Very nice job on that beautiful lockwood, always love the extra tips, I do the same thing double checking that the lock works before getting the screw in
That is one of my favorite locks and the shackle pop and feel of the mechanics are so smooth and amazing. Remember this is the speedlocks lock of the quarter. How fast can you pick it? 🍻✌🏻🌶
Very cool looking lock 👍👍 I had not the chance to pick one yet. You did a very nice job on picking this 👏 Also a good safety advice for the reassembly. I do the same all the time 👌 prevented me from one or the other brick. Take care, cheers 🍻
Thanks for he view inside, great picking too, nice looking, what's in a name if the thing works! have great day, and i just passed along the assembly/test tip a few days ago, better to be safe than a brick.
I got a bunch of Americans at rock bottom prices and I am swapping with a guy in Australia for a couple of these along with a few other Lockwood cylinders. I usually am the one dishing out that advice on testing before final, but I got bit myself a few days back with an American S1100. I put the bible on the wrong side of the retainer. Luckilly that was still correctable, just had a bit less access to the keyway for picking the second time.
@@Dmaclocksportyou should try and get your hands on the many restricted cylinders Australia has.One is featured in LPL nastiest keyways which he cannot pick
This assembly tip is huge! The first American 1100 I gutted, i turned into a paperweight! Had i tried the key BEFORE inserting the retaining screw and locking it. I would not own two American 1100 locks!!!
I don't yet have any Lockwoods as they're difficult to find in the UK at sensible prices. I know very little about the brand and have been trying to find a good model that's representative of the brand. Yours seems to be fun so maybe I should look out for one of these.
Nice lock and Very well picked, as always. You should have done the Vegemite challenge?.. 🤢😆 I've got a cutaway 334B45 but I've only seen one other for sale on ebay and the bidding went a bit silly. I Just filmed a Paclock 90A-Pro pick, gut and reassembly and had a brain fart about how to reassemble key retaining padlocks with hardened core plates like American locks 😆 Cheers Dmac 👍🍻
Great video as ever bud. Looked like you were using quite heavy tension 😳 I always use fairly light tension on these but I'm gonna try and bully them now and see if it makes any difference 😃👌
I have watched 6 videos of these Lockwoods being picked. We have a lot of these padlocks in Australia. I have a Lockwood 334M45 in front of me now and I cannot get a Peterson Gem or a standard No1 down the warding without oversetting the preceding pins. It pushes up on ALL the pins just getting it to the back, as they are all long deep pins. A light/thin Hook pick bends if I use heavy tension. But light tension gives no feedback or allows the pins to reset themselves. I'm not helped by any of the videos so far. Very frustrating.
Have you made any progress? I just got an open on my 334B45, which was very satisfying because this is my first quality lock that I've picked. (By quality I mean that to buy it at Bunnings, I had to take the card to the service desk :) My lock has pretty extreme bitting. It goes 1:VH, 2:VL, 3:VH, 4:VL, 5:MH, where VH is very high, VL is very low, and MH is middle high. After struggling without any progress for a few sessions, I gutted the lock to see what I was dealing with. A couple of discoveries I have made: It's helpful to remove some of the pins and practice with just the remaining pins. I left in pins 2, 4, and 5, because I felt those were giving me problems. The second discovery: It's helpful with the core out to test each pin with your pick to see if what you are trying to do is physically possible. That is, can you lift each pin to the sheer line without lifting any of the others above the sheer line? In the end I got the open using my medium hook from my Covert Instruments beginner kit, picking from the shelf (like in this video). The hook was slightly too high, and I had to use a little bit of force to get it underneath pins 4 and 5. My short hook didn't work because it was too low to get pin 3 to sheer without oversetting pin 2.
@@dgphi Thanks for the help. I have opened a couple of ABUS locks using deep hooks. The Lockwood continues to defeat me. I just cannot feel the pin setting itself and there's no false set or movement in the lever that I can detect. I will keep trying.
@@stevephillips8719 You won't get any dramatic false sets because technically speaking you are always in a false set since all five pins are spools (at least on my lock). I do think it's really worth gutting the lock to inspect the internals. If you haven't done it before, it's not too hard. You just have to watch a tutorial or two, and go slowly the first few times so that you don't lose any pins or springs. All you need is a plug follower. Pinning tweezers and a pinning mat are also very helpful. I have the Sparrows resin plug follower, tweezers, and mini pinning mat. I struggled with the feel too. When I took out two of the pins, I still struggled getting an open with just the three remaining pins. It took a little while to develop the feel. The technique is to lever the pick off the warding shelf. If you look at 4:24 in the video where he is holding the core in his hand, if you imagine inserting the pick in the keyway there and poking around at the key pins, you can do a dry run of picking the lock by lifting each pin to the sheer line. That will tell you if you have the right pick for the job.
I can only speak for this model but yes, if you can get it for a reasonable price, these padlocks are awesome. Fun to pick and very well made. Nice all round

Handsome lock that.
Such a great padlock 🤩
Indeed. I feel lucky to get my hands on one 😁👍🏻

@@DmaclocksportI just took the plunge. Lockwood 334B45 ordered. Over £50 on one lock. I must be mad.

Surprising, there were only 5 pins inside 😮 I thought these had 6 pins and with that, they qualify for blue belt.
Hey fella I live in England too been interested in lockwoods is it worth the trouble of getting one ?

Want one so bad, sucks that they are so expensive to get over in the states lol
Pretty expensive here too. I was lucky enough to get this from a secret padlock dealer under the counter. Very hush-hush 😆👍🏻
