This a fantastic explanation on dealing with serrated pins. This is why it's so important that you learn the difference between springy and loose as Help explains here.
Man, you give the word "helpful" a whole new meaning! Great video, great info, and just great everything! Keep those instructional, "helpful", awesome videos coming.
I started picking yesterday. And was successfully able to pick my flat door today thanks to this video. It took me a few minutes but once I identified the serrated pins it was a piece of cake. Thank you my guy.
Thank you so much for these great instructional videos, I watch them all I have been picking for approx 5 years and these videos bring me back to the basics and what a great help they are, when I get so frustrated I stop to remember the basics you show us here thanks again for all your hard work well done
Thank you for the kind words and I am glad they help. I enjoy making them and I will make more :) They only hard part is they are a bit tedious to make but the work is worth it because they help so many :)
Recently leveled up my lockpicking. Really enjoying your channel and its really pushing my picking forward, found a few random doorocks in a cupboard and spent lockdown unlocking hehe great channel.
Today was literally the best day you could have posted this lol. I got a Peterson lock pick set last week and I've been trying to get a consistent open on my two American 1100s
I actually find it really weird because I've gutted both of them and know that one has 2 spools and the other has 3 but I think the binding order doesn't actually allow any of the spools to come into play. Good luck to you with any exposure your facing with the coronavirus.
I think another thing that's helping is that there's more content out there to help you learn. When I started a few years back there wasn't too many great resources
Thanks for this. It was really helpful. I’ve been working on American 1100’s for weeks. I can usually get them but it still feels more like luck than skill this video showed me what I was doing wrong. Now it’s just more practice
Thank you for the kind words and I am glad they help! Once you can get through American Locks that is a really great milestone. They are probably one of the better low security locks out there :)
Thank you for the kind words and I hope it helps :) Just remember, progressive pinning can help a lot too. It is a great way to build up to anything new
Hi Helpful lock picker I was wondering if you could help me with Dimple Locks Picking I have been watching you for years but I can't find any vids on Dimple picking as always thanks for your Knowledge 😅
Yes, agree with all her, your presentations are always excellent! I know from it too, light tension is the key, but when you go on and set other pins, doesn’t it also make it easier to overset regular pins? Do you adjust tension, a little more, then back off a little when you get back to an underset serrate pin?
I just started 2 days ago. And spent maybe 10 hours on the same lock. For some reason if I tension from the top it's easy to pick. And tensioning from the bottom I can't open it at all. Is this a thing or should I be able to unlock from both top and bottom the same? I'm still really new and it's a lot of fun. Just wondering if some others have had this problem ever and what could fix it.. ok just changed from a half diamond to a hook and I can get it lol. So many different tools that are useable I'm still overwhelmed.
BOK takes up more room and sometimes the shaft of the pick will be oversetting the pins in the front. In theory you should be able to do both but one is often easier. With some locks, using BOK can "bind the core" easily and make it more difficult.

Congrats on the success but you really should not be picking locks in use and / or don't own.
Really well done break down! Thank you! Moving from standard to fancy is a serious learning curve!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice tutorial my friend!
Thank you for checking it out! It is a bit of a pain to setup and edit but I enjoy making them :)

I feel like American Locks are pinned randomly unfortunately. I am glad the video helps and I am doing my best to stay safe.
brilliant video and tutor
The troubleshooting is helpful! Thank you very much.
Thank you for the kind words and I am glad this video helps!
i've notice you are using calibrated picktool, Lishi or similar? well with those tools, i agree. the explanation is accurate. nice video.
Yes, it is a Lishi. They do take the fun out of picking but they definitely make excellent demonstration tools :-)
Cool video...with all the new cutaway stuff out there it really makes learning alot faster. Took me months to learn my way though serrated pins.
I think another thing that's helping is that there's more content out there to help you learn. When I started a few years back there wasn't too many great resources
Thanks man. Your videos are great help on serrated pins as well as spools.
thank you for the kind words and I am glad they help :-)
For me finding the exact tension is the difficulty with serrated pins. Great explanation and fantastic camera work for the demo
Thank you for the kind words!
I love your videos, HLP. I learn a lot from all of them. Where do you get your cutaway locks? Do you machine them yourself, or do you purchase them?
These I bought on eBay but you can get them online. Multipick has a good one

I vary it based how are the key pins are or are not binding. More tension makes oversets less likely but can pose a challenge for these pins
Thank you very much!

Great videos man

Great video. Currently stuck on the master lock 570. Hoping to crack it someday
That luck has four spools and 1 standard. I found for mine BOK works best for some reason

Great tutorial, thanks HelpfulLockPicker!
Thank you for the kind words and I am glad it helps!
What tool are you using for this demonstration?
He is using a lishi pick.
The is a Lishi Pick and Decoder. It is a great tool.
Thanks you two!
Nice Job. Where did you buy the Lishi pick from?
I forget which vendor I used but here are the vendors that sell them: www.originallishi.com/vendors/
However, they are restricted to being only sold to lock smiths. You might have luck on lockpicks.com though
@@HelpfulLockPicker thank you
Where can I get the 6 pin cut away?
eBay usually has them

I rarely hear any clicks.
Not all locks do it is obviously
I like how he disliked his own video
Thanks for sharing
Hope you are doing ok. Worried about you!
Thank you for the well wishes. I would say we are starting to see an uptick on the cases but nothing too unmanageable yet :-)
