I Picked a USED RICH DOOR Disc Detainer — Real‑World Challenge

Today I’m picking a used RICH DOOR Disc Detainer — a real‑world lock with real‑world wear, grime, hammer damage, and unpredictable feedback. This isn’t a clean, factory‑fresh disc detainer. This lock has been abused, weathered, and possibly attacked with a screwdriver, making every disc gritty, inconsistent, and challenging to read. That’s exactly why this pick is worth watching. In this video, I walk through the entire process of opening a disc detainer with only five discs — an unusually low count for this type of lock. After scoping the lock and confirming the disc stack, I test different driver disc assumptions, adjust tension strategy, and work through the gritty resistance caused by dirt, wear, and environmental abuse. You’ll see real‑world disc behavior: Gritty rotation and inconsistent feedback Difficulty identifying the correct driver disc Binding order changes False assumptions corrected mid‑pick Disc gates found through tactile feedback The final rotation when everything aligns If you’re learning disc detainer picking, this video shows the actual challenges you’ll face outside of brand‑new practice locks. No gimmicks — just honest technique, real feedback, and a lock that’s been through hell.
