    I feel that the Master Lock rating system is just a review from a professional thief. "10/10 lock, very easy to pick and since it's beefy it's often used to secure valuables."

  • @McHammered403
    @McHammered403 3 ปีที่แล้ว +939

    I think Master lock's rating system is more based around how hard a lock would be to smash without regard to picking. They figure most people can't pick locks, so they're considering how resistant their locks are against bolt cutters, hammers, and other forms of brute destruction/entry. They probably think it's great that their locks are easy for pros to open: The pros aren't likely to be thieves, and people lose their keys all the time.

      The thing is, I can rake open a masterlock In like 3 seconds and I've had less than 5 minutes of lockpicking experience. It's really impossible to overstate how vulnerable these things are. when he says "low skilled raking attack" he really means "a trained monkey could open this lock." If the attacker has any lockpicking tools whatsoever, and a lockpicking skill better than lower primates, they win.

    • @hamizannaruto

      You are insulting the thieves cartel by comparing to Masterlock's decision makers.
      An influential thieves cartel itself has skilled thieves for picking the locks.
      Therefore they would make the locks pretty hard to pick open so that only their own thieves can pick them.
      Hence this would make sure that the valuable stuff is "reserved" for their own thieves to steal instead of being stolen by some random rogue thief.

    Couple weeks ago, I realized that I'd lost the key to the Master disc-type lock on my storage unit. I am definitely a novice lock picker (and also a lawyer).
    So I showed up to my storage unit with my pick set, and a Dremel. After about ten minutes of trying unsuccessfully to pick the lock (I could feel some pins catch, and hear them drop when I released tension, but couldn't get it to open), I gave up and ground through the shackle with a cutting wheel on the Dremel (It was night-time, and the lot has 24-hour access, but the fact that ten minutes of sparks flying into the night air drew zero notice was not encouraging). I replaced it with a newer, beefier, boron-shackle Master disc lock.
    The newer lock came in a 2-pack, and a few days later I was bored in my car, and decided to see if I could pick that one.
    Open in... 30 seconds? Probably a little less. And as I said, I'm definitely a novice (I learned the theory behind lock picking 30 years ago, but have only actually done it a handful of times)..
    So I figured maybe I had trouble with the older lock because of the awkward angle while it was hanging on the door, so I tried it again (the mechanism is intact, even with half the shackle gone). Nada. It still won't open, and I've tried half-a dozen times now.
    So...
    Old Master disc lock: impenetrable to novice lockpicking, shackle cuts like warmed cheese.
    New Master disc lock: Opens faster than you trying to get the passenger door open so your buddy doesn't puke in your car, shackle would need at least 30 minutes, and probably three cutting disks to get through.
    Which is to say, everything LPL says here.

      Most bicycles though it’s true the core is rarely attempted as it’s so easy to break the cables or chains with any metal bar or pocket wire cutters, if it’s even locked at all. Or you’ll see missing wheels because they didn’t even put the lock through the wheels only the frame and that’s half the bike stolen right there.
      After a few bicycles stolen in college I started upping the “it’s not worth it” factor and stumbled across LPL looking for reviews on budget locks and was horrified (one I was looking at looked decent but could be instantly shimmed by a soda can or anything else flat). And now I watch almost every video he puts out and realized how much of an illusion of security everything is (much like Windows operating systems, it’s like locking the front door but not having even walls so you could just walk around the locked door...), pretty amazing it’s stuff like this people trust and rely on.

    This video was actually super informative ! I was looking for a lock to buy to practice on security pins (all I have are super cheap old bike locks and wafer locks) and I happend to have stumbled upon the "Kiss" lock while shopping for a very low price. Had a bit of an explaining to do to why I would pick this lock to practice instead of the beefier ones

Where the competitors are lame (i.e., USA) MasterLock products are slightly lamer, that is, $hitty. Where the competitors produce realy good locks, MasterLock products are less bad than in the USA, but still bad by comparison with the competitors.

But the store stocks everything from every category so they only stock what is most popular (not neccesarily what is best) in each category to optimise dollars per square foot of shelf space. The products self-trend towards lowest-common-denominator or highest advertising budget.

    Where as the beefy one would be used to deter actual criminals, the kiss sealed one would most likely be used by young teens to keep there siblings going through there stuff. The siblings are more likely to try and pick a lock then just bust it over. From personal experience, you don't want to leave evidence. If you were stripping out a shed, you might as well bust the lock open two.

    I personally think they chose the “pick resistance” scale on the side for the factor that it’s a smaller lock, sure, smaller locks with less room are harder to pick but it doesn’t stop anyone who has a smaller size tension tool. To me I use a garden lock, since a 5 key lock pick takes longer than 1, essentially every lock out there can be picked so I want to use the simple garden lock just so I can have a huge chance to stop the intruder from picking any further.

      Bigger pickups are more useful than smaller pickups or cars. As is the case with the big lock as many more people just use vice-grips, firearm, hammer, etc., to snap the 'challenging' locks, than there are actual lock picking thieves. Vice-grips make the least noise in the twist.
      This is the US though, if you're good at picking a lock, you make more money as a locksmith than a thief.
