hey gang welcome back to another video
in today's video I'm going to be showing
you a very useful locksmith tool now in
the event a key has been lost for a
deadbolt or any other lock there's only
two ways that you're going to be
unlocking it you're either going to have
to pick the lock or you're going to have
to drill out the key way to allow the
pins inside to fall down to allow the
plug to rotate the tool I'm about to
show you is going to be very useful if
you go to pick the lock now when you go
to lock the door of course you're going
to rotate clockwise when you rotate
clockwise the bolt will extend into the
door jamb when you put the key in and
you rotate to the left the bolt will
slide in now the problem you can have
with some dead bolts is that it's very
easy to pick one direction but not the
other way so for instance in order to
open this you'd have to pick it and then
rotate counterclockwise put that in and
that would be unlocking it of course if
you pick it in the opposite direction
all it's going to be doing is absolutely
nothing pushing that bolt more into the
jamb and then when you go to take the
tension key and rotate it back to try
and get it to go the other way it's
going to line up with the pins again and
lock in the position right here with
this tool is going to allow you to do is
pick this in the wrong direction and
then you could spin counterclockwise
very quickly pass the section where the
pins would line up allowing it to pull
the deadbolt and let me just show you
how this works so right here you can see
the bolt is extended and now it's going
back in so I'm going to do is close the
door
all right now locked so the first thing
I'm going to do is pick this in a
clockwise direction which is the wrong
way I have this tension wrench which
allows you to put a varying amount of
pressure on that plug or core depending
on the lock that you have they all vary
some may require very little tension and
others may require a lot if you have
spool pins in here which are security
pins designed to hang up when you're
trying to pick them then the best thing
you can do with those is go all the way
in push them all the way to the top and
put a lot of tension on it
and then when you do that you can rake
them down very lightly as you're letting
pressure off on the tension wrench keep
raking and it'll help you get this to
open much easier to deal with those
spool pins so let me get this going
first let me pick this the right way all
right I'm going to push all the pins to
the top using this tool I made it's a
diamond pick i ground this down using
spring steel years ago and start it
upside down and we push all the pins to
the top and put heavy tension so now
every one of those pins is up including
the spool pins I'm just gonna rake this
very slowly as I'm letting off on my
tension key tension wrench keep going so
I feel it's not to drop a little bit now
it's starting to drop over all right so
now that's the time I'm gonna switch to
the lifter see if I can dip you laid
each one
[Applause]
like adjusting the tension of that
wrench
let a little bit more pressure off
okay
how long should break
[Applause]
there it is all right so now I'm gonna
leave it like that all right it rotated
clockwise it's locked if you try and
spin it back the other direction what's
going to happen it's going to line up
and lock without turning completely
counterclockwise to retract the boat so
if I go here watch actually here you can
see how it got caught up right there if
the tool is going to allow you to do is
completely spin that right past that
point so let me pick that one more time
okay with the lock picked in that
direction we're now going to use this
specialized tool now I want to rotate
this counterclockwise so I'm going to
pull on this rotate it to there I'm
going to insert it in the key way and
I'm going to push on the door and it
should spin it right open there you go
and that's how you do it now I can put
this key back in there and rotate it to
the top and you can see it locked back
in extremely useful tool could save you
a lot of time if you have trouble
picking this in the right direction I
