LPL: This is the LockPickingLawyer and what I have for you today is a welded shut slot machine which I am going to open using only a poker chip and a box of cereal.
Hello, this is the LockPickingLaywer, and today I have a challenge. I have to open a welded shut slot machine. This is no real problem for the plasma cutter I brought for this very occasion.
This is the lock picking lawyer and today I'm going to demonstrate the weakness of this welded Simon brand safe. Now I'm going to use my covert oxyacetylene needle and just melt these pins right off, because they use cheap metal. That's all for today folks
"It takes a fair bit of skill to open" in LPL speak means only a handful of the best could do it. This is something you will never hear said about anything from Master.
@@HerecomestheCalaveraRimgard's argument is, particularly if the wheels are expensive/desireable, the thief will want to avoid damaging the wheels, otherwise their value is lowered and/or it becomes obvious that they were stolen, and prying the lock off or cutting it is likely to cause damage to the wheel. Which leaves picking, which is hard to do.

This was the most unsure ive ever heard him while picking a lock, and he STILL got it done in less than three minutes! (Maybe under 8 minutes if he picked it with no key to give direction away)
It’s not a bad product it seems. It would take LPL 12 minutes just to take the guards off and then he’d still have to take off the wheels, taking half an hour just to steal some wheels seems way too risky

@@Kingcloudii you have insider knowledge. However, prying it off will more than likely damage the wheel you are trying to steal. So that would be the less desired approach
Yeah they got it off and damaged the wheel in the process, rims are stolen to sell. Pointless if you damage them. The one they use in that video is a super flat rim. Something super easy to get under and pry on with minimal damage. I have them installed on BMW wheels. No way you could just pry it off like they did without really damaging the wheel.

I googled this core and read a bit about it. But now I am really interested in seeing it gutted, because I can't even imagine how a springless core works!
It works by having gravity essentially do the spring's work for it. The Desmo has sliders that move freely up and down and their gates interact with a sidebar that is pushed in by the lock housing which pushes into its gates. LPL did pick the lock with both 6 sliders (the one shown here) and 8 sliders (the harder one, but equally as fun to pick) on an earlier video of his complete with gutting.
@@erikbergstrom258 less rust, but dust, yes. i guess its for the situation when you park a expensive car under a carport or something, i think then its not so much of a problem. but usually these abloy cores are found - like lpl said - in museums, jeweleries etc.
Which, to be fair, is true. And it took LPL considerably longer on this lock than most, which actually is a very good sign. No lock if ever be pick proof, but you can make it such a pain its not worth it.
Locks can absolutely be pick proof, there are several which have never been shown picked online like the Bowley padlock and the abloy Protec 2. They can be impressioned but it probably takes ages@@Destin5258
I now judge how difficult locks are to pick based on duration of LPL's videos, this one being over 5 minutes makes me realize it's one of the hardest locks to pick.
Lol. I remember reading about their test procedures for those, I'd love to hear the stories behind some of those tests ("doesn't malfunction when electrocuted with cattle prod"). Security on those is serious business.
Which seems odd, now that there isn't any actual money in most slot machines any more. I guess they don't want people dicking with the internal electronics?
As soon as he said "I probably would have wasted several minutes" to explain about the direction, I flat out didn't believe him. If the LPL says that statement, unless followed by "picking 30 masterlocks," I have trouble believing it to be true, but apparently, this lock did take a few minutes to do the right way. Color me impressed!
*LPL Going to Las Vegas with his wife* LPL: Ok folks, some people think that slot machines are lucked based, they are not. Wife: Wai-What? What are you doing ?! LPL: Nothing on one, Two is binding...
No offense but LPL wife seems the kind of girl that would try and smash the machine with a baseball bat all the while her husband was trying to pick the lock…
Ah but so much busier then the quiet environment shown here. Imagine bells, whistles, chatter of a casino and then trying to hear if the pin clicked up… plus cameras and people looking like crazy.
@@asdf12347109 some of donuts stuff is lame. but there shows like B2B. HiLow and Everything you need to know is amazing content. Its what the core of the channel is. Collaborations from similar sized channels is a great way to benefit both channels.
@@asdf12347109 What? All thats happening is Donut is giving LPL exposure, and Maybe getting a couple subscribers in return. I would see your point if it was a IRL collab, where LPL had to exit his format and betray his Style for the benefit of Someone else's video, but that's not what happened. Donut literally just Gave LPL a video that would serve as a companion to their own. and ngl, this is one of the more Entertaining LPL vids I've seen in a while. He Almost Kinda struggled.
2min 40secs to pick by a pro lock picker on his bench vs. 65 sec to pry off by a criminal. If the company can make it more pry resistant, it wouldn't be a bad product.
Was just thinking this. The guys stealing rims aren't the ones who would take time to pick a lock. Brute force would be used and is faster for this lock.
The thing is that ir requires a lot of brute force to open and the thief is likely not going to want to go through the trouble of taking this off making a ton of noise for at least like 5 minutes (65s is only one wheel) and then end up having a damaged wheel that drops it's value tremendously as well as making it easyer to spot those wheels when attempting to resell them based on the damage
@@Solnoric These days, they steal the fuel before stealing the rims. Repairing the damage from fuel theft reportedly run into thousands of dollars for a replacement fuel tank that cannot be repaired without significant risk of explosion.
Wow after watching them destroy the body of that lug nut cover a few weeks ago I was certainly surprised to see LPL take that much time to pick the core. I guess that’s where the $450 price tag comes from. Too bad the cover wasn’t more resilient.
thats always something i find so funny about these videos, most of the times the lock/core is easily picked despite what they claim, but the ones that are ACTUALLY pick resistant usually have a weaker link somewhere else, i really feel like in this specific case, if someone was dead set on stealing your rims (and just having a lock didint deter) that they would sooner pry it open than pick it
Well if i remember right they did not put that lock on real nice wheels ither. On real nice rims trying to rip that sucker off might do more damage to the wheels finish meaning a thief would probably just move on to a different target
a slightly scratched wheel is better than no wheel. even if you have to get a new one you also get the satisfaction that at least the other guy didnt get it. regardless it of course sucks either way but better than nothing. another good thing about these is with them on it doesnt look like a guy changing a tire it looks pretty obviously they are stealing it. which can protect the car in some areas
@@nanaki-seto well, if were talking about a thief that didn't care which wheels he got, as long as he got some, they would see the lock and walk on to the next. We're talking about a determined, premeditated theft, they arent just going to settle for 40-dollar OEM rims on the Prius next door, They want your Super valuable forged aftermarket wheels, and nothing gonna stop them, unless it's something that can Actually physically stop them. They could probably wrap their Pry bar in rags, and sneak some painter's tape behind the wheel lock, then Go Ham on it. It would take them an extra few minutes, but in the middle of the night, that likely won't matter too much unless you've taken Other measures to protect yourself from Theft. Camera's, Smart Doorbells, etc. Locks only protect you from lazy thieves and honest people, which Should be enough for most situations, but if you fear theft strongly enough, Locks aren't a Reliable Last line of defense.
Considering the difficulty lpl had and the fact it would be in an awkward position if actually on the car i feel like this is one lock that actually is functionally "pick-proofc" as the chances of anyone actually disarming it by picking in the real world are extremely low
This was my thought too and LPL even stated it at the end. Out in the real world, this would be mounted to a wheel, so you'd presumably have to kneel way down and work in an uncomfortable position, and you wouldn't be able to get your hands behind it either. Not to mention, time would be a big factor, but you could say that about virtually any of the locks LPL reviews.
1:18 I like to think that LPL just knows all of his video numbers and their subjects without having to look it up. Seriously though, he must have a master spreadsheet outlining each video number paired with the locks used, tools used, and other pertinant tags about what was covered.
Do you actually know any (good) lawyers? This is how a good one rolls. If they don't have an eidetic memory, they have an awesome filing system with assistants that know it very well.
It said high pick resistance, not pick proof. This still lasted about 3 minutes against an experienced lock picker, so I would say that is more than good enough. The issue is prying it off in just over a minute
@@maxfingal most thieves leave if they can't get a lock open in under a minute. 3 minutes per wheel, that's over 12 minutes, thats if a professional is trying to pick them. I would trust this lock, considering someone can just steal your catalytic converter in about a minute with the right tools
@@philtheboi358 given that they can pop it off with a pry bar in a minute, someone looking to steal would probably go with that. Though in most cases they would go to the next car.
@@satibel if your rims are expensive enough you want a lock for them, anyone except the dumbest of dumbasses is gonna want to minimize damage when stealing them.
@@satibel No they won't, they'd be damaging the rim they want to resell, as was done in Donut Media's video. Their rim was also flat and thus very easy to get under with a pry bar.
but you fail to take into account all the other added expenses that you would incure if your wheels are stolen. you have to replace all 4 wheels AND tires, then you have to pay for a tow truck, and most likely you would need to pay for a re alignment for your car and possibly some damage to the brake rotors since they were on the ground. on top of all that, you have to face the trauma of coming back to your car to find that you are helpless because your wheels got stolen. chances are that if your wheels got stolen, then you probably also have a broken window and stuff stolen from the car. The tires and wheels alone are MORE expensive than buying 4 of these wheel locks, but then you add everything else in and its a no brainer, it is way way cheaper to buy the wheel locks and save yourself massive headaches and money in the long run.
@@orion7741 For this money I can get 2 years of insurance that includes 0 excess for thefts like these. Probably It pays off to buy cheap wheel guards and 4 RIMGUARD stickers.
Every time I think that 'yeah this lock is new to him, I have never seen him picking it" he comes with very old videos where he already picked it. like is there actually any lock that he hasn’t picked it. what a professional
I had posted in a Donut Media post in the video about this lock how: "I couldn't wait for LPL to pick this -shitty- lock in literally seconds" Picked it in 160 seconds, while explaining/commenting, and you are the greatest that ever did it *every* time. But, I far underestimated that lock! =/ I thought it was some half-assed wafer lock, but I see now I was greatly mistaken. Great work as always tho' LPL!
I bought this lock after my rims were stolen. I thought it was secure and this gives me some reasurance. Maybe not the fact that at Donut they were able to remove it in 65 second, but seeing how long it took to pick definitely helps
Iirc in the video by donut they said that it was partially to do with how these locks sat on the wheels, they weren't fully flush on the wheels they had it on.
@@kenneth6102 Not really, they stole all of the rims on my brand new 2022 accord within 2 weeks of me getting the car. Insurance picked up the car, as soon as I got it I started parking on a private garage and put those locks on. They haven't stolen them yet, but they have scrached my car a whole lot. Oh well, that's what you get for trying to have nice things in the Bronx.
Well, the good news is that because the prying attack apparently damages the rims, it’s actually pretty secure. There’s no point in prying off the lock to get the rims if you’re going to destroy the rims in the process. Cause if you damage the rims, all you really get is scrap metal. And of course, your lock doesn’t need to be completely impenetrable. It’s like escaping a hungry bear. You don’t have to outrun the bear. You just have to run faster than the guy next to you.
Shoutout LPL for always being willing to be loads of creators final check for "pick resistance" or even "unlockable" Your contribution to already great content is far and wide, and I'm all here for it.
Your understanding how lock mechanisms work is Pretty dam Awesome. Love it. So nice to see someone understanding the theory and putting into practice.👍
I love this channel, at 33 I still pick my way into my parent's house because I trained on their locks at the ripe age of 12 with homemade picks. Those picks still live in my wallet and even though I'm no expert, I am never frustrated when I accidentally lock myself out of my house without my keys. These are all very useful skills to possess and learn them early because you'll be practicing for your entire life. I have cracked multiple safes as well for fun, anything mechanical like this intrigues me and is always victim to its own tolerances and manipulation. Keep up the great videos brother!
I recently picked up a covert companion set and have been playing around with a master lock I had sitting around. You make it look so easy in your videos but I struggle to open even this simple lock.(which I did manage to rake open once) It makes me appreciate your skill even more.
Lovely. At least you show your almost fails and even admits. I like when people I put above me fails or almost fails. I get to learn so much more and keep pushing on
@@Elkadetodd Those are the worst. A friend got rather annoyed when someone smashed a side window in his car in order to steal a dirt cheap stereo. In some places it is so bad that people leave their cars unlocked to avoid damage when thieves loot them.
Well done! That's directed to Donut for their entertaining video, to you, LPL, for picking this lock, and to Rimguard for making a quality product. Kudos all around.
well the core is good but in the Donut video they literally pried it off the wheel in like a minute. so while im honestly not sure about the qualitative state of the product, i am absolutely certain its not worth 450$ lol
It amazes me that all we see is a pair of hands but deep in that core we have some serious maneuvering going on perfectly narrated by Mr. LPL. Awesome videos man 👍🏽
I imagine it's like putting expanded metal or other armor over a catalytic converter - it's not impossible to defeat it, it's just more difficult which causes thieves to pick easier targets.
I have these on my 2021 accord sport. Only thing that keeps people from stealing my sport wheels. I know you can pry them off, but generally if you make things just a little bit more difficult people will skip you.
OK, wait, why would you spend this much money to put anti-wheel theft on an accord of all cars? Plus, with how easy they pry off you almost certainly would get better protection with the conventional keyed lug nuts that are available for 1/50th of the cost.
Yes! I've been waiting for this video since watching the Donut one. Can't say i expected much from this lock considering how long it took them to just pry it off the wheel but when you mentioned that this lock type was used in slot machines and museums i realized where the price was coming from. With all this publicity they might actually make improvements in the future. Thanks for covering this one.
To be fair, he started picking around 1:50, and opened it around 4:30, so a little less than 3 minutes (although he admits in the wild it may have taken him a few more minutes because he would have tried to turn it clockwise rather than counter clockwise). Still decent tho
Great job ! Looks like it was a bit of a challenge even for a pro like yourself, I always enjoy watching your videos, Thank you for sharing your skills with us all 👍
You'd have to do that 5 times in the wild: Once clockwise to find out you have it wrong, then once for each wheel. If it took him a few minutes you know even a skilled lockpicker is dedicating an hour to picking all of these and to actually remove the wheels. Furthermore Prying it off would damage them. In short they essentially make the theft of your wheels something to not be concerned about.
Chances are all 4 would be keyed alike, so with each it would take less time. The positioning of the sliders is something you could memorize and apply as you go. Still a damn good lock, but do you have to spend $450 for each wheel? That's $1800!
@@KF1 Nah they'd all need different keys, different biting, 100% because you'd be buying them individually it would be silly if 1 key opened all locks by that brand. I don't know the answer to the next part. Machinery, probably.
@@MintRobin Naw should be single key. Separate for each is inconvenient and cumbersome amount of keys from a user perspective. I hate having ton of keys on the keychain like an old janitor
@@bigtitmaster I guess whenever it's time to change winter tires. And then back again in the spring, plus tire rotation. * Also have to be able to at any time in case of a flat etc, or when you change your brake pads, or anything that requires the wheels come off, which is more often than you might think from a maintenance perspective. You gotta produce now a handful more keys to give your mechanic every time you go there just in case he needs to take them off When paying $1800 for a set of locks, no way it's 4 keys. 1 key that's tits.
I just wanted to say that your videos are super interesting. I got super into lock picking as a teenager but sadly never got mich use out of it. Until my most recent move when the keys to the lock on the truck i used dissappeared. Luckily my friend had a pair of lock picks he was willing to let me borrow. With my spouse and friend both seriously doubting me, i got to work. I watched your video the night before in the same lock and felt like it was doable. It was a cheapo masterlock circular one and as my spouse prepared to grab something to break it with ot popped free. Took me about 5 minutes before i got my technique to come back but ill say i never felt prouder. Bonus my friend gave me the pick set as a birthday gift and Ivw gotten back into it ans am practicing. Thanks for the help LPL.

now we need some trailcam footage of LPL, preferrably going down the street just picking every lock he encounters!

I love how their website just goes "Yeah, well, just because Lockpicking Lawyer can do it doesn't mean it's not secure!"
Which website?
@@pierretadrus5285 The one referenced by Donut in their letter.
Which, to be fair, is true. And it took LPL considerably longer on this lock than most, which actually is a very good sign. No lock if ever be pick proof, but you can make it such a pain its not worth it.
Locks can absolutely be pick proof, there are several which have never been shown picked online like the Bowley padlock and the abloy Protec 2. They can be impressioned but it probably takes ages@@Destin5258
I now judge how difficult locks are to pick based on duration of LPL's videos, this one being over 5 minutes makes me realize it's one of the hardest locks to pick.
Company : "This is a very pick resistant core"
Me : "HAha"
Company : "Used in vegas slot machines"
Me : Starts sweating
Lol. I remember reading about their test procedures for those, I'd love to hear the stories behind some of those tests ("doesn't malfunction when electrocuted with cattle prod"). Security on those is serious business.
Aaaahahaha yuuuup we were all right there with you.
Which seems odd, now that there isn't any actual money in most slot machines any more. I guess they don't want people dicking with the internal electronics?
@@darrennew8211HEY ....hey. I'm just old fashioned ok?
Sounds like a millennial reddit comment
The most LPL-proof lock i've seen in a lot of time. Couple of minutes? Madness!!
As soon as he said "I probably would have wasted several minutes" to explain about the direction, I flat out didn't believe him. If the LPL says that statement, unless followed by "picking 30 masterlocks," I have trouble believing it to be true, but apparently, this lock did take a few minutes to do the right way. Color me impressed!
And then 3 more wheels to go ...
LPL: "fair bit of skill to pick"
Me: Its impossible to pick unless you're a god
LPL : "I feel like it is moving"
Me : Ok, this is incredibly hard to pick
*LPL Going to Las Vegas with his wife*
LPL: Ok folks, some people think that slot machines are lucked based, they are not.
Wife: Wai-What? What are you doing ?!
LPL: Nothing on one, Two is binding...
No offense but LPL wife seems the kind of girl that would try and smash the machine with a baseball bat all the while her husband was trying to pick the lock…
Ah but so much busier then the quiet environment shown here. Imagine bells, whistles, chatter of a casino and then trying to hear if the pin clicked up… plus cameras and people looking like crazy.

@@asdf12347109 some of donuts stuff is lame. but there shows like B2B. HiLow and Everything you need to know is amazing content. Its what the core of the channel is. Collaborations from similar sized channels is a great way to benefit both channels.
@@asdf12347109 What? All thats happening is Donut is giving LPL exposure, and Maybe getting a couple subscribers in return. I would see your point if it was a IRL collab, where LPL had to exit his format and betray his Style for the benefit of Someone else's video, but that's not what happened. Donut literally just Gave LPL a video that would serve as a companion to their own. and ngl, this is one of the more Entertaining LPL vids I've seen in a while. He Almost Kinda struggled.
Shame donut media is made up of mostly insufferable people making bottom of the barrel content though
I’m impressed, haven’t seen LPL take that long on any lock let alone one claiming to be pick resistant.
After watching LPL work on this for over 2 minutes, I'd say this one gets A+ rating against your average junkie trying to pick it.
Junkies don’t pick locks they use brute force not finesse.
2min 40secs to pick by a pro lock picker on his bench vs. 65 sec to pry off by a criminal.
If the company can make it more pry resistant, it wouldn't be a bad product.
Was just thinking this. The guys stealing rims aren't the ones who would take time to pick a lock. Brute force would be used and is faster for this lock.
The thing is that ir requires a lot of brute force to open and the thief is likely not going to want to go through the trouble of taking this off making a ton of noise for at least like 5 minutes (65s is only one wheel) and then end up having a damaged wheel that drops it's value tremendously as well as making it easyer to spot those wheels when attempting to resell them based on the damage
65 seconds is too long. The guys trying to steal rims will just move on and hit the next car.
@@Solnoric These days, they steal the fuel before stealing the rims. Repairing the damage from fuel theft reportedly run into thousands of dollars for a replacement fuel tank that cannot be repaired without significant risk of explosion.
LPL isn't a pro lock picker, he's a legendary lock picker. Big difference. Most locksmiths don't come close to his skill level.
Wow after watching them destroy the body of that lug nut cover a few weeks ago I was certainly surprised to see LPL take that much time to pick the core. I guess that’s where the $450 price tag comes from. Too bad the cover wasn’t more resilient.
thats always something i find so funny about these videos, most of the times the lock/core is easily picked despite what they claim, but the ones that are ACTUALLY pick resistant usually have a weaker link somewhere else, i really feel like in this specific case, if someone was dead set on stealing your rims (and just having a lock didint deter) that they would sooner pry it open than pick it
Well if i remember right they did not put that lock on real nice wheels ither. On real nice rims trying to rip that sucker off might do more damage to the wheels finish meaning a thief would probably just move on to a different target
@@nanaki-seto Exactly, but probably after they've done the damage.
a slightly scratched wheel is better than no wheel. even if you have to get a new one you also get the satisfaction that at least the other guy didnt get it. regardless it of course sucks either way but better than nothing.
another good thing about these is with them on it doesnt look like a guy changing a tire it looks pretty obviously they are stealing it. which can protect the car in some areas
@@nanaki-seto well, if were talking about a thief that didn't care which wheels he got, as long as he got some, they would see the lock and walk on to the next. We're talking about a determined, premeditated theft, they arent just going to settle for 40-dollar OEM rims on the Prius next door, They want your Super valuable forged aftermarket wheels, and nothing gonna stop them, unless it's something that can Actually physically stop them. They could probably wrap their Pry bar in rags, and sneak some painter's tape behind the wheel lock, then Go Ham on it.
It would take them an extra few minutes, but in the middle of the night, that likely won't matter too much unless you've taken Other measures to protect yourself from Theft. Camera's, Smart Doorbells, etc. Locks only protect you from lazy thieves and honest people, which Should be enough for most situations, but if you fear theft strongly enough, Locks aren't a Reliable Last line of defense.
Considering the difficulty lpl had and the fact it would be in an awkward position if actually on the car i feel like this is one lock that actually is functionally "pick-proofc" as the chances of anyone actually disarming it by picking in the real world are extremely low
the problem is that noone is going to have the lpl level of training, but anyone can use the prybar method...
This was my thought too and LPL even stated it at the end. Out in the real world, this would be mounted to a wheel, so you'd presumably have to kneel way down and work in an uncomfortable position, and you wouldn't be able to get your hands behind it either. Not to mention, time would be a big factor, but you could say that about virtually any of the locks LPL reviews.
Surprisingly the most impressive lock I have seen on this channel so far.
The collaboration we didnt know we needed
Ikr
D o n u t s
@Don't read profile photo no
Could you imagine LPL and Ordinary Sausage collab?
Nobody needs a collaboration with Donut Media.
1:18 I like to think that LPL just knows all of his video numbers and their subjects without having to look it up.
Seriously though, he must have a master spreadsheet outlining each video number paired with the locks used, tools used, and other pertinant tags about what was covered.
Or he just searched for it
Do you actually know any (good) lawyers? This is how a good one rolls. If they don't have an eidetic memory, they have an awesome filing system with assistants that know it very well.
"oh yes, 1457."
I picture a wall of VHS tapes labeled on a shelf somewhere in LPLs place.
I love how everyone colabs with LPL, he's just so great.
Rimgard: "Our lock really can't be picked"
LPL: "Finally! A worthy opponent"
And since LPL just picked it once I think this is a fluke 😂
It said high pick resistance, not pick proof. This still lasted about 3 minutes against an experienced lock picker, so I would say that is more than good enough. The issue is prying it off in just over a minute
*fluke
@@doctorwhouse3881 Thanks! corrected!
With that description from the manufacturer, LPL has to put it on a wheel in a badly lit garage to show it's not a fluke.
pin decoding is never a fluke.
its still a hard lock to pick, so a beginner in a shitty position with bad lights = 1 hour per wheel to pick them.
LPL almost sounded fatigued when he finally got this open. That’ll be next. Lock makers will just make locks that physically tire the thief out.
If you can’t beat ‘em, drain em 😤
@@maxfingal most thieves leave if they can't get a lock open in under a minute. 3 minutes per wheel, that's over 12 minutes, thats if a professional is trying to pick them. I would trust this lock, considering someone can just steal your catalytic converter in about a minute with the right tools
@@philtheboi358 given that they can pop it off with a pry bar in a minute, someone looking to steal would probably go with that.
Though in most cases they would go to the next car.
@@satibel if your rims are expensive enough you want a lock for them, anyone except the dumbest of dumbasses is gonna want to minimize damage when stealing them.
@@satibel No they won't, they'd be damaging the rim they want to resell, as was done in Donut Media's video. Their rim was also flat and thus very easy to get under with a pry bar.
Not many people have wheels on their car that cost as much as this lock. At $450 each, thieves would be more likely to steal the locks!
EACH?!!! Those wheel locks cost 450 EACH?!! 🤯 Wow!
$450 for the whole set
A good strategy, but reselling the locks would be hard if the thief doesn't have the key as well.
but you fail to take into account all the other added expenses that you would incure if your wheels are stolen. you have to replace all 4 wheels AND tires, then you have to pay for a tow truck, and most likely you would need to pay for a re alignment for your car and possibly some damage to the brake rotors since they were on the ground. on top of all that, you have to face the trauma of coming back to your car to find that you are helpless because your wheels got stolen. chances are that if your wheels got stolen, then you probably also have a broken window and stuff stolen from the car. The tires and wheels alone are MORE expensive than buying 4 of these wheel locks, but then you add everything else in and its a no brainer, it is way way cheaper to buy the wheel locks and save yourself massive headaches and money in the long run.
@@orion7741 For this money I can get 2 years of insurance that includes 0 excess for thefts like these. Probably It pays off to buy cheap wheel guards and 4 RIMGUARD stickers.
Every time I think that 'yeah this lock is new to him, I have never seen him picking it" he comes with very old videos where he already picked it. like is there actually any lock that he hasn’t picked it. what a professional
I love Donut Media. This is fabulous that they connected with you for this challenge. Thumbs up as always
I had posted in a Donut Media post in the video about this lock how: "I couldn't wait for LPL to pick this -shitty- lock in literally seconds"
Picked it in 160 seconds, while explaining/commenting, and you are the greatest that ever did it *every* time. But, I far underestimated that lock! =/
I thought it was some half-assed wafer lock, but I see now I was greatly mistaken.
Great work as always tho' LPL!
There are many different types locks, wafer lock coating $450 for a car is almost just a complete joke.
What a shame they used a great lock core with a crappy design!
Ya the desmo is an actual lock...
I bought this lock after my rims were stolen. I thought it was secure and this gives me some reasurance. Maybe not the fact that at Donut they were able to remove it in 65 second, but seeing how long it took to pick definitely helps
Iirc in the video by donut they said that it was partially to do with how these locks sat on the wheels, they weren't fully flush on the wheels they had it on.
@@buringfyra Yes, they did mention that.
Even funny if your rims got stolen when you parked your car outside the shop as you went to buy the lock.
@@kenneth6102 Not really, they stole all of the rims on my brand new 2022 accord within 2 weeks of me getting the car. Insurance picked up the car, as soon as I got it I started parking on a private garage and put those locks on.
They haven't stolen them yet, but they have scrached my car a whole lot. Oh well, that's what you get for trying to have nice things in the Bronx.
Well, the good news is that because the prying attack apparently damages the rims, it’s actually pretty secure. There’s no point in prying off the lock to get the rims if you’re going to destroy the rims in the process. Cause if you damage the rims, all you really get is scrap metal. And of course, your lock doesn’t need to be completely impenetrable. It’s like escaping a hungry bear. You don’t have to outrun the bear. You just have to run faster than the guy next to you.
Shoutout LPL for always being willing to be loads of creators final check for "pick resistance" or even "unlockable"
Your contribution to already great content is far and wide, and I'm all here for it.
I've been waiting for this video from LPL since the moment Donut posted the original. I'm happy to see it. Amazing work as always.

Now we just need LPL and Bosnian Bill to shoot armor piercing rounds at it ^_^
I love this channel, at 33 I still pick my way into my parent's house because I trained on their locks at the ripe age of 12 with homemade picks. Those picks still live in my wallet and even though I'm no expert, I am never frustrated when I accidentally lock myself out of my house without my keys. These are all very useful skills to possess and learn them early because you'll be practicing for your entire life. I have cracked multiple safes as well for fun, anything mechanical like this intrigues me and is always victim to its own tolerances and manipulation. Keep up the great videos brother!

I recently picked up a covert companion set and have been playing around with a master lock I had sitting around. You make it look so easy in your videos but I struggle to open even this simple lock.(which I did manage to rake open once) It makes me appreciate your skill even more.
Been waiting for this. 2 of my favourite channels combining. Surprised it was so difficult to open. Better material and might be worth buying

Very cool. Nice to see you working on a higher security lock now and then.

It is to mention that the prying attack did damage the wheel, if I remember that correctly.
Making it an unacceptable way to get it off if the goal is to steal the wheel.
@@michaelpettersson4919 For a certain grade of thief. Another grade just wants to get the $15 at the aluminum recycling place to get their next fix.
@@Elkadetodd And that type most certainly wouldn't bother with these and would just move to the next car.
Sure. Almost any lock will make the thief pick an easier target if one is available. Point is, some don't care about damage.
@@Elkadetodd Those are the worst. A friend got rather annoyed when someone smashed a side window in his car in order to steal a dirt cheap stereo. In some places it is so bad that people leave their cars unlocked to avoid damage when thieves loot them.
Always a pleasure to watch a true expert at something.

well the core is good but in the Donut video they literally pried it off the wheel in like a minute. so while im honestly not sure about the qualitative state of the product, i am absolutely certain its not worth 450$ lol

I imagine it's like putting expanded metal or other armor over a catalytic converter - it's not impossible to defeat it, it's just more difficult which causes thieves to pick easier targets.
Been waiting for this video. Good work LPL and donut media.
You "both" were very impressive... A key reason I watch these videos and why I decided to give this one a tumble. Cheers!
I have these on my 2021 accord sport. Only thing that keeps people from stealing my sport wheels. I know you can pry them off, but generally if you make things just a little bit more difficult people will skip you.
OK, wait, why would you spend this much money to put anti-wheel theft on an accord of all cars? Plus, with how easy they pry off you almost certainly would get better protection with the conventional keyed lug nuts that are available for 1/50th of the cost.

Yes! I've been waiting for this video since watching the Donut one. Can't say i expected much from this lock considering how long it took them to just pry it off the wheel but when you mentioned that this lock type was used in slot machines and museums i realized where the price was coming from. With all this publicity they might actually make improvements in the future. Thanks for covering this one.
My two favorite channels on the platform!!
5 minutes is a good length for pick resistance with this lock.
but if using brute force only takes 65 seconds it's like putting the best lock on a door that you can just walk around..
To be fair, he started picking around 1:50, and opened it around 4:30, so a little less than 3 minutes (although he admits in the wild it may have taken him a few more minutes because he would have tried to turn it clockwise rather than counter clockwise). Still decent tho
@@desperado568 He started @ 1:47 ended @ 4:27 But yeah, less than three minutes

LPL: "It's giving me a little trouble..."
Everyone: "*BUY TWENTY OF THOSE LOCKS RIGHT NOW*"
Problem, those cores are probably $200 a piece. That's why the final product is so expensive. Chump change for a slot machine, but not to you and I.
You'd have to do that 5 times in the wild: Once clockwise to find out you have it wrong, then once for each wheel. If it took him a few minutes you know even a skilled lockpicker is dedicating an hour to picking all of these and to actually remove the wheels. Furthermore Prying it off would damage them. In short they essentially make the theft of your wheels something to not be concerned about.
Chances are all 4 would be keyed alike, so with each it would take less time. The positioning of the sliders is something you could memorize and apply as you go. Still a damn good lock, but do you have to spend $450 for each wheel? That's $1800!
@@KF1 Nah they'd all need different keys, different biting, 100% because you'd be buying them individually it would be silly if 1 key opened all locks by that brand.

I just wanted to say that your videos are super interesting.
I got super into lock picking as a teenager but sadly never got mich use out of it. Until my most recent move when the keys to the lock on the truck i used dissappeared. Luckily my friend had a pair of lock picks he was willing to let me borrow. With my spouse and friend both seriously doubting me, i got to work.
I watched your video the night before in the same lock and felt like it was doable. It was a cheapo masterlock circular one and as my spouse prepared to grab something to break it with ot popped free. Took me about 5 minutes before i got my technique to come back but ill say i never felt prouder. Bonus my friend gave me the pick set as a birthday gift and Ivw gotten back into it ans am practicing.
Thanks for the help LPL.
I love the elaborate intros and then see the length of the video.
