The fact that most locks take 1 to 5 seconds for him to open, this lock is definitely impressive. It's a big deal definitely because this one actually took some effort from him.
Yeah that is the same thing that I told my boss prior to telling him that I got locked inside one of the restrooms at work, because some bozo maintenance man installed the door knob/ lock backwards and I became the restroom prisoner and after a few hours I had to punch my way through the Sheetrock wall in order to stick my arm through the hole in order for me to unlock the restroom door so that I was able to escape; And of course my boss laughed at the whole thing; Oh brother talk about a situation 😜🥺
Let me put it this way, I used to work for a few years as a service guy in a hardware store specialized on locks, doors etc, servicing padlocks, door lock "cylindric-plugs" and lock bodies (ya know, the european style), doing unified keying, some small-time master key systems, bla bla bla, I haven't found any time to actually practice picking, because it really takes MORE time to disassemble and assemble than picking it.
@Kurt Which of his videos include those kind of locks? I'm quite interested to see him pick difficult locks, but I don't know where to start looking for them in his 1000+ videos.. Edit: Nevermind, I found them. I just gotta search for "Naughty Bucket" in his channel 😂
Yeah, tell me, did I drop dead and go to heaven? I thought that was the only way I' d see a 'long' (by LPL standards, average length for BosnianBill or other TH-camrs) video from LPL. >.
The fact that he was able to pick the lock means I'm NOT impressed. It just means i need to avoidt this lock as well. Who am i kidding? i may as well not even have locks on my house. they can only be violated anyway so what's the point
They are still made but under the 'Union' brand (the Union works was situated in Union Street, Willenhall UK and the Yale works was in nearby Wood Street). Same with other former Chubb products. The Chubb brand is now owned by United Technologies (who own Otis elevators etc) having become separated from the lock manufacturing operations which ended up with ASSA Abloy and ASSA Abloy had a licence to use the Chubb brand but this terminated several years ago. Interestingly a British arm of ASSA Abloy is still licenced to use the Chubb brand for detention locks presumably this being important for for export purposes.
That's... actually not a bad idea. You could hollow it out or something (which i'm sure would take loads of time, money, and knowledge), and then put money or keys *in* it. Who would ever think to look inside a lock?
First of all. I love how this is still all one take even though he struggles with this lock he still doesn't use any cuts what so ever. And secondly i would to have a video explaining all the technical terms with explantions. I've been watching the videos for quite a while now and still don't know the difference between binding and a click 🤷🏼♂️
"Binding" means that the pin isn't moving using the normal amount of force, "counter rotation" means that applying force on the pin is making the core move backwards, and "click" is the noise and tactile feel of a pit stack aligning with the shear line. Much of the terms refer to things that are entirely detected by feel.
Binding: means that, with pressure applied from the tension wrench (tensioner), the pin provides resistance against the pick pushing it up. This usually happens when that is the pin stopping the core from turning. Click: the sound a pin makes when it was binding, but reaches the sheer line and allows the core to move a little more. Note: serated pins make this MUCH harder to detect since each movement of the pin against the edge of the pin chamber will result in a click. Some locksport enthusiasts will even cut grooves into a pin chamber (usually with a thread tap) to make this even more pronounced. Any others?
Bosnianbill usually goes deeper into explaining the technical points of lockpicking, so maybe check out his vids. As for bind/click... when you turn a lock core with a tension wrench, because not all the pins and pin chambers are exactly the same size, one or more of the pins will press against the side. When you try to move the pins with a pick, you will notice some friction, while the others move freely. Those pins are binding, which is an indication that they are the ones to pick first. When the binding pin is moved into the unlocked position, it will fall into place with a little click. So, binding means that a pin is ripe for picking, a click indicates that it is picked.
@@thomasjenkins7506 depends on what you're locking up, and why. The masterlock plastic loto lock has a very hard to pick core, but it's in a plastic body. So that if the person who locked it is off site and you absolutely must have the unit back up and running, you can just break the lock. But nobody is going to pick that lock to mess with the machine. And if someone is hurt by the machine after the lock is broken, it's obvious that the procedures were followed, so now it's a deliberate criminal act instead of an accident.
"Yet another useless lock. If I can do it so can you, and anyone else who's determined enough. Your best bet is to not even bother with this lock" I'm sorry but this is the exact impression I get for every lock that gets violated at all. I've only ever seen 2 locks that couldn't be picked. one of them is on my front door, and the only reason for that is because it's broke anyway. can't even use the key, it just spins and spins and spins.
It's interesting to see that the steel pins are longer (at least, the first two), which I expect also aids in drill protection. There's a good amount of thought in the design of this lock!
Yes, a smaller piece wouldn't do much against a drill. That being said, the whole anti-drill is more of a nuisance. I've yet to meet a lock that doesn't "open" to a reduced tip 3 to 10 mm. You just eat through them all the way through, the secret being very methodical and temperate about your chip evacuation.
@@aserta I thought it would primarily displace the drill to the softer body instead of the pins, the deflection causing stress on the drill, but more importantly not going through the pins. If you are meticulous, it should still be possible, but it seems quite unpleasant. Never tested this though.
Look at the Key and you know why they are longer. I think that at this cores 1, 3 and 6 are always Steel, and it doesnt has to do with the longness. Because 5 is also long but made out of brass. Edit: meanwhile i watched some other disasemblings of this lock, and its always 1, 3 and 6 out of steel :)
After watching a bunch of your very entertaining and informative videos, I realize that when they show people “picking locks” in TV and movies, they almost never do anything like what picking a lock looks like! So, now I can be smug about that, too!
Having grown up in Wolverhampton UK (quite a few years ago), home of Chubb for a long time, it's sad we no longer have the manufacturing but great to still see the name.
I still see them on doors ect when people dispose of doors and things, Chubb were a definite mainstay when it came to locks and latches, if you had a Chubb you were secure quite ideal really as I’m a novice lock picker so I can get locks for basically nothing
I have a few Chubb locks from a family member who was a foreman at Chubb in Wolverhampton many many years ago. Safe to say they don't make them like they used too!
I'm not involved in locksmithing at all or any nefarious dealings with locks. I've always been interested in taking things apart and putting them together as a kid. I love these videos, seeing the time and engineer that goes into these locks is amazing.
LPL always telling us to “have a nice day” is somewhat spoiled by every one of his videos demonstrating how utterly unsafe every lock in the world is 😅
Actually there a plenty of safe locks in the world and a lot of the ones he shows off are also very good. You need to remember he is a professional, maybe the best in the world and certainly one of the best in the world. Just because he can pick a lock in a minute it doesn't make it an unsafe/bad choice.
I passed the LSAT and bought the Lockpick School in a Box from Lockpick world. The LSAT is a tough test, and learning the ins and outs of locks has really helped with stress. It's my calming exercise and I love your channel! A friend in Law school recommended it. Bravo, and keep the vids coming!
Grease works great for sticking stuff - apart from the obvious applications like sticking loose ball bearings into bicycle wheel hubs (they need grease for lubrication anyway), it's also handy for sticking non-magnetic screws to screwdrivers when placing them in hard-to-reach places.
This lock was also sold with an upgraded core that was more pick resistant. I've not seen the LPL take this long picking a lock in quite sometime. Also that was one of the most sophisticated set of pins I've ever seen him disassemble.
Oddly satisfying to hear the usual "Click out of one. [ etc. etc. ] Six is binding." I always lean back to relax when I hear it said like this. Thank you.
Just bought my first pickset with an transparent training/learning lock. Was a bit disappointed. Opend it in a few seconds without any experience (and without looking). Now i need more locks :) Thanks for all the videos you make! For me, you are the Bob Ross of Lockpicking :D
It's not like it's impossible to pick, but at least those steel pins and spools show there was a lot of care put into making this lock harder to breach.
Wow beautifully made the whole lock is beautiful 25 years ago and it's a lot better than most today everything was done sweet I would love that Chubb amazed at the quality in it lot of thought
Always nice to see you disassemble locks. Seeing the internals is the most interesting part to me, and it feels like you don't do that as often as you used to.
I'm a decent lock picker. I had a Chubb identical to this one years back. It took me a week of working on it two hours per day before I finally got it picked. Mr. LPL opens it in minutes. LPL mentions casually how the cuts makes you pick the pins "a couple of times" and how the taper makes them easy to over set. Those two features, IMO, are so very much better at making a lock pick resistant than simple spools and serrated pins, which are easily defeated.
@@asdfasdf7199 unless its almost equired to pick it. ex: breaking into a safe. Picking it would be a lot easier (depending on the materials on lock) than breaking with brute force. Also I am a burglar watching so make it 5
These videos seem boring with the first video you watch until a click outta 4 sends you down a rabbithole of wholesome and lovely content from this man who would be able to pick the lock on the laws of nature
I really like the longer form content you do. It is still not long enough to lose folks though just more great entertainment. Thank You! I wish good health and all the best to you and yours!
When he says things like "we'll apply top of the key way tension" does he do that because he's practiced with the lock off camera, or does he recognize/know the type of lock and from experience know which way to tension/pick it?
True story- I was just a mechanic and at one of my jobs and I met a scientist that lived in Antarctica for years. He was the one that really got me into defeating locks, but you've taught me a ridiculous amount of tricks that can never be taught in any other format. I am happy that your channel soared from where I first noticed it as you've saved me so much time in my daily of just trying to help others so I can do the things I need done. Not every day you run into somebody that can beat an American Lock or an Abus in under a minute. Sometimes I pick them just to re-lock them in different places.
How do you get so many locks to upload SO many videos, so consistently, for so long? Also, does anyone ever wonder if this guy's as good at lawyering as he has at lockpicking?
I often wonder if he's a trial lawyer or some other kind. The systematic way he lays out his arguments against bad lock design, I'd have to imagine he'd be very persuasive in court
I think fan's occasionally send locks, and he buys them too. second hand locks off craigslist, new ones from Amazon. that sort of thing. Its a hobby for him. (since vids aren't payed adverts) and imo no more expensive than any other hobby that has you collecting stuff.
Chubb, Charles Chubb was a ship ironmonger around England until they moved to my home town Wolverhampton (early 1800s), the same place traffic lights started being used, as a locksmith. The Chubb Building is still infamously there on Railway St. Royally backed too. And picked like a cheap lock by LPL LOL
i normally don't particularly enjoy these disassembly parts, and i'm glad you've largely moved away from filming them, but this was a great choice to bring it back from, since there were so many security features to discuss.
Yes! LPL has returned to the roots: Long videos with some gutting involved. Eye candy for all the enthusiasts out there. Hope you have the time needed for these videos.
Go to some locksmith and ask for lock modified as this one was modified by who ever made this core. But most likely that shape of key will be jamming after some time(most likely because of that the guy soaked everything in lubricants as it also do not look like factory job to me).
I love when a lock with this sort of pedigree shows up on the channel. You can just hear the amount of respect LPL has for it in the intro and it feels good.
Oooooh! My wife just asked a great question: how about a countdown of the ten easiest to pick locks? The converse is the top ten hardest to pick locks -- I can understand why LPL wouldn't want to make a video that could be interpreted as recommendation for or against particular products. We wouldn't want to see LPL getting sued over a video . . . .
Paclock mostly. They make great locks at a good price. He (and BosnianBill) helped Paclock company refine their locks to the point where they are-at their price point-the pinnacle of padlocks.
@Gerald Hurt, good point! But there might be some other contenders for a place on the top ten worst. And, of course, LPL could list companies or particular lines when appropriate.
That's a lock I would buy! Also it's weird, but this brass spools look beautifully crafted. Almost like a piece of art. Not to mention you can see a lot of thought and experience went into design of this lock.
Congratulations on winning the contest. You and him can be ghost at the talk his puppet is giving the next few weeks. He's busy helping me for a few days clean up this mess here while he writes a research paper for the other math teacher. Chris is one helluva guy
I'd say this is a pretty good padlock then! It took him a lot longer than most to pick and disassembly wasn't straightforward either. I'm quite impressed.

Wow, its been a while since I've heard the name. They were quite big in my country as a kid. I think some of the door locks in our old house used to be Chubb. I vaguely remember Tv and reader's digest? ads as well. It makes sense that they are now Union, coz those locks are everywhere here too!

@@schribez6656 he takes an average of 5-6 seconds normally, this is definitely a struggle compared to normal
I have never, and likely will never pick a lock...but I love your channel, especially the disassemble, destructive attacks, and bypasses.
Chris Ramsay/Mr. Puzzle are crying out . . . "SPIN MOVE!"
underrated 👍❤
LOL
Wow beautifully made the whole lock is beautiful 25 years ago and it's a lot better than most today everything was done sweet I would love that Chubb amazed at the quality in it lot of thought
Around 1 minutes and 30 seconds. For the mere mortals it's gonna be never.
They are a lot trickier than the pins would suggest.
Stefan Bekan' yeah way easier to destroy the door or even the wall
1 minute 16 seconds, from when his pick first entered, until the tension turns
@@blackthrone6976 Each lock that takes LPL more than 1 minute to pick it, it's a good choice to buy.

Don't forget he said they offer an even more pick resistant version, so that one would probably take him even longer
He is the lawyer that every 🔐 lock manufacturer should hire.
The most frustrated ive seen you trying to disassemble a lock 😆
I am embarrassed to say I did have a bit of a laugh at the point he asked us not to.
@@thoughtfortheday7811 don't worry i have failed as well :)
Always nice to see you disassemble locks. Seeing the internals is the most interesting part to me, and it feels like you don't do that as often as you used to.
Lock: "No! You don't get to see my parts, that's private!"
🍆🐱
I'm a decent lock picker. I had a Chubb identical to this one years back. It took me a week of working on it two hours per day before I finally got it picked. Mr. LPL opens it in minutes. LPL mentions casually how the cuts makes you pick the pins "a couple of times" and how the taper makes them easy to over set. Those two features, IMO, are so very much better at making a lock pick resistant than simple spools and serrated pins, which are easily defeated.
I am curious as to how many legitimate burglars there are watching this guy, as a step by step guide on how to unlock locks.

How the F**k you're here???????
You're everywhere!
most burglars use destructive methods, they're not going to take the time pick something like this
@@asdfasdf7199 unless its almost equired to pick it. ex: breaking into a safe. Picking it would be a lot easier (depending on the materials on lock) than breaking with brute force. Also I am a burglar watching so make it 5
These videos seem boring with the first video you watch until a click outta 4 sends you down a rabbithole of wholesome and lovely content from this man who would be able to pick the lock on the laws of nature
C H U B B
This should've been reserved for the April Fools for next year...
I really like the longer form content you do. It is still not long enough to lose folks though just more great entertainment. Thank You!
I wish good health and all the best to you and yours!
When he says things like "we'll apply top of the key way tension" does he do that because he's practiced with the lock off camera, or does he recognize/know the type of lock and from experience know which way to tension/pick it?
he already picked and gutted the lock off camera. There is a recent video where he goes trough his video-making process
Both
He's said in a previous video that he picks them off camera first.
Likely he recognizes the key/lock type and had researched the lock previously
A little bit of A, and a little bit of B.
True story- I was just a mechanic and at one of my jobs and I met a scientist that lived in Antarctica for years. He was the one that really got me into defeating locks, but you've taught me a ridiculous amount of tricks that can never be taught in any other format. I am happy that your channel soared from where I first noticed it as you've saved me so much time in my daily of just trying to help others so I can do the things I need done. Not every day you run into somebody that can beat an American Lock or an Abus in under a minute. Sometimes I pick them just to re-lock them in different places.
Future video: "I'm going to wack the lock against this beater block Bill and I made."
I have learned so much about lock construction with your videos.
It is only at this moment that i understand how the word Chubb came to be synonymous with something that is short, thick and stubby.
Give that ball bearing a standing ovation!
👏👏👏👏👏
Today was my first ever time to try lockpicking with paperclips. It took me literally 2 minutes to open up a common lock...
Yeee!!
Disassemblies are back! Fantastic job. Thanks!
Those are always the most interesting parts of videos to me.
This thing is like the complete opposite of a low skill raking attack, or just inserting a shim to open it.
I love your comments like "if only the core this hard to pick". You had me rolling with that one!
The fact that it took LPL more than 5 seconds to pick the “weaker” core is very impressive
Rewatch the video especialy the part where he is talking about the key...
What a great lock. I have dealt with stubborn locks before, no worries there. You did a pro job picking it. Happy Memorial Day. 🇺🇸
His voice is so relaxing
You new?
Basically it's little hypnotic
So he hypothesis the locks to open
Indian Here ahaha no, i just thought it was worth mentioning
I'm surprised this wasn't next years April fools video, "Chubb" seems like a shoe in for it. Always good to see your videos regardless, God bless you
How do you get so many locks to upload SO many videos, so consistently, for so long? Also, does anyone ever wonder if this guy's as good at lawyering as he has at lockpicking?
Good at everything
Definitely good at invoicing
The planet is huge with many countries with their own locks over past century.
I often wonder if he's a trial lawyer or some other kind. The systematic way he lays out his arguments against bad lock design, I'd have to imagine he'd be very persuasive in court
I think fan's occasionally send locks, and he buys them too. second hand locks off craigslist, new ones from Amazon. that sort of thing. Its a hobby for him. (since vids aren't payed adverts) and imo no more expensive than any other hobby that has you collecting stuff.
LPL -- Nice to see you pick a quality, reasonably high security lock for a change -- Thanks
You must've just bought this on eBay, only a lawyer could afford it. Lol
He is a *lockpicking* lawyer
How much does it cost
@@me_hanics EVERYTHING
@@me_hanics the one that just sold on eBay that I was talking about was US$ 250. :/
Thank you for posting this video. I really appreciate you showing all the time you spent struggling with the lock.
Last time I was this early the channel was called LockPickingLawStudent
Chubb, Charles Chubb was a ship ironmonger around England until they moved to my home town Wolverhampton (early 1800s), the same place traffic lights started being used, as a locksmith. The Chubb Building is still infamously there on Railway St. Royally backed too. And picked like a cheap lock by LPL LOL
You know you're in trouble when a Ball Bearing is more pick resistant than the actual lock itself.
i normally don't particularly enjoy these disassembly parts, and i'm glad you've largely moved away from filming them, but this was a great choice to bring it back from, since there were so many security features to discuss.
When you said "Try not to laugh at me" i was already giggling, couldn't hould it, sorry lol
Yes! LPL has returned to the roots: Long videos with some gutting involved. Eye candy for all the enthusiasts out there. Hope you have the time needed for these videos.
Our messiah actually struggled opening and deconstructing this lock!!! Where can I buy this lock?
Go to some locksmith and ask for lock modified as this one was modified by who ever made this core. But most likely that shape of key will be jamming after some time(most likely because of that the guy soaked everything in lubricants as it also do not look like factory job to me).
Oh yes...! The pleasure of gutting a lock. I don't know why, but I feel it being so satisfying. Maybe because of the small parts.
The real Chubb would turn screws in the grave if he saw that.
EIGHT AND 42! I will need an over night bag and tent to watch this epic LPL video!
You know LPL gets a chubb everytime he thinks about picking a lock.
I love when a lock with this sort of pedigree shows up on the channel. You can just hear the amount of respect LPL has for it in the intro and it feels good.
Can you make a playlist of the locks you recommend the most?
Oooooh! My wife just asked a great question: how about a countdown of the ten easiest to pick locks? The converse is the top ten hardest to pick locks -- I can understand why LPL wouldn't want to make a video that could be interpreted as recommendation for or against particular products. We wouldn't want to see LPL getting sued over a video . . . .
Paclock mostly. They make great locks at a good price. He (and BosnianBill) helped Paclock company refine their locks to the point where they are-at their price point-the pinnacle of padlocks.
@Gerald Hurt, good point! But there might be some other contenders for a place on the top ten worst. And, of course, LPL could list companies or particular lines when appropriate.
This is a 8 minute LPL video.
That's it, I'm sold
GODD he really makes me question litterally every lock i have HAHA
Fortunately the world is NOT full to the brim of LPLs.
I think the best way to describe these excellent videos is "asmr for your eyes"
The last time I was this early LPL still had faith in Masterlock
Finally a video about what we all get when we have a new video notification.
When the lock is taking more than one minute
Lpl: *so you have chosen death*
Best comment so far
@@xttr1606 thanks
So glad your disassembling locks again I love that part of the video
I have one of these on my shed... probably fine, we're over 4000 miles apart
Sell it, they are worth good money. Im still looking for one but im in Australia. Lol
they are gonna cut a hole in the side of your shed before they get that lock off.
That's a lock I would buy! Also it's weird, but this brass spools look beautifully crafted. Almost like a piece of art. Not to mention you can see a lot of thought and experience went into design of this lock.
I'll get a girlfriend when LPL hits the 10 minute mark
Let's see how long it takes.
Damn bro, that’s gonna be never
already happened!

Congratulations on winning the contest. You and him can be ghost at the talk his puppet is giving the next few weeks.
He's busy helping me for a few days clean up this mess here while he writes a research paper for the other math teacher.
Chris is one helluva guy
So, does anyone have a Chubb?
I'm sorry.
Dude. That is so weird and why just why?
I do.
Low hanging fruit...
Dont be sorry.
It was a necessary service
Oh man, these comments are the best! XD
I'd say this is a pretty good padlock then! It took him a lot longer than most to pick and disassembly wasn't straightforward either. I'm quite impressed.
I would love to see him reassembling a lock
I don't know how I found this channel, but I'm so happy I did
Padlock inventor: I have spent years of my life on this product, and it is finally complete
The Lockpicking Lawyer: *I’m about to end this whole man’s career*
I would say NO, this took a while and LPL liked many features.
Wow, its been a while since I've heard the name. They were quite big in my country as a kid. I think some of the door locks in our old house used to be Chubb. I vaguely remember Tv and reader's digest? ads as well. It makes sense that they are now Union, coz those locks are everywhere here too!
