Just wanted to say thank you for this technique. Had a couple locks I was having trouble with my sparrows disc pick and didn't think to counter rotate the pick. After seeing your video I finally got them to open! Stay safe Daz
My friend this has made my day, thank you so much I really appreciate it. Disc detainer locks are fantastic fun to pick. You too have a great weekend. 😎👍
Phenomenal info bro. The time and effort you put into this did not go past myself. I thank you for doing the work involved to besting this type of situation. I will never forget it and use it too. Cheers and Happy Pickin!
Thank you so much mate I really appreciate it. Disc detainer locks are so much fun to pick, & I know this little technique will help a lot of people with theses locks. Have a great week. 😎👍
Nice vid, very helpful, thanks! From the look of the bitting on that Abus plus key you could tension that one off disc 8 with a rear tension tool and leave the butterfly on 9 alone, but that wouldn't help most of the time!
Thanx Daz. I was just gifted a DD lock from work that was cut off a bike stand after sitting all winter. Still waiting to get a sparrows pick so I can start with DD locks.
I really hope that sparrows get some more DD picks up on sale soon. They really good tool. You will have a lot of fun picking Disc detainer locks. Have a great week mate .
Great explanation my friend, very informative. You are really getting into disc detainers. Now you need to manufacture dd picks with your design flair.🤔🍺👍
Don'z Lockz Thanks Don, I’d love to make a really cool DD pick, I just need a lathe, it’s on my to get list, so hopefully I will sort it out soon. Have a great week mate.
Nice pick, and nice picking, geez. Trying to pick the exact model lock you have there, but I've no key for it, so it's more than a bit challenging. Knowing it's a 6-disc will help immensely, I reckon.
Nobody Special Thanks mate, I hope this helps, your lock will also have a 0 disc somewhere in the core. It will be the only one that clicks when you return it back to the start position. Have a great week my friend.
Hey Daz, great addition to Lock Noob's video. I'm a noob myself but did notice a big difference in feedback when tensioning from a non tensioning disc. I was able to open the few dd locks i have though. In my case swap front to back disc tension like lpl demonstrates often, before setting disc one. Seems to me pushing the sidebar out one way often still pushes it in slightly on the other side, but i dont have a working transparent or cutaway to verify that. Thanks Daz 👍
Thanks my friend. Lpl is a fantastic resource for information on DD locks, I’ve learnt so much from him. DD are such fun to pick & work out. Have a great week,👍
Thanks mate, I really appreciate it. P.s I’m still can’t get that bloody lock I’ve borrowed of you open. I’m going to have another couple of goes then sent it back.😩 . It tensions from a disc in the middle but with the Classic profile it’s not easy. Have a great week
Super information!!! Great video demonstration!! So one should look for a 0 cut in the mid part of the key for the clue that it tensions from that cut? Think I have got it😅 Thank you for sharing this !!!! Stay safe my friend!! 🐈👍🐈👏🐾😷
Thanks Chris. Absolutely the 0 cut disc mid way through the lock/key will definitely help to know, if your not getting any feedback. Have a great week Chris.
great video. As I also wrote in comment to lock noob. LPL does this trick so often, but never explain it in details for the beginners to understand the trick.
Very well explained Daz. Very clear information. Am I right in thinking that if you haven't seen the key to know which is the zero cut disk, it's the one that doesn't click when you fully turn it counter clockwise? Then you would just rotate it back fully clockwise?
Thank you Roy, absolutely that exactly how to find it. Plus I’ve always found that the 0 disc drags through the full rotation of the disc. Have a great week Roy.
Thanks again for the tip it got me to open my first disc lock the other day but I can only open it once out of every 15 or 20 tries my zero cut I believe is on the third disc and the last three or four I can feel and hear the click the first couple discs is mushy no click so I think that's the only reason it's taking me so many tries is I'm just getting lucky on the first couple discs is it because I'm doing this in the wrong order I'm going linear backward to forward I'm wondering if maybe I should start somewhere like second disc and then first disc or maybe third second and first and maybe then I can get clicks on all of them?
I’m so pleased that this video & technique has helped. Disc locks definitely take a bit of practice to master, they are so much fun to pick open. & to think that it wasn’t that long ago they were considered unpickable. Have a great day my friend.
Daz, is the one you’ve just picked, the same as the identical looking Kryptolock Series 2? Gonna try to make my first DD pick from scratch. Will make the tips on the the milling machine and use some thumb wheels from my stainless 1” 2in1 components. Do you know what the maximum tip thickness needs to be to clear each disc?
The Abus & kryptonite are similar apart from the Abus disc locks generally have false gates, the Kryptonite disc locks generally have slightly thinner discs. Some of the kryptolock cores have a small secondary lever/disc at the bottom of the lock that needs to be moved first. Apart from that the tools require are identical. The picking tips i make are 0.3mm but you can go up to 0.5mm , that’s same as the Sparrows DD pick Did you see my video on how i made my disc detainer pick. Here’s a link. th-cam.com/video/PbAhCvIrFCk/w-d-xo.html Any other questions just ask. 👍
Amazing info here thanks a lot !! so when tensioning from a butterfly disc, is it better to use heavy tension or light tension ? I can use this counter rotation technic well on a chinese lock that has a core quite similar to the Kryptonite lock. However, on my Abus 88/40 I seem to have no feedback at all. Maybe it's because of those butterfly disks. Any clue ? What am i doing wrong here ? Thanks man
Hi mate, believe me you are doing nothing wrong, they are pretty tricky locks to pick, the feedback is very subtle until you have all the disc’s in a gate, weather it be false or true. As for the tension you just need a moderate tension. I’ve just brought another Abus plus lock the Abus 89/40, so when it arrives I will do another in-depth video on it, to try & cover all aspects of picking them. I’ll also use the sparrows DD pick.🤞 Have a great weekend.
@@dazevers that would be great, I can't wait for this video you're going to make. Still don't get any feedback at the moment from my Abus 88/40 I don't know why... Still trying to figure it out.
very interesting, i havent messed about to much with these locks , so would you need 3 differnt tools for top bottom and middle tension ? i see sparrows now to do top tension tools but never seen the other 2 types for sale ,

Very informative Daz👨🎓

Hi Cris
That is right with this particular padlock. But once you can master this technique you can open every Abus plus core. 😎👍

Cool
Thanks mate, have a great week. 👍
If you didn't have the key how would you know which is a zero cut please
I have never practiced any cylinder with disc
You really should they are wonderful locks to pick, have a great week.
What kind of tool did you use?
This DD pick I made my self, just from some 20mm Alu bar & Stainless tube. Nice, simple & cheap. Have a great week.
@@dazevers was that a injector pin
