Description
The 7 pin tubular lock pick that opens the round keyway, then reads the cut back
Tubular locks do not take a flat key. The pins sit in a ring around a central post, the kind you find on vending machines, bike locks, gun locks, arcade and pinball cabinets, and plenty of tubular padlocks. This 7 pin tubular pick works all seven pins together, then the numbered decoder key reads off where they set so you can record the bitting and repeat the open or have a key cut.
Tubular locks need a round tool, not a flat pick
A pin tumbler lock you would attack with a hook and tension wrench has its pins in a straight row. A tubular lock, sometimes called a circular or radial lock, puts its pins in a ring around a central post, so the key is a hollow cylinder rather than a flat blade. You meet that round keyway across vending kit, two-wheeled security, firearm storage, alarm panels, amusement cabinets, and a good number of tubular padlocks. A standard pick set cannot reach into that geometry. A dedicated tubular pick can.
This tool slides over the central post, lines its seven fine picking needles up with the lock's seven pins, and presses them all toward the shear line together while you apply light rotational tension. When the plug turns, you are in. The clever part comes next: the needles hold the depth they found, so you bring the numbered decoder against them and read the bitting straight off the scale.
Seven stainless needles ring the central post and press the pins together, not one at a time.
From round keyway to a recorded cut in four moves
A self-contained pick and decoder, not a bare needle
Everything you need to open a 7 pin tubular lock and record the cut is here in one tool.
Two hands, light tension, an even press
One hand steadies the clear alignment sleeve so the tool sits square on the keyway. The other turns the grip and feeds light rotational tension. The needles press as a set, so you are not chasing one pin at a time the way you would with a hook.
Because all seven needles move together, the open is about a smooth, even push more than fast hands. Once the plug gives, ease off the tension and the decoder does the reading. That is the whole loop: pick, feel the turn, decode the cut.

Round out the bench around the tubular job
Tubular picking lives on light, even tension, so a spread of general tension tools helps you find the lightest touch that still holds the core. If you want more range on the round keyway itself, the Multi-Gauge 3-Piece set for 7 pin tubular locks gives you alternate needle gauges to try. And when you want to add pick-and-decode coverage on flat keyways, the Lishi 2-in-1 range is the natural companion.
Dial in your tension
A set of tension styles lets you feed the lightest pressure the plug will take.
More tubular range
Multi-gauge needles give you another way at stubborn 7 pin keyways.
Decode and record
The numbered scale turns a one-time open into a repeatable cut.
Widen the work
Lishi 2-in-1 tools cover the flat-keyway side of pick-and-decode.
Tension Tool Set
Light, even tension is what opens tubular locks cleanly. A spread of styles helps you find your touch.
Multi-Gauge 3-Piece Tubular Set
Alternate needle gauges for 7 pin tubular locks when one size will not seat cleanly.
Lishi 2-in-1 Range
Pick-and-decode coverage for flat keyways, the natural next step beyond the round keyway.
Quick answers from the LockPickWorld bench
What is a tubular lock, and where will I find one?
It is a lock with its pins set in a ring around a central post, opened by a hollow cylindrical key. You see them on vending and coin machines, bike and cable locks, gun cabinets and trigger locks, arcade and pinball machines, and many tubular padlocks. A flat pick cannot reach that geometry, which is why this round tool exists.
What does the decoder do?
After you pick the lock, the needles hold the depth they found. You bring the numbered decoder key against them and read each pin's setting off the scale. Write that bitting down and you can repeat the open or have a working key cut, instead of re-picking from scratch each time.
Is this approachable if I am still learning?
Yes. Tubular picking is mostly a steady, even press with light tension, which many people find friendlier than single-pin picking a flat keyway. Practise the motion slowly on a 7 pin tubular lock you own and the feel comes fast. Keep the tension light and let the plug tell you when the pins set.
Will it open any tubular lock?
It is built for 7 pin tubular and circular keyways, which covers the common ones. Tired, grit-filled, or higher-security cores can fight back, and a clean open still leans on your technique and the state of the lock. For 8 or 10 pin tubular jobs you would reach for a tool sized to that pin count instead.
One tool that opens the round keyway and reads it back
Pick seven pins at once, feel the plug turn, then decode the bitting so the open becomes a record. Bring light tension, a little patience, and a lock you have permission to open, and tubular locks stop being a mystery.
