It's a rob aria.

Key locks, euro profile cylinder I've already partially disassembled this so we can take the rest of it apart more quickly after picking this lock fills a niche market that not many companies enter.

It's a relatively low security dimple lock with excellent key control, and by that I mean, it would be very difficult to make an unauthorized key copy.

The reason it would be hard to make a copy is this little interactive element that we see right at the tip of the key by press on it from the bottom, you can see it lifts up, and it's actually spring loaded from the back to the front as well.

You can't open this cylinder without a moving part inside of the key because thes keys are difficult to manufacture and the factory controls the blanks.

I can have some confidence that if I do give this key to someone, they haven't made a copy before returning it.

Okay, let's get this an advice and see what it takes to pick it open.

Okay, let's get some tension in there with this Z bar, I'm going to be using one of my multi pick dimple pecs.

Okay, Nothing on one, too.

34 Okay, five is binding very tightly.

Gotta click out of five.

Nothing on six.

Back to the beginning.

Nice click out of one.

Nothing on two three is binding.

Tightly click out of three.

Nothing on 45 or six.

Back.

Toe one, too.

Nice click out of two.

We got a little bit of movement on the core, and that signals to me that it is time to set the portion of the lock that deals with that interactive element that can just use this hook.

Reach right to the back to press up on it.

And we have bypassed it.

Okay, We're in a false set now, which indicates to me that we probably have a couple schools to deal with, So let's find them.

123 Okay, I think this is pin four.

Okay.

Got a spool set on 45 Okay, there's another one on six.

Six is being a little bit stubborn, but we'll get him.

Must be a very high cut.

Okay, I think we got six set, but we lost our false set.

Let's try to get it back.

123 Click out of four and we are open.

Okay, let's take this apart and see what's inside.

Okay?

Since we do have a key, I can re lock.

This first thing we need to do is remove this clip.

Now I need the key and a follower, and this should come apart.

Here we go.

Come.

Okay.

This key appears to be trapped in there.

Here we go.

Not sure what was holding it in.

You can see that we have six pins plus the mechanism in the back for that interactive element.

Go ahead and drop over them out into the pending tray now.

Okay.

These pins are being a little bit stubborn.

Just lift him out a little bit, and hopefully I'll be able to get them with the tweezers.

Okay, Standard, keep it in one.

A spooled torpedo.

Keepin and slot too.

Standard and three.

Standard in four.

Standard in five and standard in six.

Let's get this interactive element out now.

Okay, there we go.

Now, this torpedo shaped keepin is really interesting.

If we look carefully at it.

What that does is make it very, very difficult to recover from over setting this pin stack.

I used to use them in challenge locks all the time.

That can be very tricky if you make a misstep while picking.

Okay, The first pin is a standard steel pin, probably for drill resistance.

Same in slot, too.

I didn't feel any security pins other than four and six.

So let's see what's in here.

Number four is a spool five.

It's standard.

And I'm assuming six will be a spool as well.

And it is Okay, let's drop the springs out.

Okay, Nothing there Up.

We have one more pin.

I wasn't even thinking.

This should be above the interactive element in slot seven.

Okay.

Anything else interesting about this?

We do have a little piece of drill protection right in front of the pin stack.

Nothing interesting down there in the corps.

Let's look carefully at this.

We have a ball bearing in front of the pin stack right there and then auntie drill pins both on the top and the bottom of the key way.

We have a little hole right here, and normally we'd like to see a ball bearing in there.

What that does is make it impossible to drill all the way down the side of this core.

Essentially cut it in half, make it easy to remove.

But it doesn't appear that they put it in there.

Either that or I lost it while gutting.

And then we have this interesting little mechanism here for the interactive element, and I'm not sure why they put it off to the side like that.

My suspicion is it would make manufacturing of keys a little bit less expensive.

If they didn't put this right in the center of the key, they'd have to put one on either side.

So that's probably why they did it.

Okay, so nothing too interesting.

Here, let me zoom in on this for you on the key pins.

They are all made of brass, nothing interesting except for this torpedo shaped pin right here.

And we have the interactive element just a funny shaped pen.

Nothing terribly interesting, except for the fact that it needs to be set above the roof of the key way.

And you can see how it lifts up here.

It lifts up.

And the reason they do that is so a flat pin or a flat key that would fit in the front would never be able to lift that pin all the way up.

Pretty clever as faras Thebes driver pins go all steel.

Probably four drill resistance, all standard pins, with the exception of schools in slots four and six.

Not terribly difficult to pick, but I understand why they put it together the way they did.

Someone might not need a really expensive lock, but they do need key control.

This might be something for them to consider.

In any case, that's all I have for you today.
