There are a lot of lever lock tools out there, but are any as versatile or dare I say, as beautiful as this set from GJ Locks? I just had to show this off to you all. gjlocks.co.uk/ thank you to all my subscribers for watching and a special shout out to all the working locksmiths, keep doing a great job! *Edit:* To answer a question I’ve had a few times, I am showing this on my lockpicking channel as I find professional picking tools interesting and I assume that other pickers would also be interested to see these tools regardless on whether you can buy them. Please also bare in mind that I have a mixed audience of amateurs and professionals so I hope this appeals to both audiences.
What a lovely tool. You can clearly see the craftsmanship and thought that has gone into this kit. Looks a little bulky but that might be because it's on camera. The only thing missing... You picking some locks with it.
Awesome kit!!!! Even though I can’t get one , I love seeing these things!!!! Thank you for sharing this type of video!!! And of course all the picking videos!!! 👍👍👏👏👍👍👏👏👍
I think the word is "envious" and not "jealous" :-) Nice versatile bit of kit and it's good that you're reviewing it as I would probably never see one. Keep them up.
What I want are the pre lifters. ERA Fortresses are notorious for needing pre lifted. I have one that needs it and I bought key blanks and need to make my own pre lifters. Wish me luck. I have 10 key blanks.
Nice kit but the thumb turn looks a bit large. I prefer the lollipop style of holder for the picking wires. Gives you more surface area to hold it with.
I would like to see a really good quick-release thumb turn on the market so hot-swapping wires would be super easy. I’ve seen screw in ones custom made, but that’s it :-)
Very hard to say, I think I’d recommend people trying a lever padlock picking set first to see if they want to go further with lever locks before investing in a top end kit :-)
Neat set. UK Lockickers (UKLP) has some cool stuff in the pipeline. Worth keeping an eye on for those that are not in the trade but still want good tools.
A great pick that I use a lot. Unfortunately it doesn't come with all the tips that you see here. A good investment tho and amazing customer support to go with it.
Hi Lock Noob, What a great piece of kit! Too expensive for the Locksport community - perhaps, but as a money earner for Locksmiths, it's a no brainer. As a Locksmith, I'm glad that some Companies restrict the sale of their lockpicking tools to Locksmiths only. It seems only a "short" time ago - before the internet - that lock picking tools were available to Locksmiths only - how times have changed! I guess it was inevitable, and if it didn't happen, I wouldn't be watching these videos - and learning, I might add. Please keep showing these type of tools, even if they are not generally available, I'm sure that everyone that's interested in locks can appreciate the different tools that are out there. Regards, Brian.
Very nice tools... I presume a hefty price, but well worth it to pro. Interesting note, here in California, all that is needed to be a "Registered Locksmith" is to fill out a form, pay a fee, and claim the title. Would that make me "Trade"? Doesn't matter, the set is well beyond my needs.
Being locksmith doesn’t require any licence in the U.K., BUT the MLA is the de-facto governing body in a self-regulated group of professionals it seems :-)
@@LockNoob If you guys are interested in following my story with MLA progression I have a blog I handmade and update regularly my-new-life-on-the.tools - I actually cut my teeth at MPL in Wakefield a couple of years ago - but his year I began the process of joining the MLA.
@@forric23 how’s that going for you? Do you find you get more work from it? I am setting up in the trade and am interested (in time) about the MLA courses
It's nice to see this stuff, even if I can't buy it. I get ideas as to how to make my own tools, if I need them. I also always wondered what locksmiths over in Europe use to get into Lever locks. You putting this video up about a locksmith tool doesn't offend me. I watch videos on expensive cars I will never own, mansions, etc. And this is definitely lock related. Keep up the great videos, and don't worry about the minority who somehow find your review of locksmith tools offensive.
Andy mac has partnered with gjs. And his set for sale is almost exactly the same the only part I haven't got as yet is the prelifters but he selling whole set 155 pound and the 5 and 7 gauge none curtain tips at 60 pound per set I bought everything including all the wires I spent about 800 all up the only thing I need is the two prelifters but just a beautiful set and well worth every cent make opening all sorts of locks padlocks just a pleasure awesome gear

Looked up the link to gj locks in your description... since i´m a professional locksmith but not from the UK no possibility for registration and therefore no access to the shop...

I agree with you it's almost to good to be true, but it doesn't matter how dedicated you might be we can't purchase the items... if you're not a professional locksmith which I find incredibly unfair we watch all the various videos master the art buy hundreds of pounds worth of locks but are kept with our noses pressed against the shop windows looking in at the Holy grail. Not a very nice way to treat supporter's. Robbie from Huyton Liverpool UK
But plenty of locksmiths watch my channel too. I just want to show what’s ‘out there’ if it’s interesting in the same way i like looking at fast cars I can’t buy. Your support is always appreciated
What's the point of you showing us something that we can't buy I thought we were supposed to be a family of like minded people who enjoy the challenge of manipulating locks of all types. Disappointed!!!!! 8882 Huyton uk
Simply because it’s a really interesting item, or at least I think it’s interesting; and also, while not everyone can buy it, many, many of my professional viewers will be able to - I really want to appeal to all people who are interested in locks and lock picking. I can’t buy a Ferrari, but I sure do like to watch car programs because I find that type of car interesting. My genuine question to you is, do you find these professional tools interesting to see too?
@@LockNoob I can not afford the tool but I am grateful for your demonstration of a tool that is available maybe I hope it will encourage other tool makers to come up with a similar tool so that those who can build a more affordable tool and keeping the quality

This is a nice set. One of the main motivations for me to start making tools all those years ago was the expense of curtain picks, so I made my own.
And look at all the stuff you’ve achieved :-)
WOW Beautiful craftsmanship and beautifully worked out in construction grateful thanks for sharing
Thanks :-)
What a lovely tool. You can clearly see the craftsmanship and thought that has gone into this kit. Looks a little bulky but that might be because it's on camera. The only thing missing... You picking some locks with it.
I k ow, so many locks and so little time!
@@LockNoob Please if possible find some time.I feel you have got a lot of peoples attention with the tool
Awesome kit!!!!
Even though I can’t get one , I love seeing these things!!!!
Thank you for sharing this type of video!!!
And of course all the picking videos!!!
👍👍👏👏👍👍👏👏👍

Wow that looks amazing, fantastic build quality & like you said the set looks to have covered everything, great review.
Thanks Daz

Nice kit, I may have to start looking at lever locks more....
Do it :-)
Beautiful set of tools thank you for showing them please show more pro sets

It’s very nice to play with, that’s for sure :-)
I really like that set. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Nice kit but the thumb turn looks a bit large. I prefer the lollipop style of holder for the picking wires. Gives you more surface area to hold it with.

@@LockNoob How is the balance on this one?
Fine, or at least I didn’t notice it being an issue :-)
You have to apply for an account to see the shop, and they don't accept non professional locksmiths, and people from outside UK.... Kind of limited
BEAUTIFUL WORKMANSHIP
Sure is :-)
I appreciate good tools that are made to last. Interesting content as usual.
Thanks :-)
Thank you LN. Not used in the states anymore but love a precision set of tools anytime.
Thanks :-)
Much like an Aston Martin, it’s a beautiful piece of craftsmanship that sits well outside my budget for boys toys...
Definitely :-)
Cool bit of kit buddy. Great of of makers to send.
Thanks Waddac2, it really is nice of them to lend. I love seeing this stuff :-)
Beautiful kit. But my company has never come across any lever locks in the field. If we ever do tho, Ill know where to get the right picks ☺
Are you in North America? If so, then I understand that lever locks are rare but still found in very old buildings :-)
Very nice bit of kit.
It’s a shame they don’t sell to the public.
They would probably double their sales. 🤔
wez picks for sure, but respect his choice on the matter. Beautiful stuff though :-)
I'm selling a set
Great review Lock Noob! They appear to be made with precision. Would you recommend this set as your first? Thank you. 👍👍👍👍🧡
