@@michaelkulman7095 The problem is that padlocks, by their very design, are subject to brute-force attacks. Just twist it with a wrench and either the lock or whatever is holding it will break, whichever is weaker. But that core on some other lock that isn't a padlock could be great.
@@DjVortex-w I guess it depends on the situation. It's probably an ok lock for the gym or school since not many people are gonna try to forcefully twist the lock in such a public place. At least without anyone else noticing.
@@DjVortex-wAnd brute force will always win, but it becomes increasingly less subtle the more of it you have to apply. The tools needed become larger and harder to conceal, the process becomes louder and slower, and it is obvious what you're doing.

Lost track of you over the last year. I have made your most secure padlock from, over a year back, popular here in Australia, where they are made. We all thankyou.
I have that lock. I’m happy with its level of security for the price, it’s hard to damage and if it takes more than a second to open by the LPL then I think it must be quite good. 😁
2:02 Specialized skills indeed.... That I CERTAINLY don't have.... & NEVER will 🤷♂ and 98.8% of other viewers also DON'T (and won't) 🤔 But YOU sir do, and are magnificent at your craft 👋👍
You need to bring Bosnian Bill back for an anniversary event! Have an excellent 4th of July. Thanks for all the content. Master would thank you too if they would just watch your videos and fix their mistakes!
@@rubikfan1 Glad you checked it out, was awesome picking to get the open. 5 hours of figuring out how to pick and tension the lock and ten minutes for the first open. Another unpickable lock just changed it's status to Pickable by the Talented. Thanks for your comment
"Picking skill doesn't mean much if you don't have the tools you need" *Proceeds to use his picking skill to improvise with a tool meant for different locks*
The tools you need are the ones that can do the job. Yes, the tool specially-designed for a specific task might be easier to use, but it isn't the only way(otherwise the only useful tool would be "the key") And many of these tools can be fabricated "in the field" from windshield wipers and coke cans.
I would really like to see once or twice a year your recommendations for the best locks, padlock, door lock, bike lock, etc. Keep up the good work, Thanks!
I have an $83 bike lock because of you. What I really paid for, besides the attempt at security, was to know that if it did get stolen, it wasn't because I was being cheap. I used what the best use.
If you add anything else to it you're going to need a companion to carry you're Covert Companion!😂 Not something you want to have a need for, but boy howdy is it a great feeling when you get to use it!
Interessante canale americano, anche in Italia qualche tempo fa avevamo un appassionato di Lockpicking che si chiamava Domenico di Nema Problema Lockpick ma purtroppo l’ignoranza di molti lo ha fatto chiudere.
Please add videos about "single dial, multi-wheels, rotary-combination locks/safes". This is one type of lock that you haven't challenged yet (from my imperfect memory recollection), and I assume they are pretty much the best if they are, in fact, LPL-proof. Skip the Master Lock school padlock, because "Master Lock", and go for at least Dudley's padlock or safes even. Thank you!
Always amazed by LPL abilities... Yeap, this lock is sold on the mexican market, and currently retails for $ $251 pesos or $13.57 us dls, (contingent upon exchange rate)... It is "Maximum Security" and intended for iron curtains, business, heavy use, steel containers, etc
It requires skills to pick, and LPL almost took 28sec to pick it. That more than enough to be acceptable level of pick resistance. And I bet masterlock would never be this good.
There are knock-offs of the foldout picks, Temu even sell the "case" for pennies. But what I see is the single pick hooks that rotate out are difficult to use as there is no leverage and fingers are hard up against the lock body. I have seen experienced lock pickers use the set with ease whereas for beginners it is an added degree of difficulty. The other downside is use of the fold out tools can twist and bend the tool. Then when folding back into the "case" picks no longer align for smooth interleaving without adjustment. The picks used in this video are designed to overcome the short picks with no real leverage. Is that an acknowledgement of the design of the foldouts to be of value they need experienced pickers?
LPLish: "It's not that tough a lock to pick through, but this one at lest did require some specialized skills" English: "It's one of the toughest locks to pick open even produced"
1:22 "Let's see how this goes" - Yeah sure, seeing as you're already past half of the video length and then there's still a summary and an outro to do ;)
Roughly 30 seconds, right on par. Given it uses dimples instead of pins, it probably should have taken a bit longer, but that says it all for that lock!
I'd be interested in some destructive tests. But tests of a certain nature. There's a difference when it comes to brute force between two crow bars that fit in a backpack and ones as long as your legs and I would say the same about bolt cutters, withstanding one that fits in a back pack isn't nothing. Withstanding the two (or maybe more) wrench trick isn't nothing. Withstanding the admittedly more noisy drift hammer, small sledge hammer that will fit in a backpack, isn't nothing, with or without a large cold chisel. Now with the exception of the hammer all of these are relatively quiet. A lot quieter than a drill, saw or a grinder. Sometimes with chain, 5/16" or 3/8" square security chain say from Pewag or ABUS or others it's just easier to join the chain with a padlock although yes other lock types exist. Some of them cost more than what's being discussed though. If the chain can't easily be cut with small or even large bolt cutters then I'd like a lock that can do the same, withstand bolt cutters, especially small ones and not pop open with 1-6 blows of a hand sledge, two normal crowbars or multiple wrenches using the so called two wrench method or other simple means. I sort of accept that grinders, drills with special bits and saws with special blades can defeat, if not the lock, then the chain. It's always about the weakest link. This lock isn't as easy to pick as many are and isn't very expensive, so, I am interested in it if it resists brute force attacks pretty well. It's big and intimidating looking but so is the U.S. General lock from Harbor Freight that this lawyer, in the video, popped open with multiple wrenches using the so called "two wrench method". If the lock in the video can be opened easily like that then I'm not very interested. That's my point of view. I have my reasons to ask and be curious about it. Sure someone could twist with two 36" long pipe wrenches and other approaches that sure I'd like to see but I'm less worried about some attacks than others. And this isn't all about hasps and breaking hasps either. People put big chains and locks on trailers and generators and all sorts of things...and more than one thing to the point where you start thinking about the cost of locks...and considering Chinese locks sold in Mexico that you've never heard of before this video...
So, what I've been seeing, over time, is most mass produced locks, are easy to pick. And, as a country, we are quite lucky lock picking isn't a national pastime. What would recommend, to securely lock a home, storage unit, shed, etc etc?

Ahahahahahahahahaha.... sweet!
"It seems pretty unlikely we're going to rake it open."
Already better than a Master Lock.
I was gonna say, that's a huge plus, you actually have to PICK it...
If you have to pick it then you need to know a bit more about the lock, you can't really pick at random unless it's a super simple design.
you can probably whack it open.
A really low bar.
if it doestn open with a 2º change in temperature is already better than master lock
He's back! Check out your mail, LPL. You've got a supposedly "unpickable" lock from a youtuber. Can't wait to watch the video.
It’s already been picked by Georgia jim
@@Xvinty It took him 13 minutes to pick. I would say thats the baddest lock of all time!!!!!!!!

It's been ages since last upload, nice to see a new video again
It's been like a month ...
LPL’s back! So good to hear your voice again and watch you defeat another lock. 🙏
Any time a new LPL video drops I am celebrating. Thank you LPL!
cheeto
I love that you are essentially your own sponsor, and that any ads I see are for exactly what I want to buy when I watch; your tools.
seeing the key helps a lot. I imagine in real life fingind a strange lock like this with no key to evaluate the pins
The fact you actually had to pick the lock is pretty high praise!
Just spent $115 USD at your shop. Been wanting more tools for a while now, sale prices just made it irresistible.
He remembered his password!
LOL 🤣
Neah. He probably lock picked his account 😂
When LPL makes a two and and half minute video you know it’s good. It took me longer to type out this comment.

Great demonstration thanks.
Missed ya bro. Great to see your here
For such a quick pick, this seems like a good lock because it's only easy to pick if you know what you're doing.

Oh wow, I might get one of these, as I live in Mexico, and they aren't that expensive at all.
Finally LPL's video that is not too quiet.
I never thought of using a standard hook if dimple flags are not available. Thanks
Good too see Mr. LPL back!
the return of the lock king
There hasn't been a new video for a long time. LPL probably also works a second job because he picks locks quickly.
Good to see a video, it's been a while.
Always enjoy your videos.
Yay, glad to see a new upload here!
Nice to see you back.
"Required specialized skills" that's high praise.
A sub 3 min video you know it's going to end badly for the lock
One pin, two pin, bound pin, dropped pin 😂

Just above the bottom of the barrel, really moving up in the world
Thank you for all these tip and advise. Happy 4th of July. From Aussie.
Babe, wake up. LPL dropped a new video.
I found it equally simple to open up a standard Chinese round-body I picked up a few years ago at a karaoke bar
When you wake up in the middle of the night to sounds at your back door "4 is binding, nice click on 5...."
“One, two, three, four (is binding)”…
I declare a picking war! (Declaration for rhyming purposes only and not legally… well, binding)
Happy Flag Day for 4th July! We have our own plans for tomorrow here in the UK 🙂
It requires skills to pick, and LPL almost took 28sec to pick it. That more than enough to be acceptable level of pick resistance.
And I bet masterlock would never be this good.
Took him just under 30 seconds to pick. Crazy.
He's back!
What? a pick? best chinese lock EVER
The dimple core isn't actually to make it more functional thats just a happy coincidence...
It was actually chosen to make the lock cuter.
There are knock-offs of the foldout picks, Temu even sell the "case" for pennies. But what I see is the single pick hooks that rotate out are difficult to use as there is no leverage and fingers are hard up against the lock body. I have seen experienced lock pickers use the set with ease whereas for beginners it is an added degree of difficulty. The other downside is use of the fold out tools can twist and bend the tool.

Is that an acknowledgement of the design of the foldouts to be of value they need experienced pickers?
So it's just a slightly better than OK lock. That puts it head and shoulders over Master Lock.
Great work as always man
Excellent Content👍🏻🇺🇲
Nice use of the short hook.
Thanks LPL
Dimple locks are considered vulnerable to foil bumping(nearly a bypass) and are no longer popular in China. Pin and disc tubulars are cheaper anyway.
