I'm starting to think that calling your product "smart" is in an insult to the potential buyer's intelligence and judgment in most cases. Just like supermarkets love to sell bottom-of-the-barrel tools and call them *"professional* [type of tool]" even though these tools wouldn't withstand a professional workload for more than a few seconds.
LPL videos are worthless as far as the whole I’ll just “have it play in the background” is concerned; unless, of course, you’re a proponent of the “🤨Wait! …what did he do?” Kinda thing.🤷🏻♂️😆
In this particular case, you'd be better off placing four $10 locks on instead of this one lock. It would take longer (only by seconds I realize) and save you $150. Also, 4 locks might just detour a thief to go to another location/item.
Good locks are expensive, and what you're locking up will surely affect how much you're willing to pay for a lock. The ABUS Granit 37/80 is an example, better than most but only about $125. There's also the Squire SS100CS, almost $400, but also better than average. LPL has reviewed both of these. Nothing is perfect, but both of these would likely keep the local crack head or non-professional thief out of your stuff.
There are definitely ones out there that are worth it. Mul-T-Lock and Abus are two brands that come readily to mind. Bosnian Bill had some really good videos on actual high security locks.

@@colemanmoore9871 Make the tolerances so small you cant fit a pad lock shim. If you still manage to fit a shim its so thin it will brake when you use it.
Damn it, waferlock, being vulnerable to shimming means we don't now know (from this video) if the polyurethane hammer or magnet would also provide an attack on your lock!
@@markkNL You mean open it with just a screwdriver like many 70's and 80's vehicles. Even 90's hondas if you have a pair of needle nose pliers and a philips screwdriver.

No, Amazon just shuts down the reviews to only "verified purchases" when products are called out en masse. Which means you'd have to first buy the lock, then review it and return it. Most people won't go through the hassle for every POS lock shown here.
The basic mechanical security failure was so obvious LPL didn't have to even consider magnets, EMP, signal copying or other "exotic" methods. A LPL video less than three minutes means a very poor quality lock, more than five a quite good and ten legendary.
@@brianfhunter Yep, which makes this product even more embarrasing. Like LPL said, it's part of the fundamentals. It's also embarrassing how they're named Wafer Lock, which is an obsolete type of lock due to being very easy to bypass.
Everyone should go search youtube for Randy's lecture. It's long but very much worth the time. I watched it years ago and liked it so much I bought his book.
I remember watching that back in high school, my uncle had sent it to me. I'd probably understand and appreciate it a lot more now but at the time the premise really stuck with me.
Simple reason really, they use the "smart" and electronic parts to hide its main flaw. Keep in mind, some cheap electronic components are waay cheaper and easier to manufacture than you think, and often cheaper than going for decent but otherwise purely mechanical components. The second part is most people don't even know how locks work and how are the better ones compare to some cheap junk, this is another one they capitalize on. Even in non-smart locks you can see big bold "TOP SECURITY", "MAXIMUM SECURITY", etc being put on almost every single one of those cheap locks, especially bootlegs of reputable brand locks.
Another product to avoid, thanks to LPL BTW just last week I manged to open an interior bathroom door whose mortice catch had broken meaning the handles no longer moved the catch, the door was a snug fit so I drilled a very small hole through the architrave and inserted a tiny screwdriver through the hole and moved the latch, it will only take small amount of filler and a dab of paint to cover the hole and I've replaced the mortice latch cheaply. Brute force would have damaged the door and door frame so thank you LPL you inspired me and saved me the expense of a new door 😊
Amazing story. It is perfect example of something I like to say "Learn how things work and look behind the curtain. You never know when you may need it."
"Amazon has noticed unusual reviewing activity on this product. Due to this activity, we have limited this product to verified purchase reviews." In other words, too many people noting that the Lockpicking Lawyer opened it with two shims in 14 seconds.... Way to go, Amazon.
Seeing the thumbnail: Don't tell me it's shimmable. Seeing the cuts in the shackle and the way the shackle snaps back in: Oh god, it's shimmable. Watching as LPL takes out the shims: Yep. Saw it comming.
The second he opened the lock normally I said "Shim that thing"....girlfriend asked me why I said that...then out comes the shims. LP L is teaching us to spot the vulnerabilities, thank you sir.
My guess is that the marketing team put as much thought into the name as they did in a design review. That or they had a vanilla wafer as a snack, an even more common use of the word.
I just realized that I've learned so much from LPL that I was able to call what the attack was before he even got to it! This makes me happy that I learned so much from LPL!

Smart locks always seem the easiest to open for some reason
Probably because a lot of the people who make them make them to be cool and not because they know how to make locks
As the name suggests they locked the smart part
The smart part is how easily they drain peoples wallets for something flashy instead of something functional.
most of them by necessity have 2 ways to open, dues to out of power issues, this leads to more things to mess up.

Return CZcams Dislikes isn't completely accurate; it relies on estimates using user-submitted data, since the site itself no longer reports the real number to viewers. Newly uploaded videos especially are likely to show 0 dislikes, before a workable estimate comes in.
CZcams no longer displays the counter for dislikes so you cannot know if there are none.
@@MikkoRantalainen You mean you don't use a plugin to restore the feature? Have you been living in a cave?
@@imveryangryitsnotbutter I don't consider the dislike count important enough to run browser extensions for that. I incorrectly assumed that you interpreted the missing dislike counter as zero.
100 years? What a nice retro feature in a futuristic lock .D
Somewhere in the world there is a founder of a tiny smart lock startup company sitting in a dark room weeping like a child after watching this video.
This lock is useless. It's way easy to shim. You could probably open it with a slice of aluminum can.
Another fluke, he only did it once.
This is our new high-security bank vault. The door has an electronic lock. The hinges are made of balsa wood.
I'll never stop enjoying these videos. My 6 year old son loves it too. So it's fun for the whole family!
After your videos i'm 100% convinced that the vast majority of lock producers are actually just a front for robbers looking to seed the market with easily bypassable locks.
Always nice to hear from the lawyer
There are no bad products
Only bad pricing
This is one of them
Wow, I feel bad for the people who bought this, everyone should watch your channel, especially the lock manufacturers and take your advice!
I love that he said 5-10 second attack and I knew exactly what he was going to do
Wow. And that is such an EXPENSIVE padlock; what a shame that its security is so terrible.
I opened the video and knew immediately it was gonna get shimmed
As per usual when LockPicking Lawyer shows up, security in locks just [ALT]+[F4]s out. Lovely.
This is true entertainment. This a a lock that USED to sell for $189 that now sells for $10.
❤ your videos!
all i can say about the ease at which this lock wuz picked is WOW.
Reminds me of computer security lesson. It doesn't matter how strongly you encrypt if you store the passwords in a (unencrypted) text file.
I can't imagine the use-case for this lock as intended.
Someone should make a lock to protect that lock, I mean at that cost, you don’t want to get it stolen!
Thank you LPL for providing me with a good laugh about this lock 🔐
After watching many of your videos , my first guess was the old shim down the shank manoever! Thanks for the entertainment! It's also amusing they replaced the word "hardened" with "stainless".
Just when you thought lock companies might be getting half a clue, then this lock appears on the market. Thanks for this video, cheers mate
The large knob sticking out also makes it look like it's very susceptible to the highly advanced "smack it with a hammer" technique
Hear I was waiting for the large magnet bypass.
Nobody in business today understands the value of fundamentals. Top to bottom, inside and out, it is all show all the time. Not just the consumer products but ever aspect of management.
Brilliant. Loved it
Thank you for quoting "Last Lecture" more people need to read it.
Why am I addicted to this channel, I don't even own anything worth stealing😂😂
Can't wait for tomorrow! Thx in advance, LPL!
I would love to see you design the world's best lock. I know you can do it!
