Gotta respect the balls it takes for a company to send their locks to LPL. I imagine most lock company's PR departments sweating buckets when the see their name in the title/thumbnail.
I mean, the lock keeps up pretty good. No random burglar runs around with two pliers extra to their gear. So unless specifically targeted, your tool shack is pretty safe :D
Its advertising as well no ones sweating bullets trust me, sales from most these locks that look pretty sturdy an intimidating to a theif would have an increase in purchases being on this channel.
@@robertnett9793 A lock like this will protect something quite valuable, which will not be targeted by "random" burglars but someone that prepared a little. If they find out that you can open this lock with a magnet and two pliers, I'm sure they'll be very happy. Locking your tool shack could even make a burglar be interested in it and he might simply screw out the hinges to see what's inside.
@@zagreus5773 Ah. Dammit. So back to the hollywood-laser-alarm system it is. This way I get at least athletic flexible and hopefully good looking burglars in ninja outfit / catsuits...
I feel like the biggest drawback of the look is actually on the user side. With how complicated it is, it takes a good amount of time to open, even with the right keys (especially when you don't want all the lock parts flying around when it is opened), and because of this, the lock seems pretty impractical for doors that are used more frequently
@@luckylikey9280 Puck locks are pretty standard and this would work in all those applications. I agree that padlocks are not suitable for the front door of your house.
It's for locking shipping containers, vans and warehouses. Basically places that you need to lock up for some amount of time, then open when needed, will stay open while needed and then get locked up again when you are done. This is not a lock for constant use.
while I do not work in locks, our QA, would all be written up and than told it needs fixed and to come up with a design in a week to have our maintenance department order new tooling to do such, without test running it, so the poor QA team gets tons of write ups and suspensions because of it.
To make it impossible to use pliers, simply modify the design (c'bore vs c'sink) so the bolt head come flush with the top. Also Cade Ridley came with a great idea (fake key hole)
I don’t think the intended special nut wrench mechanism (using ball bearing stabilization) is working anymore as soon as you make the bold head countersink
We would all pay good money to watch Mrs. LPL fight any lock to get to her ice cream. Although, he would need to make sure to secure the entire ice cream packaging this time.
I am unfamiliar with this and most locking systems, but it seems the easiest and most elegant solution is to either narrow the opening to limit what type of pliers could reach inside, or to counter-sink the bolt so that you can’t get a standard set of needlenose pliers inside and around the bolt. If the “key holes” in the wrench/key and bolt were also oddly shaped, this would make the job that much more challenging.
I think I've finally figured out LPL's endgame. He's teaching criminals how to pick locks so that, when they inevitably get arrested, he can represent them in court! A pretty sound business strategy if you ask me.
Criminals don’t actually pick locks that much - it takes too long, and very few criminals would bother to put in that much effort. There’s a reason why most break-ins involve the criminal smashing a window or breaking open a door. And also why most locks are designed to be cut/drill-resistant.
@@fuzzyfuzzyfungus Yeah, it's more like an "ultimate idiot-proof anti-tamper safety lock" than an unpickable lock for theft prevention in a sense... Although obivously it would prevent most theft except for trained professionals.
@@archdetective As a guy who retired after 27 years of construction welding, I can say with extreme confidence that a grinder will get past those welds. I can't tell you how many welds I've had to grind out because of bad fabrication. In the end, I always get the parts free from the welds.
Not really security by obscurity. Locks that have a core requiring a special tool would fit that bill. This is just a one time lock. After seeing the lock that one time and doing an hours research its worse than a Masterlock.
Well, it's one of my biggest issues with the lock mechanism. Once you remove the cap using magnet, you can see the combination directly. After making a photo, one could make his own key.
@@FioEl54 This is exactly what the term "security by obscurity" means. You don't look at how secure a lock is against an unprepared attacker who doesn't know how it works, it has to be secure against a prepared attacker who knows how it works. Security by obscurity means: I think it is secure because you have not seen this yet. This is exactly what this lock does: Almost impossible to crack if unprepared, but really easy if you know what it is.
Another good advantage with this lock is that it can easily be sealed in a way that makes it practically impossible to destroy the seal without opening the lock, showing bad intent. That by using 2 sticker-based seals on the bolt carrier, where the bolt pin would exit. Since the bolt carrier has 2 shallow holes corresponding to pins in lock body, that prevents lock body from rotating relative to the bolt carrier, the seals cannot be destroyed by someone by mistake, you actually have to open the lock to destroy the seals, showing you had a intent to access the area.
@@The1stDragonRider "Lock picking is the practice of unlocking a lock by manipulating the components of the lock device without the original key." Edit: adding to that, if you are using a Bobby pin you are still picking a lock, so no lockpicks are needed for lockpicking.
The only amount of security this lock has is the fact that the average person would have no clue wtf they're even looking at. This doesn't even resemble a lock its just a metal ball
That seems to be the design philosophy for the lock in general. Weird shape, awkward stopper over the key way, threaded backwards, etc. Tbh that on it’s own might be a decent deterrent for most petty thieves. Don’t want to be sat around just solving a puzzle in a risky situation, right?
They received an "I probably wouldn't get in". AKA the highest praise giveable by such a gifted tradesman. Wow. I'm still in shock at this compliment from him.
Only because it's security through obscurity. You could really, very easily make locks that would be just as likely to be picked as this, that are still quite simple concepts
As potatosordfighter666 pointed out (I have to even ask what that handle means), "it's security through obscurity". Which is actually what I consider the best first line of defense, having worked securing data systems. So it was deserved praise for true originality. That shouldn't be the extent of your security, however. That only stops people on the first pass, the goal of it being to discourage 99% of would-be intruders to go seek an easier target. The 1% that sees it as a "challenge", however, are going to be back with a vengeance, so the rest of your defenses better be ready for it.
It's really inconvenient to put in place of normal door locks and there wasn't much of picking involved as it was more about unscrewing an unusual bolt.

@@NorthernKitty And if you're up against a APT, this lock (only) means you're SOL.
To extract locking lug nuts on cars where the specially matched sockets are missing I find a 12 point socket that is just a hair smaller than the outside diameter and then use a hammer to pound it over the outside. The 12 point socket will cut teeth into the outside edge of the lug nut and grip it plenty tight so a ratchet can be used in the socket to loosen it. The hardest part is getting the lug nut out of the socket. I think this method would work on this lock too but it is pretty ingenious to give the bolt left hand threads. That alone could foil a potential intruder.
I suspect that your method would have to confront the lock moving around while you hammer the socket into place. It may turn into a 2 person job. 1 to keep the lock stationary and 1 to hammer away.
add a roller bearing cage around the bolt. you would still be able to grab onto the bolt like he did, but your rotational force wouldnt be transmitted to the threads. since its the unique dimple pattern that allows the key to drive the bolt i feel like this simple modification would significantly raise the security level of this lock
Then you just mash a lump of JBweld or whatever 2 part paste epoxy into the recesses and stick an allen key in the back wait a couple of mins and turn it free. At best this works because it needs a weird shaped socket and as long as the unlocking mechanism is just a standard thread there are plenty of ways to apply toque to it hell drill into the middle and jam a tapper in and use that as a wrench. It'll stop most people and all but eliminate causal one off attacks because its unlikely people will have the tools on hand but if they know you use this particular lock it's not an insurmountable barrier because at the end of the day its a weird shaped bolt.
I did roadside assistance for a few years, a really common call out we'd get was for drivers with a punctured tyre and didn't have/couldn't find their locking wheelnut key so we'd have to improvise to get the wheel off. Almost all the methods, regardless of type, centred around taking a £1 shop socket that didn't quite fit over the nut/bolt, resting it roughly in place, then using a lump hammer to beat the socket like it's a red-haired stepchild until it does fit the nut. From that experience I can tell you those slip bearings they put round the nuts don't make it any harder to get them off - it might take a minute or two longer, but it's not any more difficult. If you have the right sized socket to hand - something in the 16mm-19mm range - you can sometimes bevel the edges with a file and smack it straight through the bearing race to grip the stud inside. Or you can take the 5mm flat-blade screwdrivers you picked up in the £1 shop while you were stocking up on sockets and smack the tip of one or more in to the bearing race - it'll either cause the outer ring to tear meaning you can just pull it out of the way, or at the very least it'll deform either the ring or race to the point that it can't rotate, then apply torque to the screwdrivers to crack the stud out. You could even take a syringe with a 15 gauge needle and inject some araldite in to the race to lock it in place - although you have to work _really_ fast and if you're not careful you could either bond the treads or bond the fastener to the wheel - at which point your only option is to drag it back to depot and chop or burn the wheel off.
@@DMS20231 i have a theory. Yoy might could overcome that by replacing the pins with tiny ball bearings. That way they wouldn't lock into the key slots, but to a lock picking thief they would feel like regular pins. Maybe it would work 🤷♂️🤷♂️

From the Ted Tooling website: "Using never before seen technology, it is purely mechanical only and is the only patented lock to use the new innovation of a bolt with a key... No other key in the world uses the unique technology to open the lock, meaning that it is IMPOSSIBLE to open the bolt without this key... There’s nothing else like it." LPL: "Grab onto the grabby thing with another grabby thing, and turn.
This makes me kind of sad for them. I think they really believed that it was impossible to open. Much less, extremely easy to open with a low skill method. This might be okay for home use. But anything important should be secured with something better. Which is exactly the opposite of what the website says. Very sad.
@@Kahless_the_Unforgettable they had the hubris to call it unpickable. That's where they went wrong. At $400 and with the inconvenient key and opening method, this is terrible for home use.
You would certainly need to know a lot about this device in order to pick it. A fascinating product that showcases how lockpicking and bypassing security works by understanding how that security itself functions.
Ted tooling: “this lock is unpickable” The average smart arse: “this isn’t a lock, this is just a bolt that has dimples in it, it can’t be picked by design as there is nothing to pick!” LPL: “sandpaper seems set, the first pliers are binding...”
Honestly due to the lack of complexity of the "key" this seemed more pickable than many things ive seen before. Plier to plier is also tools i snd many others have lying around
I can just imagine a merchant trying to sell this in a roleplaying game like D&D. "Oh nothing is _completely_ invulnerable no... but I can assure you it would take an act of _extraordinary_ violence."
I always imagine the development team of these locks watching these videos, feeling crushed to the bone that their masterpiece had been ruined within 60 seconds
Either a curse or a gift as they can find the flaws and improve on the next batch, like how , in WW2, the British stole German notes about captured Churchill tanks and used it to improve the design and so forth
LPL provides a damn valuable service to the companies developing new lock designs. You basically get thousands of hours of expertise to show you how to re-engineer your products weak points and all it costs you is a mildly embarrassing video tear down of your prototype.
its easy to be fixed, the mechanism that take the key has to be inverted inside the locks body, so there is no point where u can grab that. the key would need a hull though, for carrying around, cause the pins would be elevated
A stainless free spinning collar around the bolt head like on a locknut for a car wheel would stop the pliers from being able to grip the head of the bolt, also a tighter tolerance around the bolt would help also.

A lot of Harry Houdini’s job was doing what you do. Just studying every lock he could ever find from all over the world, knowing there is always away to get around it, then create a performance that hides the method.
What lock picking lawyer had taught me is nothing is un-pickable, just unknown. As soon as the unknown becomes known, it's pickable. The average person will walk up to this and not even know it's a lock. If you know how it works it's easier to pick than a standard lock.
If you watch a conference he animated (somewhere on youtube, it was recommended to me a few weeks ago), you'll see he actually strongly condemns the "security by obscurity" mindset that a lot of security companies have.
@@unter9982 My comment in no way says that security by obscurity is good. In fact, if anything, it would imply the opposite. The observation is that your security is only as good as it is against someone who's aware of what they're up against. Something being secure against an untrained individual is okay and even adequate in certain scenarios, but it means nothing at the end of the day if someone who knows what they're attacking can just walk right in, because there's an easy exploit to be had, even if the average person wouldn't have even tried to enter in the first place. Therefore, securing something in a manner that leaves you more vulnerable to skilled individuals by just appearing impenetrable to a layman is not a particularly good idea.
@@nickwilliams2415 I completely agree, encountering this lock in the field and not knowing how it works and not having specific tools makes this a very secure lock
@@unter9982 Yet passwords or safe combinations or keys are exactly that when you boil it down to its essence, security by obscurity. There's many different 'authentication factors', but in the end they boil down to really only a few things, ranked in order of how often they're used are: - Knowledge factors (keys, pins, passwords, patterns, codes programmed into RFID/NFC chips, etc) - Posession factors (the actual entry password is auto-generated and sent by request to a phone or other identification device the authorized person holds in possession) - Location factors (niche, but can be very effective) - Time factors (niche, but can be very effective) The reason a key is a Knowledge factor and not a Posession factor in my opinion is because you can fabricate keys so long as you know the cuts... there's a reason LPL doesn't show the keys on camera for locks in active use. Whether fingerprints or retinal scans should be considered Knowledge or Posession factors is up for debate.. although given how easily they're recreated/spoofed I'd personally be inclined to call them Knowledge factors as well. So yeah, most of all applied factors are, in actuality, a form of security by obscurity.. unfortunate as that may be.
I love the ingenuity of picking this. Of course as he said it probably wouldn’t be common to carry the things that you would need for picking it but still very ingenuous picking tactic.
@@MikkoRantalainen more likely since it can defeat electronic, and those 5 digit push buttons. Also if you waive a strong magnet across auto garage door openers (similar to the ones that tripp traffic signals) they all open.
@@MikkoRantalainen the "average" burglar doesn't carry any tools except maybe a hammer and a long screwdriver for punching/breaking things. The vast majority of B&Es are done using "objects of opportunity" to violate a weak point in security, such as a window or soft door. To have any value, this lock would need to be mounted to something equally durable, or else you could probably just break it off. Most hasps would break long before this lock would.
It's still a valid semantic argument. There is no lock therefore nothing to pick. Can it be opened without the custom wrench? Yeah, but they didn't say it was un-openable :) It's absolutely a semantic argument of course.
But... he DOES know better, and so do we all now, haha. It's not difficult at all. A simple universal socket would defeat it. Or a screw tap bit (for stripped screws). Or a drill to make a hole in the middle and a screwdriver to hammer into it, biting the sides. Or a strong pair of tweezers/2 chopsticks/a needlenose pushed into those dimples...
@@ArtemisKitty To be fair, your average person who would try to take this despite the lock, probably wouldn't figure out how to open this. Edit: the commenter below knows more than me lol
@@ArtemisKitty Don't forget that the bolt threaded in reverse, which would be a problem for screw taps and extractors, and the head is rounded, which wouldn't offer any purchase to those dinky pinned universal sockets.
@@ArtemisKitty it's easy if you're prepared. if you're not, you'll just look at it with wonder and before you figure it out, the owner has already returned. simplicity does not always easily translate to practicality.
DIY camera repair folks often use lens spanners, they have two pointy ends and the distance can be adjusted. I think one of those tools would also fit the head, although the points are usually either sharp tapers or flatheads so some reshaping would be required. I don't know if I would call that a lock as much as a weird bolt but hey, that'll deter a fair few people through weirdness alone.
puzzles are only solved with the hands and brain. I don't recall any puzzle on Mr. Puzzle or other puzzle channel that involved anything further than those tools and whatever comes in the package.
"Unpickable" no mechanism to pick! I think just the magnetic plunger is the major security part. If you cant even see how it opens, you cant even get started. But since magnets are used for bypassing locks, guess its possible someone tries without even knowing the lock beforehand. Reversed bolt extractors are a thing, mostly just need to have your local shop order one from the distributor. But there are a lot of ways to go about that, from pliers to rods jammed into the holes, to possibly a screw extractor which you've a chance getting in reverse if you have a whole set.
Was at a substation at a shared site with a water company. They left site and locked the gate leaving our lock out of the looping. First thought was to use the Milwaukee universal key, but we rattle gunned the gate brackets off one side. Drove out and installed them backwards. I believe I saw this locking system on Demolition Ranch and they gave it hell.
it would cause much more headache if those dimples on the bolt and key had to be depressed properly or something. Still probably not impossible but a much bigger headache.
@@Drakir72 Then their key won't have good enough purchase on the bolt either.... This is just security through obscurity which just got absolutely shattered with the massive exposure of the inner workings of the lock.

Make an entire container purely out of a bunch of these locks locked to each other so that whatever you're locking is exactly as strong as the lock itself
@@AlcoholicBoredom i imagine the manufacturers/sellers might specify it's use, but i imagine it's probably more for larger storage containers? Ultimately, it needs something the pin can slide into, so either 2 latches that can't be pulled apart, or a singular latch with a hole for the lock to block it from opening (like a side gate you'd find on a house). But considering how thick the pin looks, it seems..very specialized. Kinda reminds me of those puck locks which ive seen used on a lot of vans that have 2 doors on the back
Most burglars look at the lock on something, and then just cut the fence/break the window/break the hinges. A lock is only effective security if everything else is more secure. I've seen one were a heavy duty lock was put on a container, rather than cut the lock the theives just burnt out the hinges along one side and cut off the tabs ar the top and bottom as it was easier and quicker.
For the price of this lock, whatever you are protecting will be pretty valuable. That means more sofisticated burglars, who would likely scope the place out ahead of time and be more knowledgeable on locks and security systems.
In computer science, this is called security by obscurity. And it's a terrible long term solution. It just take one really smart person and a bit of curiosity and the whole cardboard house collapses.
The best possible security solutions hide conventional security solutions behind layers of obscurity, thus easily repelling less determined attackers, but then even if someone is smart/creative they then just run into the kind of security designed to keep them out anyway. Like hiding a really solid door behind camouflage. Only someone who already has a general idea of what they're looking for, or someone smart and creative, will get past the obscurity, only to still find a very challenging layer of security to breach anyway.
Honestly a few small tweaks to this lock would make it far more effective. For example have the bolt recessed back so that you can't touch its edges with pliers. Have the bolt be a locking bolt, that only releases if a pin/pins are depressed correctly by the tool to unlock it. Have the cap lock into place too, an extra lock before you even get to the lock if you will.
the upside is though that conventional tools of burglars like lockpicks and boltcutters are completely useless against this thing. you would have to prepare specifically for this lock,which i believe is unreasonable to expect from burglars. also,remember how many locks got fancy in their designs and whatnot,but lpl opens them with lockpicks either way.
@@MrVentches preparing for this is really simple tho. A stick and a tube of supeglue/epoxy. A drill would also be equally effective, that's a very thin bolt and it holds the entire thing together.
there is a quick improvement on that lock, back home we had it this way: 1) key shaft needs to be thinner than actual key tip, 1) instead of direct key insert it needs to have a side cut to slide through, hole on the side is matching size of key tip, and then it has just thin cut to allow rest of the shaft to fit, and top/center keyhole is same diameter as key shaft, that way, you cant get any generic of the shelf tool in there, unless custom made,
One thing I like about it is the stealth: I wouldn't even expect that the center-piece must be pulled out with a magnet. I'd be simply confused. If they simply put a regular lock inside it'd be better.

You could stack a few. If the key had a hard enough press it would slip into the next when aligned if they were offset. Or another tube that turns the second nut from the bottom so the top is flat and smooth.
