Recently I think that I have been making too many videos of me picking locks and not enough of me actually doing tutorials and stuff. Let’s put that right with a two part beginners guide to Dimple Locks: part one will look at the mechanism of basic dimple locks and how to pick them and part 2 will look at dimple lock rakes and how to use them. Enjoy!
Remember: only pick locks that are yours and that are not in use!

I like to learn and I found a previous clip of yours that was a heck of alot of help
But this one clip really threw me out I was completely lost with the explanations that u gave here … is t g ere any chance that u have done other clips on dimple locks ?
Or is it even possible u have re done this one differently or explained it a bit differently
Cause other that learning that no my practice lock wasn't broken Nd yes keys were meant to come out sideways as it's a dimple lock
That was about all I learnt ,,,,I bought the lock picking kit with a clear dimple lock exactly same as the one u have in the clip but I can not figure out how to get any single rake in there
Please if u could let me know or at the least answer or contact me I'd love some advice from u as u do seem to know what u are talking about ,.,.,.,unlike a few others I've seen post lockpicking vids u at the least seem capable of using the picks where these others appear like they are reading out of a book and just telling us on the clips without actually even picking any locks themselves
If u could possibly contact or reply ti me I'd greatly appreciate it bigtime
As I just had a hard time following or understanding u in this clip & I'd love any further advice I could get from you
I got one of these 'dimple locks' as part of a picking set, along with the standard acrylic padlock. The latter is a joke, way too soft and very easy to open. Not really a training device, as I struggle with 'real' locks like ABUS, CES (I am from Germany) etc. I am inching through my lock collection, with very little progress so far. Despite having read the 'bible' from the locksmith site, studying the physics and mechanics behind all methods. Hopeless.
This dimple lock is VERY frustrating for amateurs, especially with cheap tools at hand.
Even if seeing the pin position through these transparent locks I fail to individually set them properly; raking them has no merit either. I do not own 'flag' picks, just oodles of these standard ones in all sizes and shapes. Too thick shafts, too clumsy pick tips, no wiggle space..
Thanks for showing! You demonstrate that these cheap dimple demo locks CAN be opened, just not mine.
But that problem is not with the lock itself, but with my own fingers..or brain.. or both..
Your audio leaves a lot to be desired (even YT has trouble to CC it). Please crank up the microphone, use a less muffled one with better high pitch sensitivity.
How about a pimpled key bumps instead of dimples
Can you pick these locks with normal hooks?
Hmm, i just single picked my dimple practicelock and it broke down. I got it open but now keys wont work on it. Any ideas what might have happened? The pins on the side that i opened are very loose but it wont let key in more than halfway
Hey Noob. Cool vid. I've already watched tons of them- on everything- but I'm going to Thailand and Japan for 6 months and know Asia uses a lot of these, or so I've been told. Just got my Goso- like yours. I've pretty much 'mastered' SFIC's as they are all the University has and I lived there for 3 years. SO= gonna give it a go. Also going to be hitting Medeco's next, they're kind of the next type of lock I want to be proficient in. I usually do 'in-situ' so I won't be using a vice or any of that stuff. Not gonna bother w/ the M4 as it's too new and the M3 and before should suffice. Hey, 3 questions? 1. Did you modify your set, i.e.- sand the paddles down. I'm not forking out 400 on Multi's which I know are the best and good to go out the box. 2. Do you know about the Medeco 'Decoder'. I don't mean the gauge to figure out what the pins are- I mean the tool that you stick into the keyway and it allows you to rotate the pins for the sidebar? I had heard that it only worked on 'Pre' M3 models, as they now have like this overhang to thwart that, but I'd suppose there's plenty of pre-M3's still in use. AND, if you do know about this- How best to make one? I was thinking of modifying a small travelers hook, you could sand it down and it's about the right dimensions, though you'd have to make it thinner. 3. What locks do they use in Europe, specifically- France? After my 'Asian Excursion' I plan on moving and living in Toulousee. I plan on living in the U there or a Mall or something like that, lol. I know you're a Brit and probably have been there- and if you are a picker, you are, you probably, regularly, look at lock types, haha. It's one of the things I've noticed about myself when I got into pen testing a few years back= you look to see whats locked and with what. I don't even think of it really it's just a little thing I notice now. Anywho, I congratulated you last time we spoke on your monkey paw. It's a great pick, I own 4 of them. The idea wasn't knew- as Southord had 1 tears ago(though it didn't work very well) but Sparrows executed it really well. (The Lunatic is still my fav for SFIC's) Anywho m8, cheers.
LOL is good but doesn't explain the basics like your vids
Are these transparent practice locks any good? The reviews of those on Amazon have very mixed reviews, mainly that they don't lock, or are far to easy to open. Is there any particular brand to look for?
Nice introduction. Thank you. I recently read a review that those screw type interchangeable picks actually untwist and release the pick when turning the pick inside the lock in one direction. Are they bad enough to stay away from?
Thank you…as a beginner I found this overview useful but when you got down to the picking…non of the things you describe verbally are shown… I want an extreme close up of terms like… counter rotation, clicking, binding, shear line.. these are still a mystery to me and I am still to see a lock picking demo that films what is going on inside the lock during picking… the wide shot of the transparent core is not good enough for my total lack of knowledge. I am a filmmaker not a lock picker. Can you help?
Excellent, I'm just moving on to dimple locks now.
i didnyt have dimle picks i was so fristrated., i have the same exact lock, im like i gotta be missing something ehre, can i get a good recommendation on a good set of picks, ther one i got are kinda cheap bending and getting chewed up?
was thinking about something like the noight school package ort a full beginner set from sparrows, now i know what picks ill need, thanks lock noob
I need some help anyone please… I’ve been on this for hours and can’t do it…. I’m totally new to lock picking, I can manage to set some pins but when I go to set the rest, the ones I have set reset themselves and I have to start again…. any tips?
Says nipple at 5:13
But was it made by Bosnian bill ?
Is there such a thing as a good beginner dimple lock?
How do you use a dimple lock with A,B and C locks?
Watch your sound fidelity, m8
Would they put dimple locks in cars
This video is really bad like for beginners they don’t have those special tools
Pin thumbler not pin cylinder
