Okay, I now wonder which is more of a challenge: Masterlock's highest grade security lock, *OR* the security device that holds it on the shelf peg in the store so you can't shoplift it.
Most of those devices are easily defeated with a strong magnet, as that's how they're designed to be legally removed as well. If LPL wanted to crack a lock in a store, the hardest bit would be stabbing a hole through the plastic for the lockpick to follow.
I used to work for a company doing collections and refills for slot machines across my state, and we locked our vans with those Master 6271's-the ones he referred to as being one of the highest security locks Masterlock makes-which we called "puck locks" on account of their shape. We were told that the locks were practically impossible to cut open or drill off in any reasonable amount of time due to the way they latch at the back and sit flush with the van. In fact, I recall a couple of occasions where a lock had been left on for so long, or the key had been forgotten, that our techs had to use specialized drills to remove them. I guess they never accounted for this.
This really illustrates how durability/destructive resistance is far more important than pick resistance. The vast majority of criminals have no knowledge of lockpicking but do own a decent set of bolt cutters, a portable angle grinder, or a breaker bar.
Lockpicking requires knowledge. LPL goes fast because he knows which tool to use on which lock and how those locks work. Most thieves won't have such knowledge (and even most locksmiths...), thus the need for destructive tools. As always, knowledge is power and far stronger than most crude ways, but it is also the less shared tool.
These videos by LPL (and many others) could seriously change the game up though. If a thief is smart, they could use these videos as reference. Not saying that LPL is bad for uploading his videos, they're fantastic. I'm saying that relying on thieves not having such knowledge is a folly game that's going to rapidly deteriorate in the future if this general trend continues. It's up to actual locksmiths to give a shit about their product
well - from videos with disc detainer cores he often states that they require quite some skill and specialized tools not many pickers have by hand in the end when it comes down to mass things like a bike lock: it doesn't have to be fort knox - but it only has to provide a higher difficulty challenge than the simpler lock on the bike next to yours - unless your bike is the only one within how far you can see
The real question… is there a tool on that which can open the paper weight? Because honestly a tiny comedy bit-less key like that is a more exotic tool than the big standard lock pickers multi tool
A standard approach should work, it being bitless is a display of the device's weakness, since it doesn't even need its correct key, it means there's no pins or anything, just a cylinder and that you could probably open it with a couple paperclips much less any of the things a professional would bring to the job
I have a jewelry box with that kind of lock on it, just to keep it closed during travel, I lost the key and I used a bobby pin with the end bent like the key and it popped right open.
I don't care if he's features most of these locks before: it's entertaining as hell and a great reminder of how hilariously incompetent the mainstream lock industry can be.
I feel like 99% of the locks are just...to be there. You know, so that a random passerby just doesnt directly walk into. And after watching this guy... 95% of the locks out there can be picked with pretty much anything you can find in your pocket or on the ground, as long as you have some skill in lockpicking. So It's hard to imagine how I should defend my house... I can buy the most-anti-pick-lock out there but a guy that specializes in those locks just comes with some sort of specialized tool and its over. So I dont know. I guess there is no eternal safety in the world.
@@96dragonhunter Any type of security is meant to be a deterrent. Eventually, any and every method of securing things, be it physical or digital, will be cracked wide open. The difference is how many resources were required to do so.
@@96dragonhunter Security is inherently flawed, as we are not allowed to completely bar entrance. The point is to be able to get in, but only if you're *supposed* to be able to get in. So we just make it really *really* difficult to get in if you don't have the specialized tools (in this case, keys or picks or grinders). There is always a way in, by design. And so, every security system is effectively just a big puzzle. The best we can do is make the most complex, difficult puzzle possible and hope no one wants what's behind it bad enough to bother solving it.

@@roland268 not many people carry around branded lockpicks either. fact is, a master thief who is skilled at picking can open any lock with enough practice, but unless your goods are coveted enough to attract career criminals, it's not a problem. that's why modern locks prioritize physical resistance; protecting against your basic mooks with crowbars and rocks
Me: *sees the tons of locks on the screen* Me: "Huh, that's pretty bad" *realizes there's only 2 minutes left in the video, and not a single lock has been picked* Oh god, that's really bad.

Reminds me of high school in the late 80s where my friends and I could open most of our classmates locker padlocks using only the key from those crappy silver suitcase padlocks. Eventually we had a collection of 10 or so skeleton keys from various crappy padlocks. Came in handy when friends forgot their keys or locked them in the locker. Watching these videos makes me think that these skeleton keys were acting as a comb pick.
In the next video he should open two locks at the same time by knocking them against each other (there are some locks, that can be opened with a mallet, so it should be technically possible) - just to beat today's time, lol.
for real someone who dont know what that is will probably not even try and just move on or cut it while you see a master lock and you can just open it whit your spare key
@@alvonnedagama6751 "deterrent" are means used so that possible attackers don't even try, hence the use of the word "deter". For example, security cameras are deterrents. They do nothing to stop the attack, just convince the attacker not to do it.
Imagine spending large amounts of money to fund an R&D department and to keep Locksmiths / Engineers on staff only to produce locks that can be opened by a comb-pick.
They buy cheaply made and poorly designed generic locks made in China with their logo's and names all over them and that is why a lock is merely a deterrent
This is such a good advertisement for that multi tool that I immediately went to your website, despite previously not having much interest in lockpicking.
The covert companion doesn’t have a tool to pick the paperweight, therefore, I’m using it on all my locks from now on. Clearly, it’s the superior option.
Worst part is that using a comb looks like using a key from afar. So people won't even notice as a stranger breaks into your home. They'll think that the burglar is the owner.
Same thing with using a TSA approved lock on your locker at the gym. Anyone could just use a readily available TSA key to get it, and it won't look at all suspicious. He covered a video about that iirc.
My father who'se been a locksmith since the 90s still has those old school locks for ages. According to him its the only lock he can trust nowadays which i find hilarious
Honestly, I was hoping at the end LPL would say that there was no specific tool on the locking picking set that would be suitable to open the mechanism on the paperweight.
Kinda. This channel makes locks seem completely pointless, but remember that everybody knows how to open a door, but by comparison barely anybody knows how to pick even the crappiest of locks!
Imagine you lock yourself out your car, you call a lockpicker to get back inside and you hear "this is the lockpicking lawyer" I would feel safer than I ever have in my entire life.
I bought a $35 lock picking training kit on Amazon. After about 1hr I could pick the 4 locks in under 1 minute. I found like a $30 masterlock I lost the key to and picked it just as easy as the other 4.
It's a convenience feature. Instead of bothering to carry around a separate key for every padlock you own, you can just carry around one comb pick that opens everything.
Yeah, people seem to forget this. I remember one time my boss accidently locked us all out of the warehouse with the keys inside at the end of the day, but I quickly plucked a hair and the Masterlock was open in just a few seconds. Such a brilliant feature sure saved us a lot of bother
Deterring, or just slowing down thieves. 45 years ago a locksmith convinced me that there were few locks that couldn’t be picked, and none that could stand up to a grinder. My motorcycle sat outside at work 8 hours a day, and although it was just a few feet from the guard shack, I felt I needed something more than the steering head lock, a disc break lock, and a hardened chain with a big Unican lock wrapped around a post. I went to Radio Shack and bought a mercury switch, a double pole-double throw switch, and an SCR (silicon controlled rectifier). My homemade motion sensor was wired to the battery and a small horn tucked up under the gas tank. If the bike was moved off the side stand, the mercury switch fed power through the SCR to the horn, and the SCR made the horn blow until I shut it off. (No automatic reset - better to have a drained battery than no bike.) Although there was never an attempt to steal it at work, one night somebody broke into my shed and either tried to move the motorcycle or just bumped into it while trying to steal my mower or some tools. Those simple alarm parts cost me all of $6 at Radio Shack in 1975. I never told anyone about it, or showed anyone how to make one. You never know if your coworker or riding buddy is a motorcycle thief when no one is looking. After the break-in, I rigged one to the shed door too; thankfully it was never needed. Locks, traps, surprises, big dogs… You only need enough to make the thieves go somewhere else.
I have a sign on the front door of my house that says "No trespassing, violators will be shot, survivors will be shot again." Best anti-theft device I've ever had.
@@therandomdickhead5744 you’re probably safer just leaving the door open if LPL is doing the picking. Most locks are really meant to keep honest folk out of your stuff, anyway. If someone wants your stuff, they usually find a way, if they want to put in effort.
@@roboknight While i somewhat agree, non-destructive entry methods should be massively deterred, if not almost unfeasible, when buying any physical security device. Something that can be picked is a LOT harder to get away with covertly than something that can be COMB picked. COMB picking is just turning a key. Actual picking is messing around with the lock to the point where bystanders WILL notice you.

@@jonahwillliams5959 If he was telling lies it would indeed be slander however every thing LPL says about master lock is demonstrably TRUE with video evidence backing it u
@@jonahwillliams5959 Yes, but 'defamation' is the general term. LPL uses "Master Lock" in his video titles and descriptions too, so there is probably SOME amount that could be accused of being libel.
I love it - and Mr LPL - i also saw your talk infront of the IT Secruity... Pleople - you know what i mean. I really liked the long format, the rich information and some quality LPL time. Please do more long format videos, we WILL watch it. Thanks!
I straight up laughed out loud when he said "it's one of the highest security locks that MasterLock makes" and then barely touched it and opened it like he was pulling toast out of a toaster.
I love how’re you’re so casually and calmly talking as if in a neighbourhood chat, meanwhile, almost as if unintentionally, opening almost a dozen locks in seconds.
we need to start rating locks by LPL's ability to pick them, one star for every minute it takes for him to pick them. I'd absolutely buy a lock that says "LPL took 5 minutes to pick this" that tells me it's good security
Maybe 5/30/60/240/600 seconds, him taking 1 minute to open something is probably good enough to defeat all casual thieves and make them break thru something else.
LockpickingLawyer is an absolute beast...... I just wonder what kinda offers this guys gotten to work for companies haha. Literally noone better. Skys the limit at that point haha. I am just so glad he chooses to make content for us :D
And to think that hes actualy making these video's to show us what a bad job those companies do. He was frustrated with the state of the products, that he begane to share them online hoping some companies would get the hint and start making better products. So far... none seem to have taking it seriusly (correct me if im wrong, ive gotten this from the Presentation he has done in Vegas)
@@dominiquerettob7250 I mean yeah the problem is at the end of the day, locks for the most part as just themselves, keep the honest person out right. If someone wants into a lock, they will get into it (we are talking a lock by itself, noone around and you can do anything to get it open/broken etc- it keeps the honest guy out. So i think these companies just dont put the R&D into it like they should on majority of consumer locks. I mean, I am sure there is "the baddest of the bad" lock for some of the major brands out there, and those would be (if they exist) unreasonably priced for the average consumer but hopefully do a better job that LPL is sufficient with- he'd have to chime in here. But yeah, I think the problem is just that above.. if ALL lock brands agreed ok lets up the security guys, and therefore its all companies doing it * cough * federal regulations kick in, then we might see some better security, because 1 company isnt gunna go throw $$ into R&D and have to charge more for their locks when the next company isnt gunna do that, and keep their locks cheap, and yeah lots of lost revenue.... think LPL needs to keep hitting the nail on the head at federal level to make some changes happen. And heck man even if they do, LPL has gotten so good at what he does, you'd have the best lock security on site monitoring and the moment the guard looks away from cctv monitors to lean down and grab his lunch, LPL would have jumped in, and picked the lock anyway ahha.

I noticed that too. That was almost as savage as the title of the video.

@@ahmedabdo13 Which are, say it with me... _under 5 seconds_
@@CaTastrophy427 It's also true if you would say *under one hour*.
It's sad to see that most modern "high-security" locks offer only slightly more protection than a paperweight... from the 80's.
Look at it this way...the modern lock looks heavier and would serve as more effective projectile...
Less* who whold have an key from 30 years ago just with them?
Most of us have probably heard someone say locks are only good to keep honest people out and LPL really drives that point home with every video.
@@roland268 not many people carry around branded lockpicks either. fact is, a master thief who is skilled at picking can open any lock with enough practice, but unless your goods are coveted enough to attract career criminals, it's not a problem. that's why modern locks prioritize physical resistance; protecting against your basic mooks with crowbars and rocks
The fact that it took longer to get the tool out of its swivel than it did to actually open the locks is just laughable
Yeah which means his channel is never getting sponsored by Master Lock for the same reason that Jimmy here will never be sponsored by KFC
I am starting to think knowing "what the correct tool to use is" is the hardest part of picking a lock.
It’s the hardest part of any job.
@@coldnapalmFJ OWO
It still took him less time with the tool than it would most of us with a key.
I think the paper weight is the most secure lock on the table. It's the only one not picked by his Covert Companion.
TBF the "Travelers Hook" tool on the companion would probably open it.
Sir, you indeed have a valid point! :-)
Oh shit you're right.
@@alphabit26 you might even be able to do it with just a turning tool/ Z-bar.
It looks like LPL don't like lever tumbler locks. In total of 1423 episodes only few of them are of this type.
"It's one of the highest security locks that MasterLock makes"
*opens it in two literal seconds with the lowest-skill attack possible*
Savagely plugging his covert companion while simultaneously demonstrating how bad 99% of locks are.
Absolutely perfect.
No joke, that beefy Master Lock does offer high level of security for your stack of papers, even in a windy situation.
That's true. But the wind would probably blow the shackle open
Me: *sees the tons of locks on the screen*
Me: "Huh, that's pretty bad"
*realizes there's only 2 minutes left in the video, and not a single lock has been picked*
Oh god, that's really bad.
I did the same time check 😂
Yuuuup
And not one lock was picked in the whole video. Just all bypassed because they're trash.
And this is why you get bolts instead of locks XD. Much harder to break in without creating loud noises
Exactly my thoughts.
The confidence this man has in his picking skills to just keep the actual keys LOCKED to the lock is insane!!!
You can remove the key from the keyring ;)
@@presshun fair nuff aha tho im sure itd be quicker for lpl to wave rig the lock then actually pull the key off manually 😂😂😂
@@Roooooooooooooooobb 😂 No doubt about that!
I hadn’t noticed! Good point!👍
I think the worst offender is how secure the names and shapes of the locks made me feel vs how easily they could be bypassed by the simplest tools.

LPL: pops locks with combs
Wave rake: ahh, a nice day off.
Less attacking, more snacking
The fact that he didn't even need the wave rake or tension bar is really telling!
I was saying "wave rake, wave rake, wave rake" before he started to used the combs 🤣
@@EduardoEscarez yeah.. sometimes it is worse than expected.
LPL: "One of the highest security models Master Lock makes"
Also LPL: * opens in like 2 seconds *
What a roast XD
OMG! So FUNNY!!!!
i nearly chocked in my morning coffee in how fast that "high" security lock got opened
That was the high point for me. LPL is utterly ruthless with his burns.
I was watching this and just kept repeating "Oh lord LPL, why you got to do them so dirty?"
2:16 "It's one of the highest security locks that MasterLock makes"
*literally got combed*
I love the fact that he has the keys for each of these locks attached to the bar so they're completely unable to be used unless you pick them.
Unless he decides to remove the key from the key ring…
Memorizing which attachment on LPL's All-In-One Tool would open which lock was probably the hardest part of this video.
😲 oh for lpl not you, well that's probably true lol since they seem very familiar with how to open the locks once they have the right tool
I think he really just knows all the mechanisms and locks that well
Size has something to do with it for most; the exceptions are memorable.
Like any professional with enough time you learn it back and forth. I actually used that exact tool to help my friend get her keys out of her car. Excellent tool
Or trial and error :P
this affords you a great opportunity here LPL....you can rate locks by their "Jared Paperweight Security Level"
NO! NO! NO! Many people say I am sick in the head. NOOOO!!!! I don't believe them. But there are so many people commenting this stuff on my videos, that I have 1% doubt. So I have to ask you right now: Do you think I am sick in the head? Thanks for helping, my dear hy
I wish the LPL would implement some kind of ranking or add newly tested locks to a tier list at the end.
New lowest SI standard of measurement on security devices.
@@AxxLAfriku damn you need attention.. wtf
New channel name: Paperweight Picking Lawyer.
I don't know why but the sequence of opening bunches of locks is just hilarious. Love the LPL.
Reminds me of high school in the late 80s where my friends and I could open most of our classmates locker padlocks using only the key from those crappy silver suitcase padlocks. Eventually we had a collection of 10 or so skeleton keys from various crappy padlocks. Came in handy when friends forgot their keys or locked them in the locker. Watching these videos makes me think that these skeleton keys were acting as a comb pick.
or just really poor tolerances. it would be interesting to see if you had any of those left over though
I sure wasn't expecting a lock rush speedrun today.
Nobody expects a lock rush speedrun :-)
any% speedrun [glitchless]
In the next video he should open two locks at the same time by knocking them against each other (there are some locks, that can be opened with a mallet, so it should be technically possible) - just to beat today's time, lol.
Actually, that paper weight, being less known than the other brands, I think would be a better deterrent for less trained/knowledgeable attackers.
Now I'm remembering we didn't know where the key to the floppy disk lock box was so we just grabbed a paperclip to turn it. It worked.
for real someone who dont know what that is will probably not even try and just move on or cut it while you see a master lock and you can just open it whit your spare key
Good point
Damn, good point but not really. He said it doesn't need a proper key to open, so a thief's first guess is prolly the right one lol
@@alvonnedagama6751 "deterrent" are means used so that possible attackers don't even try, hence the use of the word "deter". For example, security cameras are deterrents. They do nothing to stop the attack, just convince the attacker not to do it.
Imagine spending large amounts of money to fund an R&D department and to keep Locksmiths / Engineers on staff only to produce locks that can be opened by a comb-pick.
Your sentence gives the answer: they don't fund R&D, thus the shamefull display of security.
They buy cheaply made and poorly designed generic locks made in China with their logo's and names all over them and that is why a lock is merely a deterrent
This is such a good advertisement for that multi tool that I immediately went to your website, despite previously not having much interest in lockpicking.
"One of the highest security locks (CLICK) master lock makes"
Takes longer to say the sentence than to open the lock.
The covert companion doesn’t have a tool to pick the paperweight, therefore, I’m using it on all my locks from now on. Clearly, it’s the superior option.
I'm sure it does though
The lever-style mechanism sure can be off-putting for those who have only been exposed to pin tumbler designs.
im pretty sure, you could get it open with the traveler hook
🤣🤣🤣
@@joenu125 Yup
Worst part is that using a comb looks like using a key from afar. So people won't even notice as a stranger breaks into your home. They'll think that the burglar is the owner.
Same thing with using a TSA approved lock on your locker at the gym. Anyone could just use a readily available TSA key to get it, and it won't look at all suspicious. He covered a video about that iirc.
"...it's one of the highest security that Musterlock **click** makes."
Nope, not even one sentence.
10 locks, 90 seconds. That includes the time he spent switching out tools. Just another Master Lock Monday. 🎶
Thanks for the Bangles flashback! 🤪
Exactly the count I came up with. Lol.. I posted above and then started reading comments. You were first so I gave a thumbs up. :)
Takes longer to fold the tools out from the companion than it does to unlock 🤣😭
Without raking or a tension bar even!
I am in total awe of not only LPL’s depth of lock knowledge and his deft touch but his wicked sense of humor.
Watch his April fools videos
At this point he's just mocking the companies :D
But can the covert companion open the paperweight-lock?
Casually brutal.
Cocky Lawyer sense of humor. Coupled with mastery of his craft. I would definitely hire him as my lawyer. In any case.
can we take a moment to appreciate that he does keep the keys of those locks, locked on them ? 😂
Im a electrician and watching you has really made me want to learn your art... it's all about the feel
funny how having to twist the paperweight key a full circle took you longer than picking “one of the highest security lock master lock makes”
Yes,that was the joke
Thank you for explaining that, he didn’t really go into much detail as to why the paperweight was better.
That moment when you realise all those lock picking scenes from movies are actually realistic.
Yeah I used to think you needed to use both hands, one for holding the torque. Nope, combs work just as well usually!
Well, tooth picks, paper clips, and bobby pins, would probably take longer/ not really do the job as well.
The moment you realize most of them are slowed down for drama.
Unarmed combat is usually slowed down too.
@@treeguyable unless its a master lock. Just pointing a tootpick at a master lock wil open it.
I liked the part where he said "it's unlocking time" and proceeded to unlock all over the place. Truly one of the lockpicking moments of all time.
Sixty nine thumbs
One year later.
My father who'se been a locksmith since the 90s still has those old school locks for ages. According to him its the only lock he can trust nowadays which i find hilarious
Looks like it would be legally more reasonable to just call them baby-proof carabiners.
Let me guess: you don't have any babies around? Baby proofing requires more of an effort.
I expect that with how easy it is to open some of these locks, the legal team may recommend "baby-resistant"
Now they are gonna have to stamp, not for climbing on the master lock shackles.
@@jakubkopec9313 Well to be fair, there are worse things considered babyproof, which don't require any tools. :-D
LPL's baby: Googoo gaga, click out of 4.
Considering these are basically the same security level, I'd use the paperweight for the vintage look alone.
Honestly, I was hoping at the end LPL would say that there was no specific tool on the locking picking set that would be suitable to open the mechanism on the paperweight.
Hell, the vintage look might be a security feature on its own, since a potential picker will look at it in confusion
@@maxwyght1840 Yes, can't be raked.
And the paperweight looks a lot cooler
@@NoName-ik2du The bypass driver could probably do the trick. It's about the same shape as the key.
This video just tells me that the locks we use are for psychological security, because they definitely don’t work for actual security…
Yeah, except the more I watch these videos-and see LPL open locks that _I_ own-the less psychologically secure I feel!!😆😆😆
Kinda. This channel makes locks seem completely pointless, but remember that everybody knows how to open a door, but by comparison barely anybody knows how to pick even the crappiest of locks!

Imagine you lock yourself out your car, you call a lockpicker to get back inside and you hear "this is the lockpicking lawyer" I would feel safer than I ever have in my entire life.
I bought a $35 lock picking training kit on Amazon. After about 1hr I could pick the 4 locks in under 1 minute. I found like a $30 masterlock I lost the key to and picked it just as easy as the other 4.
It's a convenience feature. Instead of bothering to carry around a separate key for every padlock you own, you can just carry around one comb pick that opens everything.
Yeah, people seem to forget this. I remember one time my boss accidently locked us all out of the warehouse with the keys inside at the end of the day, but I quickly plucked a hair and the Masterlock was open in just a few seconds. Such a brilliant feature sure saved us a lot of bother
@@Ulekius
You used a hair to open it?
What was the lock rating on that one that it required a hair to open instead of just a stern look?
@@stylesrj the lock rating was "Masterlock" 😂
@@Firecul
Yeah but even a security rating of 10 would unlock if you breathed nearby to it...
it's a feature, not a bug
Attention Masterlock Designers: There’s a future for YOU in the paperweight business!!
Too much competition
Not even that...The paperweight has more security than the highest security Masterlock.
I don’t know. Some of those Masterlocks look pretty light.
It's sad that the thing that took the most time for picking all of the locks was LPL trying to find the correct pick on his lock picking tool.
You did that faster than I had all the keys to pick from.
I honestly think you opened all of those locks quicker than I can get my key in the door after a few beers.
He opened em quicker than I get my key in sober 🤣
I'm so dumb that he can get them open than I can without having ever drinking alcohol
Probably faster they i can even get my keys out of my pockets
TIL locks are merely to keep drunk people out of their own flats
@@realberserkpanda gettin your keys out of your pocket and he just opens the door first
Deterring, or just slowing down thieves. 45 years ago a locksmith convinced me that there were few locks that couldn’t be picked, and none that could stand up to a grinder. My motorcycle sat outside at work 8 hours a day, and although it was just a few feet from the guard shack, I felt I needed something more than the steering head lock, a disc break lock, and a hardened chain with a big Unican lock wrapped around a post.
I went to Radio Shack and bought a mercury switch, a double pole-double throw switch, and an SCR (silicon controlled rectifier). My homemade motion sensor was wired to the battery and a small horn tucked up under the gas tank. If the bike was moved off the side stand, the mercury switch fed power through the SCR to the horn, and the SCR made the horn blow until I shut it off. (No automatic reset - better to have a drained battery than no bike.)
Although there was never an attempt to steal it at work, one night somebody broke into my shed and either tried to move the motorcycle or just bumped into it while trying to steal my mower or some tools. Those simple alarm parts cost me all of $6 at Radio Shack in 1975. I never told anyone about it, or showed anyone how to make one. You never know if your coworker or riding buddy is a motorcycle thief when no one is looking.
After the break-in, I rigged one to the shed door too; thankfully it was never needed. Locks, traps, surprises, big dogs… You only need enough to make the thieves go somewhere else.
I have a sign on the front door of my house that says "No trespassing, violators will be shot, survivors will be shot again." Best anti-theft device I've ever had.
Oo. is radio shack like a store or something?
@@sinpi314 o.o
Nice!
I’ve been designing something similar for my car. It won’t cost more than $20 in parts and will be superior to car alarms sold for hundreds.
@@Wolf_K I have $2 kill switch that is pretty effective. :-)

The fact that comb-picks are still effective shows how appalling the state of modern physical security is.
I used one of those locks, and my dad uses the one picked with the 6 comb pick.
I thought locks were supposed to be secure, oof
@@therandomdickhead5744 you’re probably safer just leaving the door open if LPL is doing the picking. Most locks are really meant to keep honest folk out of your stuff, anyway. If someone wants your stuff, they usually find a way, if they want to put in effort.
In the end locks are for honest people just in case opporturnity turns them into thieves.
@@roboknight While i somewhat agree, non-destructive entry methods should be massively deterred, if not almost unfeasible, when buying any physical security device.
Something that can be picked is a LOT harder to get away with covertly than something that can be COMB picked.
COMB picking is just turning a key.
Actual picking is messing around with the lock to the point where bystanders WILL notice you.
It’s not like everyone is getting lock picked everyday.
He gunned down a line of locks without mercy. He's less like a lawyer and more like a mob boss!
He gave all the locks the death sentence

@@jonahwillliams5959 Yes, but 'defamation' is the general term. LPL uses "Master Lock" in his video titles and descriptions too, so there is probably SOME amount that could be accused of being libel.

The comment of "this is one of the highest security locks masterlock makes" as it opens in literally less than a second had me rolling XD
Maybe against bruteforce, but LPL will tweak the key core himself to trap any nasty that dare to burglar his house.
“Hand me a paper weight.”
“Here.”
“I said a paper weight, not a lock!”
“Well what do you think Master Lock makes?”
Lol
*öof*
in an alternate time line
"hand me a lock"
"um"
"whats wrong where is the lock?"
"all we have are paper weights"
Honestly, the most entertaining infomercial ever made!!!
I love it - and Mr LPL - i also saw your talk infront of the IT Secruity... Pleople - you know what i mean. I really liked the long format, the rich information and some quality LPL time. Please do more long format videos, we WILL watch it. Thanks!
When he dropped all the locks down, the length of the video suddenly became a plot point.
Me: 3 and a half minutes? Must be a decent enough, low security lock
LPL: *opens 9 locks and a paperweight*
Me:...
He was even unable to use picking tools to unlock the paperweight. As he stated, that key was *the only* key for it.
This is still one of my favorite commercials. I really want a covert companion.
This is one of LPL’s most brutal videos yet!
I loved it!
"One of the highest security locks that Master Lock makes" Then opens it immediately.🤣
He literally opened it faster than my brain processed the statement.
He opened the lock even before the sentence finished.
That master lock ma... *Click*
I straight up laughed out loud when he said "it's one of the highest security locks that MasterLock makes" and then barely touched it and opened it like he was pulling toast out of a toaster.
Except he didn't have to say "ouch, hot!" :P
I love how’re you’re so casually and calmly talking as if in a neighbourhood chat, meanwhile, almost as if unintentionally, opening almost a dozen locks in seconds.
This man could open anything with a lock! Its amazing how quick he can do it.
Maybe modern Masterlock can hold papers better than paperweight from 80’s.
LPL: OK guys bring out the fans.
If rubberized, then the answer would be true.
we need to start rating locks by LPL's ability to pick them, one star for every minute it takes for him to pick them.
I'd absolutely buy a lock that says "LPL took 5 minutes to pick this" that tells me it's good security
I don't think 5 min ever happened
@@ReaperCH90 that's my point, when a lock comes out that does take that long I'll buy it
Maybe 5/30/60/240/600 seconds, him taking 1 minute to open something is probably good enough to defeat all casual thieves and make them break thru something else.
Meh, look for locks that get his "hmmm" rating, or where his pre-formed sentences come out jumbled.
I don’t know if there are any that apply, but I think there are at least a couple of 3-Star locks out there.
LockpickingLawyer is an absolute beast...... I just wonder what kinda offers this guys gotten to work for companies haha. Literally noone better. Skys the limit at that point haha. I am just so glad he chooses to make content for us :D
And to think that hes actualy making these video's to show us what a bad job those companies do. He was frustrated with the state of the products, that he begane to share them online hoping some companies would get the hint and start making better products. So far... none seem to have taking it seriusly (correct me if im wrong, ive gotten this from the Presentation he has done in Vegas)
@@dominiquerettob7250 I mean yeah the problem is at the end of the day, locks for the most part as just themselves, keep the honest person out right. If someone wants into a lock, they will get into it (we are talking a lock by itself, noone around and you can do anything to get it open/broken etc- it keeps the honest guy out. So i think these companies just dont put the R&D into it like they should on majority of consumer locks. I mean, I am sure there is "the baddest of the bad" lock for some of the major brands out there, and those would be (if they exist) unreasonably priced for the average consumer but hopefully do a better job that LPL is sufficient with- he'd have to chime in here. But yeah, I think the problem is just that above.. if ALL lock brands agreed ok lets up the security guys, and therefore its all companies doing it * cough * federal regulations kick in, then we might see some better security, because 1 company isnt gunna go throw $$ into R&D and have to charge more for their locks when the next company isnt gunna do that, and keep their locks cheap, and yeah lots of lost revenue.... think LPL needs to keep hitting the nail on the head at federal level to make some changes happen.
And heck man even if they do, LPL has gotten so good at what he does, you'd have the best lock security on site monitoring and the moment the guard looks away from cctv monitors to lean down and grab his lunch, LPL would have jumped in, and picked the lock anyway ahha.
I don't think I've laughed at a video this hard in a while... thank you so much for the great laugh to lift my day.
