10k subscribers before 2021 Seems like you already got your puppy then. First time I’ve seen one of these comments that already reached their stated goal.
That is the whole idea! Only the locksmith who sold the cylinder is authorised to make extra keys. And only suitably qualified locksmiths are allowed to purchase the 'kit' needed to sell and service these cylinders. To make keys, a 'clipper' is needed to make the key to code (they are not 'duplicated') and a device to bend the unfinished key into the U shape. In USA 'Lock Snobs' is one franchisee who sell these cylinders to the public and can provide extra keys. As far as I know, the Australian factory does not sell 'ready to go' cylinders. The franchisee locksmith makes up cylinders as required for customers which can be keyed alike or masterkeyed.
@@jasontaylor7419 If that is your biggest worry then use a cylinder that takes a 'C4' key (the most common type in Australia) or Schlage C etc. The outfits that use Bilock want security and key control so are prepared to pay the greater cost of these cylinders and keys.
@@jasontaylor7419 yeah - ask any nuber of office property managers this - there is a reason a lot of them charge a deposit returnable on return of the keys (both because they are expensive - and to ensure their return) - don't forget when someone loses the master key in a campus set - the cost for replacing all the cylinders is ASTRONOMICAL
Yeah, restricted blanks and keys that are difficult to replicate are usually advertised as sought-after features for a high-security lock, not downsides
For those of you concerned about the ease of overcoming these locks, remember, these locks have been studied, a lot taken apart and studied more, tried before the video, and done in ideal conditions, with all the best tools available, mounted or held for maximum comfort and access, performed by a very capable individual. Most all of these locks will never be approached/ picked under such great conditions in real life, but that does not take away from the fact that LPL is pretty darn good at this.
@@pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042 Also locks are for keeping honest people "honest" a determined thief would probably use a destructive method to open this lock.
@@pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042 the average is going threw a smashed window, or through the roof (most aussie roofs are tin or old britle tiles spanned over rafters. Once sun damaged, you can step through the tiles. The tin needs an angle grinder or less. Or rip off a whirly girly bare hands and slide on in.)
@@rhys5567 your bottom level/crackhead will do that, but the average or better will just go find another house on the street that they can get into without having to destroy shit/make heaps of noise/set off alarms.
@@another1commenter770 It could be even better if it was a double lock lock (don't know the correct term, a lock that you have to unlock twice to open it), that would mean you'd have to pick it twice. Even LPL needed around 3 minutes to pick it once, in a perfect environment.
This lock is an interesting one. Once you know how to pick it, it’s not actually that hard, but it’s very different from picking other locks. Most of what makes it time consuming is that it has 12 pins, but each pin only has 3 possible positions, and they’re nearly impossible to overset. Because of this, it puts it in a similar category for me as the DUO and gen 1 smartkey, where the biggest obstacle is that it’s just different. Don’t get me wrong though, it’s far harder than the smartkey or duo, but once you’ve got the touch for the lock, all of them become reasonably “easy” in that they’ll all feel the same.
@@Loupgarou21 I mean yes it is relatively easy to pick and manly time consuming because of the amount of pins similar to why a good cross lock is hard to pick but I was more making a joke.
The problem with those locks, is that if they are exported to my part of the world, they'd have to be installed upside down. Which is a hassle. But yeah, if I was worried about people picking my locks, I would probably see if I could buy one of these locks. Even though I'd have to install it upside down.
"As we would find it in the wild." It's me, Beahr Grylls, here today showing you the BiLock, here in it's natural environment, away from it's doorframe for the first tihme.
"A tricky lock to open, I would choose to use this in my own house." Yea, that lock is unpickable by mortal standards. You're better off using an antimaterial rifle to blow open the door.
BiLock's website has this: "There are claims of people picking a BiLock cylinder. In every case we have researched, the operating key was already in their hand and they refused to let us examine the actual lock. This leads us to believe that the locks were "modified" to make it look easy to pick." Guess they need to watch this video. Contrast with Bowley. On their website, they admit any lock can be picked given enough time and the right tools and they link the TH-cam videos for your entertainment. BTW, LPL has yet to pick the Bowley on camera.
The real test for BiLock as a company will now be if they choose to act honourably and revise their marketing message, or whether they double down on their assertion and deny the legitimacy of the pick because it didn't happen on their rather narrow terms.
Yeah, no kidding. I've been waiting for a bowley picking since I learned about them. They're one of the trickiest locks in the world to pick and using conventional tools it's probably impossible altogether. Maybe LPL is constructing a specialized pick just for them.
To be fair though, LPL said the lock is in his top 10, from hundreds of locks if not thousands, if there was a company I wanted to be 'mislead' by it would be this one.
here we see an LPL in his natural habitat, about to take down his prey "as found in the wild". The lock stands no chance against the tensioning bar and pick that all wild LPL have. The LPL then proceeds to gut his victim, carefully pulling out its insides and proudly claiming it was a worthy prey, giving it words of praise.
That's one thing that is making me hesitant to buy a set of these locks for my house, it would be nearly impossible to get a key made should I need to either give someone a key or if god forbid I break a key or something
you should rekey a lock at least when you first move in, some people suggest even more often if theres a chance you lost a copy of the key or someone made a mold
These locks are used to secure ATM’s and money down here as well, they have a sort of “levelling” system regarding the keys. All keys will fit into all of these locks, but will only work if it was designed specifically for the serial code of the lock and “master” keys are designed for a specific range of serial numbers regarding the locks. Also fun fact: lock smiths can’t and won’t cut these keys, they have to be ordered directly from the company or their licensed private/commercial locksmiths
You're almost but not quite correct when it comes to all keys fitting. Generally the plugs come with the standard 102 broach faceplate which is basically blank, and is by far the most common option especially in 2nd Gen BiLock. However some licensed resellers have faceplates/key blanks that do have unique warding (113 broach, 101 broach etc.). Having said that, the warding is very shallow and doesn't really do anything to stop picking, it only stops the incorrect broach key being inserted and even then it's not particularly difficult to get around (a thin hand file and some patience usually does the trick). I'm admittedly pretty lousy at picking BiLock myself, but one of my mates is pretty good at it.
@@horatioyen256 You have to be a signatory to get keys cut, which is the same as most other restricted systems. I've not heard of the need to provide a card for a BiLock system before. The card system you're describing sounds an lot like the procedure to order the Abloy EMC keys for meter boxes. Are you sure the two haven't been mixed up? (I'm happy to be proven wrong)
As an Aussie, I always wondered about these locks. They’re everywhere down here, especially on schools, council buildings, government buildings etc. as a kid I always assumed they were pretty secure just by noticing they’re pretty much two keys in one. Thanks as always LPL!
@@samuelyoung2671 Good news! We know the answer. Australia changed its laws on gun ownership in the mid-90s. Gun deaths and the homicide rate are both considerably lower than before then, so lower gun ownership has made the country safer. :-)
@@botondkantor7421 Not what I meant. What you would hear is a loud bang as the front door implodes, because the SWAT officer raiding you has watched this channel and knows how this lock is stronger than the door.
I just liked the "find in the wild" line bc it makes it sound like it's some captured animal. You go on a walk around the park and see a lock foraging for food and another one climbing up a tree.
he also can practice beforehand, discard recordings where things don't work, and can look at the key out-of-frame to estimate where the gates are. But still it's impressive and very informative.
These locks are immune to funnel webs, any snake and irukandji venom. There is recorded proof of them being consumed by and crapped out by great white sharks and the largest of salt water crocodiles. Some carcases of such critters have been found with these locks still in their digestive tracts. These locks are however susceptible to magpies. I'm not talking about the birds. Collingwood supporters have been known to bypass the lock by finding the heaviest thing they can lift and throwing it through your window.
"I have here a high security lock even professionals are going to have trouble with." Also LPL *3 minutes later* "Okay now lets disassemble this lock and see why I broke it open in less time it takes to make coffee."
These locks were installed throughout my high school, and were impossible to pick. That being said, the rest of the door and door frame was so shit that the latch didn’t actually engage half the time...
We have a couple classrooms where you can just pull off the aluminum flashing and open the door. Bloody lock isn't even held in it's own piece of metal, just rubs il against the bare metal, that unclips from the facade of the building. It's never the lock at fault, but the implementation and how it's installed.
Look at some of the Pen Tester (penetration tester) vids, it's always lackadaisical fitment that defeats even the best factory engineered locks. So. Many. Failure. Modes. Kinda like not needing a thousand years on a quantum computer to break some encryption, just beat the guy who knows the passphrase with a stick.
LPL: "That said it's a pretty tricky lock to open, something that's going to give even experienced pickers a fair bit of trouble." *checks video length* me: I guess he has a challenge here! LPL: "...and then I'll take it apart and show you what's inside." me: oh...
As an Aussie, I've always wondered how they are constructed & how they work, so thanks! Once was one of the last to leave a meeting, & found one of these type of keys near the entrance after they'd locked up & left (didn't try to unlock any of the hall's doors as I knew it was alarmed), but they were very appreciative when key was returned as a replacement-key isn't cheap!
Thief in front of the door: "How to pick this one?" *Goes on LPL channel* LPL: "This is a tricky one... probably in the top 10 on my list of high security cylinders that I would consider using on my own house." Thief: "Damn, I give up. Movin on."
The most you can *ever* hope for with security systems is to dissuade prospective attackers and make them look elsewhere. This appears to do its job admirably!
Hey, that’s the lock we use at our place, even got a couple Bilock padlocks for our shed. For some reason, proud to be an owner now since it took LPL almost 3min to pick and in his top 10 choices! Aussie, aussie, aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!

@@averagejo1626 that's the difference between the average criminal and someone who has spent their entire life popping locks for fun and profit like LPL here.
It would be less interesting if one could not see what he was doing because of said hand. It might be a small advantage, but it certainly does not affect the outcome meaningfully.
I am a locksmith and have been for almost 30 years and I have picked one of these bilock locks before about 15 years ago and I have never pick one since, he has practice this a lot to be able to pick that lock and probably know what high to push each of the 12 pins, well done to to him tho as they are very hard locks to pick.
"This is the LockPickingLawyer and here we have the storage case for nuclear warhead launch codes, as you can see not too difficult, got it picked in 20 seconds"
Nuclear Warhead launch codes, at least in the US, is always 00000000 (eight zeroes). Or, in the newer versions, P7P7P7P7P7P7 (6 dials set to show "P7").
The clicks on that thing are loud. Also, 2 minutes and 40 seconds for him to pick. I don't think I've seen something take so long for him in a long time.
Well, he did have to pick two locks basically. He talked it up a lot, but I didn't notice him mention any features that made it too difficult to pick. At a guess I'd say a somewhat skilled person with some understanding of the lock could pick it in under 20 minutes, which is a lot of time making it risky but for the right target and a somewhat hidden spot may be worth it.
@@jkolbly1 if you’re already familiar with picking a bilock it shouldn’t take more than about 5 minutes to open any bilock you come across. The sidebars isolate really reliably, which makes it a lot easier to pick. One kind of disappointing thing is that unlike most high sec locks, the bilock can also be raked open.
@@Loupgarou21 ???? Fact? Can it really?? They are still some cool looking locks!! And hes so good now hes getting locks from different parts of the world like he already whipped all the ones in the .U.S.

@@marvindebot3264 Particularly with this key type, you've got a chance of the key snapping in the lock. So you'd need a locksmith who can drill/remove for you - and you'd want to be able to manage that in a couple of hours not a couple of days. Now depending on your house style (number of doors etc), that delay might be a much smaller problem for anyone who does indeed keep spare keys accessible.
@@rhas356 it is a lock used for mostly commercial purposes, not residential housing. That massively increases the chances of having spares since businesses often need to be opened up by more than one person.
I truly enjoy watching The LPL... so... scientific. No genuine bias, just straight shooting. Subtle humour from time to time. You do amazing work sir, I tip my hat to thee.
Oh wow, what a recommended video. These locks are used all over the labs and universities I've worked in in Australia. I had no idea they were locally produced and so effective! I was always caught up in the curious key design.
Yes, they are extremely common in Australia, however they aren't necessarily the same thing as shown here. Some locking systems use one side of the U-shape for Master keys, and various levels of access rights. For example, the higher-level management's key opens all locks, whilst a lower level key might only open the toilets.
@@johncoops6897 You'd be surprised to learn that it's often the opposite. The cleaners need to get in everywhere, upper level management probably only need a couple of locks. They have no need to be carrying around masters which, if they lose, could cost hundreds of thousands for a site wide rekey (Bilock QCC mitigates some of this cost). Cleaning contractors will likely have insurance against this risk.
I work at Sydney Trains and all of our secure rooms use these locks. Can confirm that they are very robust and stand up to a lot of abuse. Was always curious as to the strange design of the key and the way that the masterkeys worked.
Hey @TehGamerPro, not sure if you still work at Sydney Trains, but do you know how sometimes people on the train get access to the little PowerPoint panel? I've always wanted to be able to use my laptop on the train, but it always needs to be on power :(
These styles of locks are super popular here in Australia, particularly in schools and businesses. I had never considered that they were anything special, but what a great lock!
My primary school had them on pretty much all the classroom doors, yes it is hard to pick, no it is not hard to get your hands on the key especially since my year 5 teacher had a spare set in her desk that she never checked. *insert a lot of fun here*
Not a lot of people realize this but, I can tell you that this man is one of the greatest lock pickers of all time. He picks like Monet painted and Curry shoots. I would gladly pay money to watch him share his art.
I still remember trying to pick one of these to get into the teachers room to get my phone out of my bag when I left it inside accidentally during lunch. Never realised how far away from success I really was 😂😂😂😂😂
Are you Australian too? Seems like everyone who has seen these locks before is an Aussie. Secondarily, since your first thought was to pick the lock, you must be an Aussie!
Haha yeah I am. I like the second way you considered I must be Aussie 😂 But in all honesty it was because I couldn't be stuffed going to ask the teacher so I tried to get my own way in... 🤦🏻♂️ Ended up waiting for the end of lunch instead of walking to the staff room to get the teacher. 😂
As a tool design engineer it always fascinates me to see the similarity in locks and how they're built once in awhile something different happens it's always fun to look at the inside of the locks to see what makes him work
As an Aussie, I'll accept some of the praise from LPL saying this lock is in his top 10 high security lock choices. As an aside I worked at a Science Center in Adelaide that used these locks, prob generation 1 as it was some 20 years ago now.
I don't know about the whole uni but at least some of the buildings in UWA use these. I know forest hall does and that's a pretty new building so id guess they'll be version 2s in there
Wow,I worked for that company and seeing the pin and sidebars again bring back memories I use to set the pin and sidebar machines great video and great australian product
Finally an Aussie lock I’ve been waiting for one of these. But in all seriousness just watching this channel has always taught me one thing and it’s that locks will never always be strong and I personally took up lock picking before even watching this channel but after watching this channel I’ve learnt so many different things lawyer has taught me over the years all from different tensioning methods and tools and all the other opposite way to different types of locks and how to tell the difference and even teaching me that even public institutions really don’t understand their safety so thank you lawyer and u r incredible.
@@wzukr If the price becomes excessive users will switch to other brands eg Medeco or Lockwood's high security cylinder or even just use 'restricted' cylinders. There are also various 'restricted' cylinders available which provide adequate key control. I had to arrange re-keying for a non-profit outfit a few years ago. The choices in my mind were Cyberlock (too expensive despite being able to 're-key' on the fly), BiLock (security overkill) and 'restricted' - that was the cheapest but adequate. If a Bilock franchised locksmith is consulted about re-keying a school, etc, guess which system the locksmith will talk the customer into purchasing. And the locksmith is likely to make a sale if the price is not too outrageous. And if the customer is having real security issues (eg thefts because of stray keys), it makes it even easier for the locksmith to pull off a Bilock sale. A local University building had its security compromised because someone stole the masterkey (MLAA JC restricted series) that was kept in the top drawer of the office. They installed Bilock and the Bilock masterkey is probably still kept in the top drawer. They could have just rekeyed the existing cylinders and used the money saved on other things.
Hey cool, we had these in HIgh School (in Australia) didn't know they were Australian made. I can see why the quick change key would come in handle. Replacing the locks on the >100 doors in the whole school would be tedious otherwise. Although they were starting to replace them with electronic locks. As it's easier to update then traditional keys.
Ask anyone who's ever lost a BiLock key how much they love these locks... 😆 Big business in Australia, the cylinders and keys are very expensive but they're pretty much standard fitment for anything that needs reasonable security and difficult-to-duplicate master keying. Nice to see that they held up pretty well under LPL's scrutiny. Bonza mate. 👍
As a sec officer, I happily had these on my home locks, but at a certain educational facility I worked at, these were a bloody nightmare as they (could have been gen 1 tho) had a bad habit of weakening after lots of uses due to the double keyway, (lockups, opens every day by guards, and area checks. Luckily we didn't have too many of them, and most locks were abloy star shapes..which were like cheese after a few months usage. We were forever calling maintenance to replace the damn things. Which did.not.mske.them.happy. And as a control op, guards didn't give a rats on treating them well. Great video, I'd always thought these would be hard to pick!
These were the locks used on all of my school's doors... I remember feeling so powerful holding one of those keys when a teacher handed them to me, because they are so unique. Interesting to see how the locks of my childhood worked, and that our school buildings were decently safe!!
Worked for Chubb in New Zealand for 8 years as an Alarm/CCTV/Access Control technician. Worked along side the locksmiths and they used these locks a lot in the higher security applications. The locksmiths had the gear to make the keys, really good equipment and very reliable. I considered getting them for my house, but a thief that actually wanted to get in wouldn’t really care about the lock, windows are easy to get through. Working in security along side the police, it’s well worth making it obvious that you have an alarm system in the house and you use it. Obviously locking your doors and windows helps too. 😉
Out of every lock I've seen LPL pick this lock is way better then most other countries locks by a landslide. Good job to the company that produces this lock very well made imo.

You know a lock is good when the “downside” it has is that locksmiths can’t even make keys for it!
That is the whole idea! Only the locksmith who sold the cylinder is authorised to make extra keys. And only suitably qualified locksmiths are allowed to purchase the 'kit' needed to sell and service these cylinders. To make keys, a 'clipper' is needed to make the key to code (they are not 'duplicated') and a device to bend the unfinished key into the U shape. In USA 'Lock Snobs' is one franchisee who sell these cylinders to the public and can provide extra keys. As far as I know, the Australian factory does not sell 'ready to go' cylinders. The franchisee locksmith makes up cylinders as required for customers which can be keyed alike or masterkeyed.
And the keys are expensive when you need to replace.
@@jasontaylor7419 If that is your biggest worry then use a cylinder that takes a 'C4' key (the most common type in Australia) or Schlage C etc. The outfits that use Bilock want security and key control so are prepared to pay the greater cost of these cylinders and keys.
@@jasontaylor7419 yeah - ask any nuber of office property managers this - there is a reason a lot of them charge a deposit returnable on return of the keys (both because they are expensive - and to ensure their return) - don't forget when someone loses the master key in a campus set - the cost for replacing all the cylinders is ASTRONOMICAL
Yeah, restricted blanks and keys that are difficult to replicate are usually advertised as sought-after features for a high-security lock, not downsides
For those of you concerned about the ease of overcoming these locks, remember, these locks have been studied, a lot taken apart and studied more, tried before the video, and done in ideal conditions, with all the best tools available, mounted or held for maximum comfort and access, performed by a very capable individual. Most all of these locks will never be approached/ picked under such great conditions in real life, but that does not take away from the fact that LPL is pretty darn good at this.
If it takes the lock picking lawyer 3.5 minutes to open, it'll take an experienced thief 10 minutes to open and the average thief 3.5 hours to open.
@@pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042 Also locks are for keeping honest people "honest" a determined thief would probably use a destructive method to open this lock.

I was thinking the same thing lol
This lock is an interesting one. Once you know how to pick it, it’s not actually that hard, but it’s very different from picking other locks. Most of what makes it time consuming is that it has 12 pins, but each pin only has 3 possible positions, and they’re nearly impossible to overset. Because of this, it puts it in a similar category for me as the DUO and gen 1 smartkey, where the biggest obstacle is that it’s just different. Don’t get me wrong though, it’s far harder than the smartkey or duo, but once you’ve got the touch for the lock, all of them become reasonably “easy” in that they’ll all feel the same.
@@Loupgarou21 I mean yes it is relatively easy to pick and manly time consuming because of the amount of pins similar to why a good cross lock is hard to pick but I was more making a joke.

BiLock's website has this: "There are claims of people picking a BiLock cylinder. In every case we have researched, the operating key was already in their hand and they refused to let us examine the actual lock. This leads us to believe that the locks were "modified" to make it look easy to pick." Guess they need to watch this video. Contrast with Bowley. On their website, they admit any lock can be picked given enough time and the right tools and they link the TH-cam videos for your entertainment. BTW, LPL has yet to pick the Bowley on camera.
The real test for BiLock as a company will now be if they choose to act honourably and revise their marketing message, or whether they double down on their assertion and deny the legitimacy of the pick because it didn't happen on their rather narrow terms.
Yeah it’s sad. There are many proven BiLock picks on TH-cam but they instead choose to act like children.
Yeah, no kidding. I've been waiting for a bowley picking since I learned about them. They're one of the trickiest locks in the world to pick and using conventional tools it's probably impossible altogether. Maybe LPL is constructing a specialized pick just for them.
yea bowley has unique key frame
also they linked LPL's vid regarding Bowley
To be fair though, LPL said the lock is in his top 10, from hundreds of locks if not thousands, if there was a company I wanted to be 'mislead' by it would be this one.
here we see an LPL in his natural habitat, about to take down his prey "as found in the wild". The lock stands no chance against the tensioning bar and pick that all wild LPL have. The LPL then proceeds to gut his victim, carefully pulling out its insides and proudly claiming it was a worthy prey, giving it words of praise.

These locks are used to secure ATM’s and money down here as well, they have a sort of “levelling” system regarding the keys. All keys will fit into all of these locks, but will only work if it was designed specifically for the serial code of the lock and “master” keys are designed for a specific range of serial numbers regarding the locks.
Also fun fact: lock smiths can’t and won’t cut these keys, they have to be ordered directly from the company or their licensed private/commercial locksmiths
You're almost but not quite correct when it comes to all keys fitting. Generally the plugs come with the standard 102 broach faceplate which is basically blank, and is by far the most common option especially in 2nd Gen BiLock. However some licensed resellers have faceplates/key blanks that do have unique warding (113 broach, 101 broach etc.).
Having said that, the warding is very shallow and doesn't really do anything to stop picking, it only stops the incorrect broach key being inserted and even then it's not particularly difficult to get around (a thin hand file and some patience usually does the trick).
I'm admittedly pretty lousy at picking BiLock myself, but one of my mates is pretty good at it.
@@Switchopens you still need the card though to make a copy
@@horatioyen256 You have to be a signatory to get keys cut, which is the same as most other restricted systems.

So wait, you're saying I just have to get as good as the LPL and I can just empty every ATM I come across in Australia in 2 1/2 minutes?!
As an Aussie, I always wondered about these locks. They’re everywhere down here, especially on schools, council buildings, government buildings etc. as a kid I always assumed they were pretty secure just by noticing they’re pretty much two keys in one. Thanks as always LPL!

he also can practice beforehand, discard recordings where things don't work, and can look at the key out-of-frame to estimate where the gates are. But still it's impressive and very informative.

Oh wow, what a recommended video. These locks are used all over the labs and universities I've worked in in Australia. I had no idea they were locally produced and so effective! I was always caught up in the curious key design.
Yes, they are extremely common in Australia, however they aren't necessarily the same thing as shown here. Some locking systems use one side of the U-shape for Master keys, and various levels of access rights. For example, the higher-level management's key opens all locks, whilst a lower level key might only open the toilets.
@@johncoops6897 You'd be surprised to learn that it's often the opposite. The cleaners need to get in everywhere, upper level management probably only need a couple of locks. They have no need to be carrying around masters which, if they lose, could cost hundreds of thousands for a site wide rekey (Bilock QCC mitigates some of this cost). Cleaning contractors will likely have insurance against this risk.
I work at Sydney Trains and all of our secure rooms use these locks. Can confirm that they are very robust and stand up to a lot of abuse. Was always curious as to the strange design of the key and the way that the masterkeys worked.

My primary school had them on pretty much all the classroom doors, yes it is hard to pick, no it is not hard to get your hands on the key especially since my year 5 teacher had a spare set in her desk that she never checked. *insert a lot of fun here*
These were the locks used in my apartment.
This is us, Australia:
Beers
Babes
Bi-locks
Dropbears
Boners
And big bastard bugs!
Binchickens
Beauties
Big ass keys for security purposes only
You forgot tyrannical authoritarianism.
Oh no! Our lock is in LockPickingLawyers hands!
"Over 7 minute video"
"YESYESYES OUR LOCK IS THE BEST"
Not a lot of people realize this but, I can tell you that this man is one of the greatest lock pickers of all time. He picks like Monet painted and Curry shoots. I would gladly pay money to watch him share his art.
Us Aussies needed to develop these locks due to drop bears being able to pick kryptonite locks at the Zoo.
Koowluh nah mate they somehow adapted to the marmite
@Koowluh Marmite is a geezer thing. We have Vegemite
@Koowluh Marmite? The fuck is this, the UK? Vegemite here, mate. And it takes like salt and tar.
I thought the spiders were the biggest threats? Or snakes. Or Scott Morrisson.
Please give us your top 10 locks list!
Yes please
I doubt it would be a true list. He probably wouldn't want the world to know which locks he uses
? Master Lock ?
Would that be awsome to have, but a security guy like lpl would never give it . Awsome to see one of the rare locks he can actually recomend
I would guess that some of abloy's newest locks are at least in top 3
I still remember trying to pick one of these to get into the teachers room to get my phone out of my bag when I left it inside accidentally during lunch. Never realised how far away from success I really was 😂😂😂😂😂
Are you Australian too? Seems like everyone who has seen these locks before is an Aussie.
Secondarily, since your first thought was to pick the lock, you must be an Aussie!
Haha yeah I am.
I like the second way you considered I must be Aussie 😂
But in all honesty it was because I couldn't be stuffed going to ask the teacher so I tried to get my own way in... 🤦🏻♂️ Ended up waiting for the end of lunch instead of walking to the staff room to get the teacher. 😂
As a tool design engineer it always fascinates me to see the similarity in locks and how they're built once in awhile something different happens it's always fun to look at the inside of the locks to see what makes him work
Quite clearly an Australian lock given that it turns counter-clockwise.
Nah. He just mounted it upside down ;)
The cylinder rotates both ways.
@@BTW... Yes...But also Cleary a joke
@@BTW... ... that's why it's a bi-lock.
@@tompw3141 dat bi representation 🏳️🌈
As an Aussie, I'll accept some of the praise from LPL saying this lock is in his top 10 high security lock choices.
As an aside I worked at a Science Center in Adelaide that used these locks, prob generation 1 as it was some 20 years ago now.
the University of Southern Queensland uses these all over aswell
I don't know about the whole uni but at least some of the buildings in UWA use these. I know forest hall does and that's a pretty new building so id guess they'll be version 2s in there
Paul Hogan looking at Master Lock: "That's not a lock. THIS is a lock!" Produces a BiLock V2 from his pocket.
"In the wild" made me think of pokemon
"A wild Bilock appeared!"
"LPL used PICK"
"It was super effective!"
😂😂😂😂
That pick fainted the pokemon 😂
As an Australian this makes me unreasonably proud. I've never even heard of this brand.
They aren't cheap nor offered by box movers like Bunnings (hardware retail chain in Australia). See a locksmith.
I haven't seen it at Bunnings. So its high end.
Gosh, who else finds his voice super soothing? I could fall asleep to it!
Welll. We get our lock mate.
This Australian lock is the one we should use.
Even LPL is thinking of using it for his home 😮
Wow,I worked for that company and seeing the pin and sidebars again bring back memories I use to set the pin and sidebar machines great video and great australian product
used to work in retail and telecoms in Australia, these locks are everywhere
They are used all over the Queensland Rail network to secure things like access panels.
CQ University room doors were either this or assa abloy.
Jonathan Wilson yeah iv got a SMU and NGR flat door key aka drivers door key
Finally an Aussie lock I’ve been waiting for one of these. But in all seriousness just watching this channel has always taught me one thing and it’s that locks will never always be strong and I personally took up lock picking before even watching this channel but after watching this channel I’ve learnt so many different things lawyer has taught me over the years all from different tensioning methods and tools and all the other opposite way to different types of locks and how to tell the difference and even teaching me that even public institutions really don’t understand their safety so thank you lawyer and u r incredible.
Over 2 min to pick the lock = sales are going to skyrocket
And so will the price for this lock, Robi_CK ;-)
@@wzukr If the price becomes excessive users will switch to other brands eg Medeco or Lockwood's high security cylinder or even just use 'restricted' cylinders. There are also various 'restricted' cylinders available which provide adequate key control. I had to arrange re-keying for a non-profit outfit a few years ago. The choices in my mind were Cyberlock (too expensive despite being able to 're-key' on the fly), BiLock (security overkill) and 'restricted' - that was the cheapest but adequate.
If a Bilock franchised locksmith is consulted about re-keying a school, etc, guess which system the locksmith will talk the customer into purchasing. And the locksmith is likely to make a sale if the price is not too outrageous. And if the customer is having real security issues (eg thefts because of stray keys), it makes it even easier for the locksmith to pull off a Bilock sale.
A local University building had its security compromised because someone stole the masterkey (MLAA JC restricted series) that was kept in the top drawer of the office. They installed Bilock and the Bilock masterkey is probably still kept in the top drawer. They could have just rekeyed the existing cylinders and used the money saved on other things.
Hey cool, we had these in HIgh School (in Australia) didn't know they were Australian made. I can see why the quick change key would come in handle. Replacing the locks on the >100 doors in the whole school would be tedious otherwise.
Although they were starting to replace them with electronic locks. As it's easier to update then traditional keys.
Ask anyone who's ever lost a BiLock key how much they love these locks... 😆
Big business in Australia, the cylinders and keys are very expensive but they're pretty much standard fitment for anything that needs reasonable security and difficult-to-duplicate master keying.
Nice to see that they held up pretty well under LPL's scrutiny. Bonza mate. 👍
I never knew I was interested in lock picking until you was randomly suggested into my life.
I saw the key and I was expecting to hear "Now I'm going to use the U-shaped wave rake that Bosniabill and I made".
Lmao
As a sec officer, I happily had these on my home locks, but at a certain educational facility I worked at, these were a bloody nightmare as they (could have been gen 1 tho) had a bad habit of weakening after lots of uses due to the double keyway, (lockups, opens every day by guards, and area checks. Luckily we didn't have too many of them, and most locks were abloy star shapes..which were like cheese after a few months usage. We were forever calling maintenance to replace the damn things. Which did.not.mske.them.happy. And as a control op, guards didn't give a rats on treating them well.
Great video, I'd always thought these would be hard to pick!
A key with a double bitting. We finally get to see LPL's third hand in action.
Edit: Spoke too soon. Not this time.
It took him about 2 minutes and 31 seconds to pick it; that's a pretty good lock!
These were the locks used on all of my school's doors... I remember feeling so powerful holding one of those keys when a teacher handed them to me, because they are so unique. Interesting to see how the locks of my childhood worked, and that our school buildings were decently safe!!
Being an Australian, I'm impressed that you think this lock is on your top ten list. 😀
”in the wild...” I almost heard that with Steve irwins voice, epic.
Worked for Chubb in New Zealand for 8 years as an Alarm/CCTV/Access Control technician. Worked along side the locksmiths and they used these locks a lot in the higher security applications. The locksmiths had the gear to make the keys, really good equipment and very reliable. I considered getting them for my house, but a thief that actually wanted to get in wouldn’t really care about the lock, windows are easy to get through. Working in security along side the police, it’s well worth making it obvious that you have an alarm system in the house and you use it. Obviously locking your doors and windows helps too. 😉
Yeah I agree.. I worked out that locks only keep the honest people out..
Keep in mind that destructive entry leaves evidence! Easier to get police involved or insurance payouts if a window is broken.
Yep, the triple set up for security, Lock, Alarm and CCTV.
the downside is "DON'T BREAK OR LOSE YOUR KEY" 🤣
Lol but he didn't test with Ramset
Out of every lock I've seen LPL pick this lock is way better then most other countries locks by a landslide. Good job to the company that produces this lock very well made imo.
