I may have watched too many Mc Nally shorts before bed, I was expecting a sharp impact as well since the brass one looks a bit like a Master(un)lock 605
Factory 1, "We'll make it with this flaw, you make it that flaw". Factory 2, "Good idea, the thief will have to carry 2 covert instruments. Keep'em guessing ". Both factories chuckle, shake hands, part ways.
I was 100% expecting LPL to say: "These are Hermex sliding padlocks... They can be opened with Hermex sliding padlocks" followed by him banging them together McNally style to open them.
after years of lockpicking, it would be pretty boring doing the same little things all over again. Everyone does their locks down, and he could basically open anything. I guess he is starting to work on bank doors, an advanced safe system, and probably hacking digital doors, since that could be thenically be calling lockpicking 😂
Honestly, for once it's a redeemable situation. If the two factories compare notes, they can borrow each other's solution to their flaws. Only problem is that those are probably not the ONLY flaws.
Might be that Hermex is just buying up Chinese locks and having their name slapped on it. They'd have zero input into the design and manufacture, they'd just be a branded reseller. It's an old practice.
I purchased the beginner set from Covert Instruments a few days ago. It arrived today and I picked my first lock in about 30mins. Showed my 14 year old daughter and she picked her first lock in about 15 mins. Great videos!!!!
Glad I'm not the only one. My teen daughter has started besting my times as well. Talk about a proud moment, that's almost as good as when the kids realize they can change the toilet paper!
These look as safe as the lock that came with my 6 year olds princess diary. I don't read the diary, I just wanted to see how good a kids tiny lock is. It can be opened with a hex key. So about the same as these ones here.
That was exactly my thinking, both factories should have the correct pantone colour for their card backs. Absolutely mad that they're such different shades of yellow
What's the problem with different shades/colors - it's different products! (One is 60 mm, the other is 75 mm, and they are made from different materials.) The big problem is that both locks have laughable flaws.
@@runeodin7237 Because real brands have very specific colours they associate with. You won't find green DeWalt tools, or a blue CVS Pharmacy logo, because the particular yellow and red is part of their brand identity. If not even a registered trademark. Given that they don't care for stuff though in Econ 101 class, it's no wonder they completely dropped the ball on actually making a semi-decent product.
Hey LPL would you ever consider releasing a book, a sort of pocket guide of (X) lock, type, layout, build, materials, blown up images of it disassembled a few common attacks it is susceptible to and your comments. Basically one of your videos on a page. Love the channel, and have learned alot from you. Merry Christmas.
Masterlock finally found a way to prevent LPL to emberras them any further: a hitman. Let's hope LPL is on an amazing vacation with his family and will return soon :)
Well, if the current trends are anything to go by, he is either preparing his 4 hour "I'm not a plagiarist" video, has fled CZcams because he actually did actually plagiarize all his lock picks from other indie lock pickers, or he has just decided to retire. Other thought. He found a lock he couldn't beat and is still working on it. Hopefully, that is the case, so we can all have security again.
I bought a lock once…it was in 4th grade when the school let us start riding are bikes to school. It was one of the barrel locks with a four digit code. We sat there at lunch and we all took turns opening it without knowing the combination. Took 4th graders about 5 mins a try to open it. That was back in about 1977. I have a bike lock now called my apartment. Which has fire SaFtY doors so no security other than the town I live in is an old folks retirement village with a negative crime rate. BeWell and StaySafe Everyone ✌️💚🖖
This channel has added to my daily amusement. All I have to do is go for walk around any local self storage facility and have a quick look at the locks on the units!
This guy is great. Not gonna lie, aI go straight to his videos when I am in a bad mood. Listening to him talk while destroying any lock I see in the video is absolutely therapeutic lol. Definitely my modern day hero lol😂😂😂😂
Can you throw locks that you like in a playlist or on your website? I get hesitating to endorse locks when no lock is perfect, but highlighting a few that make sense within their usecase and perform without issue would be more valuable than dunking on the many, many locks that do not. A "Hall of fame" playlist would go hard.
I'm mostly astonished there are so many different locks out there. While it wouldn't be as entertaining, it might be easier if LPL showed us locks that are worth our time vs ones that aren't - lol. At this point I'm led to believe that the only secure 'lock' is to weld shut my doors and safety boxes... which may be the actual point.

Anyone else reckon LPL is getting less subtle with his criticisms? Loving the savagery myself.
He's fed up😂
@@s.s.1810yes, gentle chiding has got nowhere let's see if more forthright criticism produces any results.
in 10 years this channel will fight Gordon Ramsey verbally and win
he probably knows that he is setting industry standards...so he shouldn't mince words
Oh I love his honesty. It's how everything should be criticized
Two locks, each picked twice, an intro, outro, all in 2 minutes. The man is unstoppable!
I may have watched too many Mc Nally shorts before bed, I was expecting a sharp impact as well since the brass one looks a bit like a Master(un)lock 605
@@scraverX LPL probably didn't try, because the video may have increased in length to 2 minutes and 30 seconds!?!?
🤔@@61rampy65
Surely the next stop is opening a lock by looking sternly at it? Or has he already done that with a Master lock?
Neither of them were picked. They weren't worthy of the honor.
Factory 1, "We'll make it with this flaw, you make it that flaw". Factory 2, "Good idea, the thief will have to carry 2 covert instruments. Keep'em guessing ". Both factories chuckle, shake hands, part ways.
In fact they are brothers who own each factory.
This bothers me...@@dragade101
A ploy by LPL himself to sell more tools.
Poor thief, will have to carry extra 30 grams of metal and spend extra 8 seconds of their precious time
1:30 I like that it literally took him longer to close it again than picking it open...
I think that was a fluke
My thoughts exactly =)
This.
Hoping that someday Fluke Instruments will make a lock so we can hear LPL say "Well, that WAS a fluke."
I don't get it. If it's a double entendre, what would be the "fluke" or accident?
@@jej3451it wasn't, you're reading too much into it
@@monomono9627 I think he's gotten back with Debbie Downer again. They said it wouldn't last...
So long as he says 'fluke' in his reviews, my 'fluke' drinking game continues and I get a taste.
That 75mm lock in this video's the right color to be a Fluke!
I was 100% expecting LPL to say:
"These are Hermex sliding padlocks... They can be opened with Hermex sliding padlocks"
followed by him banging them together McNally style to open them.
Well, since there are locks that can be opened with a hammer, it should be possible to simply use another lock instead.
I think LPL has found an unpickable lock
LPL Hope everything is okay in your life miss your weekly content.

😂
In the Spanish-to-English dictionary, Hermex is translated to Masterlock.
🤣
🤣
Thank you. This was my best belly laugh for the day 😂😂😂
🤣🤣 this made my day 😂
Really? Lol
Honestly, for once it's a redeemable situation. If the two factories compare notes, they can borrow each other's solution to their flaws.
Only problem is that those are probably not the ONLY flaws.
I mean, he didn't even try to rake them... my gut feeling is there other low-skill attacks available t o them.
What tends to happen in that case is you get both flaws in both products.
And produce a lock with both
@@PlatypusVomit Exactly, they'd compare notes and both copy the other's cost-saving shortcuts that led to the flaws.
@@LoadstoneKnight More likely version two can be combed and bypassed. Maybe throw in easily bumped for good measure.
crazy that two of basically the same locks with a 15 mm size difference have such different flaws
Might be that Hermex is just buying up Chinese locks and having their name slapped on it. They'd have zero input into the design and manufacture, they'd just be a branded reseller. It's an old practice.
My newborn is trans
@@TransKidsMafiaWell, pray to God to save him from this demonic deception! 🙏
another aprl 1st vid where a size difference results in a change of approach ?
If you look at the security rating, the first lock is a Medium and the second is a High, so perhaps there is some design difference.
Master lock breaths a sigh of relief, "We are not the worst".
Have you not watched very much of this channel or something? 😀
Not today, anyway.
Master has a similar lock with the exact same flaw.
Missing you and hope you and your family are well
Hope the LPL gets back soon! Love these videos!
Hey LPL, hope you’re happily taking a break and having a great time with your family. Can’t wait to see your new videos!
He got "LOCKED UP".
@@scottyTy he would just pick the lock and walk out
"These flaws have been known to _security professionals_ for decades."
The truth is the sharpest weapon.
I think he is locked out of his house
😂😂😂
It took longer to lock again than it did to pick it!
Hello Mr. LPL? Are you alright? Long time no posts… we miss you.
McNally picked up the slack.
Just came to this video to ask that...
he is to busy with his main channel "JerryRigEverything" xD
I purchased the beginner set from Covert Instruments a few days ago. It arrived today and I picked my first lock in about 30mins. Showed my 14 year old daughter and she picked her first lock in about 15 mins. Great videos!!!!
Glad I'm not the only one. My teen daughter has started besting my times as well. Talk about a proud moment, that's almost as good as when the kids realize they can change the toilet paper!
@@nated3310 😆
They can change the toilet paper, but have they also learned to put the empty core in the trash? Mine haven't! 🤯😂
These look as safe as the lock that came with my 6 year olds princess diary. I don't read the diary, I just wanted to see how good a kids tiny lock is. It can be opened with a hex key.
So about the same as these ones here.
I remember those! you can also open them with the bottom part of a hair clip . I always lost the keys, so I had to open them
I think these are worse: You still need a key to get into the diary lock, even if it's not the one they meant.
@@teh-maxh The comb pick is as much of a key as a hex wrench or bent paperclip.
I fear Masterlock's lawyers or hitmen finally found him.
LPL is my favourite comedy channel 😂😂😂
Unbelievable and inexcusable flaws in these locks 🔐 once again 😞
Guys i think the Master Lock ninjas have got to him💀
It would be so ironic and hilarious if LPL created a lock manufacturing company called 'Fluke.'
LPL might just be taking a vacation. Or maybe he's out there doing actual lawyer things.
We miss you LPL
you have such a nice and calming voice.
I would love to see an updated video on your recommendation for bicycle/ebike locks.
I love it when a lock takes longer to open with the key than it takes to pick/bypass.
At least the yellow one could be used as a fidget toy. Insert tool, click and the lock mechanism springs all the way out.
Lock, and do it all again. 😂
I bet the other one has the same "Fidget" security grade.
As i binge these videos, you upload. I am blessed.
LOL I FREAKING LOVE THESE. Thank you for taking the time and effort into giving us great content. I appreciate it(you).
HOPE ALL IS WELL LPL
We need more of your 10+ minute videos. I really enjoy you collaborating with others and when you build or show new tools.
Just purchased a big order from covert instruments love everything you do I am starting to learn
No Valentines Day video.. is everything ok?
In case you don't up load between now and then, Merry Christmas LPL! Your videos always make me smile
I liked how the 75mm one was actually harder to lock than to open.
Thanks for making this video. I am from México and sell these locks 😂. It's funny to see you with them
So now you know you re screwing people
When the company doesn't care even to color match their prints, it's no wonder that they don't care about 2 century old security flaws.
That was exactly my thinking, both factories should have the correct pantone colour for their card backs. Absolutely mad that they're such different shades of yellow

With the yellow and black packaging, I can see how some might think it was a Fluke.
"Obviously building secure products is not a priority". Savage and brutal, love it.
Top of the season LPL and to the Misses cheers
It's been a long time since I have seen new LPL videos. Is he taking a vacation or illness?
Still waiting the comeback of Mr. LPL !
Hey LPL would you ever consider releasing a book, a sort of pocket guide of (X) lock, type, layout, build, materials, blown up images of it disassembled a few common attacks it is susceptible to and your comments. Basically one of your videos on a page.
Love the channel, and have learned alot from you. Merry Christmas.
That would be badass.
“No excuse” thanks LPL for setting culpability onto the manufacturer and their parent company.
Are there going to be any new LPL videos, or has LockPickingLawyer joined the many who have chosen to retire their YT channels in 2024?
Guys I think master lock got to him
He's probably focusing on the Covert Instruments business side of things.
@@CinedyneFilmsshould we ask Mcnally?
@@owojohnson1115 Thats a good idea
Merry 🎄 to you and Mrs lawyer ❤
we got blessed with two videos in one!
Hope you’re doing well my friend. Miss you!
It’s been 3 weeks since LPL posted, hopefully Hermex didn’t do him harm.
Masterlock finally found a way to prevent LPL to emberras them any further: a hitman.
Let's hope LPL is on an amazing vacation with his family and will return soon :)
Well, if the current trends are anything to go by, he is either preparing his 4 hour "I'm not a plagiarist" video, has fled CZcams because he actually did actually plagiarize all his lock picks from other indie lock pickers, or he has just decided to retire.

@@GrantGabel it'd be funny to see someone accuse LPL of being a plagiarist
My man not only opened both locks twice in 2 minutes, he still had time to explain the flaws.
thanks for this demonstration, cheers
Maybe I scratch the name of my locks to make sure the thief’s can’t google that thing on CZcams.
It levels up the security with at least one step.
The thief's what?
Masterlock is getting a run for their money, Hermex is the new contender!

Literally the comment I was looking for in the place I figured it'd be in! 😎
@@midiwallwell its been a very long time... i need my LPL fix.. i allready go blieppp bleeep bllbblll bllmhhhbllmm 🥴🥴🥴
Here's hoping you had a good break and will be back soon 👍
This channel has added to my daily amusement. All I have to do is go for walk around any local self storage facility and have a quick look at the locks on the units!
Storage facilities are basically like gym lockers, at least with the kinds of locks that people place on their units x.x
Would love to see a video on how you store/protect your lock collection, would be really cool to see how it’s organized.
Hope all is well lpl
Masterlock: Let's buy this company, their locks have a decent enough security level.
Today I picked my first lock, bought me a set and just went for it. Thanks for this
Well done, as usual😊
short video, we all know what that means :D
I'm starting to see that the rake pick is actually a master key to some of these company's locks 😂😂😂
I love your videos LPL. from Kenya
Great video!
Hope Lpl is ok
Hey, LPL,
where are you? Is everything all right?
You used to upload pretty frequently and now it's been a while... hope you're alright ❤️
Miss you king
Where is Mr. LPL ? One month without picks !
Killed by MasterLock assassins?
Could you show us your process of going through an unknown lock to find these flaws? I think that would make for a long yet interesting video
Great suggestion. LPL please do it
This guy is great. Not gonna lie, aI go straight to his videos when I am in a bad mood. Listening to him talk while destroying any lock I see in the video is absolutely therapeutic lol. Definitely my modern day hero lol😂😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing brother
Just wanted to say merry Christmas and a happy new year
God bless you and your's k😁🇨🇦😁🇨🇦😁🇨🇦😁🇨🇦👍
Just saying
I really wish CZcams had a laugh button instead of a Like button... too funny
In addition to a like button. 😋
we also need number buttons to be able to "click on one, little click on two", ...
And don't forget to rake the LIKE button
@@cheeseparis1 🤣 The next Covert tools will have an interface to pick the like button.
No valentine video! Looks like LPL is toast. RIP LPL.
Something must be up - I'm missing that innuendo filled valentines video.
Didn't get any of your videos for months. Had to search you. Yes I'm subscibed.
Looking forward to lock of the year awards, kind of a buyers guide of sorts
More than one month without uploading a video, hope LPL is ok. :/

Awesome quality control!😂
MASTER LOCK can breathe again !
There is a worse lock company out there!😊
I'm worried about him, just let us know you're ok
Astonishing!
***sigh***
Thanks for the vidja.
Peaceful Skies.
RIP LockPickingLawyer. My favorite youtuber. Will be missed.
Where is LPL?????????????????????????
yt ad revenue is non-existent in January. might be taking a break?
This man is doing the Lord's work.😌
That's ridiculous. I hope these companies watch this.
is the lock picking lawayer okay been awhile

remember, the name of the channel is "Lock PICKING Lawyer" not "Lock RECOMMENDING Lawyer"
Top quality products
Watching your videos makes me realize that not a lot of companies actually makes an effort to make decent and secure locks.
I'm the history of LPL, has it ever been a fluke? I didn't think so.
