yeah considering the measures here did not help against LPL (not that they were designed to) had he used a simpler method, it would not have worked so well.
LPL. Long story short. Been watching and practicing a few years. Built up my collection of lock tools. 6:30 a.m. a mechanic had a lock-out from a garage. Keys locked in truck inside the garage. 60 seconds with a Travelers Hook and the matter was settled. For me it is a hobby. No charges. Perhaps word will get out and I can be of help to others. Closest pro locksmith is hours away and choose not to come out. Thanks for your tutorials...
I used to work in a garage and have locked keys in enough Cars to have invested in a tool to get into Cars. I think Cars are not designed to be difficult to enter. One car I owned you could unlock by using a screwdriver in the gap in the handle. It was a big cap and the rod for the lock was right there.
@@answeris4217It has definitely changed over the years, and the ignition keys are much harder to bypass than the lock you can bypass with a rock to the window.
Actually, LPL has assembled locks for his own home that simply break if picked instead of opened with a key (There's a vid of it somewhere). And I'm pretty sure that's just the stuff he used before he made that video.
Yeah, I like this content much better than jabs at deadbeat lock makers like MasterLock. I mean, they're funny, but it gets old at some point. The ones where you learn about how good locks are supposed to be made, are the ones I like seeing. Even though he beat it in under 50 seconds, we can't forget he's extremely experienced and used specialized tools (though I'm sure it Would be possible for him to pick it open with standard tools, the Lishi makes it easier and quicker. And it costs loads of money). All in all, I like the direction this channel is going in.
"Not a bad effort" Come on, man! 😫 It's a security pin fiesta in there! They even did varied springs and counter milling! They did literally everything you can do for pick resistance in a pin and tumbler lock!
I got locked out of my car and the locksmith I called showed up with a lishi tool for my Toyota. He was in in less than 30 seconds. Didn’t use an airbag with a pump to pry back the door and fish around with a long rod. Thanks to watching TLPL, I was impressed.
@@singlekcNot necessarily true. If locked with the fob the alarm will sometimes go off if opened mechanically with a key. Not true for all makes and models but it is definitely something that can happen
Bump resistance. Hardened steel pins that'll dull or break your regular HSS and black oxide drill bits. Sturdy body. False sets. Several pin variations. Counter-rotations. I'm impressed; if it takes LPL 42 seconds with a Lishi, most thieves are going to give up. $26ish? I've seen Master locks for sale for at least that much. In fact, Master sells an almost identical lock for $23.
That Taiwanese company LPL mentioned makes Toledo locks sold by Home Depot that are set up identical to the mat-lock core. The Toledo “Black” models to be exact.
The way the internal of this lock is made, shows that lock-makers do, sometimes, have some valid work ethics. Thank you LPL, for going above and beyond simple lockpicking, so to give your viewers a better understanding of this business as a whole. Greetings, Anthony
They tried more than other companies did and earned what many would consider a sparkling review! Great job to them! Also I am intimately curious to know just how many locks nowadays are vulnerable to bumping... that is about the lowest skill attack I can think of short of just bashing it open.
@@OrangeDog20Knife bypass or something to that effect, I would say this is probably the lowest skill attack on most pin tumblers with bumping being next up (some pin tumblers, and a lot of even less secure designs like wafers, are vulnerable to jiggling which is even lower skill IMHO)
@briandoss9232 In many countries in Europe* bumping resistance _used_ not to be a thing because most low-skill thieves used other systems. Then there was, around 15-20 years ago, a surge in popularity of bumping attacks (it's as if the low-skill thieves had found it on the Internet🙂) followed by a "insurance companies won't cover bumping attacks because they'll refuse to believe the lock was picked" meme (unsure if it was true or not, but that's irrelevant because the meme _did_ exist), which caused a frenzy of anti-bumping measures. Since around 10 years ago, it's exceedingly difficult to find in most countries of Europe any lock (besides the cheapest of padlocks) that does _NOT_ include some form of anti-bumping defence, because nobody wanted to buy those. (*: which I hope our Colonial friends will remember is not a single country, meaning that you will find different things instead of it being all the same.)
@@BlueScreenCorp Promotion by dead mans boots maybe? (That means promotion only happens when your superior shuffles off the mortal coil, which sometimes leads to ensuring an untimely demise in order to secure a promotion)
You'd think. Once the manufacturer sets up the tooling in the factory, it can't be that much more expensive to make the more pick resistant locks in high volume. Master: "Consumers are still buying them, so don't change anything." Yet, they go to the effort to put huge chunks of steel around the same lousy core. Even more ridiculous are the Master clones sold at dollar stores and Harbor Freight. The blue plastic says, "SECURITY." It's like a product calling itself, "premium." Why clone a Master? That's just madness.
I'm here because a channel I'm subscribed to has an April fool's video about how to turn off your computer. LPL always got the best April fool's videos, and he hasn't uploaded a video yet... just have to check in on you man.
It's got to be soul crushing for these companies to have their dreams crushed under a minute. Imagine how much time goes into development. "This is our best product to date!" Just for LPL to completely dissect it in seconds.
"No country of origin markings on the pacaking but, unless i am mistaken, this came from a Taiwanese factory with an above average reputation for its tolerances and pick resistance and was assembled by Ming Li during an afternoon shift on a Tuesday or Thursday, which are the inly days he works..." Thats how well LPL knows the lock manufacturing world....
Okay, I just subscribed because I can't get enough of your quick-picking! You sir are indeed the "Bob Ross" of lock picking, making it look easy & done in minutes! Thank you for the videos!
I love your technique and of course the way you explain what you are doing every step of the way it makes it more enjoyable and at least I think I seem to obtain more knowledge that way thank you for your videos
That this core could get LPL to struggle a bit setting a pin to get the false set back means this padlock will not be picked in the wild. Anyone who has the skills to get through this one quietly will be going after much higher values than something a padlock would protect. Getting though this one in relatively short order "unlocks" the option to go after anything on the doors of a high end electronics store.
I'm extreemely curious to see what would stop an "experienced picker" (excluding Bowley like ones). It would be nice to see an example for benchmarking and so that we can have a reference for these other videos. Thanks as always!
Those Lishi lock picks are great for demonstrating what you are locking when picking... Honestly when you use your standard hook pick, you look like you're performing magic!
I came across this channel due to a meme posted on Quora about the comment section roasting the locks he can pick and now this is my favorite channel❤❤❤
I like to see they made an effort that has some reasonable effect its not pick proof or even high security by most standards its the standard I would like to see for any run of the mill padlock I might consider getting one
@@toolsarecool I won't, but I need it for more than just getting into my vehicle if I get locked out, I don't have a key for the door to my car, the key that works in the ignition for whatever reason doesn't work on the doors so I can use the tool to decode the key and get one printed out for it as well
I think many people would also like to see more videos on exactly what can be done to make locks as difficult to pick as possible by replacing the pins and springs. He could load the lock with his best choice of pick resistant pins then pick it again to demonstrate effectiveness. Yes he will have a big advantage knowing what he has done to the lock but he could still comment on the level of increased security if any. Covert Instruments could sell packs of the most diabolical and pick resistant pins. It's only about making it more difficult for the people who might actually try to pick your locks.
