How High Security Safe Key Locks Work

[EEVblog]

A look inside how high security safe key locks work, and the pick resistant features found inside them. The 9 lever Australian Made Ross 700 series pick resistant lock vs the STUV Cablox 6 Lever Lock
And yes, a challange to the Lock Picking Lawyer!

Plus a bonus look inside the Ross 1000 series Bluetooth electronic lock.

Why did you hide the end of the keys, are you going to use the locks on your house? 

(Edit: I just saw in the Youtube comments that it's to prevent all the idiots from telling you not to show the key)


Bonus points for calling out the LPL. I wonder if he'll take it on?

(I doubt it. He only seems to do the low-hanging fruit lately and that one doesn't look very pickable to me. Apart from all the false gates that will bind the levers in place, it looks like they've made it very, very difficult to tension)

Yep, Youtubers often use "comment mitigation" strategies.
Same reason I menitoned the LPL because I know half the comments will be "the LPL can pick this in 2 seconds". No, no he can't.

It's a high security safe lock, that's what you expect. The Cablox one would be easier than the Ross 700, but you'd still need the dedicated tool I think.
Someone in the comments pointed out 4 different LPL videos were he has picked these lever locks. I checked and they weren't even close, and he had to use the specialised tool.

I haven't seen the special tool for these but looking at the way the false gates work I think you'll need a tool that individually holds every lever in place as you progress.

Any tool that only manipulates one lever at a time will fail.
