The company should remove the diaeresis (two dots) over the "a" in their name. So instead of being pronounced "u-loc" it can be pronounced "u-lac" as in "You Lack Security".

After watching a few of your videos, I decided to have a go at picking my bike padlock. Never picked a key lock before, and succeeded with just the wiper insert and dental pick.
"Do Not Disturb Sign" made me think you were going to open the lock with it's own packaging. Similar to carding open a hotel room with the handy sign hanging on the knob.
As soon as i saw the look i knew the raking was incoming. Good to see that my time spent on the channel has paid of. Thank you LPL. Also, at least it isn't listed more than a five in the security scale.
What's amazing is that you would be better off with a chain and the Amazon basics padlock he picked the other day. That's truthfully what I'm impressed with here
That’s actually ridiculous... I appreciate your wisdom and knowledge when it comes to these locks that are absolute garbage. You are a very knowledgeable man when it comes down to it and frankly, you reveal the true flaws and imperfections in all locks; I love the way you conduct your videos and the way you inform your viewers: magnificent job!
And THAT is a level 5.. what is below that? Level 1 is a literally just a "do not disturb" sign Level 2 is a piece of dental floss Level 3 is dental floss and a "pls no steal :
...And level 100 is a 3/4 inch thick, ultra-hardened steel chain with ceramic inserts, secured by several 5-pound Squire locks, each with it's own keyed different Abloy Protec 2 core.
This 1:43 video, when shown to me, was preceded by an Altor SAF ad for maybe 15? seconds, and after, an over 3-minute ad. Ads almost double the length of the video. Altor SAF was picked in video 1088, ixPFDFp8Cfo. But it took a sonic screwdriver, and LPL said that it was indeed "one of the most theft-resistant locks money can buy". But I'll still peeved about the massive amount of ad.
I love your videos!! Could you please make a video showing your whole Collection. In my mind I imagine you have a man cave, filled with shelf space full of locks and lock picking lore.
Fun activity now that stores are re-opening: Go to the rack of these locks, rake them without even damaging the packaging, then daisy-chain them together before leaving the store.
Could be much, much worse... Imagine if these same people were making things on which depended life or physical safety. I'd much rather they were preoccupied with crappy locks, that, say, crappy bicycle safety helmets.
Waste of resources? Lol, humans are incredible at doing that. Do you know the biggest, under rated, LEGAL scam of all time? The banks changing paper money notes every couple of years. Why do they that? Because it stops people hoarding cash (perfectly legal, if you dont want a bank account, but the system forces you to have one) they change the notes, with a time limit to cash them in, after thar your old notes (perhaps you abject to having a bank account and want to store in cash your hard earned money) your old notes are useless and no longer legal tender. As much as 60 million paper money notes are in circulation at any time, how many trees do you think it took the time to grow and cut to do that unnessecarily?! Its also annoying for businesses to update their machines. Yet that is just tip of the iceberg Where i work, hundreds of computers on standby for at least 13 hours, they cannot physically turn the power off in unused buildings because it was wired in that way. Since the virus hit, we found the lights will stay on 24.7 if no one activates them (they are automatic) when the canteen was open, everyday a fresh delivery of food, with at least quarter tonne of perfectly edible food every WEEK thrown away! What about big trawling nets in the ocean fishing, millions of fish are not sold/wasted because they catch too many and kill too many I could come up with 20 different examples. The waste in this world is horrendous but worst still - unnessecary
I love your videos. One thing I've noticed that you rarely address is leverage attacks against ulocks. A 10 foot pipe and some body weight can get through a variety of ulocks in moments. I would love to see you address this in a video, perhaps as a technique video for how to properly attach a ulock to a bike.
Fully trashed a reputation during an advert break on TV. Nicely done LPL. You need a rating system that proper lock companies would pay for, an independent assessment. Only half decent ones need apply, but it could be an internationally recognised brand identity.

It says it's 5 out of 10, which seems accurate if you consider a 1 to be a note asking nicely not to steal and 10 to be an actual pick resistant lock with hardened steel shackle. Basically, halfway between "hope no one takes it" and "too inconvenient for most bike thieves."
That is a lightweight lock which is good to lock up your ride for a quick blast into the convenience store. So you're not riding around lugging a three pound u lock. So it does have a purpose. Also, that lock would be highly secure in, say, the South Pole. 👍
0:27 _"... few people even lock their bikes at all."_ so, in my experience *most* people lock their bikes, but not in a way we'd call locking a bike anywhere else: the most common thing is a lock bolted to the seat stays, with a shackle that goes between the spokes of the rear wheel. not locking the bike TO anything, and they aren't very secure even with that. but that's Japan. most houses over a certain age have bars on the windows, but the bars are softwood, held on with a single nail in the top and in the bottom. slightly newer houses have bars that are aluminum, held down with a single rivet, top and bottom. both could pretty easily be pried off by hand. new houses usually have roll-down shutters that would actually take some effort to get through.
Those chasis mounted wheel locks are the standard insurance requirement in parts of Europe that have enough bike theft that the most important lock feature is the receipt for the insurance claim. Bike theft here is a random mix between (drunk?) people randomly stealing a bike for a single trip or 2 and wholesale thiefs grabbing entire bike racks with all attached bikes into their trucks, then taking them across state borders for sale. First type is stopped by any competent lock, second type only by police pursuit and traffic stops of suspect vehicles.
Contrary to what you said LPL, Japan has a very high bike theft problem to the point you can get randomly stopped in the streets on a bike just to check whether the bike is yours or not. However it is true that it is a country where people trust others more, and thus tend not to lock them.

Man. He didnt even unpack it. Didnt even take the keyes out. Nothing. Just picked it up, picked it and it's ready to be returned to store.

Make sure your duct tape is LPL rated
Maybe add a do not disturb sign for extra measure
