Page 5 always makes me think of "The Creation of Adam".
Also...
PROTIP: a zero pin lock like the one Sugimura uses is called a warded lock. You can tell by the paddle-shape of the key. It works by blocking the passage of any key but one cut to match the "wards" inside the lock. A warded lock can be picked easily enough with a paperclip or the tension bar of a tumbler pick set.
Also, be advised that bearded and pin-tumbler locks are not the full extent of paddle and door locks. Wafer tumbler, combination locks, circular ward-and-tumbler locks and magnetic locks are common today.
Some locksets made by MediCo are literally unpickable due to the double pin and bearing tumbler system used.
Know your equipment, know how they work and how to defeat them.

@raudhbjorn medico locks are not unpickable, but very difficult to pick. They require specialized picking tools, but you can crack them. I think LockPickingLawyer on youtube has some videos about picking medico locks. If he doesn't then I'm sure BosnianBill does.

That's going to be a shock to the federal government who contracted with Medico for the locks based on that selling point.
I'd have to see the tools to believe that claim. It takes two hands to work the pins, and then the bearing tumblers are individual, spring-loaded bearings some of which must be depressed while others relaxed in order to pick. You cant tell which ones are which without experimentation, and the pin tumblers have to be picked at the same time, so you need a half-dozen extra hands and the patience of a saint to pull it off.
Something tells me just possessing a device to pick one is enough to get you on a no-fly list and a stern talking to by the FBI.

@raudhbjorn I don't know about that. I mean, the videos are on youtube. You should look it up, it's not like it's really well hidden. They're difficult to pick, but by no means impossible. The only way to make a truly unpickable lock is to weld it shut. Watch this video https://youtu.be/4fh6IHCr7uo

Thanks for the vid, very cool!
Okay, you saw the pins and the sidebar? Now add to that a series of ball bearings on the opposite side of the key way from the the sidebar.
The bearings (which are scattered across the key face, not in a line) are spring loaded so they always press into the key way and some of them fit into milled divots in the side of the key. Unless the correct key is inserted into the lock, the bearings are pressed back into the core in the wrong pattern preventing the tumblers from disengaging.
Because the bearings have to be depressed all at the same time to disengage the tumblers on that side you need to depress each one individually, and simultaneously, while also picking the vertical tumblers and actuating the sidebar as well.
It literally requires that the picker have 8-10 hands and be able to systematically try the bearing tumblers in 64 possible combinations (IIRC) until you hit the right one.
Oh, and ALL of the tumblers (pin, bar and bearings) may or may not be drill protected. This combination of factors make the lock unpickable under field conditions and damned near impossible in a workshop.
The standard procedure for a locksmith who has to deal with a broken or keyless one is to pull the entire core and send it back to Medeco for repair or to read them the serial number off the core for a new key to be made.
This concludes my TEDtalk, thank you for watching.
