Medeco cam lock picking video

by **lockpickroy** » 30 Oct 2006 2:16

This is the first medeco lock I have practiced on. I can open it consistently in 3 seconds to a minute with a “rake” or hook it’s a 5 pin cam lock. Thank you to all the Great lock pickers on this forum who I look up to and owe thanks to! One thing that I hope will help someone who has not picked one (yet) is I noticed when the lock is naked (without the shell) the sidebar is exposed and pins are visible so you can hold pressure on the sidebar with your finger so when you set a pin the sidebar will go in that area that way you can tell what technique and or tool works for you then just do the same after its reassembled
I am still just a nooby when it comes to picking high security locks but ………..
I am learning from the best thanks lp101

The quality of the video is very poor (mostly with the lighting). I honestly couldn't even say for sure it had any pins in it (it did, didn't it?) I only saw that it had a sidebar.

Not trying to poop on your parade, but if you could do it again with better light and take apart the lock so the viewer can see all the bits inside, I'd be a lot more impressed

sorry it is a bad video :oops:

I was In-between calls when i did it.

I did pull it out of the sleeve so you could see the pins
You can’t see 5 pins? I can’t disassemble the lock without messing it up
The top of the plug has a small strip that I don’t want to pry off
No offence but I am not trying to impress anyone I just wanted to show my thanks to lp101 and its members and hopefully encourage someone that hasn’t opened one yet
I will try to make a better video but it will be on my next days off
Thank you for your input

Nicely done

The video is a bit hard to see, but whatever,

What's the bitting like on the lock? Are you picks "twisted" at all?

Amazing that you opened it that fast :shock:

I couldn't see the video that well either. How about a remake?

Don't you just love irony.

Unbreakable
I don’t know what the bitting is I have no key
And no the pick is not twisted it is a lockmasters aluminum handle pick
Thank you

What
No not biaxial and the bitting doesn’t seem to have a high low configuration
Here is the pick http://lockpickroy.50megs.com/photo.html

I think I saw five holes, but I couldn't see if those were pins inside or what. Like I said, the whole thing was backlit. Like I said, I would love to see a remake. I'm curious about your technique and I'd like to see the tools more before you go in. I watch it more for my own education than anything (and to match it up to my medeco). Someone else did a video where they disassembled the lock when they were done so I could see the difference in the locks and figure why one method would work and another wouldn't.

Good job though! So what are you moving on to yet?

Thank you.
I will try to make a better video tomorrow afternoon when I am off work.
If you’re talking about locks
I have two locks coming ups that I am hoping to practice on until I can pick them http://cgi.ebay.com/SARGENT-GREENLEAF-H ... dZViewItem

After I get the locks (one should be here by the weekend) If I can confirm the method works I will post in detail. Although it is possible the medico I have is very easy due to bitting or just a fluke.

Eek, I'm intimidated just looking at it.

First he does it one handed, then he does it one handed with it facing away from him. Show off :twisted:

Haha, the long view of the pins was just for me, huh?

Very nice. The lighting is a lot better. Some quick notes:

1) You put the torque wrench at the "top" of the opening, on the same side as the pins. I haven't seen anyone do this (and I certainly hadn't been doing that). Is that... normal? It seems crowded. (Stupid question, I know).

2) It had a sidebar and five pins. It looked like the cover for the pins (where they'd normally go into the outer cylinder) was blocked off, so the only thing keeping the cylinder from turning would be the sidebar. Is that normal for that kind of lock, or am I missing something? I know the cam locks are less secure than the normal door locks, but I never would have guessed it's because it doesn't even work like a standard tumbler lock at all. (This is also why I was a little confused the first time... the guy took the cylinder out but didn't use a plug stopper and pieces didn't fly everywhere. Hrm?)

Regardless, I am impressed. I can still blame my tools, right? ;P Great video.
