welcome to this video it's about a
Kensington lock and here it is if you
buy one of these it's the cable is
attached like like this to the lock and
I think you all know how it works so you
wrap around the other end around
something permanent and this one the
lock this end goes into the housing of
the laptop and if you look at the at the
end of the of the lock looks like this
to get the camera to focus yeah and if
it's in the unlock position this little
bar here is aligned like so and it fits
in lengthy hole in the computer housing
and then you lock it and the bar is then
aligned like this and it doesn't go out
anymore so when I got this lock I tried
to pick it and I was successful in
picking it at least once then I turned
it and I turned it too much so it is now
locked again in the next position where
the upper pins are aligned to the
position of the lower pins and the lock
doesn't order the coat inner core does
not does not turn anymore and I try to
pick it again and to bring it into the
unlock position but no luck so yeah and
the key doesn't help and you also not
because you see how it is designed you
have this this deep part here and this
needs to go in this housing and you can
stick the key in only if the if the lock
is in the unlocked position because then
this groove and that groove is aligned
and the key then fits and now it won't
go won't go in and and also try to
the nose from the from the key and now
it it fits but also it doesn't doesn't
turn so I will I will open the lock and
see what's in and then maybe I
understand what's going on here so hold
on if you look at the part of the lock
that goes into the housing of the laptop
you'll see that there is a a ring that
can be removed so let's take it away and
then you can take away the the housing
part of the lock that helps the cable so
this this can be removed and it gives
you a gives you the complete core camera
to focus gives you the core and I think
to further disassembled it we need to
drill out this this pin here and there's
another pin there so yeah I will take my
drill and see how that goes so hold on
all right the pins are gone and I can
take away two different parts so let's
start everything everything is free so
this is the outer housing nothing
special here do it away then three parts
are remaining the lower part lets holds
the pins just go inside the computer
housing take this away let's inspect it
okay there is just band wires that hold
hold the login in the computer housing
let's tight it up okay this is how it
looks like take this away and here's the
actual lock and okay
carefully try to separate this part here
we are so this is the part where the
where the pins um with the springs are
in so you can see how it looks like just
a spring still in place if you closely
look to the pins get the camera to focus
you can see all all of the seven or all
of the seven pins beside one have little
grooves on their top and one seems to be
the gatekeeper which is a normal pin
they are all of course spring-loaded
here we are here we have one spring this
is the lower part and here is the key
part with the pins and take a I take a
key and if I stick in the key you see
that they have all now the same height
so if you if if the correct key is
inserted the shear line is is free and
you can you can turn the core
I will reassemble it now
and this is the unlock position and if
you stick in the key over first without
key of course it's it's locked and you
stick in the key now you have a cheat
the shilling is clear and you can you
can turn it forth and back and what I
did is I turned it just one position and
then see here in this this little space
here one of the spring-loaded pins
jumped in and that was the reason why I
could not pick it to turn again back to
the unlock position nor using this money
related key without the nose because
without the nose I cannot push down this
pin so although other ollie all the
other pins are set to the correct height
it is still not possible to turn the
look and that's what the nose is good
for the nose is good for of course
tensioning but also for keeping the
depends at the level of the shear line
while turning the core while turning
we're turning forth and back so I
thought the nose is just well it's just
for fun or just for applying additional
tension but ah I didn't think enough and
of course it's necessary to to keep
pushed down the lower pins at the level
of the shear line okay so now it's clear
what happened hold on and I will take
away all the parts that you can see it
at all at a glance
okay see you alright so everything's got
it and we can
have a closer look to the to the pins
and to the to the house yeah
here we have the driver pins they are
spring-loaded with steel springs as you
can see here they are magnetic and the
driver pins we have seven pins in total
are all the same beside of one so this
is the one that is different and six of
them looked like this with a little
groove on the top if I can get the
camera to focus yes I think you can make
this out so just it's the one of six
with a little groove on the top and this
is the only one that is straight all
right then we have the key pins here
these are these are the key pins they
have different length of course can give
you a closer look to that they look like
this these are the key pins and of
course the different length matches
match the two cutouts the different
cutouts on the Wonder key
okay and as we as we saw the the grooves
on the under driver pins here again
that's a driver pin the groove and those
can hang perfectly here in the in the
grooves on the on the plate where the
key pins are so just makes picking a
little bit harder yeah
all right that's it so that's the
Kensington lock pick but not on camera
and disassembled and explained thank you
very much for watching bye bye and help
your picking
