Unusual 'chain' lock

- Tim came across this unusual cylinder lock and key at a recent puzzle party, and was pleased to be able to buy one for his collection.
The lock does not seem particularly unusual, at least externally, but the key is definitely different - it does not look like a key at all. In fact, the straight section of metal has the key hiding inside, and it is - unusually - a totally flexible key. By itself it is too flexible to be inserted into the lock. But if you insert it into the lock, contained within the metal outer casing, you can then slide the plastic handle forwards, and the flexible key will be inserted into the lock.
The flexible key does have a traditional key shape to it, and there must be the traditional pins inside the lock for it to engage with. But because the key is flexible it means that the path that it takes as it is inserted into the lock is not straight. Presumably this increases the security of the lock.

"This is the Lockpicking Lawyer and today we're gonna pick this unusual lock in 3 seconds."
"I went to a puzzle party"
of course you did, Tim, of course you did.
+R0b0tR0ck You think he spotted that key in a large bowl, with other keys?
Skyrim's "requires a key to enter" doors explained.
you can never use the same key
Oh sure, when a key does it's "charming" and "extraordinary", but when I do it I'm a "disappointment".
Key goes in at an "S" shape, almost, to prevent someone from picking the lock. Seen some videos of professional lock pickers unable to pick it. Pretty neat invention for sure :)
Don't worry, Tim. It happens to all of us.
lool

It's pretty cool but I want to know more about these "puzzle parties" and how one gets invited to them
It truly is a puzzling matter.
Why don't I get invited to these puzzle parties.
"Puzzle Party"... this is why Tim is so cool.. I never get invited to puzzle parties.. :)
I saw this from bosnianbill first! Amazing how a lockpicker and a toy enthusiast can come together in very odd ways
came here because of Bosnianbill too.
Apparently this simple looking lock will defeat most locksmiths as the key doesnt go in straight and so it is difficult to line the pins and tumblers up at the far end of the lock without the specialised 'bendy' key.
Indeed some locksmiths are even reluctant to dismantle the whole thing as it is full of springs which are difficult to reassemble by hand.
Reminds me of last night with my wife.
Dream*
best comment evah.
MrMix3 Reminds me of last Dream with my Wife? Last night with my Dream?
FlyingWhaleHarooooo yes
rip in peace
Tim should do a reaction video on the comments section.
"Oh my..."
***** HeHh
This is the most suggestive key and lock I have ever seen.
BosnianBill showed this key in one of his videos a couple months ago. It's such an interesting twist on the classic lock and key!
I love Bosnian Bill!
Someone please send this to the Lock-Picking Lawyer!
WHY CAN I STOP WATCHING THESE. HELP
You haven't seen his "How to brainwash the masses" video I guess
://SyCx1 Productions
you mean all of them?
Kate Herreid the kind of combination you also get from those TV shows where people have found stuff on their attics and have them evaluated. On the dutch tv there is "Tussen Kunst en Kitsch" -- these are a lot like that show.
Oh.. why can't you stop watching them? Because they're bloody good.
'Tim came across this unusual cylinder lock and key at a recent puzzle party' There are definitely not enough puzzle parties going on any more
Grand Illusions The gear lever lock on one of my cars back in 1993 used this type of key. It's not unheard of. The advantage is it makes key duplicating very challenging due to the difficulty in holding the key still. Our tumbler wasn't wiggly, just straight; therefore this doesn't circumvent lock picking, only key copying.
"This is the Lock Picking Lawyer and today i'm helping Tim pick this interesting lock."
I saw this lock in some locksmith's channel and it looks awsome inside of lock, it's made of sort of rings or something. Awesome lock.
Unique locks and padlocks are honestly one of my favourite things, these are so cool!
Now that's what I call a "keychain"
CAUSION, dont pull it out like you just did. Use it like a syringe and press on the back while the key's still in the lock. Otherwise you'd easely break it
That sort of lock was on bosnianbill`s lockpicking channel a few weeks ago and its nigh on impossible to pick it
It might be a lock-picker's key. Check to see if the pins can be adjusted
Technically cool lock. Not really going to stop anyone determined mind. Heard about a robbery years ago, owner has a huge steel door for security. So the robbers just went through the wall instead!
Goes in stiff and comes out flaccid
I wanna be on a puzzle-party with Tim so badly!! :)
Cold open's back! Brilliant! :D
I have a very peculiar key, and I don't know how it works. It's a small metal bar, and when you push it against the side of the lock with a groove (no moving parts, all solid), you can pull the lock open!
+Richie Demo I wish I knew what you were talking about because right now I'm thinking this is either a joke about a crowbar, or a very esoteric key or puzzle.
That sounds like a magnetic lock. you put the metal bar on the side of the lock, correct?
yeah it is a magnetic lock
"Just after the new year I went to a puzzle party", only Tim ;D
It would be really cool if the chain key rolled up into the handle of the key instead of just the bar thing so it would be more compact
This would be a interesting check with the lockpickinglawyer
Very unusual indeed! I wish I'd have those on my doors and windows.
Im late to the party, but according to BosnianBill, you cant pick this lock. you can get the first pin, but after that, it banks too hard and you cant reach the other pins with regular picks.
I like the new ending graphics.
Now...where do I get a wiggly bump key?
great lock because the shape on the inside makes it much harder to pick
I saw this key from a youtuber who picks locks.
He gave up on picking it lol.
And that's where baby locks come from, dear.
the keyway inside the lock is wiggly going side-to-side, making this one hard-to-pick lock
"Just after the new year I went to a puzzle party [...]"
Wait wait how do I get invited to such a party
Why would this be any different than picking any other normal lock? The way a normal lock is picked is by rubbing the pins inside the mechanism hence why a key has rugged edges, to stimulate the pins. This key/lock doesn't take that factor away what so ever so the process remains unchanged.
+Kudo the chamber is zig-zag shaped
+jade because the actual pins are arranged in a left-right zig zag within; a straight key (or lockpick) wouldn't actually be able to fit all the way to the back. To reiterate, the zig zag is left right, not up down; if it were up-down it could certainly be picked by a normal lockpick
The idea of the key is to hide the profile on the teeth. As this gives lockpicks a good idea of the type of lock they will need to pick.
So the key has foreskin.. great
Can some1 name accurately what this type of key-lock mechanism is called? As someone interested in locksmithing and lock picking, I am very intrigued.
It sounds like it would be a very safe lock.
HA awesome out-tro!
wow that's a really cool design. How easily lock picked are these? Quite hard I'd imagine.
Lock picking lawyer be like “hold my wine”
I came here for the theremin, stayed for the accent!
Lots of comments about it being impossible to pick, but I don't see why, raking wouldn't work I agree, but that isn't picking proper anyway.
The issue is the keyhole bends like an S on the inside, keeping the rear pins away from your pick.
ShonkyLegs
And then someone makes an S-pick. Boom.
kmlkmljkl While I am sure you can pick this lock with enough effort, as you can with nearly any; I'm not sure I can imagine this S pick you're describing. I'm pretty sure that you can't insert an S into another S.
If it was a single curve, that would be easier to get around, but without a flexible pick (Which would basically be useless for applying tension on the pins) I don't see how you could get to the back of an S.
I've never seen any picks or rakes that are this shape, but if you could show me one, that would be cool. I can't imagine it though.
ShonkyLegs I've never had the chance to examine one of these locks, so can't claim anything other than assumption, but the the curve looks very shallow (by how bendy the key is) so getting to the back of the 'S' shouldn't be a major problem. Would love to have a play with one.
Bosianbill is a master lockpick, he reviews one of these. its unpickable
I like the new outro! I just wish you looked a bit happier in it though...
omg i was said out loud "OMG THAT'S SO COOL"
seems kind of like a novelty, I don't see this making the lock anymore secure. I guess it could be helpful in keeping the key's cut a secret...so it couldn't be 'stolen' just by looking at the cut on the key and reproducing it...but that sort of sheath could be added to any normal key.
+squirrelbong The key is wiggly like that for a reason. It's not because it's just a novelty thing the key barrel were the key is inserted is actually not straight and is zig-zagged left and right inside the lock. So a normal straight key can't actually fit in it. it makes this lock almost impossible to pick by any normal means.
+squirrelbong A This is one of the few recent designs that are almost impossible to pick.
0:26 We might as well stop commenting. The videos just speak for themselves now.
Dude said puzzle party.
Sounds nasty.
it goes in hard comes out hanging...eh?
Saw one of these locks a few months ago. they are supposed to be impossible to pick.
Chain KEY, helps to be more challenge to pick the lock.

I love Ryan Gerard. There. I said it. Plus this did is so cray
Lock from the Nile.
Oops, looks like Tim did an accidental repeat this week xD
Wow..... plain wow!!!
A puzzle party? Is there where everyone drops their keys into a bowl, and at the end of the night you pick a random key out?
Up next: Tim rubs it out...
