Thank you for gutting this lock. It really makes you appreciate the manufacturing process and effort that goes into some of these MTL locks. I mean counter milling on the core AND the key pin outer pins. Impressive. And of course your picking is second to none.
It's very interesting to see the vulnerable lock picker from years ago, compared to the current state of the channel. Different motivations, different outcomes, I get it. I am currently working my way through your entire catalogue. Ill be sure to pop these in if they seem timely
Amazing. I had no idea Mul-T-Lock was pickable in certain versions by anyone. I know no one on the street pick locks, but it makes me even more excited for my 362 to arrive. What would be interesting is if you could come up with a pickability list of different keyways on a scale of 1-10. Would Abloy be 10? Would Abus be 10 also? Would Mul-T-Lock interactive+ be 9? 8?
Mul-T-Locks are too expensive to call that band a bumper. I’m going with “Warning Red Anti-scratch Protruding Protective Enclosing Devise” ---- WRAPPED.
Fantastic Video. Lovely Lock I've just got one myself and I can't wait to Pick it it's got a MT5 Core in it so should be fun. LOL. Keep up the great work. Nick.
New to your vlog and already subscribed after 1 video!... I wish I could vote 100 times for this video. Absolutely fascinating info imparted. I am concerned about one thing tho, doesn't this detailed exposé aid nefarious behavior by people less honorable that ourselves? Can't wait to go through the other 400+ videos. Thank you.
Interactive plus at work? That's pretty impressive. THey are not as bad as you might think. Once you get a feel for the interlocking pins, they are just as easy as the normal classic or interactive.
Then you are in luck. Check out my videos 249, 250, and 281 for pick and gut videos of MT5+ locks... also video 270, but that one was compromised by extensive master keying.
Still amazed at how easy you make this look. Do you prefer to hold a lock vs. clamping? I have trouble holding and picking. Seems I get better control in a clamp, yet I feel as tho I'm cheating. Great Vida as always. Thanks!
You touch on an interesting topic. As my skills developed, I started to hold padlocks in my hand when picking because it’s more realistic an attack. You would never attack a padlock in the wild by putting it in a vice, so why do it in practice (unless you are just learning and need a temporary crutch)? It definitely makes picking harder - particularly on a locks like this that (I) require some subtlety and precision in picking, and (II) are really heavy. I also have a MTL C16 w/ Shackle Guard. That’s roughly 2-3x as heavy, and holding the lock in my hand is the hardest part of picking it.
The security of that Lockwood was highly compromised by heavy master keying. See videos 249, 250 and 281 for me picking the full Monty MT5+. The MT5+ is definitely king of the MTL hill. That said, the Interactive+ in this video was unusually tricky, so when comparing the best of the interactives vs the worst of the MT5+, I can see how you might question the hierarchy.
Great so basically if someone wanted to mess with your lock & not open it, they can just remove the red buffer & unscrew/remove the rather short, core retaining screw so everytime you unlock it, your core will fall out. A pranksters wet dream & to me a slight design flaw. I prefer the Allen key, inside the bottom of the shackle slide design that way you cannot access any screws until the shackle is unlocked 🔓. For that sort of money you expect not to be able to access any screws no matter what the purpose, until the lock is opened
Hi, great video. Please could you advise me which padlock I should use on my shipping container. I have both the Mul-t-lock e14h and the abus granite 37/60 but can only fit one within the welded security box cover the main lock on the door. Which one should I use? I would really appreciate your advice. Thanks
Big locks aren't common anywhere. That said, this is far from the biggest in my collection. I think that honor goes the the MTL C16 (with shackle guard).
You misunderstand... I spend a great deal of time on locks like this one -- i.e., on MTLs. I did not spend a great deal of time on this particular lock. A lock like this usually takes me about 5-7 minutes blind. Some do take longer, but they are the exception.
LockPickingLawyer i understand you meant that you had been picking mtls for a long time. i just wanted to know how long does it takes to pick mtl blind for you because only video you picking mtl blind was with defective one which had only outer pins working
The screw is just holding this cylinder in the shackle hole so it doesn't fall apart when someone uses their key. Otherwise when the lock is locked there is no room for it to move aka you can't dismantle the lock unless you have the shackle open
Depends which lock. The MT5(+) have standard outer driver pins, and they are considered the hardest pins. But that can be overcome with practice and careful tensioning.
LockPickingLawyer when you pick pourly or medium quality machined locks when you set pins they become springy and they don't move as much so it's obvious when key pins hit the bible and you need alot of force to overset them. i have one almost brand new interactive with all standards and it's hard for me to tell if pins are set or not and i think i overset them all the time. i have not even got outer pins picked. what tension do you use and how do you feel when they set? or do you pick them like they are tapered so you come back and press each pin multiple times? maybe i just can't feel yet when key pins hit the bible or i use incorrect tensioning or both
Thanks. It's a very nice lock that I would use (depending on the application). The truth is that there is a very small handful of people out there who can efficiently pick these locks, and they are generally not thieves.
What would you use this padlock on? Its so big that any hasp you try to put it on will be too small. And any door it hangs from is an easier target then the lock.
Getting notification of this video a year late wtf #TH-cam ...? Also ads for said lock below video after it was popped in under 3 minutes wierd? Great video nonetheless!
Thank you for gutting this lock. It really makes you appreciate the manufacturing process and effort that goes into some of these MTL locks. I mean counter milling on the core AND the key pin outer pins. Impressive. And of course your picking is second to none.
Thanks... these are nicely made locks. The complexity definitely adds to the picking difficulty.
I found "ABLOY" on the NE14L packaging.
Mul-t-lock is part of the Assa Abloy group
It's very interesting to see the vulnerable lock picker from years ago, compared to the current state of the channel. Different motivations, different outcomes, I get it. I am currently working my way through your entire catalogue. Ill be sure to pop these in if they seem timely
Great job picking as always. Multi locks are pretty intricate. Thanks for sharing brother!
Very cool presentation sir. I have such respect on MTL, they really spend so much brain power designing their locks. Very nice vid.
Thanks. I'm a fan of MTL as well. Really fun locks to pick... complex and challenging, but attainable.
Amazing picking - great fun to watch you open it. Thanks.
Thanks.
This looks like the most frightening lock to pick. So impressive man. Thanks again for sharing :-)
Unbelievable, that a locks has all those pieces, that was awesome as always.
It's always a pleasure to have a look on your picking 👍👍👍
Thanks.
brilliant picking ! loved the commentary especially when you said must of done a load of damage while working on pin 4! great vid as always!!
Thanks.

Wow, what a lock and set of pins and what a fantastic pick. 👍
Thanks.

I prefer "plastic thingy" :-P
Very nice video sir👍👍👍😘🍻😎
Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Thanks.
You make picking locks look so easy haha. Nice lock video.
THanks -- It only looks easy because you don't see the practice.
Another good one, thanks for sharing!
Thanks.
Awesome picking you always make it look so easy
Thanks.
Fantastic Video. Lovely Lock I've just got one myself and I can't wait to Pick it it's got a MT5 Core in it so should be fun. LOL. Keep up the great work. Nick.
Thanks -- good luck with the MT5. I have a few videos picking MT5 and MT5+ locks... they may be helpful.

Really robust looking lock also very pretty. Nice picking and gutting!
Thanks. I'll have to feature some ugly locks, to balance this one out.
Nah, just show the nice once :D
Nice lock and nice pick. Still waiting on my picks got a bunch of locks to try once they show up. I figured I'd just try and shape as I go.
Thanks -- Good luck with the dimple.
Awesome
Thanks.
5;12 .. good find! .. I have to get my kids to find lost springs and ball bearings! :)
😂... My son’s now old enough to put him to use that way!
we used those cylinders on the exterior doors at my old work...don't think I've seen anyone else pick one!
Interactive plus at work? That's pretty impressive. THey are not as bad as you might think. Once you get a feel for the interlocking pins, they are just as easy as the normal classic or interactive.
yeah, it was a manufacturing company and they were concerned about key control.
man what a video. wish i had that lock. to practice on
Thanks. The lock is fun, but for practice, I'd rather a bunch of cheaper used cylinders... just to get the wider experience.
O M G you made that look easy
Thanks -- practice will do that. :-)
I am tempted to buy this lock :D I see it here in a shop for about 3000 pesos (~150 USD)
It's a nice lock, no doubt. Price seems about right, though you can do a little better on eBay if you keep your eyes open. Good luck with it.
You really are great at doing that, but would it be also "easy" for you if in a difficult position on a bike's disk or spur gear?
I want to see an Mt5+ picked next, and gutted to make sure no pins were compromised beforehand
Then you are in luck. Check out my videos 249, 250, and 281 for pick and gut videos of MT5+ locks... also video 270, but that one was compromised by extensive master keying.
I'll be willing to bet you'll be one of two who'll post a video picking the mt5+ that's authentic.
I haven't worked on the MT5+ in a while. I should revisit them.
>really a trick pick one of the hardest locks i've picked in a while
said one who picked it literally in 2 minutes XDXDXD
:-)
When you hear " Nothing on one, a nice click on two..." at your door, maybe a minute and you meet LPL?
" Ring the door bell and I'll let you in. " " That won't be necessary", lol
Still amazed at how easy you make this look. Do you prefer to hold a lock vs. clamping? I have trouble holding and picking. Seems I get better control in a clamp, yet I feel as tho I'm cheating. Great Vida as always. Thanks!

My Mul T Lock had ABLOY on the packaging. So that's why the keys are so similar.
Assa Abloy owns Mul-T-Lock
Great picking again. Looks harder than the Lockwood MT5+ you did.
Do yo think that the MT5+ is a step backwards?
The security of that Lockwood was highly compromised by heavy master keying. See videos 249, 250 and 281 for me picking the full Monty MT5+. The MT5+ is definitely king of the MTL hill.

CEC 164 kale found in this product, let's turn to what I wonder?
Hi, great video. Please could you advise me which padlock I should use on my shipping container. I have both the Mul-t-lock e14h and the abus granite 37/60 but can only fit one within the welded security box cover the main lock on the door. Which one should I use? I would really appreciate your advice. Thanks
I'm late but I'd get the Abus Granit 215/100 Container hasp
i have never seen such a big lock in Hong Kong before
Big locks aren't common anywhere. That said, this is far from the biggest in my collection. I think that honor goes the the MTL C16 (with shackle guard).
That sure is one sweet MTL
Thanks... I've had this one on my ebay alerts for a while... finally found one at the right price.
+LockPickingLawyer how right is the price and are there more? You know we share same love for them
+Papa Gleb Not that great... I'll text you.
This guys is so good. How did you learn these multi lock pins?
you nail them one by one classics, interactives, mt5s
I've spent lots of time on these... no lock can stand forever!
LockPickingLawyer so if you get such lock brand new how fast will you pick it blind?
You misunderstand... I spend a great deal of time on locks like this one -- i.e., on MTLs. I did not spend a great deal of time on this particular lock. A lock like this usually takes me about 5-7 minutes blind. Some do take longer, but they are the exception.
LockPickingLawyer i understand you meant that you had been picking mtls for a long time. i just wanted to know how long does it takes to pick mtl blind for you because only video you picking mtl blind was with defective one which had only outer pins working
Is there a pick set out there that you would recommend for these Multi-locks? And which picks do you use the most on the majority of these locks.
Most of the time, I use SpooXe picks... these are just hand finished Chinese Goso picks. They are the best "out of the box" dimple picks I know of.
LPL....what pic is that you are using on that lock? Thanks for the great videos!
+Mike Shapiro the pick I'm using is from SpooXe... Pretty much a hand finished Goso.
Love Spooxe stuff....have a few of their pick rolls
Better lock than Squire SS65CS? Appeared to take longer to pick
A high security lock takes twice as long to pick.... 2mn🙄😄👍🏻
Is everything being held together by that tiny screw on the edge ?
nice thanks LPL. Where you get your screwdriver from i like It!!
+Iggy Mac Probably got it from eBay... Brand is toolsmart.
Cool thanks
Have the same. Got it from dollar store.
Can you pick the Abus Granit 37/80 padlock?
Not yet.
i thought MTL locks also had sidebars?
If this lock can be disassembled with the outside side the screw, it could be a weak point. What if someone tried to unscrew while it’s locked??
The screw is just holding this cylinder in the shackle hole so it doesn't fall apart when someone uses their key. Otherwise when the lock is locked there is no room for it to move aka you can't dismantle the lock unless you have the shackle open
i heard that the worst mlts to pick are brand new with all standard pins? is it true? how do you get them that fast?
Depends which lock. The MT5(+) have standard outer driver pins, and they are considered the hardest pins. But that can be overcome with practice and careful tensioning.
LockPickingLawyer when you pick pourly or medium quality machined locks when you set pins they become springy and they don't move as much so it's obvious when key pins hit the bible and you need alot of force to overset them. i have one almost brand new interactive with all standards and it's hard for me to tell if pins are set or not and i think i overset them all the time. i have not even got outer pins picked. what tension do you use and how do you feel when they set? or do you pick them like they are tapered so you come back and press each pin multiple times? maybe i just can't feel yet when key pins hit the bible or i use incorrect tensioning or both
Wow ! nicely done . I was thinking on buying this expensive lock. do you recommend it ? should I invest on something else ? thanks.
Thanks. It's a very nice lock that I would use (depending on the application). The truth is that there is a very small handful of people out there who can efficiently pick these locks, and they are generally not thieves.
Can you recommend a padlock that is the most difficult to pick?
What would you use this padlock on? Its so big that any hasp you try to put it on will be too small. And any door it hangs from is an easier target then the lock.
Good for a cycle lock? With chain....
+Steve Tinter yes... as long as the chain is up to the task.
Got a length of 12mm Pewag hardened lifting chain.
Twist this guy with your pipe wrench.
Getting notification of this video a year late wtf #TH-cam ...? Also ads for said lock below video after it was popped in under 3 minutes wierd? Great video nonetheless!
