I think he was just teasing. ...and advertising Covertinstruments picks at the same time. Maybe he should send Masterlock a full set as a complimentary advisory.
Never picked a lock in my life. Prretty sure I could get this pile of manure open in less than 30 seconds using something I found lying around in my kitchen.
I actually managed to get a local tool store to get rid of all their Masterlock branded locks after I showed a couple of LPL videos to the manager of the store attached to their head office. They were selling a couple of Masterlocks identical to models in the videos and were shocked that they could be opened with just a shim, rake or comb attack.
I wonder if this could be forced upon them. If stores/chains could be legally compelled to remove crap products or be held responsible for knowingly selling physical security products that have glaring vulnerabilities that have existed for many decades. Basically, serve them with a cease and desist order. Or maybe serve Master Lock with the cease and desist order.
That sounds like it would be a good April Fool's Day video. Some clever editing could make that work, and he has a history of doing funny/ inuendo filled April Fool's Day videos.
The back of the single pin working so fast was so amusing to LPL that he let out a small chuckle like a little kid. Proof, if nothing else, that this lock is so bad it actually made him laugh.
I'd love to see LPL speedrun opening a bucket of masterlock locks. Could even make a charity event out of it with people pledging a certain amount per lock he picks in a given time frame lmao
My high school provided us with MasterLock combination locks for our lockers. They also provided us a stern warning against losing or failing to remember our combinations because of yadda yadda yadda. You could just run your belt through the shackle and pull down, opened every time.
At our schools when I was growing up, if somebody lost the combination, or the administration had to get into a locker, the custodian would come with an iron bar and hammer, and place the bar atop the lock, strike it with a hammer, and basically the shackle would open.
@@five-toedslothbear4051 our school just kept a file cabinet with each lock (they were numbered) and the combo to it. Been using the same locks since 78. I remember because Hartman (algebra teacher I had) knew damn near the combo for every one of them in top hallways. Said every year he has to go through and reopen them in the summer, and has to look up the combo everytime someone forgets theirs. He asked like 6 of us in class “what’s the number on your lock?” “371” “oh the combos 12-32-16” and the mf was right. He’s a cool guy tbh miss him now.
They were pretty secure back in the day. The problem is that the design hasn't changed in over a century. The only Master Lock that I would say is pick resistant today would be this weird old one I found in my grandfathers shed. It's a warded lock with a very narrow, angular keyway and ridiculously heavy spring; especially for being 50-80 years old.
Things that I would trust more than a Master Lock: 1. That Nigerian Prince that wants to send us money 2. Somalian tap water 3. Get rich schemes involving pyramiding (Will add more later).
I think that Master has found its niche. Thanks to LPL, aspiring lockpickers buy Master locks as their first lock to practice on. You can practice on so many different basic techniques on these
I actually appreciate what Master Lock does. Whenever someone leaves a lock on a gate or door on my property, I have a really easy time removing it. I don't need any special tools or skills. I've popped one open tapping its side with a hammer. Another agreed to open when I pried it apart with a wrench. I've never had to get or make a shim or rake, but it's nice to know master lock provided that as an option. If people splurged a bit on the locks they accidentally left behind, I'd have a much rougher time cleaning up after them.
Just when Master Lock thought that they got lucky with a long video, it just the large number of ways it fails to secure anything but how easy their products can be defeated
LPL did a video on a Master brand LOTO lock, used to lock the On/Off switch on machines in order to prevent them from being started while being worked on by maintenance people. Apparently that lock had a surprisingly good core... which is ironic since the security requirements for LOTO are not high.
@@kaasmeester5903 the LOTO locks have more pins than the standard padlocks, so there is less chance of accidentally getting matching keys. but there are still no anti-pick features.
@@kaasmeester5903That lock out / tag out makes no sense to have a six pin core, except perhaps a situation where a lot of different key patterns are needed. The lock body is plastic to boot. I figure maybe the lock is made that way to fulfill some arcane US GSA procurement contract specification. Uncle Sam can be like that. 😊
I think Masterlock only still exists because through the videos of LPL and others here on the platform, new lockpickers are curious whether these are really so bad and buy them to test for themselfs xD
I love the (Also, Sky is Blue) in the title. Whenever I see an LPL video with Master Lock in the title, I look forward to seeing the number of ways he can get in.
You know you're gonna witness a murder when he says "one more time just to show it is not a fluke" and there's still two thirds of the video left to go
Sky is colorless, but depending on the amount of steam in it and the thickness of it it can bend different light wavelengths with varying effectiveness resulting in it appearing as blue most of the time during the day, but going up the rainbow scale as the sun sets, which means light traveling through thicker layer of air before reaching our eyes, all the way to wavelengths appearing to us as red. In the absence of meaningful light source, for example during a night it appears properly as fully transparent allowing us to see the darkness of space.
I saw you started with single pin picking and then realized it's great to show which locks a beginner can play with. I just knew you could probably jam a stick into that keyway and it would open. I think I might get that beginner set and see what it's like as I just got to keep the lock from my storage unit and it encouraged me to why not challenge myself.
"As long as people keep buying these things..." I've tried to find other locks to buy in Colorado. I had a customer that loaded a moving truck to go to LA from Denver and needed to lock the back gate. Knowing what's available at Orange, Blue, and Ace, (Master or worse) I went to 3 independent locksmiths looking for better. Not one had anything other than Master. When I told them how bad Master was, they looked at me like I'm the first one who's ever complained. I don't think it's possible to get anything else on short notice.
This is a good reminder, makes me look around and see how many Master locks are on the place. I have a couple very similar to the one shown; they came as “security” pins for a gate opener. At work, we always used Best, with 5 (old) or 6 pin cores.
Ah yes, masterlock. The best novice practice lock manufacturer in the world. The best thing is the variety of attacks and improvisations you can practice with one.

That is what got me, I was like wow when he used the back of the pick
Using correct tool in a wrong way and still got it open, that was unexpected.
(Proceeds to kill it some more)
I believe BosnianBill used to call that "bitch-picking".
It died the instant they put the Master logo on.
A master key unlocks anything, a Master Lock is unlocked by anything.
Any pick, used either way, opens a Masterlock
Thinking of universal donors and universal recipients?
Why didn't I ever think of this before ? It makes so much sense.
@@ZER-ls4gjexactly! Lost your masterkey for opening anything? Well have we got the lock for you! 😁
LPL had to make sure the video doesn't end up on yt shorts I guess..
"But given that it's made by Master Lock, we all know the answer to that." LPL throws more shade than a total solar eclipse.
Perfect!
Master Lock hasn't seen the sun in years
Fill up the pool, LPL's back and it's dunking time
Idk, if ever a lock was gonna accidentally open itself, I'd expect it to be a MasterLock
ow call the burn ward. that was third degree.
Starting with an actual pick rather than a rake, comb or shim... a rare privilege for a Master lock.
He then proceeds to rake it with the pick to cancel that out
He was going easy before the fatal blows.
I was waiting to see if the shims would come out next😂😂😂
and then the lock gave up before the pick was completed
I think he was just teasing. ...and advertising Covertinstruments picks at the same time. Maybe he should send Masterlock a full set as a complimentary advisory.
1 Minute 20 Seconds was all it took to pick it five times, with four different methods.
That's a feat only a Master Lock can achieve.

Master Lock never fails to make a person feel like a master lock picker.
I never said I was a MASTER lock picker... but a MASTER LOCK picker!
Pretty sure a decent chunk of their sales are beginner lockpicker buying their first training lock by now :D
This comment is underrated for the cleverness of its wordplay

Master lock never fails to make their locks easy to pick
They mastered it
Master UNlock*
It's not easy to pick ... its easy to open ... they just give you options in case you lose the useless key.
Masterlock, where every thin piece of metal is a master key!
I made a master key with a nail.
It is an universal lock, compatible with all picking tools! No one else can make a product so versatile.
Master Lock is to locks what master keys are to keys.
At this point, Masterlock could probably falsely claim their locks are voice activated and they'll end up still being right.
I opened one by swearing at it.
Okay I smacked it against the shed door at the same time as the key wasn’t working.
LPL could FusRohDah the lock and it'll probably open
Yeah, it's really convenient! If you have a Masterlock, all you have to say is "This is the LockPickingLawyer and..." and it will just open right up!
@@foogod4237 That sure is a lot easier to say than, "My name is Werner Brandeis, my voice is my passport, verify me."
The rarely-used sneer attack is highly effective!
Master lock has been keeping honest people honest without inconveniencing dishonest people, for a hundred years!
I think the packaging of this lock was harder to open then the lock itself. 😊
Yup, because retail stores don't like people stealing their stuff. Once you buy it and use it to secure your stuff, it's your problem.
If they put the lock in clamshell packaging, that'd just be an insult at this level :)
I always like to see him struggle a little with the packaging.
And more dangerous, them clamshell packages can fight back.

That little laugh when he rakes it open with the flat back of a pick made my day. He knew it would work but was still surprised how easy it did so.
Thanks for that, I missed it the first time around.
I swear, one of these days, LPL will pick up a Masterlock, sneeze, and it'll fall open in his hands.
That sounds like it would be a good April Fool's Day video. Some clever editing could make that work, and he has a history of doing funny/ inuendo filled April Fool's Day videos.
Given the apparent lack of quality from Master Lock, perhaps opening it with a fart would be more appropriate...? 🤔
*stares at lock and it opens without being touched*
That could happen to anyone. Just a feature of any master lock
Tensions the lock in preparation of picking it, and it just admits defeat and opens immediately.
I've always wanted to make a Skyrim mod that makes every "Master" rated lock open instantly
That would be awesome.
LPL sneezes once and Master Locks around the globe all pop right open. He sneezes a second time to prove it's not a fluke.
"sneezes a second time to prove it's not a fluke ". And it's snot. Uh, sorry, typo - it's not.
And then the locks spontaneously exploded
I bet locks would also open around the world if he polished the lock as if it were Alladin's lamp.
“This is as bad as it gets.” Is this a new marketing slogan for Master Lock? You know, truth in advertising and all that nonsense.
"The quality you've learned to expect from us" - MasterLock Marketing dept
Yay - susceptible to combing, raking, AND (new to me) flat raking!
Probably can be zipped too.

MasterLock never disappoints. Very consistent quality 😁
Reminds me of one of my favorite Demotivators: Consistency - It’s only a virtue if you’re consistently *good*. 😂
An example of "High precision, low accuracy." Very consistent, but completely misses the goal of security
The shade thrown is pure gold.

Make it a dozen buckets or it's not interesting/long enough. Also I want to conscript Master to donate 1000$ per lock opened in less then 10 sec.

not a good way, but a way
Well, it's a MasterLock, so did better than I expected.
How is that even possible? Because it don't fall into pieces instantly? 😁
Other attack vectors: breathing on it heavily, glaring at it for a few seconds, Whispering disapproving comments down the keyway 😅
I just wake up and LPL is already roasting Master Lock 😂
The way he gives the prying tool a wiggle when he put it in tells me that he was half expecting the lock to open 🤣
I was afraid for a second there he was going to pick it with the tensioning tool alone the way he wiggled it a tad.
