Not uncommon in countries with good locks as standard. That ANSI grade 2 hardware looked tiny compared to the hardware we use on doors with no locks. Importing foreign door mechanisms could be a major upgrade for US doors even with their weak lock cylinders.
Love it. the lock has not been picked by anyone that I know of and the company adds a second row of pins. This is how it should be proactive not reactive.
Seems to me the second row makes it easier to pick, because it opens up the front of the ward more and adds a second slot in the core. Of course, I guess you could mitigate that by having the pins at an angle other than 12 or 6 'o clock.

After watching LPL for a while I’ve been thinking on how would I engineer a more secure lock, often fancy, over complicated and intricate contraptions; however, after seeing this design being so simple inside made me remember why I’m not an engineer and appreciate simple “out of the box” solutions are always the better choice
@@Kawka1122 When it doubt: breacher choke on a pump shotgun and three hi-brass shells. Who cares about a lock when you can just blow the hinges off? >=) If the obvious method of entry is too difficult to overcome, then rest assured that there is an easier way somewhere else...just have to determine what that is.
@@MrAntice Well, I heard of _one_ burglary where the "entrepreneurs" climbed balconies. In all other cases, the point of entry is the front door. That's why over here in Europe "anti-burglary" doors with safe-like hinges and bolts all over are very popular, but I think that our favorite lockpick would make very short work of most of their locks. Of course, in single-family houses (or anything else on the ground floor or not much higher) windows are vulnerable.
@@DianaProudmoore My family house came with metal bars already installed ...and so do all the neighbors who live in this area. There used to be gang activity here, unfortunately. On a brighter note, because every house here has every window and door reinforced with bars break-ins stopped completely!
@@MrYeahyuhhh if you see the key its possible to just recreate it (assuming accuracy ofc). Same applies to disassembly, you can just check the positions of the pins and construct a key
@@matthewmcewen1 But if you have access to the key then you should just use it? A lock like this will be attached to a steel door, probably in the back of a business where money is counted.
@@hansolo631 obviously that would be a better idea if possible. By "seeing" the key, I mean getting photography of it, or somehow remembering the design or bidding but not being able to get full access to the key. For example, LPL has protected the key the key to his personal lock from the viewers to make sure we don't copy the bidding visually, doxx him and then steal his bike. All I mean is that seeing the key OR stealing it will be the best way to get in.
Mr Master Lock lives in a big house and has a flashy car. And Walmart sells all kinds of shit - both could change tack, but why bother when cheap and nasty flies off the shelf?
I appreciate the brilliance of this lock, from a firefighting/ forceable entry perspective, unless you put it in a steel door with a steel frame you are wasting your money. Residential doors take less than a minute to force, they are inherently weaker than just about any lock on the market
Even so people still find comfort in the only means of forced entry being either noisy or time consuming. The goal is less to guarantee keeping people out and more to give you better odds of noticing someone is breaking in so you can react.
I think it's more about stealth. After all padlocks can be as difficult to pick as you like. But I bet my angle grinder would beat em. If you live in a country where you need an unbeatable lock in a steel door. I would advise moving 😂
@@nickdimartino7796 Don't even need steel doors, aluminium doors would probably be fine, good luck bashing that open , only a grinder is really going to work, and that would take ages too. Although you also have to have a good door frame, a chain is as strong as it's weakest link as they say.
That cylinder is exactly 782% more secure than the doors I'd likely install it in... I can't wait for the padlocks though. I wonder what the street price will be? And how long before crappy reverse-engineered clones are being defeated by LPL?
Dunno about where you live, but ordinary burglars rarely bother with picking. They are too stupid to do that. This one will be opened with a sledgehammer or a prying tool or a drill (btw I didn't see ANY protection from drilling. Or just filled with epoxy and opened once the owners replace it with another temporary lock or stop locking it.
The closest robbers get to 'lock picking' is the 'credit card trick', where they use a piece of a credit card to wedge open the latch. (Doesn't work with deadbolts, obviously.) Failing that, they usually break a window to open the deadbolt. Very subtle, right?
People don't put locks like these as a sole security solution. A lock like this is a single piece among tens if not hundreds of other security components working together obviously. Which means, that this lock protects something that has windows that cannot be broken. Also, goodluck smashing this lock with a sledgehammer or tampering with it in any other way with all the cameras and sensors around. Not to mention the door that would house such a lock would be top tier as well. To assume that owners who went through all this would not replace the doors / lock when out of service is ridiculous as well.
I am kind of curious to see how you store all your locks and tools. I like to think you have display shelves for your favorite locks, and a room filled with your collection.
Very ingenious. As a non-lock-picker who is just fascinated by LPL's videos, I have to say that it looks like a recipe for a jamming lock to me. Now I have to say that it is more important to me that I can always open my front door or padlock than that some bad guy is unable to pick it - maybe my priorities are wrong. But tolerances that tight, mechanisms that intricate, metal that thin, I just think that within a couple of years I am bound to end up locked out. I mean, door jambs are never, ever, stable - wood moves, foundations move, you always end up having to use force with the key to move the hardware. One 6 thou piece of grit or corrosion will prevent it turning at all. Over the years I have been burgled, I have had valuable stuff taken from my cars, but never by picking - just by breaking and entering. And I can definitely say that I have had far more trouble from non-opening locks than insecure locks. Still, very clever.
A lock like this would be better used indoors for a server room where the climate is controlled, there are no windows and the door frame is made of metal. That should keep all the tolerances the same. And of course if something did go wrong, since you own the property you can always pay to have someone drill or grind through the lock in an emergency.
Yeah locks are just for the simple aversion. A defense against curiosity but not intent. But in theory I could design a lock in the same fashion and use some more corrosive resistant metals (Which I work with daily as I work on boat-riggings and others... The metal is extremely tough, extremely corrosive resistant and overall expensive). Heh, if I had any mind for security I might actually use that to start my own business xD
If you need such a lock, you presumably care enough about what it is protecting to invest a bit of time into maintaining the lock and its door. It's a mechanism, all mechanisms are prone to wear and jams unless you check, clean, lube and repair them at regular intervals.
@thisnicklldo. I agree - it's not practical for several reasons. It's gonna catch on clothes, and is more prone to breaking, but what a beautiful, elegant design.
Don't be misled by appearance. Right now, you are probably using a brass key when you force a sticky/jammed lock. This thing is high-tensile steel. The key is also much thicker than anything you are using now, really hard to bend, harder to break. The inside of the lock is stupidly robust and there is zero thin metal anywhere. (Also, in my experience, good machined tolerances are less likely to gum up with corrosion or grit than stuff with a loose fit.)
This lock could also be fitted with many different anti-tamper features such as completing an electrcal alarm circuit if the back of the drum was touched in the wrong place or the zero-lift pin touched the top of it's chamber
Pretty sure the zero-lift pin wouldn't work because of the extra rotating cylinder in the lock mechanism that keeps all the pins fully pressed inward until the key or tensioner rotates it 180 degrees.
*Remember:* you are probably not safe just because you have bought a monster lock like this, because it is probably easier to go in through the (metaphorical?) window, (and now you have a bunch of extra glass to clean up).
+Sion yes, but a lot fewer criminals would be willing to break in through a window rather than a lock on the front door. Breaking in through a window is a lot more noticeable so quite a few people would turn away after realizing they couldnt get in through picking [or breaking] the lock on the front door. Thats a good thing though. means you moved the weakness of your security from your front door lock to something like a window already making you not worth the effort compared to someone who has a much easier front door lock they can just break into.
There are some downsides though 1: the key looks really flimsy. And if the lockpicklawyer cant open it, your local locksmith wont be abled to help you either, especially because he probably wont have the blanks to replace the key. 2: If you ever give the key to someone else (to look after pets or whatever) youll also have to give them a users manual because its so cmplicated to open even with the key.
I truly wonder how many thieves have skills beyond cutting the lock (or chain) that would lead them to immediately seek other methods of destructive entry (eg breaching door jambs, hinge removal, etc.) An impenetrable lock - while important of course - would just mean efforts at entry become more simplistic and destructive. All of which points to the importance of hardening all areas of ingress plus monitoring. Fantastic content and perhaps the most educational channel on YT. As a lawyer I guess most of his cases are open and shut...😏
I don’t care if they break in and steal stuff, I’ve got good insurance. But insurance often won’t cover a picked lock break in since there’s no proof and they’ll assume insurance fraud. If there’s destructive entry you’re pretty much guaranteed to be covered by insurance, and that’s what matters to me.
I saved this, because of the countless vids I’ve seen here, THIS one’s the ONLY one I’d buy for my own home. Sounds like a superlative company. Hats off to em! 👏👏
Stuff Made Here made a couple of great locks... but this is WAY beyond those. I'd even guess that that forthcoming Bowler was a response to his second lock.
@@davidsloat1016 His locks are still far more prototypes. They do work on similar principles of needing rotation to test the key, but in this lock's case, the entire pin and sheer line thing is offset while stuff made here's lock has only the sheer line offset.
Thank you again. I am no Locksmith, but strangely enough, we moved into a house that was owned by one and we still get Locksmith mail. My skills are in engineering and I love the videos (long or short) on all these wonderful mechanisms. So much of this knowledge carries over into all sorts of latches, fasteners, and other containment systems.
Very interesting lock - hiding the pins from the picker! 6:05 that sleeve also relieves the stresses on the key because in the sleeve the flying bit cannot bend.
Another very informative video that is equally interesting to watch. Your style and presentation methods makes your vids easy to watch in its entirety. What a fantastic looking lock in its pick resistance aspects I'm wondering if it is just as robust in brute force type of attacks. I'm looking forward to your future insights regarding Bowly Locks and how they will fare to all of your ingenious methods. Thank you so much..
Wow. This is the first lock i have seen lpl not be able to pick and the fact that you would literally have to know what the key looks like and make a copy in a workshop just goes to show how secure this thing is.
Try a stack of 2 flexible memory steel shims, cut very thin. One flat, with holes, and one set stamped to match the zero lift pin.. They should slide all the way down a hollow key frame, and wrap around a u shaped bend at the end of a hollow key. The first shim is to find the zero lift pin. Punch holes in the memory steel shims. 5 combinations of shim 1 which is flat, until you know which is the zero lift. It should feel more 'bindy when you turn the shim and hollow key together past the very rounded pins.' Now, using the stamped set of shims, use them to bump with a low spot in the right place.
10:01 50 Thousandths of an inch threw me off there a bit, but it's actually just a twentieth (1/20) of an inch or about 1.25mm. It sounds a lot more impressive as a tolerance when you say thousandths though.
@@MatthewCampbell765 Yeah this is the reason I use no lock for my bunker. I found it is more safe to place an armed guard at the entry to open manually the hydraulic door.

How about a continuous or quick pulsed high pressure stream of compressed air with a key blank inserted for tension? Pushes key and driver pins past the shear line.
@@literallyglados not really. it is not much louder than dropping a plate and shattering it. and he probably would do it when owner isnt home. neighbours wouldnt notice
@@wojtekpolska1013 depends, they've got antitheft glass windows/doors that deliberately shatter EXTREMELY loudly, designed to alert the entire block to a break in. It's cheaper than shatter/bullet resistant.
Or most cheap security systems have sensors specially tuned to the sound of breaking glass. So you break the window and the alarm goes off. They dont sit on the window either. Their generally mounted to a wall and pointed at the window. And they can tell the difference between you dropping and breaking a cup, or the window breaking as they make different sounds. Its pretty all pretty neat. And I also mean cheap systems that you pay like $60-$80/month for.
I wonder if you could design some sort of electronic picking tool which used something akin to a phonograph cartridge, allowing you to generate different sound waves in order to very accurately vibrate the pins. You could then use trial and error by sweeping through the frequency ranges and effectively decode the lock and end up with an electronic key recording which would then on repeated uses defeat the lock almost instantly. After that, specific ranges of locks could have rainbow tables built for them allowing for an even faster brute force attack. And since such tiny transducers work in both ways, you could potentially sound out a lock to discover what type of pins were where by putting the device in a record mode and then just smacking the lock body with a hammer a few times or something.
The Russian police have a technique that they use very often, because heavy steel doors with multiple locks are quite common even on apartments. Cut the entire door out of the wall with a two-stroke 16 in disc cutter.
True, but imagine the publicity a thief would get when the while neighborhood is outside watching a man with a two stroke 100db machine cutting the Smiths door off. This Lock would force a thief to do something else to gain entry into a home that others would pick up on or allow the homeowner to know that someone was in fact inside the house.
Sometimes you habe to actually *BREAK* to enter. I could also see pocket lint getting stuck in the key and jaming the lock up long before 250K uses. Also many dead bolts dont always fall into place with precision so a few years of an extra 1/2 newton locking and unlocking is probably going to wear the key out long before the lock. It is an awesome design forsure.
I'm always asking myself if you can't just replace those electric tools by a "compressed air gun", blocking pins by pressure combining little tap and tension tool. Great video.
I clicked on this video initially because I like the simplicity of the keyhole, and due to your glowing review checked out their site. Sadly, the locks sell for $130 minimum, so I doubt even my home insurance would approve replacing it if something went wrong
nail on the head. when trying to defeat security, one looks for the easiest way in. figure out how it works, then how to defeat it. so, why do people break into things? what are the most obvious reasons? and consequently, how do we defeat those reasons? for my money, the most obvious are: - material need (either food/clothes etc. or valuables to trade for them) - entertainment or challenge (some people get a rush out of it) - revenge (breakups, divorces, ex-business partners etc.) - protest (political, injustice etc. - sometimes to meet a specific goal and sometimes purely as a destructive action to voice dissent) a society that's more secure physically, emotionally, in rights and freedoms, food and shelter etc. would go a long way to defeating some of those reasons

Plot twist: people at Bowley have been watching LPL's channel for years before engineering this lock.

@@sanssheriff3829 Didn't you know? It's the most common reason behind the Master Lock employees' suicides.
Love it. the lock has not been picked by anyone that I know of and the company adds a second row of pins. This is how it should be proactive not reactive.
Aren't they reacting though?
Seems to me the second row makes it easier to pick, because it opens up the front of the ward more and adds a second slot in the core. Of course, I guess you could mitigate that by having the pins at an angle other than 12 or 6 'o clock.

After watching LPL for a while I’ve been thinking on how would I engineer a more secure lock, often fancy, over complicated and intricate contraptions; however, after seeing this design being so simple inside made me remember why I’m not an engineer and appreciate simple “out of the box” solutions are always the better choice
I am legitimately impressed... this is actually really smart as opposed to the "more" approach other locks makers have...

Me, who will probably never pick a lock in my life: Fascinating. Very fascinating.
Impressive, very nice.
Now let's see Paul Allen's lock.
I appreciate the brilliance of this lock, from a firefighting/ forceable entry perspective, unless you put it in a steel door with a steel frame you are wasting your money. Residential doors take less than a minute to force, they are inherently weaker than just about any lock on the market
Even so people still find comfort in the only means of forced entry being either noisy or time consuming. The goal is less to guarantee keeping people out and more to give you better odds of noticing someone is breaking in so you can react.
I mean, if you were so inclined there are definitely steel doors that look nice
I think it's more about stealth. After all padlocks can be as difficult to pick as you like. But I bet my angle grinder would beat em.
If you live in a country where you need an unbeatable lock in a steel door. I would advise moving 😂
@@nickdimartino7796 Don't even need steel doors, aluminium doors would probably be fine, good luck bashing that open , only a grinder is really going to work, and that would take ages too. Although you also have to have a good door frame, a chain is as strong as it's weakest link as they say.
That cylinder is exactly 782% more secure than the doors I'd likely install it in...
I can't wait for the padlocks though. I wonder what the street price will be? And how long before crappy reverse-engineered clones are being defeated by LPL?
Dunno about where you live, but ordinary burglars rarely bother with picking. They are too stupid to do that.
This one will be opened with a sledgehammer or a prying tool or a drill (btw I didn't see ANY protection from drilling. Or just filled with epoxy and opened once the owners replace it with another temporary lock or stop locking it.
The closest robbers get to 'lock picking' is the 'credit card trick', where they use a piece of a credit card to wedge open the latch. (Doesn't work with deadbolts, obviously.) Failing that, they usually break a window to open the deadbolt. Very subtle, right?
People don't put locks like these as a sole security solution. A lock like this is a single piece among tens if not hundreds of other security components working together obviously. Which means, that this lock protects something that has windows that cannot be broken. Also, goodluck smashing this lock with a sledgehammer or tampering with it in any other way with all the cameras and sensors around. Not to mention the door that would house such a lock would be top tier as well. To assume that owners who went through all this would not replace the doors / lock when out of service is ridiculous as well.
RENOVATIO thieves wouldn't be smashing the lock with the sledgehammer...they'd be knocking the door in.

Very ingenious. As a non-lock-picker who is just fascinated by LPL's videos, I have to say that it looks like a recipe for a jamming lock to me. Now I have to say that it is more important to me that I can always open my front door or padlock than that some bad guy is unable to pick it - maybe my priorities are wrong. But tolerances that tight, mechanisms that intricate, metal that thin, I just think that within a couple of years I am bound to end up locked out. I mean, door jambs are never, ever, stable - wood moves, foundations move, you always end up having to use force with the key to move the hardware. One 6 thou piece of grit or corrosion will prevent it turning at all. Over the years I have been burgled, I have had valuable stuff taken from my cars, but never by picking - just by breaking and entering. And I can definitely say that I have had far more trouble from non-opening locks than insecure locks. Still, very clever.
A lock like this would be better used indoors for a server room where the climate is controlled, there are no windows and the door frame is made of metal. That should keep all the tolerances the same. And of course if something did go wrong, since you own the property you can always pay to have someone drill or grind through the lock in an emergency.
Yeah locks are just for the simple aversion. A defense against curiosity but not intent.
But in theory I could design a lock in the same fashion and use some more corrosive resistant metals (Which I work with daily as I work on boat-riggings and others... The metal is extremely tough, extremely corrosive resistant and overall expensive).
Heh, if I had any mind for security I might actually use that to start my own business xD
If you need such a lock, you presumably care enough about what it is protecting to invest a bit of time into maintaining the lock and its door. It's a mechanism, all mechanisms are prone to wear and jams unless you check, clean, lube and repair them at regular intervals.
@thisnicklldo. I agree - it's not practical for several reasons. It's gonna catch on clothes, and is more prone to breaking, but what a beautiful, elegant design.
Don't be misled by appearance. Right now, you are probably using a brass key when you force a sticky/jammed lock. This thing is high-tensile steel. The key is also much thicker than anything you are using now, really hard to bend, harder to break. The inside of the lock is stupidly robust and there is zero thin metal anywhere.
(Also, in my experience, good machined tolerances are less likely to gum up with corrosion or grit than stuff with a loose fit.)

LockPickingLawyer
Left unspoken: _"...so far."_
Soo... This video is now 4 years old. I wonder if he's found a way to pick that lock by now.
This lock could also be fitted with many different anti-tamper features such as completing an electrcal alarm circuit if the back of the drum was touched in the wrong place or the zero-lift pin touched the top of it's chamber
Pretty sure the zero-lift pin wouldn't work because of the extra rotating cylinder in the lock mechanism that keeps all the pins fully pressed inward until the key or tensioner rotates it 180 degrees.
this is hands down the most impressive lock ive seen on this channel.
*Remember:* you are probably not safe just because you have bought a monster lock like this, because it is probably easier to go in through the (metaphorical?) window, (and now you have a bunch of extra glass to clean up).
Yep. Even window security bars are a convenient place to hook a chain to your pickup truck, pulling out your masonry.
+Sion yes, but a lot fewer criminals would be willing to break in through a window rather than a lock on the front door. Breaking in through a window is a lot more noticeable so quite a few people would turn away after realizing they couldnt get in through picking [or breaking] the lock on the front door.
Thats a good thing though. means you moved the weakness of your security from your front door lock to something like a window already making you not worth the effort compared to someone who has a much easier front door lock they can just break into.
The whole point of putting security on you stuff is so the guy next to you looks like a better target then you

I truly wonder how many thieves have skills beyond cutting the lock (or chain) that would lead them to immediately seek other methods of destructive entry (eg breaching door jambs, hinge removal, etc.) An impenetrable lock - while important of course - would just mean efforts at entry become more simplistic and destructive. All of which points to the importance of hardening all areas of ingress plus monitoring. Fantastic content and perhaps the most educational channel on YT. As a lawyer I guess most of his cases are open and shut...😏
Put a titanium door and let the thief just smash his way in through the walls
I don’t care if they break in and steal stuff, I’ve got good insurance. But insurance often won’t cover a picked lock break in since there’s no proof and they’ll assume insurance fraud. If there’s destructive entry you’re pretty much guaranteed to be covered by insurance, and that’s what matters to me.

Wow. This is the first lock i have seen lpl not be able to pick and the fact that you would literally have to know what the key looks like and make a copy in a workshop just goes to show how secure this thing is.
Try a stack of 2 flexible memory steel shims, cut very thin. One flat, with holes, and one set stamped to match the zero lift pin.. They should slide all the way down a hollow key frame, and wrap around a u shaped bend at the end of a hollow key. The first shim is to find the zero lift pin. Punch holes in the memory steel shims. 5 combinations of shim 1 which is flat, until you know which is the zero lift. It should feel more 'bindy when you turn the shim and hollow key together past the very rounded pins.' Now, using the stamped set of shims, use them to bump with a low spot in the right place.

Or its also requiring a key inside as well.
Or most cheap security systems have sensors specially tuned to the sound of breaking glass. So you break the window and the alarm goes off. They dont sit on the window either. Their generally mounted to a wall and pointed at the window. And they can tell the difference between you dropping and breaking a cup, or the window breaking as they make different sounds.

@@Matt_10203 Durr, because he originally said it was 1.3 when it's actually 1.27, do try and keep up
I wonder if you could design some sort of electronic picking tool which used something akin to a phonograph cartridge, allowing you to generate different sound waves in order to very accurately vibrate the pins. You could then use trial and error by sweeping through the frequency ranges and effectively decode the lock and end up with an electronic key recording which would then on repeated uses defeat the lock almost instantly. After that, specific ranges of locks could have rainbow tables built for them allowing for an even faster brute force attack.
And since such tiny transducers work in both ways, you could potentially sound out a lock to discover what type of pins were where by putting the device in a record mode and then just smacking the lock body with a hammer a few times or something.
The Russian police have a technique that they use very often, because heavy steel doors with multiple locks are quite common even on apartments. Cut the entire door out of the wall with a two-stroke 16 in disc cutter.
True, but imagine the publicity a thief would get when the while neighborhood is outside watching a man with a two stroke 100db machine cutting the Smiths door off. This Lock would force a thief to do something else to gain entry into a home that others would pick up on or allow the homeowner to know that someone was in fact inside the house.

I could also see pocket lint getting stuck in the key and jaming the lock up long before 250K uses.
Also many dead bolts dont always fall into place with precision so a few years of an extra 1/2 newton locking and unlocking is probably going to wear the key out long before the lock.
It is an awesome design forsure.

Excellent lock, even better review of it. The fact I didn't hear "and we got this open" says it all
loved the video, amazing puzzle. I think if we had ""a more secure society"" we''d need less locks.
nail on the head. when trying to defeat security, one looks for the easiest way in. figure out how it works, then how to defeat it. so, why do people break into things? what are the most obvious reasons? and consequently, how do we defeat those reasons?
for my money, the most obvious are:
- material need (either food/clothes etc. or valuables to trade for them)
- entertainment or challenge (some people get a rush out of it)
- revenge (breakups, divorces, ex-business partners etc.)
- protest (political, injustice etc. - sometimes to meet a specific goal and sometimes purely as a destructive action to voice dissent)
a society that's more secure physically, emotionally, in rights and freedoms, food and shelter etc. would go a long way to defeating some of those reasons
I wonder if you could "bump" this open with blasts of high pressured air.
I would think the 0 pin would still keep you out even if you could successfully move the pins.
