 This is Alex again with a non-hicking video But this lock this multi lock. I don't know what model exactly off of eBay. There's the show a while back a long time ago. It was a really unaccomplished picker and Pardon us. I'm doing this completely freehand and I've been unable to pick it and So last night I was working on it and Just trying to pick it and I thought to myself what would Bill do? What would what would but Bosnian bill do and I think what he would do after? You know Really trying everything he could he probably wanted to take it apart and figure out what was going on So what I did was I tried shimming it and we saw I had another Video on shimming, but there's the shim that finally worked and you'll notice I cut a Sort of you Or v-shaped I can get him to oh there we go thing on the end there That ended up working and these multi locks what you have are pin-in-pin type system Right, so as I'm coming in with the shim focus will stay where it's at I am shimming First this larger pin Come on focus. There we go, and then shimming the inner pin And I found that it just worked better if I had this little The notch in there that seemed to grab it better and you're less likely to dislodge Now we get the first three pins, so you're shimming from the back from the rear of the lock I got this one get this one. This was pretty tough You can see here just for information This pin here is sort of basically regular top pin. Let's see we get to macro That's pretty good That's a regular pin. That's a mushroom. That's basically a regular pin That's a mushroom or a hybrid spool of some kind, and then that's a regular pin This mushroom here on number four second from the back happens to be on a very long key pin and a very long center pin and Unlike all the other key pins, and I don't know if you can actually has a very small ridge in there I don't know if that's just from where or if that's a meant to be like a light serration or something anyhow very hard to shim I Got through The first three pins this one this one this one, and I got to pin number two and I would get stuck And I said well, you know I've reduced it to a to basically a two-pin or four-pin lock. I should be able to pick it Didn't couldn't pick it and I Finally after many more hours of shimming and fiddling with different shims. I finally got the bloody thing open And here's what I found The first thing I found was I was staring into the plug And let me reassemble the Pin the way I found it and you will immediately understand what I'm talking about I've got the plug out. I'm feeling very happy Because I finally got the lock open and I'm staring down into the plug And this is what I see This is what I see There now maybe kind of so but If you look at the top of the center pin You'll notice that it's not flat. It should be flat the reason it's flat is that it has a little a Little flat area that's a little bit wider than the pin and it keeps the pin from falling all the way through keeps it sort of captive inside the bottom pin and When I pulled this thing out I can get it into focus There we go and in high def you should be able to see that you can see that the pin is actually upside down in The though the center pin is upside down in here And then let me show you what I'm talking about if I can do this without dropping it on the floor That's what this That's what this bottom pin looks like you can see that end is curved and that end is just flared a little bit Now interestingly Yeah, you know it could work, but it doesn't If you look at this thing When it is seated and fully raised in there. There's still a hole It doesn't come up to the It doesn't come up to shear line Which means there is no pick and there is no key that could have opened this lock Which might be the reason that the gentleman was selling it on eBay to begin with for a very reasonable price So I now feel a little less bad about my picking abilities and When I assemble the pin correctly with the with the key pin in there The way it's supposed to be at the right focal length You can see that in fact it is possible to raise the thing to the shear line Right and be able to pick the lock. So I feel a lot less bad about my Picking abilities now. There we go. I found one other weird thing when I was Working on this lock So I was trying to find anything. Maybe there was some bizarro security feature that I didn't know about or you know some Israeli you know secret thing in there that had eluded me and What I found was if you look into the Plug and this is the if you look into chamber number two, that's the front of the lock Okay, from the block back of the lock. There's something else weird in here But I'll show you that in a minute if you look into page in chamber two there You see this little silver thing and This little silver thing is a detent. It's a spring-loaded pin which extends into No, let's see if I can Really mess up the camera If I turn that light on You can see him sticking out right there at the bottom. It's not really in focus, but Because the camera is really confused, but you see that little shadow at the bottom. That's that pin sticking up So what I suspect is that that's for some kind of active element now Well, I don't know if that's the normal place for like an empty five plus or one of those type of locks but Thought that was kind of interesting turns out it has nothing to do with the There's no walking mechanism integrated into that if you look at the plug which over Lee is right there Focus Macro there we go There's no there are these side holes with purpose for which I have no idea but It's just you know standard issue plug another interesting fact is that the the warding and There is warding is right there on the right right in here Okay, right there. It's pretty much flat across the top except for that goofy pin But if you turn it this way If you can see oh, yeah, that looks awesome It's only on the last two pins kind of weird completely completely normal all the way through Then only the last two pins. Maybe that made broaching a thing easier And you've also got all these little ridges in here purpose for which I don't really know and Just to finish out and be for completeness. There are anti-drill pins here and here and in the shell There are anti-drill pins here and right there Okay, and I think in the plug there was one other one. Yeah There's actually pins Here and there I used to further frustrate drilling into that Interestingly one of these pins looks like it's made out of brass, but that just could be an optical illusion at any rate I think I'm gonna put this back together now and try to pick it and if I can pick it reliably I'll try to do it on camera. I just let you find that interesting. So caveat amp tour when you're buying things on eBay You may get some kind of really messed up lock that you can't pick and it may actually be because It's broken Just to give you an idea of the other difficulties you may face on this type of lock happy You got a mushroom shape you've got a spooled end and then it's a little hard to see but the end of the center driver The driver that runs that middle pin or the inner pin is also spooled and every single one of these top pins is like that Every last one of them and in fact the top of the The top of the little center pins themselves is sort of spooled With that little detent so it's kind of a pain in the ass Even to get them to set you get some very interesting false sets in there so And so there you go so multi lock fail but I feel less bad about it because You know the lock was basically broken so I'm gonna put it back together try to pick it and See what happens. I'll let you know. Anyway, thanks for watching This is Alex Keep it legal and have fun. Cheers
