Fell on this site, and saw this tool + video. I don't see how this pick would work ? Anybody know about this tool??

Its a bypass tool not a pick

Some euro cylinders are vulnerable to it, others are not.

Personally I'm not going to say anything more on the matter unless a MOD approves it first.

"Front of pic obscured for security purposes"...whats the point in the picture then? Surely then all you know is that your buying a handle...

These are for opening Euro Thumb Turns from the outside. I bought one from Nigel Rose, and after a bit of practice I found it very easy to use.

What I find funnier is they "responsibly" obscure the detailed workings of a bypass tool....

Unless you buy it from them.

They don't require you to be a trading locksmith, and according to their terms and conditions you can buy over the counter from their premises, so long as you pay cash!

SKS sell their own version of the Euro Thumbturn bypass tool. 2 types for Oval and standard Euros.
You can see the tip, so it shouldn't be to difficult to make your own I would expect?

Advanced tooling for the advanced forums,

The sks ones are the icl ones,

Never buy anything off locksmith tools, search the site for more info on them,


Just to clarify, if a tool is not a lockpick then its not for the public sections, bypassing is far from picking :wink:
