That looked like fun. I always find picking the heavier locks more satisfying, no matter how easy or hard they are. Something about subconsiously equating weight with strength.
Kobrag90 A bit... I experimented with it after I shot this video. I was able to open it with relative ease pretty much any position including flat on the wall with the keyway facing away from me. While positioning certainly can make it harder, it's not enough to significantly increase security in my opinion
An interesting-looking padlock. As you say, with the right core it could be quite a formidable beast. Thanks again for showing things that many of us have never seen before.
I own a 50mm brass padlock from Zone, it also has several spools but isn't hard to pick. I would recommend it to any beginner pickers who want an introduction to spools.
I'd like to see you test these locks while they are attached to something, the way you hold it surely makes it easier to tension and would not be possible if it was up against something.
i love the style of this lock it must feel real nice in hand the weight hey...very nice euro cylinder too. awesome vid you have the best stuff on this chan
@@lockpickinglawyer Reminds me of a behind the scenes for the film Hero (2002). Zhang Ziyi was complaining that to get ready for a minute long fight scene, she needed to learn months before the shooting started and then 5+ hours every day, yet it comes so easy to Jet Li - he just needs 10 minutes before a fight sequence and he is good to go. Jet replied "I have been learning this for 20 years". So, yeah - easy for someone with years under his belt. For the mere mortals, though...
Luv watching all of them, but one of these days, I'd like to see you do a car and a door at -35C in snowing conditions. Reality for Canadian locksmiths, though I'm not one of them. I used to get the beeper for one of them but only got vehicle lockouts. 30 years ago was easier.
Hello. Thank you for sharing this. What a beast of a paddock lol. So, if a "normal" person like me were to buy this, could I buy the core you recommend and replace it myself?
Thank you for time and Houdini-ist ease on display. Where can we find this lock and your suggested cores i did google each and came up with some more videos but not sources.
you make it look so easy, I secure my motorcycle with an Xena alarm/lock. there are several variance.it would be nice if you can pick one of those locks.
LockPickingLawyer, you should make shirts with your quotes. "Three is binding" "click outta four" "spools on six" "counter rotation on 5". People would buy them 👍
you always seem to pick from front to back, but i've found a bunch of locks where that doesn't work (like the Abus 55/40 european version)... the pins seem to get stuck so you cant move the pick under them [even with the lightest of tensions]... is that a common problem or is it just a case of over or under setting the pins? picking from bck to front seems to be the norm but you pick open locks in about half the time everyone else does so there must be some merit to your front to back technique!
Good observation. It has to do with my deliberate style of picking. While picking, I keep a running inventory in my head of each move I make, and the last known position of each pin stack. You can’t do that without ALWAYS knowing EXACTLY where your pick is in the lock. It was from this requirement that my front to back picking style came to be. I touch the tip of my pick against the front of the pin. While keeping the pick in contact with the pin, I slide it around to the bottom of the pin. After picking that pin (or determining that it’s not ready), I slide the pick forward, touch the front of the next pin, and repeat the process. In essence, I am using an easy to find part of the lock (front of the pin) to ensure that I am correctly located at a harder to find location (center of the bottom of a pin)… if that makes sense. You can’t do that picking from back to front. As a bonus, it also allows me to immediately detect oversets because the front of the pin will not be where I expect it to be if the chamber is overset. Further bonus: precision pick placement allows you to navigate tight warding MUCH easier. ---- Pin spacing is largely in my muscle memory, so it’s less important to me now than it was a year ago. But I still occasionally use the method, and the front to back pattern has become habit. When I start having trouble while picking (usually trouble finding holes in the warding), I still fall back on this technique. --- As for your observation that not all locks will pick front to back, it is very rare that I find a lock in which that is true… I can only think of a couple examples in the thousands of locks I have picked (including a couple different 55/40 keyways). Respectfully, if you are running into that problem often, it may be a sign of poor pick selection.
sweet, i'll give it a go - at the very least, it can be another string to my bow! i wonder how you came up with that, seeing as most standard teaching materials teach the opposite :) if it works it works though, and i do so love a rebel :) will try with shallower picks also, i have no probs picking them back to front, but front to back i may have to experiment a little!
I like your videos. Im not a lock picker or even trying to be but i love how easy you make it look. On the lock on a roll up door with limited side access because of being inset 8 inches from exterior wall and hasp mounted close to right side. Where room for your. Fingers and a key is all you get. This is a great option for rental units. But where can my mits locate one? Would you sell yours to me?
Hi Harry, Pretty impressive lock all round, and I know it's been said before, but you really don't see the bad guys picking locks as such. If this was attached, it would be very awkward anyway. By the way, it's all happening in your home city - protests and all - and will be shown live Downunder. Stay safe, and keep picking. Regards, Brian.
Thanks -- it would definitely be awkward picking while mounted, though it would really depend on the mounting specifics. Good mounting can be a really effective anti-pick measure. As for D.C., I'm taking off work tomorrow and staying out of the city. My office is 1.5 blocks from the White House, so we're right in the middle of the mess. They've been setting up fences, grandstands, and barricades all week for it. I had to take the metro (subway) into work today because my underground parking has been sealed and my whole street shut down! I'm going to stay outside the city and do what the rest of the country does all year long -- pray that the nuttiness stays in DC.
Great video, very sturdy looking lock, and very well picked, also good job on the smooth dis-assembley and gutting , just on a side note, have you found your hands getting stronger from all the picking and holding of the heavy locks?, I notice most pickers put their locks in a vice, while you most times hold them in your left hand, I bet you could crush a beer can easy!
Thanks... It's been a long time, but I used to be pretty into rock climbing. That give you VERY strong hands. I'm no where near what I used to be, but my hands are still pretty strong, and that helps. Some of these heavy locks, however, really are hard to hold at an awkward position in front of the camera. I used to pick them in vices, but I like holding them better because it's harder and more realistic... the greater the challenge, the more fun it is for me. :-)
Have you considered doing videos in which you pick locks in a situation you may find them in while in use? Of course you most likely have. I think they would make for some very interesting content.
I’m new to the channel enjoy the videos but I believe that picking this lock wouldn’t be as easy when it’s actually in use would be good to see you try it when it’s being used.
+Casey Urquhart If you had the correct angle and the right tooling to go through hardened steel, then yes, that's probably the best bet for destructive entry.
Thanks. I got it on ebay, but from someone who had only one. That said, there are a bunch of them for sale on ebay right now from what appears to be a retailer. Shipping for you will probably be much better than it was for me. PS - That Titan K lock you sent me a while ago is scheduled to post tomorrow. I found him in a drawer a couple days ago and finally made a video. :-)
Is the lock set into something that's pretty much for display/show or even picking demonstrations? It looked like it had some indentations on the outside of the display body, possibly for ergonomics. The central came directly out of the body as soon as it was unkocked, in what kind of applications would this lock be installed out in the wild?
I re-think that, even with that bitting when the padlock is in its natural habitat (flat against door/wall) it won't be easy to pick. I don't agree in 100% most people just don't learn to pick a lock (which is normal for a fully sane person). But since I've learned how to watching Bill's and yours vids in one day probably anyone could do that, no thievs guild needed. But as said normal people don't do such things.
I would love to see a brute force attack to this lock to see it's resistance our even a core puller to see if the lock is weak enough for the core puller but overall I really enjoyed the tough looking
My friend gave me two locks that he lost the combo for, and I got them open. I was just wondering if there are any bypasses I could use in case something like this happens again. The locks were “Master Lock 630D Set Lock Resettable Combination Padlock”, and “Master Lock 1533TRI Locker Lock Mini Combination Padlock”
It could be improved with a better core, but to be honest, two of these on a well designed steel security door would be pretty formidable anyway. It’d probably be quite hard to pick them when they’re cylinder down against a wall at head and knee height.
LPL LOVE THIS LOCK .I HAVE FIGURED THAT I CAN WATCH 1 HOUR OF YOUR VIDEOS IT THAT WOULD ABOUT 8 EXCELLENT VIDEOS SPP'D AND GUTTED LOL AND WELL EXPLAINED. THANKS FOR GREAT VIDEO .laying down or flat on the wall core still turns the same direction looks to be the same.direction?? thanks. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😎
@@AAAyyyGGG I agree, that isn't a circlip which usually have holes in them to allow the use of circlip pliers in removing them and are, as you say, made of spring steel. The bendy clip here has no memory and will need to be reformed to refit it where a circlip would not.
It definitely would have been slower, but remember that I'm already picking in an awkward position... holding a 3.5lbs lock at an angle, around a tripod, while at the same time performing precise manipulations. This might sound odd, but my wrist was actually sore after shooting this video!. I'm not sure which is harder.
I bet you you could make some shims that would Cheese this lock! witch if they counter milled the body and made the head larger it would stop this attack...
There are definitely mounting options that would make picking very, very hard. Imagine a hasp that had a large protruding wall about 3" in front of the keyhole... that would be tricky!
Why are you interested in/ why do you care about serrated pins and spools? They dont seem to slow you down one bit, so what's the point if they cant prevent a lockpicker from picking it?
Are there any videos where of LPL discussing these features in detail? I haven't been through all the many hundreds of videos yet. I've seen these features pointed out dozens of times, but I haven't seen them or their purposes really explained.
Serrated pins give you small false sets while spools give you big ones, false sets means that you need to loosen your tension which can lead to dropping pins.
That WAS him being slowed down. If those were standards he'd have torn through them in ten seconds. These things don't seem to slow him down, but they'll keep an average joe out of, say, your gate or locker or bikechain, especially out in the field where you can't put something on a vise and sit down under a good lamp with all the time in the world
ASSA pins are OK, but what makes them nasty is the combination of them with the serrations inside the core. Without the serrations, they're pretty easy.
Nice picking. Remember I told you I was gonna try to get a Zone on Ebay, and you said good luck. Well the luck came through. Pete sent me one, fun pick.
Anyone could explain why a lock type that you can open by beating it with a banana is most popular in world ? Even when Abloy is over 100 year old it took to 1950s to them to replace lever locks made by Boda in Finland ... pin locks never was an option when even pad locks changed from Boda to Abloy .
Why do the bean counters always get in the way of a nice lock... spend a few pennies on better bitting, and make the keying more formidable.... or as you say, use a better core.
Who makes up such type of product, over the top physics combined with the lowest level of other specs - as if it is that hard to create a lock that is hard to pick, or even hard to find what specs to aim for (like, all it takes is some specific form of keyway). I have never believed in any American conspiracy yet, as far as I can remember, but this really makes we think there might be something going on after all
You know it kind of gets old watching you pick lock after lock with none of them giving you any trouble do you actually get some locks that are any good?
If LPL can pic a lock no longer plays into if I'm going to purchase it. "Wow, he opened that fine lock in 15 seconds w/o a key" I'm gonna get one of those locks. It's well made, nearly impossible to defeat using brute force, heat or picking.

That looked like fun. I always find picking the heavier locks more satisfying, no matter how easy or hard they are. Something about subconsiously equating weight with strength.
All picking is fun! But it's always nice to open something that is clearly intended to be very high security, but is not.
"Pretty easily" for you doesn't mean the same thing for us normal humans lol
It would also be harder if it was attached to something.
Nicely picked, I do love those, mine makes a perfect stylish paper weight :-)
Thanks... paper weight or weapon -- both good uses!
To be fair, it;s awkward to pick on a flat surface.

Looking at one of these but want to upgrade the cylinder to something like a garrison
try picking it upside down like it would be on a gate or garage door. it slows you down a lot !
Then he could lie down on the ground

Truth, perfect grip makes all the difference. In the wild, under proper use the clearances would be quite a bit different.
Do you reassemble all the locks you breakdown afterwards ?
after seeing this you could drill out the 2 set screws holding the face plate on and pull the core out, then actuate with a screwdriver

Cool it fits full-size core bitting kind of dissapointing but what to expect from a standard core.

The bendy clip is called a circlip
New Jargon thanks
Not sure if that's a circlip - they are normally spring steel and return to their original shape after removal. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circlip
@@AAAyyyGGG I agree, that isn't a circlip which usually have holes in them to allow the use of circlip pliers in removing them and are, as you say, made of spring steel. The bendy clip here has no memory and will need to be reformed to refit it where a circlip would not.
That's one beefy lock
Let's see how this stands up to the 24" pipe wrench
Where did you find that lock and is it publicly available?
"Relatively easy to open"
* pats in condescending way *
would have liked to see it picked flat on the table, but I am sure it would've only slowed the process a bit.
It definitely would have been slower, but remember that I'm already picking in an awkward position... holding a 3.5lbs lock at an angle, around a tripod, while at the same time performing precise manipulations. This might sound odd, but my wrist was actually sore after shooting this video!. I'm not sure which is harder.
Yep. Imagine that thing 5ft from the ground flush against a shutter or something, tricky as hell.
To be really realistic, wouldn't you have to pick it with the key pointing downward, as it would be oriented on a hasp? Love you vids, btw!
Didn't know that LPL was from the Minnesota region, you can tell by how he says "buried"
Why was there no springs in the driver pins?
I wonder if you could use this on a pelican case
Is that music wire supposed to be thick piano wire or something?
Is there a lock you can't pick?
Is there any lock u can't due ?
Tappy Tap Tap
Hi what size was the euro cylinder 30mm?
I think that's an Abus core. Certainly the same pinning setup.
Are there any locks you can't pick?
I bet you you could make some shims that would Cheese this lock! witch if they counter milled the body and made the head larger it would stop this attack...
As a professional thief, these videos are extremely useful for telling me how to beat expensive padlocks.
What's the deal with the screw on the bottom of this lock? Can you just disassemble the lock while it's locked? I assume not but you didn't mention it
*bottom of the key way tension*
Has 6 pins to try and deter picking.
LPL: an easy pick.
They tried at least, good on them
Less of a padlock and more of an ingot
Short of replacing the core, I wonder about simply repining and then having it against a hard flat surface with the keyway facing left.
There are definitely mounting options that would make picking very, very hard. Imagine a hasp that had a large protruding wall about 3" in front of the keyhole... that would be tricky!
Which lock CANT you pick?
A Bowley.
The ABUS 20/70 is a hard one to try and pick.
Why are you interested in/ why do you care about serrated pins and spools? They dont seem to slow you down one bit, so what's the point if they cant prevent a lockpicker from picking it?

I thought it was a of platinum or something. Lock it huuuuge
got some assa pins that would make it even better.
ASSA pins are OK, but what makes them nasty is the combination of them with the serrations inside the core. Without the serrations, they're pretty easy.
Nice picking. Remember I told you I was gonna try to get a Zone on Ebay, and you said good luck. Well the luck came through. Pete sent me one, fun pick.
Anyone could explain why a lock type that you can open by beating it with a banana is most popular in world ?
Even when Abloy is over 100 year old it took to 1950s to them to replace lever locks made by Boda in Finland ... pin locks never was an option when even pad locks changed from Boda to Abloy .
I wonder if a core puller could shear the head off that screw holding the bolt mechanism?
Only if it was already unlocked. The ball bearings keep the lock together when it’s locked.
Very late to the party but cam anyone explain how that screw he removes couldn't be a security flaw?
With the lock engaged removing the screw really doesn’t do anything. The reason it looks like it because the lock is open when it just slides out
Why do the bean counters always get in the way of a nice lock... spend a few pennies on better bitting, and make the keying more formidable.... or as you say, use a better core.
bummer it was so easy to pick.
Who makes up such type of product, over the top physics combined with the lowest level of other specs - as if it is that hard to create a lock that is hard to pick, or even hard to find what specs to aim for (like, all it takes is some specific form of keyway). I have never believed in any American conspiracy yet, as far as I can remember, but this really makes we think there might be something going on after all
You know it kind of gets old watching you pick lock after lock with none of them giving you any trouble do you actually get some locks that are any good?
Lock Lab bruh doesn't gut them anymore.
What does paracentric mean. I’ve looked it up to no avail. The only info I can find has to do with chromosomes
Ramset that thing, just for the lulz
I would think the single retainer pin would make the lock extremely susceptible to a slide hammer.
I'd almost rather them not include a core if they're gonna make it that pointless.
If LPL can pic a lock no longer plays into if I'm going to purchase it.
"Wow, he opened that fine lock in 15 seconds w/o a key"
I'm gonna get one of those locks. It's well made, nearly impossible to defeat using brute force, heat or picking.
