Sargent & Greenleaf 833 Picked and Gutted

[chris]

I got this lock from Raymond over on LP101. He saw my Hi-Shear video and messaged me about giving his 833 a try.
It has no keys and he wanted it open CCW so he could replace the core with one that he has keys for. I said I'd give it ago.
He even offered to pay me for the time, I said no, I'll do it for the opportunity to mess around with that bad ass lock.

Anyway, here's the video of it being picked and gutted. Six pin Medeco Biaxial, two mushrooms, four stainless drivers.
Six regular key pins, not ARX, full slot from top to bottom on the pins, each pin had a false gate.

Seen this post earlier, but waited till off work. Just sat down with a cup of coffee and THOROUGHLY enjoyed this one Chris!

So, let me get this straight.. the 826C, 831B, and the Hi-Shear all have Classice Medeco cores. And this 833 is a biaxial. Correct?

It's always a pleasure to watch a master!

Thanks guys. Oldfast: I believe that is the case, I was told by another guy that has an 833 and he told me that it is a Biaxial.

Chris,
I also had to wit 'til I got home to see the vid. Absolutely beautiful. You guys are going to inspire me to start picking Medeco after all!

Thanks Magician, glad you liked it, Medeco's are definitely fun to pick, though very frustrating at times.

Very well done. And on video too.

Didn't happen to record the sidebar code or bitting did you ?

No keys for it, I still have the core, so I'm sure I could figure it out though.
