For those of you who missed out on the last round of Lishi tools and Covert Companions over on www.covertinstruments.com, I thought you might like to know that we’re now accepting a limited number of preorders on the next batches, which are currently in production. Order now and you can avoid the rush when they arrive. 👍
@@renakunisaki I also through it might be a very odd definition of pick proof, like you never got to picking as it opened before ;) But the name variant was close :)
Watched one of his video's for the first time after TH-cam had been recommending me one for months now, and he is like the Bob Ross of lockpickers, or the BigClive among lockpickers to me, this was superenjoyable to watch :).
@@nick012000 You realize that no one had created all these auto-pickers, various carbon steel tension rods, (they had shitty ones that would break IN the lock for sure...) and other tools for picking locks; so back 30+ years ago AT THE TIME no one would have actually picked this lock due to the lack of skills and tools, most would cut it off to get in.
I think he’s done some videos explaining how he picks the locks, but basically he’s turning the thing to bind the pins against the edge of the lock; a ‘click’ means the pin has been moved into the correct position, moving freely I believe means that it’s not fully against the wall under tension and another pin is binding, and ‘binding’ means it’s preventing the turn but not moving The actual process is simply turning the lock with a tension wrench to hold the pins against the wall then using the pick to move them until they click into place, allowing the lock to move (I don’t know how to pick locks this is just what I’ve picked up from his videos)
Do you really think that he is using keys? My friend started with lockpicking and after two months or so he stopped carrying his keys, because they were just way too heavy. Only exception was car key. And with standard lock used pretty much everywhere in my country he wasn't much slower than somebody with key. I would say that if I have to find the correct key out of keyring with 8 keys, he is about as quick.
@@aaronasencio9459 Man why would LPL pick other people's houses? I'm sure he earns a great amount from his TH-cam and that it'd be really unnecessary to be a criminal for him
I’m still amazed that in under 5 minutes he can describe the lock and discuss the company that made it, pick the lock, dismantle the lock and then discuss the inner workings of the lock. Super impressed as always.

So nice to see an "oldschool" lpl video. We don't see the pinning tray as often.

Thanks for the refreshing return to your roots for your core fans. You taught me well over half of what I know about the subject and I am eternally grateful.
As a member of that larger audience, there's actually a lot of appeal to the lock-dismantling bits. We may miss some of the implications of the design or manufacturing choices, but it's never boring to see the inside of something as detailed as a lock.
@@Amanda-C. I didn't recognize this lock type, but I enjoy the dismantling bits. Although i wish he had put a little more explanation on the lock type, or maybe an i card or the video number for reference. but this was really cool to see! Those pins have pins in them?!?
@@nullvoid3545 If you search his channel for 'pin in pin' there is more pick and guts. Also most of the mul-t-lock videos have pin in pin plus other security features.
Regarding being pick-proof: Any lock that can be opened with a key can be picked; it is just a matter of having the right tools, the right technique and enough time to do the job. If you want a lock that can not be picked, you will pretty much have to jam or weld the thing. This principle applies to electronic access as much as it does to physical locks, well except for the welding part.
Sounds like his video on the Valenties heart lock, which has no keyhole, supposedly will be permanently locked once closed. Even that he was able to shim open quite easily. In such he said he once put a Valentines lock on a bridge with his wife, and welded it.
I think a pick proof lock is a bad idea. What if I lock myself out of my house or car. Then I have to do serious damage to the windows or doors to get in. Not even a locksmith would be able to help.

@@lindafryer4515 You seriously underestimate how good he is at making it look easy. I'm a sports picker myself and I have maybe 4 hours on average a week, for some 6 years, of practice. If LPL takes 20-30 seconds to pick a lock it takes me 4-7 minutes to pick it.. sitting comfortably at my desk where I can rest my elbows.. with the lock in a vice. Without my heart racing because I might get caught. So here's the kicker - which is backed up by law enforcement statements and insurance companies: Locks do not get picked in the wild unless they're the absolute crappiest Chinese "gym locker" type that you can wiggle open with a popsickle stick. And the reason is simple: It takes a world class picker 20-30 seconds to do something a thief can do with a bolt cutter, a cordless angle grinder, or a crow bar in 5-10 seconds. In theft time-of-exposure is the end-all-be-all. And neither of those methods takes years and years of dedicated practice. And neither of those methods require you to be calm and deeply sensing the minute little sensations the pick sends to your fingertips. Your line of thinking, though, is common enough that the lock sports community has a code of honour surrounding this: We generally do not disclose publicly what can't be done more effectively with brute force. This means that you won't see a sports picker show you how to bypass the electronic start protection of a car, or how to crack a bank safe for instance. But if it is obviously faster to just break it, there is no harm in demonstrating that it can be picked. ESPECIALLY not when some shady lock companies write big bold statements about pick resistance, and charge you accordingly, on products that are, in fact, very mediocre or outright poor. Master Lock being a favourite subject when it comes to this...
@@andersjjensen TOTALLY agree - I have tenants and over 20 years of experience evicting deadbeats. the first couple times hired a lock-smith. now just show up with a couple of tools and bypass the lock in less than 30seconds. obviously in need of a new lock - but thats the smallest expense on those days. Danish by any chance?
Ditto, but keep in mind, you want to find a lock that is somewhere between police arriving on the scene, and someone deciding going through the wall is easier
One of these days we're just going to see him accidentally pick one by inserting the turning tool. "Apply bottom of the keyway pressure- oh, it's open."
He literally did that with a bike lock. It had a plastic core so with enough force the plastic deforms and the lock can be opened just with a tensioner.
only cuts going to or from the garage or basement, but he has sped things up when he’s just waiting for a reaction during one of his rare destruction videos or his few construction videos
@@butterchuckles9854 says who? He may be still trying to find a way to actually pick it. Which is what he does before making a video. He figures out the best mode of attack and beats the lock. Then he records the vid after finding a way to beat it. Considering the lock was sent out a week ago, I highly doubt he's had time time figure out how to beat it yet. Much less make a video and start editing it.

As a child I had a disturbing fascination with locks. I collected pad locks and all sorts of old or abandoned locks I could find often without keys and would proceed to pull them apart to see how they worked. The ones without keys took a little longer, but studying the pull downs of the ones with keys gave me plenty of hints. By my teens I had boxes full of locks of all different types and like to amaze my friends with opening them without the keys. I later progressed to house doors, car doors and ignition locks. Needless to say that landed me in some amount of bother, especially the house and car locks that were owned by strangers. I did eventually progress to some of the cheaper safes, but fortunately by this time I had learned that just because you can doesn't mean you should :)
@@ruutjormun2262 I play with computer technology based security systems these days. Everyone has info and videos on lock breaking (hacking). I am including some security methodology in the books that I am currently writing and will hope to add video how tos along with the books in time. I also have a project progressing in the background for a gateway firewall system. It all takes time. This is just a sock account so I can make politically charged comments without getting my real channel trolled to death, so you won't find any of this on this channel :)
@@paulelderson934 the world isn't comprised of only America and Europe, but ok. In fact I thought Europe in general was a safer place, so why do you need that kind of door?

Europe might and south america might, but Asia, Australia and North America are solidly in the Soccer camp. only half the world's population might call it football. the other half does not. Europe is not "the rest of the world".
Every time I see your disassembly videos I am always interested in the reassembly process. As a service tech on small machinery I know that the disassembly is the easy part and the reassembly is where the real frustration comes in.
This must have been 20 seconds of pure terror for Pickproof's CEO: .. binding, something on 2, that feels set, little click ... LPL: "folks, this lock doesn't live up to its name"
I once spoke to someone who had done an internship at RUKO. I was quite surpised when he told me that the lock that is fitted in aproximately 80% of Danish houses (including mine) is described in RUKO's catalogue as "recommended for closets containing no significant values". I guess having a lock is sort of a symbolic gesture to appease the insurance company...
@@maxwellgriffith I´d think in general most burglars don´t pick locks but just break in, so usually its probably more important how weak the door is or how hard it is to cut a padlock then how long LPL&friends need to pick the used lock itself. Like a "really pickproof lock" on a regular glas door is obviously pointless decoration...😁 Edit:But of course OP is right with his "symbolic gesture &insurance" part. My Dad once told me thats its usually necessary/mandatory for car insurance on a convertible to close the windows when you lock it, even tho the roof is/can be open cuz its a convertible, but if the windows were down insurance wont cover your losses...!😆
@@James_489 LPL wouldn't do that to us! I bet if you name one of those unpickable locks here, he would have a video about it soon. But he's an entertainer, he has success with 3 minute long videos about raccoons, if he suddenly made a 40min video about pandas he'd loose audience and income. So why would he.
It is amazing that after all these years, they still make locks the same. If there were 3 or 4 sets of tumblers (top, bottom, and both sides,) it could be much more secure and much harder to get into. Especially if all the pins were different in length and width.
@@justasydefix6251 "rewind the video" Boy that would be nice, wouldn't it? TH-cam allowing reverse? we get fast and slow, and stopped, AND SINGLE FRAME! , but not reverse. Oh well.
@@alexandergreene461 No, it's basically a stamped sheet that you place into the lock and rotate, so that the pins and key are totally sealed off from the outside environment during activation.
You just do it in reverse. Put in the spring and the pin, then advance the follower to hold them in while you do the next one. Then you just drop the pins in the cylinder, and push the follower out with the cylinder. Play the video backwards and you've got it.
LPL's the only guy who'd be able to open a complex tomb seal from an undiscovered Pyramid, and the gods would be all "actually this guy's good, don't curse him."

However, by simply raking the curse...hmm...and there it is. We got it open. Let's do that again to show it wasn't a fluke..."
@@falloutfreeman627 hahaha he'd do it a 3rd time, just for spite. And then give honest, constructive criticism to help them perform better binding curses in the future lmao
As a retired locksmith I have picked in excess of ~750k locks. I want to tell you that your “walk picking” technique is extraordinary! I’m also impressed by some of the tools you have developed and if I was still working I would buy some of them.
750k locks means for example in numbers: In 40 years you have to pick 52 locks every day, or 6 locks per hour (8h workday) without any free days, weekends or holydays in the whole time. Every day without work, will increase your picklocking rate per day. Are you sure you picked 750k locks? 750k Schlösser bedeutet in Zahlen: In einem 40 Jahres-Zeitraum müssen 52 Schlösser jeden Tag knacken (oder 6 pro Stunde bei einem 8h/Arbeitstag) ohne jedweden freien Tage. Jedes Wochenende, Krankheit oder jeder Urlaub würde ihr Knackrate pro Tag nach oben erhöhen. Sind Sie sicher, dass sie wirklich 750k Schlösser geknackt haben?
when you do a profession for so long you gain skills like at my job i teach people how to sharpen blades and i tell them "you want to feel for burrs if you feel a burr you are not done polishing" and thats why everyone wants me to sharpen their blades XD
This question may have been asked a hundred times but do you have a video on locks you would recommend it are they all pickable in under 30 second haha
Land lord: " So this is the place then right? Ok I'll get everything ready for you, here is your key, you can make as many cop- " LPL: " No thanks, I'll be fine " *opens the locked door
Hey LPL, been watching you for a couple years now. Just thought I'd add to bounteous comments telling you that you're the bee's knees. I'm thoroughly impressed with your willingness to share your craft and your ability to figure out technical systems is just amazing. Thanks for sharing, hope you've been living the good life, I hope you are having a pretty good day whenever if ever you read this (:
I just thought of an ingenious pick proof lock. Simply have the master chamber able to rotate slightly. Have the pins keyed so there’s a groove with a solid end. That way if you try and put pressure with a bar the master chamber (with little hooks or edges) will rotate slightly and lock in behind the pins. Preventing them from lifting fully up and out of the way in essence locking the pins until the cylinder is reset.
They will just create a tool to hold the 'master chamber' in place. It would certainly be more inconvenient to pick, but if it becomes popular, so would the workaround to it. You can't really create an unpickable lock, it just takes more complicated tools to break in. Which, btw is definitely an improvement. This is why someone like LPL just has ridiculously uncommon locks on his doors. They can be picked, but only by someone with a great degree of knowledge.
LPL makes a convincing argument for installing bank vault doors at every entrance and window, backing it up with electronic and analog countermeasures, and putting every single one on separate dedicated collapsing circuits wired to explosives, just in case everything else fails. I'm just glad he's on the light side, because if he went dark side no ones security or valuables would be safe. LPL is proof that sometimes, God is looking out for us. His potential for supervillain status is incredible.
After watching those videos i've actually pimped my lock. It was funny, when i've looked at the cameras on my phone to find coupe of tools stuck in the keyhole, when i actually open by bluetooth electro-machanical lock of my own design and burglar locked inside my patio. Keyhole is just so someone would loose time, when cameras are rollin' and putting anything in it triggers lock on the way out. We had nice conversation waiting for cops to arrive and i was actually sorry for the oldschool guy. :)
When you see a new LPL video that's nearly 5 minutes long and assume that he finally met is nemesis... but then get told in the first few seconds that he'll gonna break it apart.
Multi lock has some with the floating wafers in addition to the telescopic pins, they used to offer a 10K reward if picked. I actually still have a few old original multi lock locks from 20-30 years ago.
Company: Spends years designing “A ‘Pickproof’ Lock” Locksmith: Picks the lock in 60 seconds and only going slowly so he can narrate his every move to us. (Probably could do it in 30-45 seconds if he was actually trying to break into something)
"I did not FEEL any security pins in here..." With a sense of touch like that, this guy missed his true calling. Instead of Law School, he should have gone to Med School, and become a Brain Surgeon...

Without my heart racing because I might get caught.
So here's the kicker - which is backed up by law enforcement statements and insurance companies: Locks do not get picked in the wild unless they're the absolute crappiest Chinese "gym locker" type that you can wiggle open with a popsickle stick. And the reason is simple: It takes a world class picker 20-30 seconds to do something a thief can do with a bolt cutter, a cordless angle grinder, or a crow bar in 5-10 seconds. In theft time-of-exposure is the end-all-be-all. And neither of those methods takes years and years of dedicated practice. And neither of those methods require you to be calm and deeply sensing the minute little sensations the pick sends to your fingertips.
Your line of thinking, though, is common enough that the lock sports community has a code of honour surrounding this: We generally do not disclose publicly what can't be done more effectively with brute force. This means that you won't see a sports picker show you how to bypass the electronic start protection of a car, or how to crack a bank safe for instance. But if it is obviously faster to just break it, there is no harm in demonstrating that it can be picked. ESPECIALLY not when some shady lock companies write big bold statements about pick resistance, and charge you accordingly, on products that are, in fact, very mediocre or outright poor. Master Lock being a favourite subject when it comes to this...
@@andersjjensen TOTALLY agree - I have tenants and over 20 years of experience evicting deadbeats. the first couple times hired a lock-smith. now just show up with a couple of tools and bypass the lock in less than 30seconds. obviously in need of a new lock - but thats the smallest expense on those days.

Im not even into lock-picking but i just love this channel
Not only are you a wizard with locks, you are a great presenter as well.
As a child I had a disturbing fascination with locks. I collected pad locks and all sorts of old or abandoned locks I could find often without keys and would proceed to pull them apart to see how they worked. The ones without keys took a little longer, but studying the pull downs of the ones with keys gave me plenty of hints. By my teens I had boxes full of locks of all different types and like to amaze my friends with opening them without the keys. I later progressed to house doors, car doors and ignition locks. Needless to say that landed me in some amount of bother, especially the house and car locks that were owned by strangers. I did eventually progress to some of the cheaper safes, but fortunately by this time I had learned that just because you can doesn't mean you should :)
make videos.
@@ruutjormun2262 I play with computer technology based security systems these days. Everyone has info and videos on lock breaking (hacking). I am including some security methodology in the books that I am currently writing and will hope to add video how tos along with the books in time.

I was quite surpised when he told me that the lock that is fitted in aproximately 80% of Danish houses (including mine) is described in RUKO's catalogue as "recommended for closets containing no significant values". I guess having a lock is sort of a symbolic gesture to appease the insurance company...

I wonder if locks, culturally, don’t need to be as robust d/t crime/breaking and entering being far less common relative to the West. Just a guess
@@maxwellgriffith I´d think in general most burglars don´t pick locks but just break in, so usually its probably more important how weak the door is or how hard it is to cut a padlock then how long LPL&friends need to pick the used lock itself.

Edit:But of course OP is right with his "symbolic gesture &insurance" part.

It is amazing that after all these years, they still make locks the same. If there were 3 or 4 sets of tumblers (top, bottom, and both sides,) it could be much more secure and much harder to get into. Especially if all the pins were different in length and width.

You should do a video on how you put the locks back together after to pick and disassemble them!
Are you just curious or asking for a friend?
Pretty sure he already has at some point
I was just thinking that too. You know he has to put them back together for his collection, perhaps to be picked again another day.
You just do it in reverse. Put in the spring and the pin, then advance the follower to hold them in while you do the next one. Then you just drop the pins in the cylinder, and push the follower out with the cylinder. Play the video backwards and you've got it.
Just play the video backwards and voila.

As a retired locksmith I have picked in excess of ~750k locks.
I want to tell you that your “walk picking” technique is extraordinary!
I’m also impressed by some of the tools you have developed and if I was still working I would buy some of them.
750k locks means for example in numbers: In 40 years you have to pick 52 locks every day, or 6 locks per hour (8h workday) without any free days, weekends or holydays in the whole time. Every day without work, will increase your picklocking rate per day.
Are you sure you picked 750k locks?
750k Schlösser bedeutet in Zahlen: In einem 40 Jahres-Zeitraum müssen 52 Schlösser jeden Tag knacken (oder 6 pro Stunde bei einem 8h/Arbeitstag) ohne jedweden freien Tage. Jedes Wochenende, Krankheit oder jeder Urlaub würde ihr Knackrate pro Tag nach oben erhöhen.

Thanks for sharing, hope you've been living the good life, I hope you are having a pretty good day whenever if ever you read this (:
I just thought of an ingenious pick proof lock. Simply have the master chamber able to rotate slightly. Have the pins keyed so there’s a groove with a solid end. That way if you try and put pressure with a bar the master chamber (with little hooks or edges) will rotate slightly and lock in behind the pins. Preventing them from lifting fully up and out of the way in essence locking the pins until the cylinder is reset.
So if you're in a haste and insert your key with a bit of torque, it won't open? and you can decrypt them aswell
They will just create a tool to hold the 'master chamber' in place. It would certainly be more inconvenient to pick, but if it becomes popular, so would the workaround to it. You can't really create an unpickable lock, it just takes more complicated tools to break in. Which, btw is definitely an improvement. This is why someone like LPL just has ridiculously uncommon locks on his doors. They can be picked, but only by someone with a great degree of knowledge.
Lockpicking ASMR needs to be a thing. I could listen to those little clicks all day.
