1
00:00:01,210 --> 00:00:01,920
All right.

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:03,460
Hey, everyone.

3
00:00:03,740 --> 00:00:05,160
Hope y'all are doing well.

4
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,620
Hope everyone's staying safe out there.

5
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,620
I'm nothing.

6
00:00:11,340 --> 00:00:14,400
Welcome to DEF CON safe mode.

7
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:30,680
So this is basically going to be an introduction into the world of high security locks and kind of what they look like, what they are, how we go about picking them.

8
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:37,700
So I'm going to kind of just show you a bunch of locks and tell you some different techniques.

9
00:00:37,700 --> 00:00:48,600
I'm not going to go into anything super deep, but hopefully it'll get some people out there interested in exploring and maybe even picking some of these things.

10
00:00:49,680 --> 00:01:06,300
So when you talk about a high security lock, we're mainly talking about a lock that has tried a little bit harder than your general typical pin tumbler, wafer, lever lock to keep people out.

11
00:01:06,980 --> 00:01:16,680
And that can be anything from pick resistance to physical attacks, though I'm not going to go into physical security a whole lot here.

12
00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:24,680
I'm mainly going to be talking about the locking mechanisms, but high security locks will generally be more physically resistant as well.

13
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:36,740
They'll have more drill protection, better materials in the cases, and the pins will be made out of steel instead of brass a lot of times, things like that.

14
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:48,160
So basically, high security locks are typically referred to as locks that have more than just one standard locking mechanism.

15
00:01:48,980 --> 00:02:00,220
Now this can be either by incorporating more than one locking mechanism, in terms of having two independent locking mechanisms in one lock.

16
00:02:00,260 --> 00:02:10,000
Also things like adding more pins to make it basically like you're picking two pin tumbler locks together, two or more.

17
00:02:10,220 --> 00:02:20,240
So there's a lot, there's a wide variety of things that make a lock high security, but typically these are also locks that have been rated by different industries.

18
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:32,400
In America you have things like ANSI, BHMA, and UL, Underwriters Laboratories, who put these locks to the test and make sure that they are up to standard.

19
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:43,560
Overseas you have things like the BSI, I think it's the British Standards Institute, and CEN that will rate these things in terms of their toughness.

20
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:48,980
So I can't talk about high security locks without talking about Medeco.

21
00:02:48,980 --> 00:02:58,320
Medeco is kind of what I would consider the quintessential high security lock, and it is most people's entry point into high security locks.

22
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:17,620
Now Medeco, when you look at the key, at first glance you might think it just looks like a regular key, regular pin tumbler lock, but if you look closer you can see that there's actually angles that those pin cuts, the bidding, is also angular.

23
00:03:17,620 --> 00:03:31,020
And that's because on a Medeco lock not only do the pins have to be raised to a certain height, but they also have to be rotated to a certain angle to allow a secondary locking mechanism, a sidebar, to drop into place.

24
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:43,740
Now the pins, there's a few different types of Medecos, but the pins will generally look like this, which is, let's see, a bit different than you're used to.

25
00:03:43,860 --> 00:03:49,440
At first glance it'll look like a normal pin, but then you'll see that it has that little slice in the side of it.

26
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:56,100
And what that is, is that's the track that allows the sidebar to fall into, and we call that a gate.

27
00:03:56,220 --> 00:04:03,260
Now some Medeco pins also have false gates, and let's see, I don't think this one does.

28
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,040
Oh yep, sure does.

29
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,260
Okay, so on this one the false gate is right here.

30
00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:08,400
It's very shallow.

31
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:14,680
I don't know if you can see it, but it actually runs the full length of the pin, where in this one the true gate does not.

32
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:20,320
And that actually prevents an attack by a tool called a Medecoder.

33
00:04:22,220 --> 00:04:24,840
So Medeco's got a few different types of locks.

34
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:33,340
This is a Medeco Classic, and they will generally have the UL stamp on them, and not a whole lot more on the face.

35
00:04:33,340 --> 00:04:38,340
Sometimes you'll see a 51S, but they have pretty wide open keyways.

36
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,060
There's not a whole lot to these things on the front.

37
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:59,180
And then in the Medeco Classic, and also in the new ones, you have things like the large format interchangeable core, where this core can be removed, placed into another, or actually replaced or placed into another lock.

38
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:07,880
And then you have the Medeco Biaxial, which is denoted by this little symbol right here.

39
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:11,660
Looks like a couple little crescents there.

40
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,620
And what that means is that the pins have been redesigned.

41
00:05:15,620 --> 00:05:23,060
So this is a Medeco Biaxial pin, and at first glance it looks a lot like the standard Medeco Classic pin.

42
00:05:23,180 --> 00:05:29,160
But if you look a little bit closer at the bottom there, you'll see that that point isn't directly in the center.

43
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:37,860
So the chisel tip on this pin is slightly offset, which makes it what you call either a fore or an aft pin.

44
00:05:38,260 --> 00:05:45,200
And that means that the cut in the key could either be a little closer or a little further away.

45
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:51,660
It makes picking these and decoding them a bit more difficult, and a lot more pins are involved in that process.

46
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:59,080
And as you can see, this one even has a little ridge at the top there to make it so it gets stuck if you try to pick it.

47
00:06:00,740 --> 00:06:05,480
They also, in the top, will have these mushroom pins sometimes.

48
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,280
Make it a little bit more difficult to pick.

49
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,380
Now Medecos are all over the place.

50
00:06:14,020 --> 00:06:17,440
You'll see them in government installations.

51
00:06:17,860 --> 00:06:19,960
A lot of businesses use them.

52
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,800
This is a four pin Medeco that actually goes to a payphone.

53
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,900
And it looks a little bit different, but you can see that key still has those angular cuts on it.

54
00:06:32,180 --> 00:06:38,340
And this is a biaxial, and you can tell you see that that's the biaxial symbol right there.

55
00:06:41,140 --> 00:06:44,820
So they also come in padlocks, things like that.

56
00:06:44,820 --> 00:06:46,100
See them everywhere.

57
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:47,280
They're really neat locks.

58
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:49,480
It's definitely a fun one to get started.

59
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,360
So they also make cam locks.

60
00:06:52,600 --> 00:07:04,180
Now when we're talking about high security cam locks, the security is definitely a little lower than your standard door locks, padlocks, things like that.

61
00:07:04,180 --> 00:07:08,740
Some of the padlocks actually have the cam lock style lock involved.

62
00:07:09,180 --> 00:07:15,340
And these do have to be lifted and rotated, but the cam locks do not have driver pins.

63
00:07:15,420 --> 00:07:20,240
So the way they accomplished that, and actually you can see this is a biaxial key.

64
00:07:20,260 --> 00:07:22,900
See these are close together and that one's far away.

65
00:07:23,220 --> 00:07:27,000
So that's the couple fours and an aft pin in there.

66
00:07:28,020 --> 00:07:34,520
So the cam locks work only by a sidebar, but the pins are a little bit different.

67
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:43,940
So instead of having that slot all the way down the length of the pin, this pin here just has, if I can find it, there it is.

68
00:07:47,620 --> 00:07:48,980
Come back here.

69
00:07:48,980 --> 00:07:50,140
There we go.

70
00:07:50,140 --> 00:07:52,700
So it's just got a little hole in the side there.

71
00:07:53,280 --> 00:08:00,860
So that makes it so that you have to raise it up and rotate it to where a finger sticking out of the sidebar will poke into that little hole.

72
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,780
Now there's a couple different styles of cam lock pins.

73
00:08:04,780 --> 00:08:11,640
You have one that's got that just that big serration around it and one like this that has two smaller serrations or three.

74
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,920
And I can't tell you exactly where you'll find these in the specific locks.

75
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,380
I just know that sometimes you find different ones.

76
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,340
So Medeco and the cam locks, they have all sorts of format like this here.

77
00:08:25,540 --> 00:08:28,160
It is a T-handle plug lock.

78
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:34,400
So this one will actually go into a hole that'll block a T -handle key from reaching in there.

79
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:44,680
And then we also have the Medeco DuraCam, which is a dimple lock variant of that cam lock.

80
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:45,880
Now this is the same thing.

81
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,560
It's just turned on its side.

82
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:52,700
The key is actually a lot stronger on these, a lot harder to break.

83
00:08:54,900 --> 00:09:02,380
So that Medeco design is awesome, but when you're talking about rotating pins, there's an even cooler lock out there.

84
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,240
This is called the Corbin M-Heart.

85
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:17,000
Now these guys got sued out of existence by Medeco because of the design and the similarities because these pins are rotated.

86
00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:20,560
You can see that in the key.

87
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,440
Actually, it's kind of hard to see there, but trust me, they do rotate.

88
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:34,700
And the reason these pins rotate is because unlike the Medeco, this doesn't have a sidebar, but these pins actually interlock with each other.

89
00:09:36,140 --> 00:09:39,440
So let me see if I can get this apart and I'll show you that.

90
00:09:45,580 --> 00:09:47,880
Oh, there goes the spring.

91
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,600
All right, there's the spring.

92
00:09:53,740 --> 00:10:00,800
So now these pins, when they come out, are actually going to be stuck to each other.

93
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:15,000
So they have a tongue and groove system where the key, or the pin on the top, it's kind of a dovetail.

94
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:20,640
It has a little tongue sticking out and the pin, the key pin, has a groove that that fits in.

95
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:26,640
And unless they're rotated to the proper position, they cannot separate and that lock will never open.

96
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:30,340
I really wish these were still around, still being made.

97
00:10:30,340 --> 00:10:32,080
These are awesome locks.

98
00:10:33,020 --> 00:10:36,360
And there's a lot more information out there on them if you're interested.

99
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,700
All right, so here, let's show this one real quick.

100
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:56,780
This is another way of doing high security, a little different, just a little lower security.

101
00:10:56,780 --> 00:10:59,840
This is another one of those T-handle plug locks though.

102
00:11:00,740 --> 00:11:11,820
This is a van lock and this is basically just a tubular lock that has very difficult, it's very difficult to tension.

103
00:11:12,140 --> 00:11:17,620
The face is basically just flat and the key has these little pins that stick out of them.

104
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:24,180
These aren't super high security and the plug is all brass, pins are steel, but the plug is all brass.

105
00:11:24,340 --> 00:11:28,660
So it makes drilling a little bit easier, but not super easy.

106
00:11:28,660 --> 00:11:32,800
These are usually used in like vending machines, anything that involves cash.

107
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,700
They're not used as much as they used to, but they're still pretty cool.

108
00:11:36,700 --> 00:11:39,020
They're used in gas pumps, things like that.

109
00:11:43,230 --> 00:11:50,210
So another one of the big names in high security that you'll see is a company called Multilock.

110
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:58,130
And Multilock is actually kind of a reinvention and a continuance of the Rav Barya company in Israel.

111
00:11:58,130 --> 00:12:00,850
Rav Barya meaning multi-bolt.

112
00:12:01,090 --> 00:12:10,970
But the Multilock, what they did is they took a standard pin tumbler lock and said, hey, let's put pins inside those pins.

113
00:12:11,150 --> 00:12:19,350
So if you look at this key here, you can see that each one of those pins, five pin, pin in pin, so it's 10 total.

114
00:12:19,390 --> 00:12:22,610
But if you look, you have an outer pin and an inner pin.

115
00:12:23,150 --> 00:12:34,730
So when picking this lock, you have to use a much smaller dimple flag, something that can get into those inner pins and pick them as well as setting the outer pins.

116
00:12:36,230 --> 00:12:41,010
And I've actually thinned out a pick.

117
00:12:41,010 --> 00:12:41,810
Let's see here.

118
00:12:41,810 --> 00:12:47,790
So this is one of the picks that I use when picking Multilocks or setting inner pins.

119
00:12:47,790 --> 00:12:53,350
I use a pretty wide variety of different picks for these things.

120
00:12:53,370 --> 00:13:03,710
And that's one thing about high security locks is you'll definitely get into making a lot of picks because you tend to not find all the tools that you need out there.

121
00:13:05,690 --> 00:13:16,190
But so this is a standard Multilock classic, which is just the standard pin in pin format where you have the five pin in pins.

122
00:13:16,810 --> 00:13:20,870
And if you're interested in these, they have been knocked off.

123
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:23,150
A bunch of companies make cheaper ones.

124
00:13:23,150 --> 00:13:28,250
This is a company called Btech or Boldtech or I don't know the exact name.

125
00:13:28,530 --> 00:13:32,910
But this is a five pin, pin in pin, but there are no security pins, all standard.

126
00:13:32,910 --> 00:13:36,330
This is a very good entryway into picking Multilocks.

127
00:13:36,330 --> 00:13:38,590
And this was, I think it was like 15 bucks.

128
00:13:40,070 --> 00:13:42,870
But then Multilock wanted to innovate a bit further.

129
00:13:42,870 --> 00:13:51,830
The patent on the classic expired and to extend the patent, make it a little more difficult to copy the keys.

130
00:13:51,830 --> 00:13:55,410
What they did is involved what's called an interactive element.

131
00:13:55,410 --> 00:13:57,470
So this is the Multilock interactive.

132
00:13:58,610 --> 00:14:14,510
And this right here is a movable element in the key that when you insert the key in the lock, a portion or a little dimple in the bottom of the lock will actually lift that up and set the pin higher than the shear line.

133
00:14:15,370 --> 00:14:20,370
Now for key copying, that's very, it makes it a lot, very difficult, a lot more difficult.

134
00:14:20,490 --> 00:14:31,850
But for picking, it's actually makes it a little easier because you always know that that second pin is going to be set higher than the shear line or at the shear line, depending on the bidding.

135
00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:34,290
Got another classic here.

136
00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:41,830
And these tend to have some pretty extreme bidding sometimes as low as you can get followed by some as high as you can get in the back.

137
00:14:43,690 --> 00:14:49,430
But then Multilock does have an ultra high security variety that's called the MT5 Plus.

138
00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:54,630
They also have the MT5, which is like this except no slider track.

139
00:14:54,630 --> 00:15:04,770
But what this is, is this takes the five pin, pin in pin design, adds an interactive element as a sixth pin at the back here.

140
00:15:05,270 --> 00:15:17,170
And then it also has a slider track where five sliders need, they're unsprung, five unsprung sliders need to be moved into place to allow this lock to open.

141
00:15:18,270 --> 00:15:21,870
I'm actually looking at that, it looks like four, but I'm pretty sure it's five.

142
00:15:22,950 --> 00:15:31,530
So this is a very difficult lock to pick, something that maybe you will aspire to in the future.

143
00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:53,030
So other companies, like Sargent, decided to instead of doing multiple locking mechanisms in one, they said why don't we just add a bunch more pins into this lock and put three pin tumbler locks all around each other.

144
00:15:53,410 --> 00:16:07,270
So this lock here is a dimple lock, and it's actually got three rows of pins, two that come in at 90 degrees from the side here and one that comes in here directly at the top.

145
00:16:07,710 --> 00:16:13,790
So you can see that key has bidding on all three sides, and it's actually got it on all sides because it's a reversible key.

146
00:16:14,670 --> 00:16:24,350
This is called the Keyso, and these are incredibly difficult to pick, incredibly tight tolerances, very nice lock.

147
00:16:24,350 --> 00:16:30,850
This is, it looks like a strange format, this was actually their answer to interchangeable cores.

148
00:16:30,850 --> 00:16:33,570
I don't have one of the standard Keysos with me.

149
00:16:35,830 --> 00:16:39,170
So then this, this here is an actual Keyso.

150
00:16:39,170 --> 00:16:40,870
Keyso became a brand.

151
00:16:40,950 --> 00:16:45,870
I don't really know the history behind that, but if anyone feels like looking it up, they can.

152
00:16:46,070 --> 00:16:48,830
Keyso is part of the Assa Abla group.

153
00:16:48,830 --> 00:16:56,770
This is a 2000S, which means it has the Omega element, which is a different type of interactive element down here.

154
00:16:57,730 --> 00:17:07,310
So in addition to having bidding on all three sides of the key, this has a spring-loaded pin in the tip of the key.

155
00:17:07,310 --> 00:17:15,330
And what this does is it sets a pin inside the lock, but then when you turn the key, the pin actually pushes in here.

156
00:17:15,330 --> 00:17:25,670
And if you don't have that spring-loaded feature there, the lock won't open because that pin will get stuck on the side of the key, won't be able to move in, and it will prevent the lock from opening.

157
00:17:27,610 --> 00:17:34,890
Now these Keysos, the Keyso brand locks, are actually a little bit easier to pick than the Sargent Keysos I've found.

158
00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:38,310
Still not easy by any means though.

159
00:17:40,070 --> 00:17:44,490
So when you're talking about companies that put a lot of pins in things...

160
00:17:45,310 --> 00:17:48,510
um let's see here... so there we go.

161
00:17:49,610 --> 00:17:54,030
One of the companies that tends to come to mind is Kaba.

162
00:17:54,030 --> 00:17:57,090
Kaba is not part of the Assa Abloy group.

163
00:17:57,610 --> 00:18:04,950
Assa Abloy tends to own like most of the companies out there anymore, but Kaba is not part of that.

164
00:18:04,950 --> 00:18:13,050
This is what's called a Kaba 20, and this has the ability for 21 pins to be in this single lock here.

165
00:18:13,050 --> 00:18:20,510
This one I think has, let's see, 6, 6, and 4, so it would have 18... 16.

166
00:18:20,730 --> 00:18:22,850
So this one has 16 pins in it.

167
00:18:22,850 --> 00:18:26,770
Most of them have 18, 17, 16, something like that.

168
00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:31,610
Kaba tends to remove pins for master keying.

169
00:18:31,610 --> 00:18:32,670
It's interesting.

170
00:18:32,930 --> 00:18:36,470
But this lock here has four rows of pins.

171
00:18:36,470 --> 00:18:46,530
It has two rows coming in here at a 90 degree angle, and then two rows coming up at a diagonal at each side there.

172
00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:50,110
And those diagonal pins are actually very strange when you pick them.

173
00:18:50,110 --> 00:18:52,130
They feel kind of pillowy.

174
00:18:52,130 --> 00:18:55,850
It's an interesting feeling to pick them.

175
00:18:55,850 --> 00:18:57,530
You got to get used to it.

176
00:19:04,420 --> 00:19:15,220
So in terms of dimple locks, this is one that kind of took a... kind of made a lock all their own.

177
00:19:16,180 --> 00:19:24,420
It's called a Banham, and it's got two rows of pins, but there are no driver pins in this lock.

178
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:32,700
And if you look at the key, this key actually has holes in it.

179
00:19:32,980 --> 00:19:42,460
And the reason for that is that the way this lock works is that the pins actually oppose each other.

180
00:19:42,460 --> 00:19:43,760
This is one of the cores.

181
00:19:45,260 --> 00:19:51,300
And you have a pin on this side and a pin on this side, and they touch each other.

182
00:19:51,820 --> 00:19:56,260
So when you move them this way, the pin on this side sticks out into the Bible.

183
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,200
When you move them this way, the pin on this side sticks out into the Bible.

184
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:14,440
So in picking this lock, basically what you have to do is get in there and move all the pins so that none of them are protruding out of the plug into the Bible, even though they're all touching inside, which makes it very difficult to get a pick in between them.

185
00:20:15,260 --> 00:20:22,820
You can kind of see there them sticking out into those chambers, and then when they all fall into the right spot, you can rotate the key.

186
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,040
Now these are generally just found in England.

187
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:32,060
You don't see them very much in the States, actually at all, unless it's a collector.

188
00:20:32,940 --> 00:20:35,860
But it's a very expensive lock.

189
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,720
Very fun to pick, actually.

190
00:20:39,380 --> 00:20:43,040
But it's definitely something new to learn.

191
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,400
So this here is another part of the Assa Abloy group.

192
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,200
This is Zeiss Icon.

193
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,140
This is a super cool lock.

194
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,200
This is the WSW-W10.

195
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:13,480
Now what these guys have done is kind of what a lock that I'm going to show you in a little bit also did, but they took sliders and integrated that in with a dimple lock.

196
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:23,260
So on this lock here, you've got your six dimple pins that come in on the side of the key, but then you've also got your slider tracks on the side.

197
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:35,740
So this lock has a total of 10 slider cuts on both sides, but there's actually only five to seven sliders in each of these.

198
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,560
But let's see if we can get this open.

199
00:21:45,390 --> 00:21:46,870
This one's a little sticky.

200
00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:47,850
There we go.

201
00:21:58,430 --> 00:22:08,570
So you've got your dimple pins up there on top, and then you've got your sidebar here, and all your sliders there on the bottom.

202
00:22:09,010 --> 00:22:26,730
Now if you can see how that nub is only sticking out on that side, you could also have one that's on the other side, and that makes things like master keying a lot more approachable without having to add security vulnerabilities into the lock.

203
00:22:27,170 --> 00:22:34,950
So you can have multiple sliders that have different pegs on either side that allows you to use the same key.

204
00:22:35,910 --> 00:22:39,670
Now these sliders are incredibly difficult to pick.

205
00:22:40,450 --> 00:22:46,990
They have six false gates and one true gate, and those false gates are just absolutely tiny.

206
00:22:47,370 --> 00:22:55,670
So it makes determining between them... well, the true gate is also very tiny, so it makes deciphering which one you're picking very difficult.

207
00:22:58,150 --> 00:23:01,330
Let's get this guy back in his place here.

208
00:23:06,060 --> 00:23:07,320
There we go.

209
00:23:10,660 --> 00:23:13,580
And there are spool pins in the top of this.

210
00:23:15,140 --> 00:23:16,440
There we go.

211
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,480
That sidebar doesn't like to go in.

212
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:20,360
There we go.

213
00:23:21,940 --> 00:23:30,020
I think there are three spool pins generally up in the top of the bible, but the dimples are not the hard part to pick on this.

214
00:23:30,020 --> 00:23:32,540
The sidebar definitely is.

215
00:23:35,700 --> 00:23:44,960
Now in terms of sliders, the company that generally comes to mind is EVVA.

216
00:23:45,700 --> 00:23:48,900
They, again, are not a part of the Assa Abloy group.

217
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,660
EVVA does incredible work with slider locks.

218
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,660
They have a bunch of really neat ones out there.

219
00:23:57,660 --> 00:24:06,120
This one here is called the EVVA 3KS and this has 12 sliders in it.

220
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,600
Each key has three tracks on the side.

221
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:22,700
Those notches you see on the top are just a passive top bar for key control, but each of these sliders alternating inside has a different peg sticking out.

222
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:31,720
Some just have a singular peg that goes into that deep track, and then others have parallel pegs that ride in those parallel tracks there.

223
00:24:32,020 --> 00:24:39,980
These are all unsprung sliders, which the key basically traps them, puts them in the right position, and allows the key to rotate.

224
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,600
This is a strange format.

225
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,320
It's a Japanese mortise cylinder.

226
00:24:44,860 --> 00:24:52,220
You can see here they have these little divots in the key, and what that's for is all high security locks have to be key retaining.

227
00:24:52,780 --> 00:25:04,820
So when you turn it, little pegs stick down into those divots and make it so that even in certain biddings that are kind of flat, the key cannot be retracted unless the lock is locked.

228
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:21,980
Now what you see here is what's called a security card, and many high security locks will come with these cards that makes it so that you cannot get your key copied unless you have the proper security card.

229
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:33,620
And this one I'm not really worried about because I'm not going to be using this so I can show you this, but if you take this card into a locksmith you can get the keys I just showed you reproduced.

230
00:25:37,860 --> 00:25:45,100
Sorry about huffing and puffing there, I'm kind of leaning over a desk here, but I'll have some whiskey and catch my breath real quick.

231
00:25:57,140 --> 00:26:03,720
Now this is not a super high security lock, but I wanted to show it anyway because it's really neat.

232
00:26:04,180 --> 00:26:06,960
It's got eight sliders in it, four on either side.

233
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:15,100
Each one of them has a sidebar different on each side, and for some reason for the life of me I cannot get this thing open.

234
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,860
And I swear it doesn't have false gates.

235
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:23,620
I've only taken a couple of the sliders out, but I just get a really deep false set and it will not open up.

236
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:32,300
I don't know why, but this is called a tray lock and I got this on ebay for I think 20 bucks or something like that.

237
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:35,340
But great little lock, tons of fun to play with.

238
00:26:35,580 --> 00:26:42,840
If you're just getting started I wouldn't necessarily recommend going after this one, but if you do, more power to you.

239
00:26:47,180 --> 00:26:50,780
Now this is another pure slider lock.

240
00:26:50,780 --> 00:26:52,220
Let me see if I can find it here.

241
00:26:52,220 --> 00:26:53,180
There we go.

242
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,960
Kind of like the EVA-3KS, it is springless.

243
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,580
It doesn't have any springs in it.

244
00:26:58,580 --> 00:27:00,740
This is called the ASSA Desmo.

245
00:27:00,820 --> 00:27:03,620
This is obviously part of the ASSA ABLU group.

246
00:27:04,260 --> 00:27:29,880
Now what the Desmo is, is ASSA they make cam locks, they do padlocks, they have I think some oval cylinders, but this is meant for to basically to use where it's going to get a lot of use, maybe some dirt, not a lot of maintenance.

247
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,760
It's supposed to be a very low maintenance lock.

248
00:27:32,900 --> 00:27:38,160
I found that a lot of these will actually jam up over time and makes it really hard to turn the key.

249
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:47,300
I haven't figured out why, but I'm hoping they fixed it in the new Desmo Plus, but I'm not completely sure about that.

250
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,980
Now this one here is an 8 slider Desmo.

251
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:58,040
This has four sliders on either side that have a sidebar on both sides interacting.

252
00:27:58,140 --> 00:28:04,880
Each slider has two false gates and one true gate that are exactly the same width, just a different depth.

253
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,820
Makes it a bit difficult to judge between them.

254
00:28:08,660 --> 00:28:12,260
These come in 6 and 8 slider variants.

255
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,520
So we have a 6 slider Desmo here.

256
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:22,260
This actually doesn't have anything in it, so I can just pop it apart and show you.

257
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:30,840
Now these also, if you look at that key, you might notice that cutout, and that is your key retaining feature on these guys.

258
00:28:31,420 --> 00:28:45,340
So when you put the key in and turn it, a lot like the 3KS, this has little T-pins that push in and trap that key in there, so you can't remove it when the lock is open.

259
00:28:46,780 --> 00:28:50,060
So this is the Desmo's sidebar here.

260
00:28:50,980 --> 00:28:52,380
Let me get one out.

261
00:28:54,440 --> 00:29:02,920
So it's just got that little teeny shelf there that fits into the side of these pins.

262
00:29:08,060 --> 00:29:10,960
So that there is a Desmo pin.

263
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,300
And you see it's got the two false gates and the one true gate.

264
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,600
And that sidebar slides into that true gate and that allows it to retract.

265
00:29:25,140 --> 00:29:30,840
So these are the T-pins and springs that I talked about that actually go in and trap the key in place.

266
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,080
So you can see a couple in there that the springs are wrapped around.

267
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,260
The spring goes inside the T-pin and that's also what pushes the sidebar back.

268
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,760
You can see that's where it goes right there in the sidebar channel.

269
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:59,300
So ASSA, the Desmo, is kind of like the sidebar to the ASSA Twin.

270
00:30:00,660 --> 00:30:08,080
This was ASSA's, not their first step into high security, but definitely their first step into ultra high security.

271
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:21,760
The ASSA Twin was, I think, the first patent, maybe not the first, but the first sidebar patent by Bo Wieden or Boveden, depending on where you are, how you pronounce things.

272
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:32,300
He also, I think, is responsible for the patent on that WSWW-10 I showed you a few minutes ago.

273
00:30:34,340 --> 00:30:44,100
So the ASSA Twin, basically what they did here, is they took a standard pin tumbler lock and then put a slider lock on the side.

274
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:57,920
Now this is kind of like, the pins are kind of like the Desmo, except without this part here, you just have that there, except it extends this way.

275
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:05,160
So you have two false gates on either side of the true gate, and the bidding is actually on the sidebar itself.

276
00:31:05,380 --> 00:31:09,880
So the shelves in the sidebar will be at different heights depending on the bidding of the key.

277
00:31:11,820 --> 00:31:20,120
This one has the original gin bottle shaped spools, which is definitely one of, I would say, the hardest locks to pick I've ever encountered.

278
00:31:21,220 --> 00:31:25,740
This is an incredible lock and definitely something to aspire to.

279
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,380
They also generally have pretty insane bidding also.

280
00:31:35,260 --> 00:31:38,220
So the ASSA Twin's been upgraded a few times.

281
00:31:38,220 --> 00:31:42,160
The patent expired and they put out different features.

282
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:54,480
There's one called the V10 that has the same ideas as the WSW to where it'll have a peg on one side or the other, and you have 10 tracks that can raise them to different levels.

283
00:31:55,220 --> 00:32:03,080
And the last rendition is this here, well actually not the last, I think the DP is the last, but this is the ASSA Twin Combi.

284
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:16,300
Now what this is is basically the same deal, except the sidebar pins, not only do they have to be lifted, or the finger pins on the sidebar, but they also have to be rotated to the correct position.

285
00:32:16,740 --> 00:32:22,520
So this lock is kind of like having a 6-pin ASSA with a Medeco on the side.

286
00:32:23,580 --> 00:32:27,160
These are incredibly difficult to pick.

287
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:33,080
I've never actually gotten a Combi open yet, one of the few locks that I have that I've not been able to get open.

288
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,360
These things are incredible.

289
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,060
It's an amazing work of mechanics.

290
00:32:39,580 --> 00:32:43,700
I'm very impressed with the way they did this.

291
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,540
This here is just a double Euro of the Combi.

292
00:32:52,260 --> 00:32:55,140
Another example of their incredible bidding.

293
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,160
And you can see those sidebar are kind of sweeping.

294
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:08,880
They're not directly up and down to set just vertical height, but they also kind of sweep to set those horizontally also.

295
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,040
Rotationally I should say.

296
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:22,020
Now while I'm showing ASSA, I guess I'll show this guy here.

297
00:33:22,020 --> 00:33:24,120
This has an ASSA core in it.

298
00:33:24,420 --> 00:33:26,640
This is what's called a mogul cylinder.

299
00:33:26,940 --> 00:33:28,720
These are used in prisons.

300
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:38,680
As you can see, it is much bigger than your standard mortar cylinder, and obviously that'll make it a lot tougher.

301
00:33:38,860 --> 00:33:41,040
These are made of, I think, case-hardened steel.

302
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,520
Might be full-hardened steel.

303
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,780
I'm not completely sure about that.

304
00:33:44,780 --> 00:33:50,100
But this is actually replacing another lock that was basically just a beefed-up mortar cylinder.

305
00:33:50,100 --> 00:33:56,080
This big, but just five standard pins and some couple spools, things like that.

306
00:33:56,140 --> 00:33:58,480
But this incorporates that ASSA twin.

307
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,340
It's the ASSA twin 6000.

308
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,620
This is the 851 keyway.

309
00:34:04,380 --> 00:34:11,020
But it puts the ASSA twin 6000 into that gigantic form factor for prisons.

310
00:34:12,620 --> 00:34:17,600
And while I'm showing you that, prisons also use lever locks.

311
00:34:17,820 --> 00:34:21,260
This is a lever lock key from a prison.

312
00:34:22,180 --> 00:34:29,460
I don't have a lock to show you, unfortunately, but I don't know why, but everything in a prison is bigger.

313
00:34:29,540 --> 00:34:30,820
Well, I do know why.

314
00:34:30,820 --> 00:34:34,480
It's to make them a lot tougher, but I think these are pretty cool.

315
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,220
I'd like to get one of these soon.

316
00:34:39,340 --> 00:34:48,100
So, I guess Schlage wanted to be part of the party with the ASSA twin, so they went ahead and created the Primus.

317
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:56,660
Now, this is not nearly as difficult to pick as the ASSA twin line, but it's the same concept.

318
00:34:57,460 --> 00:35:03,660
So, you have basically a Schlage lock with a Medeco on the side.

319
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:05,680
Same deal as the Combi.

320
00:35:06,220 --> 00:35:12,640
Where you have those sweeping sidebar fingers that need to be lifted and rotated to the same height.

321
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,760
Or not to the same height, to different heights, I'm sorry.

322
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,540
But this is Schlage's entry into the high security game.

323
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,100
These are incredibly neat.

324
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:25,380
I actually had to make a pick.

325
00:35:25,380 --> 00:35:27,840
And actually, while I'm at it, let me show you these real quick.

326
00:35:33,950 --> 00:35:37,390
So, this is my ASSA twin Combi pick.

327
00:35:37,590 --> 00:35:39,070
One of the ones I use.

328
00:35:39,310 --> 00:35:41,030
I don't know if you can see that.

329
00:35:43,990 --> 00:35:47,590
So, you can see that little U-shape in there.

330
00:35:47,630 --> 00:35:52,630
And that's to actually hook into and lift up those finger pins and also be able to rotate them.

331
00:35:53,050 --> 00:35:58,350
So, I think this is the one I used for the Primus.

332
00:35:58,350 --> 00:35:59,070
Oh, no.

333
00:35:59,070 --> 00:36:02,990
Actually, it was this one.

334
00:36:02,990 --> 00:36:03,970
I'm sorry.

335
00:36:03,970 --> 00:36:06,230
Goes the other direction.

336
00:36:07,330 --> 00:36:15,130
But if you get into high security locks, you'll definitely end up making a lot of your own tools, like I said earlier.

337
00:36:15,950 --> 00:36:20,790
But this here is my Primus pick for the sidebar pins.

338
00:36:30,950 --> 00:36:32,210
All right.

339
00:36:32,210 --> 00:36:34,330
Oh, I didn't show this earlier.

340
00:36:34,330 --> 00:36:42,570
So, another lock that decided to take high pin counts and take it to the extreme.

341
00:36:42,570 --> 00:36:45,310
This is the Maurer Crypto.

342
00:36:45,890 --> 00:36:55,490
Looks a little weird because I happened to brick it while I was trying to take it apart at one point, but I will fix that eventually.

343
00:36:56,090 --> 00:37:01,070
This actually has 18 standard pins, or 18 pins.

344
00:37:01,070 --> 00:37:03,270
It's got 6 on the side.

345
00:37:03,990 --> 00:37:04,590
6.

346
00:37:04,590 --> 00:37:05,730
So, here.

347
00:37:06,050 --> 00:37:13,870
We got 6 coming down from here, 6 coming up from here, and then another 6 going in this way at the corner.

348
00:37:14,390 --> 00:37:18,230
These pins are very tightly packed in there.

349
00:37:18,230 --> 00:37:25,170
It's really hard to get in there with any tool to pick them individually without oversetting others.

350
00:37:25,750 --> 00:37:31,390
This is a super neat lock, but another incredibly difficult one.

351
00:37:33,270 --> 00:37:36,810
But that's more in tune with the Cabas, things like that.

352
00:37:39,610 --> 00:37:48,010
So, the Australians, when they got into high security, they decided to create this guy here.

353
00:37:48,450 --> 00:37:49,990
It's called the Bi-Lock.

354
00:37:50,370 --> 00:37:56,230
So, instead of saying, let's just take one key and put a bunch of pins on it, they said, hey, let's put two locks side by side.

355
00:37:56,810 --> 00:38:01,070
So, you can see this looks like literally two keys just glued together.

356
00:38:02,890 --> 00:38:05,290
There's different bidding on either side.

357
00:38:06,070 --> 00:38:08,470
And this is not a standard pin tumbler, both.

358
00:38:08,470 --> 00:38:20,230
What this is, is it's more like that Medeco cam lock, to where you have 12 pins, and they're lifted, but there's things in there that prevent them from rotating.

359
00:38:20,230 --> 00:38:29,250
But they do have a hole in the side, and that side bar, or both the side bars, have little fingers that stick out and stick into the holes in the side of those pins.

360
00:38:30,190 --> 00:38:37,050
They will have false gates, false notches, false whatever you want to call it, and true.

361
00:38:38,290 --> 00:38:40,370
Doesn't like to... I'll fix that.

362
00:38:40,370 --> 00:38:52,470
But basically, it is two Medeco locks side by side, without the rotation.

363
00:38:57,220 --> 00:39:01,460
And, oh, I guess... I forgot

364
00:39:08,590 --> 00:39:11,190
that I can just take this guy apart for you.

365
00:39:13,090 --> 00:39:14,550
There we go.

366
00:39:17,430 --> 00:39:23,210
So, there are our side bars, and that is kind of what the pins look like there.

367
00:39:23,370 --> 00:39:28,470
They have that point, but unlike the Medeco, these aren't angled.

368
00:39:33,410 --> 00:39:39,910
And let's go ahead and see if I can pop one of these side bars out.

369
00:39:39,910 --> 00:39:40,890
There we go.

370
00:39:41,570 --> 00:39:47,830
So the side bar's got those fingers that stick out of it, which sticks into the holes in the sides of the pins.

371
00:39:52,170 --> 00:39:54,010
Definitely a neat idea.

372
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,780
All right, let's get this guy back together there.

373
00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:08,640
Oh, that's right.

374
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:16,880
Another thing I wanted to mention about this, since it's not a standard pin tumbler, by-locks don't have to worry about max.

375
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:28,380
So, you can see here, this goes from the lowest possible to the highest possible, to the lowest possible, to the highest possible, lowest possible, highest possible.

376
00:40:28,380 --> 00:40:33,740
So, there's no maximum adjacent cut specification for these.

377
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:39,640
So, trying to get your pick under that lowest possible to pick that highest is incredibly difficult.

378
00:40:44,070 --> 00:40:52,870
There are a couple other high security cam locks that I don't consider very high security, but they're still kind of neat, and kind of an entry level into high security.

379
00:40:52,990 --> 00:40:55,610
This guy here is called a bell lock.

380
00:40:55,770 --> 00:40:58,510
This is actually what they use in parking meters.

381
00:40:59,470 --> 00:41:01,990
I can pop this apart for you real quick.

382
00:41:04,690 --> 00:41:16,070
So, this guy basically is like a split wafer lock, where you have half wafers that pick up and down in different directions, and they basically fit into these channels here.

383
00:41:16,070 --> 00:41:18,050
But this is more like a wafer lock.

384
00:41:20,130 --> 00:41:24,910
Not very easy to pick, but not incredibly hard either.

385
00:41:25,750 --> 00:41:28,070
Definitely a fun one to get started.

386
00:41:28,570 --> 00:41:34,510
And then another high security wafer lock here, this is called the Chicago Duo.

387
00:41:35,970 --> 00:41:47,330
So, what they did here is they took your standard wafer lock that has cutting on the top and the bottom, and they added a side track here that sets four more wafers.

388
00:41:47,330 --> 00:41:50,870
So, this thing I think has like 14 wafers in it.

389
00:41:51,050 --> 00:41:51,890
Maybe a couple more.

390
00:41:51,890 --> 00:41:53,230
I think it's 14.

391
00:41:53,770 --> 00:41:55,770
It's also got profile wafers.

392
00:41:55,770 --> 00:41:57,050
There's a lot going on in there.

393
00:41:57,050 --> 00:42:01,770
It's pretty difficult to figure out where you're at, but not the hardest thing in the world.

394
00:42:02,010 --> 00:42:03,450
Pretty neat lock though.

395
00:42:07,070 --> 00:42:11,490
Alright, so this guy here, another high security lock.

396
00:42:11,850 --> 00:42:17,670
This is not very high security in terms of picking, although it's not easy to pick.

397
00:42:18,110 --> 00:42:27,930
It only has three rotating discs inside of it, but this is definitely made to withstand the elements and be incredibly beefy.

398
00:42:29,050 --> 00:42:32,690
This is called the Sergeant & Greenleaf Environmental Padlock.

399
00:42:32,930 --> 00:42:42,810
So, it was originally designed for the railroads, who had problems with their locks freezing up and seizing because of dirt and grime, and also had a lot of vandalism.

400
00:42:43,650 --> 00:42:48,390
So, they reached out to the Sergeant & Greenleaf Company, who designed this lock for them.

401
00:42:49,550 --> 00:42:50,950
And these are pretty cool.

402
00:42:50,950 --> 00:42:55,370
They're kind of antique, so if you find one, I'd suggest holding on to it.

403
00:42:55,370 --> 00:42:57,550
If you can get one with a key, that's even better.

404
00:42:57,550 --> 00:43:04,230
But the military also used these for some of their warehouses and other things like that.

405
00:43:04,970 --> 00:43:14,090
Now, in terms of disc detainer locks, Abloy is definitely going to be your quintessential high security disc detainer lock.

406
00:43:14,890 --> 00:43:16,690
And I'll show you those in a second.

407
00:43:16,690 --> 00:43:18,930
But you've got a couple other contenders here.

408
00:43:18,990 --> 00:43:25,330
This is a company called Takigen, and I'll be showing you another one of their locks in a few minutes.

409
00:43:25,330 --> 00:43:32,090
Um, it's a company out of Japan that makes manufacturing parts, industrial parts, all sorts of stuff.

410
00:43:32,110 --> 00:43:34,090
This is their disc detainer lock.

411
00:43:34,090 --> 00:43:39,190
This is their actually lower security variety, but they have higher security ones.

412
00:43:39,190 --> 00:43:42,950
But this is not going to look like your standard disc detainer key.

413
00:43:43,210 --> 00:43:50,790
And that thin curved keyway makes it so that all of your standard store-buyable disc detainer locks don't fit.

414
00:43:50,790 --> 00:43:52,430
You gotta make your own.

415
00:43:53,150 --> 00:43:59,370
And disc detainer locks is definitely going to be where you're making your own tools more than anything else.

416
00:43:59,990 --> 00:44:03,090
I've had to make all of those to pick different locks.

417
00:44:03,090 --> 00:44:05,670
Each one of them was designed for a specific lock.

418
00:44:05,670 --> 00:44:07,310
This one was for the Takigen.

419
00:44:08,110 --> 00:44:16,510
This is actually for an Anchor Lass, which is this guy right here.

420
00:44:18,610 --> 00:44:21,870
This is your security card for the Anchor Lass.

421
00:44:23,030 --> 00:44:28,570
And this is one of the very few disc detainer locks you'll find that only has bidding on one side of the key.

422
00:44:29,170 --> 00:44:32,590
And you have to put this key in a very specific way.

423
00:44:32,590 --> 00:44:34,190
It'll only go in one way.

424
00:44:34,630 --> 00:44:39,090
And then you rotate all those discs to the right spot and it'll open right up.

425
00:44:44,650 --> 00:44:52,550
But, like I mentioned before, the quintessential high security disc detainer lock is going to be your Abloy.

426
00:44:53,430 --> 00:44:55,630
This is the Abloy Classic.

427
00:44:56,250 --> 00:45:01,770
It's got a half moon looking key that again has bidding only on one side of the key.

428
00:45:02,170 --> 00:45:06,330
Which means the key can only go in one way but it's obvious by the half moon there.

429
00:45:07,650 --> 00:45:16,450
And same deal, when you rotate the key it's got to rotate a full 90 degrees to set all the discs into place and then rotate the rest of the way.

430
00:45:17,210 --> 00:45:19,490
Now this is the Abloy Classic.

431
00:45:19,490 --> 00:45:22,110
Basically their lowest security lock.

432
00:45:22,270 --> 00:45:24,230
They've got a ton of other ones.

433
00:45:24,930 --> 00:45:39,870
This is the Disc Lock Pro which has bidding on both sides of the key which allows you to actually turn this either way and it's got a few other features in there that allow that to happen.

434
00:45:40,250 --> 00:45:45,350
Most of them will just be reversible so you can open it by putting it in either way.

435
00:45:46,190 --> 00:45:48,690
But this also has a disc locking system.

436
00:45:48,790 --> 00:45:59,010
The little ball there is actually a ball bearing or little divot there is a ball bearing inside of there that will not allow any of these discs to turn until that ball bearing has been depressed.

437
00:45:59,990 --> 00:46:08,550
That is an anti-pick feature and also it makes it so that you can't damage it by rotating some discs out of order and things like that.

438
00:46:09,110 --> 00:46:21,370
Abloy has even higher security varieties like the Pro-Tech 1, Pro-Tech 2, things like that but I don't have examples of those unfortunately.

439
00:46:24,250 --> 00:46:31,230
All right so this is the other Takigen lock that I wanted to show you.

440
00:46:31,230 --> 00:46:41,270
Next couple locks I'm going to show are Japanese high security locks and the Japanese kind of tend to go all out on their high security locks.

441
00:46:41,270 --> 00:46:46,530
They go pretty crazy and they're really cool locks generally.

442
00:46:46,950 --> 00:46:50,550
So this is... I don't know the name of this to be honest.

443
00:46:50,550 --> 00:46:54,010
It comes out of a piece of equipment that I work on.

444
00:46:54,570 --> 00:47:06,790
It is a parking in-lane pay station so this basically protects cash and credit card data and things like that.

445
00:47:07,470 --> 00:47:11,730
But this kind takes high security to another level.

446
00:47:11,890 --> 00:47:18,630
This thing is both high security in that it is very hard to pick.

447
00:47:18,630 --> 00:47:20,290
I think this is an 11 pin.

448
00:47:20,290 --> 00:47:25,470
Yeah, it's an 11 pin lock where you can see in there.

449
00:47:25,470 --> 00:47:30,510
Yeah, so there are five or six.

450
00:47:30,510 --> 00:47:42,030
I think it's five pins coming in from the left side and then another six coming in from the top right at a 45 degree angle and they kind of intersect like this.

451
00:47:42,030 --> 00:47:48,510
So it's incredibly difficult to get in there and pick pins without oversetting other ones.

452
00:47:48,510 --> 00:47:52,090
Not only that, but you have to get tools in here.

453
00:47:52,090 --> 00:47:55,250
And as I'll demonstrate with these tweezers, it's a little big.

454
00:47:56,550 --> 00:47:59,790
Actually I can do it a little better with a pick.

455
00:47:59,950 --> 00:48:05,370
So trying to get a pick in there to actually pick this thing, you have to make specialty tools to get in there.

456
00:48:06,090 --> 00:48:11,050
But not only is it difficult to pick, but it's also very physically secure.

457
00:48:12,050 --> 00:48:16,590
This thing is made out of some pretty hefty materials.

458
00:48:17,690 --> 00:48:25,390
Let's see, so it's got this gigantic cam on the back.

459
00:48:27,030 --> 00:48:31,670
And not only do you have to defeat one, but you actually have to defeat two of these.

460
00:48:32,490 --> 00:48:35,550
So you got one on the top and one on the bottom.

461
00:48:36,430 --> 00:48:39,610
But this is actually one of my favorite locks in my collection.

462
00:48:39,610 --> 00:48:40,910
I love this thing.

463
00:48:41,290 --> 00:48:43,110
It's a hell of a challenge.

464
00:48:44,830 --> 00:48:49,910
All right, so another Japanese high security lock company is Miwa.

465
00:48:49,930 --> 00:48:52,350
And Miwa makes some really awesome locks.

466
00:48:52,350 --> 00:48:55,910
One thing I haven't talked about yet is magnetic locks.

467
00:48:56,070 --> 00:49:03,630
So this is a Miwa magnetic lock that actually goes to the Sega arcade cabinets, the old Sega arcade cabinets.

468
00:49:03,630 --> 00:49:05,490
They call them a candy cabinet.

469
00:49:06,210 --> 00:49:20,930
And this is actually a kind of a dumbed down version of the Miwa 3800, which has dimple pins up top and then four magnetic sliders internally.

470
00:49:21,010 --> 00:49:27,750
This one only has three magnetic sliders, two that come from the left and one that comes from the right.

471
00:49:27,990 --> 00:49:31,810
And they're stepped, so you have to pick each one of them a couple times.

472
00:49:32,310 --> 00:49:34,330
Definitely not an easy task.

473
00:49:34,330 --> 00:49:38,190
You need a magnetic pick and basically you pick this thing by sound.

474
00:49:38,730 --> 00:49:41,730
So you gotta listen to what pins are binding, which ones are not.

475
00:49:41,730 --> 00:49:46,170
You attack the one that's binding and make it jiggle.

476
00:49:46,810 --> 00:49:51,470
And that's actually how you pick most of these locks is by doing what's called the jiggle test.

477
00:49:52,970 --> 00:49:56,490
Actually, let me show you here with this Desmo sidebar.

478
00:49:57,070 --> 00:50:04,230
So when picking a lot of these locks, if they have multiple locking mechanisms in them, you can usually isolate.

479
00:50:04,650 --> 00:50:11,770
So with the Medeco, and Medeco is one of the few ones that you can actually choose what binds first.

480
00:50:11,930 --> 00:50:18,090
With the Medeco, you tension it clockwise, the driver pins will bind first.

481
00:50:18,090 --> 00:50:22,290
And if you tension it counterclockwise, the sidebar will bind first.

482
00:50:22,410 --> 00:50:28,530
So you tension it clockwise, pick all the top pins to shear, and then the sidebar will engage.

483
00:50:28,530 --> 00:50:31,110
And then you worry about rotation of the pins.

484
00:50:31,650 --> 00:50:39,490
And whenever you're dealing with a sidebar with gates, something that doesn't involve driver pins, you're going to do what's called the jiggle test.

485
00:50:39,710 --> 00:50:48,370
So you're going to go through the lock and set these to either a false gate or a true gate.

486
00:50:48,490 --> 00:50:52,710
And then you're going to tap each one with your pick and see if it jiggles.

487
00:50:52,870 --> 00:50:58,970
Because if you see, there's barely any room, but there's just enough room for this thing to move around a little bit.

488
00:50:59,330 --> 00:51:02,990
So when you tap it with your pick, you'll actually feel it jiggle.

489
00:51:03,350 --> 00:51:11,930
So when you're binding in a false gate, eventually that will stop any rotation or any jiggle because you're putting pressure on it.

490
00:51:11,930 --> 00:51:15,430
But when you get to the true gate, it will always jiggle in the true gate.

491
00:51:15,910 --> 00:51:20,570
So that's actually how we pick the majority of these locks is by what's called the jiggle test.

492
00:51:21,930 --> 00:51:24,890
So let me show you here another lock from Miwa.

493
00:51:24,930 --> 00:51:27,030
This is a really cool lock.

494
00:51:27,330 --> 00:51:29,810
This is the Miwa PR.

495
00:51:30,610 --> 00:51:35,350
And this is actually rotating wafers in there.

496
00:51:35,350 --> 00:51:38,030
Looks like a regular dimple lock, but it's not.

497
00:51:38,230 --> 00:51:45,030
There are wafers that are pivoted on a shared hinge on the top.

498
00:51:45,110 --> 00:51:51,170
And they're like crescent shaped and they pivot in the sidebar and the gates are in the bottom.

499
00:51:51,570 --> 00:51:57,130
So the sidebar pushes in, it pivots till it hits the right gate and the sidebar drops in.

500
00:51:57,790 --> 00:52:02,630
Now these have 10 and 11 wafers, depending on if they're master keyed or not.

501
00:52:03,170 --> 00:52:12,930
And they also have false gates and serrations on those wafers that make them, it just gives you a lot of different feedback in there.

502
00:52:12,930 --> 00:52:18,750
So trying to find yourself into a true gate, not the easiest thing in the world, but it's definitely doable.

503
00:52:18,830 --> 00:52:22,970
Also that keyway definitely restricts your movement in there.

504
00:52:23,610 --> 00:52:31,590
So you got to find a pick that pretty perfectly fits under certain, under the wafers without over setting them.

505
00:52:31,590 --> 00:52:38,590
Because if you look right here, see there's three dimples right here, but there's actually four wafers right there.

506
00:52:38,590 --> 00:52:41,950
So that spot there is a max lift wafer.

507
00:52:42,370 --> 00:52:44,890
So that's got to go all the way to the top.

508
00:52:44,890 --> 00:52:50,030
And then this one here is almost a zero lift wafer.

509
00:52:50,130 --> 00:52:55,430
So you got to get underneath that one and set that one as high as it can possibly go.

510
00:52:55,730 --> 00:53:00,650
So there's a lot of difficult navigation you got to do in this thing.

511
00:53:00,810 --> 00:53:03,350
Makes picking these very interesting.

512
00:53:03,390 --> 00:53:05,290
But they're tons of fun.

513
00:53:05,290 --> 00:53:09,890
Miwa makes actually a few locks on this rotating wafer design.

514
00:53:09,890 --> 00:53:14,330
The U9 is one that the key looks different.

515
00:53:14,330 --> 00:53:17,710
It actually looks more like an Ingersoll key where it doesn't have dimples.

516
00:53:17,710 --> 00:53:20,510
It's actually got cuts on the key on both sides.

517
00:53:22,030 --> 00:53:28,150
But yeah, so the Japanese make some crazy, crazy high security locks.

518
00:53:32,820 --> 00:53:36,200
So now you can have high security lever locks as well.

519
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:46,340
And in safe deposit boxes, instead of saying hey let's put two locks into one, they literally said hey let's take two locks and put them into one.

520
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,720
So this here is a Sargent and Greenleaf version.

521
00:53:49,720 --> 00:53:51,420
This is the 4440.

522
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:57,420
This is a Sargent and Greenleaf safe deposit lock.

523
00:53:57,420 --> 00:54:03,700
This here is the Mauer Mosler 5700 safe deposit box lock.

524
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:11,500
Now this is what's called a dual custody lock where two people will need to have a key.

525
00:54:11,500 --> 00:54:15,180
And this is what's called the guard key and this is the user key.

526
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:20,860
So you have to insert the guard key first to activate the user key.

527
00:54:22,340 --> 00:54:26,240
And this one actually doesn't turn all the way until I turn the guard key a little more.

528
00:54:26,240 --> 00:54:27,140
There we go.

529
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:44,440
So basically what this allows the bank to do is when you come in, they'll put in their guard key, turn it, you then put in your user key, turn it, they can then remove their guard key and leave you to do your thing.

530
00:54:44,540 --> 00:54:49,680
And then when you're ready to go you re-lock it with your user key and get out of there.

531
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,120
So those are just standard lever locks.

532
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,980
They generally have false gates but some of them don't.

533
00:54:58,580 --> 00:55:05,460
Actually I think that Mosler has serrations that the the fence and the gate fit into.

534
00:55:05,460 --> 00:55:12,680
So you'll have a serrated fence and it'll lock into serrations when you try to move it into place.

535
00:55:13,700 --> 00:55:19,760
So other high security lever locks that I'm a little bit more familiar with are here.

536
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:21,980
These are payphone locks.

537
00:55:22,720 --> 00:55:28,620
So this here is the Western Electric 29A.

538
00:55:28,820 --> 00:55:31,440
This is a five lever lock

539
00:55:34,620 --> 00:55:37,960
that protects the electronics portion of the payphone.

540
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:50,920
And you see that split in the key there and what that is is a blocking plate that sits in between the three levers in the back and the two in the front which makes it very difficult to get to those back levers.

541
00:55:51,100 --> 00:55:58,040
Not the hardest thing to pick but you definitely got to get used to it and get your technique down to get that open.

542
00:55:59,540 --> 00:56:02,580
This here is Northern Electric.

543
00:56:02,580 --> 00:56:03,980
It's a Canadian company.

544
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:38,680
The coin vault lock for theirs which is actually a pretty similar to the 29 where it's got a divider in there but this one the actuator is separated from the plug so when you turn the plug the actuator doesn't turn until the plug is about here and then by the time you get a pick in there you get stuck because I'll do another video on this in the future but it's very difficult to Now this is one of my favorite locks in the world,

545
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:45,660
and one of the reasons for that is because I am the only person in history to pick this lock on video.

546
00:56:45,660 --> 00:56:49,780
Or actually to pick this lock in any sort of documented fashion.

547
00:56:51,020 --> 00:56:58,620
I'm going to be doing a video on this lock only, also for DEF CON, which will air tomorrow.

548
00:56:58,620 --> 00:57:05,140
Tomorrow night at I think 6, I'm sorry if I get that wrong, but I think it's 6 o'clock tomorrow night.

549
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,840
And this is the Western Electric 30C.

550
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:15,820
So this lock, until I picked it, was considered unpickable, and unpicked.

551
00:57:16,460 --> 00:57:36,900
Basically, what this lock has is, not only does it have 8 levers, all with false gates, but it also has a blocker mechanism, that when you turn the key to this point, that blocker mechanism moves in and locks all the levers in place before the fence ever gets to the gates.

552
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:47,540
So when trying to pick locks, generally what you do is put tension on them, which will bind something up, so then you can then move them and find where they need to be.

553
00:57:47,700 --> 00:57:52,600
But this one, before anything binds, they're all locked into place.

554
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:56,900
So I had to figure out a very special way of picking this.

555
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:06,640
And I did, and actually you'll probably be underwhelmed when you figure out what I did, but if you feel like checking it out, it'll be on tomorrow.

556
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,860
But yeah, so that's about it.

557
00:58:10,900 --> 00:58:14,720
High security locks are kind of my passion, if you couldn't tell.

558
00:58:15,100 --> 00:58:16,580
I love everything about them.

559
00:58:16,580 --> 00:58:18,480
I do have a YouTube channel.

560
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,160
It is very difficult to find.

561
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:22,820
It is just a nothing symbol.

562
00:58:23,540 --> 00:58:29,720
But if you look on YouTube and search Western Electric 30C, you will find it.

563
00:58:30,300 --> 00:58:37,320
If you want to look at any of these any closer, I have most of the locks I showed you today on that channel.

564
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:42,220
And picking them, taking them apart, talking about them, things like that.

565
00:58:43,460 --> 00:58:46,000
Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed that.

566
00:58:46,700 --> 00:58:50,800
Sorry if it was a bit rusty and rough at first, but it is what it is.

567
00:58:50,820 --> 00:58:52,380
I appreciate you all.

568
00:58:52,380 --> 00:58:52,980
Take care.

569
00:58:52,980 --> 00:58:54,080
Stay safe.

570
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:55,500
Thank you very much.
