I have just started really and am trying to learn individual pin picking which is much harder than it looks; just getting the feel for each pin and what is actually a 'click'. This is some of the most educational stuff out there. Thanks so much. Paul.
I took one of these from my new front door when I installed my keyed alike system. I had thought of trying to pick this one (complete novice) but your video has shown that it is far beyond me for the moment
This is a really good example of why I watch your videos. Excellent explanation of why you do every little step. Then complete gutting and showing me why you were right from the start. I can´t wait to put my recently ordered picks to the test.
LPL You have just blown my mind. . Seriously lol I've got a keyless one similar to this at home and been trying to pick it for 4 hours straight 🤣 I keep getting false sets every time and can't get past that. I must admit my curved pick ain't quite so curved as yours so maybe that's the KEY pardon the pun 😀👍 i will try again one night. . If Ifail do you want it? It's full anti drill and has a shallow key way so where you put your wrench is smaller on mine with a slight etching where yours is cut fully!
Thank you for the Yale tips. They have proved difficult compared to kw, sc, la, ra etc. Also you confirmed my suspicion of tok being harder to master than bok tension. Thanks your videos teach well
Great video thanks. Came across a yale like this today- all the serrations seemed to bind and needed to be picked multiple times. I notice the pins (although being serrated) in the video seemed to behave like spools
Yeah, I acquired a handful of these and spent half an hour on them, to no joy. Thought I would check in with ol' lpl and see what he was saying. He said of a squire stronghold lock that it was fairly easy. I have one if those too and it took me and absurd amount if time. If he reckons this one was fairly tricky, then I think I'm goosed here... Great video
Having watched this video, the Yale 3 star euro cylinder video, I have swapped my locks. I have gone with the Avocet with magnetic anti bump, anti snap and a huge amount of drilling protection including great big loose discs on the cylinder. In the UK most burglars use brut force attacks, drilling or snapping, but I get one that wants to pick he will be out of luck as the orientation makes just about impossible, I am told.
Thanks again for outlining the plan then executing it so well LPL, could you (can you remember) say where you sourced the thin hook you used on the rear pins please? I've bought a few kits and the only hook of that shape I have is too fat to fit in a Yale #1 keyway ( it's from an 8 piece southord kit, the other kits I've got only have shallow hooks, including the Praxis, which is the only kit to include narrow/thin hooks....) TIA, Ray
@lockpickinglawyer can you pick this lock mounted the correct way with pins at the bottom please. I find it much harder myself, would like to see what your process looks like.
I’ve been really enjoy watching videos! Have seen any locks that you can’t pick? Is any pick proof door lock existing in the market available in affordable price? Thank you in advance!
I have a question, I was picking my own back door cylinder lock for fun after watching you pick a few locks, and after I pick it, it turned 180 degree and stopped, then 2 pins popped up, 1 at front for sure and 1 at back (I think) at the bottom of the cylinder (opposite to the other pins), I know nothing about this and started to panic as I thought I messed the lock up, then after messing around for 5 minutes I discovered I needed to press the pins down with with along wrench and then turn it at the same time, I just wanted to know what these are? as ive never seen them
I just picked up a standard version of this type up from amazon. I figured with it being "standard security" rather than being starred, and it was £7.99, it would be a decent opener into this style of lock. It is kicking my butt. Mine appears to only have one spool or serrated pin (only one pin gives counter rotation in either 3 or 4 - I'm still learning). Probably over-reaching.
YUEMA is a lock that is impossible to pick. Their 360* variant. The lock works in opposite, eg is always "unlocked", and then "locks" when the correct key is inserted. This is then used by having the locking mechanism couple to the actuator, such as when no key or incorrect key is inserted, the core just freely spins without the actuator. Once the correct key is inserted, the core locks to the actuator so they both can rotate in unison. Since such a lock cannot be tensioned, its per definition impossible to pick.
@@rob-fb5xs How woud such a tool look like? In the core/sleeve variant (used by a competitior) its enough with superglue or some shim to wedge between the core and sleeve, but in YUEMA the actuator part of the core is long behind the core, meaning theres nothing to grip onto. The core spins freely, meaning you can't tension or feel where the sliders are in correct position. Only way to exploit it would be like the masterlock M532 rekeyable lock, but that requires you to be able to tuck a shim between the sidebar and the cylinder wall, on the YUEMA lock, and thats not possible as the core is protected on YUEMA lock, ergo theres no gap between the core and the lock body allowing shimming. czcams.com/video/4cwjGJ2i4oA/video.html As you see, there is a inverse lip there, on a normal cylinder lock, the cylinder has the lip over the lock hole, and in YUMEA 360, the lock body instead have a lip over the cylinder, ergo the hole in the cylinder is smaller than the core in the front.
There is currently another unpickable lock from a company called "Bowley Lock". It literally prevents any (known) tools from picking the core due to core shielding.
Is it impossible to pick it in the upright position I wonder. I once tried to pick one closed where I needed to lock up but forgot the key all the way at home. The thing had a single serration on the bottom of key pin, the first one at least anyway. Just a little tension and they all bind hard.
This was the first lock I ever picked, but it was a gold double sided version (not sure what they're called 😅) it took me about 30 minutes, not sure if that's good or bad for a first time?
A few minutes in you said you went into a false set but continued picking through? I thought in that situation you have to start again or at least fix the false set?
false set in this case means when a serrated or spooled driver pin gets stuck in the sheer line. trying to get past them can cause other pins to drop but otherwise you just have to set the pin in question. here's a good video for it czcams.com/video/fMe2b6n2q-w/video.html
Didn't know you changed your email. I have some pretty cool locks if you'd like to trade again in the near future. I have a Dom System D I think you'd do an awesome video on. I sent half of it to Tumbl3r so he'll probably be doing a video on it shortly. I tried but it's to difficult a pick to have a tripod in between my arms.
Its like the patient is strapped into the chair screaming to be let free. The patient knows what is going to happen! That is the opening to this sadistic video!
Yes, that lock could be unlocked with anything that can provide tension, likely even your finger if you either had a long fingernail that you could push inside or could push on the keyhole and turn it.
Oh so it turns out Americans just use shit locks. This thing here seems to be the standard issue lock of any house, garage or even some postboxes here in Europe
I forgot my keys and came to learn how to pick my own lock because I don't want to pay 50 euros to enter my own appartement 😭😭😭😭😭 I've become my own Thief.
Those pins look real nasty; like old school ASSA twin nasty. The milling on the core looks a bit less precise than a ASSA though. Still no way I'm picking it

Nice to see so many security pins.

Hello, great work. Can you advice for best european cylinder … 😬 thanks
Did you push those pins up in order? Thought pins bind in random order?
Good job!

Great pick, realised I don't have a pick to reach the back pin without overlifting pin 4
well done!

For the ones who lives un Europe that's even interesting than usually os!
Have you heard of the Whitco lock got em here in western Australia wondering how easy they are to pick and could you maybe show me.
Cheers Jamie.
If you send him a lock, he will probably pick it, but you sound like you need it for extra curricular activities :)
The only question is why are you installing europrofile locks upside down
When do i use top of the keyway tension and when bottom?
European locks aren't installed with the pins upwards, but with the pins downwards. Upwards makes it easier.
Is there a Mr lishitool for decoding the Yale type locks?
I've had one of these on my bench for a year and even with the keys to look at I've never picked it 😥
Which lishi tool works for this kind of lock?
Av been trying this lock for over a year every couple months I have a go but it next to me and still not managed I won't give up
Does it annoy anyone else that the lock is upside down
🤣😂😆🤣😂😆😂🤣😆🤣😂
You do see real doors with locks installed upside down, sometimes. *shudders*
my old front door and the entrance to my apartment building had their keys "upside-down" too lol
Do lishi do a pick for these ?
Looks a tricky bitting even for standard pins.
I have a padlock with this profile. Successfuly opened with city rake.. its really hard to single pin it .. tried with short hook and i didnt open it
I have one of those, with pretty mean bitting. Still no chance on it.
Is there a reason the lock is held upside down when picking? Would be curious if its harder to do when the right way up?
It so he can see the pins move
but what if you didnt see the key?
most of the time
picking a lock means that the key is gone
and we wont have a guide
What model is this?
👍 wish i could hang out with you for a day or 2
Whats the name of this keyway?
Does it make any difference that the LPL is holding the cylinder upsidedown?
Just personal preference.
So if you say it was a difficult pick then not much chance for the rest of us 😂😆🤣😂🤣😆😂🤣
A few minutes in you said you went into a false set but continued picking through? I thought in that situation you have to start again or at least fix the false set?
false set in this case means when a serrated or spooled driver pin gets stuck in the sheer line. trying to get past them can cause other pins to drop but otherwise you just have to set the pin in question.
here's a good video for it czcams.com/video/fMe2b6n2q-w/video.html

Buy a smaller hook

La ranura de la puerta lleva el modelo la llave que corresponde o podemos usar. Qualquier llave pero algunas abren
What if you didn't have the original key for reference? Would it have been as easy?
He said it wasn't easy.
Question: if you remove all of the pins and put back everything together
Is the lock going be unlocked with any key in the world ?
Yes, that lock could be unlocked with anything that can provide tension, likely even your finger if you either had a long fingernail that you could push inside or could push on the keyhole and turn it.
What about Fichet locks huh 😜
nice
ight im stuck outside my house imma go pick the lock
Does anyone know the name of the keyway?
Why do you pick that lock upside down? Does that help picking it?
YALE is the standard locks for your doors in the uk, and are also installed upsidown.
Just checked mine they're Yale but not upside down
yeah mine's Yale but it's not upside down

also i feel like you cheated because you saw the key bidding before you picked the lock
