(51) Medeco Biaxial Payphone Lock Picked and Partially Gutted

In this video I am picking open and gutting a Medeco Biaxial Payphone Lock that I recently got of Ebay! This is a 4-pin lock with two Mushroom security pins and 2 standard pins and is a blue belt level lock on the Lock Pickers United Belt System!

Before recording this video I made some practice runs and my best time was around a few minutes, but when the camera started the lock decided to put up a fight! If you want to jump to the attempt that actually got the lock open, jump to the 15:37 mark.

This was a really challenging lock and I ran into some issues when trying to unscrew the retaining clip towards the end. I tried to edit the video to remove the eternal struggle, but my OBS settings got changed to a format that I couldn't import into my editors. So please feel free to use the time marks below to skip over the eternal struggle of trying to unscrew a very tiny and very soft screw that was tightened by Hercules himself!

I am just a newbie in the locksport/lockpicking world. I am not a professional and only have been in this hobby for a few months at this point.

Let's keep lock sport legal! Only pick locks that you own and do not use!
