This seems like a great lock, very few people wanting to pick your lock will know about the button thing, also it doesn't seem like a simple pick at all.
I feel like this goes for a lot of locks he picks as he already knows what he's dealing with before starting and he can chose his tool and approach accordingly.
It’s not simple to pick your right. But it looks very vulnerable to a snap attack with a snapping bar or massive vise grips. Most locks in Europe are very hard to pick so they snap the whole lock in half then open the door or whatever with a screwdriver.
1:27 Pick inserted 3:02 Lock gives up the fight With an LPL pick time of 1:35, I'd be pretty confident putting this on a door. Shame I'd have a window right next to it, but in a perfect-enough world...

Buy him a decent (but not so expensive) set of picks into his school cone. I wonder when teachers will confiscate the picks and what they say when they call you in.
@@HSishi "little click on one, two is binding tightly..... can't seem to figure out what's holding us up....and there it is open, scissors for everyone"
1:35, actually. I haven't timed enough LPL picks to solidify any sort of ranking system, but I think that puts this lock solidly in the "good enough" pile.
@@StopChangingUsernamesTH-cam yeah. security pins, the active element (which if you don't have the key, you probably won't guess, although that's probably more against copying than picking), the drill pins and ~1:30 pick-time by LPL sure make this seem like one of the better locks I've seen featured on this channel. But then I'm really no expert or long time subscriber...
Rav Bariach's are pretty much standard here in Israel. They are more known for their entrance doors (the Pladelet brand) . It's actually quite uncommon to find door locks (or doors) from other outfits. They are known for being pretty reliable. (p.s. "Rav Bariach" literally translates to "Multi Lock")
Also the text on the card conveniently mentions that "...in order to get a precise copy of the key, it is advisable to use this card" and "...it is advisable to use the services of a licensed key copy maker". Dunno about that, but Azulay from the tool store down the street can pretty much copy anything, licensed of not :))
@@StanislavG. Technically each store can duplicate those keys if they know the model #. However, there's a 100,000 NIS fine for any store that duplicates keys without an interactive card, and I know lock brands send people to "test stores" with that.
you wouldn't be able to see a "small crack", this is a substantial crack. seems to be a casting error. I guess LPL judged that it's in a place where it doesn't affect security.
What I like about your channel is that if the vid is short the lock is trash and easily compromised but if the vid is long, and 8 mins is long for this channel, then there must be something interesting about the lock being picked.
He has picked locks that he received without a key before. But it would certainly take longer in this case. I believe he’d figure it out but that interactive element would probably confuse him for a second before he figured it out.
It's matter of experience and knowledge. the more you know of different locks the better the chances when you pick a lock that you will understand what you face against and figure out a strategy to pick the lock .
Barry Fields that’s what my dad said as well. And you are exactly right. The better locks hopefully will make the bad guys look for an easier target instead of you.
Consider that in Israel all locks are mounter upside down compared to USA (or at least to how it's mounted in this video) If this can slow down the picker, this should be mentioned as well :)
I have a question. As an Israeli this lock is mainly installed 180 from how you picked it. Meaning the key hole is at the top. Would that make your picking harder or just different?
I'm not sure about this lock, but I find most locks easier to pick when the pin stacks are on the bottom. Others may have different experiences, though.
Awesome pick, that torpedo key pin would have held me up, I'm quite prone to oversetting, I'd be looking for a spool for ages before resetting ,😁😁great work sir.
Elijs Dima Spools are somewhat easy for experienced pickers. Serrated pins or the floating spools are harder. And if all pins are different in form and length it is harder to get a good feeling than if all were the same.
A mix of spools, serrated, two-level spools, and T-pins, all with threaded slots and varying spring tensions ought to make a very rude barrier to anyone trying to get in.
Variety is the spice of lock. Using a couple different types of security pins can protect against attacks like raking and make it slower to single pin pick.
Great video, again, thanks for this! Question: Could you one day make a video about butterfly discs in disc detainer locks, what exactly they are for and how they can be defeated? That would be awesome!
LPL: Have you ever done a video about the locks that you've had the most trouble picking, or haven't been able to pick so far? That would be really interesting.
I'd like to see LPL and Bosnian Bill do a showdown with a custom made lock Bill gets sent to him.Both are great channels and top in they're craft.Be fun to watch
@@lockpickinglawyerSorry j missed that part. It might be suitable for a internal application like inside a office as long as it has a lot of thumbturn for firesafety. The key control could be useful for Access control. But I would avoid it on a exterior door as it is obsolete for that purpose unless....maybe if the door uses security handles at the very least....
My old landalord could have made good use of these. People would move in and out of those apartments so quick that he sometimes had a hard time keeping track of who was in each one and very expensive to change the locks all the time. And sometimes people would make many copies of the keys to the gate and the apartment and just hand it out to their friends, turning the place unsafe. With these keys he'd always be sure who had each copy and exactly how many there were.
I dunno about anyone else, but I'd love to hear how you would improve this lock in order to take it to the next level. Adding specific security pins, different materials, etc. A rating out of 10 for overall security? How it compares to other similar/popular options?
What brand for lockpicking supplies would you recommend for a beginner? Preferably a set i could buy and start trying. Thank you very much for replies.
I have a pin tumbler lock that can be raked open by ME before I knew what raking or picking was, and I never picked a lock before (fun fact it was the only lock I managed to pick)
You mention that it was a fairly easy pick to get going, but you also had access to the key and it's cuts/safety mechanism in there. If you did not have access to the key first and you were basically going in blind not knowing about that spring loaded device on the key how would that have affected your picking? Would it still have been as easy?
Couldnt you add a cheap bit of spring steel on the tip of a key? Grind/cut a small recess, then rivet/peen a small length of spring steel. That way it can compress when inserted, then pop back up at the end of the lock to push up the pin.
If you're just looking to copy keys for this, it might be simpler to buy one or two of the lock sets, then fill the included keys with solder, then recut to the key you wanted to copy.
He should try a challenge where he picks a set of locks without looking at the key beforehand. It would make it so much harder but it makes it more realistic. Then he can make a judgement based on how good the lock is.
Literally any of the Lockwood inline 6 pin restricted profiles can achieve the same outcome as this lock in having relatively low cost restricted keying/key control without sacrificing the type of locks you can use and pickability.
So would a rake not have worked for this lock? (I don't know much about locks or lockpicking except from watching these videos and I have only seen a couple dozen)
How do you pick a tiny lock? I can't even feel how many pins there are in small ones, let alone unlock them. (unless I do it until they randomly unlock)
First of all what pushes the interactive element up? It looked like it was pin 2 your torpedo pin that was holding the key in after you removed the core it moved a lot before you put your finger over it possibly a smaller diameter to make it easier to over set also
I've watched and followed from the start. 💕 One question keeps coming back. Why are only driver pins steel drill resistant as surely having drill resistant key pins would help in a crude core drill out? I hope you have something awesome lined up for video 1k? My imagination is running wild. I'm in 😜 x
If you drill through the shear line then the lock will just turn. If you drill through the key pins, you then have a lot of fiddly work to do to get the chunks of destroyed pins out of the way so the driver pins can drop though, and then the springs will still obstruct the shear line. It's slower and messier.
I have a question about hand position. I'm a lefty, and it makes it impossible to have the pick in my right hand with any dexterity. So I'm forced to have my right hand in an awkward position to apply tension. Is there another way?

As soon as I saw 8:42 I thought that's not an LPL video, it's a feature film! Good to see he didn't waste much of that time on actual picking.
HI, do you have any videos that show how effective drill pins are?
Not a lock afficianado or picker, so why do I love this channel so much???
I had one of these when I lived in Israel. Always wondered what the little moving bit at the end of the key was for, and now I know!
Consider that in Israel all locks are mounter upside down compared to USA (or at least to how it's mounted in this video)
If this can slow down the picker, this should be mentioned as well :)
Picking locks seems like such a fun puzzle.
I always like to see new stuff. This was very interesting. Please show more like this one, if possible.
I have a question. As an Israeli this lock is mainly installed 180 from how you picked it. Meaning the key hole is at the top. Would that make your picking harder or just different?
For him probably different. For a less experienced one probably harder because one has to get used to it.
I'm not sure about this lock, but I find most locks easier to pick when the pin stacks are on the bottom. Others may have different experiences, though.
Euro profile locks are pretty common here and are always mounted upside down too.

Awesome pick, that torpedo key pin would have held me up, I'm quite prone to oversetting, I'd be looking for a spool for ages before resetting ,😁😁great work sir.
As always, great pick and vid.
Solid clicks by the way. 👌
Soo what would be the hardest combination of pins to pick? All torpedo bottoms and two-level spool tops?
Elijs Dima Spools are somewhat easy for experienced pickers. Serrated pins or the floating spools are harder. And if all pins are different in form and length it is harder to get a good feeling than if all were the same.
If it's all the same that leads to a perpetrator knowing what he's dealing with/ figuring out what he's dealing with quicker.
A mix of spools, serrated, two-level spools, and T-pins, all with threaded slots and varying spring tensions ought to make a very rude barrier to anyone trying to get in.
Also drill resistance is always important for a real world lock. People with power tools are more common than people with LPL’s skills.
Variety is the spice of lock. Using a couple different types of security pins can protect against attacks like raking and make it slower to single pin pick.

For an interactive key, it didn’t seem like it added much of a challenge for a seasoned picker.
He's well above the skill of an average picker. But the point of that gimmick isn't pick resistance. It's key control, like he kept saying.
Couldnt you add a cheap bit of spring steel on the tip of a key? Grind/cut a small recess, then rivet/peen a small length of spring steel. That way it can compress when inserted, then pop back up at the end of the lock to push up the pin.
