    So I just picked my first real world locks. I have a toolbox in the back of a truck someone gave me, but after waiting over a year for them to find the key to unlock the toolbox, I decided to just pick it open. It was a pain because the locks are recessed under the release handles, and there's the little flapper door to keep dirt out of the lock cylinder. I didn't have a tension wrench to work for the recess, so I used a small flat blade screwdriver held with needlenose vise grips. I used a standard pick to figure out which side the pins were on, and finally got the cylinder to turn and unlock. Then I had to do the same thing to the other side to get the whole top lid to open. Finally got the second one to turn, but the handle still acted like it was locked on that side. Maybe it just needed to turn a bit more, or perhaps it was jammed. I had already been messing with it for around half an hour and was done. I came back out and opened it with my HK. Vaporized both lock cylinders, opened the box, and it was full of smoke. Rifle has a flash hider so I just put the muzzle against the locks. Learned that if you're going to do that, make sure you only have one round in the gun. The change in back pressure with the muzzle being up against something caused it to try and double feed. Shot twice, but cost me four bullets.

    Hopefully some day we will get to see more of the lawyer part. Him sueing and bringing down every single company that makes these poor locks. I mean America is the land of the lawyers and thus lawsuits.
    After that, he could start his own series of locks.

    Just came up with a MUCH better way to display security ratings. Instead of random numbers (that are essentially meaningless) there should be a number denoting the "Estimated Time to Defeat"
    As in, every lock can be defeated if someone is given enough time and tools. There could be two such numbers next to each other. The first denotes the time in minutes (up to but not greater than) it takes to defeat the lock in a non-destructive fashion, while the second is destructive. So, a lock that takes 1 minute and 23 seconds to open non destructively but takes 28 seconds to open with an angle grinder would get a rating of 21. The standards for water and dust ingress into devices has a similar concept. That's why some devices are listed as IP68 but others are IP6X (where X means an untested category).
    This new standard would show most locks being woefully low as anything that starts with a number less than 5 would be laughable.

      5 minutes for non-destructive entry is quite a high bar! A score of 2-3 might be where common locks end up. I bought Avocet pin-in-pin cylinders for my house entry doors, which are well beyond any criminal but would be within 5 mins for a professional picker. Incidentally, the doors I've installed them in are also good against destructive entry. Cheap PVC construction is a real pain to kick in. Police raided a neighbour not long ago and it took them nearly 2 mins to get through the door with a ram.

I would love to see a video of in your opinion some of the best locks in a reasonable budget for your typical home owner maybe a dead bolt and padlock something you would use on your own home and trust and of course I have no doubt you can and will pick them for us lolol

  • @penfold7800
    @penfold7800 Před 5 měsíci

    Also, like a lot of other locks I've seen, they've turned a hardened 10mm shackle in to an 8mm shackle by forging or machining a 1mm slot round it where the 'water resident' gasket fits. If that hardened shackle is only case hardened (not through hardened) then this will be a weak cutting point. I've not yet figured out why so many lock manufacturers do this.

    LPL should team up with @StuffMadeHere to create next level locks, instead of him (Stuff Made Here) making his own lock and them sending to LPL for testing as they did in the past. Combining their expertise would be great, Stuff Made Here have wide expertise in manufacturing and LPL have a wide expertise in locks. They could even start a new brand of locks and safes!! What an idea !!!

    How many locks are subjected to lock-picking attacks versus brute force attacks? The consideration that no one intent on criminal activity is going to worry about cutting a lock or wrenching it off whatever it is securing and that is what lock makers seek to address is the thought to have in mind when watching these, excellent, vids.
