well done on the brinks!

one word of advice though, clear some of that junk off the desk.
you might find the missing lock then. :wink:

Lmao. Thanks. Yea I felt pretty stupid not finding the lock. I'll clean it up for next time.

My next video will consist of a Black and Decker deadbolt and door lock.

i didn't realise Black and Decker made deadbolts.

as for the yale padlock, the keyways are quite tight so you might want to make a slimline pick or grind an un-needed pick into a slimline. makes it a lot easier.
most yales have 2 spools but not too sure about those older locks.

Yea it's an older one. Thanks for the slimline tip. I've managed to set a few pins so far.

But yea I'll probably need that slimline.

Schuyler.. heads up.. Emhart pinning kit on ebay.. but.. BUT.. I emailed the people and they said these pins dont have the grooves cut in them for pin-to-pin locking. must be another Emhart model.. not he one you like.

yeah, they're corbins, emhart was just the parent company at that point, if I'm not mistaken.

Good eye though. Hope no one gets suckered on it.

Nice work. I wonder how many of us there are who first accidentally encountered security pins via a Brinks padlock, ha ha. You wouldn't think so because of the price. Nice feeling when it finally pops the first time, no? :)

Thanks. Yea, I've heard the term security pins but I never knew what they were. I knew something was up when it would turn halfway just by sticking the pick in.

Yea it felt pretty good having figured it out. Now I'll have to get another one with different pins and try it.

The yale which i have does indeed have 2 spools, on pins 2 and 4. (Dissasembly in locks section), they make picking it all the more fun.

Sweet. Thanks for that tip. I'll have to lookup this model and stuff.

Seeing as I was able to pick the spools on the Brinks lock this one shouldn't be too much different. Other than needing a slimline for efficient use.

my first and i tell ya what, was horrible. going from a master 3 to a brinks thinking oh, this will be just as easy maybe a hair harder. man was i sadly mistaken. like 400 hours later not knowing why i sucked so bad at life i finally did some research. 20 mins later it popped.

When I first started I bought a brinks lock. I don't know the model number, but its brass and it comes with pins to rekey. So it's designed to be taken apart and put back together by an average person. Good investment. Great for learning security pins because the feedback on them is more pronounced than any other security pins I've run across.

Cool vid :)
