I think it would be nice to make a review on your end all set of picks bypasses and tension tools. I'm just saying that because you brought out that really nice looking pick set out. :)
Bill has done reviews on, or discussed a number of the tools shown in his kit. Padlock combs, American lock bypass wafer buster, plug spinner, etc... But, it would be pretty sweet to see a front to back walk-through of what everything is/does! Maybe an idea for a video series! 🤞
Actually, if by any chance You still read comments, I really hope that everything is great in Your life and that Your new "job" brings You a lot of joy. All the best champ
Just watching this out of nostalgia during the holiday season 2021; if you check these Bill I hope you and the new family are doing well this holiday season. The first Christmas after a loss can be tough as it’s such a family focused holiday; I wish you all the best. 🎄
i fell asleep at the computer last night and had a dream where you had some kind of meet-up, and there were like 5 other people at your lock lab. i remember there was a lock that was getting stuck somehow and i was convinced a shim would make it open. i kept fiddling with the key and was embarrased because i wanted to impress you by opening it. i dont remember anything else though. i want to say i think there was a beach involved? it might have morphed into another dream at that point
What I want for Christmas, Bosnian Bill to make a couple of videos for Christmas and New Years. I sincerely missed out on him releasing new content as a new picker. LockPickingLawyer got me watching but with all sincerity it was BosnianBill and LockPickingNoob who gave me the confidence to buy my first Sparrows pick set and start with padlocks 🔒. So far I’ve shimmed locks, bypassed locks, and city raked locks. Please come back to us some day Bosnian Bill.
I always think, what a clever kitty bill has, he can even knows to talk into the microphone! At least on this particular ending bumper. Am I the only one?
guess that chocolate lock might be susceptible to heat attacks...of the mouth kind. thank you for all of the time you put into your content. Have an amazing 2019
Where did you get your case in this video? It looks like the perfect case to organize all your tools. I also notice that you have a traveler's hook for getting through door latches, very nice. I have one as well.
Good luck with the mortal combat Bill, and the nephews! I would hope by now, your brother-in-law would know not to mess with you, but some folks have to learn the hard way! Thanks for the video Bill, and a happy new year to you and yours!
While the only warded locks that are built today are made to allow stamped keys, and can thus be operated by straight skeleton keys, I would think that it would be possible to make a cheap warded lock that would require an attacker to impression a custom key or have a large set of "try-me" keys by designing most of the mechanism to use a key with a thick "blade" but (assuming the blade of the key starts vertical) having it pass through plates that would require that the actuating tips have slots ground 55% of the way through from the left or right. If the warding reached more than 50% of the way through the blade, it would be impossible to make a skeleton key with slots on both sides because there would be nothing holding the tip of the actuating portion to the rest of the key. If a company were to do that, do you think you could open that as quickly as a typical pin-cylinder lock with security pins but nothing exotic like the Medeco swivel pins, etc.?
Absolutely! It is such a good idea that someone actually did it about 100 years ago. The design is so successful that it is still being done today for high security locks. We don't see them too often here in the US, but in Russia, Bulgaria and Poland they are commonly seen on people's front doors. Also, Abus has done this (I think in their Alpha) and in Europe this design is used on bank vaults with VERY long keys - sometimes 300-400mm long! THAT would be really difficult to pick.
@@bosnianbill I know that's how warded locks used to be made. The "problem" was that if one covered a key blank with lamp black, one could determine where it needed to be cut. While that was definitely a weakness, I would think the time required for an attacker to do that would exceed the time required to defeat most common locks, and laminated warded locks should be really cheap and easy to make. Maybe the existence of crummy warded locks, like the existence of crummy number-dial locks, has resulted in a lack of interest in producing quality warded locks.
Those looked like vents to me, but I don’t see why there’s be three vents. Definitely an artifact of the casting process, along with the seam. I’d be surprised if hitting it with a hammer broke it on the seam, though. In warm conditions I’d expect it to fail at the thin part next to the shackle, and in cold conditions I’d expect a corner to break off whole, or at least crack badly. I do agree that a few blows with a small hammer would open an aluminum lock body like that. But two wrenches prying the shackle apart would be quieter and faster.
Hi there. I was wondering if you could do an update on how you are after that one dude slit your throat? I was VERY worried when I saw some swine had attacked you. How long did he go down for? Life I hope? Love from the UK.
Everything is back to normal. I'm back on full duty and left with nothing but the scar and memory. The perp is still awaiting trial and could remain in that status for a very long time. Heck, I'll probably be retired before he goes to trial, and by then his lawyers will have it pleaded down to littering.
Why am I afraid Bill's babysitting technique is to chain the kids up with some Pewag and a Mul T Lock, hand them a pick set and then check on them every few hours?
happy new year big boss,I know you are busy but I want to show you a picture of a lock which I am interested to learn about its mechanism .I don't know how to send it's picture to you, maybe you can help me to know how should I send it to you. or maybe you can start a forum in lock lab's site so your fans can share a thing or two with you, like their personal tricks and new ideas. so if there is a better way to contact please let me know. this will help many of your fans like me to learn more. thank you
for what they are, yea they can be a little expensive. sparrows has a nice set of them for 12 CAD ($9 USD), and shipping to the USA from canada is only $4.50 which is damn good. sparrows IMHO has the best quality for price
I got two 11 pin ruko padlocks and a ruko d12 and a Yale y210/51 padlock, and a 16 pin ruko, and a 6 pin ruko and 3 euro cylinder's for Christmas and i made a video where i show Them all
Why are warded lock picks so shitty? You can twist them really easily. Why doesnt anyone sell real keylike, solid metal warded picklocks? They're all mostly garbage.
When I was in Jr. high back in the 70's I found that Slaymaker locks could be opened by filing down all the bidding except the end one. That looks to be the same type.

It would be cool but probably take forever lol

This is the video that got me into lockpicking. Thank you for being such an inspiration and all-around swell dude. Have a happy retirement, Bill.
It's been so long since You stoped recording Your videos, but still people revisit them. You were and always will be my No1 lock sport chanel
Actually, if by any chance You still read comments, I really hope that everything is great in Your life and that Your new "job" brings You a lot of joy. All the best champ
I just opened my first lock thanks to this video. Awesome. I’ve done it three more times in the last minute. Thank you so much!
That sounds like a lovely vacation; rafting down the Gambia River till your eyes bleed.
Love the tool case. Is it still available and who sells it? Thanks.
I appreciate this video, as basic as it was. It was something I never thought about. It's the simple things that you miss. Thank you.

Haha, you crack me up, Bill. I'm in the UK but never seen that chocolate padlock before. Awesome gift.
Love the rave finger light you used XD

Cheep and kast, shuld be ez. Happy new year Bill, thanks for all the great videos. You have taught me a lot.
Just started learning and your channel is very helpful when I run up against something new!
Great video bill, gonna have to get myself a set of these, could be useful in a "just in case" sense.
Aha. I needed this bit of info. Found a set of warded picks for $9.95 and I'm golden.
Just ordered one from Southord.
@@brendancarlson1678 how have those held up? Just purchased mine
@@AllMedia13 They work for me on occasion, I just never figured out the right technique.
Fun old,lock. Great pick.
So it a Choc-o-Lock....... Best wishes for new year Bill keep em coming.
Have a Happy and safe New Years! Cheers from Cape Coral Fl
It's just gone 12 here so it is now 2019 here in Australia. Happy new year Mr Bill. Nice video as always. 👍🤘🖖🍻

Hello bill. Could you show the keys in profile for us key cutters to understand. Thanks mate
I always think, what a clever kitty bill has, he can even knows to talk into the microphone!
At least on this particular ending bumper.
Am I the only one?
What pick case is that
guess that chocolate lock might be susceptible to heat attacks...of the mouth kind. thank you for all of the time you put into your content. Have an amazing 2019
Best wishes for a great 2019
Love the chocolate lock, happy new year.
I use to have that he on my keyring, the state used then on all the gates
Happy New Year Bill! Who makes your comb picks?
Pretty sure they are from Southord.
Happy New Year's Mr Bill, and family. Have a great New Year's
Very cool my friend happy new year 👍😊👍😊😎✌
What are you using to hold those warded picks together?
Where did you get your case in this video? It looks like the perfect case to organize all your tools. I also notice that you have a traveler's hook for getting through door latches, very nice. I have one as well.
Thanks...I did order a set of those. Railroad locks beware.
Hey Bill, Where did you get that nice pick case? I haven't seen it before and I like it.
Ebola for a cold?! Don't ever wanna tick-off BosnianBill!
could you do a video of opening a warded lock without the master keys? I haven’t seen anyone do that yet.
Nuther Gd Vid Mr Bill
Loving yer pickset Case ..how much and where From and a name of it as poss?
Thanks
Peterson Bookcase Lockpick Carry Case, I Believe. Couldn't find where I'm at though.
Thank you for the vid. Bill. Happy New Year, be safe.
Good luck with the mortal combat Bill, and the nephews! I would hope by now, your brother-in-law would know not to mess with you, but some folks have to learn the hard way! Thanks for the video Bill, and a happy new year to you and yours!
Happy New Year. I like your pick pouch. Where did you get it
It's this www.thinkpeterson.com/the-book-case-nylon/
Hi BIll, Happy New Years. What kind of case do you keep your by-pass tools in?
Thanks for making the informative tutorials. Do you have anything on Multi locks or American 2000 series?
What about skeleton keys? Do these warded keys work for those as well?
While the only warded locks that are built today are made to allow stamped keys, and can thus be operated by straight skeleton keys, I would think that it would be possible to make a cheap warded lock that would require an attacker to impression a custom key or have a large set of "try-me" keys by designing most of the mechanism to use a key with a thick "blade" but (assuming the blade of the key starts vertical) having it pass through plates that would require that the actuating tips have slots ground 55% of the way through from the left or right.

I almost did a spit take on that ebola crack.
I've opened similar locks with just my standard tensioner tool.
Wiener?
I got myself another Bi-Lock.👍🏽 Happy New Year Bill. 🍺✌😎🇦🇺
Bi locks are evil things!
That chocolate lever lock is funny and cool.
You might want to retink that ebola plan. Just a thought. :)
I imagine the fake rivits are a byproduct of the casting process, where the vents would have been. Could easily be wrong of course.
Could also be ejector pin marks
Those looked like vents to me, but I don’t see why there’s be three vents. Definitely an artifact of the casting process, along with the seam.

Oh ok thats what this is, got an old rusted masterlock 22 off a relative with no key here and didnt know what it was
So it is impossible to pick warded locks? All you can do is use theses skeleton keys then?
Can we see the bypass bag bill cool bag
That lock is gooood chocolate I got one shaped like a pistol same brand.
Did your brother get you Dengue Fever the year after that?
Why am I afraid Bill's babysitting technique is to chain the kids up with some Pewag and a Mul T Lock, hand them a pick set and then check on them every few hours?

Happy New Year Dark Arts....
I can’t help but wonder if the chocolock is functional.
I got a rock.

Gotta get me a few sets of those warded picks, but they are waaaay over priced !! 😪😪😫
for what they are, yea they can be a little expensive. sparrows has a nice set of them for 12 CAD ($9 USD), and shipping to the USA from canada is only $4.50 which is damn good. sparrows IMHO has the best quality for price
The ebola joke was nice. Respect
Anyone know what case that is?
I bought it from Peterson a few years ago. I don’t see it now on their website. Several people said they use DVD cases.
I love your videos bill keep up with good content coming hope the ebola plan works! hahahahahahah
hahaha..made short shrift of that erm..Hershey lite !!
I got a GSP Ghost set, finally not the shit set I was using from amazon.
I like the mortal combat prize.
THANKS! Peace All! *~- **
It would’ve been funny if the guy sent Reese’s candy instead of Hershey’s.
Ebola huh?? LOL! 😂😂🤣🤣
Wonder who won the mortal Kombat competition
I got a drone, a pagoda rake set and a set of auto jigglers.
You should try to pick it with the chokolade bar
OR Pick *ChocoLock* - (Chocolate Bar) - With TEETH! =D
@@kareno8634 that can also work
Reminds me of a Slaymaker.
That chocolate lock is almost too cool to eat.
I got two 11 pin ruko padlocks and a ruko d12 and a Yale y210/51 padlock, and a 16 pin ruko, and a 6 pin ruko and 3 euro cylinder's for Christmas and i made a video where i show Them all
The chocolate lock should be called chocolock.
Yeah...warded locks are a quick pick with skeleton keys.
so, 2 years late for the meme and bosnianbill wil become ugandanbill. heh
elbola chocolate locks
Why are warded lock picks so shitty? You can twist them really easily. Why doesnt anyone sell real keylike, solid metal warded picklocks? They're all mostly garbage.
Don't you like your nephews, Bill ?. Why would you give them Hershey's chocolate ?. It leaves an aftertaste like vomit.
