There is something really appealing in cast iron of that era and brass.

In computer security we learn that "obscurity is no replacement for security". The reasoning being that unless you are an expert yourself, the obscurity you introduce isn't going to be enough to prevent an attacker who knows their stuff.
And in history we learn that information decides wars. Which is why using standard methods and allowing someone to research countermeasures before even attacking is detrimental to security.
@@christophersavignon4191 The point is that most people are not capable enough where inventing their own, obscure method would actually lead to a increase in security.
@@Joel-co3xl But you were criticizing security by obscurity, with a lack of skill hardly being a side mention. It's a bit of a disease in LPL video comments to be blind to the idea that giving an attacker all the info about your system is rather stupid. If skill really was your point, you need a much less obscure and more secure way of making points. Besides, you contradicted yourself with the idea of an attacker who "knows their stuff" not being deterred by obscurity, when obscurity is what keeps them from having said knowledge.
@@christophersavignon4191 in computer science security by obscurity never has worked and I'll bet hard money it never will work. It may work in other fields, idk, but its a hard no for cyber security. A hacker who knows their stuff can pretty easily break a system even if it is very obscure. The most secure systems are ones that use well documented open source projects, such as the linux kernel, because with more eyes on a project, the more likely holes are to be found and immediately patched. Its impossible for a closed source project to be anywhere close to as secure as a well documented open source project, and every computer system that relies on security by obscurity as its main protection, always ends in a pretty spectacular failure. A recent example is the intel management engine which got hacked and hacked hard in 2019
I don’t know if you ever seen that dude who made a lego lock for his door, and somebody said in the comments I wonder if the lockpickinglawyer can pick it, I would definitely search up “lego door lock” and give that kid a message
If I found the right video(s) then: No. I found to videos with similar mechnisms. Both require a "key" to lock and the removal of a piece (which is called 'key') to open it. So, picking it would mean to find a key for locking it up or what?
I have a Union push key that looks identical, apart from the logo of course. Have been trying to pick it for a while but haven't tried pulling the shackle, thanks for the tip👍
Legend has it that the Lock Picking Lawyer changes the lock to his front door every single day and never once uses the same key or any key. In fact the only way for one to get into his house, is to be able to pick through every lock.
Just spent hours of frustration trying to pick a Yale model 805 from 1905... THEN this video came out and solved all my 115 year old lock struggles. LOL
I've had two of these for years and it never occurred to me to just pull the shackle for tension. Been sliding a shim in and then lifting the pins front to back, using the shim to keep them at the sheer line. This is much nicer xD
I wish you could take this one apart, I'd love to see how that works internally. I assume the key pins rest on the spaces between pins, and that's also why the shackle lifts up so little.
Wow! I had a lock identical to this when I was a kid, as a toy, but it was broken. At the time, I concluded that it had been designed to open without requiring a key, as a sort of faux lock. In retrospect, the pins were probably just frozen open...
I worked in lock shop during high school in the early 70s. When those old Yales came in I would shim them from the front with a curved shim and a hook pick. After opening you could get the plug out and make a key easy.
I have a slaymaker version of this lock that I use to lock my shed that I got from my great grandfather’s stash of antique locks, and I have yet to have my shed broken into. I think sometimes the trick to a lock is to make it deceptively easy to pick, like the case with this kind of lock. I think lock building a hundred years ago was a lot more ingenious than it is not.
Before watching the LPL my mind had only been blown once before when it comes to lockpicking and safe cracking and that was jeff sitar crack the safe quicker than I can accomplish most menial tasks but this mans knowledge of lockpicking I'd venture to say is nigh unparalleled in all seriousness you're like a lockpicking savant
I have several of those of different makes. They are 4 pins so your number 4 pin probably didn't need setting. As a note of interest it's very easy to shim the core with these push key locks.

I wish you could take this one apart, I'd love to see how that works internally. I assume the key pins rest on the spaces between pins, and that's also why the shackle lifts up so little.
I love the master lock slander in this channel
Would you be willing to do some longer videos that are about the history of locks? Like an additional series? I love learning about it from you.
So many years later... LPL finally found the key to get into Yale.
Took much longer on a 115yo lock than most modern locks. Impressive.
Nice lock
Interesting to see this show up, because I bought a lock identical to this just the other day, with no key. Nice to see how to open so fast, lol.
I have one of these! It is my favourite lock!
Its beautiful. I think it is still a good lock today as it is very unlikely that many people know how they work
oh I love this lock. It even sounds good
I like these old locks.
Another example that things are much easier when you know what you are dealing with.
I have the exact same lock no key. had no idea it was that old 😀👍
If I hear "a click on 1, ...." infront of my door, I might as well just open the door for them.
Wow! I had a lock identical to this when I was a kid, as a toy, but it was broken. At the time, I concluded that it had been designed to open without requiring a key, as a sort of faux lock. In retrospect, the pins were probably just frozen open...
That's a beautiful lock.
I worked in lock shop during high school in the early 70s. When those old Yales came in I would shim them from the front with a curved shim and a hook pick. After opening you could get the plug out and make a key easy.
I have unlocked with no key. How do I take it apart to make a key?
The keyway looks surprisingly modern to a casual observer like me
I have a slaymaker version of this lock that I use to lock my shed that I got from my great grandfather’s stash of antique locks, and I have yet to have my shed broken into. I think sometimes the trick to a lock is to make it deceptively easy to pick, like the case with this kind of lock. I think lock building a hundred years ago was a lot more ingenious than it is not.
That lock is so CUTE! I wonder what was in a typical 1905 locker.
That's a very cool looking lock.
this construction os extremely simple! great design.
I once took 8 months on and off of practicing trying to ride a unicycle untill I finally could. So yah, now I I can do that
This lock looks so nice.
I have one of those locks. Haven't seen it in many yesrs. Now I have to go find it.
Before watching the LPL my mind had only been blown once before when it comes to lockpicking and safe cracking and that was jeff sitar crack the safe quicker than I can accomplish most menial tasks but this mans knowledge of lockpicking I'd venture to say is nigh unparalleled in all seriousness you're like a lockpicking savant
I have several of those of different makes. They are 4 pins so your number 4 pin probably didn't need setting. As a note of interest it's very easy to shim the core with these push key locks.
