[00:01.210 --> 00:07.620]  All right. Hey, everyone. Hope y'all are doing well. Hope everyone's staying safe out there.
[00:08.960 --> 00:20.280]  I'm nothing. Welcome to DEF CON safe mode. So this is basically going to be an introduction
[00:21.540 --> 00:28.200]  into the world of high security locks and kind of what they look like, what they are,
[00:28.760 --> 00:35.800]  how we go about picking them. So I'm going to kind of just show you a bunch of locks and
[00:35.800 --> 00:39.860]  tell you some different techniques. I'm not going to go into anything super deep, but
[00:41.300 --> 00:47.120]  hopefully it'll get some people out there interested in exploring and maybe even
[00:47.120 --> 00:52.200]  picking some of these things. So when you talk about a high security lock,
[00:52.900 --> 00:59.180]  we're mainly talking about a lock that has tried a little bit harder than your general
[00:59.180 --> 01:08.580]  typical pin tumbler, wafer, lever lock to keep people out. And that can be anything from
[01:08.580 --> 01:15.520]  pick resistance to physical attacks, though I'm not going to go into physical security a whole
[01:15.520 --> 01:21.100]  lot here. I'm mainly going to be talking about the locking mechanisms, but high security locks
[01:21.100 --> 01:26.640]  will generally be more physically resistant as well. They'll have more drill protection,
[01:27.380 --> 01:34.820]  better materials in the cases, and the pins will be made out of steel instead of brass a lot of
[01:34.820 --> 01:43.520]  times, things like that. So basically, high security locks are typically referred to as
[01:43.520 --> 01:51.520]  locks that have more than just one standard locking mechanism. Now this can be either by
[01:51.520 --> 01:58.200]  incorporating more than one locking mechanism, in terms of having two independent locking
[01:58.200 --> 02:04.980]  mechanisms in one lock. Also things like adding more pins to make it basically like you're picking
[02:04.980 --> 02:13.260]  two pin tumbler locks together, two or more. So there's a lot, there's a wide variety of things
[02:13.260 --> 02:18.680]  that make a lock high security, but typically these are also locks that have been rated by
[02:18.680 --> 02:27.300]  different industries. In America you have things like ANSI, BHMA, and UL, Underwriters Laboratories,
[02:27.300 --> 02:34.000]  who put these locks to the test and make sure that they are up to standard. Overseas you have things
[02:34.000 --> 02:41.240]  like the BSI, I think it's the British Standards Institute, and CEN that will rate these things in
[02:41.240 --> 02:48.980]  terms of their toughness. So I can't talk about high security locks without talking about Medeco.
[02:48.980 --> 02:53.600]  Medeco is kind of what I would consider the quintessential high security lock,
[02:53.600 --> 02:59.960]  and it is most people's entry point into high security locks. Now Medeco, when you look at the
[02:59.960 --> 03:05.800]  key, at first glance you might think it just looks like a regular key, regular pin tumbler lock,
[03:05.800 --> 03:11.640]  but if you look closer you can see that there's actually angles that those
[03:13.660 --> 03:20.540]  pin cuts, the bidding, is also angular. And that's because on a Medeco lock not only do the
[03:20.540 --> 03:25.720]  pins have to be raised to a certain height, but they also have to be rotated to a certain angle
[03:25.720 --> 03:31.020]  to allow a secondary locking mechanism, a sidebar, to drop into place.
[03:32.640 --> 03:38.320]  Now the pins, there's a few different types of Medecos, but the pins will generally look like
[03:38.320 --> 03:45.060]  this, which is, let's see, a bit different than you're used to. At first glance it'll
[03:45.060 --> 03:49.440]  look like a normal pin, but then you'll see that it has that little slice in the side of it.
[03:49.880 --> 03:54.200]  And what that is, is that's the track that allows the sidebar to fall into,
[03:54.200 --> 03:59.560]  and we call that a gate. Now some Medeco pins also have false gates,
[04:00.460 --> 04:06.460]  and let's see, I don't think this one does. Oh yep, sure does. Okay, so on this one the false
[04:06.460 --> 04:11.820]  gate is right here. It's very shallow. I don't know if you can see it, but it actually runs the
[04:11.820 --> 04:15.480]  full length of the pin, where in this one the true gate does not. And that actually
[04:16.720 --> 04:24.840]  prevents an attack by a tool called a Medecoder. So Medeco's got a few different types of locks.
[04:24.840 --> 04:31.000]  This is a Medeco Classic, and they will generally have the UL stamp on them,
[04:31.580 --> 04:35.240]  and not a whole lot more on the face. Sometimes you'll see a 51S,
[04:35.240 --> 04:44.060]  but they have pretty wide open keyways. There's not a whole lot to these things on the front.
[04:45.160 --> 04:51.220]  And then in the Medeco Classic, and also in the new ones, you have things like the large
[04:51.220 --> 04:56.700]  format interchangeable core, where this core can be removed, placed into another, or actually
[04:56.700 --> 05:05.540]  replaced or placed into another lock. And then you have the Medeco Biaxial, which is denoted by
[05:05.540 --> 05:13.080]  this little symbol right here. Looks like a couple little crescents there. And what that means is
[05:13.080 --> 05:20.520]  that the pins have been redesigned. So this is a Medeco Biaxial pin, and at first glance it looks
[05:20.620 --> 05:26.120]  a lot like the standard Medeco Classic pin. But if you look a little bit closer at the bottom there,
[05:26.120 --> 05:31.800]  you'll see that that point isn't directly in the center. So the chisel tip on this pin
[05:31.800 --> 05:37.860]  is slightly offset, which makes it what you call either a fore or an aft pin.
[05:38.260 --> 05:44.260]  And that means that the cut in the key could either be a little closer or a little further
[05:44.260 --> 05:49.920]  away. It makes picking these and decoding them a bit more difficult, and a lot more pins are
[05:49.920 --> 05:56.440]  involved in that process. And as you can see, this one even has a little ridge at the top there to
[05:56.440 --> 06:03.980]  make it so it gets stuck if you try to pick it. They also, in the top, will have these mushroom
[06:03.980 --> 06:13.380]  pins sometimes. Make it a little bit more difficult to pick. Now Medecos are all over the place.
[06:14.020 --> 06:22.140]  You'll see them in government installations. A lot of businesses use them. This is a four pin
[06:22.140 --> 06:27.960]  Medeco that actually goes to a payphone. And it looks a little bit different, but you can see
[06:27.960 --> 06:34.880]  that key still has those angular cuts on it. And this is a biaxial, and you can tell you see that
[06:34.880 --> 06:38.340]  that's the biaxial symbol right there.
[06:41.140 --> 06:47.280]  So they also come in padlocks, things like that. See them everywhere. They're really neat locks.
[06:47.280 --> 06:53.080]  It's definitely a fun one to get started. So they also make cam locks. Now when we're
[06:53.080 --> 06:58.200]  talking about high security cam locks, the security is definitely a little lower than
[06:58.200 --> 07:06.480]  your standard door locks, padlocks, things like that. Some of the padlocks actually have the cam
[07:06.480 --> 07:13.800]  lock style lock involved. And these do have to be lifted and rotated, but the cam locks do not
[07:13.800 --> 07:19.300]  have driver pins. So the way they accomplished that, and actually you can see this is a biaxial
[07:19.300 --> 07:25.920]  key. See these are close together and that one's far away. So that's the couple fours and an aft
[07:25.920 --> 07:34.520]  pin in there. So the cam locks work only by a sidebar, but the pins are a little bit different.
[07:34.520 --> 07:39.200]  So instead of having that slot all the way down the length of the pin,
[07:39.200 --> 07:50.140]  this pin here just has, if I can find it, there it is. Come back here. There we go.
[07:50.140 --> 07:55.640]  So it's just got a little hole in the side there. So that makes it so that you have to raise it up
[07:55.640 --> 08:00.860]  and rotate it to where a finger sticking out of the sidebar will poke into that little hole.
[08:01.400 --> 08:05.920]  Now there's a couple different styles of cam lock pins. You have one that's got that
[08:05.920 --> 08:11.640]  just that big serration around it and one like this that has two smaller serrations or three.
[08:12.240 --> 08:16.560]  And I can't tell you exactly where you'll find these in the specific locks. I just know that
[08:16.560 --> 08:24.400]  sometimes you find different ones. So Medeco and the cam locks, they have all sorts of format like
[08:24.400 --> 08:32.240]  this here. It is a T-handle plug lock. So this one will actually go into a hole that'll block a
[08:32.240 --> 08:42.800]  T-handle key from reaching in there. And then we also have the Medeco DuraCam, which is a dimple
[08:42.800 --> 08:47.900]  lock variant of that cam lock. Now this is the same thing. It's just turned on its side. The key
[08:47.900 --> 08:52.700]  is actually a lot stronger on these, a lot harder to break.
[08:54.900 --> 09:00.120]  So that Medeco design is awesome, but when you're talking about rotating pins,
[09:00.120 --> 09:08.120]  there's an even cooler lock out there. This is called the Corbin M-Heart. Now these guys got
[09:08.120 --> 09:15.660]  sued out of existence by Medeco because of the design and the similarities because these pins
[09:15.660 --> 09:24.420]  are rotated. You can see that in the key. Actually, it's kind of hard to see there, but
[09:24.420 --> 09:30.000]  trust me, they do rotate. And the reason these pins rotate is because unlike the Medeco,
[09:30.000 --> 09:34.700]  this doesn't have a sidebar, but these pins actually interlock with each other.
[09:36.140 --> 09:39.440]  So let me see if I can get this apart and I'll show you that.
[09:45.580 --> 09:47.880]  Oh, there goes the spring.
[09:50.840 --> 09:57.840]  All right, there's the spring. So now these pins, when they come out,
[09:57.840 --> 10:00.800]  are actually going to be stuck to each other.
[10:06.920 --> 10:13.720]  So they have a tongue and groove system where the key, or the pin on the top, it's kind of
[10:13.840 --> 10:19.640]  a dovetail. It has a little tongue sticking out and the pin, the key pin, has a groove that that
[10:19.640 --> 10:25.540]  fits in. And unless they're rotated to the proper position, they cannot separate and that lock will
[10:25.540 --> 10:32.080]  never open. I really wish these were still around, still being made. These are awesome locks.
[10:33.020 --> 10:36.360]  And there's a lot more information out there on them if you're interested.
[10:48.440 --> 10:52.700]  All right, so here, let's show this one real quick.
[10:52.700 --> 10:56.780]  This is another way of doing high security, a little different, just a little lower security.
[10:56.780 --> 10:59.840]  This is another one of those T-handle plug locks though.
[11:00.740 --> 11:08.900]  This is a van lock and this is basically just a tubular lock that has very difficult,
[11:09.860 --> 11:15.560]  it's very difficult to tension. The face is basically just flat and the key has these
[11:15.560 --> 11:21.860]  little pins that stick out of them. These aren't super high security and the plug is all brass,
[11:21.860 --> 11:26.480]  pins are steel, but the plug is all brass. So it makes drilling a little bit easier, but
[11:27.060 --> 11:32.800]  not super easy. These are usually used in like vending machines, anything that involves cash.
[11:32.800 --> 11:36.700]  They're not used as much as they used to, but they're still pretty cool.
[11:36.700 --> 11:39.020]  They're used in gas pumps, things like that.
[11:43.230 --> 11:46.570]  So another one of the big names in high security that you'll see
[11:47.450 --> 11:54.630]  is a company called Multilock. And Multilock is actually kind of a reinvention and a continuance
[11:54.630 --> 12:02.970]  of the Rav Barya company in Israel. Rav Barya meaning multi-bolt. But the Multilock, what they
[12:02.970 --> 12:10.970]  did is they took a standard pin tumbler lock and said, hey, let's put pins inside those pins.
[12:11.150 --> 12:16.210]  So if you look at this key here, you can see that each one of those pins,
[12:16.210 --> 12:22.610]  five pin, pin in pin, so it's 10 total. But if you look, you have an outer pin and an inner pin.
[12:23.150 --> 12:28.810]  So when picking this lock, you have to use a much smaller dimple flag, something that can
[12:28.810 --> 12:37.590]  get into those inner pins and pick them as well as setting the outer pins. And I've actually
[12:39.230 --> 12:44.190]  thinned out a pick. Let's see here. So this is one of the picks that I use
[12:44.830 --> 12:51.710]  when picking Multilocks or setting inner pins. I use a pretty wide variety of different picks
[12:51.710 --> 12:56.370]  for these things. And that's one thing about high security locks is you'll definitely get into
[12:56.370 --> 13:03.710]  making a lot of picks because you tend to not find all the tools that you need out there.
[13:05.690 --> 13:12.570]  But so this is a standard Multilock classic, which is just the standard pin in pin format
[13:12.570 --> 13:18.350]  where you have the five pin in pins. And if you're interested in these,
[13:18.350 --> 13:23.650]  they have been knocked off. A bunch of companies make cheaper ones. This is
[13:24.390 --> 13:30.290]  a company called Btech or Boldtech or I don't know the exact name. But this is a five pin,
[13:30.290 --> 13:34.250]  pin in pin, but there are no security pins, all standard. This is a very good entryway
[13:34.250 --> 13:38.590]  into picking Multilocks. And this was, I think it was like 15 bucks.
[13:40.070 --> 13:45.530]  But then Multilock wanted to innovate a bit further. The patent on the classic expired and
[13:47.150 --> 13:52.370]  to extend the patent, make it a little more difficult to copy the keys. What they did
[13:53.070 --> 13:57.470]  is involved what's called an interactive element. So this is the Multilock interactive.
[13:58.610 --> 14:07.430]  And this right here is a movable element in the key that when you insert the key in the lock,
[14:07.590 --> 14:12.770]  a portion or a little dimple in the bottom of the lock will actually lift that up and set the
[14:12.770 --> 14:18.770]  pin higher than the shear line. Now for key copying, that's very, it makes it a lot, very
[14:18.770 --> 14:24.650]  difficult, a lot more difficult. But for picking, it's actually makes it a little easier because
[14:24.650 --> 14:30.230]  you always know that that second pin is going to be set higher than the shear line or at the
[14:30.230 --> 14:35.510]  shear line, depending on the bidding. Got another classic here. And these tend to have some pretty
[14:35.510 --> 14:40.870]  extreme bidding sometimes as low as you can get followed by some as high as you can get in the
[14:40.870 --> 14:49.430]  back. But then Multilock does have an ultra high security variety that's called the MT5 Plus.
[14:49.430 --> 14:56.190]  They also have the MT5, which is like this except no slider track. But what this is,
[14:56.190 --> 15:03.590]  is this takes the five pin, pin in pin design, adds an interactive element as a sixth pin at
[15:03.590 --> 15:11.330]  the back here. And then it also has a slider track where five sliders need, they're unsprung,
[15:11.330 --> 15:17.170]  five unsprung sliders need to be moved into place to allow this lock to open.
[15:18.270 --> 15:21.870]  I'm actually looking at that, it looks like four, but I'm pretty sure it's five.
[15:22.950 --> 15:31.530]  So this is a very difficult lock to pick, something that maybe you will aspire to in the future.
[15:36.150 --> 15:46.070]  So other companies, like Sargent, decided to instead of doing multiple locking mechanisms in
[15:46.070 --> 15:51.210]  one, they said why don't we just add a bunch more pins into this lock and put three pin tumbler
[15:51.210 --> 16:00.070]  locks all around each other. So this lock here is a dimple lock, and it's actually got three rows
[16:00.070 --> 16:06.390]  of pins, two that come in at 90 degrees from the side here and one that comes in here directly at
[16:06.390 --> 16:11.770]  the top. So you can see that key has bidding on all three sides, and it's actually got it on all
[16:11.770 --> 16:20.450]  sides because it's a reversible key. This is called the Keyso, and these are incredibly difficult to
[16:20.450 --> 16:26.710]  pick, incredibly tight tolerances, very nice lock. This is, it looks like a strange format,
[16:26.710 --> 16:32.830]  this was actually their answer to interchangeable cores. I don't have one of the standard Keysos with
[16:32.830 --> 16:42.110]  me. So then this, this here is an actual Keyso. Keyso became a brand. I don't really know the
[16:42.110 --> 16:47.490]  history behind that, but if anyone feels like looking it up, they can. Keyso is part of the
[16:47.490 --> 16:54.670]  Assa Abla group. This is a 2000S, which means it has the Omega element, which is a different type
[16:54.670 --> 17:04.170]  of interactive element down here. So in addition to having bidding on all three sides of the key,
[17:04.170 --> 17:10.190]  this has a spring-loaded pin in the tip of the key. And what this does is it sets a pin inside
[17:10.190 --> 17:16.290]  the lock, but then when you turn the key, the pin actually pushes in here. And if you don't have that
[17:16.290 --> 17:22.010]  spring-loaded feature there, the lock won't open because that pin will get stuck on the side of
[17:22.010 --> 17:25.670]  the key, won't be able to move in, and it will prevent the lock from opening.
[17:27.610 --> 17:32.710]  Now these Keysos, the Keyso brand locks, are actually a little bit easier to pick
[17:32.710 --> 17:38.310]  than the Sargent Keysos I've found. Still not easy by any means though.
[17:40.070 --> 17:44.490]  So when you're talking about companies that put a lot of pins in things...
[17:45.310 --> 17:54.030]  um let's see here... so there we go. One of the companies that tends to come to mind is Kaba.
[17:54.030 --> 18:01.050]  Kaba is not part of the Assa Abloy group. Assa Abloy tends to own like most of the companies
[18:01.050 --> 18:07.550]  out there anymore, but Kaba is not part of that. This is what's called a Kaba 20,
[18:08.090 --> 18:13.050]  and this has the ability for 21 pins to be in this single lock here.
[18:13.050 --> 18:22.430]  This one I think has, let's see, 6, 6, and 4, so it would have 18... 16. So this one has 16 pins
[18:22.430 --> 18:31.210]  in it. Most of them have 18, 17, 16, something like that. Kaba tends to remove pins for master
[18:31.210 --> 18:38.330]  keying. It's interesting. But this lock here has four rows of pins. It has two rows coming in here
[18:39.010 --> 18:46.890]  at a 90 degree angle, and then two rows coming up at a diagonal at each side there. And those
[18:46.890 --> 18:52.610]  diagonal pins are actually very strange when you pick them. They feel kind of pillowy. It's an
[18:52.610 --> 19:06.540]  interesting feeling to pick them. You got to get used to it. So in terms of dimple locks,
[19:06.540 --> 19:17.880]  this is one that kind of took a... kind of made a lock all their own. It's called a Banham,
[19:17.880 --> 19:24.420]  and it's got two rows of pins, but there are no driver pins in this lock.
[19:26.360 --> 19:34.420]  And if you look at the key, this key actually has holes in it. And the reason for that
[19:35.140 --> 19:43.000]  is that the way this lock works is that the pins actually oppose each other. This is one of the
[19:43.000 --> 19:51.300]  cores. And you have a pin on this side and a pin on this side, and they touch each other.
[19:51.820 --> 19:56.260]  So when you move them this way, the pin on this side sticks out into the Bible.
[19:56.640 --> 20:00.200]  When you move them this way, the pin on this side sticks out into the Bible.
[20:00.200 --> 20:05.020]  So in picking this lock, basically what you have to do is get in there and move all the pins
[20:05.020 --> 20:10.640]  so that none of them are protruding out of the plug into the Bible, even though they're all
[20:10.640 --> 20:16.380]  touching inside, which makes it very difficult to get a pick in between them. You can kind of see
[20:16.380 --> 20:21.380]  there them sticking out into those chambers, and then when they all fall into the right spot,
[20:21.380 --> 20:27.260]  you can rotate the key. Now these are generally just found in England. You don't see them very
[20:27.260 --> 20:35.860]  much in the States, actually at all, unless it's a collector. But it's a very expensive lock.
[20:36.280 --> 20:43.040]  Very fun to pick, actually. But it's definitely something new to learn.
[20:46.240 --> 20:54.320]  So this here is another part of the Assa Abloy group. This is Zeiss Icon. This is a super cool
[20:54.320 --> 21:04.820]  lock. This is the WSW-W10. Now what these guys have done is kind of what a lock that I'm going
[21:04.820 --> 21:13.480]  to show you in a little bit also did, but they took sliders and integrated that in with a dimple lock.
[21:13.640 --> 21:20.020]  So on this lock here, you've got your six dimple pins that come in on the side of the key,
[21:20.020 --> 21:23.260]  but then you've also got your slider tracks on the side.
[21:24.260 --> 21:31.520]  So this lock has a total of 10 slider cuts on both sides,
[21:31.520 --> 21:35.740]  but there's actually only five to seven sliders in each of these.
[21:37.840 --> 21:47.850]  But let's see if we can get this open. This one's a little sticky. There we go.
[21:58.430 --> 22:04.510]  So you've got your dimple pins up there on top, and then you've got your sidebar here,
[22:05.630 --> 22:12.810]  and all your sliders there on the bottom. Now if you can see how that nub is only sticking
[22:12.810 --> 22:18.730]  out on that side, you could also have one that's on the other side, and that makes things like
[22:18.730 --> 22:25.850]  master keying a lot more approachable without having to add security vulnerabilities into the
[22:25.850 --> 22:32.050]  lock. So you can have multiple sliders that have different pegs on either side
[22:32.660 --> 22:39.670]  that allows you to use the same key. Now these sliders are incredibly difficult to pick.
[22:40.450 --> 22:46.990]  They have six false gates and one true gate, and those false gates are just absolutely tiny.
[22:47.370 --> 22:51.290]  So it makes determining between them... well, the true gate is also very tiny,
[22:51.290 --> 22:55.670]  so it makes deciphering which one you're picking very difficult.
[22:58.150 --> 23:13.580]  Let's get this guy back in his place here. There we go. And there are spool pins in the top of this.
[23:15.140 --> 23:20.360]  There we go. That sidebar doesn't like to go in. There we go.
[23:21.940 --> 23:25.920]  I think there are three spool pins generally up in the top of the bible,
[23:25.920 --> 23:32.540]  but the dimples are not the hard part to pick on this. The sidebar definitely is.
[23:35.700 --> 23:44.960]  Now in terms of sliders, the company that generally comes to mind is EVVA.
[23:45.700 --> 23:53.660]  They, again, are not a part of the Assa Abloy group. EVVA does incredible work with slider locks.
[23:55.080 --> 24:00.000]  They have a bunch of really neat ones out there. This one here is called the EVVA 3KS
[24:02.620 --> 24:13.260]  and this has 12 sliders in it. Each key has three tracks on the side. Those notches you
[24:13.260 --> 24:18.900]  see on the top are just a passive top bar for key control, but each of these sliders
[24:18.900 --> 24:25.340]  alternating inside has a different peg sticking out. Some just have a singular peg that goes into
[24:25.340 --> 24:31.720]  that deep track, and then others have parallel pegs that ride in those parallel tracks there.
[24:32.020 --> 24:37.620]  These are all unsprung sliders, which the key basically traps them, puts them in the right
[24:37.620 --> 24:43.320]  position, and allows the key to rotate. This is a strange format. It's a Japanese mortise cylinder.
[24:44.860 --> 24:48.800]  You can see here they have these little divots in the key, and what that's for
[24:48.800 --> 24:56.500]  is all high security locks have to be key retaining. So when you turn it, little pegs
[24:56.500 --> 25:01.360]  stick down into those divots and make it so that even in certain biddings that are kind of flat,
[25:01.360 --> 25:10.620]  the key cannot be retracted unless the lock is locked. Now what you see here is what's called
[25:10.780 --> 25:17.640]  a security card, and many high security locks will come with these cards that makes it so that
[25:17.640 --> 25:24.900]  you cannot get your key copied unless you have the proper security card. And this one I'm not
[25:24.900 --> 25:29.880]  really worried about because I'm not going to be using this so I can show you this, but if you take
[25:29.880 --> 25:38.720]  this card into a locksmith you can get the keys I just showed you reproduced. Sorry about huffing
[25:38.720 --> 25:43.880]  and puffing there, I'm kind of leaning over a desk here, but I'll have some whiskey and catch
[25:43.880 --> 26:02.500]  my breath real quick. Now this is not a super high security lock, but I wanted to show it anyway
[26:02.500 --> 26:07.760]  because it's really neat. It's got eight sliders in it, four on either side. Each one of them has
[26:07.900 --> 26:14.260]  a sidebar different on each side, and for some reason for the life of me I cannot get this thing
[26:14.260 --> 26:20.160]  open. And I swear it doesn't have false gates. I've only taken a couple of the sliders out, but
[26:20.160 --> 26:26.800]  I just get a really deep false set and it will not open up. I don't know why, but this is called
[26:27.080 --> 26:33.260]  a tray lock and I got this on ebay for I think 20 bucks or something like that. But great little
[26:33.260 --> 26:38.600]  lock, tons of fun to play with. If you're just getting started I wouldn't necessarily recommend
[26:38.600 --> 26:42.840]  going after this one, but if you do, more power to you.
[26:47.180 --> 26:53.180]  Now this is another pure slider lock. Let me see if I can find it here. There we go.
[26:54.000 --> 26:59.160]  Kind of like the EVA-3KS, it is springless. It doesn't have any springs in it. This is called
[26:59.160 --> 27:07.180]  the ASSA Desmo. This is obviously part of the ASSA ABLU group. Now what the Desmo is, is ASSA
[27:08.600 --> 27:13.600]  they make cam locks, they do padlocks, they have I think some oval cylinders,
[27:15.040 --> 27:17.220]  but this is meant for
[27:19.300 --> 27:27.180]  to basically to use where it's going to get a lot of use, maybe some dirt, not a lot of
[27:28.920 --> 27:34.120]  maintenance. It's supposed to be a very low maintenance lock. I found that a lot of these
[27:34.120 --> 27:38.860]  will actually jam up over time and makes it really hard to turn the key. I haven't figured
[27:38.860 --> 27:47.300]  out why, but I'm hoping they fixed it in the new Desmo Plus, but I'm not completely sure about that.
[27:47.800 --> 27:55.380]  Now this one here is an 8 slider Desmo. This has four sliders on either side that have a sidebar
[27:55.380 --> 28:02.520]  on both sides interacting. Each slider has two false gates and one true gate that are exactly
[28:02.520 --> 28:07.820]  the same width, just a different depth. Makes it a bit difficult to judge between them.
[28:08.660 --> 28:16.520]  These come in 6 and 8 slider variants. So we have a 6 slider Desmo here.
[28:16.800 --> 28:22.260]  This actually doesn't have anything in it, so I can just pop it apart and show you.
[28:23.080 --> 28:27.600]  Now these also, if you look at that key, you might notice that cutout,
[28:27.600 --> 28:34.780]  and that is your key retaining feature on these guys. So when you put the key in and turn it,
[28:35.040 --> 28:41.800]  a lot like the 3KS, this has little T-pins that push in and trap that key in there,
[28:41.800 --> 28:51.540]  so you can't remove it when the lock is open. So this is the Desmo's sidebar here. Let me get one
[28:51.540 --> 29:02.920]  out. So it's just got that little teeny shelf there that fits into the side of these pins.
[29:08.060 --> 29:16.300]  So that there is a Desmo pin. And you see it's got the two false gates and the one true gate.
[29:16.880 --> 29:21.600]  And that sidebar slides into that true gate and that allows it to retract.
[29:25.140 --> 29:30.000]  So these are the T-pins and springs that I talked about that actually go in and trap the key in
[29:30.000 --> 29:34.980]  place. So you can see a couple in there that the springs are wrapped around. The spring goes inside
[29:34.980 --> 29:40.160]  the T-pin and that's also what pushes the sidebar back. You can see that's where it goes right there
[29:40.160 --> 29:59.300]  in the sidebar channel. So ASSA, the Desmo, is kind of like the sidebar to the ASSA Twin.
[30:00.660 --> 30:06.440]  This was ASSA's, not their first step into high security, but definitely their first step into
[30:06.440 --> 30:15.060]  ultra high security. The ASSA Twin was, I think, the first patent, maybe not the first, but the
[30:15.060 --> 30:20.900]  first sidebar patent by Bo Wieden or Boveden, depending on where you are, how you pronounce
[30:20.900 --> 30:31.400]  things. He also, I think, is responsible for the patent on that WSWW-10 I showed you a few minutes
[30:31.400 --> 30:40.400]  ago. So the ASSA Twin, basically what they did here, is they took a standard pin tumbler lock
[30:41.060 --> 30:48.080]  and then put a slider lock on the side. Now this is kind of like, the pins are kind of like the
[30:48.080 --> 30:58.000]  Desmo, except without this part here, you just have that there, except it extends this way. So
[30:58.000 --> 31:03.740]  you have two false gates on either side of the true gate, and the bidding is actually on the
[31:03.740 --> 31:08.840]  sidebar itself. So the shelves in the sidebar will be at different heights depending on the bidding
[31:08.840 --> 31:17.460]  of the key. This one has the original gin bottle shaped spools, which is definitely one of, I would
[31:17.460 --> 31:24.160]  say, the hardest locks to pick I've ever encountered. This is an incredible lock and definitely something
[31:24.160 --> 31:36.560]  to aspire to. They also generally have pretty insane bidding also. So the ASSA Twin's been
[31:36.560 --> 31:42.780]  upgraded a few times. The patent expired and they put out different features. There's one called the
[31:42.780 --> 31:50.440]  V10 that has the same ideas as the WSW to where it'll have a peg on one side or the other, and
[31:50.440 --> 31:57.720]  you have 10 tracks that can raise them to different levels. And the last rendition is this here, well
[31:57.720 --> 32:04.660]  actually not the last, I think the DP is the last, but this is the ASSA Twin Combi. Now what this is
[32:04.660 --> 32:11.320]  is basically the same deal, except the sidebar pins, not only do they have to be lifted, or the
[32:11.320 --> 32:17.760]  finger pins on the sidebar, but they also have to be rotated to the correct position. So this lock
[32:17.760 --> 32:26.380]  is kind of like having a 6-pin ASSA with a Medeco on the side. These are incredibly difficult to
[32:26.380 --> 32:31.640]  pick. I've never actually gotten a Combi open yet, one of the few locks that I have that I've not
[32:31.640 --> 32:40.780]  been able to get open. These things are incredible. It's an amazing work of mechanics. I'm very
[32:40.780 --> 32:51.540]  impressed with the way they did this. This here is just a double Euro of the Combi.
[32:52.260 --> 33:00.160]  Another example of their incredible bidding. And you can see those sidebar are kind of sweeping.
[33:00.520 --> 33:04.320]  They're not directly up and down to set just vertical height,
[33:04.320 --> 33:08.880]  but they also kind of sweep to set those horizontally also.
[33:11.120 --> 33:13.040]  Rotationally I should say.
[33:16.000 --> 33:24.120]  Now while I'm showing ASSA, I guess I'll show this guy here. This has an ASSA core in it.
[33:24.420 --> 33:28.720]  This is what's called a mogul cylinder. These are used in prisons.
[33:30.040 --> 33:34.640]  As you can see, it is much bigger than your standard mortar cylinder,
[33:35.820 --> 33:41.040]  and obviously that'll make it a lot tougher. These are made of, I think, case-hardened steel.
[33:41.040 --> 33:44.780]  Might be full-hardened steel. I'm not completely sure about that.
[33:44.780 --> 33:50.100]  But this is actually replacing another lock that was basically just a beefed-up mortar cylinder.
[33:50.100 --> 33:56.080]  This big, but just five standard pins and some couple spools, things like that.
[33:56.140 --> 34:03.620]  But this incorporates that ASSA twin. It's the ASSA twin 6000. This is the 851 keyway.
[34:04.380 --> 34:11.020]  But it puts the ASSA twin 6000 into that gigantic form factor for prisons.
[34:12.620 --> 34:21.260]  And while I'm showing you that, prisons also use lever locks. This is a lever lock key from a prison.
[34:22.180 --> 34:25.500]  I don't have a lock to show you, unfortunately, but
[34:26.020 --> 34:31.200]  I don't know why, but everything in a prison is bigger. Well, I do know why. It's to
[34:31.200 --> 34:36.220]  make them a lot tougher, but I think these are pretty cool. I'd like to get one of these soon.
[34:39.340 --> 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.
[34:49.040 --> 34:56.660]  Now, this is not nearly as difficult to pick as the ASSA twin line, but it's the same concept.
[34:57.460 --> 35:05.680]  So, you have basically a Schlage lock with a Medeco on the side. Same deal as the Combi.
[35:06.220 --> 35:12.640]  Where you have those sweeping sidebar fingers that need to be lifted and rotated to the same height.
[35:12.640 --> 35:14.760]  Or not to the same height, to different heights, I'm sorry.
[35:16.760 --> 35:24.100]  But this is Schlage's entry into the high security game. These are incredibly neat.
[35:24.100 --> 35:27.840]  I actually had to make a pick. And actually, while I'm at it, let me show you these real quick.
[35:33.950 --> 35:41.030]  So, this is my ASSA twin Combi pick. One of the ones I use. I don't know if you can see that.
[35:43.990 --> 35:52.630]  So, you can see that little U-shape in there. And that's to actually hook into and lift up those finger pins and also be able to rotate them.
[35:53.050 --> 36:03.970]  So, I think this is the one I used for the Primus. Oh, no. Actually, it was this one. I'm sorry.
[36:03.970 --> 36:15.130]  Goes the other direction. But if you get into high security locks, you'll definitely end up making a lot of your own tools, like I said earlier.
[36:15.950 --> 36:20.790]  But this here is my Primus pick for the sidebar pins.
[36:30.950 --> 36:39.870]  All right. Oh, I didn't show this earlier. So, another lock that decided to take high pin counts
[36:39.870 --> 36:48.770]  and take it to the extreme. This is the Maurer Crypto. Looks a little weird because I happened to
[36:49.830 --> 36:55.490]  brick it while I was trying to take it apart at one point, but I will fix that eventually.
[36:56.090 --> 37:03.270]  This actually has 18 standard pins, or 18 pins. It's got 6 on the side.
[37:03.990 --> 37:11.990]  6. So, here. We got 6 coming down from here, 6 coming up from here, and then another 6 going
[37:11.990 --> 37:18.890]  in this way at the corner. These pins are very tightly packed in there. It's really
[37:18.890 --> 37:25.170]  hard to get in there with any tool to pick them individually without oversetting others.
[37:25.750 --> 37:31.390]  This is a super neat lock, but another incredibly difficult one.
[37:33.270 --> 37:36.810]  But that's more in tune with the Cabas, things like that.
[37:39.610 --> 37:48.010]  So, the Australians, when they got into high security, they decided to create this guy here.
[37:48.450 --> 37:53.270]  It's called the Bi-Lock. So, instead of saying, let's just take one key and put a bunch of pins
[37:53.270 --> 37:58.550]  on it, they said, hey, let's put two locks side by side. So, you can see this looks like literally
[37:58.550 --> 38:05.290]  two keys just glued together. There's different bidding on either side.
[38:06.070 --> 38:11.910]  And this is not a standard pin tumbler, both. What this is, is it's more like that Medeco cam
[38:11.910 --> 38:19.010]  lock, to where you have 12 pins, and they're lifted, but there's things in there that prevent
[38:19.010 --> 38:24.650]  them from rotating. But they do have a hole in the side, and that side bar, or both the side
[38:24.650 --> 38:29.250]  bars, have little fingers that stick out and stick into the holes in the side of those pins.
[38:30.190 --> 38:37.050]  They will have false gates, false notches, false whatever you want to call it, and true.
[38:38.290 --> 38:50.950]  Doesn't like to... I'll fix that. But basically, it is two Medeco locks side by side,
[38:50.950 --> 39:11.190]  without the rotation. And, oh, I guess... I forgot that I can just take this guy apart for you.
[39:13.090 --> 39:23.210]  There we go. So, there are our side bars, and that is kind of what the pins look like there.
[39:23.370 --> 39:28.470]  They have that point, but unlike the Medeco, these aren't angled.
[39:33.410 --> 39:40.890]  And let's go ahead and see if I can pop one of these side bars out. There we go.
[39:41.570 --> 39:44.750]  So the side bar's got those fingers that stick out of it,
[39:44.750 --> 39:47.830]  which sticks into the holes in the sides of the pins.
[39:52.170 --> 40:02.780]  Definitely a neat idea. All right, let's get this guy back together there.
[40:07.720 --> 40:10.620]  Oh, that's right. Another thing I wanted to mention about this,
[40:10.620 --> 40:17.780]  since it's not a standard pin tumbler, by-locks don't have to worry about max. So,
[40:17.780 --> 40:23.420]  you can see here, this goes from the lowest possible to the highest possible, to the lowest
[40:23.420 --> 40:30.420]  possible, to the highest possible, lowest possible, highest possible. So, there's no
[40:30.420 --> 40:36.200]  maximum adjacent cut specification for these. So, trying to get your pick under that lowest
[40:36.200 --> 40:45.290]  possible to pick that highest is incredibly difficult. There are a couple other high
[40:45.290 --> 40:49.770]  security cam locks that I don't consider very high security, but they're still kind of neat,
[40:49.770 --> 40:56.250]  and kind of an entry level into high security. This guy here is called a bell lock. This is
[40:56.250 --> 41:01.990]  actually what they use in parking meters. I can pop this apart for you real quick.
[41:04.690 --> 41:11.450]  So, this guy basically is like a split wafer lock, where you have half wafers that pick up
[41:11.450 --> 41:16.170]  and down in different directions, and they basically fit into these channels here. But
[41:16.170 --> 41:26.310]  this is more like a wafer lock. Not very easy to pick, but not incredibly hard either. Definitely
[41:26.510 --> 41:32.910]  a fun one to get started. And then another high security wafer lock here, this is called the
[41:32.910 --> 41:41.290]  Chicago Duo. So, what they did here is they took your standard wafer lock that has cutting on the
[41:41.290 --> 41:48.190]  top and the bottom, and they added a side track here that sets four more wafers. So, this thing
[41:48.190 --> 41:54.950]  I think has like 14 wafers in it. Maybe a couple more. I think it's 14. It's also got profile
[41:54.950 --> 41:59.050]  wafers. There's a lot going on in there. It's pretty difficult to figure out where you're at,
[41:59.050 --> 42:03.450]  but not the hardest thing in the world. Pretty neat lock though.
[42:07.070 --> 42:14.410]  Alright, so this guy here, another high security lock. This is not very high security in terms of
[42:14.410 --> 42:21.990]  picking, although it's not easy to pick. It only has three rotating discs inside of it,
[42:21.990 --> 42:27.930]  but this is definitely made to withstand the elements and be incredibly beefy.
[42:29.050 --> 42:33.570]  This is called the Sergeant & Greenleaf Environmental Padlock. So, it was originally
[42:33.570 --> 42:39.050]  designed for the railroads, who had problems with their locks freezing up and seizing because of
[42:39.050 --> 42:45.790]  dirt and grime, and also had a lot of vandalism. So, they reached out to the Sergeant & Greenleaf
[42:45.790 --> 42:51.830]  Company, who designed this lock for them. And these are pretty cool. They're kind of antique,
[42:51.830 --> 42:57.550]  so if you find one, I'd suggest holding on to it. If you can get one with a key, that's even better.
[42:57.550 --> 43:04.230]  But the military also used these for some of their warehouses and other things like that.
[43:04.970 --> 43:10.950]  Now, in terms of disc detainer locks, Abloy is definitely going to be your quintessential
[43:11.510 --> 43:16.690]  high security disc detainer lock. And I'll show you those in a second.
[43:16.690 --> 43:20.730]  But you've got a couple other contenders here. This is a company called Takigen,
[43:22.330 --> 43:25.330]  and I'll be showing you another one of their locks in a few minutes.
[43:25.330 --> 43:30.750]  Um, it's a company out of Japan that makes manufacturing parts, industrial parts,
[43:30.750 --> 43:35.870]  all sorts of stuff. This is their disc detainer lock. This is their actually lower security
[43:35.870 --> 43:41.690]  variety, but they have higher security ones. But this is not going to look like your standard disc
[43:41.690 --> 43:48.850]  detainer key. And that thin curved keyway makes it so that all of your standard store-buyable
[43:48.850 --> 43:54.810]  disc detainer locks don't fit. You gotta make your own. And disc detainer locks is definitely
[43:54.810 --> 44:01.370]  going to be where you're making your own tools more than anything else. I've had to make all of
[44:01.370 --> 44:06.050]  those to pick different locks. Each one of them was designed for a specific lock. This one was
[44:06.050 --> 44:19.530]  for the Takigen. This is actually for an Anchor Lass, which is this guy right here. This is your
[44:19.530 --> 44:26.090]  security card for the Anchor Lass. And this is one of the very few disc detainer locks you'll
[44:26.090 --> 44:32.110]  find that only has bidding on one side of the key. And you have to put this key in a very specific
[44:32.110 --> 44:38.150]  way. It'll only go in one way. And then you rotate all those discs to the right spot and it'll open
[44:38.150 --> 44:51.030]  right up. But, like I mentioned before, the quintessential high security disc detainer lock
[44:51.030 --> 44:59.070]  is going to be your Abloy. This is the Abloy Classic. It's got a half moon looking key that
[44:59.070 --> 45:04.350]  again has bidding only on one side of the key. Which means the key can only go in one way but
[45:04.350 --> 45:11.250]  it's obvious by the half moon there. And same deal, when you rotate the key it's got to rotate
[45:11.430 --> 45:16.450]  a full 90 degrees to set all the discs into place and then rotate the rest of the way.
[45:17.210 --> 45:22.110]  Now this is the Abloy Classic. Basically their lowest security lock.
[45:22.270 --> 45:31.570]  They've got a ton of other ones. This is the Disc Lock Pro which has bidding on both sides of the
[45:31.570 --> 45:38.190]  key which allows you to actually turn this either way and it's got a few other features in there
[45:38.190 --> 45:44.350]  that allow that to happen. Most of them will just be reversible so you can open it by putting it in
[45:44.350 --> 45:51.270]  either way. But this also has a disc locking system. The little ball there is actually a ball
[45:51.270 --> 45:55.230]  bearing or little divot there is a ball bearing inside of there that will not allow any of these
[45:55.230 --> 46:03.150]  discs to turn until that ball bearing has been depressed. That is an anti-pick feature and also
[46:03.150 --> 46:08.550]  it makes it so that you can't damage it by rotating some discs out of order and things like that.
[46:09.110 --> 46:15.530]  Abloy has even higher security varieties like the Pro-Tech 1, Pro-Tech 2,
[46:15.530 --> 46:21.370]  things like that but I don't have examples of those unfortunately.
[46:24.250 --> 46:31.230]  All right so this is the other Takigen lock that I wanted to show you.
[46:31.230 --> 46:38.390]  Next couple locks I'm going to show are Japanese high security locks and the Japanese kind of
[46:38.390 --> 46:42.150]  tend to go all out on their high security locks. They go pretty crazy
[46:43.810 --> 46:50.550]  and they're really cool locks generally. So this is... I don't know the name of this to be honest.
[46:50.550 --> 46:59.150]  It comes out of a piece of equipment that I work on. It is a parking in-lane pay station
[47:01.210 --> 47:08.230]  so this basically protects cash and credit card data and things like that. But this kind
[47:08.230 --> 47:15.590]  takes high security to another level. This thing is both high security in that
[47:16.480 --> 47:21.610]  it is very hard to pick. I think this is an 11 pin. Yeah, it's an 11 pin lock
[47:22.750 --> 47:32.370]  where you can see in there. Yeah, so there are five or six. I think it's five pins coming in from
[47:32.370 --> 47:40.190]  the left side and then another six coming in from the top right at a 45 degree angle and they kind
[47:40.190 --> 47:47.130]  of intersect like this. So it's incredibly difficult to get in there and pick pins without
[47:47.130 --> 47:52.970]  oversetting other ones. Not only that, but you have to get tools in here. And as I'll demonstrate
[47:52.970 --> 48:00.270]  with these tweezers, it's a little big. Actually I can do it a little better with a pick. So trying
[48:00.270 --> 48:04.530]  to get a pick in there to actually pick this thing, you have to make specialty tools to get
[48:04.530 --> 48:11.050]  in there. But not only is it difficult to pick, but it's also very physically secure.
[48:12.050 --> 48:21.650]  This thing is made out of some pretty hefty materials. Let's see, so it's got
[48:22.850 --> 48:25.390]  this gigantic cam on the back.
[48:27.030 --> 48:31.670]  And not only do you have to defeat one, but you actually have to defeat two of these.
[48:32.490 --> 48:35.550]  So you got one on the top and one on the bottom.
[48:36.430 --> 48:40.910]  But this is actually one of my favorite locks in my collection. I love this thing.
[48:41.290 --> 48:47.810]  It's a hell of a challenge. All right, so another Japanese high security lock company
[48:47.810 --> 48:53.870]  is Miwa. And Miwa makes some really awesome locks. One thing I haven't talked about yet
[48:53.870 --> 49:00.090]  is magnetic locks. So this is a Miwa magnetic lock that actually goes to the
[49:00.090 --> 49:05.490]  Sega arcade cabinets, the old Sega arcade cabinets. They call them a candy cabinet.
[49:06.210 --> 49:16.490]  And this is actually a kind of a dumbed down version of the Miwa 3800, which has dimple
[49:16.490 --> 49:22.830]  pins up top and then four magnetic sliders internally. This one only has three magnetic
[49:22.830 --> 49:29.230]  sliders, two that come from the left and one that comes from the right. And they're stepped,
[49:29.230 --> 49:34.610]  so you have to pick each one of them a couple times. Definitely not an easy task. You need
[49:34.730 --> 49:39.750]  a magnetic pick and basically you pick this thing by sound. So you gotta listen to what
[49:39.750 --> 49:46.170]  pins are binding, which ones are not. You attack the one that's binding and make it jiggle.
[49:46.810 --> 49:51.470]  And that's actually how you pick most of these locks is by doing what's called the jiggle test.
[49:52.970 --> 49:58.990]  Actually, let me show you here with this Desmo sidebar. So when picking a lot of these locks,
[49:58.990 --> 50:06.850]  if they have multiple locking mechanisms in them, you can usually isolate. So with the Medeco,
[50:07.370 --> 50:12.790]  and Medeco is one of the few ones that you can actually choose what binds first. With the Medeco,
[50:12.790 --> 50:20.290]  you tension it clockwise, the driver pins will bind first. And if you tension it counterclockwise,
[50:20.290 --> 50:26.690]  the sidebar will bind first. So you tension it clockwise, pick all the top pins to shear,
[50:26.690 --> 50:31.110]  and then the sidebar will engage. And then you worry about rotation of the pins.
[50:31.650 --> 50:36.970]  And whenever you're dealing with a sidebar with gates, something that doesn't involve driver pins,
[50:36.970 --> 50:41.790]  you're going to do what's called the jiggle test. So you're going to go through the lock
[50:41.790 --> 50:50.610]  and set these to either a false gate or a true gate. And then you're going to tap each one with
[50:50.610 --> 50:56.250]  your pick and see if it jiggles. Because if you see, there's barely any room, but there's just
[50:56.250 --> 51:01.130]  enough room for this thing to move around a little bit. So when you tap it with your pick,
[51:01.130 --> 51:07.210]  you'll actually feel it jiggle. So when you're binding in a false gate, eventually that will
[51:07.210 --> 51:12.630]  stop any rotation or any jiggle because you're putting pressure on it. But when you get to the
[51:12.630 --> 51:18.070]  true gate, it will always jiggle in the true gate. So that's actually how we pick the majority of
[51:18.070 --> 51:24.890]  these locks is by what's called the jiggle test. So let me show you here another lock from Miwa.
[51:24.930 --> 51:35.350]  This is a really cool lock. This is the Miwa PR. And this is actually rotating wafers in there.
[51:35.350 --> 51:43.410]  Looks like a regular dimple lock, but it's not. There are wafers that are pivoted on a shared
[51:43.410 --> 51:49.810]  hinge on the top. And they're like crescent shaped and they pivot in the sidebar and the
[51:49.810 --> 51:55.350]  gates are in the bottom. So the sidebar pushes in, it pivots till it hits the right gate and
[51:55.350 --> 52:01.810]  the sidebar drops in. Now these have 10 and 11 wafers, depending on if they're master keyed or
[52:01.810 --> 52:10.830]  not. And they also have false gates and serrations on those wafers that make them, it just gives you
[52:11.050 --> 52:16.190]  a lot of different feedback in there. So trying to find yourself into a true gate, not the easiest
[52:16.190 --> 52:21.910]  thing in the world, but it's definitely doable. Also that keyway definitely restricts your movement
[52:21.910 --> 52:30.150]  in there. So you got to find a pick that pretty perfectly fits under certain, under the wafers
[52:30.150 --> 52:36.030]  without over setting them. Because if you look right here, see there's three dimples right here,
[52:36.030 --> 52:43.110]  but there's actually four wafers right there. So that spot there is a max lift wafer. So that's
[52:43.110 --> 52:50.910]  got to go all the way to the top. And then this one here is almost a zero lift wafer. So you got
[52:50.910 --> 52:56.850]  to get underneath that one and set that one as high as it can possibly go. So there's a lot of
[52:57.850 --> 53:03.490]  difficult navigation you got to do in this thing. Makes picking these very interesting. But
[53:03.490 --> 53:11.410]  they're tons of fun. Miwa makes actually a few locks on this rotating wafer design. The U9 is
[53:11.410 --> 53:16.630]  one that the key looks different. It actually looks more like an Ingersoll key where it
[53:16.630 --> 53:20.510]  doesn't have dimples. It's actually got cuts on the key on both sides.
[53:22.030 --> 53:28.150]  But yeah, so the Japanese make some crazy, crazy high security locks.
[53:32.820 --> 53:40.340]  So now you can have high security lever locks as well. And in safe deposit boxes, instead of saying
[53:40.340 --> 53:45.600]  hey let's put two locks into one, they literally said hey let's take two locks and put them into
[53:45.600 --> 53:55.340]  one. So this here is a Sargent and Greenleaf version. This is the 4440. This is a Sargent and
[53:55.340 --> 54:04.820]  Greenleaf safe deposit lock. This here is the Mauer Mosler 5700 safe deposit box lock. Now this
[54:04.820 --> 54:12.560]  is what's called a dual custody lock where two people will need to have a key. And this is what's
[54:12.560 --> 54:19.780]  called the guard key and this is the user key. So you have to insert the guard key first to activate
[54:19.780 --> 54:25.920]  the user key. And this one actually doesn't turn all the way until I turn the guard key a little
[54:25.920 --> 54:33.680]  more. There we go. So basically what this allows the bank to do is when you come in, they'll put
[54:33.680 --> 54:41.100]  in their guard key, turn it, you then put in your user key, turn it, they can then remove their guard key
[54:42.560 --> 54:47.220]  and leave you to do your thing. And then when you're ready to go you re-lock it with your user key
[54:48.080 --> 54:56.680]  and get out of there. So those are just standard lever locks. They generally have false gates but
[54:56.680 --> 55:04.620]  some of them don't. Actually I think that Mosler has serrations that the the fence and the gate
[55:04.620 --> 55:11.400]  fit into. So you'll have a serrated fence and it'll lock into serrations when you try to move it into
[55:11.400 --> 55:19.760]  place. So other high security lever locks that I'm a little bit more familiar with are here.
[55:19.760 --> 55:31.440]  These are payphone locks. So this here is the Western Electric 29A. This is a five lever lock
[55:34.620 --> 55:37.960]  that protects the electronics portion of the payphone.
[55:38.640 --> 55:44.840]  And you see that split in the key there and what that is is a blocking plate that sits in between
[55:44.840 --> 55:49.480]  the three levers in the back and the two in the front which makes it very difficult to get to
[55:49.480 --> 55:55.280]  those back levers. Not the hardest thing to pick but you definitely got to get used to it and get
[55:55.280 --> 56:03.980]  your technique down to get that open. This here is Northern Electric. It's a Canadian company.
[56:04.520 --> 56:13.220]  The coin vault lock for theirs which is actually a pretty similar to the 29 where it's got a
[56:13.220 --> 56:21.980]  divider in there but this one the actuator is separated from the plug so when you turn the plug
[56:21.980 --> 56:28.160]  the actuator doesn't turn until the plug is about here and then by the time you get a pick in there
[56:28.160 --> 56:33.320]  you get stuck because I'll do another video on this in the future but it's very difficult to
[56:34.080 --> 56:45.660]  Now this is one of my favorite locks in the world, and one of the reasons for that is because I am the only person in history to pick this lock on video.
[56:45.660 --> 56:49.780]  Or actually to pick this lock in any sort of documented fashion.
[56:51.020 --> 56:58.620]  I'm going to be doing a video on this lock only, also for DEF CON, which will air tomorrow.
[56:58.620 --> 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.
[57:06.960 --> 57:09.840]  And this is the Western Electric 30C.
[57:10.040 --> 57:15.820]  So this lock, until I picked it, was considered unpickable, and unpicked.
[57:16.460 --> 57:24.040]  Basically, what this lock has is, not only does it have 8 levers, all with false gates,
[57:24.040 --> 57:28.880]  but it also has a blocker mechanism, that when you turn the key to this point,
[57:28.880 --> 57:36.900]  that blocker mechanism moves in and locks all the levers in place before the fence ever gets to the gates.
[57:37.320 --> 57:43.200]  So when trying to pick locks, generally what you do is put tension on them, which will bind something up,
[57:43.200 --> 57:47.540]  so then you can then move them and find where they need to be.
[57:47.700 --> 57:52.600]  But this one, before anything binds, they're all locked into place.
[57:52.600 --> 57:56.900]  So I had to figure out a very special way of picking this.
[57:57.720 --> 58:02.080]  And I did, and actually you'll probably be underwhelmed when you figure out what I did,
[58:02.080 --> 58:06.640]  but if you feel like checking it out, it'll be on tomorrow.
[58:07.040 --> 58:09.860]  But yeah, so that's about it.
[58:10.900 --> 58:14.720]  High security locks are kind of my passion, if you couldn't tell.
[58:15.100 --> 58:16.580]  I love everything about them.
[58:16.580 --> 58:22.820]  I do have a YouTube channel. It is very difficult to find. It is just a nothing symbol.
[58:23.540 --> 58:29.720]  But if you look on YouTube and search Western Electric 30C, you will find it.
[58:30.300 --> 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.
[58:38.120 --> 58:42.220]  And picking them, taking them apart, talking about them, things like that.
[58:43.460 --> 58:46.000]  Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed that.
[58:46.700 --> 58:50.800]  Sorry if it was a bit rusty and rough at first, but it is what it is.
[58:50.820 --> 58:55.500]  I appreciate you all. Take care. Stay safe. Thank you very much.
