This was kindly sent to me by Starrylock (thank you!) after I commented about how much I liked it’s interesting locking mechanism. Really fun lock to explore and a great lock for the collection 👍🔐😃
'Yikes!', you might think, 'What really is the point of having a padlock which can be bypassed with a decent flat-bladed screwdriver? It looks like yet another cool idea, thwarted by bean-counting in manufacturing.' But, of course, a LOTO lock is designed to be overridden easily in an emergency, whilst telling people to keep out, or not to meddle, usually for safety reasons. Thanks Ash. A nice lock for the collection.
Hi and nice picking. I believe that the plastic mechanism is sometimes combined with a plastic outer cover and plastic shackle cover to provide electrical insulation. It's a safety thing. 👍
These are designed to be difficult to accidentally open while they are locked in place, and to quickly show tampering, not to prevent a deliberate homicide. But, they need to be easily destructively removed by supervisors if used improperly, or if the keys are lost. Imagine an electrician locking out a switch at the close of a work day, and returning to work the next morning... he checks his lock, and if it is still installed, he can go to work without starting over with the safety protocols.
What's the best way to remove one of these locks? I'm used to LOTO locks being plastic, which make sense, but some seem to be a bit beefier, like this one. Is the shackle unhardened?
I have an orange one of these that I was toying with, and kept getting in my own way while tensioning. Inspired me to get back at it, thanks for the video sir!
I bought one of these after seeing it on another channel. That guy couldn’t pick it with the cover on so I figured because of its uniqueness I’d buy one and put it to use.
Very cool lock. BTW, I was telling you about the gifted Dimple lock, Starry ordered it from Amazon Canada but was fulfilled by Amazon UK. Mystery solved. The LOTO locks are not really meant for security, that's why most have plastic elements to them.
It's a nice looking lock, pity security isn't so high. Although the response for this lock (Lock out) would indeed make you a little more forgiving. Thanks so much for sharing.
Lovely design of lock - nice to see workings Why do these safety lockout locks have plastic inside Masterlock safety lockout has a very good secure core wth a plastic case If you lock out equipment it needs to be secure from.picking but not physical attacks
It was my understanding that a "lock out" lock was made to be broke open destructively in an emergency? I think that's the reason for the plastic core.
Also Brady makes a style where everything, including the locking hasp and the ball bearings, is made from plastic so you can safely lock out a breaker panel.
It's obviously made to work in a factory type environment. The rubber sleeve in the keyway is a neat feature to keep it clean inside. It's not meant to be super high security, it's just a lockout lock. Wierd how it uses sidebars like a dimple lock
considering it is a safety lockout padlock, i think being able to be torqued off isn't a bad thing. people do lose keys. These locks aren't meant for security, they are meant for safety.
The design on this lock reminds me a lot of the “tu-bar” lock commonly found on gas pumps. Certainly clever but the execution needs work to be up to par.
I'm new to your channel and love your vids I'm a new TH-camr and I might make a lock picking video I mostly make Minecraft vids but lockpicking seems fun so if u have any suggestions for lock pic sets that would be cool Keep up the good work
It's a "lockout" lock as mentioned, which by design, are intentionally made to be easily opened destructively in an emergency, keyword easily. A common use would be to lockdown the control mechanism of a dangerous machine to prevent it from being turned on while maintenance is being done. It's for worker's safety. A full brass core would no longer qualify it as a lockout lock. Another example of a lockout lock is the Master Lock 410 which has a plastic body.

Indeed, thanks for letting us all know friend. :-)

Just like tubular locks except inline. They are cool. Well done 👍
Thanks Al!
I've seen this type of lock/core on cabinet drawers. Interesting stuff.
Thanks 🙏
Very cool lock Mr Noob. Great video sir 👍🇦🇺😊
Thanks
Definitely an interesting padlock, not seen one of those, so thanks for sharing.
Thanks 🙏
Really a great lock,I really want to try picking this
It’s cool!
Ooooh one of these just popped up on my Amazon suggestions, and considering the price and the unusual keyway I went ahead and ordered one! lol
they are fun!
I have an orange one of these that I was toying with, and kept getting in my own way while tensioning. Inspired me to get back at it, thanks for the video sir!
Quick update, just opened mine up! Thanks Lock Noob! 👍🏻

It’s a really fun lock!

I’ve always been curious about these locks, very interesting to see what is inside them. I may have to pick one up.
Thanks
Just found your channel!👌👌
Awesome! Hope you enjoy!
Looks super tough but then again so does my Kingsman cross lock
Looks on locks can be deceiving!
Lovely design of lock - nice to see workings
Why do these safety lockout locks have plastic inside
Masterlock safety lockout has a very good secure core wth a plastic case
If you lock out equipment it needs to be secure from.picking but not physical attacks
Yes the master lock 410 is a tough pick!
Cool ye, I wanted to see that picked while stills fully assembled
Glad I could help!
Cool idea neat lock but comes up short on delivering security
Depends really as it’s not really required to have a lot of security per se just a lot of key differs for safety reasons 😀
I'm working on one I purchased after seeing this in your video. Apparently I'm an idiot lol because I'm unable to feel anything when trying to pick it
You are no idiot, locks can be a pain like that sometimes - you’ll get it :-)
@@LockNoob Thank you Ash. I just cant seem to get feedback from the pins. Well I'm guessing it's still pins.
It was my understanding that a "lock out" lock was made to be broke open destructively in an emergency? I think that's the reason for the plastic core.
You could well be right!
Also Brady makes a style where everything, including the locking hasp and the ball bearings, is made from plastic so you can safely lock out a breaker panel.
Cool design, poor security choice, overall a nice novelty lock :)
I like it 😁
So interesting I had too watch the. Ideo 2 times sorry ytube would only let me LIKE once lol lol 😎
Thanks 😊

Yeah, it has the required level of security for it’s purpose:-)
She's a beauty, unusual design but cool to see something different. Shame about the plastic though.:/
I hope other LITO manufacturers don’t start using plastic cores. They’re such good trainers
I think so too!
Great Video! I just put one in my Amazon cart for payday.. 🤙🏼
Stay safe and healthy!
💀🔐
Thanks and you too!

Those tubar locks are har to pick!

Keep up the good work
Hi! Try this vid! th-cam.com/video/klwzLePxbZY/w-d-xo.html
Was there really three other moves to pick this?
Could you put a link in description where to buy the same items
I didn’t buy this, it was a gift
what a very cool lock Ash my friend 👊😎🇬🇧😊👍
Thanks Leon!
Nice lock shame it’s not made of brass

I like your videos but have a hard time hearing you, any chance of a microphone upgrade in the near future?
I use a blue yeti and when I turn my volume up I can hear everything super clear... I’m sorry to say I think it might be your setup?
