This is the lock picking lawyer, and what I have for you today is a dual custody padlock that I'm told was made in Soviet Lithuania in the 19 sixties.

Gerund

This lock is quite big, weighing in at about £4.4 it features an absurdly think 18 millimeters sliding bolt Shackle.

To-infinitive

As I said, this is a dual custody padlock, meaning that it takes two different keys, presumably held by two separate people to operate the lock.

Essentially, it is the physical embodiment of the so called to man rule, which is common in militaries and sensitive facilities.

But the concept was far more widespread in the industry of the Soviet Union, and that's because of the well developed black market for ordinary consumer goods.

As such, a dual custody lock like this was employed to keep all sorts of products from disappearing into the black market.

The two keys for the lock are made of steel and are extraordinarily crude by modern standards.

One and two thes correspond with the markings on the bottom one and two.

So let's put these into the appropriate course and rotate them counterclockwise, which is uncommon on American locks but common on old Soviet locks.

After we do that, the shackle can be removed so on to picking.

Now, when this was new, this would have been a fairly easy lock to pick.

Everything on this lock is made out of either steel or iron, even the course and the pins.

That makes the pins hard to move, and everything feels pretty crunchy inside.

So it presents some pretty interesting challenges.

All that said, let's get to work picking okay to rotate thes counterclockwise and we'll start with the core labeled number one.

One three is But I'm sorry too, is binding.

12 three for, uh, click out of five thing on one to his binding.

We're getting lots of clicks out of each pin, which probably means that they have rounded ends on the pins.

The best way to deal with rounded ends on the pins is really heavy tension, but I can't do that right now because really heavy tension with all of this rust would seize all of those pins up.

Gotta click out of five, but it's still binding.

Little click out of one two is binding tightly.

Nothing on three for his binding quick out of four.

Here we go, little click out of three, and finally we open this up.

So that took quite a while, considering that each of the cores have only five pins, but they are standard pins that are very, very rusty.

So it's not the locket is the rusty internals that make this so tricky a lock to pick.

Either way, I think it's an interesting old lock.
