Yeah same idea behind my lock too:

I'd guess many many people have had this same idea.

According to the video's pinned comment thread, that lock was sent to LockPickingLayer a few months ago, who never responded. I suppose, from my cousin comment, that it's with the other locks LPL can't pick yet.

Yeah. In fairness someone did link a method that I think could my lock (and this one). Basically you attach a laser to it so you can very accurately tell how far the key turned. That gives you a way to test the pins even though you can't directly manipulate them.

Very very tedious though and I never tried it.

LPL Did both the locks in video 1299: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ecy1FBdCRbQ

Yours is so much simpler and more elegant. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful.

Thanks!

I quite liked your version. Seems a bit more robust but I know nothing about this space and perhaps it was just that your presentation was fascinating

It certainly seems like a simpler, cleaner design. So did LPL try to pick it? (Edit: I see you wrote elsewhere in the thread that he never replied.)
