If this was the most secure one in Walmart, and it took 21 secs to open, then there must be at least 1 or 2 locks that can be picked just by staring at them with proper intensity... ;)
I mean, not much more than that, right? The average WalMart lock is (1) shimmable; (2) susceptible to just being pulled on hard; and/or (3) has a combination an app on your smartphone will tell you. Probably a lot of them can be bypassed, too, which is definitely faster than using the key :)
@@magicbread8111 lmao you just gave me an idea. LPL should totally make an april fools video or something where he programs a lock to open while he says something, making it look like he opened it by just staring at it really hard.
I did it! First lock I ever picked. Tried it twice to be sure it wasn’t a fluke, too. With a crudely made tensioner and rake I fashioned from some 1/16 tig filler rod and a paper clip. What a rewarding feeling. Thank you! Tomorrow I’m going to draw up prints for a tubular lock tensioner I’ll fabricate with some galvanized mild steel I found laying around that just happens to have anatomically appropriate bends in it already. What an entertaining hobby. That lock has been stuck on my bike for years, wish me luck!
Ha! At school I find it almost impossible to open the locks (well, it takes me about a minute to open any lock since I'm awful at it). The locks are four pins (I'm pretty sure), and are Master-commissioned (the standard for my school system). If given permission, I, a pretty novice picker, could probably pop it with paperclips.
Given his comment that "they are using driver pins that are far too short" I think the shear line might be between driver pin and spring for pin number two. I wish LPL would elaborate.
@@Thermalions It seems that 2 of those pins are set just by pushing the entire pin past the sheer line. No bitting on the key for those because the pins don't come down far enough to reach it?
@@jtm232556 he either got lucky and the driver pins are exactly at the sheer line or the driver pin was too short and the key pin itself passed the sheer line or the was no pin at all. Even with short driver pins he should have had to set it. Maybe it was cut so high he bumped it and didn't notice which I've done on shit locks.
Hello LPL, I wanted to let you know how much your videos inspired me, I recently ordered the Southord pxs-14 set and single pin picked my first padlock.. (which I was incredibly proud of myself even tho it was a really cheap lock). But thank you so much I love figuring things out and this is a perfect hobbies sport for myself to get into... Again Thank you for the great content.
LPL, I have been watching you for years and I just bought the CI genesis set. After picking every lock on my house yesterday, I went to Wal-Mart today and bought a bunch of padlocks including this one. I picked this in about 20 seconds. Obviously I am still a novice but I want to thank you for being the sole inspiration for me to start picking, as I feel it may be a true skill of mine I just unlocked (no pun intended).
So high or no cuts are actually more fun to pick when you're doing security pins because you have to push the pin up through a long travel and you can really see the spools and serrations at work. The deep cuts mean you might only get one quick click and an overset. At least for me, high cuts that get deeper the further in to the lock you go are the easiest to pick. I have three of these locks, one with high cuts going down to deep, one with bitting of 4334 and one with a high cut at pin three guarding a deep cut at 4 which is kinda difficult to pick. I'm not sure how far in to the realm of cheating it is to go through the pile of locks in the comedy aisle looking at bitting until you find the ones you feel like picking or not but if I'm getting more than one I try and get one easy one and one difficult one.
I too looked at the locks at Walmart, and marveled to find that every single pin tumbler lock they offered at that location had just four pins -- except for one single lock that had five. Prices ranged from less than 3 dollars up to about 15. I bought a cheap Chinese laminated lock for under $3 just for fun, got it home and raked it open in about 20 seconds. A predictable result.
The lack of ball bearings and the extra pin is because this was made for Walmart, and Walmart specifies cheap not good. Companies will literally make cheaper, shittier versions of their products just for sale at Wally World because otherwise the store won't carry any of their stuff.
Yup, this is most evident with their electronics. Look at the 60" to 70" TV. Sure it is a name brand and half the cost, but it is stripped to the bare bones inside.
If only more Walmart shoppers recognized their own culpability in the race to the bottom and off-shoring of jobs and manufacture and the degree to which their practices ultimately lead to competitors being forced to do the same out of economic necessity since they had to match Walmart prices - and the way Walmart extorts those low prices from manufacturers really ought to be criminal as it really is economic extortion as they even require manufacturers to sell them wholesale merchandise even if it means the manufacturer has to sell the item to Walmart at below manufacturer cost and if the manufacturer tries to drop the unprofitable product then Walmart threatens to drop their entire product line (by which time many manufactures have already been forced to take out expansion loans in order to manufacture in the volume Walmart demands, so having their entire product line dropped would mean likely defaulting in those loans, thus trapping the manufacturer in a bad deal and practically eternal catch-22). We now live in a world where it is remarkably difficult to find a real middle-ground in terms of quality and most everything is either junk or near luxury level “high end”. I quit shopping at Walmart bank in the early 90s when I saw the effect they had on small town businesses whenever they would move into town (specifically Chiefland, FL)...soon after most other shops in town would be effectively forced out of business. Unfortunately, half my extended family still shops at Walmart, but I did at least win over the other half who will not. We humans really are like mindless moths to a flame, show us a piece of junk at a low enough price and we can not seem to help but to hand over our money even when we know it will be junk and will lead to loss of manufacturing jobs and small mom and pop businesses - I swear the phenomena resembles drug addiction!
Ethan Poole if there’s an alternative to shopping at Walmart, that’s one thing, but in many places the driving out of business part has already happened and there no longer is an alternative.
In fairness, most consumer grade locks are sold on ease-of-use rather than the security they offer. This is why it's rare to find a lock that has a tight fitment on the keyway. You'll never have a hard time sliding the key in or back out like what you'd see on challenge locks.
You should try the US General lock from harbor freight. It's $6.49 the shackle is very thick, it has ball bearing mechanism, 5 spools with great bitting and while it has really loose tolerances it uses extremely heavy spring tension to hold everything together and bend your picks. Sure It's not a medeco, but for well under 10 dollars it checks a lot of boxes.
I just picked up this lock and find that it's actually a bit easier than some of the dollar store locks I've picked up. It's a very comfortable lock to pick because there is plenty of room to get tools in that big keyway.
Although I have to say, seeing water downed version sold at walmart isn't surprising, they do have their "special" versions of many things that manufacturers cut cost on.
I'm not sure if someone has brought this up but I was able to place a single hook pick where the groove would be, at the top of key, push it in until it stops. Wiggle a little up & down and it pops right open. 1-2 seconds and no tensioner needed, just a single pick. Really push it in, feels like it's going into springs, it doesnt damage the lock.

I have the same padlock I took the whole thing apart and threaded the Bible and the core..and added security pins and put stronger springs in the locking Paul's and it helped alot..i do like you video's alot thanks for sharing your videos..
It’s funny this popped up in my feed bc I work at Walmart and someone cut our outdoor patio area lock overnight and it was a Brinks but with a much thinner and longer shackle than this one.
Not sure if this one has the flaw, but the little version (162-40001) has an ungauarded back if the keyway. It was my first "real" lock to try picking. Imagine my surprise when it popped open while I was probing around getting a feel for it...
So, I'm not sure about the 50mm variant, but the 40mm variant doesn't have shielding at the back of the core, you can pop this padlock without tension, just a pick, or even just some wire.
I have one of these locks at my house and this what got me to your Channel I ordered a set offline and I just opened my first lock I'm already addicted thanks a lot lock picking lawyer lol
The core of the lock also is not guarded on the back you can take a straight pick push the pins up a little bit add insert straight back and it also unlock
I bought a brand less lamenated "hardened steel" lock for about 3 bucks at walmart and all I did was grad the clip of a pilot brand pen, straightened it out, stab it into the keyhole, and pressed up, there's a pin liked feeling and a click, you don't even have to turn the lock, it literally just opens, the process can take anywhere from 1 second to 10 seconds
I just bought this as my first lock to pick and the bitting on mine is nowhere near that bad. I've gotten in a half dozen times but still can't quite get it consistent.
I actually bought this lock as a training aid. Along with a cheap Chinese knock off of a master lock. To be fair it does take a bit of skill to open. The Master Lock copy was very easy. I literally picked it in my car. Lol but the brinks lock definitely took some practice. The counter rotations are what takes some getting used to. The LPL makes all of these locks look extremely easy to pick. But unless you have already had experience in picking. This lock is a definite good stepping stone. My next lock/challenge is a series 1100 American lock. My actual lock used at work for lockout tag outs!
How does this Brinks compare to the Wal-Mart purchased Brinks model 162-51091? My packaging for the 51091says "PROMAX Security", 4 pins, pick resistant, cut resistant to 9,300 pounds (also has the boron steel shackle), pry resistant to 4,000 pounds - it doesn't claim any security pins, though.
I bought one of these to try learning lockpicking. Mine is much tougher than yours. It has bitting of 6121. (I know this because they stamp the bitting code onto the keys.) I've gotten it a few times, but that 6 pin right up at the front of the cylinder makes it really tough. Also, the springs feel really weak, so it doesn't give much feedback.
I remember my friend handing me one of these Brinks padlocks to try. I surprised myself by opening it in less than a minute. I have a Brinks R70 disk lock that I pick as a fidget now.
LPL, i bought a brinks 162-4001 for the sole purpose of picking. It is much the same as this one. It has 4 pins. #2 is very deep. It is allegedly high security and "pick resistant". However i was able to rake it open in less than 5 minutes as an absolutrly unskilled novice picker. Disgustingly bad.
I've been learning how to pick using only a single paperclip, and this was the first lock I opened, got it open in about 1 minute (not counting the time it took to transform the paperclip.)
My key wouldn't even open it and I had to zip it to get the last two pins to set with WAY more tension than I was comfortable with. After that the key started working fine. The only 4-pin lock I've gotten so far that's given me any trouble and I'm still trying to figure out why and how.
The other Brinks with the ball bearing mechanism, can you please share the model of that one? Or maybe share the Amazon link to it so you can make a couple pennies, that would be the least I can do. :-)
Everyone is trash talking cheap locks, but Ive seen this guy and others pick quite expensive locks easily. Anyone that knows how to lockpick will easily defeat most common padlocks. Lpl can pick locks like the squire ss100cs with two six pin cores in only 3 minutes. Most common locks from hardware stores can be picked in seconds. In my opinion, it doesnt make much sense to buy expensive locks that are only slightly harder to pick. The $30 masterlock from Lowe or similar isn't much better than this $5 Brinks. To each his own though.
Yesterday I saw a cable lock "secured" by a 4-digit combination padlock just hanging off a fence, and wondered if that was someone "saving their spot" or whether it had already had the bike stolen out of it. I was half-tempted to try and take it home with me, but the area was a little too busy for me to start trying to decode it without any tools - lesson learned, remember my tools more often!
Dear lock picking lawyer, thanks for inspiring me to pick this lock, I have had this lock for a year now! I hope you can check out my lock picking skills! Thank you very much for inspiring me for picking locks @LockPickingLawyer the lock was pretty easy to open!
Greetings lock picking lawyer. I come to you to say, i am stumped. I purchased some clear locks and learned the basics. With practive i've gotten better! I can open all the doors in my house and a the lock you show in this video. HOWEVER I'm stumped on this Master Lock Num.3 i've had it for years but i cant seem to get any consistence feedback from the pins. The key still works but even with the lightest tension possible the pins seem to grind through the shafts. I can't get it, do you have any tips? P.S. I'm single pin picking.
I have a dozen large brinks padlocks like that. I am a novice picker, but I was able to easily pick them all. This type of locks only keep some people honest. With these locks, I almost feel why bother.
Definetly not Wal-Mart's best locks. If you exclude their online store you're not seeing the whole picture. I used to be an automotive technician for them and sometimes we would use the computers to look up obscure stuff like enormous tires, ghillie suits, and coffins. Semantics, I know, but you'll find using the .com to be more interesting.
Braedon Olsen that’s because Wal-Mart allows other companies to sell their products online. If you go into the store you’ll see the difference between that and the online stores
@@CGPJames Well yeah, that's my point. The online store is a part of Wal-Mart. And go into a Wal-Mart and tell me, how many products in Wal-Mart are made by Wal-Mart? None. Not even their batteries or their "knock off brand" products. You're preaching to the choir, I'm an ex employee. When selling tires to customers, if they needed something not in stock I had two options: go to American Discount Tire and place an order, or refer them to "our" online store. Also Wal-Mart has a policy against price matching against itself or sister companies. If something was cheaper on the online store, I can't give you that price. If it's cheaper in a Wal-Mart store, I can't give you that price. cheaper at Sam's Club? Doesn't matter. And the quickest, cheapest oil change is actively bid for by competing oil companies. It used to be supertech, now it's penzoil. My point here is regardless of brick and mortar or online, the store is always playing the same role between product and consumer. The reason its cheaper online is because the item gets stocked with a guarantee you'll buy it, which is also why the selection is broader. Meanwhile the store itself keeps products with the risk no purchase will be made, which determines which Wal-Mart stores get stocked with what. You go to a store in Fresno versus a store in Milwaukee, the products are different. So my argument, which is still valid, is that the best locks are online.
I got the 40mm version. Was surprised to see security pins in a made in china lock. I went out of my way to choose one with some mean bitting not expecting it to give me this much trouble.
Literally learned lock picking yesterday and i dont even have quality picks. I got this picked in 5 minutes multiple times no where near his time but that should tell you something
I've never picked a lock before and I was just able to pick this one after watching your videos for a while. I'm guessing it's got spools on all of the drivers, if I overset any of the pins I have to reset and try again.
I got this to try out lockpicking and I've been struggling with it for like an hour. Guess I'll have to start out on a see through practice lock instead
I’m a newbie so I apologize for what may possibly be a stupid question but...what are the point in having security pins? You seem to just mention them in passing like they are really no different than regular pins and they definitely didn’t seem to slow you down either
I've personally found it easier to reach into the back of this lock and grab the locking mechanism. Opens in seconds, and if you can get one in the right spot it can literally be opened with a single paper clip. It's a garbage excuse for a lock. It doesn't matter how many security pins are in it, if it can be opened without having to set any of the pins.
Your videos made me try lockpicking myself in the past week. I have a masterlock and i have this lock. I can open the masterlock decently quick with Bobbypins, but this lock keeps throwing me off. Maybe I’m not putting enough time in practicing it, or I maybe just suck.
Question, sir: You said pin #2 was high cut and wasn't touched so they were using short drivers. It looks like both pin 1 and 2 are cut the same, an apparent zero lift. So why did pin 1 have to be set and not 2? Also, I thought a zero lift pin had nothing to do with the length of the driver. The top of the key pin is cut so that it's already at the shear line regardless of the length of the driver. Can you help me understand what I've gotten wrong? Thanks!
I have something like that where it was made to look like a master lock, and the name has long since rubbed off so I dont know if it was a Brinks or not. But I do know that it's not hard to pick it at all. I hardly use it for anything except picking. :)
Ok can you or have you made a list of the locks that you recommend? I believe I will go through all of these videos at some point but I can’t wait that long to find the lock I need lol
Can you make (or link if you already have) make a video were you explain what you're doing inside the lock? I get what you mean with resistance and click but I don't understand "counter rotation".
Grate video. thank you for the review. I have one of these locks for my bike. they say locks only keep out the honest people, and it is big and heavy and looks hard to cut. will you please do a video trying to cut it with bolt cutters thank you
Is that a hook 7? I like the bent pry bar. I’m guessing heat is required to bend? I tried and snapped one like a twig. I’m obviously very new at this. Thank you for the videos I’m in awe of your talent.
The 40mm brinks I got as my first lock I can legit stick my short hook halfway in and lift up near the first 2 pins and it opens. I can do it in like 2 seconds 😭
If this was the most secure one in Walmart, and it took 21 secs to open, then there must be at least 1 or 2 locks that can be picked just by staring at them with proper intensity... ;)
I wonder if there are locks in stores that let themselfes be opened just with the tensiontool and the right amount of pressure on the pins.
Just staring won't do it, they require firm vocal instruction.
"UNLOCK!"

the cuts on that key even before watching the rest of the video I know the lock is gonna open real fast
So, I'm not sure about the 50mm variant, but the 40mm variant doesn't have shielding at the back of the core, you can pop this padlock without tension, just a pick, or even just some wire.
I have one of these locks at my house and this what got me to your Channel I ordered a set offline and I just opened my first lock I'm already addicted thanks a lot lock picking lawyer lol
the 33 dislikes are from the engineers of the lock series
I went through Foley Belsaw Correspondence course back in the 80's. I'm inspired to get back into picking from your videos
The core of the lock also is not guarded on the back you can take a straight pick push the pins up a little bit add insert straight back and it also unlock
LPL - great review and presentation. I bet Walmart BoD don’t buy their personal locks from Walmart.
I bought a brand less lamenated "hardened steel" lock for about 3 bucks at walmart and all I did was grad the clip of a pilot brand pen, straightened it out, stab it into the keyhole, and pressed up, there's a pin liked feeling and a click, you don't even have to turn the lock, it literally just opens, the process can take anywhere from 1 second to 10 seconds
I just bought this as my first lock to pick and the bitting on mine is nowhere near that bad. I've gotten in a half dozen times but still can't quite get it consistent.
I actually bought this lock as a training aid. Along with a cheap Chinese knock off of a master lock. To be fair it does take a bit of skill to open. The Master Lock copy was very easy. I literally picked it in my car. Lol but the brinks lock definitely took some practice. The counter rotations are what takes some getting used to. The LPL makes all of these locks look extremely easy to pick. But unless you have already had experience in picking. This lock is a definite good stepping stone. My next lock/challenge is a series 1100 American lock. My actual lock used at work for lockout tag outs!
Are brinks trucks secured with these locks? Asking for a friend.
How does this Brinks compare to the Wal-Mart purchased Brinks model 162-51091?
My packaging for the 51091says "PROMAX Security", 4 pins, pick resistant, cut resistant to 9,300 pounds (also has the boron steel shackle), pry resistant to 4,000 pounds - it doesn't claim any security pins, though.
I bought one of these to try learning lockpicking. Mine is much tougher than yours. It has bitting of 6121. (I know this because they stamp the bitting code onto the keys.) I've gotten it a few times, but that 6 pin right up at the front of the cylinder makes it really tough. Also, the springs feel really weak, so it doesn't give much feedback.
I remember my friend handing me one of these Brinks padlocks to try. I surprised myself by opening it in less than a minute. I have a Brinks R70 disk lock that I pick as a fidget now.
You always have a great breakdown of what could make a lock better. Have you ever designed a lock or been consulted on lock development?
This one looks like a cheap Masterlock knock off. Wonder how it will stand up against the DWA or "Double Wrench Attack"...
I would say poorly but you never know. The lack of a ball berring locking mechanism tells me it would bust easily like most master locks.
LPL, i bought a brinks 162-4001 for the sole purpose of picking. It is much the same as this one. It has 4 pins. #2 is very deep. It is allegedly high security and "pick resistant". However i was able to rake it open in less than 5 minutes as an absolutrly unskilled novice picker. Disgustingly bad.
I've been learning how to pick using only a single paperclip, and this was the first lock I opened, got it open in about 1 minute (not counting the time it took to transform the paperclip.)
No additional one for tensioning?
My key wouldn't even open it and I had to zip it to get the last two pins to set with WAY more tension than I was comfortable with. After that the key started working fine. The only 4-pin lock I've gotten so far that's given me any trouble and I'm still trying to figure out why and how.
That was quick 😳 best lock lawyer ever
I just bought a similar one! At least I’m wasting 30seconds of a thief’s time by locking up nothing valuable 🤣
With some more playing around, I found out by placing a single hook pick in, as I said below, and simply pulling it open works even easier.
This guy goes to the lock section in walmart the same way i go to the hot sauce section.
The other Brinks with the ball bearing mechanism, can you please share the model of that one? Or maybe share the Amazon link to it so you can make a couple pennies, that would be the least I can do. :-)
Hey, a fellow mtb'er!
Everyone is trash talking cheap locks, but Ive seen this guy and others pick quite expensive locks easily. Anyone that knows how to lockpick will easily defeat most common padlocks. Lpl can pick locks like the squire ss100cs with two six pin cores in only 3 minutes. Most common locks from hardware stores can be picked in seconds. In my opinion, it doesnt make much sense to buy expensive locks that are only slightly harder to pick. The $30 masterlock from Lowe or similar isn't much better than this $5 Brinks. To each his own though.
Yesterday I saw a cable lock "secured" by a 4-digit combination padlock just hanging off a fence, and wondered if that was someone "saving their spot" or whether it had already had the bike stolen out of it. I was half-tempted to try and take it home with me, but the area was a little too busy for me to start trying to decode it without any tools - lesson learned, remember my tools more often!
Dear lock picking lawyer, thanks for inspiring me to pick this lock, I have had this lock for a year now! I hope you can check out my lock picking skills! Thank you very much for inspiring me for picking locks @LockPickingLawyer the lock was pretty easy to open!
Greetings lock picking lawyer. I come to you to say, i am stumped. I purchased some clear locks and learned the basics. With practive i've gotten better! I can open all the doors in my house and a the lock you show in this video. HOWEVER I'm stumped on this Master Lock Num.3 i've had it for years but i cant seem to get any consistence feedback from the pins. The key still works but even with the lightest tension possible the pins seem to grind through the shafts. I can't get it, do you have any tips?
P.S. I'm single pin picking.
The lock section at any store is his equivalent of the toy section.
Looking at the bottom I see a Masterlock keyway.....and what I usually use for that is one hard look. Voila, open sesame!
I have a brinks lock I bought about 15 years ago, I have picked it several times, but it isn't as easy as one like this.
I have a dozen large brinks padlocks like that. I am a novice picker, but I was able to easily pick them all. This type of locks only keep some people honest. With these locks, I almost feel why bother.
The last thing a lock manufacturer wants is "some attention" from the LPL.
Thanks for the video was sad to see you not gut the lock.
I'd also love for you to explain when to use counter rotation when picking
I did one recently also. And although mine had a better key bitting it was also pretty easy. Giant lock, baby core
I would be interested to see the Boxlock here. Ive only seen pictures but I wonder if it can be opened non destructively without a proper barcode
Like a moth to a flame? No, more like a wolf to a sheep or a hawk to a chicken 🤣
What padlock would you recommend under 50 dollars from your experience? All tool stores near me basically only sell Masters...
0034? four pin core with two zero's? They certainly thought about the end users safety with that code .
This is why I stick to Abus Padlocks, affordable deterrent for my stuff not worth breaking in for.
Looking at that key I'm kind of wondering if you could get in even faster with a comb pick?
Definetly not Wal-Mart's best locks. If you exclude their online store you're not seeing the whole picture. I used to be an automotive technician for them and sometimes we would use the computers to look up obscure stuff like enormous tires, ghillie suits, and coffins. Semantics, I know, but you'll find using the .com to be more interesting.
Braedon Olsen that’s because Wal-Mart allows other companies to sell their products online. If you go into the store you’ll see the difference between that and the online stores
@@CGPJames Well yeah, that's my point. The online store is a part of Wal-Mart. And go into a Wal-Mart and tell me, how many products in Wal-Mart are made by Wal-Mart? None. Not even their batteries or their "knock off brand" products. You're preaching to the choir, I'm an ex employee. When selling tires to customers, if they needed something not in stock I had two options: go to American Discount Tire and place an order, or refer them to "our" online store. Also Wal-Mart has a policy against price matching against itself or sister companies. If something was cheaper on the online store, I can't give you that price. If it's cheaper in a Wal-Mart store, I can't give you that price. cheaper at Sam's Club? Doesn't matter. And the quickest, cheapest oil change is actively bid for by competing oil companies. It used to be supertech, now it's penzoil.
My point here is regardless of brick and mortar or online, the store is always playing the same role between product and consumer.
The reason its cheaper online is because the item gets stocked with a guarantee you'll buy it, which is also why the selection is broader. Meanwhile the store itself keeps products with the risk no purchase will be made, which determines which Wal-Mart stores get stocked with what. You go to a store in Fresno versus a store in Milwaukee, the products are different. So my argument, which is still valid, is that the best locks are online.
I got the 40mm version. Was surprised to see security pins in a made in china lock. I went out of my way to choose one with some mean bitting not expecting it to give me this much trouble.
Literally learned lock picking yesterday and i dont even have quality picks. I got this picked in 5 minutes multiple times no where near his time but that should tell you something
the very first padlock I picked was a 5 dollar walmart clone of this lock. good memories!
I've never picked a lock before and I was just able to pick this one after watching your videos for a while. I'm guessing it's got spools on all of the drivers, if I overset any of the pins I have to reset and try again.
I got this to try out lockpicking and I've been struggling with it for like an hour. Guess I'll have to start out on a see through practice lock instead
took me an hour but I finally got it
I’m a newbie so I apologize for what may possibly be a stupid question but...what are the point in having security pins? You seem to just mention them in passing like they are really no different than regular pins and they definitely didn’t seem to slow you down either
I've personally found it easier to reach into the back of this lock and grab the locking mechanism. Opens in seconds, and if you can get one in the right spot it can literally be opened with a single paper clip. It's a garbage excuse for a lock. It doesn't matter how many security pins are in it, if it can be opened without having to set any of the pins.
Your videos made me try lockpicking myself in the past week. I have a masterlock and i have this lock. I can open the masterlock decently quick with Bobbypins, but this lock keeps throwing me off. Maybe I’m not putting enough time in practicing it, or I maybe just suck.
Most likely it's the tools your are using
They are in competition with master for crappiest lock!
Quickly made your way to the lock section... oh good im not the only nerd
Question, sir: You said pin #2 was high cut and wasn't touched so they were using short drivers. It looks like both pin 1 and 2 are cut the same, an apparent zero lift. So why did pin 1 have to be set and not 2? Also, I thought a zero lift pin had nothing to do with the length of the driver. The top of the key pin is cut so that it's already at the shear line regardless of the length of the driver. Can you help me understand what I've gotten wrong? Thanks!
I have something like that where it was made to look like a master lock, and the name has long since rubbed off so I dont know if it was a Brinks or not. But I do know that it's not hard to pick it at all. I hardly use it for anything except picking. :)
Once I get mine in to a false set I can't seem to get any feedback from any of the pins. Hmm. More practice required.
Ok can you or have you made a list of the locks that you recommend? I believe I will go through all of these videos at some point but I can’t wait that long to find the lock I need lol
Can you make (or link if you already have) make a video were you explain what you're doing inside the lock? I get what you mean with resistance and click but I don't understand "counter rotation".
Bosnian bill has a great beginners guide to all the terms and what tools you need.
Just watch more lock picking videos.
Watch this one from DALP - czcams.com/video/fANTFoQ92is/video.html
Great picking brother as always, thanks for sharing it with us
Grate video. thank you for the review. I have one of these locks for my bike. they say locks only keep out the honest people, and it is big and heavy and looks hard to cut. will you please do a video trying to cut it with bolt cutters thank you
Is that a hook 7? I like the bent pry bar. I’m guessing heat is required to bend? I tried and snapped one like a twig. I’m obviously very new at this. Thank you for the videos I’m in awe of your talent.
I love watching you, just unreal!
**looks at design**
Hey, it's a masterl... Wait, Brinks?
1:18 - "In any case"
But you didn't even pick it yet!
The 40mm brinks I got as my first lock I can legit stick my short hook halfway in and lift up near the first 2 pins and it opens. I can do it in like 2 seconds 😭
I don't know man they have some of those tsa-approved locks that'll probably give that Brinks lock a run for its money
