I’m not sure if you’ve done this already but could you do a video demonstrating a lock with excellent drill resistance vs one with none and show drilling into each? Love the videos, thanks!
I definitely don’t understand all of the terminology, but love the videos regardless. Ive even started fidgeting with some master locks when watching videos.
Has anyone ever seen the LPL put the locks back together? I imagine an alternative reality where he has all the locks disassembled because all he knows is how to take them apart 😂
I like Yale, they have decent key ways, especially using a 'low,high,low,' pinned lock for a Y1 can be somewhat effective. I have a big ass padlock with a GA keyway I like but will be switching to either Y1 or a Sargent with their clever trap pin anyways, good stuff LPL
I appreciate the dedication. The way that you pick and handle the deconstruction makes me feel like you practice with the locks many times before recording. Now that I'm writing this comment, I'm wondering... i
Its not really all that useful really. Hes easily one of the top 20 non professional pickers in the country and likely ranks pretty highly even globally among professional lockpickers. Him rating the pick resistance or even the overall quality of a lock would be like asking a nascar champion to rate a stock camry for regular daily driving. That being said, he does usually systematically evaluate the features of a lock and what its weaknesses are lilely to be. Further if you watch many locksport videos of his or others, they tend to not give any credence to numerical scale ratings for any lock, its more about their actual features and performance than an arbitrary scale. For instance one of these locks may be really difficult to pick because of some radical bitting but the one on the shelf right next to it might be eaisly rake-able because of its bitting.
I just picked a lock for the first time in less than a minute. A 30mm Brinks lock with a Bobby pin as a pick and a ink pen clip as a tension bar. Lost faith in cheap locks but found a new hobby. Update...got a cheap set..down the rabbit hole we go.
The new 300 version, is nothing like the stainless version, the rare P300X, a beautiful thing. Spring tension on the chambers, is insane on the early ones.
What is "key retaining"? You mention it as a feature that you can set on or off with the pin when you disassemble the core. What does "retaining" a key mean exactly?
Sadly that is not the case in Australia - many companies there are opting to use the Lockwood C4 keyway due to its ubiquity there. That said, the next common keyway is the Gainsborough TE2 and the old Lane keyway (before they ceded to the C4. Then comes the Yale Y1 keyway.
Fellow Aussie, and damn lockwoods. I've cracked the 110/40 and 120/40 both with bobby pins ; ) but found some old chunky 275s from memory. Not sure whats going on but I think the tolerances might be too good for me, so therefore overset pins constantly. Tried heavy tension, light tension (with actual picks not hair pins), tried rakes... There's no apparent binding order even when under heavy tension. Can't find a false set - I'm not even sure this thing has spools in it! The other lockwoods do. Dunno, I was gonna post it to LPL to see if he can pick and gut for me. It looks like a destructive gut as you can just detect brass rivets in the lock body. I guess the only way to find out is to open the shackle and look down the hole! Cheers :)
@@cognitivedissident9825 older lockwoods don't have spools, just tapered standard pins, use heavy tension to avoid oversetting and you don't need too much force on the pick, just because you can't feel it set doesn't mean it hasn't, "tickle" the pins into place.
Im sure you could make one if you have bits of metal around and its not like you don't live in a house already with locks unless im assuming to much about your house
@@chadoftoons I live in a house with one lock, I'm not about to start shoving random bits of metal into it! XD But yes (while looking at the padlock) I did think about making some tools, but I decided to perhaps buy a little kit first if I was interested enough.
@@snaz27 You could buy a few important picks and tension wrenches from SouthOrd for $10-15, and then look around for a cheap MasterLock for your first open.
Get some hairpins, bend them into hooks with pliers then bash the hooks even flatter with a hammer. Anyhere between .3 - .4 mm will work on most locks. Eyeball the thickness. Do the same for a tension wrench but instead of bending along the edge, bend across the edge. Now open your first bank vault. lock pick level 100
Hi! I've been loving your videos for a while now but would it be possible to give some insight on your opinion about the quality of the locks like these? You make picking them look fairly easy and none really stand out from each others, would love to know your appreciation of their qualities Anyway keep it up, it's been a blast watching you!
The keyway drags on even an .018" pick, so it's a bitch to get the feel of when you are precisely on the pin. I guess LPL has so good muscle memory that he is just always on the pin he intends... but the spools themselves are actually pretty easy once you know how. Spools give a ton of feedback, and are much easier than serrated pins. I recon I could do this one on a chain in about 10 minutes.. unless my heart was pumping with adrenaline. Then it would take 20.
i have one of these in my naughty box. im definitely not skilled enough for it yet. LPL, would you show us your entire collection please? you have some very neat locks, stuff I only dream of owning. thanks again, and happy easter!
@@Yoshikaable if anything these vids make me feel woefully inadequate because Im not this good lol. I still enjoy them because I love locks. My particular thing is hand filing keys for unkeyed locks
@@alpacatwoniner2370 that's really cool hobby. I understand how this can make you feel that way - I watch him because he's so relaxed, but at the same time it takes a pro to make it look effortless
Considering tapered key pins and then security pins by the way of spools that was a super quick open. When you say the key pins are tapered, did you mean the thinner tip at the top? Apart from that the pins looked straight.
The plug might be a generic plug. Which would explain the two holes on either side. But I was puzzled by the 3 anti-drill rods. It seems odd to have 3 aligned in that way. Usually, it's common to see 2 on either side between pin chambers 1 and 2. Also, I now wonder if a 63mm width is some sort of convention. Lockwood also make a 63mm steel padlock. All the other sizes are either N0 or N5. Not sure about Yale but Lockwood have 60mm and 70mm padlocks. So one would expect a 65mm padlock rather than a 63mm one. Hmm, 63.5 mm is 2.5 inches.
the two pins on one side and one on another side is that if you drill thru the first row of pin the drill bit will be "deflected" to the "weak" side with one pin so that it won't allow you to drill all the way straight to the end of the core so easily.
Rekeying will disable the deadlock feature, I got mine rekeyed today and the deadlock feature were gone though I prefer it to not stay in place while unlocked so it's all good for me.
How difficult is it to drill through pins like this? If they could add more drill resistance, it stands to reason that even with three additional pins and the key and driver in two being made of steel, this could be easier than just attacking the shackle? Just curious about why there would be so much for anti drill in this lock
Hey I'm just wondering what's the reason they don't put drill resistance pin as the 1st pin? Is it to bait the burglar to think he got it after he drills through the 1st pin and perhaps wastes more of his time?
Stuart D Locks, like any security device, is for peace of mind, and for keeping honest people out. If someone wants your stuff, there is a way they can do it, regardless of difficulty.
When you dump the springs out all at once, I've noticed they always seem to be the same. But since it's worth mentioning in videos, have there been locks where they're not the same? How do you know which one goes where if they aren't? What would having different springs accomplish?
Still need 2 pins my man! Trust me, bobby pins were all I was using until I got my cheap pick set from ebay. Just need to hammer the tensioner flatter before bending so it's wide enough to gain purchase in top of keyway. Also you can bend the hooks first, then bash them thinner afterwards for harder keyways. :) Lockpick Level 100

"honey wake up I think I herd something, go look I'm scared" you go down the hallway twords the living room and hear "little click out of one, nothing on 2, 3 is binding. Not sure what's holding us up right now"
False set, as far as I know, isn't a built in "feature", per se. It's more of a side effect of having some spools for driver pins. Imagine a standard driver pin crossing the shear line, and the rest of the pins are spools, which aren't as thick in the middle as standard pins. When the stardard pin gets pushed past the shear line, it allows the core to turn when under tension, but only as far as the smaller diameter of the spools will allow, so just a little bit. Dropping into a false set basically just lets you know that there are spools for driver pins and to expect counter rotation for the remaining pins. Kinda hard to explain unless you know the terminology, hope that helps a bit anyway. :)
It is cheating, a bit. With "challenge locks" the keys are wrapped in tape so there is no clue about the pins. See Bosnian Bill"s "naughty bucket" and other challenge lock videos. Cool stuff!
I can't help but feel like it may be filled with a bit of swearing as the springs fail to cooperate. I imagine he has a very skilled hand for reassembling, but springs are not fun in tight places.
Yeah, I'd imagine it's a BITCH to put back together. Hence the lack of a reassembly video 😜. Those tiny springs are a PITA! They look like the same type that are found in my mini North American Arms Revolvers & those pistols only have a couple of those tiny springs under tension. Needless to say... It's a bitch!
do you have a video that explains the differences between spool, tappered, and so on, and how that effects your methods of attacking each type? Been watching you for a long while but that part still doesnt make much sense to me.
Daniel Belmiro Basically insert the parts in reverse order: first the anti-drill pins, then each spring and driver pin, using the follower tool to hold the ones already inserted. Next insert the key and drop in the key pins. Now the core with key should be completely smooth and you can push it into the lock at a turned position. Lock and remove the key, then attach all the outside stuff.
When I try this I can feel the binding pins and the loose pins. But I also get a lot of "in treacle" pins - then move but not freely and don't seem to click anywhere, they also don't drop back down so end up (probably) overset. What do you do with them?
Are there ANY locks that can't be picked?? They all seem very similar and rarely need more than a couple of minutes. (Appreciate an expert always makes their craft look easy!)
There are no locks that can't be picked. However, many require specialized tools and skills to do so. Bowley locks, as an example, can be picked open but require a reasonably skilled picker and a set of unique picks in order to be opened. Realistically speaking, in normal application all you need is enough pick resistance that the average thief will need more than a few minutes to open it. More important is a lock's resistance to physical attack, since that's far more common anyway.
I don't know anything about lock picking. Now, from someone that is a layman, I have a doubt: it seems to me that (some of) the locks/padlocks can only be picked so easily because of the way you are able to hold them in an "easier" place. Looks like that, if they we're in use, it'll be much harder to pick. Am I talking nonsense here? hahah Love your videos LPL
It certainly would be more difficult, but this is more akin to locksport and in that regard we are not really concerned with picking locks in place (the cardinal rule is to never pick a lock you don't own or one that is in use) because that's a locksmith job, or some other more shady occupations...
Also, what many don't realise is that LPL is not picking the locks in the most favorable position either. Remember, he has to film the picking process, so he has to pick around a rather big camera and tripod.
Locksmiths do it all the time. It's just a matter of what you are used to. I even put padlocks in my vise, as I'm used to resting my elbows in a certain way.
Have you come across chiped keys ? they can look like normal yale camlocks or round locks. They don't use the inbuilt rfid chip to open the lock but record the key what opened the lock (forensic eviedence). Thus they then knew whos key opened the lock ( at place of theft ) or no key was used (picked). Money industry again. ?
When I worked in the money industry I saw a couple of locks and cases thay had sticky gel centres (mainly a neon green gel liquid) that gave drill protection as it gummed up the saw blades and cobolt drill bits. Have you come across any of these filled locks or cases ?
Indeed, I wouldn't buy this particular one if I could see the keys beforehand. Would be be a lot better if that tall pin at position 1 would be at 5 instead.
@@DrLex1 Having a tall pin up front is fine, because it'll get in the way and potentially cause an over-set, but there should certainly be at least one more deeper in the lock to take advantage of that. It'd also be nice to see a T pin or two, along with some threading in the core to make this properly difficult. That said, realistically, this lock will get attacked by bolt cutters or a raking attack, neither of which will be particularly successful outside of maybe the hydraulic cutters. The hasp that you're attaching this to is likely the weak point, not the lock, which means the lock is doing its job well enough.
@@jttech44 too many spools for a rake attack. Once you drop into a false set, might as well throw the rake over your shoulder. But as you said, can't tell there's spools until you try the rake first :)

Its not really all that useful really. Hes easily one of the top 20 non professional pickers in the country and likely ranks pretty highly even globally among professional lockpickers.

Never picked a lock before. Watched ~100 videos on this channel, and have a question. Is it cheating at all to be able to see the key beforehand?
It is cheating, a bit. With "challenge locks" the keys are wrapped in tape so there is no clue about the pins. See Bosnian Bill"s "naughty bucket" and other challenge lock videos. Cool stuff!
@@jbzizzle thx
Can you show us in a video how to put the lock back together?
I can't help but feel like it may be filled with a bit of swearing as the springs fail to cooperate. I imagine he has a very skilled hand for reassembling, but springs are not fun in tight places.
Yeah, I'd imagine it's a BITCH to put back together. Hence the lack of a reassembly video 😜. Those tiny springs are a PITA! They look like the same type that are found in my mini North American Arms Revolvers & those pistols only have a couple of those tiny springs under tension. Needless to say... It's a bitch!
do you have a video that explains the differences between spool, tappered, and so on, and how that effects your methods of attacking each type? Been watching you for a long while but that part still doesnt make much sense to me.
It would be interesting a video of assembling one of these locks back. That seems to be dificult.
Daniel Belmiro Basically insert the parts in reverse order: first the anti-drill pins, then each spring and driver pin, using the follower tool to hold the ones already inserted. Next insert the key and drop in the key pins. Now the core with key should be completely smooth and you can push it into the lock at a turned position. Lock and remove the key, then attach all the outside stuff.
That sure did rotate a lot on each pin.
When I try this I can feel the binding pins and the loose pins. But I also get a lot of "in treacle" pins - then move but not freely and don't seem to click anywhere, they also don't drop back down so end up (probably) overset. What do you do with them?
Wow! Made that look easy
Don't he, but he is very good at this.
@@AThreeDogNight he's all that and then some, it kinda makes a decent lock look bad,if you didn't know just how good he really is at lockpicking.
@@lockpickingbelfast, That's for certain, he has mad skills for real.
Are there ANY locks that can't be picked?? They all seem very similar and rarely need more than a couple of minutes. (Appreciate an expert always makes their craft look easy!)
There are no locks that can't be picked. However, many require specialized tools and skills to do so. Bowley locks, as an example, can be picked open but require a reasonably skilled picker and a set of unique picks in order to be opened. Realistically speaking, in normal application all you need is enough pick resistance that the average thief will need more than a few minutes to open it. More important is a lock's resistance to physical attack, since that's far more common anyway.
It's all about theft delay. A lock is by definition never thief proof.
Short of a very few special cases it makes absolutely no sense to make a lock take longer to pick than to destroy physically.
Great Work!!!
LPL coming at Yale with making the lock look like a joke despite saying how hard it is.
I opened this video as soon as the notification arrived, and there were already 450 views.
Notifications tend to be on the slower side of things.
👉🏾 ALL That Drill Protection With Rods And Stainless Pins
BUT > > Screw A Dent Puller In That Core And That Tiny Retaining Screw Is NO Match 😎
I don't know anything about lock picking.
Now, from someone that is a layman, I have a doubt: it seems to me that (some of) the locks/padlocks can only be picked so easily because of the way you are able to hold them in an "easier" place. Looks like that, if they we're in use, it'll be much harder to pick. Am I talking nonsense here? hahah
Love your videos LPL
It certainly would be more difficult, but this is more akin to locksport and in that regard we are not really concerned with picking locks in place (the cardinal rule is to never pick a lock you don't own or one that is in use) because that's a locksmith job, or some other more shady occupations...
Also, what many don't realise is that LPL is not picking the locks in the most favorable position either. Remember, he has to film the picking process, so he has to pick around a rather big camera and tripod.
Josuel Servin Shady occupation 😂😂 The Thieves Guild.
Locksmiths do it all the time. It's just a matter of what you are used to. I even put padlocks in my vise, as I'm used to resting my elbows in a certain way.
Laywoman / layperson perhaps?
Could a video be done reassembling the lock?
BosnianBill has a good one on that. Checkout locklab.com for his complete free video course in basic lock picking and lock building.
Have you come across chiped keys ? they can look like normal yale camlocks or round locks. They don't use the inbuilt rfid chip to open the lock but record the key what opened the lock (forensic eviedence). Thus they then knew whos key opened the lock ( at place of theft ) or no key was used (picked). Money industry again. ?
Put one back together for us
When I worked in the money industry I saw a couple of locks and cases thay had sticky gel centres (mainly a neon green gel liquid) that gave drill protection as it gummed up the saw blades and cobolt drill bits.
Have you come across any of these filled locks or cases ?
I'd love to know this too!

Decent lock, horrendous bitting out of the factory
Indeed, I wouldn't buy this particular one if I could see the keys beforehand. Would be be a lot better if that tall pin at position 1 would be at 5 instead.
@@DrLex1 Having a tall pin up front is fine, because it'll get in the way and potentially cause an over-set, but there should certainly be at least one more deeper in the lock to take advantage of that. It'd also be nice to see a T pin or two, along with some threading in the core to make this properly difficult.
That said, realistically, this lock will get attacked by bolt cutters or a raking attack, neither of which will be particularly successful outside of maybe the hydraulic cutters. The hasp that you're attaching this to is likely the weak point, not the lock, which means the lock is doing its job well enough.
indeed, apart from the 0 cut on pin 1, the rest is garbage tier
@@jttech44 too many spools for a rake attack. Once you drop into a false set, might as well throw the rake over your shoulder. But as you said, can't tell there's spools until you try the rake first :)
@@cognitivedissident9825 they rake will also speed up the false set.
LPL might have the best thumbs up to down ratio on YT.
As of today, 17 lock manufacturers have watched this video.
The key profiles really look easy on theese keys. Its almost suspicious. Please do a yale key with different profile.
I noticed that too. Apart from pin 1 being lower than the rest, it looked easy as
