tubular pick

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

tubular pick

Here are some photos, I usually don't post photos, as the cafe computers don't allow it, and I don't sign up to the photo hosting sites, but a member here is hosting these.

The sketch explains the tubular pick with a sleeve holding sliders over a thumb turn and inner tube with
the stem pickup, which unfortunately is not visible in the photo where the sleeve and thumbturn are separated, but can be seen in the sketch.

This pick can open 137 diameter 7pin locks in rightleftandcenter varients. as well as 8pintypes and the types that have no stem keyway pickup, (those types push the stem through with the pins)
Ive mentioned this pick before, its a one of a kind, but the machinests can make one, using a key as a dimension reference for ID and OD.

Looks cool, not sure I fully understand it though. Like how does it fit in both 7 and 8 pin locks? A video of the pick in action would be nice. :D

eight pin locks and seven pin locks are based on an octogonal division of the circle, what is different in them is the place where the stem pickup fits the keyway, on the seven pin, 7 of the divisions are used for pins and the pickup is in the eighth section. on the 8 pin version, the stem pickup is between two sections. this pick has a mobile stem pickup which can move to various positions, when its in a seven pin lock, only seven sliders are addressed, and the eighth is doing nothing. For locks that have no stem pickup, you just use the black o rings as the handle.

So is this one you made? One you would like to see made? Are there better instructions? One you might be selling? Just curious.

No not yet, but eventually I hope. I have a couple of them laying around, a cylinder and a padlock but haven't done much with them. It's everywhere here, nearly every apartment, school, business has one on the doors that a plain pin tumbler lock isn't considered safe enough. I've seen several videos of the tool in use but don't think I'll be buying one, not yet anyway. I guess you could say that at the moment, this is my Medeco.

The tool videos on youtube make it look so easy, I have one of the cylinders, but apparently the tool has several types, left, right, etc, and I wouldnt want to buy the wrong one, when I have the money to buy one at all. Who designed this tool and do they have a medeco tool? I think it first appeared on that german site multipicks or whatever.

Wzrdeye, its one I made, one of a kind, only one Ive got, it actually appears in the picture, Just posting so that any of the machinests on the site can get the idea that the stem pickup is not necessarily a fixed thing, by this or several othe ways, it can be moved. It dosent' even have to be fixed to the tube with the sliders.

That's a classy set of picks, Raimundo. And does the one with the champagne cork have something to do with an Abloy? :)

Nope, not Abloy, but ABUS and the like.

That's not a champaign cork. It's a cork from a man who enjoys pretty good tequila.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!
