Next time you're gonna make a passive aggressive joke like that, Josh, just remember that no publicity is bad publicity and keep your comments to yourself.
You mean his class of teddy bears that silently watch him typing on his grandma's typewriter, then watch him drunkly scribble the postscripts with an unsharpened pencil?
I shouldn't be amazed and overwhelmed at this point, but LPL yet again shows what a great guy he is! He does NOT talk down to Sam at all, he simply informs and instructs clearly, imparting his vast experience to a kid who is obviously eager to learn. Then on top of that, to return his lock AND a tool to help him...I'm just at a loss.
The kid mentions his class so he has to be in school, and he uses a typewriter and is into lockpicking which his peers and teachers fully support. This kid sounds awesome. And LPL didn't need to do that but like someone else mentioned, he's a real class-act.
Long time follower and I don't often comment, but got to give that American Lock credit for seemingly having some pick resistance compared to most, and also to LPL for his education.
Heck, even just throwing in a security pin these days seems like too much work to produce "high security locks". It is indeed good to see this lock having one, plus having that annoying cut pattern.
@Brievel Too bad the shackle looks like it could be cut with a pair of scissors lol. I’m exaggerating, but any tool a crook would carry would likely cut through that with ease.
my work uses this lock for our lockout locks. They're great locks, but aren't very resistant to sand. Not a common problem, but if you get sand in one, it'll never work right again. Something that happens where I work. Before then, they're great locks that resist everything short of an angle grinder. We have some 48" and 60" bolt cutters at work that we used to use on the older locks when someone forgot their lock on a machine. These locks destroyed the bolt cutters. So better you'd expect, @brehella
A shoutout to Samuel, whose accompanying letter was by a manual typewriter, with edits, write throughs. Gives those retro movies vibes, where an anonymous letter gives a tip off to the protagonist or the authorities.

Try to form a valid thought before you make a stupid comment.
He's impressive but these American locks always have the same couple of security pins in them, serrated and spool (with or without serrations). So if you feel a couple clicks as it rises AND get counter rotation, it's a pretty safe bet you're dealing with a classic American serrated spool!
LPL reads a view letter with three PS'es, picks a lock someone gave up on, explains how he did it with a tutorial, and still manages to be a class act in 3:09. Gotta love it.

Really enjoyed this video. A video with a "problem" lock sent in to you about 1 time a month would be awesome. Simple , quick explanation is nice... thanks
That was awesome. Not only did he demonstrate the issues- but the resolution was to send the lock AND a pick back for practice and learning. LPL, you're one hell of a teacher! Seriously.
Loved every bit of how you did this one, made Samuels day and helped teach him how to address the problem by providing better tools. A lesson well learned and fans earned
Absolutely lovely gesture to send the lock back with the pick, that's truly heart-warming, and I expect nothing less of one of the best content creators on CZcams!
The fact that Samuel is talking about his class makes me thing he's quite young. Him using a typewriter tells me he's quite old. On top, the handwriting could either be a child, or a70 year old with Parkinson's. I am confused.
I'm inclined to think it's a child, but I _was_ impressed that he managed to get his hands on an actual mechanical typewriter. And the ink's not completely dried out.
Hello from Ontario Canada, kudos to you for not only making a video for Samuel but to also send the lock back AND include the tool for him to learn with. AWESOME!!
I know LPL made picking it look trivial, but trivial for him still requires a decent amount of picking expertise. Samuel's gonna be a god at this and I'm gonna be looking into using American Locks for low-security purposes. Hearing all of the lock's features told me that they at least give a damn about actual security
Remember that most of the trickiness here seems to be down to the specific cut of the keys in this exemplar. I don't have experience with this brand either way though.
Had to get a locksmith out because I locked my keys into my house, he had issues with hooks and a pick gun but smashed it out quick with a Lishi tool. I believe something similar must be the case on my door lock.
When I was a kid I sent letters to a company for a school project. They responded and I felt so good that a big company would spend time doing something like. Awesome wholesome content I'm sure he'll love your video and gift.
Having the high-cut hidden behind the zero-lifts makes it very difficult, because you can accidentally overset the pins in front while reaching for the back one! Cool video and nice of you to send the lock and tool home to Mr. Samuel.
Sending him the lock back AND a tool to help him learn is honestly an absolutely amazing thing. Sounds like he's a young kid in school and this will 100% encourage him to keep perusing this hobby.
I really appreciate that LPL shows this picked with ease, but not insulting the person who sent it in. Combined with a full explanation of why the lock would give a picker trouble really shows his character.
I've dealt with those, and if any worker ever picked or cut one off, even the union wouldn't have been able to save their job. It was a bit of infamous history at the plant I worked at that one guy left for the day without removing his lock during a maintenance, and they waited to restart the entire machine while he drove 45 minutes back to remove it. An entire paper machine did not run for 45 minutes. I can't even imagine what that cost - these machines are probably 150 feet long and require four people doing nothing but operating them, before you count technical assistant and engineer time.
Very kind to send a Lishi tool along. I'm not the most experienced picker out there, but since I acquired my first Lishi tool, I've felt that they are spectacular for training. Without having to worry about juggling a tension wrench and/or where to put it, or finding the pin spacing, you can learn the exact pressure and tension needed to pick, and go from there.
LPL must be the only channel on CZcams with 1 billion views, and not a single sponsor ad. I can only imagine how many offers he receive left and right, but says no 😅.
Only thing he pitches is his own company, and he does it in a way that isn't obnoxious or annoying. It's just, "hey, this is what I sell, see, here's proof it works." I wish we had more of that.

Hello TLL, I was missing some trouble locks videos recently. Great that you included one! I can always learn a lot from these. I was stuck for a long time on one particular lock I have, until once I saw you specifically talked about the high cut on slot 1, which was also my case, and it helped to pick the lock. However, I'd like to ask about a different problem I am facing with my two European door locks: no matter what turning pressure I apply, all the pins are either completely loose or completely stuck, or some are completely stuck and some completely lose. I cannot seem to find the right pressure, seems like the right amount is in nanos in between the pressures I am applying. Any idea how to check where the prpblem may be? Many thanks!
Alright, so after some fiddling around I managed to finally open it. I had to use truly high pressure (torque), the 0.4mm turner was pushed way over 1 cm. Even then the first two pins were completely loose and the last three were mushy. It turned out the last three were high-cut serrated pins, the first two were one and zero cuts with a spool on the first pin. But I still would like to know how is it possible that even under strong torque pins are loose and very little responsive. Should I lubricate the lock? It's completely new.
@@StageRight123 "Surgeon hands" for fine and delicate details matter a lot to me. Too much booze you'll get shaky hands, having it for life would do my head in.
I'm going to guess Samuel is a school kid, given he said, "My whole class loves your videos". I suspect his poor handwriting is a product of computers and phones largely replacing the need for writing in this day and age, so young people are unlikely to get the same practice we would have 20+ years ago.
This is what more of your videos should be.. Enough with the cheap Amazon junk locks and more explanation videos and giving back to the community who has built you up.

LPL does speak highly of some padlocks, but it's rare - IIRC he was pretty happy with some of the Abus locks.

LPL knows lockpicking so well that he can tell what type of pins are in the lock just from the feel.
He probably uses the force and can just sense the pins. lol
He probably had 3/5 of a strategy worked out as he was pulling the envelope from his mailbox.

So inspiring that Samuel is picking locks with Parkinson’s disease
It's a very strange letter...
I didn't want to say this but thank you for commenting it. No different than an alcoholic doing electronics work without a drink IMHO.
@@TradieTrev You got a problem with that?
@@StageRight123 "Surgeon hands" for fine and delicate details matter a lot to me. Too much booze you'll get shaky hands, having it for life would do my head in.
I'm going to guess Samuel is a school kid, given he said, "My whole class loves your videos". I suspect his poor handwriting is a product of computers and phones largely replacing the need for writing in this day and age, so young people are unlikely to get the same practice we would have 20+ years ago.
Is Samuel 4 years old or taken hostage? I mean, are we supposed to ignore this letter prop from one of the last "SAW" movies?
Tip of the hat for the lesson and generosity. Bravo Sir!
Dude is so wholesome, giving him the help and the tools.
LPL, great guy for sending the lock back along with the fancy pick. 👍
This is what more of your videos should be.. Enough with the cheap Amazon junk locks and more explanation videos and giving back to the community who has built you up.
Outstanding, and you've earned a whole new generation of followers for sure!
You're an absolute sport! Nicely done. 👏👏👏👏👏
Pure class, sir. This video made my day.
I love everything in this video, so wholesome. Thank you, LPL!
