@@whaddabunchashit I think that's the point. Sometimes he's showing off, and sometimes he's showing us how easy picking can be if you have the things he sells.
The lock is immunized against all dangers: One may call him low-quality, simple, small, heavy, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But use a lockpick and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly swings open: "I’ve been unlocked."
In light of the “cheap casting” on the exterior I’d like to see LPL install it on a real door and see if it can be opened by wailing on it with a hammer.
Weird comment, seeing as there wasn't any flaw with any of the convenience features of the lock shown. It's a cheap lock, but the picking method shown is just as effective on far more expensive and well made locks without any of the electronic features. The flaw in most of the electronic locks shown by LPL is the mechanical backup lock and most of them would be far more secure without it.
Generally speaking as you cram more "features" into a system the less secure and more prone to vulnerabilities it will become. That goes double for high tech stuff that also requires low tech solutions to function as the low tech option will be largely ignored.
Lasted 37 seconds against LPL with a very sophisticated picking tool. That's pretty good! For a cheap lock especially. People are just going to drill through this, aren't they?
In case anyone else is wondering, this and the version without the fingerprint reader use a standard replaceable lock core, and the front panel has direct control over the motor and such in the back (as opposed to some models with serial communication between front and back).
I'd be really interested in seeing you pick with one of the Lishi tools and then follow it up by picking with a classic hook and turner. It would be interesting to see what the difference in time taken and effort is. Whenever you pick with just the tool I find myself wondering just how much time you're saving yourself by having that tool, and if not having it significantly increases the difficulty.
One of the hardest parts of picking is definitely keeping track of what pin you're actually interacting with. If I was a professional locksmith I'd absolutely have a box full of Lishi tools
I don't think it would take any more time with regular picks, Lishi don't help much for experienced pickers who are able to maintain pick positioning, he only uses them to convey information about what's going on inside the lock to you, the viewer. I'd argue it might take even less time with regular picks since he doesn't need to do all the showy displays of picking
"cheap plastic" I have a keypad for the garage door that's a Genie rotating code system. It doesn't need a backup cylinder lock, as it's not a primary entry point and it's a remote and doesn't directly lock a door. It feels semi-cheap, but the plastic body and cover has withstood the elements and the Texas sun for more than 20 years now. It would be interesting to get LPL's opinions on plastic bodies _when they are appropriate_ so as not to scare people off such devices and help them choose options they might not have thought about before.
For some reason, after watching LPL for years, it just occurred to me: why don't security pins that require counter rotation cause other set pins to reset? Are the manufacturing tolerances that low that you can counter rotate without leaving enough room for the pins to reset, or are resetting pins an actual issue on higher quality locks?
I think you've done it before but what do you think about maybe doing a video with your current take on what the best locks to buy are for certain task, lets say three catigories, best door lock, best padlock and best gun lock as those are things you've done frequently in the past and you standereds are a known quanitity, id say also the best bike lock but your views on those are very much a known quantity as well so we wont bother.
Just saw a lock that would interest you. Not sure of the name but easily found searching for “snake key lock” has a chain like key for reference to be sure that’s it.
As a follow up on Smartlocks.... Here in Norway/Europe, we have multiple options, but I've seen few that also provides a key option. Like the Yale Doorman, it's BLE/Wi-Fi/RFID or keypad.. Have you ever tried one of those, I've been tempted to send you one, but... They are expensive, between 550 and 700 USD.
Honest Question: Why? Whats wrong about a key? Every single "function" a lock has (that isnt locking stuff) is just a potential attack point. apart from that, it does not matter at all to homeowners. if somebody REALLY wants into your house, they wont be held up by the door, but smash a window. and for "casual thieves", basically everything that isnt complete garbage will suffice. nobody lockpicks to steal stuff. they'll crowbar your door, get in, steal all the valuables in classic spots, and get out. the goal is for the entire thing to take less than 3 minutes, you wont fiddle around a door lock.
Super cool tool! How do you choose which Lishi tool to buy to have a good chance of conquering the most common locks? If I were to buy 3 Lishi tools, which ones are the most commonly used? Thanks :)
@@lucaslra He has lots of videos picking spools etc. The Lishi makes it easier for most to see what is happening that do not understand. If you understand than it does not matter what he uses.
@@lucaslra Yes, he does make it look so easy. Even the Lishi is not as easy as he makes it look. Though working on older locks is often more difficult then new.
What does the thumb print scanner do for the lock? Is it just an alarm or key authorization tool? I’m guessing it doesn’t do anything useful like lift an extra security pin since he could pick it without installation.
I think if I had the choice of an indestructible lock body with an easily bypassed/picked lock, or a cheep body lock with a decent core that isn't easily picked or bypassed, I'll take the stronger core most any time. At least then if someone goes the easy way, there would be destructive evidence that you can investigate. If it's easily bypassed, you may not notice anything missing until it's too late to know when it happened for investigative reasons.
Mm.. I would rather go for the stronger body. Most burglars don't lockpick. I don't remember the exact statistic but it's like.. 90% of break ins use destructive methods. On top of that, it's not easy to tell how easy a lock is to pick from the outside. And the strong, well made body could give the Illusion of some top security high tech lock with a great core. Which would probably keep the few people away that use lock picks.
Suggestion for a video. There have been photos cycling around social media where a grocery store has started locking egg cartons. I think you should do a video on how easy it is to bypass it.
Could you pick a HS security UK padlock please?? I use it for my bike but not sure how secure it is due to the flimsy feel of the key, its crescent shaped with a row of bimples down the middle
Hello LPL, It has became almost routine for you to open these commercial locks with great ease, as you were almost annoyed by the triviality of the task. Be sure, you opening a lock never becomes old, and I'm never tired of watching. Thank you for all your efforts. Regards from the UK, Anthony
Okay but the point of a lock isn't to make it convinient for you to open a door but to make it hard for others to do so. So what about its drill resistance say?
I lock the storage room where I keep all the gas for my old Messerschmitt with this lock. My friend lost a few teeth trying to crack it and couldn't get trough
Oof. While I definitely wanted to get a lichi tool I didn't realize it was going to be a few hundred dollars as they are not universal. Definitely not for hobbyists.
Have you ever encountered a lock that was more difficult or one that you haven’t been able to pick? If so could we see videos of you trying to pick them
It basically depends on if there's a Lishi tool for a given lock. They are typically available for automotive and deadbolt locks, though for some reason, there is one for Master locks.
Buy both a kit & maybe a couple of the Lishi tools that fit the most common key-ways used in house & padlocks where you live. Then practice a lot with both! One thing to remember with using Lishi tools is to never apply much force, otherwise they'll break!
what do you mean? LPL uses lishi when he has one that fits the keyway, the average person who wants to learn how to pick should not be buying lishi, as they don't actually aid your learning
I use this lock but my best defense is the 3 retired ladies in different Houses across the street that like to sit outside all day and gossip. I live in Florida so it's year long past time.
I have a lock that can only be opened by a Apple Homekit command from a verified user account. Then I have an RFID by the lock that activates a shortcut on that account when scanned by my iPhone. So, in short, bringing my unlocked Apple watch close to the lock is the way to unlock it. Much better than a physical key when carrying a bag of shopping in each hand.
@@thelockpickingspoon9074 ok :) i kinda knew that, most common residential locks i see have "assa abloy" written on them, do you know if a lishi sc4 will fit in one of those? the reason i bought it is because of the ease in decoding the lock.
@@slavsquench7693 it wouldn't. ASSA uses their own set of keyways, and even then most ASSA locks are incredibly difficult to pick. I'd like to see LPL try to tackle one these days, it'd blow away the audience

In light of the “cheap casting” on the exterior I’d like to see LPL install it on a real door and see if it can be opened by wailing on it with a hammer.
TBF, theres a reason the shop is called "covert instruments", once you except wailing on it with a hammer you can also just tap in a window.
