Best 7 Pin Padlock to control in 8 sec

I picked American 1100 in 8 sec in This video and then picked the 5100 in less than a minute I disassembled the 1100 all serrated pins, no spools. the 5100 has two spools 3 serrated pins

My most recent lock I recieved from a locksmith yesterday evening, American with chicago keyway, this isn't a video since My housing for school is way out in the boondocks and no internet, but I snapped a few pictures on my iphone

I also recieved 4 5100 series americans and a 1105 series from him
I flew straight thru the 5100 locks so he pinned the 1105 to be very difficult, he said it is all up and down as much as it would allow. It is giving me hell, cant get it at all, have a crappy picture of it below, as far as i can tell pins 1 3 and 5 are 7's or 8's and 2 and 4 are shallow cut from feel, he would not tell me what it was.

Just Rekeyed All of my Sargent and greenleaf cylinders

Hey Guys here it is the Code Setting keys in Action Picking a Medeco M3 cylinder not quite as fast as Marc weber Tobias pretty close though, but I will get there, I neede to file the keys down a little they get stuck and makes it hard to extract without disrupting code, you notice I have to jiggle quite a bit.

Very exciting stuff Corey! You've certainly done your homework. lol

You just got those things and you're already killin em'... I'd imagine after some practice you'll be hittin' record times.

Saw XEO do this not to long ago so I asked to borrow some cylinders from the locksmith to try it out.
This was my first try straight out of his box, using peterson prybar reach and my homebrew gem

Cylinder is picked to control but would only move slightly forward, it is my understanding that these cylinders can be set up to have control tab on either side so I may need to pick to control the opposite direction. I tried this the opposite way and I hit operating everytime.

UPDATE: Cylinder was picked to control the cylinder had to be pressed out the mortise was crushed slightly putting control lug in a bind, The corbins can be switched so the control lug operates on the other side if taken completely down and you reverse it just like on some of the LFIC cores like medeco etc.

First Try with American Lock vs BumpKey

Bumped open using one hand with index finger

well raking his a form of bumping the pins , so really no key his needed.
just a fast reflex and bingo.

Just got a Wise Lock in the mail and forgot my picks at home had to use a paperclip, thing kept bending and digging into my fingers and the damn things are awkward as hell to hold and tension
