Mazda has since moved away from external locks, as have many manufacturers. Now the only trunk access is via the key fob button or the cabin trunk lever.

We have a 2-year-old Mazda, and it doesn't have a rear lock (we have a "hatch" in the rear, as opposed to a proper trunk lid). As I understand, the most basic model Mazdas still are "key" operated for doors, trunk/hatches--however, you will rarely see these models at car dealers (too modest a profit margin). If you move "up" at least one trim level, you'll get the more common battery-powered key fobs, and electronic locks. However, the entry doors (driver and front passenger) still have locksets, just in case your key fob battery is discharged (there is a temporary key holstered in the fob). More than you wanted to know, I'm sure...

Hi Harry, Interesting to see you picking some car locks - you sure like trying different locking systems! If you can get hold of some wafer locks from German cars, you'll find the tops of the wafers are serrated on both sides. The wafer chambers are also grooved to lock up the wafers under tension. Tricky to pick, but because the wafers lock up under tension, it actually helps impressioning. Regards, Brian.

Yeah you can open the second gen CR-X cars with a butter knife (and any other models using the same locks). You can slide the knife down between the window and the outer door panel straight down to open the door when locked. It was almost faster using a butter knife to get into my car than the actual key. 90s Hondas seem to of had a very limited number of keying options. Add in the wear and tear of +20 years of operation and you will find keys work that shouldn't in them. Sometimes you have to do a little jiggling to get it to work though.
Yup I had 4 92-95 civics and some keys did open other Civic doors but they would not start the other car. Also had a 97 suburban the key opened and started a 99 Yukon.
@@Ghorda9 in my bmw i have only one key, and i cant open passanger door with it (i cant turn key), also if your car battery is dead you can only open passanger door with key (going reverse direction, but i cant turn the key :D )
I can unlock cars without the key at my job, but always for someone who locked the keys in the car. I don't mess with the lock itself; I just use the door and the physical mechanisms in the cabin. For example, I'll make a gap between the door and the body using my tools, and then stick a bent metal rod with a 90° bend at the end through the gap to push the unlock button, move the lock to the unlocked position, or sometimes pull the door handle. Oddly, a lot of cars open their doors when locked if both the interior and exterior handles are pulled at the same time.
My family and I got locked out of the car in the middle of nowhere on a mountain trail. It was the first time I'd ever picked an automotive lock. Took me about 40 minutes (20 to pick it in the wrong direction and 20 to pick it in the right direction). Here you are doing it in a couple minutes. Wanna come on our next hike?
I was just wondering what that tension tool was for in my set last night. Couldn't find anything when I googled it. All of a sudden this video pops up in my recommended and answers my question exactly. If you end up seeing this somehow great videos. Keep up the good work
I used to work in a junkyard, occasionally I've had to get into trunks without a key. There's not always a kidnap handle. Like on that, I think it was a 91 Legend, that was also full of wasps. Yay.
I once picked my old Mazda 323 with other car keys. Left keys inside, co-worked had mazda but different model, asked him if I could try if I could open the doors with her keys. It was a success.
You can often rake these double-sided wafers. You get double-sided rakes or you can just use a city rake and spin it upside-down for the other side. Also, overlifting is a very popular technique for these locks too. There are a few cars here that disable the alarm when you pick the lock, it is a big security fail.
+huxleypig69 I tried raking this one... no luck, but I'm not very experienced with these locks yet so that might be the problem. I would always set every wafer except for one or two. As for over lifting, I'll give it a shot.
LockPickingLawyer with SPP skills looks like yours you don't need other tools. if you are interested in other picks that work well check out (if you don't already have some) automobile Rocker Picks.
LOST FOUND You have gotten on well with rocker picks? I think they suck; if the shape of the key is not like the rocker it won't open. If you want super-awesome tools then go no further then the Lishi and the Turbodecoder.
huxleypig69 Yeah I have been successful with the Rockers. If they don't work as Rockers I use them as rakes and I have yet to be unsuccessful. I can easily say I have picked thousands of cars. When I purchased my Rockers, Lishi, Turbodecoder and others wasn't around. I agree with the Lishi or the Tubodecoder being great and efficient but those products cost alot more. In my opinion they are aimed for professionals that can recoupe the cost, like making keys for the vehicle and getting paid. Also I was trying to suggest another hand pick for the Lawyer to try on the auto locks. The Lishi, Turbodecoder and others for me take the "fun"(guess work) out of it.
Lol, yeah, they certainly take a lot of the guesswork away, especially the Turbodecoder (when new). Lishi's can be picked up quite cheaply now, especially the older generations of tool. I was amazed at just how many autos use double sided wafers in the US still.
Works on Saab 99 at least. "Stole" my own car once back in the 90's when I had lost my car keys at some market. A large screwdriver with square shaft, a hammer to drive it into the lock, and a wrench to turn the screwdriver+lock. Both door and ignition were defeated easily.
Didnt pop the lock properly if you can pop it the right way it wont break but some force on them yeah most definitely gunna break lol alot dont do it anymore but anything from under 2000 you can pop and work your way in with a wire hanger lmfao .
I once had an Nissan Almera SRI that I was doing a car swap with a guy for a Nissan 100NX. Whilst he was on his way I accidentally locked my only key in the Almera. Anyways I went and got a pair of scissors and used them to pick the door lock and get back in the car. I was quite pleased to be getting rid of it after I realized how easy it was to break into.
A long time ago a classmate had to borrow my car. He called 30 miutes later, cause after a quick stop at his home it would'nt start after running just fine. The key wouldn't release the steering wheel-lock. long story short: It turns out he had taking the school janitors car of the same brand, model and colour! We had some explaining to do that day... :D
I used to repo cars . most of the newer cars would still sound the alarm with the key. Like Chevy if you double click the key fob . Use the key to open it will sound the alarm. If you single click the fob it won't.
Been trying to unlock the wifes trunk for 15 yrs. You did this one in minutes. I've tried soft tension, slip affect, drop method, worked the top of one, clicked two, licked three, disabled four, counter rotation on five. Never got in..
I had all 3 of my vehicles in my driveway picked and alarm disarmed before. They opened every compartment and took any lose cash or change. 2007 Chevy solverado 1500, 2015 Subaru Outback, and my 2002 subaru legacy. My neighbors was also picked and disarmed. He had a newer Mitsubishi. Funny enough it was shortly after i had a locksmith unlock my 02. Locked the keys in the car with no spare. No evidence to go on though.
I have 2 keys specifically for the purpose of opening GM stuff and they will do 98-11 or so. Handy little boogers have made me a lot of money over the years on unlocks.
Are you sure they were picked. If all of the cars in question had key-less entry then a professional doesn't need to pick it. No so similarly my step mothers 2008 Escape was stolen, no forced entry, physical keying stayed the same but they programmed new transponders to the vehicle so existing keys would not work (there is a number of keys limit). They had to precut the key ahead of time but these guys are walking around with a PATS programmer lol. Vehicle was recovered being driven by the thief with the original plates still on it. I worked for Ford at the time and it was a funny eye opener.
Do one on the fords door locked they used from the 60 - mid 90s. My 74 84 and 88 fords all had the same style key and they look extremely simple. Just was kinda curious how simple they really are to pick by a pro. 😂😂
When I was a kid, 2 people at my church both drive a similar age Ford wagon in the same colour. We were joking one day about how they had parked side by side, and how funny it would be if the keys were the same and they accidentally swapped cars..... So they tried the opposite keys. Surprisingly, one car unlocked with the other cars keys, and the ignition switch even turned (they didn't start it, but did switch it to the ON position). The other car didn't unlock or anything. Key didn't turn in any of the locks. The 2 different keys were obviously different, so it must have been a quirk of the exact top and bottom combinations and/or the way they'd worn down.
Only so many wafer combinations are possible, add wear, slop in the warding and error in multi-generation key copying and you start to get that type over overlap.
I don't know about picking them, but 80-90's Fords were trivial at best to bypass with a small long flathead or just by removing the antenna and using it.
As someone who grew up wrong, but set his shit straight I can tell you Mazdas have one of most notoriously easy to open locks.. Hell 90s models you can open even with a Swiss knife blade..
Been trying to get into a car I locked myself out of by accident today and I'm just amazed at how simple he makes it look. I didn't get any clicks... I have no idea what I'm doing wrong... or right.
Usually along side that sort of lock, there’s a sensor in the trunk that picks up the signal that the key emits. If that signal isn’t present when the core turns, the car’s security sets off the alarm Note: I’m speaking in general automotive terms, I have no idea if the Mazda 6 complies to that
It depends on the year. This style of lock predates microchip keys, but still continued to be used in tandem with microchip Keys after. Also, most cars that have a mechanical and microchip key will only use the microchip when you try to start the car, not when opening doors or trunk.
On most VW cars the alarm is only set and deactivated via the remote RF key; unlocking the car with the alarm set with a cut key (or picking the lock) will make the alarm go off (you can then disable the alarm by putting the key in the ignition. Do Mazdas have the option of having an alarm but no remote fob? Seems like that would be the only reason to allow unlocking the car with a key to deactivate the alarm.
I don't know about Mazda, but I drove a 2003 Hyundai for a while and it had an interesting alarm. If you only lock the doors and close them, it would not arm the alarm. If you instead used the key fob to lock the car, it would arm the alarm, but using the key to unlock the door after that would not disarm the alarm. As a result, if you use the fob to lock the car, you had to use the key fob to unlock the car, or you would set off the alarm. My guess is that they put the sensors on the lock cylinders to prevent people from accidentally setting off their alarm all the time when they use the mechanical key to open the door. Hyundai went to the same method of having a sensor on the lock a few years later.
Back in the day, I used my MX-6 key on my mate's 323, opened the door, started the car, moved it to a different part of the car park, and then waited for him to realise his car was missing. That was a fun evening.
Two questions; How sensitive is the core movement sensor? and How much time from it first sensing movement does the system give you before sounding the alarm? I would hope that it's sensitive enough to detect partial movement during a picking scenario, and 20 seconds before it sounds the alarm and the central locking system using a torsion screw servo relocking the lock during you picking it. If you have the keys, 20 seconds is more than enough time for you to fiddle the key into a fussy lock and switch off the alarm before it sounds.
LockPickingLawyer there use to be this lock on the pool in my neighborhood which the key was a metal card. And there was a slot on top of the handle where you would push in and the lock would open. Have you ever seen locks like this.
I just looked to "car lock pick" and the first result was the same brand, model, year and trim and my car... But the jokes on you, my trunk lock is already broken.
Where can I find training locks like ,because Lock picking Is Curing my stress ,Specially the moment when the lock turns with you ,it's one of the most satisfying moments
@@TraceguyRune i took it as a hobby, even though i took my pro lock picking kit to the school and tried to Lock on the Girls in toilets and i did it also incase if anyone has a spare key he can't unlock it because of the lock posetion that is impossible to insert a key, anyway i teached that Cheater a lesson
The interesting thing about the Mazda system is, if it's deadlocked yeah it's great you can get into the boot/trunk but you won't be able to open the doors from the inside and picking a door lock will set the alarm off as once deadlocked the system will only disable the alarm if the key fob that dead locked it, unlocks it! Even using the physical correct key will set it off.
LockPickingLawyer, i dunno if Mazda has a different system, but in my experience those wires are not the alarm, are the ignition and electric circuits power on/off
True, but I have some motorcycles in the garage I'd like to try. No immobilizers on them and the reason I was looking for this particular video is that I am an instructor for a track day company, (teach people to ride sport bikes on the racetrack), and there is almost always a student that loads their bike on the trailer and forgets the key at home. It would be nice to have another option than removing the ignition lock, (which we have done in the past)
@Ivan Rusic unless you have the OG key to copy its pretty much impossible to bypass modern keys. The keys work essentially like credit cards and store a long code which is transmitted via rfid. It's way easier to reprogram the ecu at this point to remove the immobilizer completely. Also if you know how to do this you probably have better things to do than stealing cars...
You put out great videos, but thieves are still trying to drill into my 2000 punto... Trunk, Driver and passenger side attempted, don't know if they got in and closed the doors after them, but I feel they failed xD
I have seen in a Toyota, if the security system is armed, even opening the lock with the key will set off the alarm. Only way to disable it is to lock and unlock using they key 5 times within 10 seconds. That is the door lock though. Not the trunk.
Keep most thieves out? as far as I'm aware, most car locks can be just forced open with a screwdriver. You just need something to grip the screwdriver or one of those that has a hole thru the handle, so you can put another bar thru that and just turn it. It will obviously break the lock, but it opens the lock in like 5 seconds. I think that's why on most cars you now have the trunk on key or button / switch inside the car.
This is the LockPickingLawyer and the lock I have for you today is my prison cell door lock. The guards left just a second ago, so I should be out in no time.
Hello LPL, nice picking al allways, i was thinking about that switch, and i believe that is a purpose for picking not activate that switch, i belive alarm has own switch directly on trunk and if someone pick cylinder and don't activate switch, alarm will recognise opening trunk without using regulary key and run alert.. and about above decoding/ Lishi discussion: some car makers like opel, mazda... has interesting feature on some models and that is they put less no of pins/wafers on doors/trunk/others locks then (full no of wafers) in ignition, so if You make key from doorlock You are not able to unlock ignition and steal car, Your model key (on vid) has ten cuts(wafers in full conf) so if trunk lock has only nine of them, key decoded from that lock wouldn't help You for ignition...
It is possible that you are correct about the cylinder sensor, but I don't see how. The only thing the sensor measures is rotation angle of the core. How would it know if the lock is being picked? Notably, there is no room for a coil to read the smart key transponder (like there is on the ignition of this car). Also, VERY interesting about the number of wafers vis-à-vis the ignition. Thanks for the info.
..You're welcome, and about that sensor, i understand You that sensor react only when key is used, no if lock has been picked.. If reacts always when cyl is turned so that is it used different way i thout ...
The lock on my old Ford got opened once with a screwdriver and a hammer. At least they didn't bust the windows or steal something of worth.... yeah I had a fancy looking stereo cassette radio which they obviously didn't want. At least I got money from insurance for the broken lock and damaged door.

For example, I'll make a gap between the door and the body using my tools, and then stick a bent metal rod with a 90° bend at the end through the gap to push the unlock button, move the lock to the unlocked position, or sometimes pull the door handle. Oddly, a lot of cars open their doors when locked if both the interior and exterior handles are pulled at the same time.
My family and I got locked out of the car in the middle of nowhere on a mountain trail. It was the first time I'd ever picked an automotive lock. Took me about 40 minutes (20 to pick it in the wrong direction and 20 to pick it in the right direction). Here you are doing it in a couple minutes. Wanna come on our next hike?
My girl has been wanting a Mazda 6 but I didn't want to spend that kinda cash. Guess now I don't have to. Thanks bro!
I find myself following along now; "Click outta' one, Click outta' two
"
I was just wondering what that tension tool was for in my set last night. Couldn't find anything when I googled it. All of a sudden this video pops up in my recommended and answers my question exactly.
If you end up seeing this somehow great videos. Keep up the good work
I used to work in a junkyard, occasionally I've had to get into trunks without a key. There's not always a kidnap handle. Like on that, I think it was a 91 Legend, that was also full of wasps. Yay.
As always, comment section is more entertaining then any comedy i saw in my life XDDDDDDDDDD
The stink from the dead body in my trunk, usually deters anyone from breaking in.
This looks similar to the Dudley split wafer lock! Cool... didn't know that's how car locks were manufactured. Always thought that lock was awesome.
The solution is to use chipped keys (i.e Computer Chips), that way picking won't disable the alarm.
L.p. lawyer has more toys than Batman. Great how easy he makes this look. Another good video
Ty for single pin picking and not using a Lishi. Great video and quick as usual lol.
Those were very satisfying clicks.
I once picked my old Mazda 323 with other car keys. Left keys inside, co-worked had mazda but different model, asked him if I could try if I could open the doors with her keys. It was a success.
I like how it took you longer to open this lock than the ERA Max security lock haha.
I have a little cheap lock picking set. Now I finally know what that tool is for!
allways enjoy anything automotive thanks
4:10 pick spin. Takes practice but I think he's got it.
Me: Everything is there officer but the locks on my car
Officer: let's go boys we have a psychopath roaming free
You can often rake these double-sided wafers. You get double-sided rakes or you can just use a city rake and spin it upside-down for the other side. Also, overlifting is a very popular technique for these locks too. There are a few cars here that disable the alarm when you pick the lock, it is a big security fail.
+huxleypig69 I tried raking this one... no luck, but I'm not very experienced with these locks yet so that might be the problem. I would always set every wafer except for one or two. As for over lifting, I'll give it a shot.
LockPickingLawyer with SPP skills looks like yours you don't need other tools. if you are interested in other picks that work well check out (if you don't already have some) automobile Rocker Picks.
LOST FOUND You have gotten on well with rocker picks? I think they suck; if the shape of the key is not like the rocker it won't open. If you want super-awesome tools then go no further then the Lishi and the Turbodecoder.
huxleypig69 Yeah I have been successful with the Rockers. If they don't work as Rockers I use them as rakes and I have yet to be unsuccessful. I can easily say I have picked thousands of cars. When I purchased my Rockers, Lishi, Turbodecoder and others wasn't around. I agree with the Lishi or the Tubodecoder being great and efficient but those products cost alot more. In my opinion they are aimed for professionals that can recoupe the cost, like making keys for the vehicle and getting paid. Also I was trying to suggest another hand pick for the Lawyer to try on the auto locks. The Lishi, Turbodecoder and others for me take the "fun"(guess work) out of it.
Lol, yeah, they certainly take a lot of the guesswork away, especially the Turbodecoder (when new). Lishi's can be picked up quite cheaply now, especially the older generations of tool. I was amazed at just how many autos use double sided wafers in the US still.
you should test that old thing where these locks can be just smashed with a screwdriver and turned :P
Not this type.
I does not always work, on my 306, when i bought it, it had broken driver lock, looked like a failed attempt to me.
Works on Saab 99 at least.
"Stole" my own car once back in the 90's when I had lost my car keys at some market.
A large screwdriver with square shaft, a hammer to drive it into the lock, and a wrench to turn the screwdriver+lock.
Both door and ignition were defeated easily.
Didnt pop the lock properly if you can pop it the right way it wont break but some force on them yeah most definitely gunna break lol alot dont do it anymore but anything from under 2000 you can pop and work your way in with a wire hanger lmfao .
This is why you can't lend the LPL your car! 🤣
Another Great Video!
I once had an Nissan Almera SRI that I was doing a car swap with a guy for a Nissan 100NX. Whilst he was on his way I accidentally locked my only key in the Almera. Anyways I went and got a pair of scissors and used them to pick the door lock and get back in the car. I was quite pleased to be getting rid of it after I realized how easy it was to break into.
"Probably Enough" on the LPP scale is the rating every Lock company must be striving towards.
A long time ago a classmate had to borrow my car. He called 30 miutes later, cause after a quick stop at his home it would'nt start after running just fine. The key wouldn't release the steering wheel-lock.
long story short: It turns out he had taking the school janitors car of the same brand, model and colour! We had some explaining to do that day... :D
I used to repo cars . most of the newer cars would still sound the alarm with the key. Like Chevy if you double click the key fob . Use the key to open it will sound the alarm. If you single click the fob it won't.
This channel outta line and I love it
Been trying to unlock the wifes trunk for 15 yrs. You did this one in minutes. I've tried soft tension, slip affect, drop method, worked the top of one, clicked two, licked three, disabled four, counter rotation on five. Never got in..
@@Envinite I even re-keyed the cylinder with a bigger core.
@@Envinite lol
smooth & fast as usual :)
Thanks
You should really try picking an 2018 Honda Civic, I really like those cars
Abraham Colon I’m sure you do. Do you love them enough to steal one?
Dominic - maybe , maybe not
Abraham Colon don’t make a poor choice
Omar - no. It’s just fun and games
@@dominic5386 TBF, if I were him I'd kind of like to see that just to know how secure they make them before I buy one.
I had all 3 of my vehicles in my driveway picked and alarm disarmed before. They opened every compartment and took any lose cash or change.
2007 Chevy solverado 1500, 2015 Subaru Outback, and my 2002 subaru legacy. My neighbors was also picked and disarmed. He had a newer Mitsubishi. Funny enough it was shortly after i had a locksmith unlock my 02. Locked the keys in the car with no spare. No evidence to go on though.
I would be telling the police this info....
I have 2 keys specifically for the purpose of opening GM stuff and they will do 98-11 or so.
Handy little boogers have made me a lot of money over the years on unlocks.
Are you sure they were picked. If all of the cars in question had key-less entry then a professional doesn't need to pick it.
No so similarly my step mothers 2008 Escape was stolen, no forced entry, physical keying stayed the same but they programmed new transponders to the vehicle so existing keys would not work (there is a number of keys limit). They had to precut the key ahead of time but these guys are walking around with a PATS programmer lol. Vehicle was recovered being driven by the thief with the original plates still on it. I worked for Ford at the time and it was a funny eye opener.
Do one on the fords door locked they used from the 60 - mid 90s. My 74 84 and 88 fords all had the same style key and they look extremely simple. Just was kinda curious how simple they really are to pick by a pro. 😂😂
When I was a kid, 2 people at my church both drive a similar age Ford wagon in the same colour. We were joking one day about how they had parked side by side, and how funny it would be if the keys were the same and they accidentally swapped cars..... So they tried the opposite keys.
Surprisingly, one car unlocked with the other cars keys, and the ignition switch even turned (they didn't start it, but did switch it to the ON position).
The other car didn't unlock or anything. Key didn't turn in any of the locks. The 2 different keys were obviously different, so it must have been a quirk of the exact top and bottom combinations and/or the way they'd worn down.
Only so many wafer combinations are possible, add wear, slop in the warding and error in multi-generation key copying and you start to get that type over overlap.
I don't know about picking them, but 80-90's Fords were trivial at best to bypass with a small long flathead or just by removing the antenna and using it.
When I lived in Miami I'd had the local... wildlife... pick locks to get into my cars several times. Car locks get easier and easier as they age...
Great tutorial, now I can re-locate my neighbours Mazda 6 to the nearest lake next time he causes a ruckus.
As someone who grew up wrong, but set his shit straight I can tell you Mazdas have one of most notoriously easy to open locks.. Hell 90s models you can open even with a Swiss knife blade..
Those were some satisfying clicks
Been trying to get into a car I locked myself out of by accident today and I'm just amazed at how simple he makes it look. I didn't get any clicks... I have no idea what I'm doing wrong... or right.
Usually along side that sort of lock, there’s a sensor in the trunk that picks up the signal that the key emits. If that signal isn’t present when the core turns, the car’s security sets off the alarm
Note: I’m speaking in general automotive terms, I have no idea if the Mazda 6 complies to that
It depends on the year. This style of lock predates microchip keys, but still continued to be used in tandem with microchip Keys after.
Also, most cars that have a mechanical and microchip key will only use the microchip when you try to start the car, not when opening doors or trunk.
beeing a car mecanics I really enjoyed this one , please qive me more !
On most VW cars the alarm is only set and deactivated via the remote RF key; unlocking the car with the alarm set with a cut key (or picking the lock) will make the alarm go off (you can then disable the alarm by putting the key in the ignition. Do Mazdas have the option of having an alarm but no remote fob? Seems like that would be the only reason to allow unlocking the car with a key to deactivate the alarm.
The act of picking disables the alarm!!!!!
Did they intentionally give the burglars a gimme?
I don't know about Mazda, but I drove a 2003 Hyundai for a while and it had an interesting alarm. If you only lock the doors and close them, it would not arm the alarm. If you instead used the key fob to lock the car, it would arm the alarm, but using the key to unlock the door after that would not disarm the alarm. As a result, if you use the fob to lock the car, you had to use the key fob to unlock the car, or you would set off the alarm.
My guess is that they put the sensors on the lock cylinders to prevent people from accidentally setting off their alarm all the time when they use the mechanical key to open the door.
Hyundai went to the same method of having a sensor on the lock a few years later.
I would like to tell you that this is a good one.
Back in the day, I used my MX-6 key on my mate's 323, opened the door, started the car, moved it to a different part of the car park, and then waited for him to realise his car was missing. That was a fun evening.
It's a Mazda 6. It would take just as long for the trunk floor to rust out so you could reach in from below.
> "lock from a mazda6 sedan"
>Oh cool i have one of those
>"believe its from a 2008 model"
>...shit
I remember someone saying that locks that use double sided keys can't be picked. LMAO
hellcat1988 glad I’m not the only one 😅 I was told it was almost impossible but I’ve learned that’s never the case apparently
You hear a lot of things about locks and even more about other stuff!
Any lock can get picked, they can be open with a key, therefore they're vulnerable
Two questions; How sensitive is the core movement sensor? and How much time from it first sensing movement does the system give you before sounding the alarm? I would hope that it's sensitive enough to detect partial movement during a picking scenario, and 20 seconds before it sounds the alarm and the central locking system using a torsion screw servo relocking the lock during you picking it. If you have the keys, 20 seconds is more than enough time for you to fiddle the key into a fussy lock and switch off the alarm before it sounds.
Your channel should be the backdoor master.
My favorite lawyer ever! 🤣
LockPickingLawyer there use to be this lock on the pool in my neighborhood which the key was a metal card. And there was a slot on top of the handle where you would push in and the lock would open. Have you ever seen locks like this.
+Smuckers T sorry, I don't think that I've heard of that before.
Smuckers T sounds lone an old hotel style key
I tried picking my own car door once but that was long ago and at the time didn't realize these were wafer locks :D
VARY CLEARLY EXPLAINED .THANKS SO MUCH FOR VIDEO😎😎😎😎😎
+Larry Marrs Thanks.
I just looked to "car lock pick" and the first result was the same brand, model, year and trim and my car... But the jokes on you, my trunk lock is already broken.
Now I can go shopping for Mazda 6 Trunks.
Where can I find training locks like ,because Lock picking Is Curing my stress ,Specially the moment when the lock turns with you ,it's one of the most satisfying moments
Don't buy training locks, just use regular locks.
@@TraceguyRune i already did so
@@AntiLGBT_SuperExterminator The main thing is curing your stress. So whatever works, go for it. I just think "practice" locks will cost you more.
@@TraceguyRune i took it as a hobby, even though i took my pro lock picking kit to the school and tried to Lock on the Girls in toilets and i did it also incase if anyone has a spare key he can't unlock it because of the lock posetion that is impossible to insert a key, anyway i teached that Cheater a lesson
The interesting thing about the Mazda system is, if it's deadlocked yeah it's great you can get into the boot/trunk but you won't be able to open the doors from the inside and picking a door lock will set the alarm off as once deadlocked the system will only disable the alarm if the key fob that dead locked it, unlocks it! Even using the physical correct key will set it off.
@Carl Schmidt the alarm horn is inside the car for this reason
ALL OF VIDEOS ARE GREAT..
LockPickingLawyer, i dunno if Mazda has a different system, but in my experience those wires are not the alarm, are the ignition and electric circuits power on/off
Ignition in the trunk lock?
Good enough to keep good people honest but still won't keep thieves out.
I used a small scissor for nails when I lost the key for my Mazda 6. Worked fine :P
I haven't see you try open house door locks that have three way lock top middle where lock is and bottom. Interested to see
Am I going to be put on a list for watching these videos?
I’ve always wanted a Mazda
Would be very interested in more auto door and ignition picking
Ignition keys have immobilizer chips in them since the early 2000s so there is no point in picking the ignition
True, but I have some motorcycles in the garage I'd like to try. No immobilizers on them and the reason I was looking for this particular video is that I am an instructor for a track day company, (teach people to ride sport bikes on the racetrack), and there is almost always a student that loads their bike on the trailer and forgets the key at home. It would be nice to have another option than removing the ignition lock, (which we have done in the past)
@Ivan Rusic unless you have the OG key to copy its pretty much impossible to bypass modern keys. The keys work essentially like credit cards and store a long code which is transmitted via rfid. It's way easier to reprogram the ecu at this point to remove the immobilizer completely. Also if you know how to do this you probably have better things to do than stealing cars...
You put out great videos, but thieves are still trying to drill into my 2000 punto... Trunk, Driver and passenger side attempted, don't know if they got in and closed the doors after them, but I feel they failed xD
I have seen in a Toyota, if the security system is armed, even opening the lock with the key will set off the alarm. Only way to disable it is to lock and unlock using they key 5 times within 10 seconds. That is the door lock though. Not the trunk.
Keep most thieves out? as far as I'm aware, most car locks can be just forced open with a screwdriver. You just need something to grip the screwdriver or one of those that has a hole thru the handle, so you can put another bar thru that and just turn it. It will obviously break the lock, but it opens the lock in like 5 seconds. I think that's why on most cars you now have the trunk on key or button / switch inside the car.
This is the LockPickingLawyer and the lock I have for you today is my prison cell door lock. The guards left just a second ago, so I should be out in no time.
A lot of these automotive locks rake over pretty easy as well.
Amazing how I got a Mazda safety ad on this video.
Thank you im sure to try this out next time I see a Mazda 6
When you're locked out of your Mazda but then remember your picking kit is inside..
Hello LPL, nice picking al allways,
i was thinking about that switch, and i believe that is a purpose for picking not activate that switch, i belive alarm has own switch directly on trunk and if someone pick cylinder and don't activate switch, alarm will recognise opening trunk without using regulary key and run alert..
and about above decoding/ Lishi discussion: some car makers like opel, mazda...
has interesting feature on some models and that is they put less no of pins/wafers on doors/trunk/others locks then (full no of wafers) in ignition, so if You make key from doorlock You are not able to unlock ignition and steal car, Your model key (on vid) has ten cuts(wafers in full conf) so if trunk lock has only nine of them, key decoded from that lock wouldn't help You for ignition...
It is possible that you are correct about the cylinder sensor, but I don't see how. The only thing the sensor measures is rotation angle of the core. How would it know if the lock is being picked? Notably, there is no room for a coil to read the smart key transponder (like there is on the ignition of this car). Also, VERY interesting about the number of wafers vis-à-vis the ignition. Thanks for the info.
..You're welcome, and about that sensor, i understand You that sensor react only when key is used, no if lock has been picked..
If reacts always when cyl is turned so that is it used different way i thout ...
The lock on my old Ford got opened once with a screwdriver and a hammer. At least they didn't bust the windows or steal something of worth.... yeah I had a fancy looking stereo cassette radio which they obviously didn't want. At least I got money from insurance for the broken lock and damaged door.
At least you had to pick it. I'm pretty sure you can start Fords with a screwdriver.
Interesting lock - thanks for showing it to us.
:-)
Back when LPL used a Harbor Freight vice like mine. Hard to believe.
Very nice picking bud! Where can I find a tention tool like the one you used in this video? Keep on picking!
+Drew Estes thanks. I believe I got this tension tool from one of the Chinese websites that sell picking tools. It was so long ago, I don't remember.
