I picked my first Medeco

Website · by **Knowthebird** » 27 Dec 2006 4:34

Hey. I picked my first medeco lock today...
http://www.medeco.com/products/products ... ry_ID=225&

It was used in a safe, and it took me somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes. I was pretty proud of myself and wanted to share with someone, it was a nice ego boost for me

. I figure it took a while, but I'm just glad I could get it.

I was also curious how long it took anyone else their first time, and how long it takes them now?

Thanks for any and all replies
Ross K.

P.S. hope this is the correct forum, sorry ahead if I mixed em up?

when i first picked a medeco cam lock it took me ~35 mins, i can pick it now in 10-45 mins

Nice work. Soon one day it will be true for me. Look at all the things that locks protects.

Heavy Power Machinery

Minute 45 sec's- thats not including reading and how many time's i watched zke's vid before skyler shipped me one.

I agree helluva good feeling when you can look at the vitually pick proof and laugh.
There actually the more fun of the locks to pick I just waiting for a half decent price of a Primus Mortise then sit for a few weeks..probobly months to figure it out

yes, but is that a normal kik or mortise cylinder?

b/c the cam locks are a lot harder...

i can pick the kik i have in ~3 mins consistently(with rekeying).

From what i hear the Multi-T lock is "pick proof." Ive never heard medeco's were pick proof, but perhaps extremely pick resistant. Apparently you can bump a Multi lock, or pick it with special tools using some secret method. But I have never heard anyone confirm this, I dont know if any of you can agree with me.

A multi lock can be picked, just not easily. Also you can use a blank key, cut similar to a bump key, then use a foil impressioning method to open the multi locks

I have never seen a pin in pin lock defeated by the foil method. This discussion is getting towards the advanced level though so watch it.

Please, Lets try to keep this thread away from how secure a mul-t-lock is, that is a quick way to get this locked. My threads always manage to get locked, I hope this one doesn't have that fate.

Hey thanks for the replies. This gives me something to gauge myself with. One day I might buy some medecos and mul-t-locks to get some excellent practice, but I don't think I have the money. I will go browse ebay and froogle anyways.

What would be a good semi cheap lock, hard to pick, that I could/should practice on? (I will be looking at the other threads while I ask this :-)

Here and now I offer a crisp $100 bill for anyone who can provide a video of this being done with a popsicle stick. Lock must be properly keyed and be a mul t lock interactive. A complete video of the picking with popsicle stick and a strip down of the lock afterwords must be shown. Good lighting is a must and no time off screen for the lock cylinder. I have heard this old saying many times before but yet to believe it.

There is the offer on the table.

lol throwing down the gauntlet... let the games begin..

by **Krypos** » 27 Dec 2006 21:23

oh man.......

last time a challenge like this was put out, digital_blue was picking locks with bananas and someone (cant remember who though) was picking their nose with a hook pick.

this challenge might end badly.

and on a different approach, can you imagine what mul-t-lock will say when the public discovers their locks can be picking using a popsicle stick?!

man. this is gonna be good.

by **zeke79** » 27 Dec 2006 21:46

This challenge cannot end bad, if someone does it then they have $100 bux in their pocket and I have learned something new. Everyone is happy :wink:

.

I must say, no duplicating a key onto a popsicle stick either. This must be done just like the old popsicle stick impressioning tale goes which is just like the foil imression method only with a wooden stick.
