[252] CISA Security Profile (Absurd Keyway) Oval Cylinder Picked and Gutted 

Four tools? Did you count the vice?

MrCh0o well it would normally be attached to a handle and be held in place without a vice

@@slickgod884 Exactly, despair is counting the vice as a tool even though he only used 3 tools a pick, a tensioner and a thick-ish wire. So counting the vice it would be 4 but the context despair is using he should only see 3. The question MrCh0o is asking is most likely rhetorical but valid none the less.

@@SedentaryGhost I thought like "What? Four? You are not supposed to count the vice." 😁

hey i am just wondering if the tray he uses to organize/disassemble the lock is like a standard thing?

Yeah, this guy would walk though most door locks faster than most people can find a key on a large key ring.

Meanwhile half the time you can just slide a card in the door if it isn't deadbolted

Keep in mind LPL isn't just good. He's WORLD. CLASS. I'd dare say that there are MAYBE a dozen people alive - worldwide - who are capable of picking ANY lock as quickly and easily as he does, legally or otherwise. Most people would have quite a bit of trouble even with a standard door. And also keep in mind LPL is able to attack these lock sitting on a chair in a lab with amazing lighting conditions. Even a trained detective, if he DID keep up his skills, could easily take ten times as long to get it right in the dark.

Sai Namuduri Now I’m not an expert, but I think he feels and picks more with his sense of touch than with his eyes. He might need a little light but I think he can pick most locks by feeling his way through them.

@@pyrocooper5830 True but I think this is less LPL and more lockpicking in general, you have to rely on feel because the only time you can see the pins is on a training lock. Also, his methods could all be done in real world scenarios too, but it would much much more difficult dealing with a lock you couldn't freely manipulate to get a good angle. Not to say that he is not a far better lockpick than the majority, because he is incredibly skilled.

Same here

LOL... the masterkey!

Though I have a few locks that would laugh at the 12 gauge!

LockPickingLawyer I can step up the power factor to open about anything in the S&G 951 group if needed. Now it would take a mag dump or two from the thumper, but I will open it. :).

KD0LRG I can't imagine anything out of a 12 gauge doing much against an ss80cs... particularly normal slugs. SG951 is easy compared to that. Not nearly enough energy to break it. Not nearly enough velocity to pierce it. Maybe you could chip away at it with some hardened sabot rounds, but it would take a good long while.

To be fair it appears he struggled a lot off camera.

@TheGhost doesnt make him not the best lockpicker to ever lived

He’s definitely the best! I don’t think Houdini can open everything LPL has opened !

at an angle while its in a vice, try doing this while the lock is part of a door, losing good angles and stuff and while you're hoping people don't find you so you're looking over your shoulder every few seconds as well

If it takes him more than like 75 seconds to get something open it's a fuckin good lock

"Big click out of three"

@Terry 20 😂😂😂

$300 at the till

My first thought too. Thinking a curved flag.

I would think so but depends on what dimple pick rather how long the flag is.

A dimple pick might work... but it would have to be very small. Smaller than any dimple pick I currently own. It would also be tough to lever the pick up without bending it (as opposed to rotating it). Maybe something like a filed down Souber pick would work.

+LockPickingLawyer Looks like a great candidate to turn into a challenge lock. Just 1 or 2 pins that set below that shoulder to negate that workaround :)

I’ve nooo clue what he’s talking about in the videos,I just hit the play button and listen while driving..very relaxing 😎

Thanks.

I have one. Defeated it with an old trick, the same used with a long throw door plunger latch that was misinstalled and a knife used to open it and it's well past its ramp, tool levering it a bit at a time until set/open. PIA, but doable.

@@spvillano where did u buy the lock?

@@Dangumad can't recall now. That was quite a while ago. :/

​@spvillano what is the model number of this lock? I want this exact model!

Thanks -- I was starting to feel like it wasn't possible, but it just needed some outside the box thinking.

Zero lift, in a single pin can be huge in a lock as good as this one. I sooo agree with you.

Wouldn't that make it impossible to have a key fit the lock though?

@@patrickhector The key would lift the pin above the shear line as you inserted it, but the pin would fall back into place after the key is all the way in. I think you could still get around a zero lift pin with a bent wire, so that it skips the first, but then there might not be enough room to insert a pick.

@@patrickhector no because you would just have a one slot be drilled completely down. So from the top it would look like the key was splut in two peices. It would make the key a little harder to get in and out as it could get caught on other pin stacks but it would still work

Thanks. Good luck with the petersons. I'm really a fan of their handles and the fact that they come in three thicknesses (and a few of their profiles).

Thank you.

Thanks. Amazing how one little idea -- even a simple/obvious one in retrospect -- turns an impossible lock into something readily pickable. Thanks for watching my other videos also. I figured you would like the MTL MT5+ & Ikon R10 videos. I was pretty proud of that breakthrough. No matter how many times it happens, it still amazes me how something like that can be firmly beyond my abilities one day, and pickable the next.

+John Frew Thank you.

Thanks... this lock involved many hours of frustration before I figured the wire trick out. Glad to get it out of the naughty bucket!

Thanks.

Thanks buddy. Let me know how it works out.

Thanks.

The only CISA I remember picking before this was an Astral, and I recall it being pretty easy. This lock was a different story, though now that I have the wire trick in my arsenal, it's not quite as bad. It is like picking a dimple lock in some respects, but also like a normal lock in others.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks. The wire saved me the trouble of putting this lock through my window! I had this lock for a few months, and it was getting very frustrating.

Thank you very much... it helps that I find this hobby so enjoyable. No callous on my index finger... The middle finger is a different story! I must pick a little differently from you.

Thanks.

Thanks... this one really wasn't too bad after I figured out the little wire trick. PS - Just subbed to your channel. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to some more good videos.

Thanks for the sub and the compliment!! I've been subscribed to your channel for awhile now and I have to say, I'm impressed. You've taught me a few things that have helped me in my learning experience :)

Thanks. The wire idea came to me as I was brain storming about how to shape a pick to pick up the pins. Then, looking at the keyway, it hit me that it didn't make sense to use one tool for lifting and picking, when there was plenty of room for two.

Very clever

Thanks, and good luck on the SP. I'll be watching for a video!

Give him a break, this video was made 4 years ago. He would need far less time and effort to pick it today.

Thanks. A flag might work, but it would have to be small and you could not use heavy tension because the shafts are not designed for levering... it would probably bend.

Thanks, LOL.

I can't confirm, but I imagine you can. The lock had to be put together originally somehow, and when you watch him gut a lock there's nothing irreversible about it.

Thanks.

Thanks.

How dare you doubt the master

+Matthew “maddog” Richardson Thanks... was happy to get this out of the naughty bucket.

Thanks. The pick was from the Sparrows ssdev set, but bent a little by me.

Thanks.

Thanks. The key is 3.2mm thick.

A Ruko 500 is 2.4mm, so it must be a monster key.

My front doorlock is a cisa but it has a flatter side that arranges the pins and i must say you are not going to break that cisa key soon, it is a hefty key.
