I finally picked a medeco biaxial

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

I finally picked a medeco biaxial

Postby zeke79 » 15 Aug 2005 21:16

After quite a bit of practice I have become fairly decent at picking my 5 pin medeco biaxial cylinders. They definately have a distinct feel to them while picking and once I got over the initial "medeco" factor I progressed fairly quick. You can download the video here http://nickz.homeunix.com/Lockpicking/001Video/zeke79%20picking%20Medeco%20biaxial.rar Username lockpicking password 101.

That's why I posted the video :lol: . The first time I picked it in the video it opened so quick I thought the wrench slipped out. Then I thought I better pick it one more time in the video just so it doesnt look too easy. The second time wasnt nearly as easy that's for sure :? .

Thanks for the congratulations n2oah. Now I have to get back to that schlage primus and get consistant with it :x .

I heard the sidebar on the Primus is a b*tch. Good luck on that, too.

Probably a six pin medeco biaxial. That should keep me busy for quite a bit I would say. I would definately like to try my hand at an abloy sometime but would need time to design a pick too. If someone already has plans for an abloy style pick with accurate dimensions they would not mind sharing I would be very interested :wink: .

I can't seem to open the video in this .rar format. Any advice?

You need WinRAR to open the .rar format. http://www.rarlab.com/ Just get the free trial.

Yes, .rar is a compression format just like .zip. You will need to unrar it before you can view the file. Once unrared it will be a .wmv file. :wink:

what kind of error are you getting pip? Is it a codec error? Is anyone else having a problem? :?

Let me know if that doesnt work out for you. I am hoping for some reason or another it was just a bad download. :wink:
