This video goes over the concept of binding order. When you are picking a lock the driver pins bind in a specific order specific to each lock. Each lock has it’s own binding order and it can change when you change the keying and the driver pins (adding security pins).
When you apply tension to the plug one of the driver pins will begin to bind, it will feel like it is providing resistance and is not springy or loose. Lock picking exploits the imperfections in a lock, some locks have poor tolerances and more expensive locks have tighter tolerances. No lock can have perfect tolerances theoretically, and this is the very exploit we use to open locks. These variations make lock picking possible and they create the binding order of the lock. When you are picking you probe each driver pin for one that is binding (one the has resistance and does not feel springy or loose) and once you set that pin the next binding pin will make itself known. You repeat this until all the driver pins are lifted to shear and the lock opens. When you figure out the binding order you have unlocked the map to open the lock.
Learning binding order is an important concept to master, especially when you start to progress to more difficult locks with tighter tolerances.

I am a 73 year old hobbyist. I stumbled on some lock picking videos that aroused my interest. From these I ended up totally confused. That is, until I found your videos. Your instructions are so concise and eventually intuitive. Many thanks for making an old man happy. Keep up the good work!!
-
I’ve never picked a lock in my life but by the end I was like “yeah, five is definitely binding.”
-
Picking locks has become my fidget spinner. Its calming and like a puzzle or rubix cube after work to keep my mind focused on the lock picking. Thanks for video!
-
YOUR VIDEOS HAVE HELPED ME Because Knowing how to pick locks has really opened a lot of doors for me 😏
-
That was brilliantly described.
-
As a beginner with the kit and having unlocked it a few times experimenting with the technique, that explained a huge amount regards the binding order and how important it is to understand the mechanics behind the bind and the order. I was experiencing this, but I didn't understand it. Now I understand what I was seeing and feeling. One of those lightbulb moments. Thanks.
-
You are a godsend, I was so confused at first, but you taught it brilliantly!
-
I'm probably just repeating what others have already said... but you simply ROCK!!! Love your vids .. Simple to follow and to the point.. Bravo👏👏👏
-
I have to say you're one of the best teachers on You-Tube. I can follow and copy your actions and I'm learning bit by bit. Big thanks from me,
-
One tip (that I’ve never seen anyone mention) for finding the first binding pin is use the flat side of a pick (like the underside of a triangular pick) or even the handle of a tension wrench to put all of the pins up as high as you can, then apply tension, and then slowly remove the tool which is holding the pins up. You’ll hear each pin (except one)click back down as you draw the end of the lifting tool past it. The one that didn’t click down is the first binder.

This really cleared up a lot for me. Very well explained - thank you
-

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT video and series. The clearest and most concise ! Keep up the great work as there is none better on YouTube for understanding locks. Would love to see working with sliders and disc lick mechanisms in the future.
