I know you can do it, but you should really do the "super easy" ones with a paper clip to just show how easy it is. That's what I used as a kid and I'm sure that what a curious kid would use
i mean if he is just raking it like that i think just bending the end of a paper clip slightly to match the shape i think it would have similar effectiveness
The paper clip missing one major fact and that is the turning tool. As most kids just do know that or yet to discover that you need a turning tool. All the movies just show you the picks yet never really the turning tools. So for kids not knowing about the turning tool will yield them in almost no results and will then resort to damage to gain entry if they really want it. Now I wonder if this box can be opened with a mallet. He did say spring tension and that makes me think of a hammer. So you never know.
I used to make a paperclip into a squeezable device that would depress both side at the same time and it would open most simple wafer locks like this with a simple squeeze and twist.
Usually the gun safety stuff seems to make him angrier when they turn out to be cheap trash, and you can especially see it in the police gun locks he's done.
I think it’s a fluke that companies don’t just enlist LPL in their design process as a consultant to avoid the humiliation of being opened “by a curious adolescent”.
Consultants exist, and the engineers in those companies aren't stupid. They know what they are selling. They care about amazon reviews, not about one bad review from an expert that noone will see. Well, maybe this will change going forward thanks for LPL and his audience.
You know sending locks to be tested by LPL isn't actually a bad idea not only does it mean you can improve existing designs but it also means you can get an entire audience who may just buy your lock if it's considered decent
I don't see any LPL mentions on the product's page, but it's only a matter of time (the video has only been up for 3 hours). The reviews from buyers though… "I only had it for about a month. I noticed the lid had to be slammed shut or else it would not lock."

@@Quick_Fix It's more a question of a set of dialects of Low German. I speak basic Flemish, I understand Dutch. Flemish froze as a distinctive language in 1914, with no real cultural drive to keep up. The language drift from the German Atlantic Coast, along the Rhine, and as far as Lille and Calais is considerable. The Dutch mutation of the G is far harder than the Flemish, for example. I'd better stop or I'll be imitating my boss, a qualified Flemish legal interpreter!

LPL, you should consider doing a series where you recommend a type of lock for a certain use case. As in, “for a school locker, considering the value of objects it’s trying to secure and the skill and toolset of an average person in the building, I would use this type of lock”. You wouldn’t have to recommend exact locks or even brands, but just give us an idea on the type of lock you would use.
I wonder if somewhere there are restroom toilet roll holders locked with abloy protecs, as there was just a mixup at the factory and the locks got switched. That’s the only explanation I can come up with for the existence of terrible gun safes like these.
As matter of fact, I was curious about. I went to restroom at work, toilet paper lock has extremely crazy keyway. If I were to pick it, I would need a custom tensioner. Even so, the warding are so crazy, I’m not sure I if I can slip a pick in there.
You never fail to make this look easy, how long would it take someone with no lock picking skills using the same tools and method? Be interesting to see the comparison in skill gap. Great video, always a pleasure to see an upload 🤠👍
For anything that he uses the rake method for, after you spend 60 seconds figuring out what that means with the tools hes using, you can probably do it about as fast. He could probably pick this lock with a paper clip or a Bobby pin in less than 30 seconds
In this case it's pretty clear that anyone who's just received their very first wave rake and understands how to use the tension tool would open it in seconds, just by randomly raking the lock.
I've been watching LPL for awhile and finally bought my first pick set. The first lock I tried to pick was easy. Bought a better lock and picked it easy. It all depends if you watch this channel.
I just picked my first lock with 2 peace’s of random metal I had, I want to say thank you fro bringing light to something i didn’t think would be fun 😁👍🏼
You know what is strange? I never really had any real interest in picking locks, I knew it was a thing, but never thought about it. But after watching some of these videos from this guy over last few days, I have now ordered a lockpick set and some see through locks so I can learn.
"To make sure this wasn't a fluke..." You should really get a sponsorship by a certain electronic measuring equipment brand! 😁 And, if you, somehow, inexplicably, decide this is an incredibly useful tip, hey I wouldn't mind an oscilloscope or multimeter for the suggestion.... 😇🤣

I use a similar trick on semi trucks that we don't have keys for that a customer will drop off at our shop. We have a few spare keys for most makes. Put one in the ignition and rake it back and forth while keeping tension and it eventually turns. Kind of satisfying.
Hey I appreciate the focus on gun locks / gun safety. Responsible gun owners absolutely care about this kind of stuff. And unintentional firearm discharge kills children and teens a lot more than you'd think.

As children we had homemade tools we used regularly to test every lock we encountered.
There has to be AT LEAST one thief that is watching all of his videos religiously to prepare himself.
"This is a fingerprint lock."
Let me guess...
"mechanical backup"
Yup, there it is.
"This is the LockPicking Lawyer and what I have for you today is an embarrassment".
When LPL said “a picker with little or no experience” I was expecting him to use a Red Bull can. Could be worse than needing a proper pick to rake it.
He used a basic pick instead of an actual rake to show that it's literally so easy to rake this one open that you don't even need a rake to do it.
You know that he’s about to roast the product when he says “alright folks”
Actually, when the video is only 1:35 long, that’s a pretty big clue.
The “alright folks” is now legendary status show of disappointment
