@@KasparOnTube Can't vouch for the USSR specifically, but normally there would be no such thing as a "central heating system" in a commie apartment block - you just got the warm water / steam piped straight in from a central station that heated an entire neighborhood.
@@AttilaAsztalos well... :) my comment was mostly just joke. but on the other hand it was not fictional story - hot water from boiler house typically do not go to your wall mounted central heating radiator directly - not in (ex-)soviet union not anywhere else in any large scale centralized heating systems - otherwise messing something up in one apartment in one house would have consequences for the whole city - so there are utility room for heat exchanger in almost every big commieblock house with various valves and stuff to regulate room temperatures and flow of hot water and so on.

Had one yesterday that I wasn't sure about. Kept picking what seemed like everything until it was in the false set of it's life. Ended up with a similar problem. The locking bolt was hung up and wouldn't move, but the core was "picked" A slight addition of a screwdriver as a turning tool and boom. Lock open.

My grandma had exactly this one locking her garage, where my family used to store our bicycles and other things. I couldn't unlock this one (on my first try) even with the key in hand.
lol noob, ever since i was a kid, i always try both ways. i don't give up after 1 try, i do it quickly tho. i stick the key in and gently shake it and turn both ways, cuz some locks jam and you need to move it back and forth to shake it loose, while some locks .. as you can see .. turn the other way, some also have a spring that pushes it back if you let go of the key. i also had a lock that spit the key out if you didn't hold it .. not sure why/how that worked. i think it was special lock, cuz people kept forgetting the key in it (it was outer door in apartment building). so when you left key in it, then it spits it out as soon as you let go of it.
You see, this lock made according to standards, as paperwork says (ОСТ 21-44-80 "Padlocks. General technical conditions"). These standards usually very logical. If you want to lock or close something, you turn clockwise. If you want to unlock or open, you turn anticlockwise. As with screws. "For locking utility rooms" - just means it is the lowest (1st out of four) security class lock.
_"For locking utility rooms - ... the lowest (...) security class lock"_ - exactly. In other words, it's like a 1.5 m/ 5 ft picket fence around your property - not insurmountable obstacle, but still good enough to discourage casual would-be trespasser. Yes, it can be easily overcome by anyone with a bit of determination, but [it is still] much cheaper than 5 m/ 15 ft reinforced concrete wall with shiny concertina ("energized" by high voltage) on top of it. And then there's the "defence vs hazard" match - a stout oak stick may not be the best personal weapon available but it's still good enough against an aggressive dog (or "cruising for bruising" knife-wielding drunkard). No need for $5000 machine gun and armour-piercing incendiary ammo in either case. PS: and then there are even lower "security" padlocks - ones opened not with a key but [with] a -round- piece of metal tube with a triangular or square opening [formed] at one end, which is inserted into a recess on the padlock to turn a matching triangular or square peg. These are used for all sort of "cabinets" holding utility meters or electricity connectors - and their job is to prevent casual mischief or unintentional interaction with these.
I like that there is truth in advertising. This is a cheap lock to keep people from accidently going into a utility room. You know exactly what you are getting.
Yet the lock is theatrically large, comically large. Even a crappy tiny Master Lock #2 is going to be more secure, even with one fewer pins, since it won't be able to be melted off with a small handheld propane torch or cut off with a bare hacksaw blade with tape wrapped around as an improvised handle.
@@Jehty_ They make longer shackles for smallish locks. A smaller lock is much easier for the custodian of the locks to deal with in large numbers, particularly if having to travel around with replacements to potentially use if locks have been defeated or lost.
Цена отпечатывалась прямо на заводе на абсолютно всех предметах, которые производились в СССР, либо делался специальный "вкладыш", где она также была указана. Это было очень значительным преимуществом, когда товар доходил до покупателя без мошейнической наценки P.S. Ничего не имею против капитализма, но современные наценки в 50%+ от себестоимости товара явно вредят покупателям)
It should also include the percentage of the price that is siphoned off for corruption- let's just say 90%+ I can imagine instead of imported and local ingredients printed, a corruption percentage is stamped in reading something like, "At least 90% of the purchase price is for corrupt purposes."
lol I was just imagining LPL being like "Oh fuq it's not opening! my entire reputation is on the line what am I gonna dooo!!!! ...oh I just needed to turn it the other way"
As a person who lived in Russiafor most of my life and had seen a lot of locks exactly like that i could say that you're lucky that you got a lock that seem to be never used and was stored properly. As these ones are getting used fro real they became more and more pick-resistant automatically: the core is made of something soft and it's wearing out fast, and something inside got rusty eventually (maybe teh springs), so after maybe 5 years to open it beside the key you'll also need a penetrating lube and a pliers to turn the key. Oh, and the lighter or candle, if it's winter. Lockpicking? Pff, no chance!
It's pretty much the only way I can see to make something pick resistant after watching this channel for years. It reminds me of when the dude from Stuff Made Here tried his hand at making an unpickable lock.
unlike western countries today, possession of lockpicking tools in USSR was severely punished so that was not an important threat vector. as explained by LPL on a previous video.
Opening direction is important. My parents bought a house that had non-keyed deadbolts on the exterior doors. Thus, when locked, the door couldn't be non destructively opened from the outside at all. Someone attempted a break-in by breaking the window. He had no trouble reaching in and unlocking the "doorknob lock" and the keyed deadbolt, (not double cylinder, but just a lever on the inside) but he couldn't get the non keyed deadbolts to retract. They turned opposite of the way you'd expect. They turned clockwise to retract (release) Also, the knobs would keep turning once the deabolt was retracted or extended. They almost felt like they were broken. I'm guessing in his nervous state, he couldn't think of trying the opposite direction. He kept trying until he saw the police cars. (i was home, watching him. I decided a confrontation wasn't desireable for many reasons.) He ran away, and I was surprised a police officer was able to catch him in a foot pursuit. I used to hate those deadbolts, because they were usually locked, which meant I couldn't get in, and had to walk around. That day, I gained an appreciation for them.
A 'torch'? That's what we call the thing you call a 'flashlight'. I think you mean 'blow torch'... A torch just shines light on things. Oh, after watching the video, maybe you do mean 'torch'....
Got me an old Hurd padlock from the locksmith I'm apprenticed under as a challenge, said he had out for years and couldn't get it open, after a quick Google and noticing older models turned counterclockwise I had put open in a few minutes. After that it turned out it was super easy with a simple range rake, 2 seconds open every time. I try picking both directions now IF it feels like nothing is binding at all going clockwise. Springyness everywhere after only one click confused the shit outta me for a good while
If I remember correct they made them so if a fire or any emergency happened and they fire fighters need to open it it would take one hit from a fireman's hammer/pick and it would brake open, I was told they were used on electrical cabinets what we call fuse boxes in the US I could have this mixed with a different lock.
Hey LPL - after a year or so of watching, you’ve finally gotten me hooked, but I am quickly accumulating too much gear to keep track of. Would you mind showing us the various things you use to store all your tools and locks/cylinders?
Picking backwards. Reminds me of a story: During WWII, all British flight personnel were issued a small map of Europe, printed onto silk, and folded up and placed inside a brass button on their uniform coat. To help hide the map from the Germans, the button had a left handed thread. And despite capturing thousands of airmen during the war, the Germans never found one of these maps.
I had an old padlock in for service once, I believe it was Yale. problem was "lock won't open", i was in GREAT shape and had to original keys. It took me a few minutes to accidentally discover, there was nothing wrong with it .. the lock opened by PUSHING the key in, not turning it at all :)
I've learned to test what direction the spring tension is going before attempting to pick the lock, it'll have more give in the direction you need to pick it
It was in fact not a fluke this time. Also funny that the best security feature you can put in a lock to slow down the LPL is a lock mechanism rotating counter-clockwise :D
In a barred room at the border to Russia: LPL "I'm remembering now it's counterclockwise!" Lock jumps open. LPL "Just doing it again to see it's not a fluke." 👍
I have that same lock! Its on a box that contains a small red string. If you pull the string it opens a trap door in the bottom. There you will find a picture of Squidward doing something embarrassing at the Christmas party.
There was an old tape backup safe that no one knew if was empty or what. Going through and identifying the network and such for work, of course the next time I flew out I made sure I had my lock picking set (yeah, local air port did not like I have 2 laptops and network equipment, so did not take it first time, lol). On a lunch break, after good 30+ minutes, I realized "oh, opposite direction". Of course the safe was empty. But I took the lock out so people can see it was empty. Though easy pick once you know like the one you showed, it's my favorite to throw at new people at 2600 meetings to see if they tap out of get it. Many curse words have been given to it.
I love the fact that when LPL says "I have a Google translate of this" it triggered my voice assistant on my phone and, when I tapped my screen to try get rid of Google, it actually attempted to translate the screen first me XD
Really interesting. Shout out to Lady Locks There was a square indent in the shackle, can it be shimmed ??? Once open, I guess a screw holds in the tumbler. Is that left hand threaded ?
This got me thinking, and I reckon I could design a padlock that even the LPL could not open! Essentially, it's got a normal core, with spool pins etc to keep a picker occupied for ages trying to find out why it won't turn, but the core is blocked and not connected to the lock mechanism. It's uplocked by pressing down the shackle and holding it down for 10 seconds or so, after which it uplocks. (You'd need some sort of double hydraulic piston mechanism, 1st one to unlock the locking mechanism and second one with a slow pressure bleed to block the unlock until the pressure has dissipated and the lock is released.) LPL would spend ages trying to pick it and not get anywhere!
Wow, a couple of strokes with the wave rake and it sprang open! Basically, the padlock offers a vain attempt at intimidation by its size but is as secure as a block of marzipan!
It probably can't be disassembled non-destructively. Rivets are cheaper than screws, after all, although in this case, I wonder if they literally poured molten zinc over the core when casting the body.
Passport says exactly what it does: the blyatlock is designed for locking a garden toolshed, a cellar with a potato storage, a shed for tools for cows/pigs etc. Basically, things that usually nobody even locking in villages. 😊
The new master #3 (ball bearing version) has a zinc actuator i was rekeying some for a customer and I saw the actuator is bad you could take a torch and heat the lock and pull it open 😂 or wave rake it

(You'd need some sort of double hydraulic piston mechanism, 1st one to unlock the locking mechanism and second one with a slow pressure bleed to block the unlock until the pressure has dissipated and the lock is released.) LPL would spend ages trying to pick it and not get anywhere!
I always want to see the lock disassembled so we can see how it works!
Wow, a couple of strokes with the wave rake and it sprang open! Basically, the padlock offers a vain attempt at intimidation by its size but is as secure as a block of marzipan!
Master Lock design engineer: furiously scribbling notes
Google started to translate when he said 'Google translate' LoL
I have come across exactly one backwards lock. I had the key, yet it still flummoxed me, for the better part of a minute.
Nice demo of the Soviet lock.
So this Soviet lock is still better than everything that MasterLock has to offer? 😂
They're both huge red flags in terms of lock choice.
to be fair, the Soviet lock did outperform any master lock to date 🤣
@@exeggcutertimur6091 I mean, it is literally their national flag.

Finally! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary! Oh, it just opens other way, nevermiiind.
That was brutal for the girl who sent that in ha ha ha
Hialarous! The google translate sheet was my favorite. “Minimum secrets -2000!” 🤣😂
I miss the good old days that we got to see the lock taken apart. Would have been nice to see a soviet lock's guts.
It probably can't be disassembled non-destructively. Rivets are cheaper than screws, after all, although in this case, I wonder if they literally poured molten zinc over the core when casting the body.
Hello, I'm from Russia and I opened this lock with a thick paper clip only. Thanks for your videos.
"I couldn't open this door (on my first try) because it's a PULL door and I pushed."
A real door-stop.
Security by intimidation. The size of the lock steers would-be thieves elsewhere.
The lock hurt his feelings by being tricky and opening the other way. Now, it gets the Wave Rake...
Thanks
He used the wave rake twice, therefore I can trust this works.
Great video as always. Could you test out the Litelok x1? I'd like to see you put its big promises to the test.
These old Soviet locks are probably my favorite locks.
I think we all read the title and thought “ well it’s finally the day we never thought would happen”
Очень хорошо! Да.
As soon as he said first try, it was either counter-clockwise or the back of the keyway had a little guy that prevents rotation
All good!
Passport says exactly what it does: the blyatlock is designed for locking a garden toolshed, a cellar with a potato storage, a shed for tools for cows/pigs etc. Basically, things that usually nobody even locking in villages. 😊
With those burns from LPL, I'm surprised it didn't simply melt in front of him!
The new master #3 (ball bearing version) has a zinc actuator i was rekeying some for a customer and I saw the actuator is bad you could take a torch and heat the lock and pull it open 😂 or wave rake it
Now manufacturers will print how much time it took the LPL to crack open their products.
The best safe feature of that padlock is that it opens counter clockwise
