(497) ABUS Rock 83CS/55 Pick and Gut

This lovely Abus Rock 83CS/55 was lent to me by KeyMOE from the U.K. Locksport forum :-) it’s a great lock, but the bitting makes it a relatively easy pick :-)

[@roysammons2445]

Took your advice and ordered some shims from Sparrows. After cutting several locks easily I came across a lock that jammed the pins whilst removing the core. It was at that moment I said to myself "And that's why LN said I need to use shims".
Thanks for the advice.

[@dazevers]

In my opinion one of the greatest Abus Padlocks. The Abus 83CS/55 is a real heavyweight & wonderful to pick, that was a great job & great video.

[@LockNoob]

Thank you very much :-)

[@Potti314]

These locks are pure fun - shiny, heavy, beautiful and a great pick. Throughly enjoyed watching :-)

[@LockNoob]

Thanks Potti314, it’s a really nice lock and it makes you work for the open :-) great fun :-)

[@Mur-lock68]

Stellar Display of picking Sir! That Rock knew full well as it rested in your skilled hands," NO CHANCE"!! Thanks for sharing!

[@LockNoob]

Thank you :-)

[@ArkamasRoss]

This is a gorgeous, absolute unit of a lock.

[@LockNoob]

Yup!

[@roysammons2445]

Great looking lock. Looked heavy too.
Very nicely picked LN. It had you dancing there for a minute but your shuffle won out in the end.

[@LockNoob]

Yes, a dance indeed :-) great fun :-)

[@pickbeard2690]

Super responsive spools.
A very nice lock to pick.
My favourite is the cutaway one I have.
You have made me want to revisit mine.
Thanks for sharing 😘😘👍👍😎😎🍺

[@LockNoob]

It’s a lovely pick; what’s the bitting like on yours? :-)

[@pickbeard2690]

I will send you a picture, but it does feature on one of my older video's

[@timbober1]

Beaut of a lock, good job picking in your hand. Looks heavy, thank you I appreciate your work

[@LockNoob]

It was quite heavy, so I was greatful it wasn’t too lengthy a pick :-)

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

I like Abus locks. Very easy to work with, a dream to rekey, can be made very secure, and lots of keying options.

[@LockNoob]

I completely agree - one of the best lock brands for the money IMO. :-)

[@eee2115]

How would you make this lock more secure? I'm thinking about buying one, but after seeing this (and other) videos of the picking, I don't know if I should buy it.

[@davidmcalevey6465]

Hi Lock Noob, I just popped my first abus 83 cherries. Strange part I was only concentrating on the tension and what was audible. Obviously I was rapt when I got it.

[@WilliamMancel]

Nice picking on that Abus. I have the IC version of that lock & it's one of my favorites.

[@LockNoob]

I can see why too :-) great lock :-)

[@chinobaldhead]

Great video and padlock and very nicely picked well done mate...

[@LockNoob]

Thanks :-)

[@agentdesneiges1445]

Incredible skill. I dont know why i am looking but thats impressiv.

[@LockNoob]

Thanks!

[@curthatt6461]

Great pick. Had to go back and forth to get that one.

[@LockNoob]

A sign of a well made lock :-) great fun playing spool ping pong:-)

[@Leonslockpad]

Well done my friend on a very nice lock👍😊👍😊😎😎

[@LockNoob]

Thanks Leon, it’s really great fun with those spools and tight tollerences :-)

[@thumperlockpicking9269]

[@LockNoob]

Thanks dude :-)

[@lockmania-locks]

Cool lock, and fast picking, great job.

[@LockNoob]

Thank you :-)

[@JimBailey]

Thank you Lock Noob

[@LockNoob]

No, thank you :-)

[@themadhatter4761]

Nice pick, beautiful padlocks 👍👍👍👍

[@LockNoob]

Thanks :-)

[@iggymac3473]

great job very nice lock

[@LockNoob]

Thank you :-)

[@CameronDunn]

Nicely done, the Rock is a gorgeous lock. I just wish they were more affordable!

[@LockNoob]

Me too! I was lucky to be leant this one :-)

[@doddgarger6806]

Can get them for $40

[@AalbertTorsius]

Leave the clip on, push that button, and you can rotate the core so that the key pins face the pinning window, so you can repin the core to another key. This mechanism allows for easy repinning. A lot of Abuses (Abi?) with removable cores have pinning windows.
Actually, you don't even need a follower. You can first remove the key pins through the pinning window, then use the core itself as a follower.

[@LockNoob]

Hmmm, that does sound well thought out, but I think I’ll practice on a lock I own... I can very well see me somehow bricking a perfectly good lock, lol.... I’m not exactly mr smooth when it comes to gutting :-D

[@thecrappylockpicker4696]

Never get tired of watching you pick locks if you don’t mind me asking how long have you been picking?

[@LockNoob]

Julian ward 2 1/2 years :-)

[@thecrappylockpicker4696]

Lock Noob hope I get half as good as you 8 weeks in and counting 👍🏻

[@LockNoob]

Well keep going! Don’t forget to take breaks too though :-)

[@georginaford7052]

That is a beautifully made lock sure enough. :-))

[@LockNoob]

It’s sooo shiny!

[@ajclark9939]

Great pick, I've been wanting to pick one of those, I thought it would be more difficult

[@LockNoob]

With more extreme bitting, this could be a WHOLE lot harder. I wa lucky :-)

[@72cmcinc]

Nicely done! Abus always seems to trip me up a bit.

[@LockNoob]

With more extreme bitting, they can be really hard, the Extra Classe in particular :-)

[@Dignity_2008]

@@LockNoob Hi locknoob, I recently bought one with pins 4 an 5 being nearly zero cuts and those in front of them, 1,2,3 seems to be high cuts… nearly as high that if you would go even higher there wouldn’t be any material left to hold the key together. Really nasty bitting on mine :D I didn’t managed to open this beast yet. I’m opening abus 72/40 and other locks more easily on a regular basis. If you know the Reddit belt classes, where would you rank the 83cs/55? Also I didn’t gutted mine yet, but Abus catalogues say they come 5/6 Pins mounted by factory. Really curious whether mine is 5 or 6 pin setup.
Great video as always ;)

[@chriscapune7873]

Nice picking!!
Greasy feller!!

[@LockNoob]

Super greasy lol :-)

[@DonzLockz]

Great lock, picked pretty quick too. That shim went in too easy though. 🍺😎

[@two_tier_gary_rumain]

I don't think the shim was even needed.

[@LockNoob]

I wa s greatful it did! I wanted a smooth gutting on this - really didn’t want to fork the lock! :-)

[@RookieLock]

I gotta get a rock one of these days

[@LockNoob]

Me too! :-)

[@87TV]

for someone whos not a pro like you how hard would it be to pick this lock

[@drew2tall505]

First what time is it where you are here it is 315 good episode

[@LockNoob]

It was just past 08.00 when I posted this I think :-)

[@eee2115]

How would you make this lock more secure? I'm thinking about buying one, but after seeing this (and other) videos of the picking, I don't know if I should buy it.

[@LockNoob]

Depends on what you are using it for I guess

[@eee2115]

@@LockNoob thanks for the reply. Would be to secure a generator, but I think I have moved on from this particular lock. Thinking the Granit plus core might be a better fit for me. Hopefully harder to pick since it uses discs, not pins.

[@davidmcalevey6465]

By the way I still only have flat tools ie window wiper steel.
