Or better yet, get one to secure what you don’t want stolen and get another one to whack the thief over the head with when he tries and fails miserably at picking the lock.
You made it look so easy to pick, when the truth is that most experienced lock pickers could spend days on this and not get it open. *Very* impressive!
Bare in mind with these picking videos the picker may have had this lock picked several times and 'know'the lock therefore appearing much easier to pick on video. I'm sure most pickers wouldn't do it as quick with a lock they've not seen before
LockPickingLawyer if the inner parts are brass, can't a really long lever(and one on lock body) just brute force to turn the thing to unlock ? like even if that means cutting all the pins and levers by shearing.
Choice777 the pins are brass, but so are the plug and bible. Applying force won’t sheer the pins so much as it just deforms all the brass equally. And pin tumblers have a *lot* of collective area, they are actually pretty strong.
Thanks -- Wow, thank you. I have considered doing some writing on picking, but knowledge of locks goes hand in hand. The truth is that you can't expect to advance as a picker without an good working knowledge of locks. The issues go hand in hand.
Man, you are definitely a master at lock picking. I've been at it since this past December and I can pick all Master Locks with no problem, even now including my 230DPF.--I'll be buying some piano wire to make my own security pins for that one. I'm now working on an ABUS 80TI/50 and an ABUS 83/45 with a Schlage core. I've had no success other than false sets with the 80TI/50. The key config is mean on the 80TI/50 as the 6th pin is at the highest position and the 5th is at the lowest. I've rekeyed my 83/45 and temporally replaced all the security pins with standard and was able to pick it with some difficulty. I've replaced all the security pins (4 spools, 1 serrated) and I can only get a false set. I also broke my Sparrows .015 short hook, so I've got a variety of new hooks in transit. I just can't even imagine picking a lock like this one in your video anytime in the near future. LOL.
Yes I have watched it. :) I feel I am almost there. Once I get the false set in these more difficult locks, I gradually ease off in as small of movements as I possibly can, but I just haven't quite got there yet. I feel fortunate though that I discovered from personal experience right away how little tension is required. When I came across your video last month, I knew I was on the right track and became hopeful that I'll get better at this. It was that video specifically why I became a subscriber to your channel. You are also very quick and frequent to respond and give feedback in your comments which I greatly appreciate and can't thank you enough.
@@fynngembries6808 Yes, I opened it along with a bunch of other cores. I was getting pretty good for a while but started developing issues with inflammation in my hand, wrists and arms which was causing nerve damage, so I rarely pick locks these days. The nerve damage is related to the workload of my day job due to the volume of typing, and not so much from locksport though. I usually pick my locks on car rides to keep my hands busy when my wife and I are driving out to places to go rockhounding.
As someone who rekeys locks at a certain big box store (and had to teach myself master pinning on the Kwikset/Defiant line we sell), who somehow found this channel and have now seen several videos, to the point I am considering taking up lock-picking just because you make it seem so interesting, I see the key on this lock and I would instantly NOPE out of even trying one this difficult.
I've watched this video before can't believe I didn't comment on its epicness. This lockpick is epicness the Mauer NW4 is considered "unpickable" like the Protec2. You're showing your experience as 2019 World Champion Lock-picker in this video for sure. Excellente! 💯
Good quality videos, well spoken, and knowledgeable? What a great find on this niche part of TH-cam! Really enjoy your content, and can't wait to see more videos from you.
My dad used to work in the now gone UK coal industry and 'liberated' many industrial Squire padlocks, which he secures his shed and coal bunker with, those suckers weigh a few pounds, and even he hasp & staples are industrial grade and fitted with coach bolts.
Maybe i missed a video but could you show how to assemble such a complex lock - that should be interesting Most of these videos show only the picking and gutting and i think that putting it together is much more difficult than the gutting Great Videos btw. Watching your lockpicking is relaxing and educating at the same time
Fun thing is that if you have this lock, the only kind of threat you have to worry about coming after that lock is someone who is going to do extensive recon ahead of time and map lock types to doors and practice at home heavily before the job. And honestly at that point, theyre probably going to instead steal a key or socially engineer their way past the lock. But if someone was determine, they would practice way ahead of time to the point where they pick faster than the lock picking lawyer even did. But thats still a lot of time to sit around in probably and awkward position obviously picking a lock. Its always good to analyze why a lock would be used and what goal one would try to accomplish with that lock. Youre either redirecting an attackers efforts or youre making them spend more time at that point trying to get through. Hopefully youll have good surveilance and patrolling that someone will have reported such a person
There are several places they could substantially increase security with minimal alteration to the design. That could probably boost pick resistance to at least 5 minutes if not 8 minute rating. A list of things they could do with only minimal design modification: 1. Replace the passive pins with active conventional pins to add a third row. (This would require the most modification, but also add the most added security.) 2. Increase the number of sliders and dimple pins. 3. Add some serrated pins in there in addition to the spool pins.
That picklocking is a nightmare!. Also, I liked the zoom close-ups on the pins and pieces. First time I can see a pib up-close and trully see what a Spool is.
Kicked that big boys ass easy, really interesting disassembly and breakdown, thanks for another great Vid. I would Love to see you take on a bi-lock , you are one of the few pickers on the planet that could pick one I bet.
Thanks -- I have picked a few bilocks, but I am far from consistent with them. My efforts to open them are not short enough in time for a video (and I refuse to keep reshooting until I get lucky -- that's dishonest!). I practice on them every now and then, but they are very, very tricky locks. Maybe one day. :-(
My this poor Squire lock rest in piece after the ballistic test it endured, but hey the only lock that didn't fail at some point even after taking armor piercing rounds.
Hi Harry, what an impressive padlock, AND impressive picking! We are starting to see some Squire stuff Downunder, but have not seen this one. Thanks for showing, Regards, Brian.
The padlocks is UK made. For Australia though we bring them in 'Less Cylinder' so they can be keyed up as the client desires. Put a high security cylinder in it and it will be a major challenge to defeat.
Thanks Brian. Paul, what cores do you have to fit this? It would be formidable with a BiLock or Lockwood MT5+. The Lockwood twin would be nice also, but probably a bit easier than the Mauer.
I import the padlocks which are then sold via locksmiths. We can get the retainers for the locks made to suit almost any cylinder as required but I don't sell the cylinders personally.
some of the picking tools used are very thin. so thin i wonder how they have the strength do do the job. just curious, does any company make lockpicking sets out of carbon fibre or similar type materials? this bloke is a pleasure to watch and listen to.
I lock up my Husqvarna 701 supermoto with mine. I use a 2 m Pragmasis Prtoector 19 mm chain which wraps right round the bike and passes through the chassis. Very interesting video and immediately raises the question "can I swap out the standard core supplied with my SS80 with a dimple core like the one you have shown here?".
Thanks. I'd been drooling ever since you introduced me to this lock. I picked up a NW4 euro cylinder (video 344) thinking that would quell my longing, but it just made me want the padlock even more. I finally gave in.
Haha I knew you could not resist ;) I will watch that video and others later this week. Still busy here I am afraid and wish I could get back doing videos soon! Your friend from Germany, Adrian
Adrian Weber Hey Adrian Where's My Squire Padlock? LOL Also you were meant to call me back in November last year as we spoke about on the phone and you said you would call me!?! It's been way to long since we have had a catch up...! Anyway I hope all is well and I hope to speak soon. Your Friend Nick.
I searched for a video with a lock that you failed to lock pick. It seems that i failed but not you))) if i am not right, pls some one reply me the link. PS one of the most professional youtube channels i ever seen! Awesome job! Wish you the best!
I live in an area where thefts are common. Had some cut my lock with a angle grinder to steal my daughter's bikes. Now I have a shed and I like the squire lock. But someone could cut my latch and/or screws no problem. Any recommendations for a tough latch and bolts/screws?
Maybe they already do but why don't companies such as squire employ you as a consultant or designer? Surely you would be the best person to design/evaluate locks.
Awesome video. I'm a little disappointed that I've seen 2 of your videos involving interactive elements on the keys, but never a detailed explanation on how they work or how you're bypassing that in your picking.
Nothing to explain. Interactive elements are like the “free” spot on a bingo card when it comes to picking. Great for helping prevent unauthorized key copies, though.
It would not have made a big difference... Now a blind pick (i.e., the first time I opened the lock) certainly would have added time... but not as much as you might think.
Is it possible to put a lock of that caliber back together and have it still working. I know it featured on your top 10 recently so how long did it take. Really enjoy your content keep it up.
Loosetile2 Everything he did to disassemble it was the same thing a shop will do to configure it for a different key. So yes, it goes back together fine, using the same tools (2 hex keys, tweezers, follower and a pinning tray. Plus the key). He films taking it apart without it going off camera to prove he didn't cheat and remove half the insides before picking).
I dont know what you could use this for. Its size is so large it would make the lock obsolete. I think its cool though but I cant think of a personal application. Too large for a locker or a bike lock. I suppose that someone has a need for this but I have never seen a padlock half its size in use. Nice picking!
question? Do you collect these locks as a hobby or for your job or something?? Do you collect old locks? If so which is the oldest you have?? Also outta ALL the locks you own which is your top 3 fav locks?
Locks are purely a hobby... as my screen name indicates, I'm a lawyer and my practice does not relate to locks or security. And I would never be able to list my favorite locks... that's like asking me to pick my favorite kid.
I have a Squire SS80CS. After taking off the weather cover, I noticed a 1/2 inch hole on the side. Is this a point of weakness in the lock? Could the lock be easily opened by using a Ramset through the hole? Should I make an effort to plug the hole? Thank you. I enjoy your videos.
How would you compare this lock to the best Commando locks or the Abus 20/70 or Abus 20/80 regarding price, durability, pick proof, everything that a typical buyer would be interested in knowing before they buy a lock or locks to protect their valuables? Thanks.
That was my thought exactly - for a mechanism that requires so much thought to design and precision to build, why rip the machined surface up with a coarse file?
LockPickingLawyer can you provide some tips on picking serrated pins. I'm constantly over setting them because i can't figure out when to stop pushing on them. They keep clicking then I over set.

Ideal for opening Masterlocks 😂

Its called asserting dominance.

Question is would you want to tackle this lock to rob the motorcycle plus other security or move on to found a more easier lock.
liam A of course he probably took days himself too finally get it too open
I love how your videos are numbered. Nice channel!
I misspoke in describing the dimensions of this lock -- the shackle is 16mm, not 14mm as I stated.
LockPickingLawyer if the inner parts are brass, can't a really long lever(and one on lock body) just brute force to turn the thing to unlock ? like even if that means cutting all the pins and levers by shearing.
@John Manoochehri you're sus, what are you trying to get in to?
Your amazing..... Love this channel. Keep going
Just wondering, I've watched you take several locks apart. How much work does it take to put it back together?
Choice777 the pins are brass, but so are the plug and bible. Applying force won’t sheer the pins so much as it just deforms all the brass equally. And pin tumblers have a *lot* of collective area, they are actually pretty strong.
You are becoming quite a reference for information about many various kinds of locks. I see a book in your future! Great pick, great lock!

Any lock that takes you over a minute to pick must be something great, and this one nearly took you three XD
A word to the wise.
DON'T. LOSE. YOUR. KEY.

his hands are mightier than the armor piercing bullets

Damn... I wanted to see you reassemble it.
I've got a Squire 5 reel combi lock but not of the experts seem able to unlock this one, I've lost combination

How would you compare this lock to the best Commando locks or the Abus 20/70 or Abus 20/80 regarding price, durability, pick proof, everything that a typical buyer would be interested in knowing before they buy a lock or locks to protect their valuables? Thanks.
That would be a great garage lock.
+Argantonis Is someone stealing garages? This would certainly weigh it down. 😛
It would deter attempts to tie a steel cable around the hasp and pull it with a car.
*@LockPickingLawyer Which is the best quality lock picking set..? Money no object..! Can you recommend one please..?*
Quite a lot of nasty looking filing work on that core - for a high security lock, that is.
That is a bit odd... but does seem to affect performance too much. I wonder about the hand fitting process that resulted in this.
It just looks sketchy on a lock like that. It just looks like somebody went over that core with a rough file in a real hurry. No fu... given.
That was my thought exactly - for a mechanism that requires so much thought to design and precision to build, why rip the machined surface up with a coarse file?
So, a beast of a lock to secure just about anything but it has an easily stolen plastic cover...
lpl nice video, how are you finding the new euro cylinders which have magnets fitted in them, and cylinders with ' trap pins ' ...fitted.
See video 302 for a lock with magnetic and trap pins! ;-) I also have a playlist of trap pin locks.
LockPickingLawyer can you provide some tips on picking serrated pins. I'm constantly over setting them because i can't figure out when to stop pushing on them. They keep clicking then I over set.
