I love how the fact that the build quality and weather resistance are above average, makes this lock great for tasks you would normally accomplish with a couple of zip ties.
this reminds me of the handful of things that people I associate with secure by locking with a cheap non weather resistant lock, and allowing it to seize from exposure.
Fun thought, except you don't have to replace the zip tie every time you remove the fastening. If you have a barn door you open once every few weeks, a weather-resistant cheap insecure padlock probably makes more sense than a zip tie. (You might even leave the key in the lock - I've seen that done.) But even so, this is one of the most passive-aggressive "endorsements" I can imagine!

It'll work against any animal that can't comprehend shims, so don't expect it to work against cockatoos, parrots, crows, monkeys or exceptionally bright pigs.

@@ExarchGaming He and Bosnian Bill gave the design to Sparrows to allow them to mass produce it. Since then he's opened up his own lock pick store, so technically Sparrows is now his competitor.

Yeah seeing the shape of the notches was a dead giveaway. It makes it v quick and easy to snap into place without needing the key, which makes it user friendly I suppose. D lock on my bike, you need to keep the key in until you're ready to lock it, and then you have to turn the key back to lock it, i.e. move it into a locked state. Not a "latch" mechanism...

Got some of you Covert Instruments picks and rakes. Not much experience with picking, but very used to working with precision tools in confined spaces. Been opening masterlocks left and right. You always made raking them look so easy, and it come to find out, it is easy once you get the feel for it. I am tempted to try some better, more challenging locks.....although Masterlocks from Lowe's or HomeDepot will be 95 percent of what I encounter in the wild. Thanks for the years of information to guide me.
Are you absolutely sure raccoons can't use shims? Those buggers seem to show up in quite many places where you'd expect them to be at least fairly proficient with a rake.
I'd love to hear how Bosnian Bill is getting on. Each time that tool gets brought out I remember a legend of the community that retired from youtube to help out those in need.
When I bought my house last year I installed a "Zinc Safety Hasp" and use a cheap Master lock on the out building my lawnmower and a few garden tools are in. It wasn't until after I installed it that I noticed that when they put the doors on the outbuilding they installed the hinges on the outside of the doors. All you need to get in is to take the screws out of the hinges on the door. 🤦♂
I like this addition.. when is this particular lock a good option.. Holding a barndoor closed.. keeping a propane bottle closed.. While some locks will get the label : perfect paper-weight.. there are some mediocre locks that can still serve a purpose.
I don't know if its my middle age or the fact LPL has been away, but I had completely forgotten about shims. Mind you, in the meantime I have been watching *Forgotten Weapons* and my mechanical mind is now full of locking lugs, bolt carriers, firing pins and return springs, instead.
I like the addition of what the lock should be used for. It gives a better idea than high/low security for anyone like me who's not familiar with security.
Incredible that lock companies still makes locks that can be shimmed open just like that. Should straight up be illegal to call it a lock if it can be shimmed...
Depending on the application, you may not have the space to get shims into the lock, leaving picking as the only option, and since that requires special tools and skills, this could actually be a pretty secure lock, as long as you take into account the vulnerabilities. Of course most thieves won't bother with either shims or picking and will simply take an angle grinder to the shackle and have the lock off in seconds.
When I was a kid, I'd open that style of lock by sliding the lock all the way up the shackle then slide it down quickly. The locking pawl couldn't catch in the shackle quick enough. This more modern lock probably has stronger springs that lock quicker...
Just when you least expect it, the lock picking lawyer pops up with a video where he says the line! I honestly didn't even expect the line (though I should have known because of the disk detainer core) until he rotated them clockwise.
It is so hard to make content and get sponsorship for creators with integrity. The lock company that would pay LPL to pick their lock would be a brave one.
Considering it's a Disk Detainer core, the shims are the easiest vulnerability to fix. You don't see very many disk detainer core items in any store in the US unless it's a specialty store for those sorts of items, or Amazon.

THE RETURN OF THE PICK BOSNIAN BILL AND HE MADE!!!!
He said it! He said the thing! 😁 Never fails to give me a smile.
Yes!!
I miss Bill's channel. Does anyone knowhow he's doing?
Bosnian Bill Nye
And brought cheers from many!
The shims flying off-camera was far too perfectly cinematic.
Darmok and Jalad, when the shims flew.
Should redo the shot with the Slow Mo Guys!

I love how the fact that the build quality and weather resistance are above average, makes this lock great for tasks you would normally accomplish with a couple of zip ties.
This kind of application of a lock appeals to my laziness. I'd just lose the bundle of zip ties way too often.

He’s never worried about us thinking it’s a fluke any more…
It never has been, not once 😉
At this point, if the lock isn't picked in 1 minute I'll think that as a fluke

Them damn birds and tool-using abilities
LOL Parrots are awesome.
Or Gorillas 🦍!
If they are inside the barn and the lock is on the outside you it might hold them off for a few hours.
So, not effective against tool using birds like Ravens.... Got it.

How much I have learned from this channel. Just seeing the way the notches are cut tells me that the lock is spring loaded and shimmable.
The wisdom of LPL: Just because it has flaws doesn't mean it is useless.
Of course not, but are you going to put such a flawed lock on anything? Any thief is going to get through it no problem.
I wish my ex-wife was as generous with compliments.
@@lepayen I mean, you could use it to lock the thief's leg to a... "fun diving weight". 🤔
I think he also once said that a certain safe would make a great decoy as you hide your belongings elsewhere.
@@lepayenmy grandpa would say "it keeps honest people honest"
it is NOT a SECURITY device but a "this is not yours to borrow" lock
"well that's gonna be shimable"
I feel like over the years I've learned something from LPL 😉
Learning security flaws and how to bypass them by osmosis.
I *KNEW* shimming was ONE of the ways just seeing the lock and the notches for the "dogs" on the shackle
Yeah seeing the shape of the notches was a dead giveaway. It makes it v quick and easy to snap into place without needing the key, which makes it user friendly I suppose.

He hasn’t said the thing in a while!
Like when the title of the movie is in the movie. FG.
"Maximum security" - LPL opens it in 20 seconds with shims.
Less than that if he weren't educating us.
I guess it at least needs 2 shims not one... That's better than some locks that need only one
It's just the maximum of their security, give them some credit...
@@profosist LOL Credit!?!? I wouldn't give them $1.
They said "maximum weather, pick, and pry resistance." Shims are not any of these things, so they're in the clear. 👌
Why does this gives me so much pleasure to watch

Welcome back.
The pick of legend has returned! Rejoice!
Shimming came to mind the second I laid eyes on this lock. Was not disappointed.
" attaching a propane cylinder to your grill" is the meanest offense to a lock
Thanks for demonstrating.
This was a dozen April fools videos in one.
Bravo good sir!!!

Great video and very informative.
Thanks for sharing.

@andersjjensen damn. You are correct, they probably are subscribers to LPL
i always enjoy your presentations... too bad my dexterity cant even come close to the facility you have developed with those locks....
We Missed U
Missed you!
The logo on the lock body is cool as hell.
love how easy you make it look, keep up the good work.
I'd love to hear how Bosnian Bill is getting on. Each time that tool gets brought out I remember a legend of the community that retired from youtube to help out those in need.
This man is a national treasure
I happy he still says the pick that bosnian Bill and i made. He could easily have dropped it to promote his webshop item. Respect!
CI doesn't sell the disc detainer pick as I recall. They licensed it to Sparrows.
Only 32 days away from April 1st 😁 Always look forward to those vids!
Always a pleasure seeing "the pick that BosnianBill and I made"!
Beautifully polished though 😁
It’s always a good day when the pick that LPL and Bosnian Bill made comes out to play. Miss ya Bill, hope you’re doing well.
My first thought when seeing the thumbnail was "shims". I have never picked a lock in my life. I must be learning here.
When I bought my house last year I installed a "Zinc Safety Hasp" and use a cheap Master lock on the out building my lawnmower and a few garden tools are in. It wasn't until after I installed it that I noticed that when they put the doors on the outbuilding they installed the hinges on the outside of the doors.

RIP Bill you will always be loved
He's not dead, so using RIP is inappropriate as hell.
@eidodk well excuse me I thought he was
"The pick" is back!
He said the thing!!
"Handy for locking a propane bottle to a grill" I wonder if Hank sells these at Strickland Propane ?
Thank you for making your videos! Challenge: design & prototype your own Locks for scrutiny-- will they be too expensive to mass manufacture?
Wow, two different defeats in just over 3 minutes…that’s gotta be a record 😊
You already know when LPL's video is only 3 minutes long, it's over for that lock company.
but masterlock still exist somehow
3 minutes made me think it was a decent lock, but it turned out to contain 3 flaws in that time.
I don’t know. Only 2 vulnerabilities by LPL doesn’t seem so bad. He’s just that good.
"...that BosnianBill and I made." AH... sweet words, i've missed you.
I do like how they did the lettering, that looks pretty cool.
"I believe it's a zero cut"... keys right there.
I like this addition.. when is this particular lock a good option.. Holding a barndoor closed.. keeping a propane bottle closed..
While some locks will get the label : perfect paper-weight.. there are some mediocre locks that can still serve a purpose.
I'd use that lock to keep a tool chest secured on a trailer while transporting it, but that's it. Gotta hook the chains somewhere.
I don't know if its my middle age or the fact LPL has been away, but I had completely forgotten about shims.
Mind you, in the meantime I have been watching *Forgotten Weapons* and my mechanical mind is now full of locking lugs, bolt carriers, firing pins and return springs, instead.
I just heard some comforting words...
Wow... I'LL think of your picking forever 😅
Lockpickinglawyer is the real GOAT of ASMR
You don't know what ASMR means. Look it up.
I don't need to.
I can't be the only one who finds his voice soothing and relaxing.
I like the addition of what the lock should be used for. It gives a better idea than high/low security for anyone like me who's not familiar with security.
Good for attaching a propane cylinder to your grill. Brilliant. The manufacturer should put that on the packaging.
Didn’t watch for a while. Saw this disc core. Wondered what pick will be used. No disappointment there 💪💪
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I knew the shims were coming out
Use only 316 stainless on any outside lock. 304 is for appliances... You rock LPL
Above average build quality, below average security. I rolled my eyes when the shims came out. _"Too bad, so sad!"_
Good that you're back!
Please review the Hiplock bike locks. Thanks a lot for your recommendations!
LPL makes sure to give credit to Bill every single time
Incredible that lock companies still makes locks that can be shimmed open just like that.
Should straight up be illegal to call it a lock if it can be shimmed...
I miss BosnianBill. I hope he is doing well. Thank you for the content.
I think I’ll choose something a little less than $85 for my low security lock needs. Thanks for the review.

1:35 I really miss Bill. I hope he and his loved ones are well.
I really like that you gave appropriate use case examples for the lock
LPL: "disc detainer core"
Viewers: *go wild*
LPL's video makes it sound like this lock should be available at a 'dollar' store 🤣
When I was a kid, I'd open that style of lock by sliding the lock all the way up the shackle then slide it down quickly. The locking pawl couldn't catch in the shackle quick enough. This more modern lock probably has stronger springs that lock quicker...

"Above average build quality" and "some low security outdoor application" is pretty good praise compared to what most locks on this channel get.
It is so hard to make content and get sponsorship for creators with integrity.
