I feel like some context might actually help here - I've been living in Taiwan for about 8 years and have encountered locks similar to this. They tend to be on either older buildings, or buildings that don't have a security guard at the front. The set up has two doors, a steel outer door a more traditional wooden inner door. (I have encountered set up where the inner door isn't locked, but have also seen set ups where the inner door is.) I honestly think that the set up is partially just to make lock picking too time consuming/aggravating/noisy and attention grabbing to make worthwhile. It's anecdotal, but I think they succeed in that. In all my time living here I've never heard of a lock to a door being picked - but I know of two break-ins based on a thief finding a small, tucked in alleyway, scaling the sides of a building and sawing through the steel window bars that are on most older buildings. TLDR: The context a lock is in can make it more/ less effective than the locking mechanism itself might be.
This is so relatable. I am from Taiwan. When I was a kid, the lock of my home needed to be turned 2 times to unlock, which was considered as safe since other locks only needed to be turned one time. When I grew a bit older, my parents replaced the lock with a new one that needed to be turned 3 times to open the door, and I was thinking, "Damn. This is some high-tech stuff," at the moment. Now I see a lock from Taiwan that need to be turn 4 times here. I feel that I'm truly living in the future right now. Lol
Maybe in the future, we'll see Taiwanese locks needing to turn 9 times. We might need a key that automatically turns 9 rounds. If they turn 10 times, the lock is reset.
The core idea isn't bad, actually. I mean, this lock acknowledges that it's all but impossible to design an unpickable lock, so rather than waste energy trying to do the impossible, they focused on making it take longer to pick. It makes sense: the longer a criminal is standing in front of your door fiddling with your lock, the more suspicious they look and the more likely they're going to get caught. That said, it wouldn't have killed them to throw a few security pins in there.
@@Tantalus010 true, one random security pin would have quadrupled the amount of time to open it as raking would be more inconsistent. This could be made into a pretty secure lock.
@@lastdonuts yeah he got as far as If it can be picked heres how it might be done. Then he got it like half picked. It made me want one. My apartments said no. Its like a 130$ lock. 80$ replacement keys
When I saw the length of the video and he was already half way in with his explaination, I thought about writing a smartass comment that he should "do it again, to show it isn't a fluke". But the procedure that followed certainly qualifies.
What? He said the lock requires being picked 4 times to open the door, then proceeded to pick it 4 times, the 4th resulting in the latch opening. Either you and your 200 likers didn't watch the video or I misunderstand your comment.
Indeed. Security pins would have made the lock much better (even if LPL would have picked in just 20-30s more), but I still find it a decent lock. Was very disappoint when all he used was rakes, though.
This is perfect for when you live with others! They undo the turn thing inside when you’re getting home so you can come in and it keeps everyone else out. This is genius! It’d also be easier in a still safe way for people like me who struggle with standard locks as I always put the key in backwards and have trouble unlocking it and pulling the key out..or just elderly people or people with arthritis.
What stood out to me is that a basic thief who doesn't know the details of how the lock works would probably be discouraged even after the first time he succeeded in picking it and turning it and it would feel just as stuck as before.
As other Taiwanese said in the comment, yes, this kind of lock is quite common in here. The keyway might be special, but the latch-locking knob is literally everywhere. I used to lock my home like this everyday before I went to the college. The Dual Cylinder Disc Brake Lock in 552 is also from Taiwan, BTW.
I was just wondering if he couldn't retrofit it to be a really tough lock. Still pickable, but imagine if instead of raking, you had to set each pin 4 times.
@@brianflowers4217 Well... that opens up another idea. We know China doesn't much care for copyright laws (yes, i know this is not a chinese lock). Would it be a valid business idea to acquire cheap chinese locks and retrofit them with better pinning and sell it at a profit? Probably not, though, cause large scale producers can do it better and cheaper than you.

I have watched nearly all of your lock picking videos and I don’t think there was ever a time that I thought you were going to fail at picking a lot I feel like your confidence plays a lot into your success.
While the lock itself isn't particularly special, the mechanism that prevents the lock from being unlocked seems like a no-brainer that should be present on all door locks
Always remember that looking like a pain in the ass to deal with is just as effective as being an actual pain in the ass to deal with. This lock does both. You have to have the time and no one noticing you picking that lock. It's an easy pick, but time is no on your side if you don't want to be seen.
@@leprechaunne It's not like you need to do anything particularly special to make security pins work. The pins are already 'symmetrical', it wouldn't alter much to replace 2-4 with some spools and/or T pins.
I live in Taiwan. It often strikes me that even though it is an ultra low-crime society, all the apartments and houses are locked up to look like fortresses: multiple doors, several deadbolts, curtain walls with broken glass and razor wire on top, metal cages over windows. I guess there was a lot of crime in the decades past when most of the buildings were built.
I live in Taiwan. The time you spend trying to pick this lock, you'll be recorded in all the CCTVs in the streets and apartments. Even if you do pick the lock, which is normally the first door, you'll still have to pick the second door lock. Even if you do pick the second lock, there are still chains or a padded lock that cannot be picked from the outside. Anyways, also, since the crime rate is really low here, we don't really need sophisticated locks unless you're a high value target. Even if you're a high value target, you'll have to bypass gate security and among other factors. We don't really need tough locks because its quite peaceful here anyways. Thieves rarely get away with breaking and entering these days.
This video only shows that the weird lock CAN still be picked in technical and no one's said living in Taiwan is unsafe. You needn't explain that much.

As a former drunk who got locked out of my home.. i spent 3 hours trying to insert the key into the hole. By then i have sobered up and just slept on the floor after closing the door behind me. NEVER AGAIN
@@x54xHantamachine i got so drunk once i couldn't open the door because i didn't find the handle in the dark because the handle was on the left and i was looking for it on the right. i fell asleep leaning against the door and fell into the room when my buddy opened it from the other side, scared the shit out of him.
I was pretty drunk once and tried getting into my neighbour's apartment. Very embarrassing when he opened up at 4 in the morning and asked "what the fuck"
Most homes in Taiwan have these locks installed on their outward facing metal gate / door, before another regular door has to be opened. My mum literally has to lock this lock on the gate followed by two or three other combinations of locks on a regular door inside before we close our doors. It's probably still pickable but it gives my mum peace of mind to hope the annoying amount of locks will thwart any burglar attempts at least while we're inside. As another comment has also stated, there's another kind of lock commonly found in Taiwan where the key has to be extended (伸縮鎖匙) out before being used to unlock. I was always warned not to misplace them since supposedly it's hard to make a copy and expensive to do so. Not sure if LPL will be able to get his hands on one to try.
I'm in Taiwan now and I have the extendable/collapsible key. The original keys are relatively expensive at about $15, but you can get fixed replacement keys for about $3, they are just kind of long. Just as easy to copy as any other key, it's just that the tumbler is very deep, thereby making it harder to reach, but the lock itself is very easy to pick other than the length.
I'm imagining the older teenager coming home late at night, past curfew, and nervously rotating the key in the lock. One rotation...two rotations...three rotations...and then it stops. So close to sneaking in to the house without waking up the parents.
Honestly though, even though you were able to pick it without much effort, it took a good amount of time more than most locks you've shown takes you, and much noisier too. That's really the design philosophy of the modern lock, not to be an impenetrable perfect barrier, but to be slow and noisy to break into, just inconvenient enough to spook the picker off or get them caught.
Or just anything to prevent the rake, really. Like this is probably enough to scare off most novices, but then you add some security pins and that’s probably more than enough for the average person.
Yeah - that's one of those: "Let's pick a different lock" locks. Because it takes some time and might be locked with a switch either way, so you just go to other doors that have a different lock. Nothing special, but you can see the logic. I wonder how good it would be with proper security pins and tolerances?
Yeah, it's like any odd looking lock, it's a whole risk thing because why pick this lock that could screw them over or be extremely difficult when they could pick the next houses regular lock

If you're able to rake it open that easy, there must be a lot of play between the pins and cylinder. Intimidating? Yes, but the security level is low. Great video!
@@pubcollize In many(though not all) places, getting them to bust out a relatively loud drill is the same as getting them to go away. Especially for a home lock.
When i first learnt how to pick locks i was amazed that when i moved on from the see through locks, just wiggling the thing around worked better than more careful movements
I mean the locksmith did't say it's hard to pick, he said it's intimidating. In a controlled environment - sure, a picker will figure it out. But if someone is trying to get in at night he'll see a strange looking lock and go to the next house over. Even if not, having to pick an uncommon type of lock four times will slow them down quite a bit compared to common locks.
@@artstrutzenberg7197 trust me, Taiwanese using this kind of lock don't have yards, only places with security here might. There's really not much space here XD
This actually seems relatively safe, I doubt anyone trying to break quick into your home is gonna pick it 4 times, and the little latch is rather safe too!
I think this is still good in the sense that it takes much longer to pick. If you set this up in an office or industrial building on a good solid door, where they have cameras monitored by security personnel, an alarm could be raised before the picker even finishes his work. It might even be worth having on your house door as most burglaries happen during the day and a burglar won't want to sit in front of your door picking away for too long in broad daylight in case they're seen.
To be fair, even with rakes it takes a decent amount of time to open and I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't even realize it needs to be picked several times to open. Really the lock's security comes from the length of time needed to pick it four times, even knowing you have to pick it multiple times, and the fact it in general looks like a weird hard lock.

Lets be real. This lock is security level 11. It tooks LPL a minute to fully unlock it. That is RARE. 🤣
And this was done WITHOUT security pins. Just imagine how uncrackable this would be if it had spools and/or seraded pins, to say nothing of special pins.

For over a minute
Remember: Your lock doesn’t have to be unpickable, it just needs to not be pickable by a drunk who sees quadruple.
the real benefit to this lock is that it gives you time to find a lego to pick open your gun lock once you hear someone start picking it open.

Yeah there's a lock that was made a while ago like 60 or 70 years ago with the words if you can pick this you win 60 shillings the lock was picked 50 years after took the guy a week with special lighting the lock was picked but no normal picker could open it

“Time and effort” is just as much of a deterrent as actual complexity-for most homes, it just wouldn’t be worth it!
I feel like some context might actually help here - I've been living in Taiwan for about 8 years and have encountered locks similar to this. They tend to be on either older buildings, or buildings that don't have a security guard at the front. The set up has two doors, a steel outer door a more traditional wooden inner door. (I have encountered set up where the inner door isn't locked, but have also seen set ups where the inner door is.)
I honestly think that the set up is partially just to make lock picking too time consuming/aggravating/noisy and attention grabbing to make worthwhile. It's anecdotal, but I think they succeed in that. In all my time living here I've never heard of a lock to a door being picked - but I know of two break-ins based on a thief finding a small, tucked in alleyway, scaling the sides of a building and sawing through the steel window bars that are on most older buildings.
TLDR: The context a lock is in can make it more/ less effective than the locking mechanism itself might be.
This is so relatable. I am from Taiwan. When I was a kid, the lock of my home needed to be turned 2 times to unlock, which was considered as safe since other locks only needed to be turned one time. When I grew a bit older, my parents replaced the lock with a new one that needed to be turned 3 times to open the door, and I was thinking, "Damn. This is some high-tech stuff," at the moment. Now I see a lock from Taiwan that need to be turn 4 times here. I feel that I'm truly living in the future right now. Lol
OMG same~ Like mine needs to be turned 3 times to lock too
Cool story, nice
Maybe in the future, we'll see Taiwanese locks needing to turn 9 times. We might need a key that automatically turns 9 rounds. If they turn 10 times, the lock is reset.
In India, it is normal for doors to have 3 rotations. I have been living with the same lock for now 18 years and it has now rusted to 2 rotations.
Just wait in twelve years it will be 8 times and still no laser sensory to pick up improper tools
"just to prove that wasn't a fluke, I'm going to pick it 7 more times to lock and unlock it.
The core idea isn't bad, actually. I mean, this lock acknowledges that it's all but impossible to design an unpickable lock, so rather than waste energy trying to do the impossible, they focused on making it take longer to pick. It makes sense: the longer a criminal is standing in front of your door fiddling with your lock, the more suspicious they look and the more likely they're going to get caught.
That said, it wouldn't have killed them to throw a few security pins in there.
@@Tantalus010 true, one random security pin would have quadrupled the amount of time to open it as raking would be more inconsistent. This could be made into a pretty secure lock.
@@emotionz3 I agree. It has so much potential.

When I saw the length of the video and he was already half way in with his explaination, I thought about writing a smartass comment that he should "do it again, to show it isn't a fluke". But the procedure that followed certainly qualifies.

@@battel_bruser3928 don't all central home doors need to be picked 4 times, anyway ? how would anyone unlock them otherwise ?
What? He said the lock requires being picked 4 times to open the door, then proceeded to pick it 4 times, the 4th resulting in the latch opening. Either you and your 200 likers didn't watch the video or I misunderstand your comment.
Anyone else who was very impressed by this lock and seeing the length of the video and then immideately got dissapointed when he took out the rakes?
Indeed. Security pins would have made the lock much better (even if LPL would have picked in just 20-30s more), but I still find it a decent lock. Was very disappoint when all he used was rakes, though.
You somewhat expected it when you saw that he had to pick it 4 times in 3 minutes, but.. "I'm gonna use this waverake.." always gets you down.
Lpl never disappoints
He picking this lock, seems like not using brain at all when squeeze the key hole
I was surprised, but not disappointing due to the lock out mechanism.
This lock has a really good idea, it just needs to be unrakeable, and then it would be annoying to open 4 times.
It already looks annoying to open four times.
This is perfect for when you live with others! They undo the turn thing inside when you’re getting home so you can come in and it keeps everyone else out. This is genius! It’d also be easier in a still safe way for people like me who struggle with standard locks as I always put the key in backwards and have trouble unlocking it and pulling the key out..or just elderly people or people with arthritis.

To be entirely fair, time is one of a thieves most valuable resources. So eating even a second more is valuable.

@@flightographist I got the joke, Nice.
What stood out to me is that a basic thief who doesn't know the details of how the lock works would probably be discouraged even after the first time he succeeded in picking it and turning it and it would feel just as stuck as before.
@@flightographist that *sounds* like a bad time
It would have been interesting to see, if the knob inside makes it unpickable, or if you can somehow outsmart that one too
As other Taiwanese said in the comment, yes, this kind of lock is quite common in here.
The keyway might be special, but the latch-locking knob is literally everywhere. I used to lock my home like this everyday before I went to the college.
The Dual Cylinder Disc Brake Lock in 552 is also from Taiwan, BTW.
I think the real deterrence of this lock is how loud the bolt is each time it moves up
Be nice to install a alarm plunge sensor in the bolt hole. Audible timer begins then.

@@leprechaunne It's not like you need to do anything particularly special to make security pins work. The pins are already 'symmetrical', it wouldn't alter much to replace 2-4 with some spools and/or T pins.
I live in Taiwan. It often strikes me that even though it is an ultra low-crime society, all the apartments and houses are locked up to look like fortresses: multiple doors, several deadbolts, curtain walls with broken glass and razor wire on top, metal cages over windows. I guess there was a lot of crime in the decades past when most of the buildings were built.
that "family in" knob is there for a reason. It's amazing how easy it is to pick!
I live in Taiwan. The time you spend trying to pick this lock, you'll be recorded in all the CCTVs in the streets and apartments. Even if you do pick the lock, which is normally the first door, you'll still have to pick the second door lock. Even if you do pick the second lock, there are still chains or a padded lock that cannot be picked from the outside.
Anyways, also, since the crime rate is really low here, we don't really need sophisticated locks unless you're a high value target. Even if you're a high value target, you'll have to bypass gate security and among other factors. We don't really need tough locks because its quite peaceful here anyways. Thieves rarely get away with breaking and entering these days.
This video only shows that the weird lock CAN still be picked in technical and no one's said living in Taiwan is unsafe. You needn't explain that much.

Yup, dishonest people just pick up a rock and break a window if they want in bad enough. No need to pick anything
@@Ges_who Aside from the fact that reasonable gun control in every country it has been established, has resulted in much lower gun crime. I can count the amount of gun related deaths in my country on one hand.
@@Ges_who Less gun availability makes illegal possession of guns more expensive and rarer for criminals, too. The black market is still a market. And less gun availability does a better job at preventing innocent people from getting shot than more guns. Because guns don't fire shields, and an innocent person's body response the same to a bullet regardless of whether a 'good guy' or 'bad guy' shot it. And the more 'good guys' with guns, the more 'bad guys' can steal guns from.

I know I'm responding to a super old comment but I didn't expect to see a random police squad reference.
If I were a lock picker, I would definitely shit my pants looking at this.
Most homes in Taiwan have these locks installed on their outward facing metal gate / door, before another regular door has to be opened. My mum literally has to lock this lock on the gate followed by two or three other combinations of locks on a regular door inside before we close our doors. It's probably still pickable but it gives my mum peace of mind to hope the annoying amount of locks will thwart any burglar attempts at least while we're inside.
As another comment has also stated, there's another kind of lock commonly found in Taiwan where the key has to be extended (伸縮鎖匙) out before being used to unlock. I was always warned not to misplace them since supposedly it's hard to make a copy and expensive to do so. Not sure if LPL will be able to get his hands on one to try.
I would says send him one, but the shipping fees would probably be crazy. But if LPL gets wind of this I'm sure he'll go get one to see for himself
As some one else said Your lock doesn’t have to be unpickable it has to be less pickable than the neighbours
I'm in Taiwan now and I have the extendable/collapsible key. The original keys are relatively expensive at about $15, but you can get fixed replacement keys for about $3, they are just kind of long. Just as easy to copy as any other key, it's just that the tumbler is very deep, thereby making it harder to reach, but the lock itself is very easy to pick other than the length.
Your all secure and locked up, relaxing at night behind 3 locks then you hear "Binding on one, click on two..."
Are there lots of criminals specializing in lock picking in Taiwan?? In Australia we just smash a window
I'm imagining the older teenager coming home late at night, past curfew, and nervously rotating the key in the lock. One rotation...two rotations...three rotations...and then it stops. So close to sneaking in to the house without waking up the parents.
Honestly though, even though you were able to pick it without much effort, it took a good amount of time more than most locks you've shown takes you, and much noisier too. That's really the design philosophy of the modern lock, not to be an impenetrable perfect barrier, but to be slow and noisy to break into, just inconvenient enough to spook the picker off or get them caught.
that feature on the back is like a killer to pickers so TECHNICALLY this lock can be unpickable!

When i first learnt how to pick locks i was amazed that when i moved on from the see through locks, just wiggling the thing around worked better than more careful movements
I mean the locksmith did't say it's hard to pick, he said it's intimidating. In a controlled environment - sure, a picker will figure it out. But if someone is trying to get in at night he'll see a strange looking lock and go to the next house over. Even if not, having to pick an uncommon type of lock four times will slow them down quite a bit compared to common locks.

Imagine this guy defending a burglar "your picking technique is all wrong, here, let me show you"
Uncle Iroh style: "Well you are just going to snap your tool off in the keyway trying it that way. Gently! You need to feel it."
This actually seems relatively safe, I doubt anyone trying to break quick into your home is gonna pick it 4 times, and the little latch is rather safe too!
I think this is still good in the sense that it takes much longer to pick. If you set this up in an office or industrial building on a good solid door, where they have cameras monitored by security personnel, an alarm could be raised before the picker even finishes his work. It might even be worth having on your house door as most burglaries happen during the day and a burglar won't want to sit in front of your door picking away for too long in broad daylight in case they're seen.

To be fair, even with rakes it takes a decent amount of time to open and I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't even realize it needs to be picked several times to open. Really the lock's security comes from the length of time needed to pick it four times, even knowing you have to pick it multiple times, and the fact it in general looks like a weird hard lock.
