Great lock and even greater pick!!!! I love the Kryptonite series locks and this particular one is a top notch lock. I had one I sent to UK as they can't find it anywhere and as soon as I did, I can't seem to find one here. Lol A popular lock for sure.
Great work on those pins. If you had thrown in a super spring you might have got a whipped. Also, great job picking this one Bill - surprised you got it so quickly after seeing those pins & modifications.
Honorable donk did an excellent job on that kryptonite, anytime it takes Bill 4 mins to get "lucky " (aka talent) on a lock, you know it was a tough one! Nice picking Bill, and thanks for the video!
For Challenge Locks after you gut it do you reassemble and set it aside or do you rekey and package for remailing forward within a day or two? What's your typical process after you pick and gut? Beautiful lock, great video with clear imagery and crisp audio.
Robert, I stopped accepting challenge locks about a year ago, the logistics & expense was simply too great. Anyway, whenever I gut a lock I re-assemble it and return it to the owner. If the owner does not want it back, I give it away to a new lock picker at some point. I am not a collector and see no need to clutter up the shop with locks that I've already picked.
I often wonder how effective deep under cuts almost a shape and a bunch of I shaped pins, with the idea that any turn on the core would catch the top or bottom of the I pin in the V of the core. All pins would therefore have to be in position before applying any rotation (which you would get on a normal key). I'm not a locksport guy so i don't know if this is viable and if it is whether it's a 'cheap' move.
beardy736 watch this video from bill bicardi. The challenge lock he shows is kinda like what you are talking about... th-cam.com/video/L4nzMuRWUo4/w-d-xo.html
Hi Bill Nice picking These challenge lock's are getting more complicated all the time I wonder if the Manufacturer's are locking in and in the year's to come there will be a Super duper anti crack, pick, Bash, Grind, Melt, Drown, And Explosive Proof Lock and make it affordable for all, the latter probably the hardest to achieve Trouble is where doe's that leave Locksmithing OK for many years until every one's got there quota. On a positive note your channel's one of the best on youtube and i'm sure you will find a way by hook or by crook.
When I realized it took Bill 4 minutes to pick a lock I first thought :" Wow, it's weird. Bill must be tired." Then he took it apart and I was scared that he opened it within only 4 minutes. I try to learn thanks to your videos Bill. But I have a lot of difficulties when it comes to seriated pins. No way I could open this one even with some "Luck" as you call it. Nice video !
Haha. Didn't expect this kind of answer. You chose your subject wisely ;) Have a look at the lemniscate if you're also interested in maths :D BTW I added an 'i' to Bernoulli's name because I couldn't decently get the exact same name.
I noticed the extra i, but I wasn't going to let that stop me, from making the comment, LOL. I love MATH, so I most definitely, will check out lemniscate. I never heard of it, so you've got me really ... CURIOUS. I'll let you know what I think.
I like how one of the pin-in-pin key pins was poke-through, but the other wasn't - I wonder if that made a difference between the two, seeing how you press the whole thing up in one and maybe just the inner pin in the other if you're unlucky. As for the serrated inner pin stalks... I guess if you somehow push the outer pin above the shear line, but allow the inner to flop back down again, the stem will go in slanted (if the outer pin's chamber is wide enough) and then you'll start to feel the bumps while re-picking the same pin to proper height. Or at least that's the intention I could guess for it.
more weird voodoo than I have seen in one lock, and still picked? What more could have been done? maybe 2 pins with super tight tolerance? I don't know\ R
My guess would be he/she is left handed. He/she rotates the bottom edge of the paper 45 degrees to the left (8'ish o'clock) when writing. This enables him/her to write with a straight wrist, rather then the awkward curled over wrist that many left handers use.
+Bosnianbill the package should’ve arrived by the way, did you get it? I think it says “lauren” rather than “dylan” on it because the USPS guy insisted on using my mom’s account.
You keep saying 'he'. unless he had the wife write that note i'm pretty sure that's a 'she'. i'm no penmanship expert, but no man i've ever known had any penmanship worth a &*#$. awesome work DONK!

A popular lock for sure.
Honorable Donk, your first challenge lock, and it took BB over ... 4 minutes? WELL DONE!
That is an amazing amount of work. Well done to the Honorable Donk and the Honorable BosnianBill.
After looking at the inside of that lock, I'm stunned you got it in 4 minutes!
So was I! The insides looked downright SCARY! 😃
Another great challenge lock
. I'm sure that threaded pin in pin combinations are now going to be "on trend" ☺
Wow! What a complicated lock! A true work of art and a challenge. I wish I could pick such a lock one day...
Briljant pins!
Nice pick Bill.
Awesome lock - great work! And I love the idea of threading inside the pin-in-pins! :D
Fantastic Picking As Always Bill. Great Video. Lovely Lock Too. Keep up the great work. Nick.
That is a thing of shear beauty. Lovely work went into making this.
Those are some nice looking pins, wow, good job on that. Mr.Bill great!!! Pick. Love the lock
Great work on those pins. If you had thrown in a super spring you might have got a whipped.
Also, great job picking this one Bill - surprised you got it so quickly after seeing those pins & modifications.

Inside of the #5 bible pin was threaded!
What an awesome lock! He must have spend some time to do all those pins… great Job!!
Excellent video as usual with no sound problem too.
Much better sound.
I’d have no chance at picking that lol.
Thank you, sir!
Great vid as usual. NO sound problems. Great picking.
Thanks! After COUNTLESS mods to the LockLab, as well as investing in a completely new audio capture system, things seem to be working out... finally!
Bill was in the zone breaking this one down
Damn nice work Donk! You have the skills and are on the way to be a master!
Awesome effort, those pins are great. Bill had to wreck it for him..🤣
Nice picking skill. What a great lock. They can be nasty when their stock, let alone modified.

Wow, that is a piece of art.
Nasty lock Donk, greating picking as usual bill!
Why do they put the bypass wafer when it has a solid actuator?
hey bill! i'm also a fan of those cheap dollar store finger LED's. pretty useful for a quarter each.

Mr. Bernoulli I won my junior high science fair, with your ... principle. THANX!

I'm extremely new too picking. It seems to me that most commercial locks combat picking by tightening tolerances, not with innovative design.
Great pickin', Bill !!
😉👍 "Donka-Donk"
Thank you, sir! 😃
Great pick Bill, but like they say - sometimes you have to make your own luck.
Good job on both sides!
Bill has six on the braiin. He called both chamber 2 and 4 "six" at 14:52 and 15:02 respectively.
I also called 3 "two"... Yep, I suck. Totally. 🙄
I thought maybe you were having "that" kind of problem and it was a Freudian slip. It's only one letter difference. 😮😁😉
really nice pins and great pick

maybe 2 pins with super tight tolerance?
I don't know\

cool pins and awesome pick
Nice work Donk
Nice lock from Donk. Sounds like me but... no. Some fancy work in there but not enough for a Paclock.🔒🍺😎🇦🇺
A job my friend nicely done👍😊👍😊😎✌✌
Nice pick, Bill!
Try Posca markers, they're the business and use paint rather than ink
Thanks for the tip, I'll try to find some at Staples today.
The Honorable Donk has amazing penmanship, typically seen from the female persuasion. She/he did a great job on the lock.
I noticed this too.
My guess would be he/she is left handed. He/she rotates the bottom edge of the paper 45 degrees to the left (8'ish o'clock) when writing. This enables him/her to write with a straight wrist, rather then the awkward curled over wrist that many left handers use.
I've got a couple challenge locks/prototypes that I've made that you might find interesting, could I send them your way?
You BET! My address is: LockLab, P.O. Box 2160, Merrifield, VA 22116. THANK YOU!
+Bosnianbill Cool! I should be sending them your way shortly!
+Bosnianbill the package should’ve arrived by the way, did you get it? I think it says “lauren” rather than “dylan” on it because the USPS guy insisted on using my mom’s account.
It arrived yesterday, thank you!
you should buy the Industrial grade Sharpie better than ink and paint
Your real and my fav!
For a moment I thought your "Time to Pick" clock was going to display 100th of a Second, which is fine for a Master Lock. :)
Ha! Yep, my camera also records at 1000 frames per second, so I could slow it down enough to make a video! 😁
How So Fast! Amazing!
Hi Bill, how can i get you a challenge lock?
mytmousemalibu go to locklab.com and his address is on the page.
Scott Baldwin cool, thanks!

Honorable D O N K
i like those pin in pins
I Was wondering what was taking him so long then when you see whats inside nice challenge
That bible lookes like scarecrow's teeth.😊
How about picking a Kriptonite Motorcycle "D" Lock with the special dimple key.
I would think keep it if you can't pick it, and send it back if you can so I can try again. ;->
So much pin in pin
One of the earlier comments
Number Fünf :). U half German?
But does donk have a donk?
You keep saying 'he'. unless he had the wife write that note i'm pretty sure that's a 'she'. i'm no penmanship expert, but no man i've ever known had any penmanship worth a &*#$. awesome work DONK!
