[69] How to Pick a DUO High Security Lock (Plus Two DUOs Picked)

The DUO is a UL437-rated lock. That means it is certified to withstand 10 minutes of picking with commercially available tools. In this video, I explain how I pick these locks in a fraction of this time, and pick two of them in about 2 minutes each. Watch to learn how you can do this also! Good luck.

I just have to personally thank you for this content. Granted I’m a bit of a learning freak, but over the last 2-3 months while working full time I’ve managed to pick up locksport as a hobby and pick not only a duo because of your videos, but mul-t-lock jr’s (got an interactive on the way and looking for a cheap mt5), some cheaper disc detainer locks, Yales/Federals/Abus and things with security pins, etc.

It seems pretty much any lock I’ve found I can watch your videos (and maybe a few other tubers - shout out to new my fav Artichoke2000) and get the important info about how they work. It’s amazing how much knowledge you have.You’ve made a new hobby all the more exciting so thank you!!!

Came here half way through 2020 just to say "NICE"

Cool !! I just got a old crusty one in the mail today without a key. I soaked it up in kerosene over night and blew it out with compressed air and gave it a drip of 3in1 oil... it must be a older duo, the housing is identical but the plate and core on the bottom is offset and has a drain hole on one side..
Wish me luck 😁

I came to say nice, left knowing that his script was exactly the same as it is now.

You're the first channel I came to when this lock came to me. I opened it thanks you.

Now that I just received one of these in the recent secret santa I’m back here to figure out where the hell to start from. Thanks again for making this mate. (:

I know this is an older video, but it was instrumental in helping me to pick open my newly acquired Chicago Duo today. It took a while for me to get it open but I knew what to do and what to expect. Thank you.

Really pretty impressive watching you pick, its like the casing is invisible to you!

I just purchased one of these cam locks! Very tricky pick! Have yet to get it, so I am here to learn!

[MaryAnnNytowl]

I guess I'm not the only one who went back to say N I C E

Was the Duo considered to be very pick-resistant, back in the 1960s and 70s? After an attempted break-in to my NYC apartment, around 1966
(they almost got in, but were scared away, I think, as the knob came off in my hand, and I reached through the hole to open the door!),
a locksmith installed a Duo cylinder in a new lock, and it never happened again. The lock was still fine when I left in 1971.

Ahh, looks like you have one similiar here.

Like I said, I have stacks. hahaha.

I have access to 199 keyings of these as well and we can destroy them to learn more.

Waiting on one of these in the mail... this info will come handy... thanks.

I've seen some wafer locks with a back wafer that the key doesn't interact with, that is the locking wafer and it holds the core in, a lock pick can depress said wafer and pull the core out, I discovered it by accident when I was picking a cabinet lock for a friend.

[TheDavesnothere]

Awesome instructional video.
It's quite possible you just triggerred a run on eBay Duo's.

[dre-explores]

Of course it's LPLawyer that brings photo "exhibits" to his instructional video, presenting the "evidence" to his "jury of peers" to convince them that the lock is guilty.

[javidpatel]

Amazing and very informative totally educational video I have a duo il have to give it a go
