Thank you so much for this! The guy who rented my apartment before me left a cheap wall mounted safe with an electronic lock and a backup tubular lock and I wanted to remove it because I needed the space. And I wasn't very keen on ripping the whole wall out. Got the exact same pick as you and thanks to your tutorial it worked!
Great instructional video! The batteries died in my new safe BEFORE I used it once, even the keys were still inside. My son bought me the lock picks and I found your video. Within 5 minutes the safe was open. Thank you.
I got the HUK Chinese kit. $32. Your video got me trained up in about 3 minutes. I tightened all the handle set screws and wrote the color/size under each tool. 7.0,7.5,7.8 and then removed all the silicone tension rings from the outside. I then installed a white silicone band of the same size ( Amazon, so useful) then one ring, then band,ring,band. This was the perfect amount of resistance and retention and made opening the practice lock far more repeatable 9/10. I will have to test and verify it's good on all metal locks too. Thanks for the video 🔐🔨🩺
After reading this comment, I realized my issue. The bands that are included with the picks don't provide enough resistance. Because of this, the spring loaded pins were pushing the levers farther than they needed to go. I laterally grabbed generic rubber bands from the junk drawer and looped them around the pick right over the levers, until finally, after about 4 of them, it was finally working the way he showed in the video. Thank you.

I started lockpicking as a hobby that turned out to be really useful to have a set and the skill so I kept going with it and got a car break in kit and a tubular set now I just need to find some locks to practice with already helped 4 people with the car kit too
make sure you got the HUK tools with the replaceable tension bar, bar hole in the recessed part and set screw as they also sell a version without it and this one cannot open most tubular locks unless you install the tension bar yourself by drilling and taping. 😒
If I understand this correctly you could vary the springs or driver pins to prevent an easy pick with the tubular lockpick but after the attacker picked it once conventionally and only did a 1/16 turn they could then impression their tool before completing the turn... is there a way to give the keyway a spring to jump back a click in case the attacker loosens keyway tension?
I have a coin-laundry machine in my OWN apartment. Like, in my living room. That I already pay for. I'm not dumping 16 quarters per load every week. I'm investing into this.
well laundry machines are expensive as gold, i got a used brand machine in new condition for 50 bucks, and new they go for 200-250, sure depends where you live but germany isn't a third world country as far as i know ;D
@@jeffreyarena6199 seems you are new to the topic of buying used items. Used means just it had a pre-owner and says little about the condition the item is in (mechanical/electrical wear of component=runtime, optical appearance=scratches /dirt, functionality=fully, or minor/big problem/ defective, also there are things like age after purchase or things like "old-new in stock , meaning older items never sold=new" perfect for tools) The Machine i got was new condition meaning no optical problems looked like new, mechanical very little runtime which i confirm now after 5 years its still working.
What do you do if the lock gets stuck in the unlock position, Do you still line up arrow with the center or do you line it up with where its turned too?
I understand this video is over two years old, but for the price of this tool is still killer. I hope you are still checking messages this far back. Will the 7 pin HUK tubular pick work on a misaligned tubular lock? I have not been asked to work on one yet, but I’m starting to notice them while I’m out with the family. Thank you kindly for your input.
Pick up some scrap washing machines that have empty change boxes as well as service locks. I got 3 of them working but can't resell till I can open and change locks, as well as opening them b4 they go to junkyard
Wait a second.....Does that mean all tubular locks with no extra shielding or some security measures can all be opened by impression tools in seconds? DAMN! They are everywhere here!
You're the 10th YT channel I've seen using the lock pick tool. I ordered them I can't get it to work. It won't open the safe, won't open a cheap cabinet I have for storing paint and kick knacks, it won't open the tool box or any other lock I have that is tubular. Every channel literally shows just sticking it in and a little wiggle and done. Tried with 7 tensioning bands down to 0 tensioning bands. Either I am missing something or I have a defective set. Any hints or tricks on the use of the lockpick set?
At first it didn't seem like it was going to go, and the heckling from the wife wasn't going to be worth it, but then it just went, pretty easily too. Neat! Thanks for the video it helped me get into my safe where the batteries faded and the code wouldn't work anymore, nor the default code from factory...
I have an armoured cable lock that was left on a bike indeed to remove. I wonder if locksmiths can do it? I just don't have time to go through all the trial and error approach
Do you know how effective these would be on an American HT-15 ?? LPL said he couldn't get one to work on a Unican and I think that's virtually the same lock.
I bought those impression tools for a lock I need to pick, but the lock's slot for the locator pin seems too small (or the tool's pin on the inside is too big) so the tool won't go in.
I have an esd lock and the springs are way too strong for my huck so I ordered the mantis tension tool to hand pick it, and it's difficult to hold the tension and press the pins down. I'm using a sewing needle and it's slippery.. any advice?
Im still confused how this tool works. All the pins are in the same position and i put it in the tubular lock but doesn't work. What am i possibly doing wrong 🤔 😕
Will this work on and antique cabinet I purchased? The face plate is removed and all I see is like a tubular stub/rod in the center. Please advise..thank you.
im not too sure if you will see this as the video is 7 years old but can i find a tubular lock pick that will unlock a 7.8mm and 4 pin lock?? if so can you please give me the link
Ok that's great but my lock from the 60s I think and has four clip pin around the wall of it you know the dash groves on the side it had four dose it work the same way
Don't buy clear locks. Practice on master locks or cheap stuff from hardware stores. Real locks are not clear and you need to practice on the feel and how much tenstion you applt to the tension tool.
My buddy got a hold of a blank, and used some weird little Bobby pins or maybe they were like pieces of some street sweeper bristles, and then those tiny rubber bands girls use for their hair when they dye it or braid it, so the little shims were on the outside and the rubber band held them in place. He said it worked

There HAS to be a way to tension the lock otherwise the key couldn't turn it either! Lock underneath the outer shielding ring, chances are there's a second ring underneath with the same cutout that turns/tensions the cylinder.
Just a thought - but if you have to single pick a tubular lock how about doing the first fraction of a turn once you've achieved the first pick then inserting the tool. I've not tried it as I haven't a lock to practice on right now - but in theory I'd suggest the tool will take the correct pattern and if you lock the tool's pins in place you'd avoid having to re-pick those extra times?
My friend bought a business that has a pool table. The keys were never provided for it, so I might try this to see if I can open the coin mechanism for her and see if there are any coins still in it
Watched this vid and ordered a lock pick kit a month ago . Last Thursday I picked a tool box open for someone in less than 10 seconds. I don't know why I bother locking things anymore.
Is it even possible to pick an Ace II since the pins require different amounts of tension? Another issue with this particular safe of mine... is that I had to apply some force even when I still had the key, pushing in on the door and almost lifting upward.. so frustrating. Yes, I've attempted single pin picking and am simply having the same problem, and I cannot find the right tension wrench to use... please help.
Thank you for this video! I have the same tools and hadn't been able to open up the practice lock that it came with until I saw you talk about the posts! While the ones included were too long for mine, prob just inconsistent tooling but they're cheap tools, I clipped a bobby pin and that fit perfect and I was able to get it work!
I know this is an old message but maybe someone else will read this. There is a set screw under one of the pick pins 180 degrees from where that hole is for the tension pin. You slide the pick pin back to expose that screw. Loosen it, slide the tension pin in, then tighten the set screw.
the 7.8 mm pick is the only one you should need in the usa i got all three and most american tubular locks are 7 pin ans 7.8 mm key youll never use ther other 2 picks

This really worked! Thanks. I bought the aame Jinese kit, but it didnt jave any english instructions. This video saved me a hassel.
I have to say, this is one of the best lock picking videos I have watched. Everything that you need, no extras.
Never knew you could pick tubular locks nor did I knew how they worked THANKS!
No such thing as an unpickable lock
Yeah the locks that i can think off on top off my head is (cross locks, tublar locks, pin tumbler locks, wafer locks, warded locks, leaver locks)
Great vid, so glad you showed how to do it without the tubular lockpick or the special tension tool. most vids say you need one or the other

May be you have video with new tubular locks.?!
Thx

Is it possible to pick a 4 pin tubular lock with an 8 pin lock pick tool?
As long as the 4 pins line up with the picks. The other 4 will just stay in their original position and the lock should open as normal
I can see the impressioning tool being of value for tubular locks with a shell cover.
I have an armoured cable lock that was left on a bike indeed to remove. I wonder if locksmiths can do it? I just don't have time to go through all the trial and error approach
my tubular lock pick is smaller than the one that you show. How do I find the measurements of the lock so that I can find a key that would fit it?
I have an esd lock that I've been trying to get open with a new huck I just bought. I'm new to it. And IDK if it's the huck or that I need practice.
Do you know how effective these would be on an American HT-15 ?? LPL said he couldn't get one to work on a Unican and I think that's virtually the same lock.
I bought those impression tools for a lock I need to pick, but the lock's slot for the locator pin seems too small (or the tool's pin on the inside is too big) so the tool won't go in.
Mine was the same. I filed down the insert pin to half the width so it sits closer to the edge. After that it worked perfectly
How do you transfer the 7 pins from the tool (that opened the lock) to a depth code on a tubular key cutter for a blank key?
Well made video. thx. Where do you get one of these kits?
When doing the single pin pick do you have to pick the lock to relock it
I have an esd lock and the springs are way too strong for my huck so I ordered the mantis tension tool to hand pick it, and it's difficult to hold the tension and press the pins down. I'm using a sewing needle and it's slippery.. any advice?

Guess the ones they supply now doesn't have the keyhole. Can't get mine to work

There HAS to be a way to tension the lock otherwise the key couldn't turn it either!
Lock underneath the outer shielding ring, chances are there's a second ring underneath with the same cutout that turns/tensions the cylinder.
How do you remove the tension pin?
There is a set screw hidden under one of those sliders. (It's on opposite side of tension pin). Loosen and then pull up the pin.
