(1314) Massive Mul-T-Lock Padlock (E18H) Picked & Gutted 

Yoo Loo right now, i have watched 1.314 of his videos 😄👍🏻

Hey bill, I have watched way too many of your videos and I just wanted to thank you for all of them ! You're amazing !many greetings from Julian from Germany :)

Hi

Id love to see you do a destructive test on this guy.

Please send me $400 so I can buy another one, and I'll do it for you...😃

Bosnianbill do you accept payment plans?

😃

True, discontinued in around 2009

Glad it worked out and welcome to LockSport!

Easy to figure out, just pick it open and take a look. 😃

As you saw when I disassembled the lock, it is a normal pin-in-pin in the core. The interactive element is primarily for key control to prevent unauthorized key duplication (because you don't know which interactive element is installed). You can't tell the bitting of the interactive element because it "floats", as I demonstrated.

Rookie Lock I always read on the packet that It was ribbed for pleasure!😜👍🏽Good question, I see no functional use for it.🤔✌

LOL yeah for the Bible's pleasure ? I also don't see a use for it, but it has to be there for a reason, or Mul-t-Lock wouldn't spend the extra time and money on it.. I was thinking its because the tops of the pins are a little rounded, or for smoother operation, but i really don't know, that's only a guess..

Rookie Lock haha! Yeah, I think you will get struck by lightning now!😁 Yes possibly and yes, they wouldn't got to the trouble for some unworthy reason.🤔 Maybe some Mul-T-Lock guru can explain. It's surely a beauty though.👍🏽

It just started raining... But yeah, they make some wicked products, I love their padlocks!

Rookie Lock haha... you're a gonner!😨

No, almost all MTLs have that ribbed core for some reason.

Thumper, as I mentioned to you I am not a locksmith and don't sell locks. I appreciate you sending payment for them but have issued a refund of the entire amount. If I happen upon a couple of American padlocks come in, I will happily GIVE them to you at no charge - but cannot tell when that might be.

Bosnianbill I understand Bill. But ì really wish you'd kept the money. I'll be sending it back to Lock Lab. Thank you for being a good person.

It's supposed to make it very difficult to duplicate the keys.

Thanks for the technical info. I've looked through all of my Mul-t-locks (I have 8 KD) and it looks like they all have the "silver" (flat) element. I don't think I've seen the "gold" or "black" yet.

It's primarily for key control.

Kennedy's Locksport they replace it with the NE series

Working on it.

I think you may be surprised at how much force a ramset can make. Maybe. It would with the highest power load, at least deform it badly enough to make it unusable/openable. There are .38 cal ramsets as well..

Offhand, I say it would fail, even with the heaviest loads. Based on the mass of hardened steel I'd be willing to bet this lock would withstand ANY pistol bullet, and MOST rifle bullets. I've shot locks with .308 NATO and, not counting armor piercing rounds, I;m pretty confident it would withstand any soft nosed .308. And NO, I will not do it because these locks are waaayyyy too expensive to shoot up just to satisfy your curiosity. Of course, if you want to BUY one and send it to me, I'd be HAPPY to shoot YOUR lock.😃

You've had it in your hands, and i well remember your lock " targets " I'll take your word on it. If i had cash to burn i would be happy to send one your way, but i do not so i will not - sorry.

LPL used the Ramset on I think it was the Abus Rock and it took multiple hit to gain entry to that lock. I don’t think that lock is half the size of this massive lock and I bet that case is extremely durable on that Multilock padlock.

lifelessdead89 all it does is makes it impossible to make your own key without an interactive key. You can file the warding into a flat piece of metal and drill holes to match the other pins... But that interactive bit makes it hard to drill it out as you would actually have to add metal instead. So instead of making a key from scratch or from one of the clones you now HAVE to buy from mtl itself. So long explanation short: key control.

Phred Phlintstoner dam thats wild. Thanks for your answer, i appreciate it

Yes, there are occasions when knowing the bitting of the key could help you, usually locks that have standard pins that give little or no feedback. Still, you'd have to be incredibly talented to replicate what you see on a key with a pick inside of a keyway. It helps, but not nearly as much as you might think. Fortunately, most locks like the one in this video "talk" to you, providing different types of feedback that identify the type of pin, and whether or not it is set correctly. It is the learning of this feedback, as well as developing the skills to attack those pins successfully, that makes this hobby so fun and interesting. As a logical thinker, I urge you to try looking at a key for a simple lock, then try to pick it - you'll quickly find that theory is VERY different than practice. Also, there is a branch of the hobby called "challenge locks", where another lock picker custom builds a lock and sends it to you. The key is mummied so you can't see it. Your ability to pick the lock depends entirely on your skills. I'm a logical thinker too. Winning NASCAR must be very easy because all you do is drive around a known track really fast. In theory, that is a cheat. Also, winning at Wimbleton must be easy too. All you do is hit the ball within a known court, right? Cheat. Lastly, I know the theory of long range shooting. It is easy. The range at Camp Perry is exactly 1000 yards, so I should be able to win that with no problem, right? Probably not. Theory is MUCH different than practice.

It'd would be a WHOLE lot harder in the dark, hanging off a chain

Of course! The MTL MT-5+ !

+Bosnianbill Schweeeeeeet!

There's always a few people who believe that lockpicking videos, or videos that expose vulnerabilities or bypasses in locks, are somehow enabling the criminal element. They might be, but they're also educating consumers and manufacturers as well.

exactly, I don't watch Bill's video's to know how to "break in" to anywhere, I watch them so I know what locks are trash and which ones are good, so I can avoid going through any problems myself

Every video on every channel has some downvotes. I can only assume they opened it randomly, did not like it, and downvoted it to mean "this is not to my taste". Doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the video, it just wasn't for them.

perhaps they are upset about the unreasonably long and unnecessary intros

Wayne Randall, from my experience when the dislikes are less than 1% it's usually people who accidentally clicked the dislike button instead of the like button. Especially on mobile that can happen without you noticing.

ABLOY

Abloy PL362

General advice around here is don't use anything too big or flashy on your farm gates and sheds. Not unheard of for people to be targeted because they have massive huge locks on all their buildings. Obviously there's stuff worth having behind the hundred quid lock. Farmers around here tend to go with basic stuff (frankly. If I want your gate open, I'll drive through it or take it off its hinges) So the goal is more dissuade the opportunistic pikeys, the organised ones will take your shit no matter what, which is where good CCTV, security lighting, a big noisy dog and a large gun come into play.

The thing about gate locks is that they live in the elements, so need some kind of corrosion resistance. Regular pin tumblers will corrode over time and fail. Also, a gate can easily be climbed over, so what you are really trying to do is keep people from driving THROUGH an open gate. Oliver is correct in one respect, the Abloys are DESIGNED to withstand HORRIBLE weather, and will last forever. The PL362, priced at $275, is a bit of overkill tho. Take a look at the PL330, which sells for about $50 at Walmart.

Bosnianbill thanks Mr. Bill. Great to hear from you! Awesome advice from everyone.

No, those are small holes through which the inner pins in the drivers pass. Without them, the bible would have to be much taller.

Bosnianbill cool, thanks!

You need to prioritize! Here's my advice. Take up lock picking. Keep on shooting and fishing. Buy a pair of good set of noise cancelling headphones to listen to music (better than ANY car stereo), and stop crashing your car and you won't need to repair it. Easy. Let me know how it works out...😃 Glad I could help.

Not at the price these sell for....😃 Based on the mass of hardened steel, it is, literally, bulletproof.

A little practice and you'll be making videos of your own. Keep it up!
