OK, I’ll admit that I thought that this was a Matrix, but now I think it’s the Condor 😅. Either way, it’s a fun dimple lock with a pin and slider combination 😃👍🔐
i love M&C locks and their deep deep "sliders are READY!" false set.. i have this lock in my vise at the moment, yet to be opened.. it's like you saw me struggling and thought let's help the poor guy out by showing how it's done ;)
@@LockNoob i finally got it open, seems like your video did the job! :D then wanted to do it on video, 1+ hours and 16 takes later i gave up, so it won the battle, but I will win the war! :)
I'm fairly new to locksport, got my first pick set (Southord C1510) in September last year as something to do during lockdown (I was on the shielding list due to a lung disease). I picked a few locks then stopped for a while... Helping a neighbour gain entry to their property, non-destructively, and getting a bottle of gin for my efforts got me back into the hobby. I've only just started on the dimple locks, so far I've managed to open a Yale superior 9 pin and a Yale platinum 3 star 7 pin, both have sliders and sidebars (it took me a while but I got them open)...I've not gutted them yet. I do gut and even make keys for all the standard euro profiles I get.. but the thought of a gutting disaster with a high security dimple gives me the fear lol. Anyway, big thanks to you Lock Noob. Your channel and a few others have helped me immensely. Cheers.
That is a very interesting and cool lock! Dimple locks are some of my favorite! Thank you for sharing and awesome picking skills. You articulate what you're doing through the process of picking very well which is super helpful to all of us thank you Lock Noob and take care 👍🏼🔐🔓
Hollow drivers is a space saving thing. The anti snap bar take up a big part of the space in the bible. So It allows for a long spring with many turns to compress more and give a soft key insert.
That's a very fun lock! Nice pick! If you like this and as you have already picked the Yale Superior/Milencio Magnum you should try the DAF Kilit. Quite similar but slightly better tolerances. FAB Dynamic is also similar difficult even if the sliders work a bit different.
This SKG 3* lock is more like BSI 3* , tho , I think ratings are quite different. SKG's are more about physical security and resistance to violent attacks , so , this 3* rated lock should be able to withstand more than 5 minutes of drilling , trying to snap core , pull it out , etc , while BSI 3* adds to it antipicking features as well , but not sure which ones. As there are TS007:2012 and TS007:2014 + A1:2015. SKG in its leaflet associates their star rating with facade , which I guess are security handles , and they have also 2 and 3 stars facade elements , while in BSI , TS007 2* refers only security handles and escutsheons (hope I wrote it correctly) and not sure about revisions. Also , SKG for their ratings use toolsets labeled A , B and C , but leaflet doesn't says which these toolsets are. Some hardware (excluding cylinders) may not have 1* rating after 2009/2010. Currently , I'm in search for other rating institutions besides BSI in UK and SKG in Netherlands and want to compile document(s) on how do they compare and which are differences between them.
Beautiful lock and pick! Hollow drivers allow for longer springs, like yours, though it seems like there's enough room already. Wouldn't an undercut be in the core, not the bible? You want the drivers to catch on the core...
Would've thought that they wouldn't have made the anti-drill pin hollow like the rest of the pins. That's the first time I've seen hollow key pins, no doubt makes it much easier to over-set the pins. Were those driver pins bevelled at the bottom?
So , for example , GreenteQ cylinder that you have featured recently on channel isn't the same as the same model that has been sold in my country. I mean , there was less parts/features in the one that is sold here and the one you picked and gutted. :)
Hi there! I am completely new to the lockpicking community and looking for a good beginner lockpicking set to start with. I saw your video from a year ago but some of those links no longer work or their makers have had to stop production. Do you have an off-the-cuff suggestion for what I might want to buy? I’ve looked on Amazon but those vendors have no reviews and I am a bit suspicious about their lack of name recognition, and don’t want to get deterred by buying a crappy set of picks to start off with. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
Even if the locks K’s don’t t work, the manufacturers (apart from mad Bob) are still around and still do great kits. It’s impossible to say what would work for you but my first real set was the SouthOrd c2010 and I really like it
Hey LockNoob! I have a problem. I just bought a couple of locks, and Ive been trying to pick them. I used every tool, and all of them were used correctly. I am new to picking, so don't expect a lot from my skillset. If I put a tension wrench in the lock, and I put the pick in too, the pick will get stuck, and I won't be able to move it back, forth or up&down. It just gets stuck, and I can't do anything (I have lubricated it, and it's a new lock)
Where are you tensioning? Top or bottom of keyway? From the sound of it you're using bottom, so maybe try a smaller size tensioner or if possible use top as it gives much more room for the pick to maneuver.

Yes it's the Condor. They also have a similar lock with a moving element "M&C Move" with a blue sphere in the key.
@@MarcHoekstra Is the Move harder to pick?
@@fjp3305 I don't know, I never tried it. 😅
Very interesting lock mate , & as always great work getting it picked open. Have a great week. 😎👍
You too daz, hope you are enjoying some sun mate!

Did you get it?

Interesting design, fun pick. I can't wait to see you put it all back together on Side Noob. I've got the popcorn ready.
Sadly I filed this before I had that channel ☹️

Thanks very kind of you!
What an interesting lock. It offers doo much promise as a very good high quality security lock but send to fall a little short.
Nicely picked.
Very true!
Hollow drivers is a space saving thing. The anti snap bar take up a big part of the space in the bible. So It allows for a long spring with many turns to compress more and give a soft key insert.
Thanks for the info Rune!
Great effort, great lock, beautiful key, stay safe

Sounds like a cool lock!
great job Ash mate well done👍😊😎🤟🇬🇧👊
Thanks Leon mate! Hope you are well!
Very impressive pick sir! But that's not a surprise for me, I've become accustomed to that on this channel 😊👍👍
Thanks 😊

Cool info, thanks!
Another good vid my friend keep it up always been the best cylinder lock picker, in my opinion.
That’s very kind, but wildly inaccurate. Have you seen Tallan Pick? He’s awesome
Beautiful lock and pick! Hollow drivers allow for longer springs, like yours, though it seems like there's enough room already. Wouldn't an undercut be in the core, not the bible? You want the drivers to catch on the core...
Good point regarding the undercut
Nice one Ash 😎
Thanks 🙏
Nor desperately hard for some=== don't think I would even dare attempt one=== nice one fella!!
Can’t pick it if you don’t try!
Would've thought that they wouldn't have made the anti-drill pin hollow like the rest of the pins.
That's the first time I've seen hollow key pins, no doubt makes it much easier to over-set the pins.
Were those driver pins bevelled at the bottom?
Im not sure they were bevelled
@@LockNoob Thanks 👍
Wow, that is a busy lock inside. Great job getting it open and apart. Will this be a side noob experience getting it back together? Hope so.
Cheers!
Sadly filmed before I had my side channel 😐
Hi 👋
Good pick !
Like always 🙂
Thanks 🙏 😀
Noice !!! ❤️ I wanted to buy that cylinder for myself some months ago.. I am so curious
It’s fun!
So , for example , GreenteQ cylinder that you have featured recently on channel isn't the same as the same model that has been sold in my country. I mean , there was less parts/features in the one that is sold here and the one you picked and gutted. :)
What a coincidence I was just looking at getting one of these last week
Go for it!
@@LockNoob it's expensive to get it to the US. You thing it's worth it? I mean that key alone is pretty sweet
Crazy looking keyway and I love that key! Is there any reason for it other than looking like a really good lock key?
Extra layers of security !

BTW M&C is Dutch, not German.
Ah cool thanks!
Hmmm yes ,i was thinking its to help find in the dark .

It is key bling!
you can push out the pin
yay nice
Agreed!
Hey LockNoob! I have a problem. I just bought a couple of locks, and Ive been trying to pick them. I used every tool, and all of them were used correctly.

Agree with the above comment. Sounds like you are using the wrong tensioner. Only other explanation is your picks are too big.
I think I agree with Frank and Barry

Yay!
@@LockNoob hi lock lol
