@@SAXONWARLORD1000AD 😂What is perhaps more amusing is that the lock making outfit spend a few bob, and months, attempting to design an unpickable, unbolt cropperable lock ... get it to market, claiming it's the "best ever" ... only for LPL to pick it in just a few minutes ... and show how he does it to over a million folks ... some whom probably "benefit" in the not too distant future ... last seen on a cruise somewhere exotic ... raising a glass to the LPL.
It makes a sound that reminded me of the clip in an M1 Garand popping out after the last round. Very satisfying to watch. (Both the picking tactic and the M1 clip release) For a military based picking video and all I thought that was just too perfect.
As I watch these videos I find myself asking. Who are you? Are you actually a lawyer? How do you have this god-like skill to pick a Munitions lock in minutes? Are you secretly a crime Lord? So many questions. But for some reason I just keep watching you pick locks.
I’d hire him as my lawyer. In principle, both lock picking and law is about finding loopholes , exceptions, and vulnerabilities. He’s demonstrated exceptional talent in this space.
Yeah, the fact that he can hold it in his hand and rotate it around repeatedly; compared to it being fixed in place on a door or something really helps. Imagine trying to do this in the rain without being able to hold it that way!
When I was in Germany in the early 70's we had these locks securing our arms room. We had an alert early one morning and couldn't find the armorer. One of my PFC's said he could open the arms room. I told him was crazy. He took out the key for his Volkswagen put it in the key way and wiggled it a little bit and the the lock opened. Lost all confidence in the Army's security practices.
Probably in these installations there's no way you'll have 30 minutes alone with a lock. They don't really have to be unpickable, just take enough time for a patrol or a guy going to the bathroom to come around.

Sorry about your friend. The act of switching the side you're working on while maintaining tension and multiple tension tools "in the wild" seems like it would be extraordinarily difficult, so I suspect these locks would be much more difficult to pick while serving their intended purpose. Great video as always!
I was thinking the same thing. If it's not possible to turn the lock much or at all, he might be forced to switch hands. And although he's practically a magician, I'm not sure if his lock picking ability is ambidextrous. (Cue an ambidextrous picking video in 3, 2, 1...)

This lock is similar to the ones I opened on scores of occasions that secured our pyro lockers and magazines when I was a Gunner's Mate (Guns) in the navy, except our locks were a bit longer and the lock body was a solid piece of steel.

Dang... I had two of these in my hand the other day, with the Ingersoll 10 lever core with keys. I really wanted to try and pick one. But the price was a little too high. - They were in pristine condition, not even a scratch or spot of rust or anything on them. Thank you for covering one of these.
I was an AMMO troop in the USAF from 2005-2009 and I instantly recognized that lock when I saw the thumbnail.

I always wondered how easy they would be to pick. Thanks for the video!
CC MOGS I have to stop watching LPL now, my Ingersoll rim cylinder took me about a year to defeat. I have done a master keyed version relatively quickly but nowhere near as fast as this.

Thank you Sir, I've been using this method (twin tension tools) to *attempt to open the Ingersoll 10 lever I have to no avail unfortunately. Great to finally see a legit pick and gut, well done!
very interesting-watching this for the third time now. This was used on arms rooms in the army in the mid 80s specifically, most likely earlier and later. I got slotted and attended a special course after being cross trained as an armorer (what a benefit!!!! LoL) and that course was locks and opening them(or however they termed it). We actually discussed the "arms room" locks currently in use in pretty good detail and their theoretical vulnerabilities. Was a cool "extra" course as a young soldier.
What I enjoyed the most about this video is how well it illustrates your genuineness. You respect this lock, and you make that obvious. You make no effort to hide your disdain for locks that suffer from terrible design flaws or a lack of sufficient security measures, but you also openly praise locks that meet your standards. You don't make it about how easily YOU can pick a lock, you focus entirely on the lock and discuss it in practical terms. You create these videos and perform these tasks for us with minimal ego, and that's what makes them such a joy to watch.
Great videos man! When I was in the US Navy (Surface not Sub) many years ago we had these locks on the torpedo and missile magazine doors. They were there to keep bored sailors and contractors and such honest. The weak link was the doors themselves. I won't elaborate on the doors, but in addition to the lock there were also armed security patrols and alarms. Because there may or may not have been nuclear weapons in the missile magazine, the lock key was kept inside a small safe with a combo lock which was in turn kept inside a bigger safe with a combo lock. Known as the inner and outer safes, no one person had both combos. You had inner combo holders and outer combo holders and it took one of each to get the key to the lock, after alarms were turned off (2 people) and sentries were posted. It is called the 2 man rule. No person is ever allowed to be alone with nuclear weapons, even if they were just going in to do something as routine as magazine temperature checks.
That's how it looks on the New Jersey. Don't think they ever had a nuke, but they had the control system to operate them. Nested safe, two keys just like you said. One of the more recent videos on that channel.
This guys voice reminds me of how soothing the king of random was before he passed, so glad i found another youtuber who i dont find annoying and with interesting content. Love this guy! weird question though since he says hes a lawyer, does he use his knowledge to help convict/ or get off people.
Years ago, I had a similar lock (externally, it looked the same) that had many flat plates (don't remember but I think it was something like 78 plates) stacked in the core and it used a double-sided key. Motorcycle thieves on Okinawa used a screwdriver with a lever to shear the pins on regular locks. They tried unsuccessfully to open the lock I used. Fortunately, I was still able to open the lock with the key. I disassembled it and found that they had damaged some of the plates. The lock continued to provide security until I left Okinawa.
I would love to see a video of you picking a lock with the mechanism removed from the body, it will give more of an idea as to what you are doing inside the lock
I'm impressed that you took the time to mention Lt. Malcolm and his heroism. I enjoy your channel and hope you continue to make these fascinating videos.
Can you please explain to me why you commemorate only those people who fought on the right side? All those American soldiers are killing for is money, how about this "childrensoldier" from the article? How does refering to him as soldier make his deaths any less terrible? He for sure had no other choice than to fight, can't imagine a child choosing to himself. So why are you all commemorating of this "American Hero" and not speaking of those who at the very least fight for what regards them (whatever that may be and their motivation behind that)? Those Death are terrible and unneeded and I don't See any reason for an American life to be worth more than any other.
@g quin the original comment and pretty much all those overly patriotic Americans. I Just don't even See any reason for that patriotism.. I mean what have you done to be American or German or Japanese or whatever, pretty much nothing except being born there. So why would you define yourself by your nationality, haven't you accomplished anything other than being lucky to be Born in a certain country?
I worked Munitions in the USAF. The modern munitions locks of this style were tricky the open even with the key, and required periodic lubrication with Molybdenum Disulfide.
"These locks are very hard to fine. Practically antiques. TREASURES even! You are a lucky man to have gotten such a good deal on it!" "Yeah, any more pricey and it would REALLY suck to pick and gut it!" "...Is it too late to cancel the shipping?"
I know these video is older but I have to say thank you and sorry for your loss. Looks like he was really helping and making sure his men were safe. I have two older nephews one with five deployments and one with four I cannot imagine if something was ever to happen to them. They are true Patriots who believe in defending America and others in time of need.
Respect to your friend ! That's an awful situation! That was a very impressive pick on that ingasol lock ! I did save a picking video on the same lock but it's been deleted . Well done!!!
That took you the longest to pick of any lock I've seen you pick! It also seems like it would be impossible to pick, if it was actually attached to something. Well done, Miracle!
I just happen to be watching this on November 10th, exactly 15 years after your friend died. Sounds like a great person. Sorry for your loss, and thank you to our troops.
An amazing lock and video. Thanks for posting. I checked out the other post for your friend. I'm very sorry for your loss. Thank you for your service. I never was in the service, in fact I hate war because my dad came back from WWII very messed up. They didn't have PTSD back then. He drank a lot. We never got along because of it but I respected him. It wasn't until 6 years ago when I took him to the WWII memorial during an honour flight that I finally found out what he went through. He never spoke of it before but he fought on Guadalcanal & Iwo Jima. He was chosen during our trip to help place the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I could never be more proud of my dad day. He's still kicking today at 97. Semper fi
My respects to Lt. Daniel Malcolm. How are the laminated segments of the lock body held together, especially those in the shackle guard portion at the top of the lock?
I think it is actually cast or machined. Otherwise it would fall apart as there are no rivets holding it together. At least there was none that I could see and believe me I I looked hard.
I am not a trained locksmith, but I am a trained (now retired ) P.I. ...I enjoy opening pad locks when the key has been lost, I do it while watching TV as it is all about feel rather than sight, it really is relaxing.
Hopefully this will get to the one that I call "Sir Henry". Your content is among the best on the entire platform and I cannot thank you enough. I revisited this 2 year old video and actually clicked on the link and read the BBC article. War is a terrible thing and on that day it took another hero. I'm glad that we have these great men willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for justice and peace. May all of our fallen brothers be kept in our hearts, and our family still fighting in our prayers. On a much lighter note, I can't say enough about the content from LPL BosnianBill and LockNoob, so I won't say much at all and let the content speak for itself, but what I will say is that over the course of my locksport training these guys have taken my view of the world and flipped it on it's head. My deepest thanks go out to you and your peers sir!
Finally something you didn't pick in under 15 seconds! Interesting double sided core. Sorry to hear about your buddy. I'll have a read of the BBC article.
I'm impressed with any lock that this man takes longer than 1 minute to pick. A lock that takes 5 or 30 id be more than confident to use on anything i own. Great work Lockpickinglawyer! Always enjoyable to watch your skills in action.
Fully agree with with you on the tolerances. I've managed to open (one of) mine and made a key for it (had none) but for the moment I can't manage to pick it on camera. Was a pain to completely disassemble but worth it :) At least got the assembly on camera :D Happy memorial day.
Ron Reuwer pretty sure im gonna get one of those for my bike. Ingersoll makes one just like this. Actually i think theirs is a bit bigger but has a core very similar to this one. Its a very expensive lock though. And heavy.
Thanks for your service sir! Not to make light of the situation, but what a coincidence. Lieutenant Dan!! I told you if you ever became a shrimp boat captain that I'd be your first mate, but don't think that I'm gonna be calling you sir!! Lol

"I'm not sure why some of these locks are fairly easy and others are quite hard"
Those might be the quality control issues you mentioned.
The QC issues stemmed from the Finnish core, not the English core. Bit who knows
Some are master keyed which makes any lock easier
Some might be much more worn out than others. That can make a big difference to the pick-resistance of a lock.
That's exactly what I was thinking when the gates didn't line up very well at the end
Being a veteran Im surprised to know we ever had anything of this quality at any point

Used too , still gods country:]
I remember when I was in JROTC in the 1980s our armory was secured by this lock.
Didn't know that you were a Citadel graduate! Shoutout to SC
Thank you Sir, I've been using this method (twin tension tools) to *attempt to open the Ingersoll 10 lever I have to no avail unfortunately. Great to finally see a legit pick and gut, well done!

Thank you for your service Lieutenant. Semper Fi brother.
very interesting-watching this for the third time now. This was used on arms rooms in the army in the mid 80s specifically, most likely earlier and later. I got slotted and attended a special course after being cross trained as an armorer (what a benefit!!!! LoL) and that course was locks and opening them(or however they termed it). We actually discussed the "arms room" locks currently in use in pretty good detail and their theoretical vulnerabilities. Was a cool "extra" course as a young soldier.
What I enjoyed the most about this video is how well it illustrates your genuineness. You respect this lock, and you make that obvious. You make no effort to hide your disdain for locks that suffer from terrible design flaws or a lack of sufficient security measures, but you also openly praise locks that meet your standards. You don't make it about how easily YOU can pick a lock, you focus entirely on the lock and discuss it in practical terms. You create these videos and perform these tasks for us with minimal ego, and that's what makes them such a joy to watch.
This has to be one of the harder locks I’ve seen him pick.
Imagine LPL being on a MI team and explaining how the lock he's picking works to his teammates when the bad guys are just about to arrive
Thank you so much. My father was a marine, and this was a very cool way of honoring this day.
Great videos man!
When I was in the US Navy (Surface not Sub) many years ago we had these locks on the torpedo and missile magazine doors. They were there to keep bored sailors and contractors and such honest. The weak link was the doors themselves. I won't elaborate on the doors, but in addition to the lock there were also armed security patrols and alarms. Because there may or may not have been nuclear weapons in the missile magazine, the lock key was kept inside a small safe with a combo lock which was in turn kept inside a bigger safe with a combo lock. Known as the inner and outer safes, no one person had both combos. You had inner combo holders and outer combo holders and it took one of each to get the key to the lock, after alarms were turned off (2 people) and sentries were posted. It is called the 2 man rule. No person is ever allowed to be alone with nuclear weapons, even if they were just going in to do something as routine as magazine temperature checks.
That's how it looks on the New Jersey. Don't think they ever had a nuke, but they had the control system to operate them. Nested safe, two keys just like you said.
One of the more recent videos on that channel.
This guys voice reminds me of how soothing the king of random was before he passed, so glad i found another youtuber who i dont find annoying and with interesting content.
Love this guy! weird question though since he says hes a lawyer, does he use his knowledge to help convict/ or get off people.
Should try to pick it while its actually locked to something so you cant keep spinning it, would be fun to see you struggle for once
Yeah people overlook this, it would be substantially more difficult to pick while affixed to something while in the field
When he says, "Nothing on one, nothing on two . . .," it makes me think of a dental visit.
Allah Knows Best exactly what I thought.
A huge hole on three, I think I'll have the biggest slowest drill for this one... Or do I choose the Ramset?
Years ago, I had a similar lock (externally, it looked the same) that had many flat plates (don't remember but I think it was something like 78 plates) stacked in the core and it used a double-sided key. Motorcycle thieves on Okinawa used a screwdriver with a lever to shear the pins on regular locks. They tried unsuccessfully to open the lock I used. Fortunately, I was still able to open the lock with the key. I disassembled it and found that they had damaged some of the plates. The lock continued to provide security until I left Okinawa.
Thank you Lt. Malcolm - A TRUE AMERICAN HERO
I only just watched this video right now, but Dan was a true patriot, he’ll be in my prayers.
I would love to see a video of you picking a lock with the mechanism removed from the body, it will give more of an idea as to what you are doing inside the lock
I'm impressed that you took the time to mention Lt. Malcolm and his heroism. I enjoy your channel and hope you continue to make these fascinating videos.
Can you please explain to me why you commemorate only those people who fought on the right side? All those American soldiers are killing for is money, how about this "childrensoldier" from the article? How does refering to him as soldier make his deaths any less terrible? He for sure had no other choice than to fight, can't imagine a child choosing to himself. So why are you all commemorating of this "American Hero" and not speaking of those who at the very least fight for what regards them (whatever that may be and their motivation behind that)?
Those Death are terrible and unneeded and I don't See any reason for an American life to be worth more than any other.
@g quin the original comment and pretty much all those overly patriotic Americans. I Just don't even See any reason for that patriotism.. I mean what have you done to be American or German or Japanese or whatever, pretty much nothing except being born there. So why would you define yourself by your nationality, haven't you accomplished anything other than being lucky to be Born in a certain country?
I worked Munitions in the USAF. The modern munitions locks of this style were tricky the open even with the key, and required periodic lubrication with Molybdenum Disulfide.
Lt Malcolm, rest in peace shipmate. With greatest respect. LCDR, USN(Ret)
that was such an awesome core. I have learned so much from you.
"These locks are very hard to fine. Practically antiques. TREASURES even! You are a lucky man to have gotten such a good deal on it!"
"Yeah, any more pricey and it would REALLY suck to pick and gut it!"
"...Is it too late to cancel the shipping?"
Beautiful message at beginning. It's cool you sent us here from the future just a few days away from memorial day.
Amen for Lt. Daniel Malcolm.
Great video and wow! Godspeed to you sir 🇺🇸
Whenever you count the pins with a pick it reminds me of being at the dentist. Loving your work.
I know these video is older but I have to say thank you and sorry for your loss. Looks like he was really helping and making sure his men were safe. I have two older nephews one with five deployments and one with four I cannot imagine if something was ever to happen to them. They are true Patriots who believe in defending America and others in time of need.
good on you LPL I'm sorry about your friend. Thanks for all the content
Respect to your friend !
That's an awful situation!
That was a very impressive pick on that ingasol lock !
I did save a picking video on the same lock but it's been deleted .
Well done!!!
That took you the longest to pick of any lock I've seen you pick! It also seems like it would be impossible to pick, if it was actually attached to something. Well done, Miracle!
Thanks for posting
Nice piece of lock history. Thanks for sharing.
You went to the Citadel? Wow!!
Sorry for your loss, LPL. Lost a good friend in Baghdad myself.
I just happen to be watching this on November 10th, exactly 15 years after your friend died. Sounds like a great person. Sorry for your loss, and thank you to our troops.
Thanks for sharing your friend's story. Sounds like he also enjoyed teaching and helping people. We need more people like that.
Thank you for sharing is story. Once again, your videos are wonderful
Sorry about your buddy Dan Malcolm.✌ I have one of these locks, can't remember which core I have. Awesome lock and great ping pong pick as usual.😎✌🇦🇺
Thanks for the mention of that LT. He deserves our love and respect. Thank you again for the video.
This fellow veteran salutes your fallen friend. Thanks for posting another outstanding LPL clip.
An amazing lock and video.
Thanks for posting.
I checked out the other post for your friend. I'm very sorry for your loss.
Thank you for your service.
I never was in the service, in fact I hate war because my dad came back from WWII very messed up. They didn't have PTSD back then. He drank a lot. We never got along because of it but I respected him. It wasn't until 6 years ago when I took him to the WWII memorial during an honour flight that I finally found out what he went through. He never spoke of it before but he fought on Guadalcanal & Iwo Jima. He was chosen during our trip to help place the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I could never be more proud of my dad day. He's still kicking today at 97.
Semper fi
Ingersoll is actually my great grandparent’s brand, they originated that in paola, ks- my home town
thank you for your service and RIP to your friend!
You are amazing. Thank you for sharing this :-)
That is such an intriguing device. Thank you for this one. Also respect to our service members.
"We honor military service"
Me: oh my god he's going to lockpick the military now!!!
My respects to Lt. Daniel Malcolm.
How are the laminated segments of the lock body held together, especially those in the shackle guard portion at the top of the lock?
I think it is actually cast or machined. Otherwise it would fall apart as there are no rivets holding it together. At least there was none that I could see and believe me I I looked hard.
I am not a trained locksmith, but I am a trained (now retired ) P.I. ...I enjoy opening pad locks when the key has been lost, I do it while watching TV as it is all
about feel rather than sight, it really is relaxing.
Hopefully this will get to the one that I call "Sir Henry". Your content is among the best on the entire platform and I cannot thank you enough.
I revisited this 2 year old video and actually clicked on the link and read the BBC article. War is a terrible thing and on that day it took another hero. I'm glad that we have these great men willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for justice and peace. May all of our fallen brothers be kept in our hearts, and our family still fighting in our prayers.
On a much lighter note, I can't say enough about the content from LPL BosnianBill and LockNoob, so I won't say much at all and let the content speak for itself, but what I will say is that over the course of my locksport training these guys have taken my view of the world and flipped it on it's head. My deepest thanks go out to you and your peers sir!
Finally something you didn't pick in under 15 seconds! Interesting double sided core.
Sorry to hear about your buddy. I'll have a read of the BBC article.
Rip LT. Malcom. And we appreciate the service of both you and your fallen friend.
I'm impressed with any lock that this man takes longer than 1 minute to pick. A lock that takes 5 or 30 id be more than confident to use on anything i own.
Great work Lockpickinglawyer! Always enjoyable to watch your skills in action.
2 1/2 years later and the link is still active. Thank you, Lt. Malcom.
Fully agree with with you on the tolerances. I've managed to open (one of) mine and made a key for it (had none) but for the moment I can't manage to pick it on camera. Was a pain to completely disassemble but worth it :) At least got the assembly on camera :D
Happy memorial day.
much respect to your friend Lt. Daniel Malcolm rest in peace sir. that is one awesome lock. looks cool, seems to work pretty damn good.
Great presentation. Fantastically interesting core.
Semper Fi, Lt. Malcolm. Going out on the birthday of the Marine Corps is a Devil Dog way to go!
As a car guy, I will now classify this lock as a “flat 10”
great picking as usual glad you switched up from bike locks thank you
Ron Reuwer pretty sure im gonna get one of those for my bike. Ingersoll makes one just like this. Actually i think theirs is a bit bigger but has a core very similar to this one.
Its a very expensive lock though. And heavy.
Thanks for your service sir! Not to make light of the situation, but what a coincidence. Lieutenant Dan!! I told you if you ever became a shrimp boat captain that I'd be your first mate, but don't think that I'm gonna be calling you sir!! Lol
Love your extensive knowledge on locks. Thank you
2:21 That is a nice sound! :O
Rest in peace Daniel Malcolm and all the military people who died for their country
@John Smith Man, countries don't even need propaganda to indoctrinate an Anti-American mentality. They're so stupid they'll believe in complete lies anyways.
Good luck with your UN overseers banning internet freedom.
@@weasle2904 Its a shame that those people are lied to and are uneducated enough to believe it
hi died for iraqi oil
@John Smith Way to honor someone!
I love your channel!!! Always amazing! So good to be able to click a video and it be about the topic said and not somehow cram politics in! Ty brother keep it up!!
I grew up on military bases during this time and my dad was a small arms instructor, and I remember these locks!
Usually 10-15 minutes but can take 30" *checks time" oh. 5 minutes left. I guess he got a new record then
4:46 LPL's so used to talking about what he feels in a lock that he almost says ". . the amount of rust I felt in there" xD
Iraq wasnt about oil, it was about helping israel create zion.
We had one just like this on the arms room of my unit in Italy. Definitely had this style core. Late 1970s.
I read the article thx for sharing about this brave friend of yours
I love these history lessons.
Keep em coming.
Semper Fi
I feel like he picks bike/shed locks and then instead of stealing anything, he just takes the lock and runs away
That is still stealing
@@davidreeding9176 I guess.....
I will take a look at link after this video. Well done for the mention of memorial day, it's nice to see others remembering lost.
That's really cool that you went to The Citadel. My grandmother worked there in the financial aid dept. for over 20 years. I also live right down the street from The Citadel. You'd be blown away by how much Charleston has changed in the past few years.
