Hey LPL, just wanted to let you know that I bought this product from Amazon, and I just received an email offering a refund for this product because it "may be unlocked with certain household tools". Thank you for highlighting security flaws such as the one in this product.
Amazon's Choice isn't the same as Amazon Basics. Basics are the ones they have manufactured; Choice are supposed good and popular representatives of a category.
I just picked my first locks last night. What an experience. I'm hooked. Thank you to you and Bosnian Bill for sharing your knowledge with us. Of course I only have a really old HPC set that I found in my grandfather's stuff. It only has about 10 pieces but I was still able to pick a little brinks lock that I am sure has security pins. And then I was able to rake open a little suitcase lock. I am officially obsessed. Lmao.
Thanks for the encouragement guys. I have been watching Bill and LPL for about a year now. But recently I had remembered that kit in my grandpa's old stuff. So I thought, I'm gonna find that, and try it out. Since watching Bill, I have found out this is definitely something I am interested in. Now i know I am hooked! I hope to try and win one of Bills giveaways for a kit. Because at the moment, I can't afford one. Thanks everybody! And remember, stay legal! Lolol, I will Bill, I will...

Muzz TheGreat That requires an extra switch detecting if closed. Or just the same switch with opposite logic: Switch pushed by lid. Open to change code, maybe hold down one of the 4 code keys to save changes.
@@MisaloSloe Keep a gun in a safe condition, no magazine or ammunition. Then its just a metallic rock. But if you have to leave a gun lying around unsecured.. you shouldn't have said gun.
lociiInsight This is obviously meant to sit under a table or shop counter so the guy with the registered fingerprint can quickly open and draw in self defense. No time to retrieve ammo from elsewhere. No guarding the table 24x7 . The makers of this device should have checked ability to resist a "slim jim".
Thanks LPL. You inspired me to attempt lock picking. I tried tonight to start picking a TSA brinks lock. I did it, quite easily and kept trying. I went from taking 4 to 5 minutes, to being able to do it in a few seconds. It's a lot of fun and I can see why you love it.
I would love to see a review of the Vaultek line of gun safes. They are pricey and are much hyped. The real question is, "Can I trust them?" Do you have any "recommended" gun safes?
I mean you can use a few really easy tips to avoid certain safes 1) Do you see a tubular lock? Run. A $5 impressioning tool will certainly open that POS tubular lock 2) Do you see a wafer lock? Run. Blind monkeys can rake those open 3) Do you see plastic? Run. Plastic is usually hiding some egregious security flaws like "oh wow a giant gaping hole into the locking mechanism! surely no one will take off the decorative plastic cover!"
@@GigsVT Vault-Tec gun safe: Works absolutely fine, except it's quietly scanning your DNA every time you open it, and giving you a quick hit of radiation upon closing.
Ways to make these types of flaws better. Add a cover (screw on, sliding) over the button to prevent pressing by shims or wires. Or even better an interrupt switch that removes power from the reset when the safe is closed requiring it to be open to reset the code.
Dude, you are brilliant! I watch some of your old videos and compare it to how well you are doing now, i am impressed and I'm really happy for you. Keep up the good work!
You do in fact get what you pay for when you choose a generic basic model safe. I am going to secure my $650 gun in a $112 safe that I purchased online hoping the physical description is accurate. There are times where a mortar and brick store is still a necessary choice especially where guns and death are involved. And yet another reason to watch LPL. I've seen a PC builder spend about $1500 on a gaming rig and chose a $39 725W PSU. There needs to be a balance. It's not uncommon to want to save a little here and there but not with a gun safe where the savings compromise security. Remington vs Amazon basics?
Oh good god, less than 2 minutes for the complete video. I have to wonder at this point, are Amazon Basics intentionally choosing such terribly flawed locks? One is an accident but at this point its incompetence or intent.
So i just recently found this page and have been obsessed with these videos and boy do they scare the shit out of me that there is no way to secure your things. I get the vast majority of people dont know and wont use these ways to access items but WOW is it crazy how easy it is to bypass these "security" devices. Have you done a video on the best locks you cannot access? :) maybe put my mind at ease that there is something out there we can use.
Nice video. Very insightful. As it's a good thing to know shortcomings of potential purchases... Maybe you can show on some of these, how easy or hard it would be to eliminate bypassing. Sometimes it's still easier & cheaper to retrofit some of the cheaper items. Sometimes....
The level of incompetence in this product's design, intermixed with the high level of risk that comes with storing firearms, is a combustible mixture waiting to blow up. Just, wow.
jony7 if it doesn’t have one, there are ways around that too. If the solenoid has recently been opened or is held open, then let the fingerprint scanner be programmed.
I doubt that box has a modifiable way to detect if it was opened via key recently. A better option would require someone to both press the button to reprogram the biometric scanner AND enter the keycode on the keypad prior to allowing them to change the saved fingerprint.
6 lines. You'd need to define a new subroutine to check if the door is already open, and then you have to call it. granted, if the subroutine exists already, it's a single line of code, but I don't seen the need for it ahead of time.
You're absolutely awesome LPL! As a former locksmith I love to watch your lockpicking skills in action. One burning question I have: Why don't you ever show yourself in your videos? It is for security purposes?
That's what i thought too. They could have made a second switch that's triggered by the door or a simple sensor mechanism. If it's locked the button should be without a function.
Amazon removed the safe from their website. I wonder what I can do if I already purchased this. Guess I'll super glue a nut around the button now that I'm paranoid.
What an excellent video not to mention great point at the end! I have been a fan of yours for a while now and I do have to ask, do you own a key ring let alone any keys? Just curious, , , , ,
There are numerous ways to shield that button. Little fence, a cover, a hood. Grooved door jam, a baffle etc so on and so forth . But it would only slow down LPL for 30 seconds while he picked the lock :P
@@BobSmith-fp4qy I think it's sad that we don't care about our favourite CZcamsrs enough to ask what their fingers, which are not registered with this particular model of fingerprint reader, are derided for their constant examples of digit abrasion and disruption. Why, just two days ago I tore off at least 9mm of skin when trying to open a beer with a certified bottle opening pivoting device, and I have regretted it every day since. As such, I thought it would be kindly of me to reach out to a resident pad scratcher and ask how they best overcome these challenges.
Also I have to add that my current solution of dunking my fingies into my microwaved indo mie mi goreng noodles between bites has been only satisfactory at best, kinda hurts at worst
@@warrenjohnson5971 Even with a cooldown period, this thing has a 4digit, 4 button system making the number of combinations or guesses to staggering 16! You'd be inside the box in no more than 16 minutes. This might be OK for safekeeping a sandwich but firearms? Common!
@@mirzacenanovic I think it would be 4 to the 4th power since you could use each number multiple times. So 256 variations. Not a ton, but a lot more than 16.
I appreciate the comment near the end. Intelligent children are naturally curious and will tinker with many things, especially when there's no immediate supervision. I recommend a gun safety training class as well, without education and experience one cannot develop a proper sense of respect and responsibility with firearms.
I think this offers good security. Buy a few of them and place them around to distract the person that is trying to gain access to your firearm. The beeping would offer a good indication of what someone is trying to do.Then keep your firearm somewhere actually secure.
Added a piece of metal to cover that flaw. Also the side screw holes that are not been used. Simple welding. This is for quick access to the gun in home defense cases and to protect from unqualified users like children. Thanks for revealing the flaw but is an easy fix. The product still good and cheap
"I would normally focus on the mechanical lock, and this one does have its shortcomings." So, in other words, it can be opened in 2 seconds with an impressioning tool. Even so, the issue you address is a fair bit more interesting than just impressioning another lock.
At 0:26 You can see the screw heads inside the box through the door gap. I suspect you can find a screwdriver thin enough that you can completely dismantle this thing while its locked.
I have seem numerous mechanical code door locks on the UK and I have to assume that they are easily bypass able as they seem to be very cheap. If so could you do an episode on them and their mechanics?
also looks like if its not put into a wall correctly or securely.. .you can just rip it out and most likely just use the screw that was in the wall to push the button after. One of the mounting holes is right inline with the button it looks like and only a inch or 2 away
Just pay for youtube. Worth every penny if you use it daily. I can't stand the intrusive ads either. If cant stretch to a couple of coffees each month then use a VPN to buy youtube via another country - no need for the VPN after setting up the subscription.
@@Wishwader no I'm fine with ads and I'll let them play happily. im just saying it's pretty pathetic that you could steal someone's firearm faster than a youtube ad.
One of my favorite things about LPL's reviews are how much he respects children. I imagine a lot of people would watch this and go "Okay who cares? A kid isn't going to know how to bypass a safe like this." However, LPL knows and acknowledges that 1: You can never be too careful with gun safety 2: Kids are, if nothing else tenacious and they have access to the internet as much as we do 3: Curious teens aren't infants. They have problem solving skills, curiosity, and should never be underestimated Respecting the intelligence and problem solving skills of teens and kids goes a long way to benefiting everyone.
Probably you still could. There's not set place for the handgun to be set and at the best would serve at a annoyance for the metal place to reach the button.
just by changing the way it's mounted this thing can be much safer. if there were holes in the bottom part (where you insert the long metal strip) and it's bolted down to a desk. then that opening is obstructed. but the one you have must be suffering from a manufacturing default.
With all the fans and anti gun people, it's going to be impossible to shame this guy for showing how to defeat a gun safe that in all likelihood is only known to other occupants in the home.
I was searching your channel for good gun safe. I have biometric GunVault (biometric part broken) so using just the key. But it can be opened by fishing from the side. I was looking for similar style as you reviewed (minus biometric but still with PIN). Is there something you actually recommend?
Hi @LockPickingLawyer - are there any versions of this type of safe you would recommend? The top mounting for underneath a desk is perfect for my use case. I see this one is no longer available due to the flaws you point out but what about similar ones such as the RPNB and Barska branded ones? They seem to be a similar design but I'm unsure if they have the same vulnerabilities.
they need to either move the button away from the opening of the lock or at least have the button indented so you need something like a sim ejector tool to press it making it harder to press when the door is locked
A solution for that would be to glue a circular button protector around the button to prevent that thin probe in pressing the button. But it should have already come with that installed. You might also be able to force the mechanism through that same gap.

@@warrenjohnson5971 Even with a cooldown period, this thing has a 4digit, 4 button system making the number of combinations or guesses to staggering 16! You'd be inside the box in no more than 16 minutes. This might be OK for safekeeping a sandwich but firearms? Common!
@@mirzacenanovic I think it would be 4 to the 4th power since you could use each number multiple times. So 256 variations. Not a ton, but a lot more than 16.
@@adampierce5676 you are right of course!
I appreciate the comment near the end. Intelligent children are naturally curious and will tinker with many things, especially when there's no immediate supervision. I recommend a gun safety training class as well, without education and experience one cannot develop a proper sense of respect and responsibility with firearms.
I think this offers good security. Buy a few of them and place them around to distract the person that is trying to gain access to your firearm. The beeping would offer a good indication of what someone is trying to do.Then keep your firearm somewhere actually secure.
Does Amazon have product testers? Nevermind stupid question lol...oh Amazon no wonder I don't shop with them🤣
Could the LPL have done this without already having access to an opened product to know exactly where the button was and access to the manual?
Amazon does not care whether the product is good or bad, it only cares about how well it sells.
Gitemstevedave You could probably Google the product and finds loads of info about it, even an owner's manual pdf would do.
Well, how else would you open it if you lost your finger?
A toe. Or someone who hasn't lost all their fingers and toes
Added a piece of metal to cover that flaw. Also the side screw holes that are not been used. Simple welding. This is for quick access to the gun in home defense cases and to protect from unqualified users like children. Thanks for revealing the flaw but is an easy fix. The product still good and cheap
You should upload this video to an Amazon review of the device.
As of right now, there are 34 Amazon robots disliking this video.
My first lock picking kit just arrived and LPL already posts
This is the only channel i get more excited the shorted the video is.
"I would normally focus on the mechanical lock, and this one does have its shortcomings." So, in other words, it can be opened in 2 seconds with an impressioning tool. Even so, the issue you address is a fair bit more interesting than just impressioning another lock.
Impressioning a lock requires proper tools and a bit of skill. This won't keep your kids away from your gun, which is probably it's main purpose.
What are you doing LPL .. we need ya in the raid to get us in :-(
Im in the hotel watching yt videos waiting for the rest of the world to arrive.
Area 51 raid? :)
Say hello to the microwave cannons for me, buddy!
It’s been an hour. He is already dead.
oh boy, make sure to waltz past the warnings and get arrested if you're actually there. Maybe I'll see you!
Deady DeadSh0t it got cancelled, idk if anyone is gonna come
Never a good sign when 1 dollar doesn't give you a second of video
At 0:26 You can see the screw heads inside the box through the door gap. I suspect you can find a screwdriver thin enough that you can completely dismantle this thing while its locked.
As always Excellent video Mr.L.P.L
I can’t even imagine the profit margin on this garbage.
To be fair, if you reprogram the gun-owner's safe, such that he can't open it any more, then you've just made him and his family safer.
Yeah, you went there! Watch out for the gun lovers club; they'll be around shortly to chomp on this bait!
I have seem numerous mechanical code door locks on the UK and I have to assume that they are easily bypass able as they seem to be very cheap. If so could you do an episode on them and their mechanics?
also looks like if its not put into a wall correctly or securely.. .you can just rip it out and most likely just use the screw that was in the wall to push the button after. One of the mounting holes is right inline with the button it looks like and only a inch or 2 away
the ads for the video are longer than the actual video.
Just pay for youtube. Worth every penny if you use it daily. I can't stand the intrusive ads either. If cant stretch to a couple of coffees each month then use a VPN to buy youtube via another country - no need for the VPN after setting up the subscription.
@@Wishwader no I'm fine with ads and I'll let them play happily. im just saying it's pretty pathetic that you could steal someone's firearm faster than a youtube ad.
I don't even have notifications, I just happened to open youtube
One of my favorite things about LPL's reviews are how much he respects children.
I imagine a lot of people would watch this and go "Okay who cares? A kid isn't going to know how to bypass a safe like this." However, LPL knows and acknowledges that
1: You can never be too careful with gun safety
2: Kids are, if nothing else tenacious and they have access to the internet as much as we do
3: Curious teens aren't infants. They have problem solving skills, curiosity, and should never be underestimated
Respecting the intelligence and problem solving skills of teens and kids goes a long way to benefiting everyone.
I was actually considering buying this. Thanks lol 👍
Amazon Basics is a terrible brand. Nothing I bought from them worked well. Cellphone chargers, USB cables, etc. all died within the first month.
But can you press it if there is a gun inside surely this will restrict it
Probably you still could. There's not set place for the handgun to be set and at the best would serve at a annoyance for the metal place to reach the button.
would love to see your review about ABUS Victory 68 lock, was that waste of money to try secure my bike
just by changing the way it's mounted this thing can be much safer.
if there were holes in the bottom part (where you insert the long metal strip) and it's bolted down to a desk. then that opening is obstructed.
but the one you have must be suffering from a manufacturing default.
somehow i saw this after 44 secs after upload
Probably due to lack of strong safety requirements and certifications for such devices.
Okay but... who would know that this is possible, and also, is it possible with a gun inside?
With all the fans and anti gun people, it's going to be impossible to shame this guy for showing how to defeat a gun safe that in all likelihood is only known to other occupants in the home.
Why are your videos so good? That was hilarious
Even without the shim, the steel is really easy to drill through and you can press the button with with a closet hanger
As usual Amazon's recommendations are trash. What a garbage company
I was searching your channel for good gun safe. I have biometric GunVault (biometric part broken) so using just the key. But it can be opened by fishing from the side. I was looking for similar style as you reviewed (minus biometric but still with PIN).
Is there something you actually recommend?
Easy fix, too! Put the button inside the lid. Even if you bent the peace of metal, there'd be no leverage top ress the button.
Hi @LockPickingLawyer - are there any versions of this type of safe you would recommend? The top mounting for underneath a desk is perfect for my use case. I see this one is no longer available due to the flaws you point out but what about similar ones such as the RPNB and Barska branded ones? They seem to be a similar design but I'm unsure if they have the same vulnerabilities.
Love this channel. Saving people a lot of money on trash!
@LPL, what if you whack it front to back in the lower part? Looks like the steel would give enough to bypass the "lug"
they need to either move the button away from the opening of the lock or at least have the button indented so you need something like a sim ejector tool to press it making it harder to press when the door is locked
Curious as to what you actually recommend for locks or safes
A solution for that would be to glue a circular button protector around the button to prevent that thin probe in pressing the button. But it should have already come with that installed. You might also be able to force the mechanism through that same gap.
Do gun lock recommendations
this was really helpfull, thank you. i subbed to u
It’s surprising how many gun locks can be easily opened easier than regular locks you use to lock garage or shed doors.
