  Did all this at uni in the bar. We had data from a few room keys and main door keys, noting they were in different numbering (letter) ranges. And knowing from the night porter that there were masters and grand masters. <br>It didn&apos;t take too many beers to conclude that all the locks must have had had multiple pin stacks.<br>Blanks were restricted, but they would replace keys if you lost yours. <br>Though these would be supplied cut and we suspected that the masters would always have deeper cuts in the masters. So we built up the key with solder and cut it with a sharp knife.<br>Worked like a dream.<br><br>All pre-internet days with no help other than having that sort of mind.

  He&apos;s the keymaster, like the guy from the matrix. He can get you anywhere you wanna go.

  the more I delve into this the more interesting it gets, I love a good puzzle, I keep getting different kinds of padlocks, but they rarely elude me for very long, and videos like this make for a better understanding of what is actually going on in the locks. Keep the videos coming I definitely appreciate what you are doing.

  About that contest, I wonder if people just went and bought a lot of keys and then traded repeats over.

  Very well done presentation. I&quot;m a Certified Master Locksmith and I give it an &quot;A&quot;. Vulnerability to hacking is a major reason why master keying residences is usually a bad idea.<br><br><br>Regarding restricted keyways... if it&apos;s protected by a utility patent, the workaround described in this video is still a violation of the patent. Utility patents are based on what *works*. If you create (without permission) a key that works, you violated the patent, even if your key has extra millings that the patent doesn&apos;t show. Nonetheless, it&apos;s true that restricted keys are not a perfect solution because you can&apos;t be 100% sure that no one will obtain blanks.<br><br><br>A quick note about terminology. This video uses the term &quot;shear line&quot; in a non-standard way, saying that you lift the shear line to the edge of the plug. The LIST Council locksmith dictionary says the shear line <b>is</b> the edge of the plug. It&apos;s more accurate to say you lift the pin breaks <b>to</b> the shear line. At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVPSaKLKHd4&amp;t=454">7:34</a> the video says &quot;multiple shear lines&quot;. There is only one shear line in this type of lock. It&apos;s more accurate to say multiple combinations that could reach the shear line. I often hear other locksmiths use the term in this way; it&apos;s a common mistake. You might not even call it a mistake, it&apos;s just nonstandard.

  Excellent video as always :) &nbsp;Those Miwa&apos;s are great locks. &nbsp;Dimples plus magnetic sliders. &nbsp;Definitely a lot of fun. &nbsp;I posted a video picking one of those open with a diy magnetic pick. &nbsp;3rd ever pick on camera. &nbsp;Anyway, great video and thanks for sharing this. &nbsp;:)
