@@DeeSnow97 It’s perfectly safe as long as the code key works. Gun safes like this are intended to keep small children from get hold of a firearm, not to secure valuables from thieves. Anyone in the house old enough to jimmy a lock are old enough to understand proper gun safety and have access. In our house, they wouldn’t need to break into the safe because they know the combination and have their own firearm inside. In our house, firearms are safe in themselves because everyone understands them. You wouldn’t call a hammer unsafe because someone might smack themselves in the face with it, I wouldn’t call a firearm unsafe for the same reason. Ignorant people are unsafe, tools are not.
It's a good safe to put in the starting area to introduce new players to the lockpicking mechanic and reward them with a moderately powerful handgun about an hour before it starts appearing in normal gameplay
To be fair, that's what a lot of vigilante hackers tend to do. Break in somewhere, exit out and break in again with the same exploit, then inform the place they broke into hoping they'll offer a reward over legal action! I think that's why your typical vigilante heroes like Batman or Green Arrow have to start out rich, because usually the rewards are small and the legal action is harsh!

I used to do that too, also with a thin flathead screwdriver. Worked on a very cheap bike lock we had lying around once and on an older metal tool cabinet. Probably would have worked on this too…

Yeah, that looks like the quality of a lock from a drawer in my highschool engineering class my teacher told us we weren't allowed into. Considering we had a bunch of tools in various nearby drawers that were always unlocked, that drawer bothered me. I picked it with some thin hex keys after a little trial and error. For some reason the thing my engineering teacher didn't want us to have was just a single brick. I was baffled and asked why he was locking away a brick and he was even more confused as to how I got into the locked drawer.
@@Poroner It'd be funny if that as the case but it was just a straight up loose red brick you'd use to build a house or something. His reasoning was to not let students get a hold of it and break stuff with it. I personally was hoping it was something more spicy, but hey, it is what it is
LPL really needs to start up a new line of videos, locks and locking products that he endorses as being good quality. I’d love to learn of a product in this category that gets a thumb up from him.

In any case, that is all I have for you today, if you do have any questions or comments about the..."
I do wonder about this - he may use his own videos in future cases to show the court that no, this was not an acceptable gun lock and the company who built it should be liable instead of the person who bought it
This thing have level of security between "under welcome mat" and "in flower pot". Obviously worse than cheapest zip-ties, but still better than sticker "don't touch".
I think if you wrapped the sticker 'don't touch' around the trigger guard it would take you longer to make the gun active than accessing it in the safe.
Did anyone else see an ad for a gun safe from the same company before the video? It’s a bold choice to advertise before a video that shows one of their products being opened with a trivial amount of effort.

I'm sensing a theme here with the firearm security devices, they aren't actually there to provide any tangible prevention, they're simply there for ticking boxes for insurance and legal requirements when it comes to gun ownership and storage.
The best line of defense from a curious adolescent is knowledge. Teach them gun safety and how to use the weapon and the forbidden fruit temptation is lessened. But also keep it in a good safe.
I've opened those wafer locks with a steak knife before (to get into my own stuff that I had lost the key for, to be clear). Serrated edge = wave rake, back of the blade = tension ratchet. Literally just stick the blade in and wiggle it a little and its open. To charge $80 for something that opens that easily is just a straight up scam.
Why is no-one suing these companies? Is there no standard regarding locks, let alone gun storage devices? I would think gun laws would be stringent because of the liability if someone steals your weapon.
👍👌👏 Thanks a lot for showing that unfortunately any day more crap is sold nowadays by companies greedy for money and power. Best regards, luck and health.
I wonder if... (1) This "safe" could be opened by dropping it, and (2) If that wafer lock can be changed by the end user for something ore substantial and actually decent..
The core is the least of the issues. The latch is 100% plastic. You can force it with minimal effort with any prying tool like a flathead screwdriver. It probably would open on drop if something heavy enough (like a metal firearm) was actually inside...
Isn’t it terrible? I’ve noticed this trend with so many different industries apart from the lockmaking industry, stuff is just getting more and more expensive over time but not getting any better or even sometimes getting WORSE. Hope that turns around real soon or I’m just gonna have to buy stuff from before I was born from now on 🤣🤣the time where things were actually built to last and not to break from “wear and tear” after a year.
@@asher8085 If you can slap 2 or 3 unnecessary features for +10% the cost and sell at +300% the price... You'd be dumb not to. Unless you want to have a reputation.
I bought one of these recently to keep my guns safe from my children. It's cheap but it does its job. I don't think my 5 year old will be picking locks anytime soon
I'm guessing you'll be fine for a couple years, but don't underestimate children. Be sure to investigate whether it's vulnerable to dropping attacks as well, some gun safes can just pop open when impacted the right way. It also looks like the reset button is reasonably easy to press with a thin bit of metal, such as a butterknife. I'd replace it around when they turn 8, personally, though it does depend on your family's situation. In my experience, that's when I had easy access to both the Internet and peer pressure.
Hope you're kidding. It would probabaly work with any key you could fit in it or maybe a screwdriver. Or like CelestialTree wrote, a butterknife or anything thin by the reset button. Or just throwing it at a concrete wall/floor.
@@johanmalm8378 The safe is just one line of protection. It is important to teach your children about guns and gun safety. Both of mine know that it's not a toy, and they wouldn't touch it even if I left it unsecured.
@@platypus5596 Now *that* is the real way to do it. Absolutely good on you, no amount of physical prevention beats ensuring they just don't want to access it in the first place.

Came here to say this. In Massachusetts you need to have your gun locked in a safe at all times by law. My ltc teacher reccomended a gun safe so shitty that it could be opened by pounding on the face without entering a code. That way you could have quick access to a firearm and not catch a felony in your own fucking home.
@@AlcoholicBoredom Yes we do. But we have to sane, if that's what you're thinking about. Lots of guns for hunting, and it works. Teenagers hate to wait though.
Bought a similar type of gun case from sports authority during a liquidation sale for cheap. Sat on the shelf for 5 years because the battery was dead and the keys were inside. Watched your video, used a screwdriver to open the lock and bam, just like that I was in.
That's an odd looking paperweight; doesn't really match my decor, but to each their own. The gun is less likely to be stolen if you just left it in the open with a Post-It note attached that says "I licked the trigger, watch out for cooties!"
@@julianlastname5730 you've never met a suburban white guy from West Michigan. There are only two types of gun owners among them: the ones who get the strongest, highest-rated, most trusted safes they can find, and the ones who would use a plastic shoe box with some clear office tape if they could get away with it.
You're on to something, its just marketed wrong. This isn't a gun safe, its a decoy gun safe. You put nothing in it and leave it visible and hide the real gun safe somewhere else.
@@eric_the_egggremlin Fun fact: Israel has strong gun control laws, which includes allowing citizens to possess firearms, provided that they always keep them tightly locked away in a strong safe when not in use. Failure to do so is a severe crime.

I'm in construction. On one job site I needed to use a forklift but ours was in use elsewhere. One of the sub contractor ones was nearby and not in use. I asked the nearest higher up, the head safety guy for the entire site, if he thought they'd let us use it. He tells me to wait a second and goes in his office. A minute later he comes out with lock picks and just fires it up. Moments after I was done using it the subcontractor showed up, saw the now fucked ignition and was _pissed_ that it happened again. Of course I told him some guy from one of the other companies did it.

i just wanna say, if you're safes can be picked up and carried out of the door. most likely no one will try to pick it. they'll just brute force it open. if you're going to invest in a safe, get one you can bolt to the ground!
This is for keeping your EDC out of a toddlers hands, once the kids are taught firearm safety, this "safe" has outlived its usefulness

Yeah, that looks like the quality of a lock from a drawer in my highschool engineering class my teacher told us we weren't allowed into. Considering we had a bunch of tools in various nearby drawers that were always unlocked, that drawer bothered me. I picked it with some thin hex keys after a little trial and error. For some reason the thing my engineering teacher didn't want us to have was just a single brick. I was baffled and asked why he was locking away a brick and he was even more confused as to how I got into the locked drawer.
Did you ever learn why he was hiding a brick though? Don't leave us hanging.
Plot twist it was a crack brick
@@Poroner It'd be funny if that as the case but it was just a straight up loose red brick you'd use to build a house or something. His reasoning was to not let students get a hold of it and break stuff with it. I personally was hoping it was something more spicy, but hey, it is what it is

This thing have level of security between "under welcome mat" and "in flower pot". Obviously worse than cheapest zip-ties, but still better than sticker "don't touch".
I think if you wrapped the sticker 'don't touch' around the trigger guard it would take you longer to make the gun active than accessing it in the safe.

@@andrewallason4530 can confirm
The best line of defense from a curious adolescent is knowledge. Teach them gun safety and how to use the weapon and the forbidden fruit temptation is lessened.
But also keep it in a good safe.
Agreed! Gun safety begins with gun knowledge. My nieces and nephews all owned and shot guns before their tenth birthdays and have never had any issue.
Wow! Even the mechanical lock is quick access! The marvels of technology.
I mean, they do call it quick access, the wafer lock is a feature
Lmaooo you right
When the key is slower than just picking the lock.
That describes the "Weiser" brand entryway locks at a place where I once lived.
Apparently the latch is plastic. So a butter knife or screwdriver is even faster. Could probably turn it sideways and stand on it to open.
He said "its difficult NOT to get this open" 🤣🤣🤣 i agree 100%
The fact an Onnais advertisement came up prior to the video is the definition of irony.
"This is the LockPickingLaw- [click] oh, come on. At least let me finish the intro."
I've opened those wafer locks with a steak knife before (to get into my own stuff that I had lost the key for, to be clear). Serrated edge = wave rake, back of the blade = tension ratchet. Literally just stick the blade in and wiggle it a little and its open. To charge $80 for something that opens that easily is just a straight up scam.
Two part nonslip flat blade screwdrivers work quite well too.
Will the classic hairpin with a straight and wavy side open this without any specialized tools?
Was gonna' say - looks like you can open this with a screwdriver and maybe a nail file. Or paper clip. Or hair clip.
@@johndododoe1411 dependent on the material the hairpin is made out of, yes. as long as it doesn't flex.
Why is no-one suing these companies? Is there no standard regarding locks, let alone gun storage devices? I would think gun laws would be stringent because of the liability if someone steals your weapon.
👍👌👏 Thanks a lot for showing that unfortunately any day more crap is sold nowadays by companies greedy for money and power.
Best regards, luck and health.
Faster to pick it then you actually punch in numbers😂😂😂
I wonder if... (1) This "safe" could be opened by dropping it, and (2) If that wafer lock can be changed by the end user for something ore substantial and actually decent..
But like why tho.
The core is the least of the issues. The latch is 100% plastic. You can force it with minimal effort with any prying tool like a flathead screwdriver. It probably would open on drop if something heavy enough (like a metal firearm) was actually inside...
Fucking smack that shit on the floor and it's flying open, horrible product
like some rope or paracod
Just fill the lock with compound
Products aren’t getting better. They’re getting more gimmicky and expensive
Isn’t it terrible? I’ve noticed this trend with so many different industries apart from the lockmaking industry, stuff is just getting more and more expensive over time but not getting any better or even sometimes getting WORSE. Hope that turns around real soon or I’m just gonna have to buy stuff from before I was born from now on 🤣🤣the time where things were actually built to last and not to break from “wear and tear” after a year.
The phone industry isn't, its just doing the same thing
@@asher8085 If you can slap 2 or 3 unnecessary features for +10% the cost and sell at +300% the price... You'd be dumb not to.

Products are made to sell. Not last or perform
What else would you expect from capitalism?
Wow. That lock picked so quick, I thought his tools had slipped out.
I bought one of these recently to keep my guns safe from my children. It's cheap but it does its job. I don't think my 5 year old will be picking locks anytime soon
I'm guessing you'll be fine for a couple years, but don't underestimate children. Be sure to investigate whether it's vulnerable to dropping attacks as well, some gun safes can just pop open when impacted the right way. It also looks like the reset button is reasonably easy to press with a thin bit of metal, such as a butterknife.
I'd replace it around when they turn 8, personally, though it does depend on your family's situation. In my experience, that's when I had easy access to both the Internet and peer pressure.
Hope you're kidding. It would probabaly work with any key you could fit in it or maybe a screwdriver. Or like CelestialTree wrote, a butterknife or anything thin by the reset button. Or just throwing it at a concrete wall/floor.
@@johanmalm8378 The safe is just one line of protection. It is important to teach your children about guns and gun safety. Both of mine know that it's not a toy, and they wouldn't touch it even if I left it unsecured.

@@lemeres2478,
I’m with you man, but to be honest, while the wet paper bag would be a lot more secure, it would likely rust up your gun.
Came here to say this. In Massachusetts you need to have your gun locked in a safe at all times by law. My ltc teacher reccomended a gun safe so shitty that it could be opened by pounding on the face without entering a code. That way you could have quick access to a firearm and not catch a felony in your own fucking home.

Bought a similar type of gun case from sports authority during a liquidation sale for cheap. Sat on the shelf for 5 years because the battery was dead and the keys were inside. Watched your video, used a screwdriver to open the lock and bam, just like that I was in.
When he says "OK folks...." you know you're in trouble ...
That's an odd looking paperweight; doesn't really match my decor, but to each their own.
The gun is less likely to be stolen if you just left it in the open with a Post-It note attached that says "I licked the trigger, watch out for cooties!"
In these times, you couldn't be more correct.
Everyone gangsta until they found that wave rake is actually the backup key.

It's actually quite safe because it's so easy to open that you'll never put a gun in it.

@@julianlastname5730 you've never met a suburban white guy from West Michigan.

This makes all the video games with lockpicking a digital safe with a paper clip extremely validated.
It all now boiled down to: "Don't buy locks at Amazon".
I work at a meat-packing plant for one of the US’s largest retail corporations. We have a small conveyor that runs through a metal detector at our rework station. When meat passes through it that contains metal, it trips and stops. It is supposed to be restarted via a key, so that supervisors can check that the belt is clear of any potentially contaminated meat before restarting. Makes sense right?
Well a while back we found out that we could bypass the whole waiting-on-a-supervisor thing entirely by using the small paring knife at the table as a key instead. A week or two ago we found out it doesn’t even need that anymore. You can just grab the protruding knob the keyhole is in and turn it.
Maintenance still hasn’t fixed it.
I'm in construction. On one job site I needed to use a forklift but ours was in use elsewhere. One of the sub contractor ones was nearby and not in use. I asked the nearest higher up, the head safety guy for the entire site, if he thought they'd let us use it. He tells me to wait a second and goes in his office. A minute later he comes out with lock picks and just fires it up. Moments after I was done using it the subcontractor showed up, saw the now fucked ignition and was _pissed_ that it happened again. Of course I told him some guy from one of the other companies did it.
