LUCAN Metal Products LTD was an Israeli company established in 1980 and is registered as no longer in business (probably closed shop in the 80's). There's very little information about it, but the address ("Esser Tachanot st") no longer exists because it was renamed to Raoul Wallenberg st. many years ago. Fun fact: It was located near a historical site from the Ottoman period called 'Esser Tachanot' ("10 flour mills") which is now a busy office/industrial area. About the Soviet design: there was a large Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union to Israel in the 70's, with many having industrial and engineering education/background. I can only imagine it has something with the company or the padlock's design. This is indeed a rare find and looks in excellent condition. sorry I couldn't find more info on the company or its products.
You already excelled at the background of the address! I have huge respect for people like you who are armed with valuable insights and take the time to post it up 😊
There's not a world where he hasn't tried it off camera 😅😂 My guess is it didn't work and there's no chance he's putting out a video where the lock wins no matter the ridiculous scenario! 🔒🥕
That's not a high bar, but it's clear that it's not resistant at all. It's just time consuming because of what you have to do to get the bar out of the way.
But only because LPL didn't make a special tool. Make a tool and it'll be matter of seconds. Could be probably something like a key to a similar lock with all but the first "ridge" filed away.
It took LPL longer to pick this lock than most of the other Locks he picked. Master Lock is a Joke. It can be raked or bypassed, single pin picking is also easy with only Four pins on many of their locks.
I noticed that you struggled considerably on this lock. My advice as a non lawyer and a non lock picker is to try wedging a carrot in there. I heard this from some lawyer who happens to pick locks for a living. You should give it a try and see if the results improve
Low skill DC but a long action time. Ultimately any lock is just a matter of time if someone has enough skill to make it eventually, so its worth considering.
3:14 While I did indeed get the impression from your description that what you were doing was not in any way difficult, I do think it worth noting how freaking LONG it took even you to do it.
As he told in the previous video - if this type of lock was more or less common he could make a special instrument that'd open the lock much faster. Nobody just uses those locks now.
As mentioned before,the main aspects of the lock when it was designed in the Soviet Union was minimal precision with high resistance to the elements,the design is simple enough to do that but as confirmed by other,can be defeated with a good enough carrot.
@@F1r1at You can't make a special tool to open these locks faster. Rack lock is a type of ward lock where you need to engage every single ward, not just any of them. The tool he was using was already the best tool you can use to pick a rack lock. How do I know? I had to pick rack locks in real life.
@@michaelbuckersyes yes, the same was said about dimple locks and every other specialty lock out there that found tracktion. The tool only needs to have the coresponding amount of sides to engage the racks. Your statement is nothing more than a singular case. It wonˋt hold up outside of that.
@@АлександрЛарионов-е4у You there! You’re a slav! You must have these lying around! You must find out for the masses. Grab a carrot (I guess a turnip would work as well) and see if it works!
@@bobspldbckwrds Not really. Most of the time, a lock that takes LPL 3 minutes to open is one that would take a less experienced picker much longer, or even be impossible for them. That's great security, because there are very few pickers as skilled as LPL. But this one? *Any* picker who knows what they're up against will open it in under 5 minutes. Sure, it's better than no lock, or some Masterlock POS that can be shimmed open faster than using the actual key, but it's not at all 'high security'.
We need a carrot demonstration! I'm from the former USSR country, I've seen such lock many times. Never heard about carrot method, but now I'm intrigued! I don't have such locks, but if you will not show us the carrot, I will have to buy a lock and try myself...
I believe that Esser Tachanot Street was renamed to Raoul Wallenberg Street. Number 10 on that Street is now a police station, but that building looks like it was built in the last 30 years or so.
@@LordPrecision would you consider those old fashioned keys with the big flat teeth and the round cylinder body (seems to be called a warded lock) to be "exactly locks"? And isn't a standard tumbler lock with coded pins the same thing essentially? Instead of a spring loaded bolt that gets pulled by the key, you're just moving pins out of the way of a tumbler. Either way, the lock involves something that's in the way and can only be moved out of the way by an inserted key. It feels arbitrary to me to call one a lock and the other "not exactly a lock". Is a disc detainer more of a lock than a pin and tumbler? What about those flat keys with all the circular indents and bumps on both sides?
You realize that the cuts in the rack and key can be spaced at arbitrary intervals, right? You have to have a key that matches the lock. It may be a very easy-to-defeat mechanism, but it's still a lock.
It has an impressioning attack that is very low skill. A carrot or appropriately sized plastic strip (like a cut glue stick) can be forced through and will either work as the key or just make a difficult to clean mess
@ True, simplistic as the design is, it stood up much longer than a typical big box store padlock on this channel. This lock has four racks, which would make the carrot attack which is trivial on Soviet single bar apartment locks somewhat difficult as the impression disintegrates as it goes. Or at least more difficult for an unskilled would-be lockpick such as myself.
He tells us this is probably the best of this design ever made and still defeats all four bolts in a video that's less then 4 minutes. I'm glad I don't have to rely on these. Even though it took longer then a master lock.
I know folks are disappointed by the lack of carrot, but consider this: Given the size of the keyway on the padlock, a carrot would be hard to make work there. The piece you'd be forcing through would probably be too thin to give you the leverage you'd need. You'd probably have to do it on the Soviet locks. Also, given that this padlock is kind of a rare piece, in the LPL's case I'd be genuinely concerned about screwing up the internal mechanisms. I think if he does pick a rack lock with a carrot, it'll be a different one.
Exactly this. However, this is a great example on how a lock can't rely on just being difficult if its beaten quickly once someone figures it out. In the same way it shouldn't rely on just pick resistance or cut resistance when the other is trivial. This lock is time consuming while modestly tricky enough.
To be fair, LPL has not picked very many of these and doesn't have a specialized tool specifically made to defeat them. I would imagine that with a purpose-built tool LPL could probably get through these pretty trivially.
@@Jedibob5 3 inch junk of 1/2" pipe with a couple steel electrical conduit covers affixed to either end with a a few hundred feet of copper magnet wire wrapped around it so you got a nice spool about the size of your fist (should be plenty of power i would think as that'll pick up fairly large plates of steel and pounds of nails at a time lol). Wire the one end of the coil wire to the positive terminal of a small ATV or lawnmower battery. Tape your newly constructed electromagnet to the side of the battery with some duct tape so it's all one discreet little rig. Keep the negative cable away from the corresponding terminal until you go to use it. Should be able to fit in a small knapsack... Set it against the door or padlock, connect the remaining wire to the negative terminal, and give it a little rattle/shake until the magnet defeats any springs and/or pulls any bolts. Should basically be a master key and have plenty of juice for a whole bunch of robberies if one were so inclined. I'd bet money most police forces have a specialized rig for that in those areas... Maybe even gangs or organized crime outfits... Personally i'd feel safer with a lock someone at least had to pick, cut, or kick in without such an obvious universal security flaw. It would at least make noise to warn you or have some exposure time instead of them being able to walk up to the door and be through it rather silently as though they were using a key with nobody likely the wiser. You could ostensibly make the damn thing for free visiting a junkyard (magnet wire is used in windings of electric motors, transformers, inductors, generators, headphones, loudspeaker coils, and other devices, very easy to procure at almost any junkyard) or spending a few bucks at a hardware store (it's pretty cheap). Not hard to steal a small 12 volt battery out of something. Hell most ppl have all the stuff to build that just laying around their garage...

Such locks are most often installed on outdoor gates. Their advantage is that if the lock is flooded and freezes in winter, you can warm it up with a blowtorch or heat gun without the risk of damage. Even if these locks don't have the highest level of security, in this case it's not a big deal, since a thief can simply climb over the fence.
Whoa, this sent me down a rabbit hole, trying to find any information on this company. It's scarce. From the phone number (which is the old, pre-1995 format of Israeli landline phones that had 6 digits) I was able to find an ad in a newspaper archive from 1988! The Hebrew name for it was לוקאן but the street is called Raoul Wallenberg st. now.... I found the company registry (לוקאן מוצרי מתכת - Lucan Metal Products), and it seems that it was established in 1980, but long defunct. Anyway, very cool piece of history you got there!
We came for the carrot ! But I feel generous, you're free to use another vegetable or common object to open it ! It was very slow to open, and if poeple don't know, they don't know how to open it at all !
My granddad was instrumentation metal worker back in USSR from when he was 14 during ww2 and to retirement. He did rack locks for all apartment doors, garages, etc. He made a verdion with two sliding bars/rods, 2 cm square steel oomphs. Idea was that it is hard to cut, tear apart or pry.
3:30 - Yeah, I can't imagine why anyone would claim these to be impossible to pick. Watching your lead-up vid, my immediate thought was "all you have to do is use something to slide the bolt out of the way, and the teeth/grooves provide a mechanism for just that..." I've never picked a lock or even tried, though seeing the mechanicals of many it's easy to understand how various picking methods work, and this just seems/seemed obvious to me.
If everyone started using these, someone would make a dedicated pick, and, honestly, it's an obvious design that would open this lock almost as fast as a key and with no more skill required.
Honestly this is a case of its easy to pick but its also one of the longer pick times ive seen from many of your videos, thats honestly a decent lock. easy but time consuming
Eh, as others have mentioned, its not a difficult attack if you know it. However, that it takes a while regardless of how good you are once you're good enough is still a merit worth considering.

I would think this has something to do with practice. He has picked thousands of traditional locks. I assume he has picked way fewer of these.
He already said in the last video that if these were more common he'd just make a specific tool and they'd be completely trivial
I think the amount of time it takes is mostly just because of how far the bolts need to be moved rather than any actual difficulty in picking it

This is the longest I've ever seen a lock last with him. Sounds like we should all be buying 1985 Ukrainian rack locks.
If everyone started using these, someone would make a dedicated pick, and, honestly, it's an obvious design that would open this lock almost as fast as a key and with no more skill required.
This man is continually coming out with entire categories of locks I've never even heard of.
I wonder how many video sessions it will take to get rid of the carrot comments!
Never! Carrot,carrot carrot 🥕
Ca-rot ca-rot carrot carrot.

Honestly this is a case of its easy to pick but its also one of the longer pick times ive seen from many of your videos, thats honestly a decent lock. easy but time consuming
This needs a follow up with the carrot method! Dont leave us like that!
Strikes me that the unusual mechanism would confuse a lot of potential pickers
Any lock that takes more than 30 seconds for you to pick is an outstanding lock!
Eh, as others have mentioned, its not a difficult attack if you know it. However, that it takes a while regardless of how good you are once you're good enough is still a merit worth considering.

Wow. 1985 israel had you going for 3 minutes! Impressed!
