Yes but they are following the money trail bean counters, not comments on this or Bosnian bills yt channel, unfortunately. What is the real number ratio of good vs junk locks getting picked aside from plain smashed, it would be interesting to know, as it's quite a small group that actually pick or lock smith.
For people asking about the "this side to door" - when you are installing the device, you are only installing that metal plate on your door first. Both sides are very similar when out of the box. So it's very helpful to see which side goes against the door 😉
@@k1mgy No, their damn plate is incredibly easy to put on with the wrong side facing the door - in fact, the side which should face the door looks much more as if it should face out.
"This side to door" reminds me of the old joke about morons laying sod on a lawn and their supervisor periodically leaning out the window to yell "Green side up!"
Schlage secretary: LPL has a video on our lock. Schlage exec: Oh My God - don't tell me - what was it? A toothpick? A fork? Schlage Secretary: No - proper single pin picking, over a 4 minute video. Schlage exec: Quick! Call the shop floor - we need to increase production five-fold!
LPL’s scaling for pick resistance: 1. Inexcusable design flaw 2. Susceptible to a relatively low skill raking attack 3. At least some effort was made but won’t slow down an experienced picker for very long 4. Better than expected but won’t keep out an experienced picker for more than a few minutes 5. Not too difficult a pick but more than sufficient to ward off casual theft [or “to keep out a curious adolescent,” if a gun lock], especially considering its price point
I'm not that into lockpicking either, but I use this channel to learn what techniques are resistant so I can equip my own locks accordingly. Most of my picking has been to get used locks without keys apart so I can key them as I wish.
@@cmotdibbler4454 It's not "FRONT TOWARD ENEMY" it's "FRONT TOWARD ENEMY" with the new line implying a full stop. the back says "BACK M18 A1 APERS MINE"
I have this exact lock on my reloading room door to keep the kids out. I'm not to worried about pick resistance yet, as I've not heard my 5 year old say "click out of 3, 4 is binding" yet.
I wanted to see this video to see his opinion on it. Security is about hardening a target so it's not the easy one. There's always a way through for unauthorized access, but how much effort and skill does it take? Some effort is good enough for most homes.
As a person who has a type of lock like this, it's actually very helpful. It's actually just a metal plate you install first and both sides look very similar, so it's nice to know which side gets pressed to the door first.
Its probably meant for the people in assembly just so they know which side goes where when putting it together. Seems like they just added it to the cast template.
If someone trying to gain access to your home is willing to break something to get in, you've done all you could. At that point, it's probably faster for them to smash a window or kick in the door. Destructive entry also means that your insurance company has to acknowledge you were broken into.
whoah holy shit. a proper tool for spinning the back cover off while holding the detent down AND a new method of lifting the keypins for easy extraction rather than tapping them out one by one and having them fly everywhere? LPL has levelled up! other youtube locksport channels take note! This is the new gold standard for clean and fast lock gutting
Some years ago I went on a repair call on an Medeco/Adams Rite mortice lock that had the door frame drilled at the lock flip arm.. At the time I thought the person should just go and get a job in a lock shop.
Well, Schlage created a good lock from what I could see, all those spools and drill resistance. Just because LPL can pick it in x amount of time, don't mean its crap. He's a flippin pro-expert-champ lock picker...its a decent lock...good on ya Schlage!
I feel like it's been an eternity since I've seen you actually pick and disassemble a lock. Love the new method for removing the key pins as well. Thank you.
Hey Lock Picking Lawyer. I always watch you just take apart locks with ease and denounce them for their lack of quality. You should do a video where you cover some good locks and pick those for us!
Thanks for going back to your roots... I miss the non Amazon, non stupidly made locks... Don't get me wrong it's fun to know exploits, and how to find your own...
Ffs. The lock comes in three pieces that need to be assembled. The "this side to door" sticker is on a metal plate that looks similar from either side, but can only be installed one way. And I can confirm that it was helpful.
Note of caution, the newer models have a different core on the tail end, easy to disassemble, be careful when you remove the screw holding the cylinder in place if you don’t plan ahead it may fall into the lock mechanism and then you are required to remove back cover, screws are T15’s. If you not careful pieces will fly out and then you have a cluster, not to bad to reassemble but time consuming. Great video. Phil, Areawide Locksmith
I was picking before I ever found this channel, Schlages were always a deep cut next to a shallow cut. Do you get the animosity in his voice? I've learned so much by helping people out that were getting ripped off, then somebody showed up with the same sense and made hillarious 2 minute or less videos. My hero. I was at my new job the other day where a Freightliner was in the way and the other shift took the keys home. That took 3 seconds with random things laying around to turn the cylinder and hit the button. It took longer to air up (thank you George Westinghouse) than to get started. Keep on this, you don't have to amaze anybody. Just be useful, and bend the rules sometimes.
My main disappointment with this lock is you can only set a 4 digit combo ie 10000 'differs' and is reduced if you have multiple combos (factory sets 3 and you can set several more. You can cancel or change any of them). The only person likely to pick the cylinder is a locksmith called to a lockout and he might use a bump key anyway. I was relieved that the only 'issue' was he picked it, I wondered at first if he had found some other compromise.
I find it funny they felt it necessary to imprint "This side to door" on the mounting plate. If that part of the install was confusing, maybe one should just concentrate on remembering to breathe, rather than installing a lock.

Those style locks are not popular down here. I'm used to high end commercial and government electronic security. These locks to me appear as a novely or gimmick rather than real security. Cheers for sharing. 🍺✌😎
This is the same lock that was used on the final door in an escape room I hosted once. We did have instructions not to pick the locks, not that anyone tried. It would defeat the purpose of the game and I think it would be a bit financially unwise to pay 25 bucks a head for 40 seconds of lockpicking. Also if getting out of the room fast is your goal there was an emergency door that was unlocked in case of fires, claustrophobia etc. The only time I saw someone get close to using that door was this couple who according to their conversation had spent the day engaging in large amounts of wine tasting and enchiladas. This had a significant biological effect on the husband and he was vigorously crop-dusting his wife with farts that sounded like Chewbacca reading sad poetry. Low, mournful, moan-like rumbles that went on for an uncomfortable amount of time. They had to have been fairly loud since our microphones weren't that good. After about the 5th groan of intestinal trombone solos she was threatening to leave and let him do the room himself. They eventually made it through, no doubt their eyes stinging while trying to read the clues that would free them from the ghost of enchiladas past. I can see that being a strategy to give your team motivation to solve the puzzles quicker, it just seems a little cruel. At least since I hosted that round I got to give the other guy a can of Glade and have him reset the room.
This is probably one of the greatest comments I have ever read on the Internet. Thank you for your contribution to society. 👏 Forever etched into my brain will be images of rumbling rectal blasts of sad Wookie poetry and hauntings of dearly departed enchiladas from beyond the anus.
This actually made me feel real good about my schlage encode purchase. If anything, it'll be a bit more resilient than this... And compared to some other smart locks here, looks like I basically bought gold.
@@kallewirsch2263 Yup, they made it well enough that it was able to resist a low-skill raking attack, which is more than a lot of these sorts of locks he's showed on this channel.
It's good enough in most cases for residential security. It's unlikely that a random thief who happens upon your door will be able to bump the lock open. If they really want in your house and their bump key doesn't work, they will look for other weaknesses in your security. Open window? Pet door? Unlocked cellar door? Odds are they'll move on if those attacks are not viable. If they still want in, they'll try kicking in a door or breaking a window. Steel reinforced door frame , Security film/grating on the windows, and they still want in - and haven't already alerted you, your neighbors, and/or your alarm company of the break-in attempt? Then, and only then will they most likely pull out their medium hook and tensioner.
People really need to remember how advanced LPL is at lock picking. A 50 second lock for him is going to be much much more difficult for the rest of us.
"I picked this up as part of a large lot of lock parts on Ebay, so I don't have a key to it". Huh hh Huh Huhh ….It's in the hands of the LockPickingLawyer!
I'm over here spending so much time editing videos and I realized you don't really have much to edit which is super awesome. I wish I could make videos as well put and simpe as these.
@@greendryerlint ...is a phrase often uttered in hospitals. (Yes, I know that superglue is actually a really good last-ditch option for major cuts. Let me have my joke.)
When the words "dropped into a false set" are uttered by LPL, you're in the 80'th percentile of difficulty, and a 5% bonus is applied for "counter-rotation on #" Watching the best do it, you must remind yourself that there are few "bests" out there....
I'd like to know your thoughts on the electronic part of the lock. Since this uses a KIK cylinder, if the electronics are worthy it would potentially be useful for other keyways.
A weakness of this style lock (though not electronic in nature) is that over time the code becomes significantly revealed as the screen printing on the buttons eventually begins to wear through (there is a clear coat to slow the wear, but it does not resist wear forever) if the keypad is heavily used after about 3-5 years (such as your main entry door in a multi person household). It is especially problematic with the older versions that only permitted 4 digits as after several years it would become increasingly obvious which digits were used, and how much they were used (e.g. a digit most heavily worn likely appeared twice in a code), versus which digits weren’t. Of course, if you never clean the buttons then dirt can give such away much sooner still, but that is easily remedied with the occasional wipe down. I used a similar older style Schlage deadbolt for about 10 or 12 years and on our main entry door I believe I went through 2, maybe even 3, exterior keypads in that time due to the digits becoming revealed on the most heavily used code. I’ve since changed to a newer style Schlage that uses a touch sensitive keypad (rather than buttons) with the numbers protected under clear textured plastic (for wear protection and easy cleaning) and which now supports 6 digit codes and that has performed much better so far.
@@ethanpoole3443 I use this for an Airbnb. It's been installed for about 8 months. I change the code so ea h guest gets a new unique one. Also the master code is longer and different than the entry code. There has been zero wear to date.
Hey LPL, i got an advertizement on this video for locks from “commando lock company” and they mentioned how they “engineered anti-pick technologies in the core” could you make a video on one of their products to put it to the test?
That's genuine praise. Understand that LPL has become one of the *best* at picking locks. If he's picking your lock, odds are it won't stand a chance unless you're shelling out major, major, major money to secure something. Most people need something that bars casual attacks. Unfortunately, many still don't, as LPL as shown with wave rakes, forks, spoons, and so on. But when he runs into a lock which requires genuine picking, at least these days, and which has false gates and interesting pins, and which doesn't claim to be pick-proof, he recognizes that an effort was made to make this pick-resistant
I have a very similar lock by the same brand, I got locked out and tried to pick it. The mechanical parts are not accessible from the outside of the door.
Clicked this vid pretty quick because I installed two similar to this model at work. I’m not worried because I am pretty sure the only person who would try to pick this would be me, but I know all the codes too.
I have one of these and love it. I might be concerned that you picked it, but you pick every lock. This one resides on the door between my garage and my house so any criminal would have to get past the garage door first and frankly, there are easier and faster ways into my house if they really want in. I wanted it so I didn’t have to fumble with keys when my hands were full with mail or groceries or something.
Honestly this is as close to a positive review as anything ever gets from LPL. I think you're fine. (Nothing you're getting at a hardware store is likely to keep LPL out for long)
He didn't open it with a twig, fork or spoon. You should be fine. At this point everything that doesn't have ridiculous security flaws and gets the "at least some effort" award is already pretty good.
@B real Make it a habit to push the rest of the buttons after the door opens. Or do like Mike said and change your combo periodically (nobody will actually do that - just like they don't change passwords).

However, after some looking on eBay, it's cheaper to get some parts from wholesale suppliers. A lot of eBay sellers have stupid prices.
@@pmgodfrey The sellers don't have stupid prices, the bidders have stupid maximums, often because they found out that someone on e-bay is talking about what they bought on e-bay, and the bidder can't help themselves, they just Have to Have That Item. It usually is a spike that looks like a fresh game console got released...

@@arletottens6349 Easy mistake to make yo
One has to wonder about the IQ of some installers that have obviously contacted their support team in the past.....
As a person who has a type of lock like this, it's actually very helpful. It's actually just a metal plate you install first and both sides look very similar, so it's nice to know which side gets pressed to the door first.
@@srshama wow, great input. i'm glad there's a rational reason
I have no ability to "pick" a lock open but I do love watching this guy as he opens every lock thrown at him. I follow him on tictok.
Those style locks are not popular down here. I'm used to high end commercial and government electronic security. These locks to me appear as a novely or gimmick rather than real security. Cheers for sharing. 🍺✌😎
This is the same lock that was used on the final door in an escape room I hosted once. We did have instructions not to pick the locks, not that anyone tried. It would defeat the purpose of the game and I think it would be a bit financially unwise to pay 25 bucks a head for 40 seconds of lockpicking. Also if getting out of the room fast is your goal there was an emergency door that was unlocked in case of fires, claustrophobia etc. The only time I saw someone get close to using that door was this couple who according to their conversation had spent the day engaging in large amounts of wine tasting and enchiladas. This had a significant biological effect on the husband and he was vigorously crop-dusting his wife with farts that sounded like Chewbacca reading sad poetry. Low, mournful, moan-like rumbles that went on for an uncomfortable amount of time. They had to have been fairly loud since our microphones weren't that good. After about the 5th groan of intestinal trombone solos she was threatening to leave and let him do the room himself. They eventually made it through, no doubt their eyes stinging while trying to read the clues that would free them from the ghost of enchiladas past. I can see that being a strategy to give your team motivation to solve the puzzles quicker, it just seems a little cruel. At least since I hosted that round I got to give the other guy a can of Glade and have him reset the room.
This is probably one of the greatest comments I have ever read on the Internet. Thank you for your contribution to society. 👏 Forever etched into my brain will be images of rumbling rectal blasts of sad Wookie poetry and hauntings of dearly departed enchiladas from beyond the anus.
"This is the LockPickingLa... and it's unlocked"
Been waiting for this model, great vid
This actually made me feel real good about my schlage encode purchase. If anything, it'll be a bit more resilient than this... And compared to some other smart locks here, looks like I basically bought gold.
It’s nice to see him dismantle a lock core again!
Sees a four minute video: Wow! Must be good! *sees picked AND gutted* Oh, wait, never mind.
Better than most of these sorts of electronic combination locks, at least.
I had the same thoughts. Apparently Master lock made this .
The fact, that he actually picked it and did not use some ridiculous method is actually telling
@@kallewirsch2263 Yup, they made it well enough that it was able to resist a low-skill raking attack, which is more than a lot of these sorts of locks he's showed on this channel.
It's good enough in most cases for residential security. It's unlikely that a random thief who happens upon your door will be able to bump the lock open. If they really want in your house and their bump key doesn't work, they will look for other weaknesses in your security. Open window? Pet door? Unlocked cellar door? Odds are they'll move on if those attacks are not viable. If they still want in, they'll try kicking in a door or breaking a window. Steel reinforced door frame , Security film/grating on the windows, and they still want in - and haven't already alerted you, your neighbors, and/or your alarm company of the break-in attempt? Then, and only then will they most likely pull out their medium hook and tensioner.
Thanks to this guy I’ve broke into so many home!!!
I sure am glad you're one of the good guys.
People really need to remember how advanced LPL is at lock picking. A 50 second lock for him is going to be much much more difficult for the rest of us.
"I picked this up as part of a large lot of lock parts on Ebay, so I don't have a key to it".
Huh hh Huh Huhh ….It's in the hands of the LockPickingLawyer!
I'm over here spending so much time editing videos and I realized you don't really have much to edit which is super awesome. I wish I could make videos as well put and simpe as these.
Nice picking. I like a couple things about this lock, security pins and simple access to the KiK cylinder.
Thought about gluing my key holes then realized LPL isn't the guy, it's some dude who's just gonna kick adjacent window or French doors in.
Never glue any of your holes. It's something you'll end up regretting..
Atwolf Geetler
I just buy digital locks that don't use keys.
@@greendryerlint ...is a phrase often uttered in hospitals.
(Yes, I know that superglue is actually a really good last-ditch option for major cuts. Let me have my joke.)
I used to tell my clients "Your most secure doors are only as good as the closest window."
When the words "dropped into a false set" are uttered by LPL, you're in the 80'th percentile of difficulty, and a 5% bonus is applied for "counter-rotation on #"
Watching the best do it, you must remind yourself that there are few "bests" out there....
Michael Free I took a lock picking class by one of the best in the world, this guy is better.
I am SO happy you became a lawyer and not a dentist
I have had this for the last 12 years I love it. Definitely worth for anyone who loses their house key or had kids that may lose it aswell
lpl became a lawyer so he could defend himself in court for all the break in accusations
He is an actual lawyer in real life - www.art-of-lockpicking.com/interview-with-the-lock-picking-lawyer/

I'd like to know your thoughts on the electronic part of the lock. Since this uses a KIK cylinder, if the electronics are worthy it would potentially be useful for other keyways.
A weakness of this style lock (though not electronic in nature) is that over time the code becomes significantly revealed as the screen printing on the buttons eventually begins to wear through (there is a clear coat to slow the wear, but it does not resist wear forever) if the keypad is heavily used after about 3-5 years (such as your main entry door in a multi person household). It is especially problematic with the older versions that only permitted 4 digits as after several years it would become increasingly obvious which digits were used, and how much they were used (e.g. a digit most heavily worn likely appeared twice in a code), versus which digits weren’t. Of course, if you never clean the buttons then dirt can give such away much sooner still, but that is easily remedied with the occasional wipe down. I used a similar older style Schlage deadbolt for about 10 or 12 years and on our main entry door I believe I went through 2, maybe even 3, exterior keypads in that time due to the digits becoming revealed on the most heavily used code. I’ve since changed to a newer style Schlage that uses a touch sensitive keypad (rather than buttons) with the numbers protected under clear textured plastic (for wear protection and easy cleaning) and which now supports 6 digit codes and that has performed much better so far.
@@ethanpoole3443 I have one of these and after about 7 years there is no visible wear to the numbers on the keypad, and it is used on a front door.
I have one as well for 5 years. No visible signs. Might be your cleaners you’re using or the continuous wiping
I have had mine 8 years no wear whatsoever
@@ethanpoole3443 I use this for an Airbnb. It's been installed for about 8 months. I change the code so ea h guest gets a new unique one. Also the master code is longer and different than the entry code. There has been zero wear to date.
I like these straight-forward pick-and-gut videos too; I appreciate that you still create them.
I like the fact that it's a standard core so you can easily replace it with something more secure if necessary
This seems obvious, but are you a lawyer that just picks locks as a hobby?
I think at this point, the legal work is now his hobby :D
No, he's a lock picker that lawyers as a hobby
It's his backup strategy, in case he doesn't get his client off the hook...
He's actually just cybernetic hands and a voice run by an AI. There is no human, clearly.

Schlage's Motto: "If it says Schlage, you Know you're Getting In!" ("We're Better than Master?")
😎Excellent as always LPL.thanks for great video. 😎
I love how you must be one of the few people on Earth who buys locks without keys like it doesn’t even matter....
If I was your neighbor
I might as well just remove my door
Just get steel doors and weld them shut! Would take longer to cut them open then!!

@@Megatron995 Well, get 1/2" thick polycarb windows that don't open, or just live underground!
Hey LPL, i got an advertizement on this video for locks from “commando lock company” and they mentioned how they “engineered anti-pick technologies in the core” could you make a video on one of their products to put it to the test?
Yay! A lock worth taking apart! Great vid too.
You're my hero!! I got a simple starter kit on amazon.
“So Schlage made some effort at pick resistance”
I love LPL’s passive-aggressive sarcastic digs.
Nothing passive aggressive about it.
That's genuine praise. Understand that LPL has become one of the *best* at picking locks. If he's picking your lock, odds are it won't stand a chance unless you're shelling out major, major, major money to secure something. Most people need something that bars casual attacks. Unfortunately, many still don't, as LPL as shown with wave rakes, forks, spoons, and so on. But when he runs into a lock which requires genuine picking, at least these days, and which has false gates and interesting pins, and which doesn't claim to be pick-proof, he recognizes that an effort was made to make this pick-resistant
I wonder if this lock could be bypassed by sticking a pick into the gap around the handle and actuating whatever linkage couples the handle?
No
I have a very similar lock by the same brand, I got locked out and tried to pick it. The mechanical parts are not accessible from the outside of the door.
Thumbs up for gutting locks again!
Always nice to have the right tools.
Will "Nice click!" be LockPickingLawyer's "Nice hiss!" from SteveMRE.
"Honey, there's someone at the door....Do you know anything about a 'Clicking' sound? =))
"honey, there's a man outside our door, mumbling something like "nothing on one, binding on two...."
Clicked this vid pretty quick because I installed two similar to this model at work. I’m not worried because I am pretty sure the only person who would try to pick this would be me, but I know all the codes too.
I have one of these and love it. I might be concerned that you picked it, but you pick every lock. This one resides on the door between my garage and my house so any criminal would have to get past the garage door first and frankly, there are easier and faster ways into my house if they really want in. I wanted it so I didn’t have to fumble with keys when my hands were full with mail or groceries or something.
"Picked and Gutted" these days is another way of saying it's a good enough lock
Crap I just bought 3 of these for my house. Just installed them yesterday. 😂
Did you follow the instructions 'This Side To Door'?
Honestly this is as close to a positive review as anything ever gets from LPL. I think you're fine. (Nothing you're getting at a hardware store is likely to keep LPL out for long)
He didn't open it with a twig, fork or spoon. You should be fine. At this point everything that doesn't have ridiculous security flaws and gets the "at least some effort" award is already pretty good.
@B real you can always change the combination to a different code number after the buttons are worn down
@B real Make it a habit to push the rest of the buttons after the door opens. Or do like Mike said and change your combo periodically (nobody will actually do that - just like they don't change passwords).
Love your videos. To the point.
That flex at the beginning, "I don't have a key to it"..."we'll see what it takes to pick this open" 😂
