I have the American versions of these at my office, always thought the key was crazy looking. I was floored how easy you got it open, you are a master of your craft.
don't be so impressed by his picking. he's probably picked this lock 19247889326749 times before making this video. he knows exactly what to do in order to pick it. it's not an easy lock to pick, don't worry.
I certainly picked it before the video... twice. I generally do that just to make sure I can open the lock before setting up the camera. If you doubt, but See my playlist of picking dozens of MTLs. Some are harder than others... this one was almost as easy as they get.
Two notes on Japan: 1) it's an island nation, so the Ocean is usually not too far away. 2) Apartment doors are usually on the "outside", meaning the staircase and corridor is not internal.
I got behind on watching your videos, LPL, as I took an 8 month break from lock picking. So now I'm going back and watching all the videos I missed. I had forgotten how truly talented you are. Thanks for your fantastic videos; they are greatly appreciated.
I think the Multi Lock deters the raking and low skilled pickers. Generally I have had good performance from them, one on our garage, my significant other lost her key and called 3 different locksmiths, all declined to try and pick the lock!
The problem is one of motivation. Why spend thousands of hours developing and maintaining picking proficiency when you can charge a customer far more to drill and replace a lock? Or am I too cynical?
Great picking. Yes, you make it look so easy. By the way, I don't pick many dimple locks, but when I do, I use your,,, Off the side of tension wrench technique. Thank you
Hello, I just started dimple lock picking, could you make a video about lock picking dimple locks for beginners? What kinda of locks are best for beginners and also go over witch dimple picks are best or not so good.
When I come across an old lock that is dirty, I use a little WD-40 it makes it almost like new. Thx for the vid. I haven't came across these locks yet, but at least I kno it can be picked.
zwz • zdenek If they did that sure. I think they feel secure enough with their aluminum bars held together with sheet metal screws over their Windows though.
Security here is certainly weird. I think that someone could easily break into my place if they wanted to, but the crime rate is so low in the part of Tokyo where I am that some people still leave their houses unlocked. I have a friend who lived in Yokohama for over 20 years and never once locked her door. She never had a problem. Recently, I left the key in my bike lock by mistake after I parked it in public near a train station and left it there for the whole day - and it was fine. One day last year, the road near my house was covered with 10,000 yen bills (about $100 each). There were thousands of dollars. People came out of their houses and we all gathered it up carefully and took it to the police station together. There was never even a moment when it crossed anyone's mind to do anything different. Turns out someone had a bag with a house deposit in it fall out of their bike. The cliche about Japan and honesty is true - at least where I live!
CodeBurger Interesting. So it prevents someone from making duplicate keys unless they are the lock owner, if I understand that correctly. In a way a security feature, but not one the average consumer would be concerned about. Thank you for the answer.
+BangDroid A spring loaded captive "detent" (more like a pin) is present in the core. When the key is inserted, the "detent" pushes the interactive element, which in turn pushes the corresponding pin. The Interactive element is a captive pin inside the key, which ensures that key duplication requires special equipment which is only available to the manufacturer. I am not sure if the interactive element have a variable size.
I'm trying my hand at Mul-T-Lock but never really managed to succeed. I have a Classic, MT5, and Interactive to play with but admittedly I just have standard pick sets so I don't really have any flag picks. Anybody got recommendations for a good flag set(s)?
Can you please also post links in the video description area to the things you use - tensioner, pick, disassembling plate, guide tube, etc. It is very interesting and would be helpful for buying the right stuff.
Do you think a Mul T Lock interactive is adequate security for a home? Do you think an average criminal would be able to bypass the lock? Assuming that kick prevention is in place so the criminal can't just kick in the door. Thanks!
Thanks! It was a decision between an MT5+ or an Interactive+ and the key control on the MT5+ made getting a key in the case of a lockout a pain (safe deposit the key card because without it you get no key) vs. the interactive where the locksmith can keep the key info on file without requiring the card. Not to say that MT5+ isn't more secure (in part because of key control) but I don't believe the added security is necessary for the situation. Also, the locksmith said that interactive+'s use different key ways for each locksmith for residential locks so bump keys would be hard to obtain if not impossible.
allow for a master keying system - multiple (different cut) keys can operate the lock - for example if it's the lock from an office door, the office occupier would have a key to that lock and no other offices - but the building security staff would have a single master key to all the offices - that wafer basically creates a second sheer line so a key can have multiple operating cuts at that position - hope that helps
I have this cheap chinese padlock from ebay that I only picked once. It's utter crap, but still a lot harder than a no.3. Also after I took the plastic 'weather' protection off, part of the lock, the bible, is plastic!
Where do you live that lock picking tools are illegal? Here in the US there are no places that I know of where it is illegal to own lock picking tools.

@@mannyman4103its easy to pick
He is very modest

I am still working on my first interactive and you make it look so easy, thanks for sharing and love your videos
Good luck with it. See my video 319 on tension for dimple locks. It may help. 👍

Peter M wow. You should have called a lawyer... a lockpicking one!😁✌
Indeed I should have!
I was amused and have realized there are virtually no skilled lock pickers in the locksmith business!
The problem is one of motivation. Why spend thousands of hours developing and maintaining picking proficiency when you can charge a customer far more to drill and replace a lock? Or am I too cynical?
LockPickingLawyer cynical maybe but probably just realistic unfortunately.😕
I want to see more from this Urban Hawk dude! Thanks for show & tell picking.😎✌
You make every lock look so easy! Well done
Very cool MTL! Awesome explanation, and as always, expertly picked my friend. 👍😊
Thanks.
Ah, its 4 am again i see. Watching videos that have nothing to do with me

Great picking as usual brother,thanks for sharing it with us
Hello,
I just started dimple lock picking, could you make a video about lock picking dimple locks for beginners? What kinda of locks are best for beginners and also go over witch dimple picks are best or not so good.
Wouldn't those 2 master wafers basically make the pin in pin redundant for those 2 chambers?
I watched a 4 minute AD, to build anticipation.
I am digging the mushroom outers.
Arigatou gozaimashita!
Is this a hobby you learned from a previous client in trade in lieu of payment for your legal representation?
I am wondering what that little brass disk is, that fell out after back of the core was removed. It looks just like a spent primer.
I just wanna see more of that key!
I noticed the bezel moved as you picked. If that lock was mounted to a door, would it have made it harder to pick?
No the bezel was essentially being moved by the outer of the lock, wouldnt have made a difference at all.
Agreed. It doesn’t affect picking.
Did those master wafers pretty much turn the pin-in-pins in slots 3 and 4 into a single dumb pin then?
When I come across an old lock that is dirty, I use a little WD-40 it makes it almost like new. Thx for the vid. I haven't came across these locks yet, but at least I kno it can be picked.
In Japan they pride themselves on having locks that are "un-pickable" then they install all the doors with the hinges on the outside.
zwz • zdenek If they did that sure. I think they feel secure enough with their aluminum bars held together with sheet metal screws over their Windows though.
Security here is certainly weird. I think that someone could easily break into my place if they wanted to, but the crime rate is so low in the part of Tokyo where I am that some people still leave their houses unlocked.

I’m surprised the Japanese have locks at all.
Japan is very civilised, apart from some history.
Since Japan is such a small country, with a small population, i doubt its different in other regions.
The 19 dislikes are from lock manufacturers :P
I am very confused about the importance or rather inclusion of the interactive element if it does nothing to improve resistance to picking attacks.
It's only good for key control, like the passive pins. It's a vendor lock-in disguised as a security feature (only the manufacturer can make keys).
CodeBurger Interesting. So it prevents someone from making duplicate keys unless they are the lock owner, if I understand that correctly. In a way a security feature, but not one the average consumer would be concerned about. Thank you for the answer.
How does it work? Is it magnetic or something?

See bills video on modifying goso dimple picks. 👍
Thanks man, I'll do just that 👍
Can you please also post links in the video description area to the things you use - tensioner, pick, disassembling plate, guide tube, etc. It is very interesting and would be helpful for buying the right stuff.
Neat pick LPL!
What is the purpose of the small brass puck hidden behind the tailpiece?
+zwz • zdenek
But isn't the tailpiece plate itself a stopper?
Zwz is correct. The tailpiece is too deep to stop the key.
Do you think a Mul T Lock interactive is adequate security for a home? Do you think an average criminal would be able to bypass the lock? Assuming that kick prevention is in place so the criminal can't just kick in the door. Thanks!
Adequate? Yes.

That looks like a lock for a slidehammer
I'M not a locksmith . Please explain how passive pins control keys .
Have you tried picking any Miwa Locks?
so different from the usual locks
what do the master wafers do?
allow for a master keying system - multiple (different cut) keys can operate the lock - for example if it's the lock from an office door, the office occupier would have a key to that lock and no other offices - but the building security staff would have a single master key to all the offices - that wafer basically creates a second sheer line so a key can have multiple operating cuts at that position - hope that helps
Houdinii1212 - ...and they make locks easier to pick.
Given this is the internet, I'm shocked no one has screamed "omg japan they always make the best stuff!"
Interesting lock tho...
Even ppl irl are like that. I say something slightly negative about Japan, they don't wanna talk about it anymore.
What are those wafers for?
you made that look far to easy great demo Yay 1st comment ever :)
Is that logo a key, or a bodybuilder, or a caduceus?
yes
I've ben to japan, they don't really worry about locking stuff the people don't steal that much.
Made that look easy would that be a good lock for a house door lock
It’s not bad. It will stop most.
Still better than master lock no.3😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have this cheap chinese padlock from ebay that I only picked once. It's utter crap, but still a lot harder than a no.3. Also after I took the plastic 'weather' protection off, part of the lock, the bible, is plastic!
That was odd,an ad in the video, he never has ads hmm..
I'm sure you have been asked this many times,but...are you also a lawyer besides being a master at picking locks?
Or my question is he a locksmith?
Lawyer, yes. Locksmith, no. 👍
LockPickingLawyer much respect,love your videos!!
Probably the most liked Lawyer ever lol :p

I have PTSD from those things.
