"Not too difficult to pick" *pulls out custom-made picking tool for these sort of rotating-disc locks* Truly a reminder that nothing is ever really safe behind a lock. The lock will only slow down a determined thief..
@@WAZXIII I have a lacking knowledge of lock-picking tools, so I can't really say much. Regardless, he *did* produce a tool that just looks wack. At least, to me, the uninitiated person.
Nice video on disks locks. Great to see it gutted. It would be wonderful if you could do cut away disk core showing your tool picking each disk. That would be very educational.
I dont know why I'm watching these videos, but now I really want to start learning how to lock pick just for hobby. Also, its pretty cool how much detail can be talked about for something so simple like locks. Who could have guessed locks were so interesting?
I was driving Lyft last night, and when my passengers and I passed beneath the I-405 Fremont bridge in NW Portland, OR, we saw a suspicious character hovering around the door of a large, white SUV. "That looks suspicious," I said. "Yeah," agreed the frontseat passenger. I turned right onto NW Thurman, but the road was closed 100 feet ahead. I backed up to NW 15th to try another road. The passenger peered into the right rearview mirror when I backed up. "Yep, he's breaking into it..." I thought of you, smiled, and drove on, chuckling.
That sticker is so shoddy! I won't be buying that lock any day soon but better than most Chinesiums.✌ I love Bill's new handiwork, do we get a cool tray too.😁🤞 Lol.
I'm new to the LockPickingLawyer and the videos are simple yet great. No crap, just straight to the point and fun! I never imagined a lock to be picked with a Lego figure lol. And plus I love the video organizing with the numbers. A couple comments here tell others to go to video number whatever which is so useful instead of wasting time looking for it. Nice work :)
While the new pinning tray is nice to try a change, I miss the original metal tray and the satisfying sounds it makes when parts are placed. The new tray material just sounds too flat.
A lock from the UK... makes you proud to be British! We seem to have quite a few disc detainer locks for things like bicycle and steering wheel locks and the like.
Next time please put a link to where to buy it,looks good for the price and maybe get into affiliated links with Amazon so you get a cut every time someone buys something with your link.
Just found this channel, always interested in lockpicking. I was wondering how safe my Titanker bike lock was and how easy it is to decode it. Maybe a good future video idea!
Love your video as always. I'm not sure if you've made a video on this already, but at what point does pick-proofing stop being economical for the manufacturer? i.e at what point does a lock become so hard to pick that any potential miscreant would simply cut/melt it?
... but will that tool fit under the plate steel outer body of the box that little lock is made to fit in? That lock is specifically for shipping containers / trailers with a steel lock box on the door. I checked the clearance on my container, and I am dubious. Still great job picking it.
This is interesting take on the DD principle; the key would suggest that there are more discs than there are. The last disc in the lock is a fixed 5 disc and it has a large space behind it that the 0 cut on the tip of the key goes in. I am guessing that this is for key retention as when rotated 90 degrees the 0 cut will be trapped behind the fixed 5 disc. And yet there is no actual 0 disc at the rear, it is driven from the front. So it would be possible to tension that fixed 5 disc, if you wanted.
I,d liked to have seen a close-up of those discs. I know what a false gate is ... but I'd like to see it explained in close-up detail. I'm still trying to pick the Esquire 440 Padlock. They were once mass-made not too far from where I live. (U.K.)
Would love to see you pick a lock like this but in a cutaway type setup. Help me understand what your feeling and saying when you pick locks like this.
Is there a combination padlock that you would recommend? I was thinking of getting the master locks but after watching you devastate them within seconds I lost interest quickly. Great videos by the way!
I just received my very first lock picking kit and picked my first lock today! Now I just need to pick another million or so locks and I'll be just as good as LPL :-)
Looking for a padlock for an outdoor set of chains (the chain link is fairly thick stuff; I can't cut through it with anything but an angle grinder) without breaking the bank. I want a lock that can't be bypassed or shimmed or raked. What am I looking at, and what's the price point going to be? I honestly have no idea what locks are considered "good" anymore after binge watching both you and Bosnian Bill.
You should do a video every 6 months on the best locks you recommend for the price. Have you ever found a lock you couldn't pick? I don't fancy watching hundreds of videos to find out.
@LockPickingLawyer is there a possibilty that you and bosnianbill offer your new discdetainer tool to Multipick too so that we in Europe can enjoy it more easily? That would be great! Greetings from Germany
Ok... so I just found this channel, SUPER IMPRESSED and I am now subscribed! BUT, after watching about 18 videos, is there any lock worth investing in? I now have zero faith in any locks in my house :/
Locks don't have to be perfectly strong, just strong enough to not be the weakest point of failure. On a house, burglars aren't likely to try picking when they can just break through a window, for instance. Most commercial door locks are good enough, and even a Masterlock is a visual deterrent on a toolbox, though there's nothing wrong with going up a step or two for your own peace of mind. That said, please don't give money to Masterlock or their subsidiaries, if only for a personal "vote with your wallet" reason from the locksport community.
Do these disc locks tension in the back? If you didnt have that awesome tool😊 what would you be using or does it have to be a dedicated disc lock pick?? Nice vid and picking, thanks👍
They make similar picking tools that are cheap (Chinese) but they have their limitations. Watch the first video from the pick build series and I think they discuss the issues with the Chinese picks
Is there a reason that all the disks need to be rotated clock wise first or can it be rotated the other way or does that not work? Forgive me I don’t have anylocks like this one yet. Also FYI love the channel!
Does anyone know if LPL has made any videos of him putting a lock back together after he's disassembled it? I think that might be interesting to see. Watching him work is like watching magic! LOL. Great videos!
@@lockpickinglawyer thank you!! I appreciate your reply. I got into lock picking about 5 years ago and recently stumbled across your videos. Great content! Thanks for sharing :)
Can you recommend a good shutter lock available in Europe? Hardened-steel body, hardened shackle 7mm in thickness (cannot be thicker) and with a highly pick-resistant core. Drill-protection disc would be nice. Which is the best one you have encountered?
Looking at this lock, you can see exactly how it would go back together. Only a little harder than taking it apart - probably the only tricky bit is getting the sidebar and core back in.
I would be interested in a lock part and lock-picking terminology video from you. Love your videos but some of the things as a causal person watching your videos I'm not aware of what they mean.
Did a quick scroll through your videos. I didn’t see but maybe didn’t look hard enough, have you done the Sesame brand combination locks? I get them from Tacoma Screw. Watching you walk through these locks like they not even in there as a little disconcerting. I live in Washington state and our legislature has passed i1639 which contains, among many other egregious nonsense, requires safe storage of firearms. It specifies locks or safes that can’t be opened with “common tools”. After watching your videos it would seem literally impossible to comply. Are there any locks that might actually comply?
@@insanejughead They were discussing Burnie's cat robot litter box that Gavin recommended, and it broke, and he found a TH-cam channel that fixed it, and that itself got into another topic about TH-cam channels, which lead to this one. Lol.
I suspect the shoddy "rebranding" is because the lock was made after hours as a "ghost run": a UK firm designed and ordered the lock and someone at the factory made a bunch of extras to sell off the books. The "rebranding" only needs to be good enough to hide it from the original firm in the Amazon listing. In a slightly backhanded way, someone out there must appreciate the design.
Yes. Tension wrench you can make from a window wiper insert. Just cut to length and bend an end. Some people make picks from paper clips or other similar thin bits of metal you can shape to what you want but I bought a starter kit thats really good online for about 12 euro. That included a bunch of picks and a see thru practice lock. Great for the price. I believe LPL has a video where he reviews the kit i metion and was impressed with it🙂good luck👍
He has commented briefly on high security door locks, and pretty much what he said is that good locks on doors only provide a small amount of security compared to the price because someone trying to break and enter probably won't try to pick the deadbolt, they will find a different way in that is faster and less skill intensive (break a window, kick down the door, etc.). If your house is otherwise more protected than most (steel door and door frame, reinforced windows, etc.) then maybe the deadbolt is the weak link in your security, but otherwise it isn't worth the high cost
@@kevinwells9751 I've picked and (mostly) bumped my way into more houses than I can count. I literally don't remember how many there were. And my house was bump keyed into before twice... by police. Little known fact: most of the police in my area have bump keys on them. My bump keys were my primary source of income for years. So I wasn't asking about that aspect of it... since I already know for a fact that the "they'll just kick down a door or break a window" idea is 100% objectively false. I'm just curious how easily pick-able Abloys, and specifically the Protec2, is... from someone who is a better picker than I am. Before you comment: Yes, police DO enter without a warrant... they do it ALL THE TIME. They say the door was open and they heard something. It's common practice.
@@I_leave_mean_comments Protec II is an awesome lock. I am the only one to have publicly picked this lock. However, it has been opened non-destructively in the past many, many times (not by me, in secret). They can't be bumped. Thieves won't be opening it.
I would use this lock. If the body is good that is. The shape is good. I would personally add false gates to it with a little file. Picking is not currently a real world threat.

The only thing a lock decides is if you need a new lock or a new door or if the perp just goes for the next door. Which is what you want.

tray is very bright.
You should make a lock that even you cant open.

Do you put the locks back together yourself after you take them apart? If so, how hard/difficult is it to put disassembled locks back together?

Looking at this lock, you can see exactly how it would go back together. Only a little harder than taking it apart - probably the only tricky bit is getting the sidebar and core back in.
The real question is, could this be done without that special pick?
LPL, can that lock be easily shimmed?
It looks like it would make a nice motorcycle brake rotor lock.
No, as they typically have ball bearings to lock the shackle in place. Unlss of course it is the cheapest that you can close without the key.
