Nice to see the progression. I’ve just purchased my first lock picking set (sparrow) and euro locks would be easier to practice on as I live in Norway and they would be cheaper to acquire.
Thanks 🙏
and how are you doing?
@@bramburgers1417 I’m doing quite well. Opened a lot of locks since this comment😂 I had totally forgotten about this. Been a crazy year. How are you doing?
Did you buy the royale set? I wanna start lockpicking but i'm afraid that the normal profile sparrows kit is too thick for euro locks, as it's all i can acquire while living here. Thanks in advance for your response
Your videos are very helpful for beginners. Thank you so much!
Thank you :-)
Just purchased my first beginners set, waiting for delivery 🤔got bored two months ago and got hooked on watching your Videos. Got hooked on the hobie and made a very very low grade single pick and tension bar..
So far 4 out of 5 locks I've acquired I've managed to pick. 3 had key's 🤷🏼♂️ unfortunately/fortunately the one I can't get YET😉 I lock the four locks back to and start the next Day.
Thank you for my new hobie
I just got my first set of picks today and can't SPP the cheapest lock that I own. Up until now I've been using paperclips... Anyway, nice of you to post this video and show that no man is born with these skills.
That was a very informative tutorial doc thanks
Thanks :-)
I am glad I am not the only person struggling to open euro locks your picking mimics mine to a tee, Guess I must be over setting something. However on the upside I do get my locks for free.
Wow, this is an old one! Come watch my new stuff :-)
You have come a long way 🎉❤😊
Today I brought my first used Euro lock to practice on. This video will certainly help me. Update, day 6, still cannot do it.
what about now lol
And what about now?
Back when you found euros hard....the actual noob days...
Don't watch!, Don't Watch, lol :-)
6:18am I am almost ready to head off to work when my phone pings. My friend had been on an early bike ride and arriving home realised he had lost his front door key. His text asked if I had his spare key. Yes I said and headed to his which was only 6 mins away.
On arrival I realised the key didn't fit, it was a key to an earlier euro lock which he had changed. Out came the jacknife and 15 seconds later the door was open. Thankfully a snake rake did the job easily as I didn't have time to try spp. He was amazed and couldn't believe after only 4 months of playing with locks I was able to open his door.
Shhhhhh he thinks I am amazing, it would appear his front door lock ain't that good.
I did say if he ever has difficulty with his piggy bank to give me a call.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
P.S. He now has several spare keys.
Lol, good job dude :-)
Well done Roy, I find raking euros works surprisingly well.
Thanks for making these videos!
Do all of these euro cylinders have overmilling or countermilling?
The abus c83 is the only one I managed to get an open on becuase of the spool pins and the good feedback. That happened once and then never again 😂
I tried to open 8 cylinders including japanese ones and many of them have pins that get stuck.
I tried to look into float picking to set those pins, which kind of helped pick those pins but I couldn't get an open.
Well i started watching you like a month ago while i was in a dark depresive state, and i wanted to get into this type of sport. Also helps that i work in a copy key center, and wanted to learn more about this and im really enthusiastic. 😂😂 Also bought the multipick ELITE LOCK NOOB 27 piece set 0.5 mm. Your videos are high quality and did help me to learn alot, so keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing the knowledge. Sorry if any mistakes where made, in this comment but i live in Romania, and english is not my native language.
That’s great, I hope you are feeling better now
Well i do, also today i picked my first lock, a standard eurocylinder from Verofer. Nothing fancy, standard 5 pins, but it felt good 😁@@LockNoob
I noticed the cam turned when you finally picked it. How would the cam turn with no key inside the core to engage the butterfly for that side ?? Ironically, I picked a Yale myself and was able to use my finger to push on the cam instead of using a tension tool...but I don't know how it could've worked, yet it did :)))
Great video mate couple questions
1 - does it matter which way you put pressure
2- are they like cars ? If springy leave them?
3- how do you know if your in 1,2,3 or 4 ??
Any advice please would be greatful 👍
1.) Not on a euro, though the pin binding order and feedback may vary
2.) Yes
3.) Experience, I'm afraid
This must have been one of your first vids,well done,billbo.
Thanks 🙏
7:01 Just turn CC on :()
Hi Locknoob, my name is Ryan and I have been interested in Locksport for many years and I have always had homemade lock picks and those can be hard to use if they are not made well but over time I have gotten better at fabricating my own lock picking tools but I just ordered my very first lock picking tools set from Sparrows and I'm looking forward to receiving the classic lock pick set from Sparrows and really look forward to seeing the difference between the professional locksmith tools vs my homemade lock picking tools. I like your video's and I did subscribe to your channel a while back.
Thanks for watching :-)
@@LockNoob you are welcome. I do enjoy your video's. I did receive the Classic Lock pick set I ordered from Sparrows on Thursday and I have been trying to open locks with my new lockpics. I did post a few videos about Locksport on my channel (Ryan Clay is the name of my channel, I'm just sharing and learning with each other and not trying to make money from TH-cam video posting) this video is reminding me of what I'm going through with the door lock on the garage at my Aunts house right now and I have not gotten it open yet and it seems like pins are getting over set and then pins dropping as I'm trying to pick other pins
I realize that it is a older lock and I should oil the pins and then work on the tension so I can get better feedback *1-779-208-99up
I live in Germany and I find it way harder to pick the European locks with the pins down like the are mounted. I find it easier to pick with the pins up like locks in the USA.
Different people find picking easier or harder in either orientation I find 🙂
lol idk i find it easy to pick with them down hahah
I need to hold the lock while I pick it. What tool do you have for that?
How do u know what side you need to turn and make rotative pressure ? Some locks are turned upside down sometimes
Does it make any difference if the lock is unlocked and needs to be picked open?
I live in the UK and the standard lock that is upside down like that and it's a pain in the ass but such a good way to learn how to pick and I've now been able to help friends and family get into their house with their euro-locks which in UK are always upside-down so pins are at the bottom
Ok so I have a stupid question : I own locks like this one and once they're picked (or actually open with a key), I can just rotate the piece freely and it never seems to lock again, what do I have to do to lock them?
New to this don't think it to bad
Wouldn't it be way better to rotate it the correct way, so it is way easier to differentiate between set pins and overset pins? When it's like I'd guess that you can't quite tell if the key pins are loose or not.
Is it an advantage to pick euro cylinders counter clockwise? Or is this just personal preference?
I recently acquired my first euro, and its giving me a good fight... I'm also having trouble with how to hold it to not block the middle mechanisms, or the rear , since mine isn't double keyed
Personal preference 👍😃
Great Pick, 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
I feel I should at least send you some Lock Noob stickers for persevering with all these old vids! Send me your address 👍
@@LockNoob That's great, much appreciated. Your video's are awesome, I'll send you my address.
I'm desperate to pick a euro spec mp5 to get a reading for my electric, I have the tools but I just cannot get it open. Any advice appreciated.
I’m afraid if the lock is in use, I’d recommend a locksmith
May I ask why you chose to tension anti-clockwise? I've always tensioned clockwise to good effect.
CHOPERUS23 honestly, I can’t remember, it just must have felt more comfortable at the time :-)
Tensioning it anti-clockwise actually closes the lock (door). I prefer to tension them as I would need to unlock them. Nice tricks, thank you!
@@sorin.n depends on which side of the door you are on.
In the real world, you’d need to be able to do it both ways, depending on which side the bolt is on.
For sport, it doesn’t matter on most locks.
How hard would it be to pick a ERA FORTRESS 3* DOUBLE EURO PROFILE Cylinders lock.
I once bought a ludicrously cheap Yale euro cylinder from B&Q. Apparently a shoplifter had ripped it out of it's packaging but got stopped before they left. As B&Q didn't know exactly what lock it was they just bagged up all the pieces and dumped this brand new name brand lock in the "reduced" section for £3 !!! (Couldn't pass THAT up could I).
It was only after I got it home and started trying to pick it that it dawned on me that a shoplifter isn't going to be nicking something from the bottom of the range are they. This thing was feckin' impossible !!!!
Its a 6 pin lock that had spools in ALL of them. It also has a bitch of a keyway with a couple of tiny ledges in the profile that are half way up the travel of the pins. My picks hang up on these constantly and made this a total impossible lock for me to pick. On top of all that, the bitting was evil.
In the end I just chopped it into 2, Yanked the core from one, Then rebuilt it with plain pins all the way through. With that keyway it's enough of a challenge without the bloody spools in every position (And as a nice bonus, I now have a ...... [AHEM]...... "Matched pair" of locks to challenge one of my friends with at some point. LOL !).
Yes, I god a similar bargain on a keyless Yale platinum 😃
are these like the upvc door locks?
Yes, although the euro profile cylinder can be found in loads of different types of door and be any level of security - just look at some of the mul-T-locks
can you use a rake? for these types of locks
This appears to have security pins, so no raking or bumping.
I am having trouble picking a similar lock that has a deep cut number 2 and 4 pin. I have just ordered some steeper picks to try and get over the number 4 so that I can set the 5 and 6 deep enough as I dont think I am. When I untension the lock I hear some pins click back down so I think they were set correctly but good lord its frustrating! I will get there though. Great vid.
You WILL get there! :-)
"i dont do these very often as i find them difficult" me who has never picked a lock and is desperately trying to open this,
"very high security 6 instead of 5 pins" meanwhile me with a 7 pin lock
Ouch, this, this is an OLD video
Good day. What is the thickness of the tools you are using with such locks?
Probably 0.19 for euro locks. Get a nice set of rakes and you should be ok for basic locks.
Dan Williams 0.19 is a good place to start for euro cylinders, but he is using a Sparrows Standard Hook in 0.25 in the video shown.
a challenge to you. can you make a video of those big chunky hockey puck like pad locks
Hmmm, if you mean a discus style lock then yes! I have a couple and I'll do a vid soon. If you mean the big ones on things like van doors, I'll have to look at buying one when I get paid next. I'm a noob after all so I'll have to start with a cheap one! Watch this space
+Lock Noob I'm in a city centre flat and the chain 'guarding' my car space has an old one on that I've always wanted to remove but my original attempt with paper clips didn't work haha
Help and tips would be nice ta rera
I'm just getting into lock picking and someone gave me a GeGe euro lock. Are they good quality?
Very
I find picking from front to back easier
Just started lockpicking. God I stuck at single pick. Ughhhhh
Do you think that picking the lock up side down won’t help you when you have to pick a door lock that’s actually inside a door and in the correct way. So maybe get us to picking up wards
I pick both ways, but I never pick locks in use, so I don’t worry about a transferable skill-set :-)
The locks in hand I try upside down and right side up,some times switching helps🤷🏼♂️
Put content set up there if any wants to comment ta
I’m so bad at this can you just come and pick my lock for me please 😂😂
hypothetically, if i were to break into a house, would I be able to open doors like this? It's just hypothetical tho
Anyone able to help me with a problem I have with my front door Euro profile lock?
If the key is inserted with a key in place on the other side it will open but the cam becomes displaced so the only way to extract the key is to lock the mechanism with the door open.
I can remove the lock from the frame, twist the two keys in opposite directions them it will reset, then refit the lock.
This lock will be replaced soon and be put into my 'learn to pick' pile 😁
I tried it and the lock managed to spin to the right as if it was opening i got all exicted but it was only spining arround and not unlocking ? Any explanation ?? Ive been told its because anti lock picking locks?
Hmmm, not sure... could be anti pick or just a broken cam. Hard to say without seeing the lock. Email me a picture at locknoobcontact@gmail.com
The pins have moved up o the turn.. a filed down key will solve this same when you do a thumb turn

👍
TOOL-STATION £5 for euro cylinders
Any good ones?
@@LockNoob
The key way is quite hard for me to pick I need some slim picks.
They got single locks or one's with one on each end. And more expensive yale locks.have a look online.
Picked mine in just 2 hours for the first time im life but the still won't open. Using a needle to set the pins lol
If it works it works!
@@LockNoob yup took me 5 hours and i did it. After that all other doors were like a piece of cake. Had to fole a key though.
much faster to snap it .. lol
