[542] Daniel's Fidget Spinner Challenge Lock Picked and Gutted

this is the lock-picking lawyer and the case in front of you contains the coolest and most fun challenge lock that I have ever seen this was created by Daniel in Australia the same person who thought up and built this three lobed three key lock that I'll be featuring sometime in the near future this challenge lock is so much fun that my six-year-old son is begging me to play with it so let's open this up and I will show you what I believe to be the world's first fidget spinner challenge lock and let me tell you this thing spins well my son actually brought out his fidget spinner that we bought at the store to have a contest and see which one spins for longer and Daniel's creation here won by a wide margin but you didn't click on this to see me playing so let's take a look at what we've got here there are three cores soldered to a central hub that contains the bearing if we look carefully at this you can see the faces of the cores are color-coded we have a bronze silver and gold core and I assume that is a sending in difficulty if we look at it from the side you can see that each of these cores was shortened from its original length so these are only three pin challenge locks which is frankly harder to build than a six or seven pin er because it is difficult to get a really hard lock in just three pins so we're gonna try to pick each of these open then I of course will take it apart and show you what's inside we'll start with the bronze level core I'm going to use bottom of the keyway tension with this wiper insert and a standard hook from Peterson in 25 thousandths okay one is binding got a click there still getting some feedback okay got a little bit of movement on the core I think one is set to was mushy but when I pushed on it it gave me a little bit more movement on the core and moving on to three got a little bit more movement on the core some counter rotation and I think we yep we got the first one open okay let's move to the silver core and binding on the first one got one click still more feedback and we just dropped into a really deep fall set now take a look at that that is HUGE as far as fall sets go and I've picked this before and I can tell you that when it drops into this false set pins two and three simply will not move I'm assuming there's some sort of really deep undercut there so what I have to do is reset this and pick it in the opposite order that I normally do I'm gonna have to pick two and three before I touch number one or this simply will not open there's some really nasty pins in the back and probably some modifications to the core as well okay I think I got three and two is giving me some trouble there we go I think I got 2/3 still feel set so let's try to drop number 1 now and there we go we got the silver core open now let's move on to the gold core ok click out of one I think that's it click at it too and not much movement but I think he feels set then 3 okay I got a click there let's move it back to the beginning click at a1 and we opened it up okay let's take this guy apart and see what's inside let's relock all of these since I do have the key and let me actually show you the mechanism of the fidgets spinner first the the two finger holds are threaded together I don't know if these were custom-made if they were that was really really impressive work and they simply stay in place there and then the bearing around which this rotates is held in place by three Allen set screws around the side so just loosen them up half a turn each and hopefully this will come out and indeed it does so let's give you a close-up of this really nice little bearing here okay now let's take these clips off and start gutting this we'll start with the bronze core okay I'm gonna drop a shim in here it's a practice I've started on all challenge locks because you just never know what's in these things these days you guys have gotten so darn creative in creating challenge locks let's just say in this arms war the defense is progressing faster than the offense okay the first pin is a homemade serrated so is the second so is the third and it looks like we have an undercut in slot 1 and a serration or threading in slot 3 okay let's get the driver pins out of here okay we have a ring to spool in slot 1 looks like that could have come from a dom lock though it could also be homemade it's hard to tell and in slot 2 we have a homemade T pin and in slot 3 we have the homemade serrated pin and it looks like all the springs are the same if not well similar if not the same then if we look at the core here or the Bible it looks like we have threading in slots 2 & 3 I don't see anything in slot 1 okay let's move on to the silver core now getting this shim in here now mm-hmm that doesn't want to move for me may that shims not quite in all the way recall that this is the one that was giving me by far the most trouble okay think nope gosh that shim is really tight in there well let's see what happens gosh and the answer is nothing mmm Wow okay got this one out and whoa we have a lot of modifications to this core let me drop the pins out of here first and then we can take a look at this homemade serrated homemade serrated and homemade serrated let me flip these around and then I'll give you a close-up of that core okay as I suspected we have some really deep undercuts on slots two and three and some threading in slot one Wow a lot of work in here nice job Daniel now let's get the driver pins out I'm assuming we've got some schools and slots two and three to take advantage of that that undercut and slot one is threaded I'm sorry serrated okay a spool and slot one and a very light I'm sorry spooling slot - and a very light spring and a spool in slot three and a normal spring let's see if he did anything with the the Bible in this one and it doesn't look like you did those look those look like they've been left standard okay now for the gold core this one's giving me trouble as well probably because there's some nasty pins and sharp edges in there okay I think I've got this okay good it worked out I think I've got this it they're famous last words when guttin challenged locks okay so you've a standard in slot 1 a 2-piece pin in slot 2 okay with one-piece fitting inside of the other that's pretty cool and slot 3 is another standard let's take a look at this one looks like we have some undercutting in slot 3 and nothing in slots 1 & 2 okay number one is a homemade tea pen number two is a standard pin put the spring next to it number three homemade spool to take advantage of that undercut let's take a look at the Bible here I think it was this one right here and it looks like we have threading in in slot one and that's it okay I should have marked these to make sure I put them back in the right spots but I'll probably just watch the video before I put it back together okay let me give you a close-up of all of this okay for our pins slots 1 2 & 3 have the bronze core you can see we have serrated key pins a ringed spool for the first driver pin a tee pin in slot 2 and a homemade serrated pin in slot 3 then we move move over to 4 5 & 6 that is our serrated I'm sorry our silver core again serrated key pins a homemade serrated driver pin in slot 1 and some spools and slots 2 and 3 and then over to the gold core that's in slot 7 & 8 and we have 2 standard key pins in the first and third slot and a two-piece keepin in slot 8 I'm sorry in slot 2 and then for the driver pins we have a tee pin in the first a standard in the second and a homemade serrated spool in the third ok moving over to these cores in the bottom left is the bronze core and we have an undercut in slot 1 standard slot 2 threading in slot 3 the silver core which is the top left is really incredible we've got a threaded chamber one then we have the undercutting that's very very deep that's designed to give you a really false set a really deep false set in slots two and three absolutely incredible work and then the gold core standard slots one and two and an undercut in slot three so Daniel thank you very very much for sending me this my way this is by far the most fun challenge lock I have ever received so everyone else if you do have any questions or comments please put them below if you like this video and would like to see more like it please

I never thought I’d actually say this, but I kind of want a fidget spinner...

This specific one. Not a generic one...

[u/JpMcPinning]

Love it! 😊 my son (hes a novice picker) would love one. Ask Daniel when they will be available to the public.😂

[u/Pikmor]

This is awesome. Wish I had tools and skills to make these!
