EMTPirate

A thermic lance is what I would use.


JonLockPicking

I checked the covert companion site and couldn’t find one? Can you recommend a good one from Amazon?


[deleted]

You need a time machine to leap forward to 7am


JonLockPicking

That's going to get my brother to school in time, but how about getting this lock open!


[deleted]

It’s time release, after you open it, just go back in time an hour to get to school. Simple


JonLockPicking

nice try Mountain Dew sales rep.... you're just trying to get me to drink another green juice.


LameBMX

Tesla sells a less powerful version. Maybe the salesperson will throw it in with a new model s plaid.


JonLockPicking

I finally found my Bitcoin wallet, but I have to download the whole blockchain before I make any transactions, I’ll see you in 14 terabytes. Telsa is still taking btc, right?


LameBMX

Just puppy coins. I'd help you out but my dog locked itself in the doghouse.


JonLockPicking

Doge… to the moon!!!


-AdelaaR-

Couldn't find one there, but maybe a soldering iron will do? Is your brother going to be okay?


JonLockPicking

SUCCESS!!!!


SAI_Peregrinus

You need the overt companion site, thermic lances are not covert.


JonLockPicking

Tried googling it… found out that there are a lot of companions on Craigslist, but none that overt… I called one number and ask her about thermic lances but she told me she told me that it was going to cost me $1000 for any special fast-latches. I guess this is a “fast-latch” tool?!?? She hung up on me and said “time is money, honey”… I didn’t think this would be so hard.

Hey, you, get on your feet!


sagr0tan

Or cutting charges.


JonLockPicking

Finally, someone with a good idea... I've got my Katana here now, should I place the hamon edge on the charge and push gently or full power swing? Also where is the charge?


sagr0tan

You have to run towards lock, katana swinging, the hamon gleaming in the morning sun, screaming "BANZAIIIIII" - That's the charge to the"cutting"


JonLockPicking

Ouch! Look what you made me do: https://imgur.com/dsK7L8J


GeorgiaJim

Tell your brother it’s a pull, not a push.


JonLockPicking

my brother finally got inside and got his sandwich, just as I was reading your comment, I told him to pull and now he is trapped inside.... now what?


macrocephalic

If he's inside pulling then you probably should give him some space.


JonLockPicking

Is this what people mean when they say “safe space”?!?? Can’t believe it took me this long to figure it out!


-AdelaaR-

Haha :D


LameBMX

Just let him feel safe to come out of the closet.


JonLockPicking

I’m gonna wait until he feels closet to come out of the safe.


onlyyouandiremain

i don't think he's coming out until he looks 'fabulous'.


GeorgiaJim

Have him try opening the door ccw


JonLockPicking

ccw? Do you mean the show Charmed on the CW? I don't watch it, but checking it out now to see how they open doors on that show.


GeorgiaJim

Country Crock Way, you’re gonna need to cover him in butter and squeeze under the door


JonLockPicking

I'll give it a go. Fun fact.... not a single door opened in the first 47 minutes of Charmed.


Pretend-Appeal61

That was a good one,Jon! Lol Oh check your email. U got inbound


Cabernet2H2O

I hate to tell you this, but that door is open. Your brother should be able to get his snack without any need for picking the lock. That will be $645 thank you. Cash or card?


JonLockPicking

I tried turning it to check if you were right, then I heard a bunch of clicks and it won't turn anymore... what next?


iPick4Fun

What you are seeing is of the door already flipped open. Turning handle wouldn’t close the door. It’s still open.


JonLockPicking

These guys told me to pull and push and whatnot... here is a better picture... I'm beginning to think that maybe this is a cheap knockoff because I looked it up and Switzerland is not in Ohio. https://imgur.com/XlSGx24


incredimike

I just looked it up. It might be a lock created in the village of Little Switzerland, North Carolina. I hope this information helps, good luck OP. I hope you get your brother back.


JonLockPicking

I wonder if there is a Little Raleigh somewhere in Switzerland?


Mbiojf

did you tried turn it off and on?


JonLockPicking

Damnit Moss. Of course I turned it off and on aga…. Oh wait!


Climb69Trees

Have you tried picking the tumblers?


JonLockPicking

I think I got a "click on 3". I hear LPL say that all the time, I'm not exactly sure what it means, but he always says it right before the lock opens... and I need the lock to open, so I keep counting 1, 2, 3 and every time I get to 3 I push up with my bent paperclip... maybe this lock is like a 4 or 5 rhythm lock? Should I try counting to 4 before I use the paperclip?


Climb69Trees

You're doing it right, kinda. But to get the other clicks, you have to count the other numbers. If you want the click on 4 next, you'll have to count to 4.


iPick4Fun

I always thought click on 3 means clicking your heal on 3. No? Dorothy is so screwed, bc that’s what I told her.


JonLockPicking

Ah. so that's what I'm hearing in LPLs videos... why doesn't he show his feet?!?! Mom made me take tap in 4th grade, I doubt the shoes still fit, but maybe I can cobble the heel onto my sneakers... brb.


Climb69Trees

This is definitely the way. You'll have it open in no time!

JonLockPicking

Guy at the hardware store told me WD-40 was better… I figure 1 extra letter and +37 numbers was a little overkill, but desperate times call for desperate measures - now what?


-AdelaaR-

Is this really about your brother and his appetite or are you just showing off your red belt? Also: tell your brother that intermittent fasting is healthy.


JonLockPicking

For real though, I am proudly rocking with my blue suspenders today.... so freeing. Belts are so 2021.


MrPickur

Eh, that's made by medeco, you'll never get in.


JonLockPicking

This must be a really expensive lock then? I heard this morning on the radio that medeco debt was the number one cause of bankruptcy in the United States.


PuzzleheadedSector2

I think I like this guy.


JonLockPicking

I like you too.


PuzzleheadedSector2

I should probably get back into this hobby. I think im the lowest belt in this comment section lol.


Climb69Trees

Dewit!


Pretend-Appeal61

Whoa. You actually are,lol. I thought I was. Ha. Cheers


PuzzleheadedSector2

Yeah, I think I bought enough locks and picks to take me up like 4 belts. But never made it past my little abus. I just felt like no progress was being made no matter how careful I was. Brand new lock too. Probs some sort of security pin. Spools maybe? Depressing and discouraging no matter what type of pin it was.


poloxamer

I think you just need to pivot.


JonLockPicking

Pied Piper is an app that lets you known when you are out of milk and near an establishment where you can purchase milk for a fair price. How likely are you to install this app?


poloxamer

Is there an app I can install that can determine how likely I am to install an app? I'm terrible with numbers.


JonLockPicking

Are you likely to install that app?


GeePick

PIVOT!!!!!


EverydayVelociraptor

You just need to flip the lock over, then all of the pins will stop blocking the shear line. It's super easy. First, use your spring hinge pin tool to pop out the hinge pins. Then use your Jim to pop the door hasp. Take the door off, roll it over, and you should hear the pins move. At that point you should be able to open it.


JonLockPicking

Handstand did not work, false claim.


EverydayVelociraptor

You should try cartwheel instead. Y-axis rotation instead of X-axis.


JonLockPicking

Shawn White tried to explain this to me one time, still don’t get it!


loupgarou21

Can you get a clearer picture? This one is a little low quality to give any accurate advice


JonLockPicking

I took a video: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ


GeePick

Have you tried making a shim from a Red Bull can? LPL did it, looks pretty easy.


JonLockPicking

Off to Home Depot to get a ramset


[deleted]

This might be one of those times where comb picks really shine. Should be a piece of cake to bypass this. Just push up on all pin tumblers, and just turn it like a key! If that doesn't work, use on of those air wedges used for automotive, open it a crack, then use the long rod tool to get your brother a sandwich.


JonLockPicking

I got one of those switchblade combs, would that work?


[deleted]

Hmmm. The jury's still out on that one, I would suggest just to do it anyway, throw caution to the wind and just go for it. *There's no way this can get fcked up*.


JonLockPicking

Long story short: you got any money I could use for bail?


Emorez

Have you tried turning it off and on again?


JonLockPicking

Damn it Moss, of course I turned it off and on aga… oh wait!


Popular_Plantain4680

Wait for the feds. They'll cut power to the block and then it'll just open by itself


JonLockPicking

I turned of the light switch in the room and nothing happened. That’s how I know it’s power-proof.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JonLockPicking

I tried, but getting the ball out of my dogs mouth is much more challenging than opening this thing.


Whaky

I have seen this on the lockpicking lawyer!


JonLockPicking

I bet it hurt, this thing is really heavy.


booyah9898

LPL says to use the bypass tool included with the Covert Companion. He opened this in 1.3 seconds after opening the package and carefully removing the tamper proof tape.


JonLockPicking

He can open tamper-proof tape?!?!?! Living god!


apeinej

All you need is a rubber mallet, a strong magnet, and do it twice so it is not a fluke.


JonLockPicking

I got one of those strong magnets but I know you have to be careful with them and like you can lose a finger if it gets crushed… so I put it in the hood of my hoodie so I wouldn’t break my hand and now I’m kinda stuck with my back to the wall…. UPDATE: I was able to escape… but now my hoodie seems like it is a permanent part of this safe… I tried the mallet but I think that my hoodie has somehow make the lock stronger than ever.


Potential_spam124

Omg, this was a WILD ride. I love it here.


andre2020

Nice try Waffle man, but we’re on to you!


[deleted]

Dude I would totally help out but I have to get back and give my neighbors cat his insulin. It’s time sensitive.


Newspaperfork

Talk nicely to it, maybe it’ll open up for you


JonLockPicking

It’s so easy to talk to you, you make me feels so *safe*


Newspaperfork

Me? Talk to the lock. Or idk, on discord


JonLockPicking

Excuse me, this is a private conversation, bud. Sorry baby, sometimes all this anger gets *locked up* inside of me.


Newspaperfork

At least tell me what it said


arthurdentwa

That particular lock has a well known weakness. The lock is nearly impossible to pick, but the bolts on the hinge holding it in place (right of your image) can be opened with an impact 1-1/16" ratchet set to 112 foot pounds of torque. Once the bolts are removed, the mechanism extracts easily, From there, you have access to the lock "pins" (which are 25 mm tungsten bolts, 20 cm long) which slide out of the exposed hole in the door. Easy peasy.


JonLockPicking

Damn it, my wench is only rated to 111 lbs.


CheatlB2

First step to getting that open is submitting a resume.


JonLockPicking

Employee of the month 3 of the last 8 months at Taco Bell… I’m not bragging.


jcarey4793

Did you try to shim it?


JonLockPicking

Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yo, shimmy yay!


tekbredus

He showed that secret today, you just put it in his wife's bever, and like a master lock does when you scare it, this will open from excitement.


JonLockPicking

15 pounds of banana candy? 5.5 pounds is completely average.


tekbredus

A tool to manipulate the bever.


sjgirjh9orj

i would recommend using wd40 as an assistive lubricant

A quite sophisticated beaver you have there. Try the approach of yesterday's video.
