  • 00:00:00
    This is the lockpicking lawyer and what
  • 00:00:02
    I have for you today is not a lock. It
  • 00:00:05
    is a rare and extremely expensive lock
  • 00:00:08
    defeat tool that even most locksmiths
  • 00:00:11
    have probably never seen or heard of
  • 00:00:13
    before. In fact, it's obscure enough
  • 00:00:16
    that the example displayed in the
  • 00:00:18
    International Spy Museum in Washington
  • 00:00:20
    DC is mislabeled as quote lockpicking
  • 00:00:24
    deluxe. And while this does open locks,
  • 00:00:27
    it has nothing to do with picking. The
  • 00:00:30
    actual name given by the inventor is
  • 00:00:33
    somewhat wordy. It's the pin lock pin
  • 00:00:36
    cam system invented by the well-known
  • 00:00:38
    British toolmaker John Fowl. Now, I have
  • 00:00:42
    an old video of John demonstrating the
  • 00:00:44
    tool, and he said he only planned to
  • 00:00:46
    make a few dozen of them, but I believe
  • 00:00:48
    that number went up significantly when
  • 00:00:51
    the tool started to be included in
  • 00:00:53
    tradecraftraft training for groups
  • 00:00:55
    associated with the US government. So,
  • 00:00:58
    why would this tool be attractive to
  • 00:01:00
    government operators? Well, it opens and
  • 00:01:03
    decodes locks, but a lot of tools and
  • 00:01:05
    methods do that. This tool does it while
  • 00:01:08
    leaving very few scratches, dents, or
  • 00:01:11
    other markings that would reveal to a
  • 00:01:13
    forensic examination that the lock was
  • 00:01:16
    compromised. Let's take a look at how it
  • 00:01:19
    works. The tip of the tool obviously
  • 00:01:22
    replicates a key and it is limited to a
  • 00:01:25
    single key system. This one works on the
  • 00:01:28
    union key system that's common in the
  • 00:01:31
    UK. Each pin position has a separate
  • 00:01:35
    detachable
  • 00:01:37
    part. Let me take one of those off so
  • 00:01:39
    you can see
  • 00:01:41
    it to be very careful here. Okay, here
  • 00:01:45
    is that tiny little part. And I want you
  • 00:01:48
    to note the little ball bearing that
  • 00:01:50
    sits underneath it. I'll show you what
  • 00:01:52
    that's for in just a moment. Let's put
  • 00:01:55
    that back in. It's a little bit tricky.
  • 00:01:58
    There we go.
  • 00:02:00
    Now, the other major component to this
  • 00:02:03
    system is the key part dispenser. Inside
  • 00:02:07
    of this dispenser is a key part for each
  • 00:02:11
    factory height for each pin position on
  • 00:02:14
    the key. Because of that, you can insert
  • 00:02:17
    the tool into the dispenser and
  • 00:02:19
    literally dial up any bidding you want.
  • 00:02:22
    So for instance, let's say I had a
  • 00:02:26
    surveillance photo of this key and I can
  • 00:02:28
    visually decode it to say
  • 00:02:33
    52522. I could literally
  • 00:02:36
    just
  • 00:02:38
    52 5 22. Lock all of them in position.
  • 00:02:44
    And I now have the key to this lock.
  • 00:02:48
    Now, while that is cool, it is not what
  • 00:02:51
    this is for. Let's reset this and I'll
  • 00:02:54
    show you its really great
  • 00:02:58
    features. Remember that tiny little ball
  • 00:03:00
    bearing that sat
  • 00:03:02
    underneath each key part? Well, when you
  • 00:03:07
    move this slider, a small bump or cam in
  • 00:03:11
    the tip of it, you can see, let me see
  • 00:03:14
    if I can zoom in. See that tiny little
  • 00:03:16
    bump there? That pushes up on the ball
  • 00:03:20
    bearing. And when it pushes up, it
  • 00:03:22
    causes this piece to move a minuscule
  • 00:03:25
    amount. Let me try to show you that.
  • 00:03:27
    We'll move, let's say, the very middle
  • 00:03:29
    key
  • 00:03:31
    piece. You can see that moving just a
  • 00:03:34
    tiny little bit. We'll move the one next
  • 00:03:36
    to it
  • 00:03:40
    now. Okay.
  • 00:03:43
    Why is that minuscule movement
  • 00:03:46
    important? Well, it tells us if the pin
  • 00:03:48
    above it is binding if you move this
  • 00:03:51
    slider while simultaneously gently
  • 00:03:54
    rotating the tool. As most of you know
  • 00:03:57
    from picking a binding pin is at the
  • 00:04:00
    incorrect height. So essentially we can
  • 00:04:03
    find the correct bidding by eliminating
  • 00:04:06
    all the incorrect bidding combinations.
  • 00:04:09
    Sort of like key impressioning. Now,
  • 00:04:11
    that may not make a whole lot of sense,
  • 00:04:14
    but let me show you the tool in action,
  • 00:04:16
    and I think you will
  • 00:04:18
    understand. Start with this one. You'll
  • 00:04:21
    note that I have all of the pin
  • 00:04:24
    positions at their maximum height. I
  • 00:04:26
    insert this. I gently turn it, and then
  • 00:04:29
    I pull down until I find the ones that
  • 00:04:32
    are binding the
  • 00:04:34
    most. So, five is binding, four is
  • 00:04:38
    binding, and that's it. So, what I do is
  • 00:04:41
    I insert the tool into the dispenser,
  • 00:04:45
    unlock the key positions, move five and
  • 00:04:47
    four down one position, relock them, and
  • 00:04:52
    insert the tool
  • 00:04:56
    again. Four is
  • 00:04:59
    binding.
  • 00:05:02
    And three, no, just four.
  • 00:05:23
    Three is binding
  • 00:05:26
    again. And you'll note that I'm turning
  • 00:05:28
    in both directions to see if it gives me
  • 00:05:30
    a different result.
  • 00:05:40
    Three is binding
  • 00:05:58
    again. Four is binding. So is two.
  • 00:06:04
    And the other
  • 00:06:06
    direction. Nope. Just four and
  • 00:06:22
    two. Five is
  • 00:06:25
    binding. Is the only one binding.
  • 00:06:39
    There we go. We got this
  • 00:06:42
    open. Okay, let's reset it and do it one
  • 00:06:46
    more time on this lock. We reset by
  • 00:06:49
    inserting
  • 00:06:50
    unlocking the key position each I'm
  • 00:06:54
    sorry pin
  • 00:06:55
    position
  • 00:06:57
    part relock them
  • 00:07:00
    and let's start
  • 00:07:09
    over two is binding and I believe four
  • 00:07:30
    Five is binding. So is two.
  • 00:07:49
    Okay. And that one opened just a little
  • 00:07:51
    bit
  • 00:07:52
    quicker. All right, folks. I have a lot
  • 00:07:54
    of rare and unusual tools in my
  • 00:07:57
    collection, but this has to be one of my
  • 00:07:59
    favorites, especially when you consider
  • 00:08:01
    the absurd precision required for this
  • 00:08:04
    to work correctly. So, my hat is off to
  • 00:08:07
    the maker. Building this was an
  • 00:08:09
    ambitious project and he nailed it. In
  • 00:08:12
    any case, that's all I have for you
  • 00:08:14
    today. If you do have any questions or
  • 00:08:16
