I'm told that the Hebrew writing on it denotes the I.

D EFS logistics corps.

It was sent to me by Odette in Israel, who was having some trouble picking it and wanted to see if I'd have better luck.

And if we look at the bottom, we can see it scratched up pretty badly, probably from a lot of picking attempts.

Now I was able to pick this open, but upon examination I also discovered that this lock is by passable something that's troubling for a military lock, even a low security one.

So let's pick it open, and then I will show you how it can be bypassed.

I'm going to use bottom of the key way tension with this little wiper insert in a standard hook in 18 thousands.

Using pretty stout tension.

Number one is binding.

Nice click out of one click out of two three is binding very tightly.

Click out of three, and we just dropped in tow a false set.

So definitely at least one spool in here.

Counter rotation on four.

Okay, I think we got four set, but I must have dropped a pin or two because we lost our false set.

Nothing on one too.

There we go.

Number three is binding again.

And we just got this open.

So not too bad a pic, But let's take a look at the bypass now.

Now, normally, this is not a mechanism that can be bypassed.

If we look down the shackle hole, we can see the locking lug is directly attached to the core, and it rotates into position as the key is turned.

However, if we look at the bottom of this lock, we get a pretty good idea of why this is by passable.

This lock has very long pin channels that were drilled from the top during the manufacturing process, more than enough room in those pin channels to push both the key and driver pins above the sheer line with a comb pick that allows the quarter turn which releases the shackle.

And to make matters worse, using a comb pick like this looks an awful lot like using a k you just inserted into the keyhole press All those pins up above the sheer line and turn.

As you could see, We got into this one very quickly.

So, Odette, as for picking the tolerances on this lock, are above average, which means that you do need to be disciplined with your tension, especially when setting the spool pin in the back.

Other than that, there really isn't that much to it.

But the real news here is the bypass.

I have no idea what the idea if uses these four.

But unless it's ballast on their ships, they should really consider replacing them.

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