Recently a I got a pin tumbler Yale lock which is from a new series “500”. Yale locks, though sometimes can be a pig to pick but most of the time will pick relatively easy
Or so I thought.
The key didn’t seems to have a very special bitting so I started picking and after 15 mints moved to the HPG and bumping and since that didn’t work either and I decided to see what’s inside.
They were 4 nasty mushroom pins and an anti drill one. Those pins are very similar to the Corbin ones.

The inside pins holes have carves insdie.
The pins will drop very low into the plug which is unusal as they don’t normaly do that.

Here is a quick lock on a new cylinder made by Rav Bariach which was the first locks and doors company in Israel, Mul-t-lock was actually a sub division of this company before they were bought by Assa Abloy.
The lock contains 10 pins and it’s similar to the Interactive system but with 2 floating pins.
The floating pins have many variations so the key combinations is at high ratio.

Here is a quick look on the new Mul-t-lock Selector lock that is brand new to the market.
The lock is a clever design and actually is an improvement of the mul-t-lock 3 in 1 (already covered in my blog)
The lock comes with 6 keys and 3 colors
הצילינדר מגיע עם שישה מפתחות
The 3 white key will always open the lock they are for the owners of the flat.
שלושת המפתחות הלבנים תמיד יפתחו את המנעול
The blue key is temporary key which you can give to the cleaner /friends or whom ever needs your key for a short time.
The green key enables the blue key
המפתח הכחול ניתן לכניסות זמניות.
The red key unables the blue key.
In other words you can control the use of the blue key with your green and red key.
המפתח האדום מבטל את המפתח הכחול והמפתח הירוק מאפשר שימוש בו.
So how does it work?
All 3 keys comes with different cuts on the last pin, and unlike the mul-t-lock 3 in 1 the pins will not cut will make the lock’s trick to keep working
On the side on the plug where there are usually the place for the side pins different pin is inserted
This master pin will travel back and forth to the side pin place when the green and red keys are inserted and the plug is turned 180 degree to the left.
I’ve opened my own shop in September so therefore didn’t have much time in my hands for covering locks and picking tools (Don’t worry I still have loads of them to cover.)
Hello all, sorry for not posting in here for a while but I was a bit busy so loads of new locks and tools are will covered in my blog soon.
Here is close lock on a very interesting lock I finally manged to get my hands on- the Magnum onguard which has a very nice key (similar to 2 tracks Kia car ey) but operates in a slightly different way.
The lock is actually a smaller version on the Magnum Millenco sidebar (Already covered in ny blog) but this lock has 2 side bars operates by 8 sliders ,4 on each side and the same as the Superior Millenco has only have 3 heights.
The sliders operates with little springs that are placed underneath them, and as the key goes in they move up and down the key track.
Here is the core of the lock with the 2 sidebars
The core with no key in
And the sheer line of one side
The pins with the key in
This is how the actual pins looks like with heights 1-3
Now picking thislock is not that simple because the sliders sits very close to the plug and a very thin wire is needed, but as you can see the sidebars has a very wide room where they sit so this lock can be easily bypassed with a big screwdriver or such.
Till next time,
Coming soon- defeating the Magnum Millenco in less than 20 seconds!
Some time ago I got hold of some very nice Italian locks , as it’s clear to me that Italy must be the locks and keys capital city of the world . Silca which is the best keys cutting products company and any many other companies are from there.
The locks that I got are interesting ,the design and structures are amazing and except for one lock which I found impossible to pick they all have a way to get around.
The first lock I’m going to cover is the Champions Mottura which locks like C-38 from my research .
This is a very well made lock which has everything that a good quality lock needs
A very unique and strong anti snapping mechanism
The key has 5 pins plus a magnetic one.
So all in all the lock seems very promising while I was braking my head on how to make a tension wrench with a magnetic element and the hours of pain that this lock is going to give me I went SPP just feel the lock and 2 mints later that lock was opened..
I do know from other lock pickers friends that once that lock is picked very easy you lose interest and that is a big shame because this lock was very expensive and well made ,however you could expect the manufacture to come up with a better anti picking design and especially with the magnetic pin that seems like a normal pin.
Here’s a short video of picking this lock
More pictures of the plug and pins
P.S
Please excuse the quality of the first pictures and video as I had to use my phone..
So today I do not want to talk about locks and lockpicking and all that, but about something slightly different, which is in a way another passion of mine – passion of traveling and holidays! (And I know just how much we need them!)
A close friend of mine (the one who actually helped me with this blog, thank!) has a start up in the travel business and her company just produced tons of videos about cities in the world and some of them are on youtube so here is a link
There is lots of playlists about many cities in the world (some of them in different languages) and I must say I watched quite a lot of them by now, Barcelona seems like a great place, Istanbul isn’t bad either… give the Bangkok clips a look – the German version is fun! (needless to say that all I can say in German is schnell schnell haha). And at any rate – London stays MY number one city in the world. What’s yours??
So guys it would be great if you could take a look, click on them, like them, enjoy them and come back here as I will soon have something new about our usual theme.
cheers
