They don't honor the warranty. I talked to them and they said "You must have the lock still in your possession and mail it to us so we can see the damage and if it's the case we will give it back". Unfortunately the lock went with the bike.
How else will they know that it was their lock that failed? You could leave the bike without locking it up, and then throw away the lock. You could have lock it to something weak and easy to break. Insurance is just sh*ty and expensive way to give people false sense of security.
@@pingwingugu5 even when I send them the lock, how would they know? I could have went to a scrapyard and have it cut with a grinder after my bike was already stolen.
Same happened to me a couple years ago. Now I have my own pick kit, bump keys, pad lock shims, cheap pick gun and about 40 practice locks. Over all spent around $100 for it all over that time shopping frugally. Start with the gold colored lock pic set on amazon/Ebay and open some cheap locks to get a feel for the skill and go up in quality (don’t pick the same lock for any long period of time) and you’ll get the hang of it fast
Supposedly he has been threatened, but as a lawyer himself he knows they're full of hot air. His one big claim to shut them down is that he doesn't just say they are bad, he demonstrates it on camera. Also the fact that he will sometimes praise certain locks and manufactures.

Watching a bunch of your vids taught me 1 very important thing about anything in general, if you know what your up against it will be a lot easier or actually possible to do something.
I'm a more recent fan of this channel and thought a 5 minute video with Master was odd. Figures, 4 minutes in, he finally starts picking it. Now it all makes sense.
Man you're putting all these lock 🔐 manufacturer's in their place! I'll never look at another lock the same! Might as well lock my bike with 🍞 bread ties! Lol! You definitely deserve a patent on your lock that you one day manufacture or design!
LPL's videos have made me realize that no lock is %100 secure but that doesn't make it worthless. This lock is a good example. Just because a very skilled lockpick opened it very quickly in a controlled environment doesn't mean it doesn't have some deterrent value in the real world. In the real world there are a lot of other factors to consider... 1) Not many people have these skills. 2) What is the value of the item I'm trying to steal? Is it worth me even trying if I might go to jail? 3) Are there witnesses around? Are they going to notice me suspiciously messing around with a bike lock for a minute or two and start asking questions? Is there a hidden camera filming me, giving them a nice long 2 minute look at me? 4) How is the lock situated? Is it positioned so that I can use my lockpicking skills easily? Or is there a sign, wall, piece of bike frame, etc. in the way that makes it a lot more difficult to pick than it was in the comfort of my home? 5) Okay, I've picked the lock, now what? I can't start the bike. Okay, me and my buddy will real quick roll it up this ramp into the back of a U-haul. Oh crap, it's got a wheel lock too! I guess I'll need to have 4 buddies so we can lift it into the U-Haul. Etc. etc. Seems like the main security feature of a lock like this is to deter a quick and dirty theft. Somebody coming up with bolt-cutters or something and then, with accomplices, hauling it away before anybody notices or reacts. If I owned a $60,000 bike I might not use this but I think it would be fine for less valuable bikes, like say in the $3500 range.
nicely done ! Bosnian bill had trouble tensioning a similar lock with the popping up center ( rock bros Hamburger lock 987 ) looks like you nailed it ;)
+tonyholt90 Thanks. Bill had a harder job on that lock because of tighter quarters in the keyway... but from what I can see of that lock, a modified version of my method might work. Really impossible to tell unless you have the lock in your hand.
Thanks lpl, you have effectively shattered my trust of "master" locks as I've watched your video. I used to think of them as a good brand but them I see stuff like this
5:11 "certainly not something that I would use to lock up any of my expensive vehicles" Well, do enlighten us, please. What exactly would you use instead? (just sheer curiosity) Cheers!
No idea about the dummy pins... maybe to make it look intimidating, maybe as passive pins... either way, it's BS to call this a 10 pin lock on the packaging.
No wonder you're a great lock picker! I thought the shot of the cylinder face was a static picture until you brought the pick in! Talk about fine muscle control.
I've never picked a lock before, and this is the first one that I instantly knew I could pick just by looking at it. The design is basically a tutorial.
“Sir, we have him locked up but…” “Say it!” “We think he’s breaking out! It’s a theory at best…” “Imposible, we have the best locks in the world!” “…hey guys, it’s *the lock picking lawyer*.” “Dear god…”
I enjoy your videos although they do cause me to worry slightly when I'm locking up my £3,500 mountain bike in my local city centre.. one question that I wish I had an accurate answer to.. how many bike thieves have any idea how to pick locks? I suspect less than 1%
Tom Williams most smackhead bike thieves won’t know a thing about lockpicking, most will simply attempt to use brute force, or bolt cutters to quickly pinch a bike. They won’t usually go for such a difficult target, Especially in a busy city centre.
I had one of these locks. It was very useful, just until it broke after a year of now-and-then use. One cuff wouldn't close anymore, the pin would just not stay popped in. I sent it back and received a new one. That new one broke in the same pattern, just another year of now-and-then use later. I sent it in the bin and now use a normal lock. I am very satisfied with my decision.
I expect the dummy pins are there to stop the use of tubular lock impressioning. Maybe they have a study saying impressioning is more common than picking. Maybe they just don’t care.
Perhaps, but a couple notes: First, I don't know of a 10 pin tubular lock impressioning tool. Second, there are FAR easier ways of preventing impressioning (i.e., use different length driver pins and/or different strength springs). Third, the dummy pins would not stop an impressioning tool from working. I can't really think of a logical reason for them.
@@lockpickinglawyer Its called the old fashioned,white bic pen and bic lighter truck. Pull out all the pen guts,and end plug. Heat end of the tube with lighter,till it softens. Jam it into tubular key hole. Let cool under push tension. Turn,and open.
Back in the early '90s I used a set of S&W Handcuffs through the front forks of a motorcycle and took out all of its spokes when the guy who had broken into a house ran out the back door and hopped onto the cycle and was promptly arrested as he hit the ground. It worked wonders, destroyed the front wheel and ended any chase.
To be fair, their $3500 guarantee probably does not include manipulation because there would be no way to prove that the key wasn't used to make a fraudulent claim...
@@AveryEremondi, a valid police report only proves that a report was made. It does not prove that the owner did not damage the lock, and ditch the bike.
@@adamstephens9611 - I think the point is that the chain is *very hard* to cut, and would probably require special power-tools that are more expensive than $3500. Also filing false police reports will get you in trouble. So if you report your bike as stolen, and a week later the police sees you riding it...
TheMrVengeance the links are hardened steel so you would need specialty tools you know something along the lines of a harbor freight angle grinder or a hacksaw and saw will power
This looks like a surprisingly good lock, a large warranty protecting against most physical attacks, and an unusual core stopping most beginner-intermediate lockpickers, and reading the warranty myself it looks like it should cover picking as well, but who knows what they will actually cover. The color coded dummy pins are also only weak to someone who has researched this particular lock.
I've use the Masterlock CuffLock on my bike for almost 20 years. I lock it in town at various places, some places are dark some are lit. The thing about thieves is that they are opportunists and don't really want to spend more than a couple of minutes fiddling with a lock. Even though it took the LPL just a few minutes, a thief would not spend that kind of time. Plus, since the CuffLock isn't common, just the sight of it would make a bike thief hesitate.
Same here, been using this on my little 50cc scooter for a couple of years now and never been worried about it getting stolen. They're intimidating enough that I doubt anyone would even try.
I have a manufactured tool for this lock. The RB tools 10 pin...it tensions around the outer rim, no centre post. What is the purpose behind the different centre-post cutout on here? If you like "high-sec" tubulars then I can get a few crazy ones.
No, you won't find it online. I can send you a picture if you like? It wasn't cheap either. Funny company, their bread and butter is in medical/surgery tools!
+Dan Thiels Pitbulls definitely help. Something like a quality 14+mm chain with a quality lock (Abus 37/80, Abloy 362, etc.) is about as good as it gets with respect to locking it up. Personally, I'd add GPS and insurance to the mix.
Rottweilers are also pretty effective. You could also try tapeing a bobcat to the seat. I knew some guy who used a rabid skunk and could leave his bike unlocked in downtown Detroit without getting jacked.

LPL's videos have made me realize that no lock is %100 secure but that doesn't make it worthless. This lock is a good example. Just because a very skilled lockpick opened it very quickly in a controlled environment doesn't mean it doesn't have some deterrent value in the real world. In the real world there are a lot of other factors to consider...
1) Not many people have these skills.
2) What is the value of the item I'm trying to steal? Is it worth me even trying if I might go to jail?
3) Are there witnesses around? Are they going to notice me suspiciously messing around with a bike lock for a minute or two and start asking questions? Is there a hidden camera filming me, giving them a nice long 2 minute look at me?
4) How is the lock situated? Is it positioned so that I can use my lockpicking skills easily? Or is there a sign, wall, piece of bike frame, etc. in the way that makes it a lot more difficult to pick than it was in the comfort of my home?
5) Okay, I've picked the lock, now what? I can't start the bike. Okay, me and my buddy will real quick roll it up this ramp into the back of a U-haul. Oh crap, it's got a wheel lock too! I guess I'll need to have 4 buddies so we can lift it into the U-Haul.
Etc. etc.
Seems like the main security feature of a lock like this is to deter a quick and dirty theft. Somebody coming up with bolt-cutters or something and then, with accomplices, hauling it away before anybody notices or reacts. If I owned a $60,000 bike I might not use this but I think it would be fine for less valuable bikes, like say in the $3500 range.
nicely done ! Bosnian bill had trouble tensioning a similar lock with the popping up center ( rock bros Hamburger lock 987 ) looks like you nailed it ;)
i was thinking the same thing
Christer Alex same here
+tonyholt90 Thanks. Bill had a harder job on that lock because of tighter quarters in the keyway... but from what I can see of that lock, a modified version of my method might work. Really impossible to tell unless you have the lock in your hand.
tonyholt90 are we picking on bill...lol.!
If someone picks it open just destroy it and claim a forceful opening.
Picking a lock leaves telltale scratches on the pins. They would, without a doubt, be able to tell that it had been picked at some point.
@@gimmethegepgun Even the key would scratch the pins, saying that a lock has scratches wouldn't be enough to conclude that it was definitely picked.
What an interesting lock. Great job picking brother as always. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thanks lpl, you have effectively shattered my trust of "master" locks as I've watched your video. I used to think of them as a good brand but them I see stuff like this
5:11 "certainly not something that I would use to lock up any of my expensive vehicles"
Well, do enlighten us, please. What exactly would you use instead? (just sheer curiosity)
Cheers!
Look up "LPL Bowley"
vault in the bottom of a nuclear missile silo.
isn't there anything you cant lockpick it seems like you can get at everything..... not boosting my confidence when buying a lock
There are MANY MANY locks that I can't pick. too many to even begin listing.
since i began watching you im guessing you can get into all the wafer locks right
@@lockpickinglawyer Can you, then, do a video showing all of those?
@@JamieVegas I think that's sarcasm bro lol
@@lockpickinglawyer can you show me just ONE? I can't take it no moe.
4:59 “and the cuff is open and I have your motorcycle now”. Favorite LPL moment
I appreciate your videos...thank you!
After watching this video, I actually went on Amazon to purchase one. I just like the novelty of it.
Another master lock wonder. nice pick my friend! thanks!!
Thanks.
Company: This lock cant be picked
This guy: *alright so lets go ahead and get on to exploit number 487...*
I like how he’s just like “and now I have your motorcycle”
wow thanks to this guy now the thieves and burglars has a favorite you tube channel
Fancy stuff these "street cuffs". Do you have any idea why they have dummy pins in the lock?
No idea about the dummy pins... maybe to make it look intimidating, maybe as passive pins... either way, it's BS to call this a 10 pin lock on the packaging.
Potti314 I suspect the steel coloured pins are hardened as anti-drill protection.
You are amazing at what you do. That's for f**king sure. Makes me wonder how you'd do under pressure, or in sketchy situations.
Are you trying to find a crew?
@@wvmike7008 it depends on who's asking. 😎
No wonder you're a great lock picker!
I thought the shot of the cylinder face was a static picture until you brought the pick in!
Talk about fine muscle control.
Another quality product from master lock
I would love to see destructive entry, seeing as they're so confident.
I have a feeling a shim at the "button" would have opened it even faster than picking it.
I've never picked a lock before, and this is the first one that I instantly knew I could pick just by looking at it. The design is basically a tutorial.
Education is power brother I love your show keep it up please never stop
Now that's a very visible lock to pick
“Sir, we have him locked up but…”
“Say it!”
“We think he’s breaking out! It’s a theory at best…”
“Imposible, we have the best locks in the world!”
“…hey guys, it’s *the lock picking lawyer*.”
“Dear god…”
I enjoy your videos although they do cause me to worry slightly when I'm locking up my £3,500 mountain bike in my local city centre.. one question that I wish I had an accurate answer to.. how many bike thieves have any idea how to pick locks? I suspect less than 1%
I'm not a bike thief but my hardest lockpick ever in my opinion is when I had to picklock my safe in my house. That was rough.
If I'm gonna steal something expensive I will know how to lock pick and I will be so happy to see a lock like this on a 60.000 dollar motorbike
Tom Williams most smackhead bike thieves won’t know a thing about lockpicking, most will simply attempt to use brute force, or bolt cutters to quickly pinch a bike. They won’t usually go for such a difficult target, Especially in a busy city centre.
love your videos
Finally found a lock that I have. Thanks.
3 years later CZcams reccomends during the 2020 race riots. I see what you're doing
Wow.... Another example of Mater Lock praying on the theory of security vs working towards actual security.
Yup... not very impressive.
I had one of these locks. It was very useful, just until it broke after a year of now-and-then use. One cuff wouldn't close anymore, the pin would just not stay popped in. I sent it back and received a new one. That new one broke in the same pattern, just another year of now-and-then use later. I sent it in the bin and now use a normal lock. I am very satisfied with my decision.
I really enjoy you're video's. I am a handcuff collector. I Love locks also.
I guess the real question is, what lock *would* you choose?
I expect the dummy pins are there to stop the use of tubular lock impressioning. Maybe they have a study saying impressioning is more common than picking. Maybe they just don’t care.
Perhaps, but a couple notes: First, I don't know of a 10 pin tubular lock impressioning tool. Second, there are FAR easier ways of preventing impressioning (i.e., use different length driver pins and/or different strength springs). Third, the dummy pins would not stop an impressioning tool from working. I can't really think of a logical reason for them.
Marketing. It's the only explanation. The board were obviously (easily) impressed.
@@lockpickinglawyer Its called the old fashioned,white bic pen and bic lighter truck.
Pull out all the pen guts,and end plug.
Heat end of the tube with lighter,till it softens.
Jam it into tubular key hole.
Let cool under push tension.
Turn,and open.
Back in the early '90s I used a set of S&W Handcuffs through the front forks of a motorcycle and took out all of its spokes when the guy who had broken into a house ran out the back door and hopped onto the cycle and was promptly arrested as he hit the ground. It worked wonders, destroyed the front wheel and ended any chase.
Fascinating
"A relatively easy lock to open, once you solve several chalkboards full of differential calculus."
What’s this guys favorite lock I wanna see him struggle to open something and then say it’s the best lock he’s ever seen
You are a genius ! :)
i love this channel
Does your wife keep getting out of your regular handcuffs?
Well welcome to these new handcuffs, and guess what? There wife proof!
To be fair, their $3500 guarantee probably does not include manipulation because there would be no way to prove that the key wasn't used to make a fraudulent claim...
There's no way to prove the owner didn't cut the chain to make a fraudulent claim
@@adamstephens9611 a valid police report number should suffice.
@@AveryEremondi, a valid police report only proves that a report was made. It does not prove that the owner did not damage the lock, and ditch the bike.
@@adamstephens9611 - I think the point is that the chain is *very hard* to cut, and would probably require special power-tools that are more expensive than $3500. Also filing false police reports will get you in trouble. So if you report your bike as stolen, and a week later the police sees you riding it...
TheMrVengeance the links are hardened steel so you would need specialty tools you know something along the lines of a harbor freight angle grinder or a hacksaw and saw will power
This looks like a surprisingly good lock, a large warranty protecting against most physical attacks, and an unusual core stopping most beginner-intermediate lockpickers, and reading the warranty myself it looks like it should cover picking as well, but who knows what they will actually cover. The color coded dummy pins are also only weak to someone who has researched this particular lock.
I've use the Masterlock CuffLock on my bike for almost 20 years. I lock it in town at various places, some places are dark some are lit. The thing about thieves is that they are opportunists and don't really want to spend more than a couple of minutes fiddling with a lock. Even though it took the LPL just a few minutes, a thief would not spend that kind of time. Plus, since the CuffLock isn't common, just the sight of it would make a bike thief hesitate.
Same here, been using this on my little 50cc scooter for a couple of years now and never been worried about it getting stolen. They're intimidating enough that I doubt anyone would even try.
"And the cuff is open and I have your motorcycle now" 😂😂😂
I have a manufactured tool for this lock. The RB tools 10 pin...it tensions around the outer rim, no centre post. What is the purpose behind the different centre-post cutout on here? If you like "high-sec" tubulars then I can get a few crazy ones.
I can't find it... link? As for the cutout, it allows movement of the inner lug in the key.
No, you won't find it online. I can send you a picture if you like? It wasn't cheap either. Funny company, their bread and butter is in medical/surgery tools!
Please... see the email under the "about" tab on my page. Thanks. :-)
These locks are getting very intimidating when I saw that lock I was in awe
"any of my expensive vehicles" I see you flexing there lpl
what motorcycle lock do you recommend ?? besides one with a pitbull attached to it
+Dan Thiels Pitbulls definitely help. Something like a quality 14+mm chain with a quality lock (Abus 37/80, Abloy 362, etc.) is about as good as it gets with respect to locking it up. Personally, I'd add GPS and insurance to the mix.
Rottweilers are also pretty effective.
You could also try tapeing a bobcat to the seat.
I knew some guy who used a rabid skunk and could leave his bike unlocked in downtown Detroit without getting jacked.
“And I have your motorcycle now” lol
lego chains are amazing
I've never picked a lock before but visibly seeing the pins makes me feel like I could with realitve ease...
