How to Open Tubular Locks

Показать описание

I show how tubular pin tumbler locks work and how they can be opened using tubular lockpicks. A tubular pin tumbler lock, also known as an ace lock, circle pin tumbler lock, or radial lock, is a variety of pin tumbler lock in which six to eight pins are arranged in a circular pattern, and the corresponding key is tubular or cylindrical in shape.

Tubular locks are commonly seen on bicycle locks, computer locks, elevators, and a variety of coin-operated devices such as vending machines. Tubular pin tumbler locks are generally considered by the general public to be safer and more resistant to picking than standard locks. This is primarily because they are often seen on coin boxes for vending machines and coin-operated machines. However, the primary reason the locks are used in these applications is their lack of the depth requirement that most other locks require.

Such locks can be picked by a special tubular lock pick with a minimum of effort in very little time; it is also possible to defeat them by drilling with a hole-saw drill bit. Standard tubular-lock drill bit diameters are 0.375 in (9.5 mm) and 0.394 in (10.0 mm). To prevent drilling, many tubular locks have a middle pin made from hardened steel or contain a ball bearing in the middle pin.

While the process is simple and can be mastered with practice, lockpicking requires a great deal of patience. It can be a hobby as well as a practical skill. Locksmiths define lock-picking as the manipulation of a lock's components to open a lock without a key. To understand lock picking you first have to know how locks and keys work. Most locks are based on fairly similar concepts but they do come in all shapes and sizes, with many design variations. This is for educational purposes only.

Lock picking is the art of unlocking a lock by analyzing and manipulating the components of the lock device without the original key. In addition, ideal lock picking should not damage the lock itself, allowing it to be re-keyed for later use, which is especially important with antique locks that would be impossible to replace if destructive entry methods were used. Although lock picking can be associated with criminal intent, it is an essential skill for a locksmith, and is often pursued by law abiding citizens as a useful skill to learn or simply a hobby. The move towards combination locks for high security items such as safes was intended to remove the weakest part of the lock: its keyhole.

That background music has got to go!!!! Good info....if only you could hear it!

Your background music is way too loud, it's hard to heard what you were saying

Great video, I agree with others, no music, quieter music, or less intrusive music would be great. I would personally like to see the frames with pictures and labels stay onscreen longer as I had to go back and pause on each to take it all in. Seems so simple to pick these locks, the local locksmith shooed me away with my lock... And I have to wonder, don't older pop machines have these locks, seems like theft would be so easy.... I have heard mention of a variable spring version, is the method for picking the same?

I bought such a kit online but my lock key has a lower diameter than the smallest lockpick tool in the box (7mm) mine is like 5.5mm diameter...
Do you know another similar tool i could use??

Tubular locks can come with up to 12 pins and more sometimes (pin-in-pin).

Great video. Very informative. The audio is an issue that you already know about. Some video creators feel the need to add music. In my opinion it is almost always a mistake. I'd rather hear a pin drop, and the picker fart, than some loud TV in the background, but the narrator is still saying something. Music almost always is a personal preference. I like all kinds of music, but when I am trying to learn something, lose the music entirely. it's just audio jamming, confusing the message. Music at any level, of any kind, is just something I have to Wade through to get to the information someone was trying to convey, but desides to add some usually shitty music track to.
Just my two cents. If you have sub titles, then I'm going to use that and turn off the audio, loosing the narrators voice along with it. Kind of defeats the purpose of making an instructional video. I am 60 years old and I like Rap/Hip Hop. A lot of people who are into lock Picking might hate Rap music. If I make a video about lock Picking a Tubular Lock for example, and I crank up my stereo to something loud, and maybe appealing to a small percentage of the audience, and I also try to yell over this while the bass vibrates my lock Open, using "light tension". I exaggerated of course, and this is not directed at you. it just that you specifically mentioned the audio and it reminded me of so many videos I have watched that could have been perfect, except the Creator desides to become extra creative, and destroys the whole intent in the process.
whew, that was a long rant... 😂😂😂

Yeah so what do I do if I’m trying to stick the key in and it’s not going in?

Aoi-The-Duck

Yeah ..but can u open a series 65 camlock ??

stevesirak

Shouldn't all pins have the same stiffness? How do the needles get depressed to the correct height?

Is it even possible to pick an Ace II since the pins require different amounts of tension? Another issue with this particular safe of mine... is that I had to apply some force even when I still had the key, pushing in on the door and almost lifting upward.. so frustrating. Yes, I've attempted single pin picking and am simply having the same problem, and I cannot find the right tension wrench to use... please help.
