@ Bosnianbill i am glad to see my lock finally make it up here :) and i am sorry if you got frustrated with it. That was not my intention. i have a long way to go in modifying locks to operate cleaner. In the future i hope to send you some locks with different modifications. I have learned alot about locks thanks to you and your channel. Keep up the good work and i look forward to seeing more.
You knew that thing was wicked with all the slop in that core side to side, and even some fore and aft! Valiant attempt Bill, thanks as always for the video, and all the work that goes into them!
Yeah, picking of of them open is more a function of luck than skill. With 4 trap pins & 3 positions on each, the number of combinations is 64. When you factor in the additional two pins with 2 positions each, the number of possible combinations is way up there. You'd eventually get it, but it would take more than 30 minutes...
@@bosnianbill I kind of think it's time to not allow trap / false trap pin locks anymore for challenges. You have been whipped by every single one that you tried to pick, and they are trivial for lockmakers to make. The locks are evolving a resistance to picking just like bacteria evolve resistance to antibiotics. The new "false trap" feature makes for a good lock but an impossible challenge.
@@thorlancaster5641 I'm starting to agree with you, but for a different reason: Everyone is getting tired of seeing the same old thing, over and over. The first time we saw this type of trap it was cool and innovative. After that, it became a copycat design as some guys saw an easy way to get a paclock. Maybe it is time I started filtering out these type of locks... Opinions?
@@bosnianbill I agree, the innovative lock designs should be about discovering new ways how to make locks safe. And if you are unable to get around undercut traps, then until you manage to find your way around them there is no challenge in making locks with such design. It is like sending levered lock to someone who does not have the tools/knowledge to pick them. It would be more interesting to see other ways how to secure locks against lock pickers.
WOW! Some real cheeky work there on that lock. Lots of sneaky traps. What about light tension and a good raking? If it doesn't open then start spp. If it still doesn't open move back to raking.
Wonder if you could have reverse picked that one, push all pins to the top (overset) and rake them back down. If the front pins rake down last, you might get lucky.
bmitch3020 - Great idea, I would like to see that tried. Might be difficult to rake down, judging by the pin variances, but you never know. Like you said, you might get lucky.
Hey Bill, is it possible to counter-clockwise, for a deep false set, then use one of your spinners to flip it over, and do the rest clock-wise? Seems like some parts of the lock were easier counter-clockwise, but you ended up with 2-3 pins just alternating dropping down at the end, there. Might have worked better with those last pins clockwise?
Personally? I think you should ALWAYS pick clockwise. Amti clockwise nullifies the pick (IMHO) I prefer to pick a lock as if theyre set within a door foe example. You cant open a door by picking a lock anti clockwise unless its a padlock onother similaur. Certaibly no euro lock anyway. Just wanted to throw that thought t you Bill.
Jerbil Konai You guys ever see the video where he explained how he got his nickname? In the Balkans, stationed there, he was the only one who spoke with the Bosnians, so he got called BosnianBill. So he obviously have been learning some European languages, makes sense that his pronunciation is pretty good.😉
Some day I'll get around to making a challenge lock. Thin-waisted spools and undercuts/cross cuts. 4 pins done right, and I really question if such a lock would be physically possible to pick. Would love to have the time to so it right and have both you and LPL try them. Also another stupid simple idea floating around that I shan't share. Ah, some day.
When you talk about a pin giving counter rotation... is that an indication you are on the correct pin or is it a bad thing? Sorry if it’s a dumb question I am new to this. Love the videos 👍
@@alucard0100 , another great trick is to use rotary dental tools in a Dremel. Makes for really deep cuts & very sharp edges. Many dental offices have to throw them away if their package is damaged or past the expiration date. 😉
Wolfhound this lock is definitely pickable, and if you fall into a trap you can get out of it by resetting. Knowing how the lock is designed, I am willing to bet Bill would get in on the first try. Overset the key pins and rake them down would be my first attack knowing the design now. To qualify as a valid challenge lock for Bill the lock must open with the key and you have to be able to get out of traps. The problem when it came up was keys being cut so deep they went into the bow of the key so it was impossible to get to the pin without oversetting the previous pin. This design was determined to be ok but discouraged because its not original, anyone could do it and it will stifle innovation.
@@rileyfenley522 When trap pins set, the first click that you feel is the trap pin setting. You would have to intentionally overset the pin to get it to set at the non-trap shear line, and in the process you would probably some other trap pins (which would still feel set). Bill would stand a better chance against a n-disc Abloy than an n-pin trap lock.
I believe the difference between this lock and the one that made Bill suggest the "no trap locks" was the fact that this lock was infinitely resettable, whereas the annoying lock was designed such that getting caught in a trap prevented continuation of the challenge.
I’m really not sure what I think of challenge locks these days... I mean, realistically who would be walking up to that lock and open it in 30 minutes. You’d have to get lottery lucky. Most other channels don’t even show a challenge lock until they’ve picked it a few times. Maybe whipped is an unfair title...
Matt, I generally just give away all the locks that flow through the LockLab and don't really have anything to trade. The only locks I keep are the ones haven't figured out how to pick and they live in my naughty bucket.
Ok no problem is there anyway you can tell me what the top lock is for I only have the key for the bottom lock and it opens the box so I’m not sure what the top lock does?

Better call a lawyer?
Excellent core,Awesome pins, great try Mr. Bill
yay finally get to see my lock :D
6:40 Always sucks when you get denied access to the rear, isn't it, Bill...😉
Soon your "naughty bucket" will be filled with tricked out, zoomed up, super locks Bill!
Happy new year everyone!
That was definitely a tough one my friend I apologise for the lateness of the lock I'm sending you will be sending you soon👍😊👍😊😎👌
On a whipped roll lately Bill.😁 Those undercut relief traps worked really well.🍺😎

Alucard? No wonder you couldn't open it-you have needed a wooden stake and some very bad-ass vampire hunting skills to open it 😎
The Liar’s trap, not The Lair’s 😂 15:38 for reference
Lair? I see LIAR on the paper.
it is Liar lol
I had a nice tough Bill Bacardi challenge lock similar to that one. #30, I believe it was.
Like your videos but raking and bypass videos are my favorite.
Good show. It had me suspended like Hitchcock's movies.
I think traps are the only way to deal with lock pickers, I am surprised they are not widely used on commercial locks
Zwei... Drei... Vier... 😮😊

Bill is counting in german. Haha. Man u r great. Happy new year from germany.
I was completely surprised as well! But compared to most other Americans he has almost no accent at all!
Yoo Loo I've heard him speak a bit of German before, his accent is very slight, sounds more German than American. Impressive!😉
I think he was a few years in germany with army or airforce. And also cause he traveled much over the last years. Thats how he learned so well.

So annoying but a good fight !
nice traps
thank you :)
how many pinning trays do you own?
Allan S I've seen 6-7 so far, I think he gives ones away regularly too, so... a lot?😂
Any commercial locks using this technology?
Wow that is nasty
I cant't be the only one noticing the German counting at 16:52...
Ever use a rake like a single pin pick? Sometimes I bitch pick them with a rake and get lucky. Great attempt Bill

Love the videos 👍
It is a GOOD thing, and here's a video showing why: th-cam.com/video/d3H2rK-3FaQ/w-d-xo.html
How come you didn't verify that the key works with the springs in?
Exactly HOW were those slashers done? (U.K.)
I used a dremel with a cutoff wheel

not certain if he is referencing it but whenever I hear the name alucard all i can think of is the anime hellsing ultimate
That was impossible to pick, too many traps inside.

Ucof, you beat me to it! 😋
Let's hope these don't come in threes. It's not lack in training or in tools. I'll doubt LPL would have faired better.
I would like to see how LPL fares against this lock
That lock was impossible to open cw because there was a block on the tail pice.. You wasted 27 of your 30 minuters picking the wrong way.
Raking it looks harder now u can't pick it the the normal way
Can you trade locks?

A lot of slop in the core in the body.
is it spelled Liar or Lair?
I think it's rail 😎
Liar is the way I had it spelled
Your hands are mighty shaky, Slick. You might want to try decaf. 😉
You can’t win against that. I don’t like it!
Seems unfair to me. Sorry.
I almost thumbs down this. only because there was no suspense in the gutting. (Is he going to mess up or not). Great job. 👍
I just got a Knox box 4400 would u be interested in attempting it?
I appreciate the offer but already have one living in my naughty bucket. It has a really evil 6-pin Medeco in it.
Ok no problem is there anyway you can tell me what the top lock is for I only have the key for the bottom lock and it opens the box so I’m not sure what the top lock does?
