[21] Harbor Freight Safe Picked Open 

Twisted World Yep. A common saying: “The best hiding spot is in plain sight.”

Love your comment made laughed. Thanks 😊.

I think you've perhaps been playing too much Rust? 😁

The average crim is a dumb fuck.

@@Operational117 I know of someone who carried millions in a public bus in an ordinary backpack. Best part is he forgot the bag at a hotel midway and jumped out of moving bus after it had gone a few kilometres. One of the waiter kept the bag safe with him. Probably he didn't check the content else he would have disappeared with his family right then and there.

This is why I read the comments! 😂

Quang B you just won the internet with that one.

Stirl Dem agreed

Well you can buy both this safe and the tool on Aliexpress and DHGate.

I was actually waiting for him to say that's where he got the tool from

LOL. Is that Kwikset's company slogan?

LOL, just might be

It's what my old comp sci teacher told me about passwords.

@Adecodoo so you Run around your house interacting with your family, playing with your kids and all the time a gun is strapped to your body?

@Adecodoo sorry, i read over the "not" part of "when i'm not at home"

That works well on the smaller ones. It's possible, but much harder on the 48" tall models like this one.

Haaaa. Knock knock open says me.

Any particular spot to hit it in? My electronics just went out and I dont have the key.

@@jhoughjr1 search for the video, how to open a safe with a pottato

I have also opened this exact model in the past using the tap technic. The battery went flat and you can only replace it from the inside. A couple of strong taps and it came straight lose.

Let me guess: You bought it from Banggood? :D

Same here. Lost the key and batteries died. Out of frustration I hit it and it unlocked.

:-)

LockPickingLawyer Seriously Thanks! I had a coupon for the safe and thought I had a good deal. I'm glad I saw your video!

It my

@@AllAmericanDreamChaser Just take the save and put that crazy bowley lock into it as a backup XD

and you just happen to be watching this on your phone?

To be fair, in today's era, he's cutting through "slash resistant" bags

Hii Fluttershy

​@AhDollar well tbf there are only so many locks in the world, the majory of locks are very similar

chests_ cops carry those tools

LOL, could be.

I thought LPL sounded like the safe was so bad that he couldn't face talking about it without a couple of stiff drinks ;)

asdfkoas I couldn't get that to work on this one... and I tried using a heavy dead blow hammer. It's probably because it is the larger 250lbs version. But along these lines, there's a really funny video out there somewhere where a guy opens a safe like this by whacking it on top with a potato! Its hilarious... and a little sad.

Seen it, done it, but it works with a zucchini as well ;)

+asdfkoas I'll try a vegetable next time. ;-)

@@lockpickinglawyer Seriously?! I thought that this was a cheap hotel safe. A 250lb 48" high safe with this lock?! Recommendation: Include a long shot or photo of the entire safe in these videos.

What's its name on AliExpress?

Hi, I've lost the key for my safe, and the batteries have died. Can you please tell me the name of the tool.

If you can bounce the safe on a bed, you haven't done your due dilligence anyway and the potential thief could simply carry it away to manipulate at their own convenience.

+vegasfordguy Thanks for watching -- it's always nice to hear from someone who enjoys my videos. I have not tried the 3 pack laminated HF locks. I have picked on their American 700 clone and their “puck” hidden shackle lock. Both have 6 pin brass cores with American Lock keyways. They are both made to VERY poor tolerances and are relatively easy to open. I suggest heavy tension. The binding orders on the locks I have are not at all subtle.

richardwales LOL. A "safe" with a wafer lock. I don't know what to say about that. It's a little sad because many people (who don't spend as much time on RU-vid as us) don't know what a joke they are, and rely on these to safeguard valuables.

Papa Gleb Thanks.

that's not nice. wish I'd thought of it....

Penny Wagner then 1 year down the line and either you forget to replace the batteries or the pad fails

@camjamsdadwhy didn't you just buy a good safe ? Nevermind...I finished reading your reply. Lol 😋

@Dennis Moore It's so easy to get bendable wire around the hinge side and press the code reset button. I actually think it would be more secure to disconnect the electronics power supply and use the backup key only. If the locks were not so insecure or often keyed alike....

Hello this is the rope cutting lawyer

@@bobdole4694 I knocked the reset out of the hole so it hangs inside the door. Have to remove battery unit to get to it.

whats the name of thoses items

Good luck... glad this video reached someone for whom it could be useful.

Glad you liked it. Sorry, but I don't know the part number. What you would need to do is to open the door and measure the depth of the lock. Most cam locks of the same depth will work.

The tool is a HUK lock pick tool

+Greg Taylor LOL. That's one way to fix the problem!

got a photo or a video about this? please post

Relevant xkcd: xkcd.com/916/

Yeah, about the same amount.

Especially of you have the shoe box next to the safe.

I lose my valuables, that is the best way I have found to secure them. If I can't find them than surely a robber won't! Coincidently, it is also the cheapest and only method I can afford. XD

If it was in my brother's shoe box...with his well-worn and well-stinky boots...that would be at least a Master Lock level 7 equivalent!

This also goes for any of the union safes with that particular style keypad. They all have the exact same locking mechanisms. And I can defeat every single one of them, and under 20 seconds.

Do you have a link on the magnet attack? I've not been able to get that to work with a pretty powerful magnet.

Make your owl electro magnet with some iron bar telephone wire or same wire in blue cat 5 put about 50 turns of the still insulated and single strand around the bar and apply 12v. Doesnt need ro be neat but bunched together for propper inductance...... Food for thought. Love your videos.

Thanks. I'm not really that knowledgeable about safes, but its a matter of balancing cost and security. I can recommend absurdly tough safes, but at what cost?

+LDU2U Nothing surprises me about the security products made in China… except maybe the fact that they all don’t have the cheap(er) wafer locks. As for modifying the impressioning tool, I’ve considered doing exactly that because these tools are really spotty about fitting in locks. I have two brands of impressioning tools, with three sizes in each brand, and it’s not unusual to find a lock in which the fit is really close, but none of my tools quite get in the lock. Probably the only reasons I didn’t modify my tools are (i) I don’t pick many tubular locks anymore, and (ii) I mostly SPP these locks now. As a hobbyist, I pick for the enjoyment and challenge. It’s not very fun or challenging to open locks with impressioning tools. I enjoy SPPing more and the method works on a much wider variety of locks (many of which the impressioning tools can’t open). All of that said, how is your modified tool working? I might follow your lead.

I can't really say if it worked any better, certainly not any worse anyway, makes it the same as the Southord tubular pick. The reason I sanded those bumps out because it sometimes sort of 'jumps' into the lock while inserting, and I am not sure when it does 'jump' into the lock how close the pick is in relation to the pins? I have to admit I'm not very good at tubular locks though. SPP'ng is OK, but being a hobbyist myself, I don't particularly like SPP'ng a tubular with only one pins rotation of the core. In the real world one would need to SPP it again twice, or maybe even three times before the locking latch mechanism would move past the point whereby the lock can actually get opened to gain access. This is the only reason I continue using a tubular pick, you can keep rotating the core until the safe or some other container actually opens to gain access. Just my personal thing you understand. A lock for me has to be opened to gain me access, and usually you have to pick it again, or again before the container is actually opened? I see people SPP'ng tubular locks on YT, but they only turn the core one pin position and say it's open, but in reality it would usually not be opened by just rotating of the core to one pins position, they would have to re-pick it again once or twice, or even more until the lock latching mechanism actually opens the safe or whatever, and then the reverse procedure to re-lock it. I have this thing about lock picking as if I was out in the field...LOL. I really enjoy your videos presentations, and you clearly explain things, they are a pleasure to watch LPL ;-)

+LDU2U You make a good point... but once you start on locks that have varying spring tension and/or varying length driver pins (like the ACE II), the impressioning tool is of limited use. As for moving the core multiple positions -- check out my video #91.

Stupid me, I forgot I watched that video...DOH! Of course, that's all one has to do after SPP'ng. Just delete my ramblings before...LOL. I have a couple of those SPP'ng picks, I'll have a go at that. Thanks.

i have that tool and safe still can't open it i

If you are in the market, you've probably concluded that this compares well with other products in the price range... and don't forget that the cam lock cam be swapped out easily for something more robust. In short, this product is not bad for the price, but it does need some tweaking.

Shammy D me too.

He's been described a lot as the Bob Ross of lockpicking I don't disagree

Yes ,I’m surprised lpl has not given us a demonstration of that method.
