(446) Ruko's War Against Lock Pickers

my name is Bill and I'm a roo coholic fellas I don't know if you're aware of this but 80 years ago a guy named Rudolph Koresh kheh and by the way that's where the ruko name came from declare war against us and there's a whole series of battles that you probably should be aware of so that because it will help you get into these locks if you can look at a lock and determine roughly when it was made and then he can kind of tell you what's inside of it so let's jump right into this shall we rucola locks can look like pretty much anything that we've run into we could look like a padlock it can be round like a mortar cylinder this happens to be for a mailbox or a gate most often when we find these at least here in the States they're these oval-shaped they can be made from brass like this one or they can be brass that's been coated with with chrome it can look like this one this is actually not a unique or cutaway lock this is the inside when you put the locks together you put the screw and it kind of binds everything together but I found these on eBay as well now the letters themselves will help you come sometimes determine how old it is if you look at this when you see the curve very smooth transition on the R it's a little bit different from the modern ones or more modern ones so that will help you date it when you see something this old is probably the original ruko model 500 which we're going to spend a lot of time talking about it can also be a euro cylinder here's a thumb turn and again it can be a brass core and of course it's going to say ruko right on the front of it so let's take a look at what we might find here now Before we jump into it you need to know there's different levels of security and roukoz gone to some trouble to do that you'll notice these different color bands on these two padlocks we have a ruko one which has this yellow band and then we have a rue co2 with a green band there are total of four colors and in Denmark they use a standard called the skate four I don't know what it stands for is probably like 200 letters long but it's for categories and they color-coded for us the yellow one in other words this little yellow the striped padlock would be the lowest possible quality and that's equal to the Ruka 500 which we're going to spend a lot of time talking about because it's the most common lock that we're going to run into at least root ball the next level up in security by the way that takes three to five minutes to pick the next level of security we're going to talk about the model 600 1200 I'll show you some examples and I'll tell you what's inside of those they should take five to seven minutes if we spend about $100 we can jump up to a blue color coded lock I have one here I'll show you what it looks like and I'll show you some cutaways you're going to pay for that level of security to get ten minutes delay it's going to cost you about a about a hundred dollars u.s. give or take a little bit the highest level of security is going to be very expensive as you can imagine it's again the DP model I'll show you some cutaways what that looks like and show you what's inside of them they're going to give you about ten minutes of delay so there's your security let's begin by talking about the lowest level of security because the most common lock we find is that ruko 500 now there's several different versions you might run into this is the oldest version it is a standard core there's absolutely nothing in it there's no sleeve there's nothing unique about the design if you run a sharp object it's very smooth nothing to catch up on inside of there so you're going to have the smoothest possible you can have a limited number of kind of pins in that smoothbore so let's talk about these pins I'm not a very good hot glue er but I hope this helps keep the camera focused in those older cores like the one I just showed you you're going to find standard pins you're going to find standard pins that are tapered at both ends to give you the idea that you've broken a shear line but in fact you haven't this one has cutaways on both ends and it's designed to simulate exactly what that one does it's got the cutaway so you think you're at the shear line but no you're not you're going to find a variety of different kinds of spools standard spools and then spools like this one this is called a barrel spool so there's actually three bearing surfaces one it was in the middle and they'll come hence the rounded edge looks like a barrel you will find serrated pins but only in certain kinds of locks in certain battles I should say and I'll show you what some of those design features are where you will find these depends on what to look for some uniquely yuko locks that you will only find in certain type of cores and I've always called these the Christmas tree pins because they do kind of look like a Christmas tree or at least like a mushroom and then the latest cycle as a ploy pins they look like this they're very sharp they only have cutouts on the ends they come in a variety of different lengths very sharp and again it's designed to snag up a specific design feature inside of the cores alright so there's the pins you're going to run into in this one you're going to find everything up to maybe the serrated pins the next level of of core that you will find is this one so if we can get this thing to focus now this core will have a sleeve I've removed this one but when you look inside of the sleeve if I can get this aligned a little better when you shine a light down inside of there you can see that there's some counter milling now it's easier to see because I did break this core off the sleeve off rather you can see the counter milling beneath it so you can imagine that sleeve is designed to catch a very specific design feature of our pins and that design feature of course would be this type of christmas-tree pin it's going to snag up inside of there it's going to get hung up on that sleeve and it's going to almost lock up the core but we can still get feedback and we can still pick this one ruko didn't like that so they had another battle with us and they came up with another kind of core come on baby this core you might notice is a little bit different they're not round holes they're elongated and when Michael from Denmark and I looked at these the first time we thought well that's because these are worn out they've been worn used so many years but that's in fact when you look at pin number five it's not worn out and that's because this one is designed to snag it has an undercut beneath here and if I can get the flashlight angled correctly you can even see that the undercut and why do they do that why did they elongate this well by using the same Christmas three what'd I do with that Christmas tree pin by using the same Christmas tree pin now not only whoops does it get snagged but it allows the core to rotate just a little bit more - totally seized up that core so when you have four of these Christmas pins and they're all and one or more of them us caught up here you don't know which it is and none of them are talking none of them are giving you feedback so that's a great great design feature the next upgrade when we started using the asset a boy pins again we see the worn-out come on baby we see it's worn out but machining those cores cost money and a sad boy wanted to save some money and so what they did is there's no cutout on the bottom of here it's only the sleeve that's been machined on the bottom of there - to catch that asset ABLOY pin so this one clearly is designed to catch this new style pin well I've taken one apart to show you what lies beneath it we can get our camera to play fair and you'll see that they're all serrated so not only is the core been serrated but that final separation is the sleeve itself again it's designed to grab the sharp edges of this a sadboy design pin till seize up the cylinder well this is the lowest level of security and there's a reason for that because in the mid-90s a guy named Barry Wells and a guy named Rob Gong grip in Denmark figured out that you could bump locks so it's a very old idea but they made it very public and these 500s it can all be bumped it doesn't matter which core doesn't matter which pin you have inside of there if you have a ruko bump key you can get in there by the way you'll notice the shape on this key whenever you see a round headed key the bow is round on a ruko it is the model 500 if we start looking at different shaped keys not round for example this one it tells us is not the 500 or something a little bit different about it this is another escalation in the battle it's a standard ruko core it's in a gyro cylinder this is a thumb turn look at the key we have to really fight to get back there to that last pin but if we look inside of here you see on the bottom it's like a snake looking out at us and that's because there's a rod stuck in the bottom of there that aligns perfectly with the hole in the bottom of this key why would you do that well if you put something in the bottom the key way it makes it really hard for us to get a pick up inside of there because that rod is in the way so it makes it really difficult to pick it's an anti picking method that they've just invented that damn ruko well-wrought 500 wasn't enough that rod wasn't enough so now they came up with something called the model 600 from the outside you can't tell but if you put your PIN down inside your pick down inside of there you can feel that there are six pins and if you can catch a glance of the key you'll notice the head of it is not round so it must be a version 600 or better in other words higher quality on this one we can have up to 12 cuts this is an older one you see only six cuts but on the newer keys if I can get it to cooperate is that an awesome-looking cut and that's because this is one of the techniques they used to master key at first it makes it difficult for someone to take a sight measurement just a guess on your pinning you don't know which one of those are valid that's because they use this technique - we can use different keys so you see different cuts on the pins they have little wings on them to keep them aligned in the cylinders in the in the chambers and the key can use any combination of the cuts on these pins to get in so you can have four or five even six different keys that will all open the same lock why do they do this well because when you put master wafers inside of lock it makes it more susceptible more easy to pick or easier to pick so they got away from that by using this technique one more escalation from that we move up to another technique this is called the model 640 is the way it's described again from the outside it looks identical this is just a stamp from an organization you look at the key we got six pins this is an older one so you only see six cuts but on the bottom you see more cuts this tells us that there are some side pins on the bottom that we're going to be needing to deal with on this one there are five side pins if we don't like that when we continue to escalate by the way this is a copy of the esse combi or twin combi or I don't know who since it's all the same company I guess it's not a cop it's just in cross pollenization if we want to escalate from that lock to a little bit higher level of security this is the model DP again from the outside it looks identical you can't tell until you look down the side of there and you see some extra stuff that extra stuff we have up to 12 cuts on the top it's for six pins and then there's a laser-cut groove on the side to align with some side pins now these side pins in themselves are unique and these are unique to ruko again this is a cutaway and what you'll see right away we got the six security pins to deal with and then there are two chambers for what looked like two pins when in fact when you look closely at these pins you can see that they're actually four pins so they're cut in half try to imagine manipulating each of those half pins precisely they are they have ser ations in them and there's only one true gate try to imagine manipulating those inside of a tight chamber this is not the highest level of security this is only the blue if you want to go to the highest level of security ruko makes one of those as well and it looks like this it's identical to the DP except now we have ten of these pins on the bottom they also are all serrated they lock into the side bar see if I can get it to cooperate here we have this is not from the DP but it's one similar from an asset lock those are the positive gates and they're not all the same you can see there stepped at different levels and they align with the gate on the lock this one is in a dead center all the rest of those are false gates if we align the false gate with that slot it will not open and it will actually grab that pin and seize up the side bar we're not going to be getting into it well fellas that is the 80 year long war that ruko has waged against us the lock Pickers I hope I've given you a couple of ideas or some things to look for some ways to get into these and some of the ways to get around it anyway thanks for your time everybody stay safe and stay legal
