Been watching your videos for a while and I am a big fan. I have a friend whose father is a lifetime locksmith and a damn good one at that. Showed him some of your videos, now he watches your videos too. He is an older gentleman and is retired, but by showing him your videos and him being intrigued by your skill we succefully brought a man from the age of pen and paper to a smart phone/TH-cam master. He's 83 and everytime I see him he asks, "You seen our internet buddy pick that... He's good ain't he?"
Mum's Dad was a painter and I was a kid growing up with computers. He'd asked me how on earth do the computers represent colour, and from all the stuff I'd learned at uni, figured it'd be a cinch. And I think it really would have been. That is, if we'd both been fortunate enough to have watched him take the digital leap of faith. I think it never happened because he'd convinced himself he wouldn't understand. Then, nearly 14 years after we lost him, I read a comment like yours. Thanks. :)

I absolutely love how your first bit of commentary on the key is "If I made it, I'd move the break point further to make it more irritating to remove."
LPL encounters a time bomb with less than one minute: "This is now disarmed. Let me do that one more time to show you it was not a fluke. Also, as you can see, you don't need to drill out the core."
HE IS WORTH HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD. People and companies complained about him showing how to open locks. Today most of them send him locks to find weaknesses before they release for sale. He does it for free.
That wasn't a true killer key, as it didn't have the grove to keep it from getting pulled out. It was simply a key he put a breakaway groove in for demonstration.
@@smcdonald9991 while I'm sure they have some practical use, I'm sure 99% of these end up in the lock of "That neighbor" or the users boss or used for a stupid prank.
This is just cruel. Not only does he “kill” a lock, he plunges the tool back in to kill it again, makes a mockery of the tool with an improved version he just happens to have on his key ring and totally nullifies the threat of this product with one of his own in under 2 minutes and even that was taking his time. Brutal.
While his key is definitely an improved version, by the looks of the intrusion method, I think it would have similar results. LPL just shows that if there is a will there is a way to bypass basically any defensive measure.
@@darkest_eclipse8271 The best defensive measure is an armed guard. Passive measures only stop the unprepared and unskilled in their tracks; they only _slow down_ a prepared and skilled attacker, and in this case, it only slows them down by about five seconds. That may or may not be enough slow-down, depending primarily _on how far away that armed guard is._
On a recent RV trip, my wife put a bike lock key in the RV's ignition. The bike key has vertical slots that acted like a lockout key. I did not have my picks and had to improvise. My wife donated a barrette and I used that to lift the pins.
My dad was a locksmith a long time ago, he once rekeyed an entire office building alone in a week and the guy didn't want to pay him saying he took too long, so my dad went back and put lockout keys that breakoff in all the locks and said he can pay him to remove them and if someone else does he'll do it again

I've watched about a dozen vids here after coming from Stuff Made Here challenge and as soon LPL explained how a killer key works, I knew the type of tool he'd use. Fascinating how the right tool can easily defeat a certain security feature of a lock.

The killer key said, "You underestimate my power!" as LPL proceeds with an easy solution to get the key out. In the words of Mace Windu, "He's too dangerous to be left alive!" I fully expected him to beat the key, but I did not expect him to already have a tool for that exact purpose that just needed to be inserted once and removed. It’s like watching an action movie. You know the hero is going to win, but once in a while, the way he does it is still impressive.

Worst generals drill killer keys. Good generals kill the users who use killer keys. Best generals don't mind either way, they have defeated the lock before it was invented.
I once had an army 3,000,000 strong, equipped with the most advanced, latest in defense bullet proof armor, anti aircraft weaponry, and enough drones to ensure the sky was lit up for a whole year straight and this man singlehandedly took us down with a wrench and a key from a Knockoff lock he lost…. Body parts everywhere, and yet all he kept whispering as he slaughtered dozens was “overall, slight improvement over the master lock equivalent”………….
Personally I prefer the tactic of taping a sign on the door that reads "No" Then there's a chance of the attacker stopping to have a laugh before just kicking in the door frame

Seems like something to use in conjunction with a nice lock as an additional counter-picking measure. Maybe not so much against the equipped but even so. Also a potential tampering indicator if the key is easily broken from someone mistakenly trying to open the lock with it. I assure you, I'm definitely not taking notes about killer keys down as a potential strategy against my enemies. Thank you for the wonderful advice, comrade! You are truly doing God's work!
That definitely would be harder to defeat, but I think you could still do it without destroying the lock. Take a rotary tool with a cutting disk, slice the plate away until you can access the keyhole, and then do as the video here shows.
This is main reason I keep coming back. So many 'creators' these days feel the need to stretch out their content to 10 mins+ to simply to feed the algorithm and maximize ad revenue. Thank you LPL for keeping it real!

When I was in middle school, one of my classmates used a homemade "killer key" to disable our teacher's cabinet. It contained her school supplies and stuff she could hand over to the kids that needed a pen, paper, or whatnot, and a few extra books for the courses. It was this old wooden cabinet with a top-sliding door. Basically, he just snapped the key in, no idea what he was hoping to accomplish. But, when the teacher arrived and saw it, she just shrugged, tried to pull it out a few times. Probably realizing it was stuck, hopeless to remove, she just punched through the door, breaking the lock free from the door itself. Then she just slid the door back up and acted like nothing as she distributed papers for our exam. Anyway...I kinda wish I had known this trick as a kid, cause I would have loved to show off my skillz to that specific teacher.
You would probably have the staff blaming you for the attack in the first place, the attacker blaming you for messing with his plans,and later on the police knocking when talk of "that kid with the pockpicking skills"goes round the gossip circles and the local police decide to look again at the unsolved burgularies.
Wow! You are truly a master of your craft. I wish I could be as skilled as you someday. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. They're awesome. 👍🏼

Back in 7th grade when we didn't particularly feel like having a certain class, we'd find a couple of small sticks, like from leaf stems, and put them inside the lock of the classroom where we would have said class. When the teacher came up to unlock the door, the key would smush the little sticks and it would jam up the whole thing, making it quite impossible to open the classroom. They would either have to remove the smushed bits of sticks one by one or bring a lock cutter.
Nice. We did something similar to a kid we wanted to torment in HS. Our lockers had these sliding tracks in the door that engaged hooks on the frame to lock them. We took the eraser end of a pencil and broke it just right and stuck it in the top of the track and slammed the door. It took the janitors a solid day to get the thing open and they pretty much destroyed the door in the process. The kid had to get loaner books for the day from his teachers. Good times.
@@cjhickspe1399 That's amazing. I got another funny one. Again, somewhere around 7th to 9th grade, one of my classes was Metal Works. We learned welding mostly ("learned", because when you give a bunch of 13 year olds some metal working machinery they tend to just fuck around with it), and other things like metal shaping, with hammers and buffers and what not. So we had these huge metal tables in the workshop, and someone found out that if you placed some sort of fabric on the edge of the table and slammed it with a hammer, the fabric would cut completely clean, like a pair of scissors. So the next logical step was to take someone's backpack while they were busy welding something, tighten the straps as far as they would go, place the excess strap on the edge of the table and slam it with a hammer. Two hits and it would cut it off completely. So now when the poor sap was done for the day, he'd put on his backpack and go "Oh, that's strange, it's too tight", then try and loosen the straps. Since there was no more strap, the backpack would fall off and be rendered just a pack, as yoy'd be unable to hang in on your back. I thought this one was fucking hilarious because of the sheer inconvenience this caused and the ingenuity of hammer+table. Kids would carry their metal pieces in their backpacks, plus all their regular books and notebooks, and it would be a huge hassle without being able to just hang it on.

I went to a boarding school. My uncle was the maintenance director and had just finished rekeying the whole administration building where classes were held. One of my classmates decided to pull a prank and left the dorm in the middle of the night and went to the administration building and super glued all of the key holes on the exterior doors. I think superglue is more effective than the Killer Key. My poor uncle had to drill every core out and redo the locks. Needless to say, classes were delayed that morning, which I believe was the whole intent of this “joke”.
@@B3Band I do not think that word means what you think it means. I was a student, not a person in power or influence that was favoring a family member for a job. He was already employed as the maintenance director and he was just doing his job. So how is that nepotism?

"..if I were to make one of these.. it would look something like this.." 😂 Subtle brag, LPL. Reminded me of the scene: "that's not a knife, THIS is a knife" in Crocodile Dundee.
Great idea. Or a gentle taper - push it hard into the lock, doesn't actually matter if it bottoms out as long as it gets stuck behind at least one pin.
Back in the mid 80’s I invented one of these keys, by pure accident. I was guessing at key depth trying to make my own set of manufacture tryout key ring. I managed very easily to get the blank stuck in the cylinder plug and shell. The only thing that saved my stupidity of the day, was I had the complete cylinder loose and clamped in a Bench Vice. I used an awl and small screwdriver and pried open the housing shell to release the driver pins and springs. After this I used a cylinder plug holder, and cut all my spacing, brushed the blank down, then loaded the cylinder plug to try my depth set. I wasn’t trying to make a cylinder blocker, but I did. Who knew that it could be marketed. I guess I should have patented it. My manager called me one night and said he needed to secure a exterior door. I asked him if he had a non working key on his ring (other than his GGM) I told him to break a key off inside the mortise cylinder, and I’d deal with it in the morning. It was a quick fix for the middle of the night, saved me from having to come in.
Quickset has a lock opener that pops out the rose with this same key. It has a key release that pushes up on the pins to slide out the key. I have two of these kits but they're not much useful anymore as Quickset has begun making their locks with plastic parts that bend or break when popping out the rose. I mainly use them on the older locks to rekey them.
There used to be a certain Kwikset keyed knobset where the lock mechanism plate was held into the knob by a pair of clips. I made a key just like that and used it to pull the lock mechanism out. It was the fastest way to defeat that lock. Though, what with their plastic housing, you could usually just rake once to pick them. Yanking out the core was only just a little bit faster. I ground down a key blank to be thin enough to slide in next to my grabber to extract it.

I doubt that current technology of lock and keys will move forward just for the sake of it. Mechanical keys are the best bang for the buck, as electric locks add complexity and costs while reducing reliability. Also, people like traditions; LED bulbs conquered the market only when they could do without an heatsink, and therefore be shaped like a traditional light bulb. Many cars still have ignition keys just because people like having a physical key...
@@rayoflight62 Half of what you said is untrue lol. Maglocks are used in places where they are needed. You can't keep using keys on an office door. Imagine a large open space office, like the engineering dept of a factory, where you have 50 people working every day. That's 50 entries, 50 leavers, 100-something just for people pissing and breakfast and lunch are not even in it. That's getting close to 500 uses a day, 2500 per week and in the 10 years that lock has been used, it has seen 1,500,000 uses. Show me a lock cylinder that can deal with that and show the same sort of quality after that much use. After that, fire code. Maglocks are normally on and drop the magnet if the power fails. You cannot lock people in. Yes I know you will come at me with the bloody crashbar doors but those are shit and belong on fire exits only.

"But please remember these two things: 1) who you're dealing with 2) thing number one In any case I'm the lock picking lawyer, and thanks for joining me today.."
I remember having this kind of key deployed against a store that a family member owned. They used the back entrance or I think the neighboring store's shared rooftop access (I heard this secondhand from an aunt and a cousin later clarifying it was done to the front and backdoor). Either way they got inside and popped the door off the hinges and used three people they angled the door with the keyway facing the ground and shook the door up and a down while they tapped the back side of the door near the knob with a rubber mallet - the bit of the killer key that was in the lock came out after a little bit of work.
Another suggestion I might make is, instead of giving it a key like handle attach the blade perpendicular to a smooth dome, preferably one that sits flush against the lock. It would make access much more difficult, especially if it can also be welded to the lock
Or just carry super glue which is has many more uses than a specialized lock plug. The only real purpose of the key design is stealth. It blends in with the other keys you carry so it has to look like a regular key.
@@Poldovico @ACGiantDad Haha yeah if you go through the trouble of having a custom made key to disable a specific lock and weld it on there too then you might as well just weld the whole thing shut lmao
@@toolbaggers Also would be a lot easier to do covertly, for example preventing someone from securely locking the deadbolt on a door by doing this late in the evening, knowing they won't have a locksmith out until morning. Quick and natural looking. Nobody will think twice if they see someone inserting a key into a lock, whereas none of these other methods mentioned, such as glue, epoxy, welding, etc. could be pulled off smoothly and instantly like that, still looking natural. This is a disabling device obviously intended for preventing use of a lock, which can be used to either forcibly keep it locked OR unlocked. edit:typo correction
Manufacturer: *This killer key disables your door lock permanently by lodging the key inside! You gotta drill through the lock to unlodge it!* LPL: _Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand I took that personally!_
It always amazes me (having been a lock and vault service tech with Diebold) how simple the methods tend to be when defeating things like this. What's the hardest lock you've ever encountered?
I've been watching this channel for so long, that at this point I am 100% sure LPL will eventually unlock the secret of life, the universe, and everything
There's a couple edge cases I can think of off the top of my head: - Having one or more copies of a key lost or stolen to a lock or door that is protecting something more valuable than the lock, and there's either limited time to secure the item or a general lack of availability of resources to replace the lock itself (this would apply in particularly poor or isolated areas) - If you're in a tough neighborhood, it's another layer of deterrence for would-be intruders to locked up property. In particular, this could be useful for unrented apartments, foreclosed homes, etc. Obviously it doesn't make it *impossible* to enter, but it would make it more difficult and thus, necessarily, weed out some of the less enthusiastic trespassers :) The other cases I can think of are all either aggressive or malicious in nature.
For quickly locking down / controlling situations. Military and police use this to deny access. While there is a bypass, the tool is unlikely to be carried making it an effective solution.

@@darkest_eclipse8271 The best defensive measure is an armed guard.
Passive measures only stop the unprepared and unskilled in their tracks; they only _slow down_ a prepared and skilled attacker, and in this case, it only slows them down by about five seconds.

Then there's a chance of the attacker stopping to have a laugh before just kicking in the door frame
I'd have a second door behind it with a sign "I said no!"

Seems like something to use in conjunction with a nice lock as an additional counter-picking measure. Maybe not so much against the equipped but even so. Also a potential tampering indicator if the key is easily broken from someone mistakenly trying to open the lock with it. I assure you, I'm definitely not taking notes about killer keys down as a potential strategy against my enemies. Thank you for the wonderful advice, comrade! You are truly doing God's work!
That would be pretty dumb.
The primary used to these keys is to stick in the door of somebody you don't like.
You use these after a disagreeable tenant is kicked out by the sheriff but before the lock smith comes.
A hardened version with a cylinder shaped head that would block the entry, instead of the stamped key shape, and this really could kill a lock
That definitely would be harder to defeat, but I think you could still do it without destroying the lock. Take a rotary tool with a cutting disk, slice the plate away until you can access the keyhole, and then do as the video here shows.
It could still be quite easily beaten I think, unless you also don’t want to damage the key. You would just need to cut or break off the cylinder
Best way to kill a lock would be to melt it until it's just a ball of metal.
Better version would have a sideways M shape and a flatten end so you could hit it with a hammer and break the pins

When I was in middle school, one of my classmates used a homemade "killer key" to disable our teacher's cabinet. It contained her school supplies and stuff she could hand over to the kids that needed a pen, paper, or whatnot, and a few extra books for the courses. It was this old wooden cabinet with a top-sliding door.
Basically, he just snapped the key in, no idea what he was hoping to accomplish. But, when the teacher arrived and saw it, she just shrugged, tried to pull it out a few times. Probably realizing it was stuck, hopeless to remove, she just punched through the door, breaking the lock free from the door itself. Then she just slid the door back up and acted like nothing as she distributed papers for our exam.
Anyway...I kinda wish I had known this trick as a kid, cause I would have loved to show off my skillz to that specific teacher.
She's a chad
Did she teach boxing when she wasn't in the classroom?
Punched THROUGH the door? damn okay jeez, I'll do my homework

Back in 7th grade when we didn't particularly feel like having a certain class, we'd find a couple of small sticks, like from leaf stems, and put them inside the lock of the classroom where we would have said class. When the teacher came up to unlock the door, the key would smush the little sticks and it would jam up the whole thing, making it quite impossible to open the classroom. They would either have to remove the smushed bits of sticks one by one or bring a lock cutter.
This type of terrifying ingenuity is why I decided to teach HS and college not middle 😄

@@spyczech In H.S., they just bring in a gun and start shooting. No thank you....
Nice. We did something similar to a kid we wanted to torment in HS. Our lockers had these sliding tracks in the door that engaged hooks on the frame to lock them. We took the eraser end of a pencil and broke it just right and stuck it in the top of the track and slammed the door. It took the janitors a solid day to get the thing open and they pretty much destroyed the door in the process. The kid had to get loaner books for the day from his teachers. Good times.
@@cjhickspe1399 That's amazing. I got another funny one.
Again, somewhere around 7th to 9th grade, one of my classes was Metal Works. We learned welding mostly ("learned", because when you give a bunch of 13 year olds some metal working machinery they tend to just fuck around with it), and other things like metal shaping, with hammers and buffers and what not. So we had these huge metal tables in the workshop, and someone found out that if you placed some sort of fabric on the edge of the table and slammed it with a hammer, the fabric would cut completely clean, like a pair of scissors. So the next logical step was to take someone's backpack while they were busy welding something, tighten the straps as far as they would go, place the excess strap on the edge of the table and slam it with a hammer. Two hits and it would cut it off completely.
So now when the poor sap was done for the day, he'd put on his backpack and go "Oh, that's strange, it's too tight", then try and loosen the straps. Since there was no more strap, the backpack would fall off and be rendered just a pack, as yoy'd be unable to hang in on your back.
I thought this one was fucking hilarious because of the sheer inconvenience this caused and the ingenuity of hammer+table. Kids would carry their metal pieces in their backpacks, plus all their regular books and notebooks, and it would be a huge hassle without being able to just hang it on.

Yeah, you’d need to dremel off the flair to remove it then.
Great idea. Or a gentle taper - push it hard into the lock, doesn't actually matter if it bottoms out as long as it gets stuck behind at least one pin.

Back in the mid 80’s I invented one of these keys, by pure accident. I was guessing at key depth trying to make my own set of manufacture tryout key ring. I managed very easily to get the blank stuck in the cylinder plug and shell. The only thing that saved my stupidity of the day, was I had the complete cylinder loose and clamped in a Bench Vice. I used an awl and small screwdriver and pried open the housing shell to release the driver pins and springs. After this I used a cylinder plug holder, and cut all my spacing, brushed the blank down, then loaded the cylinder plug to try my depth set. I wasn’t trying to make a cylinder blocker, but I did. Who knew that it could be marketed. I guess I should have patented it. My manager called me one night and said he needed to secure a exterior door. I asked him if he had a non working key on his ring (other than his GGM) I told him to break a key off inside the mortise cylinder, and I’d deal with it in the morning. It was a quick fix for the middle of the night, saved me from having to come in.

I cam here expecting this, thank you sir
Quickset has a lock opener that pops out the rose with this same key. It has a key release that pushes up on the pins to slide out the key. I have two of these kits but they're not much useful anymore as Quickset has begun making their locks with plastic parts that bend or break when popping out the rose. I mainly use them on the older locks to rekey them.

CLASSIC ! ! ! LOL
There used to be a certain Kwikset keyed knobset where the lock mechanism plate was held into the knob by a pair of clips. I made a key just like that and used it to pull the lock mechanism out. It was the fastest way to defeat that lock. Though, what with their plastic housing, you could usually just rake once to pick them. Yanking out the core was only just a little bit faster. I ground down a key blank to be thin enough to slide in next to my grabber to extract it.
I am proud that I quickly figured out that "piece of redbull can" would be sufficient to lift pins and free the key.
Same thought here's. Don't need the dimple. Just lift the pins & pull both out.
@@EdSileo you'll need the dimple if the head of the key was snapped off
@@justinl9677 not really, the snap point leaves a bit of the keyshaft anyway, so a decent set of pliers would do it,
Does that work with every lock?
I thought that the tolerances between the lock and key would be to tight.
@@baxter22071990 thats why lpl showed one that had less room for pliers to grab - the barb pulls out a lock killer with or without anything external to grab
I only just now realized that part of lockpickers' fascination is just a reverse-engineering puzzle that you guys do in your brain. Always love your videos and your reverse-engineered solution to this gimmick just made me stop in awe and smile. Kudos!
Congratulations on figuring that out. :)
P.s. Not all people who pick locks do it because they want to steal your goods... just as a book in Elder Scroll's V: Skyrim explains. If you read it, you'll know what I'm talking about.

he's already done a video on mag locks actually ... they are truly bad ... he even setup a better version and still defeated it in seconds
I doubt that current technology of lock and keys will move forward just for the sake of it.
Mechanical keys are the best bang for the buck, as electric locks add complexity and costs while reducing reliability.
Also, people like traditions; LED bulbs conquered the market only when they could do without an heatsink, and therefore be shaped like a traditional light bulb.
Many cars still have ignition keys just because people like having a physical key...

@@rayoflight62 Half of what you said is untrue lol.
Maglocks are used in places where they are needed. You can't keep using keys on an office door. Imagine a large open space office, like the engineering dept of a factory, where you have 50 people working every day. That's 50 entries, 50 leavers, 100-something just for people pissing and breakfast and lunch are not even in it. That's getting close to 500 uses a day, 2500 per week and in the 10 years that lock has been used, it has seen 1,500,000 uses. Show me a lock cylinder that can deal with that and show the same sort of quality after that much use. After that, fire code. Maglocks are normally on and drop the magnet if the power fails. You cannot lock people in. Yes I know you will come at me with the bloody crashbar doors but those are shit and belong on fire exits only.

This was condensed education! I'd never heard of a killer key before, and in two minutes I learned what they were, why they work, and how to defeat them!
Cue morons saying that they would be astrophysicists if school was just like this.
i still dont get it tho
The Killer key: Oh, I... thought you were dead...
The lock: My death was...*greatly* exaggerated.

I remember having this kind of key deployed against a store that a family member owned. They used the back entrance or I think the neighboring store's shared rooftop access (I heard this secondhand from an aunt and a cousin later clarifying it was done to the front and backdoor). Either way they got inside and popped the door off the hinges and used three people they angled the door with the keyway facing the ground and shook the door up and a down while they tapped the back side of the door near the knob with a rubber mallet - the bit of the killer key that was in the lock came out after a little bit of work.
LPL: So these "killer keys" can be pretty useful, but it's important to remember, I'm in your walls.
Another suggestion I might make is, instead of giving it a key like handle attach the blade perpendicular to a smooth dome, preferably one that sits flush against the lock. It would make access much more difficult, especially if it can also be welded to the lock
Or just carry super glue which is has many more uses than a specialized lock plug. The only real purpose of the key design is stealth. It blends in with the other keys you carry so it has to look like a regular key.
Why not just inject epoxy into the lock? Can't open a gummed up lock.
If you're going to weld, just weld some tin into the keyway :P
@@Poldovico @ACGiantDad Haha yeah if you go through the trouble of having a custom made key to disable a specific lock and weld it on there too then you might as well just weld the whole thing shut lmao
@@toolbaggers Also would be a lot easier to do covertly, for example preventing someone from securely locking the deadbolt on a door by doing this late in the evening, knowing they won't have a locksmith out until morning. Quick and natural looking.
Nobody will think twice if they see someone inserting a key into a lock, whereas none of these other methods mentioned, such as glue, epoxy, welding, etc. could be pulled off smoothly and instantly like that, still looking natural.
This is a disabling device obviously intended for preventing use of a lock, which can be used to either forcibly keep it locked OR unlocked.

LPL 1:51 "these killer keys can be pretty useful"
Everyone in comments: "what use is this!?!?"
There's a couple edge cases I can think of off the top of my head:
- Having one or more copies of a key lost or stolen to a lock or door that is protecting something more valuable than the lock, and there's either limited time to secure the item or a general lack of availability of resources to replace the lock itself (this would apply in particularly poor or isolated areas)
- If you're in a tough neighborhood, it's another layer of deterrence for would-be intruders to locked up property. In particular, this could be useful for unrented apartments, foreclosed homes, etc. Obviously it doesn't make it *impossible* to enter, but it would make it more difficult and thus, necessarily, weed out some of the less enthusiastic trespassers :)
The other cases I can think of are all either aggressive or malicious in nature.
To illegally lock out tenants with the plausible deniability that comes from not hiring a locksmith to change the locks.
