nice, I have installed 1000s of these... I did Doors for ten years and just picking up on Picking and such.. thinking about a new venture in a business

I'm so glad all your content is still up. Six years on, this is the single best video about bypassing commercial latches. Miss you Bill! Hope all is well.

Great video, I'll have to buy those to add to my tool box.As a licensed locksmith I've had many years of honing my lock picking skills but it never hurts to have tools like the ones in the video.Great video Bill, thank you and God bless you and your family.

For clarification, when you push in the smaller "locking bar" you are not disabling it. The strike plate is supposed to push it in & the larger tapered latch is supposed to protrude into the strike cavity. This activates the dead-latch function preventing the latch from being pushed in. If the gap between the door edge & the strike plate is too large, the locking bar will not be pushed in far enough & then the latch can be pushed in with no resistance.

This is equal amounts awesome as a hobbyist and frightening as a homeowner. Thanks Bill.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO BILL! There are no other videos for this tool that go into this much detail

[NoctisMotus]

Nice! Finally I understand how that tool is supposed to work. Thank you.

The more I watch and learn, the more I find myself looking at every lock that's around me, be it at work or home, and I start to think of the locks in terms of how easy they can be defeated... Which also means that I also have found myself seeing some very common locks looking more like a slight annoyance to a thief/ criminal more then an actual safety measure or way to protect something.

Out Of all of your cool intros, I like this one the best. Best intros I've seen on YouTube. That little part at the beginning where the lock lab logo is displayed.

The "locking bar", as you call it, is the deadlatch bar. When the lock is in a door and installed correctly, that bar is pushed in to prevent shimming or loiding the latch. Bill, you exactly show that at 1:48 but you never have the bar pushed in after that.
If it is not pushed in, the latch is not deadlatched and it can be loided back to gain entry.

I am more and more happy that we have Abloy locks here in Finland.

Great tool. I've never seen one like it I really didn't see the need for one because these cylinders are so easy to pick. Or drill out if need be. I'm sure a higher security cylinder would probably be to tough to get the bypass tool through. But I appreciate the creativity of this method. Great for the o'l knowledge bank. (FYI. I am a locksmith )

[PaulieShortcuts]

Looking for a good lock for my home, I was worried until 8:22 when you said a steel plate would stop a shim...but then you showed how to bypass that. Maybe I need one of those 18” plates.

[mariustancredi]

One little metal plate at the end of the key way will fix this vulnerability.

Hello bosnianbill another great video. This technique only works on doors that swing out. If the door swings in then the shimming will not work with the Souber shimming tool because of the rabbit of the door frame.

[pwnjhn]

What was the name of the shim tool you use? The one you said you bought from Lockpick Canada? I am not able to find it, and not able to fully hear what you call it.

[beageek]

This is a great Teaching and technique video. I want to see more of these. Best Regards, BAG2

Seems like a simple solution for the lock manufacturer would be to seal the back of the chamber?

[SmokeElectronics]

Nothing a little brazing on the back of the plug cannot stop :)
That works on american cores as well just have to touch the tip of the key with a file if there is too much material in the plug.

very clear video and loving the bypass tool !
