[628] Ultion Euro Profile Cylinder Picked and Gutted

[Locksmiths]

I’m an approved stockist for this lock. The passive pins drop down when the lock is the correct way up. It’s designed to withstand sustained attack. Thieves don’t use picks in the UK. It’s all lock snapping.

We’re just job smacked at the precision & speed every Lock you do
Great review & gutting we’ve been interested in this lock for a while due to the UK hype & rubbish reviews on picking them Thanks LPL ✅

I have three of these locks securing the doors of my house. Seems like I made a solid choice so long as Billy Burglar isn't an artisan locksmith. 👍🏻

That lock is definitely what you need in the UK. I have a crap Yale brand Euro lock but it has decent snap protection. Snapping is the technique of choice... But yeah as some other guys observed, you picked it upside down making it way easier I suspect. I'd be interested to see you pick it the way it would be oriented when installed. In any event UK burglary is all brute force and ignorance and let's not forget you are probably the best lock picker on Youtube, not the average UK burglar!

An interesting lock. Considering all the good engineering, it's a shame they didn't spend a few more cents on ... better pinning.

The anti-drill department not speaking to the anti-snap department not speaking to the anti-pick department.

fascinating to watch a master locksmith at work . Rarely see this level of craft skill in any field these days. Excellent presentation too

The most common forced entry in the uk is snapping the euro cylinders as with the right tools its quick. This is still a good lock to protect against this method of attack.

Another fantastic LPL autopsy. I have just started lock picking and quickly discovered the contrasting delights of Bosnian Bill and the Lock Picking Lawyer. This is an interesting lock, look at that core! Beautiful. I would be happy to have this on my own door as it has great protection from the typical attack vectors used by criminals. It's nice to see MI5 will be able to come and go as they please

To be fair, most attacks on Euro-format cylinders are going to be snapping attacks, because if you have the tool you need almost no skill to use it. Drilling next, no skill required but can be noisy. Picking least likely, because that needs skill.

Of course, if this lock became very common then burglars would have to learn picking skills and then other locks would be a better choice. Right now, for all its faults, it might be the best of a bad choice. Not great, not good, but not as shit as the rest in terms of vulnerability to the most common attacks.

Youve got the lock upside down - in the UK they are fitted with the core at the top and the pins and springs at the bottom.

One thing I have certainly learned from this man:
If you pick with the right tools, nothing can stop you from opening the lock.
Forget trying to break in, he never ever accepts that as an answer and is illegal. He never drills. Never used a rake gun. Does it by hand. Every bit of it. I love how precise he is. I am learning locksmithint because of him. He makes this look easy and kind of relaxing. I have been lockpicking my own locks so I can get into them myself. And my dads 50, 000 lock collection with 5, 000, 000 keys. I have been able to attain what I need with this knowledge with a tyrannical 6 year old on the mix. This man the LPL is very informative. I appreciate it.

I had the key snap on me in one of these locks (a long story). The locksmith tried a drill first, when that didn't work he went onto a die grinder, it took more than 20 minutes to get through it. I was happy to have another one of these replace the original.

[CleanFinish]

Wow, I’m amazed how quickly they went, I have the ABS avocet 3 which took you much longer and was far more complex, it’s one of the longest picks I have seen you do, this one was alarmingly easy. I’m sticking with ABS for now.

[clairedeyes]

A lot of thought has been put into that lock. Wow. I started picking a few months ago after seeing LPL on youtube. Envious of his skills. Im mot sure i could open the locks he does if i had the keys.

[ianhenry]

Absolutely. Beautiful lock, excellent demonstration how to, thank you

[MicroRCFiend]

I know you already picked it at least once but your speed is very humbling. Looking at the pins, i'm curious why it didn't take a lot longer.
Big fan, massive respect from the UK.

[georgeliquor]

Great pick, you make it look so easy, over here in the uk snapping is the main attack method, i suppose Brisant think its not worth bothering with anti pick protection but if this lock is so easy to pick then criminals may consider learning pick techniques which is a bad thing. I may change to a different manufacturer like Mul t lock to ensure the security of my customers.

[waynep]

i wonder what would happen if you changed the anti bump stronger spring to a piece of silicone oring with a cross section of 0.104 and cut to length so you can just barely load the top pin into the shell.. that might make it actually pick proof and bump key proof as very few if any picks would be strong enough to lift the last pin to the shear line with a pick.. just a thought.. i know that most viewers here love to unlock locks.. i love to lock them securely.. Gerry L. Finch was a friend of mine.

[asteroidsonsteroids]

Well now I'm dying to see it drilled. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen a demonstration on Youtube or elsewhere of just how well or not well all these anti drill measures work.
