Yeah, me too. Maybe he just never bothered. To be fair to the locksmith, it's really much more of a job than just picking. They make their living installing, replacing and servicing. The guy who comes to grind off your lock is making a housecall, and $75 sounds like a going rate. He's bonded and licensed, so a cop can't mosey up and accuse him of a crime. It costs him money to stay in business. This particular guy maybe took things a little personally, the way a doctor would with a patient who keeps looking up stuff on the internet and assuming he knows more than he does.

Dude lmao, I was waiting for him to be confident enough to describe everything he does while he does it, but tbh it was scarier when he went dead silent throughout the picking process
Anytime you see someone who knows what they're doing suddenly go silent while doing that thing, you know they mean business. I'm not personally sure entirely what that's like, but I have friends who will sit there and suddenly get anxious when I stop talking in the middle of a game. I've done this in shooter games and watched my friends actively avoid me because they know that they no longer stand a chance 😅
well, he was trying to race against the clock, he probably didn't want to use more time trying to describe what he was doing. And he's already made several Kryptonite bike lock videos anyway.
I'm reminded of a quote (I think from the movie _Lean On Me_ ), something like, "You don't have 25 years of experience! You've had the same year of experience 25 times over!"
This what the youngsters would call a "clap back" not so much at malcom but at the lock smith cause aint no shame an not being able to do it, but not asking for help or having the right tools or an over inflated sense of self... these are other issues.
I bought a used European car and needed an extra key so I went to this elaborate locksmith shop and he couldn't help me. I went to the local hardware store and he came close (sort of), he could cut a key for a Porsche 928 and mine was Italian. One day I was at the bank and when I went to my car in the car park there was a mobile locksmith van. I thought no way he's going to have one but I've learnt over the years it pays to ask and so I did, eureka! Miracle of miracles he cut me a key on the spot. Better still I was able to test it immediately incase it needed refining but it worked first time. That was 25 years ago and I still think about it to put a smile on my face, God bless him.
The fact that the locksmith had seen - or at least was completely aware of - your channel, makes me wonder why he wasn't more curious about the tools that are demonstrated. Seems like a bit of a shame he couldn't get a bit more into it and develop his skills
Especially that the tool is not hard to learn at a basic level. Nobody will be picking with it in 20-some seconds after just an hour or less of practice, say. But even a 5- or 10-minute job would be fine as a once-in-a-while thing. Not everyone’s hobby is the same as their job.
Most locksmiths aren't going to devote a significant amount of time learning about how to pick every lock or devote space/money to carrying around a large amount of specialized tools. Especially when they can just reliably destroy the lock and move on to their next job.
@@BriBCGthere isn’t that many special locks or tools to pick those locks a small handbag could carry everything you would need and more and it wouldn’t be inconvenient or heavy if your jobs to get a lock off but all you can do is cut it that job shouldn’t exist given most people have an angle grinder or a friend who has one but if you know how to pick it suddenly that’s a rarer skill set that has a reason to be worthy of a job
customers may see lockpicking as part of a locksmiths job, but a lot of places dont want their techs to pick or at the very least spend minimal time picking because it is significantly more cost efficient to destroy the old one and sell a new one. they are businesses first, and services second.
To add to this, I think it's great that LPL paused to state that he doesn't fault locksmiths since they probably don't have this particular tool in their kit nor a professional knowledge of Kryptonite bike locks, meaning the real test is of the integrity of the locksmith in question.
@Flamestripe03 but the thing is they aint self-proclaimed they do have the lockssmith education. But then again its in usa and you are kinda lacking in the education part (at least in some aspects and that are availabel/affordable to the general population )
The cool, unhurried confidence of a dude who knew he’d beat the challenge before he even opened the package. 😂 Appreciate how you acknowledged a typical locksmith’s repertoire, tho, and didn’t stoop down to diss the man back. Way to show your skills and still be kind in the process. ☺️
I hate when people pull experience bull on me. Frankly, it's an insult to my education and reasonable intelligence to tell me I can't be right or have good judgment purely because I have low experience in a field.
As LPL explains, there's no reason to assume this locksmith sucks at the technical aspects of his job: picking disc-detainer cores is not a normal thing to do. However, he certainly sucks at the customer service aspects of his job.
@@matthewmcewen1 It's an insult to you when somebody who's experienced knows more than you, who are inexperienced? Buuuuh? OK, if all you mean is "I hate it when people tell me that they know better than me and won't explain", then that's fine, but that's not what you wrote.
I love when he does these challenges, he hasn’t even opened the package yet, and there is less time left in the video than the challenger has asked for. You already know the outcome. Beautiful.
That dude definitely got owned, but you are right about one thing the most: that dude ain't getting his money back from that locksmith. I wouldn't be surprised if his number will go straight to a automated message haha
To be fair, you don't need to spend $1M for a disc detainer pick. There are options out there other than the Pick That Bosnian Bill and I Made for disc detainers. That one just happens to be one of the best R&D'd ones, for obvious reasons.
But that tool is now available for like $35 dollars now. They gave the rights to a company to mass produce it so long as it was affordable. He did a video about it a while back.
I'd be a bit suspicious if he started off with the lock already out of the wrapping. People might say that he must've done something to the lock before recording the video (though that's a bit of a stretch, of course).
Not how that sort of billing works...most businesses charge you by the hour, some by half an hour, and that starts the moment the timer starts ticking, so even if I take 10 seconds, I'm billing you an hour, and this is not taking into account the traveling costs and tools, and if I had to guess, even if he took 24 hours to do the job, he would still charge that amount. Also I would suspect that this type of work doesn't happen that frequently, so competition is going to be low as well, increasing the price...so yeah, probably $75/hour to cut a lock.
No. He have to receive call first which not all of them ends in sale, drive there, establish what's going on, prepare and bring tools, talk with client and drove back. I guess total like 40-60 minutes, 30 minutes per job which will be lucky if so. So $150 per hour maximum but he as well might not have any job or just one a day. You don't understand making a business at all.
Being a locksmith myself I can whole heartedly say I don't carry the right tools to picks this lock open and usually go for the easier route of cutting a lock open. That said I don't know if wouldve gotten irritated at the prospect of someone being able to pick this. Case in point. This video
This, to me, is a classic in your vast video collection. The way you settle the scores with that fantastically dry closing remark. The true challenge here is how to formulate the compliments you earn. This is YT at its best, it still is.
I would understand why some people in the replies of the comments would defend the locksmith for not having the necessary tools for the job if he admitted it or admitted that he doesn't know entirely about all the different types of lockpicks, but he didn't and became arrogant so...
That grip towards the thumb is very typical in both carving and cooking (particularly when using a paring knife) and gives excellent control of both edge orientation and depth of cut while also providing good leverage as you're using strength very local to the cut . The real danger comes when using a forehand grip (which uses larger arm and shoulder muscles further from the hand) and not being aware of body parts behind the piece being cut. A slipped forehand cut pushing away can swing wildly out of control and strike in particular the other arm, the legs, or a close bystander.
@@warnertesla8297 Malcolm getting his refund would be a pain in the ass at the best of times, but this was supposed to be impossible. The locksmith was so certain the lock was impossible to beat and it was picked in a ridiculously short time by the guy he called the "worst offender" of spreading lockpicking lies. He wasn't just wrong, he was laughably wrong. It's irony.
I am since over 30 years in IT, 25 of which i spent as a security expert, and every CZcamsr knows covering this subject knows jack sh.... Ohhh wait, why am i still learning on a daily basis and why do i still read up on every topic, watch every video of selected channels? Truly, just because you are in a job for a very long time, it does not mean that you are the expert and that there is nothing new to learn every day. You can even learn from people that are working only for a short time in this job. Never underestimate the power of experience and experience does not take decades to be valuable.
Yeah, for over century, pretty much any job is going to require adapting to the times. A lot of oldtimers in various professions don't like that, but it's the reality of business after the Industrial Revolution. Industries change, as new products come out or new methods are discovered. The rate of change may vary, but pretty much all of them are going to require learning something new within the first decade, if not few years.
And now this is his second most viewed video, and the locksmith is probably somewhere hoping profusely that his name never gets to the public, while desperately learning new lockpicking skills, so that no one can easily detect him
thats me doing body work on people's cars like cutting out the back trunk panel for their stereo system. I don't argue and let them draw with the marker where to cut.
At first sight it is, but: Here in Germany you can expect costs of at least 20$ for the journey. Rather more most of the time, depending on the location and distance they have to travel. The working time starts as soon as he is at the customer. So his total effort, with the discussion about the lock picking etc. will surely be at least 15 minutes. Locksmiths are still relatively expensive, but you have to remember that the bill is certainly not just these 2.5 minutes. If he was there for half an hour and we calculate travel of 20$, then the hour of work costs about 110$, which is not a very high price, no matter in what profession.
No, it's not crazy. That $75 paid for the fuel to get there, helped to offset the investment in the grinder, offset the cost of the service truck (plus tags, taxes, and insurance), offset the cost of licensing and bonding, offset the cost of that locksmiths other operating expenses, and MAYBE there was enough money left over after all of that to actually compensate the man for his time. Even 3 years ago, $75 was rather inexpensive. It would be a damn good bargain, in today's economic climate. That's the problem with service work. Nobody considers what it costs to operate a business. If you don't want to pay for the work to be done, figure out how to fix your problems by yourself. If you want to farm out your problem solving, expect to pay for it. And, when you fork over that cash, stroke that check, or run that card, remember the pain of trading that money for expensive work, and maybe don't vote for the politicians who place high financial burdens on businesses.
@@magnificenthonky That $75 could've bought a grinder, an inverter, and rented the damn truck to use for the call. When people hire *locksmiths* they expect *locksmiths* not *hacksmiths*
@@InfernosReaper Obviously, you've never rented a vehicle, run a business, or purchased quality, commercial grade tools. If you had, you'd know that, realistically, $75 wouldn't cover any of that. Especially not a truck rental. People expect a lot of things, when they call for a service. It's not uncommon for those expectations to be unrealistic. This specific bike lock, for example- to defeat that lock, in a nondestructive way, you need a special tool. You also need to know that the lock-type and the special tool exist, and you need to know how to use the tool. Most locksmiths deal with common house locks, common safes, common commercial locks, and vehicle entry. Weird ass locks, designed to secure toys, are not going to be in the wheelhouse of the average locksmith. It's silly to expect that of them, if you think about it. How many of those toy locks do you reckon locksmiths encounter? One or two, every decade? There's no reason to expect that they'd put forth the money to buy the tool (which only exists because LPL and Bosnian Bill invented it, and it's probably not in inventory at the average Locksmith Supply Warehouse.), buy two or three overpriced locks on which to practice using the special tool, and then spend all the extra time it takes to learn the tool. A tool that, again, would almost never get used. Nah, if you need to defeat some weird ass, uncommon lock, expect a grinder. And, at this point, expect that grinder to cost about $120, with the rabid inflation of this modern era. Expectation of anything better is ridiculous.
@@brianfhunter same lol I thought this was a new video but then when he burned the guy so badly I realized I had already seen this smackdown before, turns out it's 9mo old! Still equally entertaining as the first time
Him bringing up how long he has been in business was probably in same vain as an incompetent old mechanic who refuses to learn anything post 1994 saying the same shit to devalue someone who actually knows what the fuck he is talking about
i guess is to late for me,i even tried this, but i don't have good tools or experience. basically, i work with paperclips and pretty much any small thin item. i have only picked small broken/ damaged mailbox tumbler, that basically i can pick with a zip tie or tiny scissors.
Great job, we just had two locks picked and the guy charged us $220.00. My mother passed away and no one knew where keys were located for her house. Your work very impressive.
I must say despite how fast he opened that lock and as fast as he did it. I imagine it took this guy a really long time to learn all the different mechanisms that are out there and the tools that are required to open them. Not discrediting his skill at all actually the opposite. Really unique skillset man such a unique mind to tackle the some these complexities.
A quick google search shows results for that tool in the 10$ range. not sure of the quality of said tools, but if it can be had for that cheap I don't really think there is much of an excuse for a "professional" to not have one. Especially when they are charging you 75$ for the service of buying a new lock as well. if you have a spare key at home cheaper to call a friend or get a uber home than the locksmith seeing as again that bike lock is around 60$ so this hole thing cost him around 135$.
@@everynameimakeiscringe8641 You're right, but I think what they meant is that by the time LPL mentioned how long it took, there clearly wasn't that much time left.
LPL: "We timed him cutting my lock; It took him 2 minutes and 14 seconds." Me realizing that there was less time than 2'14" left in the video when he started picking the lock: not like this, the man has a family!
@@legros731 might have just had a crappy grinder, besides, they use decently high quality steel and a few other methods to keep this stuff from just being a quick easy grind job
@@zonkeymaker Thats also a good point, seeing as its a *bike* lock it likely was, possibly in a bike rack, and at the very least close to spokes/brake lines you dont want cut
All your videos have made me feel uncertain and anxious, but now I finally feel some joy. I smiled when I heard your last words. Obviously not at the fact that he probably won't get his USD75 back.
Can’t even get a locksmith to show up for $75 in Australia, and they use destructive methods to up sell. It’s cheaper to smash/cut your way in and replace the lock. Can’t even get a lock barrel keyed for less than the lock is worth!
A quick Google search shows that a cheap angle grinder can be bought for as little as £19.99 here in the UK. Throw in a few quid for a cutting disk and you could throw the lot in the trash afterwards and still turn a profit.
Just to really reemphasize the magnitude here, the video was at 2:10 when he put the knife to the package. When he put down the lock, opened, it was 3:20. So from cut package to picked with a bit of explanation of type of lock and setting timer, 1:10. Still beats the grinder by almost double.
Out him!! Mostly because of how he handled being simply questioned. You’re in a position of trust, people will have questions. Also, tech keeps evolving.
Not only picks it in 28 seconds. Adds best utube comment as well. I'd love to hear the follow up with the locksmith. I'd also love to hear lpl give the guy a call
I love this, knowing it's a circular core inside says a lot about what he is foing when he "opens" the lock by turning it, then just shifts the inside bits to slowly turn and shift his way through it.
I like that you defended the locksmith prior, that the average locksmith wouldn't have the proper tools necessary for this type of lock. Then the ass-handing commenced.
I think that's a fair point. Most people, even locksmiths, aren't likely to have such specialized tools. That's not to say this couldn't be done with simpler ones, just that the LPL is using a pretty advanced one.
That would require honesty, integrity and a genuine desire to provide good service to the best of his ability. Qualities that you rarely find these days, and for good reason - they are even more rarely appreciated
@@benkalem Except that the locksmith had said he had been doing it for 20 something years, and so in that time he could have picked up the newer tools to pick the newer types of locks coming out. I could go for it if the locksmith were a young/new locksmith getting into the business an so has had less time an money to get anything beyond the basic tools needed to be a locksmith.
Saying "You ain't shit" means "you are not shit" which is opposite to what Lockpicking Lawyer is implying. "You are shit" is the correct phrase for what LPL is implying about the other locksmith.
@@bunnyhop4938 It's street slang. You can't put logic to that. It's like when people say " I am the shit". They are implying they are the real deal basically. You aint shit, you aint the real deal.

As LPL explains, there's no reason to assume this locksmith sucks at the technical aspects of his job: picking disc-detainer cores is not a normal thing to do. However, he certainly sucks at the customer service aspects of his job.

In the locksmith's defense: he's not in the "Bosnian Bill and I" tool club.
But this video signed him up for a lifetime membership to the regular ol' "tool" club

To be fair, you don't need to spend $1M for a disc detainer pick. There are options out there other than the Pick That Bosnian Bill and I Made for disc detainers. That one just happens to be one of the best R&D'd ones, for obvious reasons.

$75 for a 2 min and 14 second job.
This guy got paid $2000/hr to cut a lock.
Not how that sort of billing works...most businesses charge you by the hour, some by half an hour, and that starts the moment the timer starts ticking, so even if I take 10 seconds, I'm billing you an hour, and this is not taking into account the traveling costs and tools, and if I had to guess, even if he took 24 hours to do the job, he would still charge that amount.
Also I would suspect that this type of work doesn't happen that frequently, so competition is going to be low as well, increasing the price...so yeah, probably $75/hour to cut a lock.
Most folks in the SF Bay Area can only dream of paying just $75.
He had to drive there
No. He have to receive call first which not all of them ends in sale, drive there, establish what's going on, prepare and bring tools, talk with client and drove back. I guess total like 40-60 minutes, 30 minutes per job which will be lucky if so. So $150 per hour maximum but he as well might not have any job or just one a day.
You don't understand making a business at all.
Being a locksmith myself I can whole heartedly say I don't carry the right tools to picks this lock open and usually go for the easier route of cutting a lock open. That said I don't know if wouldve gotten irritated at the prospect of someone being able to pick this. Case in point. This video

LPL: *cuts towards his thumb*
LPL’s thumb: *already has a bandage on it*
Boxcutter: “How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?”
I was thinking the same thing 😂😂
That grip towards the thumb is very typical in both carving and cooking (particularly when using a paring knife) and gives excellent control of both edge orientation and depth of cut while also providing good leverage as you're using strength very local to the cut . The real danger comes when using a forehand grip (which uses larger arm and shoulder muscles further from the hand) and not being aware of body parts behind the piece being cut. A slipped forehand cut pushing away can swing wildly out of control and strike in particular the other arm, the legs, or a close bystander.

I am since over 30 years in IT, 25 of which i spent as a security expert, and every CZcamsr knows covering this subject knows jack sh.... Ohhh wait, why am i still learning on a daily basis and why do i still read up on every topic, watch every video of selected channels? Truly, just because you are in a job for a very long time, it does not mean that you are the expert and that there is nothing new to learn every day. You can even learn from people that are working only for a short time in this job. Never underestimate the power of experience and experience does not take decades to be valuable.
Yeah, for over century, pretty much any job is going to require adapting to the times. A lot of oldtimers in various professions don't like that, but it's the reality of business after the Industrial Revolution. Industries change, as new products come out or new methods are discovered. The rate of change may vary, but pretty much all of them are going to require learning something new within the first decade, if not few years.

$75 just for 2 minutes of standing there cutting through a lock is crazy
At first sight it is, but: Here in Germany you can expect costs of at least 20$ for the journey. Rather more most of the time, depending on the location and distance they have to travel. The working time starts as soon as he is at the customer. So his total effort, with the discussion about the lock picking etc. will surely be at least 15 minutes. Locksmiths are still relatively expensive, but you have to remember that the bill is certainly not just these 2.5 minutes. If he was there for half an hour and we calculate travel of 20$, then the hour of work costs about 110$, which is not a very high price, no matter in what profession.
but you can buy a new grinder for $75 and do it yourself@@CriAlch
No, it's not crazy. That $75 paid for the fuel to get there, helped to offset the investment in the grinder, offset the cost of the service truck (plus tags, taxes, and insurance), offset the cost of licensing and bonding, offset the cost of that locksmiths other operating expenses, and MAYBE there was enough money left over after all of that to actually compensate the man for his time. Even 3 years ago, $75 was rather inexpensive. It would be a damn good bargain, in today's economic climate.
That's the problem with service work. Nobody considers what it costs to operate a business. If you don't want to pay for the work to be done, figure out how to fix your problems by yourself. If you want to farm out your problem solving, expect to pay for it. And, when you fork over that cash, stroke that check, or run that card, remember the pain of trading that money for expensive work, and maybe don't vote for the politicians who place high financial burdens on businesses.
@@magnificenthonky That $75 could've bought a grinder, an inverter, and rented the damn truck to use for the call.
When people hire *locksmiths* they expect *locksmiths* not *hacksmiths*
@@InfernosReaper Obviously, you've never rented a vehicle, run a business, or purchased quality, commercial grade tools. If you had, you'd know that, realistically, $75 wouldn't cover any of that. Especially not a truck rental.
People expect a lot of things, when they call for a service. It's not uncommon for those expectations to be unrealistic.
This specific bike lock, for example- to defeat that lock, in a nondestructive way, you need a special tool. You also need to know that the lock-type and the special tool exist, and you need to know how to use the tool.
Most locksmiths deal with common house locks, common safes, common commercial locks, and vehicle entry.
Weird ass locks, designed to secure toys, are not going to be in the wheelhouse of the average locksmith. It's silly to expect that of them, if you think about it.
How many of those toy locks do you reckon locksmiths encounter? One or two, every decade? There's no reason to expect that they'd put forth the money to buy the tool (which only exists because LPL and Bosnian Bill invented it, and it's probably not in inventory at the average Locksmith Supply Warehouse.), buy two or three overpriced locks on which to practice using the special tool, and then spend all the extra time it takes to learn the tool. A tool that, again, would almost never get used.
Nah, if you need to defeat some weird ass, uncommon lock, expect a grinder. And, at this point, expect that grinder to cost about $120, with the rabid inflation of this modern era. Expectation of anything better is ridiculous.

I imagine it took this guy a really long time to learn all the different mechanisms that are out there and the tools that are required to open them. Not discrediting his skill at all actually the opposite. Really unique skillset man such a unique mind to tackle the some these complexities.

A quick google search shows results for that tool in the 10$ range. not sure of the quality of said tools, but if it can be had for that cheap I don't really think there is much of an excuse for a "professional" to not have one. Especially when they are charging you 75$ for the service of buying a new lock as well. if you have a spare key at home cheaper to call a friend or get a uber home than the locksmith seeing as again that bike lock is around 60$ so this hole thing cost him around 135$.

Buy the angle grinder off of him for $30 (yes, they go for more, but they also go for less) and do it yourself.
been there, though as it was after hours i charged 170€ :)=
ETA: my grinder was more than that though.
A quick Google search shows that a cheap angle grinder can be bought for as little as £19.99 here in the UK. Throw in a few quid for a cutting disk and you could throw the lot in the trash afterwards and still turn a profit.
nagualdesign i got one for 13 usd then a couple discs for 5 usd
Just to really reemphasize the magnitude here, the video was at 2:10 when he put the knife to the package. When he put down the lock, opened, it was 3:20. So from cut package to picked with a bit of explanation of type of lock and setting timer, 1:10. Still beats the grinder by almost double.
