Yeah. Though the anonymous locksmith probably did use permanent marker, it's just not going to adhere very well to the shiney surface of that tape. On the flip side, probably verified the package had not been tampered with effectively.
"And my hands are turning red. Next time please use a permanent marker" Ooooooh you could hear the passive agressiveness in LPL's voice. His blood was boiling. But yet, he remains so calm...
@@Dragosmom. Mrs. LPL has a different strategy for opening locks if the ice cream video is any indication. Which given the context of this comment is concerning.
If LPL ever spoke to me in the same way he said “next time please use a permanent marker” I would weld shut my door out of the fear of waking up in the night hearing “nothing on one, two, nice click out of three...”
This is the lockpicking Lawyer and today im going to review this welding door, it's not a conventional lock but I was able to beat it using a simple plasma welder, thank you Chris for the challenge.
2 lessons learned here: 1) It takes anywhere between 30 seconds to 5 minutes for the LPL to open any lock on the planet. 2) Use duct tape with tons of non-permanent marker scribbles to ward off the LPL from your valuables.
Re #2: LPL will go to a varied array of destructive attacks if you use those scribbles - he has his whole basement and his whole armory at hand, after all - so I'd rather lose only that valuable thing, than my entire house, thank you very much!
Any lock on the planet? There are locks that LPL has not been able to pick yet (he has said it himself). They are not unpickable but very hard to pick.
I love how absolutely savage this man is. Consistently showing himself picking locks rather easily what the average lock smith think is a steep challenge. Like reel it in a bit my dude. You didnt need to literally kill him.
LPL: One of the most common questions I get in the comments section is how long a lock would take to open if I'd never seen it before. Unfortunately its an impossible question to answer because I can open any lock instantly but the packing may take anywhere from 30 seconds to ten times that
I think he meant this more towards locks he's unfamiliar with. He has seen an ERA lock and key before, so he knows he needs to use a magnet, how many pins to set, and what tools to use. If you would make your own locks that you wouldn't sell anywhere then that would also make them harder to pick (also much more expensive).
The moment he said "...and my hands are turning red. Next time, please use a permanent marker" it became obvious that he was going to have malice behind his lockpicking skills this time
@@jonhansson5199 its like $1 to 1000 views and his vids tend to range from 1.2 million ($1200) to 200k views ($200) so yeah hes doing pretty good for himself
I just love your channel for one reason alone. It’s how many times you dont say “eff you” to people who thinly vail a challenge because they think you are cheating. Yet you still manage to pleasantly say “eff you”. Class man.
Not really, the lock requires special skills and knowledge of the lock. You have to know that the lock has a magnetic pin and have a tiny magnet for it.
Although this is a year old it is amazing watching LPL open this lock so quickly even with the extra security of magnetic tumbler. That system is a challenge in itself. And as always LPL just walk’s right through it like the pro he is.
"This looks like standard threaded duct tape in white. I'm going to use Scissors with 4 3/4 inch blade made from stainless steel" ... "Snip on one, snip on two, cut out of three" ... "We have a little bit of rotation" ... "Cut on one, cut on two and it's open, just that easy"
While this isn’t something I would use to secure my favorite scissors it does have its benefits. In any case if you do have any question or comment............
Check out any video from the garage! No gloves, holding tings his sawing with an angle grinder with his hand, anything... I just can't believe that he is not more careful with his hands!
I love how he identified one of the packages to be the keys to the lock and immediately just tossed it aside, as if laughing at the idea of requiring keys.
I get it though, locksmiths having been in the field for maybe 10+ years and suddenly everyone around them is showing them this guy. And suddenly they go from feeling like an proffesional veteran in their field to second rate.
Doesn't he say the lock looks familiar? Of course it isn't that difficult to open a lock as a trained lockpicker when you already know how the lock is designed.
"I got a nice lock out of it" made me wonder how you store and organize your vast and ever-growing collection of locks. That might be a fascinating video.
Realistically this seems like a pretty secure lock. To open it you'd need to 1. identify the lock 2. Have a dimple-pick with you 3. Have a small magnet with you, and 4. have a LOT of skill. That rules out 99% of the potential thieves. If you're worried about LPL getting your stuff, just save everyone a lot of trouble and just hand it over to him! LOL
Or just use one of those deadbolt on your door without an external keyhole. He can't pick a lock he can't access. Or just hide the thing really well, or use extravagant laser traps, or really friendly dogs with machetes strapped to their heads, etc. the usual.
Never seen criminals bother to pick locks anyway. Usually just use boot cutters. And if the lock is too strong for those then odds are the thing its locked around isn't nearly as strong.
"One lock might take 30 seconds, another might take ten times that." So the range for LPL to open a lock he's never seen before is between 30 and 300 seconds. Good to know. Also very likely to be accurate.
Where is this world, please, where 30´´ is considered short, but 300´´ is considered long (???), cause on my planet, both is simply considered "under 5minutes"... ;-) My Windows-PC always takes 30´´ to boot when new, and 300´´ after being in use some months, and I barely notice a difference... ;-)
@@klausbrinck2137lol idk why you are being so aggressive about it. You are entitled to think that those times are not very different certainly, but I would like to point out that the difference here isn’t about how long you have to wait for something, it’s how long a thief has to spend exposed picking your front door or the padlock on your storage unit where someone can try to stop them from getting in or raise the alarm. If it takes just 30 seconds it might also even be perceived as someone who is meant to be there fumbling with their keys.
@@harryf9885 Not aggressive, just pointing out that for average people, both 30 and 300 is short, we all know that from our everyday lives. I admit, that for a lockpicking-contest, there´s worlds in betwwen, but even among burglars, I bet, it makes no difference... ;-)

"That was far faster than I was expecting" That's a master's way of saying "Don't ever come at me like that again or I'll embarrass you more than I did just now."
Love that comment! OK anonymous UK, what’s the next move that you can’t stomach without challenging? Oh. You mean you tried to do this yourself and….? I’m from this side of the pond also, so not siding! I just laugh and laugh…..
I would genuinely like to see LPL’s process when he sees a new lock if he hasn’t done it already: how he analyzes it, if he looks at the key before he picks, how he tells what special tools he’ll need if any, etc.
I mean, if he is doing a new lock for a video, he could just look up the lock and see what the inner workings of it are, id assume. It would probably have to be like, if he was on the job and stumbled across something new. That I do agree would be cool though, albeit harder to accomplosh hahah.
Honestly I was shocked he never made it stick to anything other then what he intended I didn't think anyone else noticed how tiny and hard that would have been to do. I hate trying to work with magnets for that very reason because they always stick to something you dont intended even when being careful...
he clearly does a lot of work with neodymium magnets, he does a lot of interesting stuff with them in his videos that people who understand the power of Neo magnets would not dare to replicate. DO NOT underestimate the power of neodymium magnets
@@USS_ESSEX_CV-9 I think his tweezers are also magnetic not sure just assuming based on how they seem to grab things. Not saying it makes it easy but it would help a lot I think I also have no idea what that magnet you are talking about is but assume it's a high powered mini magnet of some sort.
@fuck google pretty sure that's why the "anonymous benefactor" didn't use permanent marker. So that if the package was tampered with in transit, LPL would know because of smears on the package.
After watching too many of these videos, I've determined that half a roll of duct tape and some zip ties offer more theft resistance than any lock in production.
I mean, your right. Any lock exists as a deterrent, and there are far more secure ways to ensure something never opens again, if that's what you want. A lock tells any would-be thief: "Hey, this isn't worth it if you don't have the key." Considering most thieves want to get something quickly and quietly (some important exceptions apply), you can simply add enough time sinks to prevent most theft. Mummifying something in packaging means you (the owner) don't have an easy bypass, but you also know everyone will have to spend the time to cut through your valuable's deterrent. It becomes a question of how valuable is the item or location versus how much time and resources are you willing to spend on making sure others can't get it?
I'm starting to believe that locking things is a waste of time and instead I should just cover things I want protected in multiple layers of tape with various colors of dye in-between.
Not really. If the guy that sent it truly thought the first video was fake, he wouldn't send it because he would know that he's wasting his time and money because LPL wouldn't make this video or mention he got the package.
@@Yamezzzz That logic is..Wow Nope He would still send it, People can be primal and predictable that way He would send it to confirm HIS OWN suspiciouns, He just "has to" know, So he knows that if he sends it, He can sleep knowing if LPL rejects it, he can say, SEE I TOLD YOU. Have you never seen a twitter rant with the tagline "I sent ____ and they have refused to respond" I have.
Okay, this is a lock constructed of human bone, sinew, and hair... looks like infant bone. As you can see, it's attached to a chain wound around this musty tome. The book does appear to be making a muffled shriek, but that shouldn't pose too much of a problem. Let's see how this goes. ... Little click out of one...

I'm really impressed about how this guy makes these videos,short to the point.his narration...really a template for how to make TH-cam videos people will watch
I love the slight shade being thrown about the marker not being permanent. These videos where someone challenges LPL's abilities only to get absolutely clowned by his skill are my favorites.
And it's great how they never follow up here in the comments apologizing or commenting they were beaten in the challenge. Makes it only so much more enjoyable to watch
@@NavaracVolare he's got several videos out with locks he cant open. He makes these videos so people know what to buy, but he wouldn't ignore a challenge just because it bested him, he'd still upload it.
0:09 for a second I thought his response to that question was gonna be “it’s an impossible question to answer because I have seen every lock ever made.”
LPL: "How long a lock would take to open if I'd never seen it before. Unfortunately, it's an impossible question to answer because..." Me: "... you've seen each and every lock in the world".
And his answer was "anywhere from 30 seconds to ten times that", so any lock in under 5 minutes. That's not impossible to answer, it's a very narrow timeframe, bloody lawyers. ;)
Honestly pretty good. Someone trying to pick a lock likely won't have a tiny magnet for the occasion unless they knew exactly what lock they were going to pick beforehand.
@@rioghander2te you could make security duct tape by making a two layer tape, with VERY non-permanent and VERY copious quantities of scribbling in between the layers... ...if one of 3M's failures was a fastening compound too weak to permanently secure paper to other material (winding up as the secret of Post-It Notes ®), a bleeding Scotch ® duct tape failure otherwise would be a huge security success here.

I think one of my favorite things about your videos is that you (seem to be) humble about your skill level and don't berate people when they try to throw down with you. I also suspect you have to get at least *some* joy out of guys telling you that you aren't being realistic, sending you a lock, and busting it open within a minute.
I’ve known a handful of people like you over the years; I know you’ve got far more sills than you let people believe. That’s a really good thing and it’s something that only humble and proficient people do. Love your videos and keep them coming.
I don’t know that LPL’s ability to open locks represents a “real world” example of how secure a lock is. He clearly has an extreme level of skill that is extremely uncommon in most of the population. Always amazed at how fast he gets through these.
also, to be fair, there are a lot of lock makers that make claims that they have "the best locks" that LPL can open with relative ease, while there are several locks in his collection that he has admitted that he has never been able to pick open...so when he does give a lock a rating, it's probably still worth listening to
@@Brianchse IMO, this lock seems like a good buy because it takes too much skill just to manipulate that tiny magnet. No thief is going to train that hard to acquire that skill.
You are the best 👍👍👍 Some decades ago I never ever would have thought that one day I would sit in front of some strange high tech device and watch some guy picking locks.
On the bright side, needing a micro neodymium magnet precisely placed into the core is far more advanced than 99.99% of thiefs could handle. At this point I'd more expect someone to grab an angle grinder for this lock rather than picking it
Right judging the effectiveness of a lock based on this guy picking it is like watching a how to video on fixing something on your car the video is like 10 mins the time it take you to fix it is a whole afternoon
@@jonathan_herr That anonymous benefactor certainly is paranoid. "I better put some red security scribbles on the duct tape to make sure LPL does not open it up, figure out how to pick it, then seal it back up before making a video pretending like he just opened it!"
I thought exactly the same, that's always so funny when the lock-picking doesn't start until more than Halfway because either the video is really long, or the lock is really bad
That's not fair to this lock. Picking the pins presents enough of a challenge; a lock like this isn't gonna go cheap on the pins. And then there is the magnet pin, PLUS he had to pick out of a false set. This is a hell of a lock and I wish I could find a way to buy one in the US
@@cadMeFromLife plus he's already familiar with the core. I'm no picker, but I'd guess using a tiny magnet isn't the first thing you try when you fall into a false set and aren't familiar with the type of lock
everyone talking about the tape but imagine being the Locksmith that sent this lock whatching this video, where LPL unlocks the lock faster then the one he thought was altered. Amazing.
And when it is over 50 minutes, there is likely talk of his wife's beaver and how he thought of another use for a hole. I found his keynote address to be entertaining and informative. He also explains why his videos are so short.
Does he even need keys, I mean really? The key only works on 1 lock. In fact, this man can pick a lock faster than I can find the correct key for any lock I own.
@@zachmaw Well, he didn't need the key, he just pick the lock. Maybe he should buy locks without keys! One thing I noticed is that all his tools are stainless. He is certainly having a stainless steel refrigerator!
As someone who came onboard this channel about two years ago thanks to the "two wrench" padlock exploit, I'd like to just take a moment to appreciate the incredible level of lock picking knowledge and ability displayed here. Few individuals in the world have the LPL's phenomenal talent for lock picking. Don't forget that this guy also has a day job that involves ten- to twelve-hour days with additional hours on top to keep up with legislative amendments. Not only that, he's married as well! LPL deserves every bit of success that he has gained in lockpicking, on TH-cam and in his 'regular' job.
If the fact that the video is so short doesn't give you a clue, LPL only unwrapping it about halfway through would definitely clue you in. What a wizard.
I think it's a security scribble in the sense that the locksmith drew it all over the duct tape to be certain that the packaging was unaltered (i.e. that LPL didn't "cheat" and open the package / retape the package prior to recording the video).
@@rae.chello I actually wonder if some of the imperfections in the scribbling are purposefully done to make it recognizable, making it next to impossible to recreate the scribbles after repackaging. It's even possible that the use of non-permanent marker was on purpose, as the coloration of his hands would prove that he didn't use permanent marker, which he would most likely have lying around, to recreate the scribbles. Or maybe I'm reading too much into this, we'll never know.
@@justuslm Well to be fair he could have quite easily just paused and edited the video at 2:40 so he could pre-solve the lock and then put it back on the table again. But then at that level of distrust it'd be basically impossible for LPL to prove that he didn't cheat, so it's just kinda pointless for him to try cuz you could always claim fake or editing with videos...(to be clear, I don't think he fakes stuff. Just making the point)
The only videos of LPL taking five minutes usually involved him tearing the lock apart and examining its insides. Edit: and when he shoots the locks apart with bangsticks.
@@DH-xw6jp "shoots the locks apart with bangsticks" what does this mean? has he shot locks open with guns before? sticks of dynamite or other explosive?
Fun fact: his hands didn't get red because of the paint, buy because of the blood of that locksmith who dared to challenge him... Legends say that he still savors it from time to time
Imagine being SO GOOD at a given profession, that others who share in your profession don't look up to you in admiration, but rather DOUBT, that what YOU'RE doing is even REAL!? Lmao!
Friend of mine is a metal worker and he's quick as lightning when it comes to welding, removing dents and repairing stuff, he gets the same doubt thrown at him when he says how long a job will take. Other workshops in the area have called him a fraud several times, but his work is flawless.
Locksmiths aren’t lock pickers typically, that’s not part of their job? Repairing and installing locks does not require picking. I.e. lock professional not trained/experienced in lock picking cannot believe how effective it can be. Presumingly many lock smiths have some picking skills because it just make sense they would try to learn it for fun.
Yea, next time your having a casual conversation with a locksmith mention LPL, but first make a side bet with your buddy that you can piss this locksmith off just by saying something innocent.Worth the bet!
No spoilers! He could start making videos of various length closing music included to extend the video where the length of it is less of a "spoiler" if someone sees those numbers before viewing the clip. perhaps banjo pickin' after the lock pickin' is done.
@@streetsareforpeople723 This is an *actual* feature on electronic locks and passwords. Random time delay and power consumption on each character so no conclusions can be drawn on whether that character is handled by a different part of the program code.
"People ask how long it would take me to pick a lock I've never seen before. Unfortunately that question is impossible to answer" I thought he was about to say "Because I've seen every single lock."
He picks them off camera beforehand. He just does a video once he has the right tools and knows how to pick that style of lock. I'm not saying he has the pins memorized but he is confident in that make of lock before he makes the videos.
Some Guy: "I can't believe he could really pick that lock so quickly, let's make him do it on another, sight unseen!" LPL: *picks this one faster* Some Guy: *surprised pikachu face*
I mean, to be fair, to MANY people with pick kits trying to pick your lock, this lock will be unpickable. The magnet is a huge security feature that will keep out all but the most seasoned pickers, so I don't think the anonymous guy will really be happy with this video either... Since yeah, this lock is going to keep out most pickers even with the pins alone. If the lock wasn't "labeled" as similar to the other lock with a magnetic pin, it could change a 2 minute pick to a 30 min pick depending on how readily available your magnet collection is, and how fast you could figure out that it is a magnetic pin. So yeah, as he said before, it's a lock he would actually consider using despite the fact that it could be picked, because you'd be hard pressed to find a truly unpickable lock. But these are grandmaster lock pick champions making these videos, so watching them do it with ease is going to be misleading. It's like watching an experienced magician and watch them perform a sleight of hand trick knowing how it's done and going "Yeah that's a pretty easy trick" despite being widely incapable. I'm sure this locksmith is actually pretty decent at his job (if he's not a sales rep for that company or something) if he's standing behind this lock as it's pretty unlikely these will get picked.
@@SherrifOfNottingham yeah I tried lockpicking recently, and well mentally I knew that obviously it wouldn't be easy, the only real lockpicking I had seen was lpl so I was actually surprised at the challenge of it
i love how organized his stuff is. and when he references something, there isn't 15 paragraphs worth of crap to sift through in the description. so nice
Im getting the vibe that a lot of people feel intimidated by how easy the LPL makes it look in his vids, so they feel the need to try and one-up him or prove some point they have. Props to such humble responses.

“Locksmith challenge” in the title...
The packaging was the hardest thing to defeat in the video...
2 lessons learned here:
1) It takes anywhere between 30 seconds to 5 minutes for the LPL to open any lock on the planet.
2) Use duct tape with tons of non-permanent marker scribbles to ward off the LPL from your valuables.
Re #2: LPL will go to a varied array of destructive attacks if you use those scribbles - he has his whole basement and his whole armory at hand, after all - so I'd rather lose only that valuable thing, than my entire house, thank you very much!
Better yet cover it in wax cuz it would melt all over his hands once he touches the lock.
Lmao!
I'm almost certain he's picked locks in less than 30 seconds
Any lock on the planet? There are locks that LPL has not been able to pick yet (he has said it himself). They are not unpickable but very hard to pick.
LPL: that was far faster than I expected.
Me: you obviously haven't watched your videos before.

Yes he did.
He ended that man’s whole career.
That's what you get when you challenge a master ;-)
On the original video about this core:. "To put it differently, this is a lock I would consider using myself"
LPL: One of the most common questions I get in the comments section is how long a lock would take to open if I'd never seen it before. Unfortunately
its an impossible question to answer because I can open any lock instantly but the packing may take anywhere from 30 seconds to ten times that
Lmao
I think he meant this more towards locks he's unfamiliar with. He has seen an ERA lock and key before, so he knows he needs to use a magnet, how many pins to set, and what tools to use.
If you would make your own locks that you wouldn't sell anywhere then that would also make them harder to pick (also much more expensive).
The other thing that would be neat when he does these "blind challenges"....if he'd also pull a "Chris Ramsay" and set a kitchen timer....
@@artstrutzenberg7197 I feel like he used to around 300, but I've watched so much of both I could be mixing it up
@@Dzeno2010 but you can just take the paint and engravings off. And redo it. Tada
The moment he said "...and my hands are turning red. Next time, please use a permanent marker" it became obvious that he was going to have malice behind his lockpicking skills this time
Malice Aforepick, you might say
And even then, this did look like permanent marker. Ductape is just so slippy the permanent marker rubs off easily.
I guess lpl got caught red handed
Super glue the lock lol 😆
It might be on purpose tho. Unless I'm just dumb and didnt get it, it could rub off so that they can tell if it has been touched before the video.

Although this is a year old it is amazing watching LPL open this lock so quickly even with the extra security of magnetic tumbler. That system is a challenge in itself. And as always LPL just walk’s right through it like the pro he is.
he's just insanely talented, I think he first started picking in like 2015 and started releasing videos soon after
"This looks like standard threaded duct tape in white. I'm going to use Scissors with 4 3/4 inch blade made from stainless steel" ... "Snip on one, snip on two, cut out of three" ... "We have a little bit of rotation" ... "Cut on one, cut on two and it's open, just that easy"

"second layer of duct tape is binding..."
I was more concerned about LPL getting injured with the scissors than him not able to open that lock.
He's not always very safety-focussed..
genuinely thought he cut himself when he showed his red finger
NO kidding! I was impressed with how sharp those snips looked... and then he cut towards his hand!
Only I'm that stupid!
Check out any video from the garage! No gloves, holding tings his sawing with an angle grinder with his hand, anything...
I just can't believe that he is not more careful with his hands!
I get even more nervous when he uses box cutter blade. Honestly, seeing he was using scissors this time relieved me a little.
I love how he identified one of the packages to be the keys to the lock and immediately just tossed it aside, as if laughing at the idea of requiring keys.
Other locksmiths can’t believe he is that good. They continue to challenge.
That's true!
I get it though, locksmiths having been in the field for maybe 10+ years and suddenly everyone around them is showing them this guy. And suddenly they go from feeling like an proffesional veteran in their field to second rate.
Eh free content :^)
Ego will be the end of humanity.
Doesn't he say the lock looks familiar? Of course it isn't that difficult to open a lock as a trained lockpicker when you already know how the lock is designed.
"I got a nice lock out of it" made me wonder how you store and organize your vast and ever-growing collection of locks. That might be a fascinating video.
In a lock box of course..

Everybody, give this comment a thumbs up. If it gets to the top, maybe LPL will see it.
See episode 182
OutBack Operator locked with a MasterLock #3 of course
Realistically this seems like a pretty secure lock. To open it you'd need to 1. identify the lock 2. Have a dimple-pick with you 3. Have a small magnet with you, and 4. have a LOT of skill. That rules out 99% of the potential thieves. If you're worried about LPL getting your stuff, just save everyone a lot of trouble and just hand it over to him! LOL
Or just use one of those deadbolt on your door without an external keyhole. He can't pick a lock he can't access.
Or just hide the thing really well, or use extravagant laser traps, or really friendly dogs with machetes strapped to their heads, etc. the usual.
Or just wrap up your items in duct tape, paper, and red gue that will get on your hands.
Never seen criminals bother to pick locks anyway. Usually just use boot cutters. And if the lock is too strong for those then odds are the thing its locked around isn't nearly as strong.
Yep, @@dash4800, cut the cables.
Or hide your valuables in a Campbell’s soup can and let the safe be a really crappy decoy.
"One lock might take 30 seconds, another might take ten times that."
So the range for LPL to open a lock he's never seen before is between 30 and 300 seconds. Good to know. Also very likely to be accurate.
Where is this world, please, where 30´´ is considered short, but 300´´ is considered long (???), cause on my planet, both is simply considered "under 5minutes"... ;-) My Windows-PC always takes 30´´ to boot when new, and 300´´ after being in use some months, and I barely notice a difference... ;-)

If it takes just 30 seconds it might also even be perceived as someone who is meant to be there fumbling with their keys.

It's because he didn't use a permanent marker lol
lmao na bro the guy sent it too him to see how fast the lock could be picked and how so he could do it himself
I would genuinely like to see LPL’s process when he sees a new lock if he hasn’t done it already: how he analyzes it, if he looks at the key before he picks, how he tells what special tools he’ll need if any, etc.
He’s got so many videos doing just that my dude
@@wuixxxxeee And he's got 1,400 videos of him picking locks my dude
Kinda hard to stumble by chance on that specific kinda video
I think it was like a billion locks ago. I mean, a billion picked locks is what it takes to become a legend
I mean, if he is doing a new lock for a video, he could just look up the lock and see what the inner workings of it are, id assume. It would probably have to be like, if he was on the job and stumbled across something new. That I do agree would be cool though, albeit harder to accomplosh hahah.
There are only so many cores out there, way more locks than cores.....
how he manages to keep that magnet from getting stuck in there is more impressive than opening the lock
less close contact to highly magnetic (steel) things. core mosty copper alloy
Honestly I was shocked he never made it stick to anything other then what he intended I didn't think anyone else noticed how tiny and hard that would have been to do. I hate trying to work with magnets for that very reason because they always stick to something you dont intended even when being careful...
holding and positioning that magnet alone would've taken me 30 min
he clearly does a lot of work with neodymium magnets, he does a lot of interesting stuff with them in his videos that people who understand the power of Neo magnets would not dare to replicate. DO NOT underestimate the power of neodymium magnets
@@USS_ESSEX_CV-9 I think his tweezers are also magnetic not sure just assuming based on how they seem to grab things. Not saying it makes it easy but it would help a lot I think I also have no idea what that magnet you are talking about is but assume it's a high powered mini magnet of some sort.

Interviewer: What is the hardest part of making your videos
LockPickingLawyer: Opening the package
This needs more like
After watching too many of these videos, I've determined that half a roll of duct tape and some zip ties offer more theft resistance than any lock in production.
I mean, your right. Any lock exists as a deterrent, and there are far more secure ways to ensure something never opens again, if that's what you want. A lock tells any would-be thief: "Hey, this isn't worth it if you don't have the key."
Considering most thieves want to get something quickly and quietly (some important exceptions apply), you can simply add enough time sinks to prevent most theft. Mummifying something in packaging means you (the owner) don't have an easy bypass, but you also know everyone will have to spend the time to cut through your valuable's deterrent. It becomes a question of how valuable is the item or location versus how much time and resources are you willing to spend on making sure others can't get it?

Probably not, but he didn't claim it was. He said that it demonstrates how a skilled lockpicker could open a lock. Not how secure the lock was.
also, to be fair, there are a lot of lock makers that make claims that they have "the best locks" that LPL can open with relative ease, while there are several locks in his collection that he has admitted that he has never been able to pick open...so when he does give a lock a rating, it's probably still worth listening to

He’s like: “ughh. Rubbish. ” *toss it away*
Yep, that was hilarious :D
Does he even need keys, I mean really? The key only works on 1 lock. In fact, this man can pick a lock faster than I can find the correct key for any lock I own.
It would have taken longer to unwrap the keys than to pick the lock.
I love how the packaging with the keys gets instantly gets dismissed
The package he did open was hard enough.
@@zachmaw Well, he didn't need the key, he just pick the lock. Maybe he should buy locks without keys! One thing I noticed is that all his tools are stainless. He is certainly having a stainless steel refrigerator!
It would take longer to unpack the keys than to pick the lock, obviously.
"Won't need these"
*chucks them off screen*
...
*sound of a window shattering in distance*
As someone who came onboard this channel about two years ago thanks to the "two wrench" padlock exploit, I'd like to just take a moment to appreciate the incredible level of lock picking knowledge and ability displayed here.
Few individuals in the world have the LPL's phenomenal talent for lock picking. Don't forget that this guy also has a day job that involves ten- to twelve-hour days with additional hours on top to keep up with legislative amendments. Not only that, he's married as well!
LPL deserves every bit of success that he has gained in lockpicking, on TH-cam and in his 'regular' job.
can he call himself as an expert witness?
@@eliotmansfield LOL I don't think so. He would have a massive conflict of interest, But he could call Bosnian Bill.
@@eliotmansfield I'd like to see him cross examine him self haha
If the fact that the video is so short doesn't give you a clue, LPL only unwrapping it about halfway through would definitely clue you in. What a wizard.
"Red security scribble." That's a technical term.
I think it's a security scribble in the sense that the locksmith drew it all over the duct tape to be certain that the packaging was unaltered (i.e. that LPL didn't "cheat" and open the package / retape the package prior to recording the video).
@@rae.chello I actually wonder if some of the imperfections in the scribbling are purposefully done to make it recognizable, making it next to impossible to recreate the scribbles after repackaging.
It's even possible that the use of non-permanent marker was on purpose, as the coloration of his hands would prove that he didn't use permanent marker, which he would most likely have lying around, to recreate the scribbles.
Or maybe I'm reading too much into this, we'll never know.
@@justuslm seems like a sound conclusion to me. I don’t think you’re looking too far into it at all.
@@phantomicco6068 I agree.
@@justuslm Well to be fair he could have quite easily just paused and edited the video at 2:40 so he could pre-solve the lock and then put it back on the table again. But then at that level of distrust it'd be basically impossible for LPL to prove that he didn't cheat, so it's just kinda pointless for him to try cuz you could always claim fake or editing with videos...(to be clear, I don't think he fakes stuff. Just making the point)
The thumbnail made me think that this was the SteakGrillingLawyer
Yeah, guga should try dry age padlock steak
I thought it was icecream you get from the manapua man
I was definitely thinking ice cream. Can he pick the lock before the soft serve melts?!
Wa kind of steak have you being eating lol
I thought it looked more like a turkey
LPL: “It could take 30 seconds or up to 10 times that...”
So you’re saying 5 minutes is the max time 😧
For this man, I'd call that accurate.
It was a subtle flex
The only videos of LPL taking five minutes usually involved him tearing the lock apart and examining its insides.
Edit: and when he shoots the locks apart with bangsticks.
@@DH-xw6jp or when he fails to open a simple package because tape...
@@DH-xw6jp "shoots the locks apart with bangsticks" what does this mean? has he shot locks open with guns before? sticks of dynamite or other explosive?
Fun fact: his hands didn't get red because of the paint, buy because of the blood of that locksmith who dared to challenge him...
Legends say that he still savors it from time to time
Imagine being SO GOOD at a given profession, that others who share in your profession don't look up to you in admiration, but rather DOUBT, that what YOU'RE doing is even REAL!? Lmao!
Friend of mine is a metal worker and he's quick as lightning when it comes to welding, removing dents and repairing stuff, he gets the same doubt thrown at him when he says how long a job will take. Other workshops in the area have called him a fraud several times, but his work is flawless.
That was what made Harry Houdini good money.
He's a lock picking aimbotter
Locksmiths aren’t lock pickers typically, that’s not part of their job? Repairing and installing locks does not require picking. I.e. lock professional not trained/experienced in lock picking cannot believe how effective it can be. Presumingly many lock smiths have some picking skills because it just make sense they would try to learn it for fun.
Yea, next time your having a casual conversation with a locksmith mention LPL, but first make a side bet with your buddy that you can piss this locksmith off just by saying something innocent.Worth the bet!
It probably took him longer to get the red ink off his hands.
It was all a ruse to reveal LPL's secret identity.
I've been writing "unpickable" on all my stuff to try and ritualistically summon him.
Hahaha
He rises from a pit of fire "NEXT TIME USE PERMANENT MARKER"
You have to say his name 3 three times in the mirror after you write unpickable on it.
@@deckmonkey1459 you have to write unpickable three times on your front door in whiteboard pen..
It's the same as a "Gun Free Zone" sign, it will keep all those away who wish to pick your lock and steal your stuff...not.
you know you're being a master when people start doubting if it's real
"Ooh, longer LPL video." Half of the video is just cutting tape.
No spoilers! He could start making videos of various length closing music included to extend the video where the length of it is less of a "spoiler" if someone sees those numbers before viewing the clip.
perhaps banjo pickin' after the lock pickin' is done.
Once again proving that just duct taping the living s*** out of something is way more effective security than locking it.
@@streetsareforpeople723 This is an *actual* feature on electronic locks and passwords. Random time delay and power consumption on each character so no conclusions can be drawn on whether that character is handled by a different part of the program code.
"Next time, please use a permanent marker."
Damn, something about getting admonished by LPL just has an extra bit of sting to it.
LPL needs to work on his tone.
I know, right?! It wasn't even directed and me and I feel like I should go stand in the corner.
Well, he is a lawyer.
@@Mezuzah87 what do you mean
He demonstrates such tremendous patience and is so methodical. This tiny (very tiny) bit of annoyance was unexpected!
The most polite shade I've ever seen thrown.
Polighting - an art form
When was this comment made, 2018?
@@boscosworld No, it was 4 months ago. Says so right next to the name. Har dee har
"A lot faster than I expected "
Imagine the duct tape packaging being more durable and secure than the maximum security lock you made.
This guy picks locks faster than it takes me to find my keys.
lol
"People ask how long it would take me to pick a lock I've never seen before. Unfortunately that question is impossible to answer"
I thought he was about to say "Because I've seen every single lock."
There's a Chuck Norris joke buried somewhere in there... only LPL instead of Chuck Norris.
Lmao that was my first thought too
@@Lemmings19 maybe LPL is able to challenge Chuck Norris in a picking contest
@@etiennec8139 Oh my god. The Unstoppable Force meets the Immovable Object. We're doomed!
Damn, that's what I thought. The man is too humble to say it tho
The way he handled those scissors I was absolutely sure LPL had cut himself when I saw the red on his hands.
nice Mischief profile picture, and same.
100percemt same
Mischief?
I'm only a novice picker as part of a handyman role, but man, the level of depth you made so trivial in this is crazy.
He picks them off camera beforehand. He just does a video once he has the right tools and knows how to pick that style of lock. I'm not saying he has the pins memorized but he is confident in that make of lock before he makes the videos.
Some Guy: "I can't believe he could really pick that lock so quickly, let's make him do it on another, sight unseen!"
LPL: *picks this one faster*
Some Guy: *surprised pikachu face*
We are not meritocratic here in the UK. But Anonymous person obviously didn't want to look like a donut, so stayed anonymous.
I mean, to be fair, to MANY people with pick kits trying to pick your lock, this lock will be unpickable.
The magnet is a huge security feature that will keep out all but the most seasoned pickers, so I don't think the anonymous guy will really be happy with this video either... Since yeah, this lock is going to keep out most pickers even with the pins alone. If the lock wasn't "labeled" as similar to the other lock with a magnetic pin, it could change a 2 minute pick to a 30 min pick depending on how readily available your magnet collection is, and how fast you could figure out that it is a magnetic pin.
So yeah, as he said before, it's a lock he would actually consider using despite the fact that it could be picked, because you'd be hard pressed to find a truly unpickable lock. But these are grandmaster lock pick champions making these videos, so watching them do it with ease is going to be misleading. It's like watching an experienced magician and watch them perform a sleight of hand trick knowing how it's done and going "Yeah that's a pretty easy trick" despite being widely incapable.
I'm sure this locksmith is actually pretty decent at his job (if he's not a sales rep for that company or something) if he's standing behind this lock as it's pretty unlikely these will get picked.
@@SherrifOfNottingham yeah I tried lockpicking recently, and well mentally I knew that obviously it wouldn't be easy, the only real lockpicking I had seen was lpl so I was actually surprised at the challenge of it
@@SherrifOfNottingham re. magnetic pin - is it just trivial to check by seeing if the key has a magnetic area?
@@SherrifOfNottingham FYI he's an actual lawyer, great comment by the way.
>Picking straight out of the package
>5 minute video
>3 minutes in and didn't even start picking yet
OH NO NO NO
The person who sent this watching: oh no. Oh no. OH no no no no no. oH NO
i love how organized his stuff is. and when he references something, there isn't 15 paragraphs worth of crap to sift through in the description. so nice
Im getting the vibe that a lot of people feel intimidated by how easy the LPL makes it look in his vids, so they feel the need to try and one-up him or prove some point they have. Props to such humble responses.
"This is the Bone Picking Lawyer, and I have another can of whoopass for lockpickers with hurt egos today"
I keep coming back to this video for this comment hahaha
What
this is the best youtube comment
Hahahahahahh
Me? I'm just waiting here for a wild Mollow Gohnson to appear. I'll try to catch him in my troll-ball.
