yeah considering the measures here did not help against LPL (not that they were designed to) had he used a simpler method, it would not have worked so well.
LPL. Long story short. Been watching and practicing a few years. Built up my collection of lock tools. 6:30 a.m. a mechanic had a lock-out from a garage. Keys locked in truck inside the garage. 60 seconds with a Travelers Hook and the matter was settled. For me it is a hobby. No charges. Perhaps word will get out and I can be of help to others. Closest pro locksmith is hours away and choose not to come out. Thanks for your tutorials...
I used to work in a garage and have locked keys in enough Cars to have invested in a tool to get into Cars. I think Cars are not designed to be difficult to enter. One car I owned you could unlock by using a screwdriver in the gap in the handle. It was a big cap and the rod for the lock was right there.
@@answeris4217It has definitely changed over the years, and the ignition keys are much harder to bypass than the lock you can bypass with a rock to the window.
Yeah, I like this content much better than jabs at deadbeat lock makers like MasterLock. I mean, they're funny, but it gets old at some point. The ones where you learn about how good locks are supposed to be made, are the ones I like seeing. Even though he beat it in under 50 seconds, we can't forget he's extremely experienced and used specialized tools (though I'm sure it Would be possible for him to pick it open with standard tools, the Lishi makes it easier and quicker. And it costs loads of money). All in all, I like the direction this channel is going in.
Actually, LPL has assembled locks for his own home that simply break if picked instead of opened with a key (There's a vid of it somewhere). And I'm pretty sure that's just the stuff he used before he made that video.
"Not a bad effort" Come on, man! 😫 It's a security pin fiesta in there! They even did varied springs and counter milling! They did literally everything you can do for pick resistance in a pin and tumbler lock!
The way the internal of this lock is made, shows that lock-makers do, sometimes, have some valid work ethics. Thank you LPL, for going above and beyond simple lockpicking, so to give your viewers a better understanding of this business as a whole. Greetings, Anthony
Bump resistance. Hardened steel pins that'll dull or break your regular HSS and black oxide drill bits. Sturdy body. False sets. Several pin variations. Counter-rotations. I'm impressed; if it takes LPL 42 seconds with a Lishi, most thieves are going to give up. $26ish? I've seen Master locks for sale for at least that much. In fact, Master sells an almost identical lock for $23.
That Taiwanese company LPL mentioned makes Toledo locks sold by Home Depot that are set up identical to the mat-lock core. The Toledo “Black” models to be exact.
I got locked out of my car and the locksmith I called showed up with a lishi tool for my Toyota. He was in in less than 30 seconds. Didn’t use an airbag with a pump to pry back the door and fish around with a long rod. Thanks to watching TLPL, I was impressed.
@singlekcNot necessarily true. If locked with the fob the alarm will sometimes go off if opened mechanically with a key. Not true for all makes and models but it is definitely something that can happen

They tried more than other companies did and earned what many would consider a sparkling review! Great job to them! Also I am intimately curious to know just how many locks nowadays are vulnerable to bumping... that is about the lowest skill attack I can think of short of just bashing it open.
@@OrangeDog20Knife bypass or something to that effect, I would say this is probably the lowest skill attack on most pin tumblers with bumping being next up (some pin tumblers, and a lot of even less secure designs like wafers, are vulnerable to jiggling which is even lower skill IMHO)
@briandoss9232 In many countries in Europe* bumping resistance _used_ not to be a thing because most low-skill thieves used other systems. Then there was, around 15-20 years ago, a surge in popularity of bumping attacks (it's as if the low-skill thieves had found it on the Internet🙂) followed by a "insurance companies won't cover bumping attacks because they'll refuse to believe the lock was picked" meme (unsure if it was true or not, but that's irrelevant because the meme _did_ exist), which caused a frenzy of anti-bumping measures. Since around 10 years ago, it's exceedingly difficult to find in most countries of Europe any lock (besides the cheapest of padlocks) that does _NOT_ include some form of anti-bumping defence, because nobody wanted to buy those. (*: which I hope our Colonial friends will remember is not a single country, meaning that you will find different things instead of it being all the same.)
Okay, I just subscribed because I can't get enough of your quick-picking! You sir are indeed the "Bob Ross" of lock picking, making it look easy & done in minutes! Thank you for the videos!
You'd think. Once the manufacturer sets up the tooling in the factory, it can't be that much more expensive to make the more pick resistant locks in high volume. Master: "Consumers are still buying them, so don't change anything." Yet, they go to the effort to put huge chunks of steel around the same lousy core. Even more ridiculous are the Master clones sold at dollar stores and Harbor Freight. The blue plastic says, "SECURITY." It's like a product calling itself, "premium." Why clone a Master? That's just madness.
It's got to be soul crushing for these companies to have their dreams crushed under a minute. Imagine how much time goes into development. "This is our best product to date!" Just for LPL to completely dissect it in seconds.
I love your technique and of course the way you explain what you are doing every step of the way it makes it more enjoyable and at least I think I seem to obtain more knowledge that way thank you for your videos
Those Lishi lock picks are great for demonstrating what you are locking when picking... Honestly when you use your standard hook pick, you look like you're performing magic!
I'm here because a channel I'm subscribed to has an April fool's video about how to turn off your computer. LPL always got the best April fool's videos, and he hasn't uploaded a video yet... just have to check in on you man.
Sometime you should do one of these teardowns where you show the process of putting it back together afterwards. Looks like it would be pretty challenging.
Your skills are something else! Hardly any of these locks pose any challenge to you. Having said that, I’d imagine picking some of these locks would be more challenging if they were secured to small mock-ups of what they’re supposed to be protecting. In reality, you often don’t get to manhandle the lock into an advantageous position for picking. I think it’s time to knock it up a notch. 😉
Same. I've even bought his kit. I think I managed to pick a two pin lock easily and a 6 pin lock once (I think it was dumb luck). BTW - Never once did I feel anything. You know when you hear him say "Click out of one". I'm always like did that do anything? and my answer is I have no idea.
@@toolsarecool I won't, but I need it for more than just getting into my vehicle if I get locked out, I don't have a key for the door to my car, the key that works in the ignition for whatever reason doesn't work on the doors so I can use the tool to decode the key and get one printed out for it as well
I've only been watching the channel, but haven't been able to get beginner tools yet. But, watching the pick, I was expecting a spooled pin after some of the counter-rotation and false-setting. Going back to the footage, I think it was pins 5 and 6, close to the point of opening. The gutting and explanation was great, though. It really seems like the designers analyzed this like a lockpicker, and every time they found a vulnerability, they put in one thing to counter that. I'm impressed with the effort. The varied spring strengths and pin materials were very nice touches.
I came across this channel due to a meme posted on Quora about the comment section roasting the locks he can pick and now this is my favorite channel❤❤❤
I think many people would also like to see more videos on exactly what can be done to make locks as difficult to pick as possible by replacing the pins and springs. He could load the lock with his best choice of pick resistant pins then pick it again to demonstrate effectiveness. Yes he will have a big advantage knowing what he has done to the lock but he could still comment on the level of increased security if any. Covert Instruments could sell packs of the most diabolical and pick resistant pins. It's only about making it more difficult for the people who might actually try to pick your locks.
I'm extreemely curious to see what would stop an "experienced picker" (excluding Bowley like ones). It would be nice to see an example for benchmarking and so that we can have a reference for these other videos. Thanks as always!
What I loved about the video is the beautiful example of counter rotation. When I saw the movement is just clicked in my head. No pun intended. Well, maybe a little pun, lol.
I like to see they made an effort that has some reasonable effect its not pick proof or even high security by most standards its the standard I would like to see for any run of the mill padlock I might consider getting one
I'm simply impressed by the number of security features it has, meanwhile most of the locks here in the US you'd be lucky to find 2-3 of these, if any at all.
I understand and appreciate LPL's wish for anonymity, but he's gotten so expressive talking with literally just his voice and two hands, I would not be able to process ever seeing his face. Like I could imagine him giving a live presentation from a podium that's 7 feet tall, with just two holes and a worktable for his hands to come out and present.
You're new around here, aren't you? I can tell by the way you thought the LPL taking under a minute to pick a lock was quick. If you watch a few of his other videos you'll realise that what he said about this lock was considered high praise indeed by regular followers.
Surprisingly good lock for a pin tumbler design. I wish you had commented about why the shackle had ball bearing cuts on different depths. I don't remember seeing that in other padlocks.
"No country of origin markings on the pacaking but, unless i am mistaken, this came from a Taiwanese factory with an above average reputation for its tolerances and pick resistance and was assembled by Ming Li during an afternoon shift on a Tuesday or Thursday, which are the inly days he works..." Thats how well LPL knows the lock manufacturing world....
Skimming through comments here it’s actually funny how a lock defeated so quickly seems to be considered a decent effort and respectable product by not only everyone watching (including me) but the guy that pulled its pants down. If I manufactured this lock and saw this video I’d actually be proud of it.

Average lock for LPL: 30 secs.
This lock for LPL: 42 secs.
Not spectacular, but definitely better than most!
yeah considering the measures here did not help against LPL (not that they were designed to)
had he used a simpler method, it would not have worked so well.
30 seconds is for the ones that have security pins and require actual picking. For all locks together his average time is about 5 seconds, haha.
Average lock for LPL: 30 secs.
This lock for LPL: 42 secs.
MasterLock for LPK: 1 sec
most masterlock are 3 seconds
42 secs with a special tool, so there are some more points in this lock's favor
"Not a bad effort"
That's pretty high praise from LPL. Maybe not the strongest lock you can get but certainly above average 🥳
That was a very solid lock. He brought out the "big guns" right off the bat.
Good enough it won't be the weak point in most padlock scenarios.
LPL saying "Not a bad effort" is his version of "You made me use 10% of my power."
I agree, took him more than 5 seconds, so on LPL scale this is an amazing lock.
I swear LPL sounds so much like that Fox LiveNOW anchor Josh Breslow, it's scary.

3:41: “I wanna make sure I keep track of these springs…”

That spring wanted to steal the star status of this clip from spring 2... and let's be honest, it at least came very close.
Fly away, be free!
I find that very relatable.
This was practically a ringing endorsement, lol
If he says it's not bad, then it's better than 97% if not all of the locks sold in retail stores here in the States.
What do you mean by pick
This is the most varied of pins I have seen you do, that's a huge step more than most lock makers

Thats how well LPL knows the lock manufacturing world....
I’m gutted as well, I just bought one last week!
I like Matlock's they seem to be built well and I have found they do offer some pick resistance.
The barcode starting '50' on the packaging is a strong indicator this is for the UK market.
Skimming through comments here it’s actually funny how a lock defeated so quickly seems to be considered a decent effort and respectable product by not only everyone watching (including me) but the guy that pulled its pants down.
If I manufactured this lock and saw this video I’d actually be proud of it.
LPL, crushing the hopes and dreams of lock manufacturers everywhere! 🤣
This is quite the glowing review comparatively
