 Hey gang, well, I got something a little I think unusual today and my travels on eBay. I came across this tubular axial rim mortise cylinder by our friends at Ilco. I'm sure we've all seen the tubular sort of cam type things with these keys And you've seen this kind probably on arcade machines things like that. They also make them with better electronic switches You may see that kind. Maybe I'll pick one of these in a bit This one is a rim cylinder though so you can see designed to go in a door just like any Quick setter in your favorite Rim cylinders, so I was going to attempt to pick it. I haven't even touched this thing yet other than With the keys so just to show you it does work function with it with the key. Here we are Spins around okay Make sure it's nice and tight. All right, so what I have here is your Southward tubular lockpick the seven pin version. I've zeroed the feelers And they talk about the tension on these things It really depends on the lock and I'm about to find out so you get to see my trial and error But I find that when it's just barely finger tight this little groove here Finger groove lines up with that Allen screw so I typically will go just a little bit further and then kind of use that as an index as I'm going So what we do is we find the top which is where the screw is We stick it in here and that looks horrible on TV So we'll turn it this way and then what we do is we press in lightly and just kind of jiggle and as we jiggle the Tool itself essentially does a self-impressioning of the lock Now depending on the how the How good a job I did on the tension there we are it'll open and Well, it's open one notch, but It got me So let's see if we can Fix it. So what I'm doing is just sort of pressing all these in just a little bit and see if I can get it to Come on back If not may have to just go again at any rate. I got it one notch So now it won't work with the key. Well, let's just start again Let me zero this thing back out. So you just press it down. You can't see what I'm doing So As I said the tension matters what I would have normally done is locked this thing down So what I'm gonna do is go a little bit further than I did before on the tension find the top Line it up with the notch on the lock and we're just sort of doing a rocking motion in and out light pressure on the pins Um And if everybody cooperates it will Hopefully Up bang in for me Okay, I can fit there now. I've got it just so it turned. Okay, so The all of the little feelers are in just the right spot. So I'm gonna do is crank the hell out of this thing So it doesn't move And then put it back in and just show you it. Hopefully still working Okay, so there it goes and I can spin it Spin it around like that. That's all there is to it. These little tools are I don't know if it's binding on something or what there it is It's not perfect. These little tools are I don't know we got a pair of them for 100 something dollars off of Southwards website very good quality Much better than those Chinese ones One of the cool things is I don't see if I can get a close-up view of this thing If you can see the little Notches there, but you can actually take a gauge and read off the bidding And then you could make your own key from that So anyhow, it's kind of a neat feature if you have done like I've done and bought some of these online and They come with keys. So anyway, I've never seen one in this form factor before but uh illco Axial room mortise cylinder Um multi pin packed we'll say with one of these cool tools.
