Brian, about the Lockpicking Lawyer: "Have you seen his face?" He's mocking us, for he has seen the forbidden.

The Lock Picking Lawyer is the ultimate lock expert on RU-vid, period.

This is the longest time that the LPL has ever taken to open a lock.

On the next episode of The Modern Rogue: Will the Lockpicking Lawyer get his gold Rolex? Does Jason finally overcome his fear of knives? And will we finally learn what was in the Homer Box? All this and more, next time!

"All you need is plastic, a lighter, and a specialized tool even most locksmiths won't carry on them"

‘WHATS IN THE BOX?!’

Pov: LPL teaches 2 adult children to commit burglary.

Today on modern rogue we'll be opening the box with a lock, all you'll need is plyers, a lighter, scissors, a water bottle, and the key

the lock picking lawyer is a real person? thought he was some like, super efficient lock picking robot-

Lpl is crying, bill Duran is crying, deviant is crying

"why do we keep thinking we're gonna be good at things" lmao mood

I like how this whole video culminates in LPL taking 20X longer to make a copy of an existing key for these guys than it would take for him to simply pick the lock.

You can see in LPLs video, the absolute understanding of every little thing he's doing It's fascinating seeing the transition from hobby crafts, to a full on trade specialist

Bonnie's audio of "Why are we doing this?" could be placed nearly anywhere in any video you've made so far and it would fit perfectly.

We now need a spin-off called "The Rational Rogue" with Brian's wife and daughter.

The Modern Rogue, Deviant Ollam, and Lock Picking Lawyer... crossover of the year!

I love how as the lockpicking lawyer made his key he actually cut out a key blank first before cutting the teeth. I think that's probably the biggest difference, this is an extremely accurate tool they are trying to copy. Starting out with making a blank key is probably the easiest way to duplicate a key.

if I ever see these two trying to break into my house like this imma just stand by and watch.

LPL is always a joy to watch, the guy knows his stuff.

These "ill show you how to make a bomb with a toilet paper tube and a stick of dynamite" episodes are the best.

As Brad Pitt said in the movie Seven. "What's in the fucking box?" Sorry, I'm just truly curious what was in the orange box. :-)

"If you have access to the key wouldn't it be easier to put the key on the plastic and cut around it?" If you have access to the key, wouldn't it be easier to use the key?

Seeing the lock picking lawyer take over made my day. I was like oh are we gonna see a response video. Nope he justs pops I to the video and owns them. You guys are the best, always remind me that even when life is somewhat crap, their is still interesting things to learn and adventures to be had.

"and Brian, I'm looking forward to the solid gold Rolex he said you'd buy me if-" lol

you refusing to use tools in their correct way is what keeps me watching your videos

worst part is not knowing what was in the homer box XD

When some newbie lockpicker is getting frustrated because they can't do it I tell them to stop watching LPL and BosnianBill and start watching you guys. They're incredibly skilled and make it look easy. You guys show the struggles we all go through learning the skills.

Arts & Crafts with LPL is the quarantine content I hadn't realized my kids needed.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how unobtrusive Modern Rogue’s sponsorship segments are? It’s literally just 10 seconds at the beginning of the video to say who sponsored it, then a few minutes at the end to discuss them.

4:33 "Sunny D is orange juice for those who have only had oranges described to them." Jason Murphy's epitaph

Theres a few other ways to cut plastic keys... Op1) use an 1/8” single hole punch. Then use scissors to clip points between the punches Op2) use a V- Shape leather cutter. Op3) rough cut with scissors. Then peal the abrasive layer of a fingernail file and wrap it around a matchstick. Use that to file the rest of the way. op4) rough cut with scissors. then use the corner of a for side fingernail file

RU-vid: How many timestamps do you want? This guy: yes

WAIT!!! SO CAN SOMEONE POSSIBLY MAKE A PAINTING OF A MOUNTAIN RANGE THATS ACTUALLY A KEY BLUEPRINT???!!!!?!?!

13:46 new character Sensible Wife

If locks had an internal monologue: "oh shit, it's that guy" *throws itself open*

Feel like they really glossed over that the most important part of the bidding was the flat section in the valleys. If you're using a pair of scissors those would be very hard to cut, hence the special tool required. They might have pulled it off if they scored those flats first with the knife, then took off the excess. You can see the peaks don't matter because the special tool cuts the excess. the main thing is getting that flat in the right spot.

It’s a master lock, I’m surprised it didn’t fall open, also, isn’t shimming just a lot quicker with the plastic?

I just watched the full LPL Playlist yesterday and now there's a new one. Nice.

"Hopes and dreams." No Jason, there is something inside. Also theres no rattling from the shattering. 😂😂😭

A full (15 minute) Modern Rogue episode, followed by a full (3 minute) LPL episode?? christmas has come early

I dunnoooo, I mean, using a tool designed specifically to cut keys, to "jerryrig" a key out of plastic, feels like cheating

This co-op was amazing!! I love both of your channels

‘It just occurred to me this could be the wrong key” I died laughing

FIRST TIME SEEING BRIANS WIFE, what is that, the 3rd woman we’ve ever seen on this channel? 😂

I felt a certain fear when Brian started using the exacto knife like THAT. Oh god, that hurts watching.

This is the first I'm seeing this channel, through a YT recommendation, and it BLEW MY MIND seeing Brian Brushwood here. The last time I think I saw him was on Scam School on Revision 3. Man, there was so much content on that website I miss now.

I just made my own after watching the first 10 minutes - with a tention wrench it works like a charm. Thanks guys, it's brilliant

brian: i bet even the lock picking lawyer can't do it LPL: hold my lock

looks like you picked the wrong lawyer to bet against.

FINALLY WE HAVE IT, I have been waiting for this episode for so long.

Brian: Disses the LPL LPL: Whom's'd've summoned the non-destructive entry entity?

Brian: Name one time youve ever... Jason: looks longingly at his thumb

Went snowboarding AND got to watch my favorite youtubers on the way back

3:29 The reason you'd want to use this method is to duplicate a key that has a controlled chain of custody. If you're permitted to have custody of the key but not take possession of it i.e. a set of keys you have to sign out with a photo ID, etc. This is only necessary where you're under constant video recording or surveillance, carrying a compromised mobile device or are required to surrender mobile devices upon entry. Otherwise, just snap a pic on some fine-scale graph paper. The trick is to use one of the weakest points of physical security - the toilets. Nowhere but the most top-secret facility would ever employ cameras in the toilets. Even if you're being escorted by a security guard, they're going to leave you alone to do your business... even if your business is a sooty-key impression. The bathroom has built-in plausible deniability and social squeamishness of interrogating a stranger about why they took so long to take a dump. At worst, all you have to say is you had explosive diarrhea and that would shut down the questions pretty quick. And if all you need is a lighter and some packing tape, you can carry those without rousing suspicion. Cigarette lighters, utility knives, and a wallet are almost always waved through security if you're "supposed to" be there. Carry the tape in your wallet, wrapped around a piece of wax paper, or just triple-wrapped around an innocuous "shopper's club" card with a "hey buddy" flap to ease quick unwrapping of the tape. Then you take the imprint home and cut the key off that. If you're someone who menstruates, even better. Just fill a carefully-opened tampon wrapper or applicator with modeling clay and make the physical impression into that. Nobody but the most dedicated, nosy, and socially-awkward security guard would closely inspect menstruation hygiene products. The same theory would apply by sneaking a .5mm or 1/64th inch ruler into the toilet and either writing the measurements down really fast encoded in an address book, on dummy business cards, or getting really good at memorizing. This being said, as many a finish-carpenter would say, 9 out of 10 times, scribing is better than measuring. Edit: For those who don't know, it's surprising how many supposed high-security places still use physical lock-and-key access control vs electronic keycards for their most sensitive areas. Like, even the high-ups can't get into certain mission-critical spaces - mainly utility, electrical, and mechanical service areas... which also tend to be poorly monitored, and which are expected to have high volume of unknown third party service-workers who are never questioned about their purpose or credentials. High-visibility yellow is often the best camouflage. There are some good arguments for using physical lock-and-key access control in high-end commercial, industrial, and institutional security culture, but all it takes to defeat is training, audacity, and a source for the right key blanks. All ideas expressed in this comment are meant as white-hat penetration testing data. The intent is to provide security personnel with advice on how to harden access control against unlawful or unauthorized penetration only.

I want more episodes with Bonnie coming in and just making rational suggestions. Really made me laugh

I remember when this channel started up and Murphy was so awkward and just used to being the magicians assistant 🤣

ok, but that master lock wanted to open as soon as it heard his voice.

Guys, I feel like the algorithm is against you... I realised I hadn't seen any of your videos in ages so I turned on notifications and I still didn't know about this video till 4 days after upload. Yall deserve more views and I love you both, sad to see you're not getting the promotion you deserve

A LockPickingLawyer video with background music is a very alien feeling thing.

It was painful to watch Brian trying to turn the padlock with the blade.. Glad nothing bad happened though

I was going to comment "why not just trace around the key on the plastic and then cut it out with a craft knife" but then the video got to the point where Brian mentioned the comments so I will retract my comment.

10:21 "I don't know why we keep thinking that we're going to be good at things." Ouch, I felt that deep in my soul. 😥

Waking up to a beautiful Sunday morning with a cup of coffee watching the Modern Rogue 👌☕

The modern rogue would be like the perfect place for people who have issues with perfectionism/not being good at something first try, to see two awesome professional idiots be successful and not at all perfect

Probably could’ve gotten soot on it quicker if you were actually burning something that produced soot. Butane doesn’t produce soot as good as say a burning candle. Could’ve coated that key in an inch of soot just by waving it over the candle for a second or two lol.

I been following Lockpicklawyer for a few years now. Great video!

“Now Jason I’m looking forward to the solid gold Rolex...” - Lockpicking Lawyer This was hilarious 😂

13:46 CAUSE IM A MISSUS ROGUEEEEEEEE!!!

LPL CREATING ANARCHY

I remember watching the video talking about the soot method, what I ended up doing was tracing the key on masking tape (with a pen), apply to plastic, then cut with scissors. At some point I might've also used (a flat screw driver) to turn the plastic key in the lock, worked fine with me!

LPL video with funky jazz in the background? Hell yeah, I need more of that!

LPL, Deviant, and Bill is looking at this like: ._.

Brian got a little heated talking about how people sit stuff out for them and then they dont use the stuff lmao

Nice method if you have access to the key; one other way I've seen that I love for quick (relatively) key copying is to put something like sharpie on the top of a blank for that lock maker, then put it in the keyway and turn back and forth; what should happen is the pins should scratch away at the sharpie; you can then file down at those locations to the first key depth for that lock, then re-apply sharpie and repeat. Basically, as the pins get to the right height they'll rotate with the cylinder and not scratch off the sharpie, so you eventually just kind of brute force your way to a working key.

I absolutely LOVE that they call out LPL and then cuts to when he actually rebuttals them

Brushwood seems like the kinda guy I'd get hammered with in a smokey bar and despite the conversation beginning with like niceties and normal shit, it would end with screaming about the Patterson Gimlin film or something

"We're right no matter what, it's not our own incompetence!" Cut to the end of video, when it's proven it was their incompetence.

Haven’t seen one of your videos in forever glad to be back

I love when I get to watch LPL and Modern Rogue at the same time, always nice

Oh yay, Brian's wife made a cameo finally, and she did with a snarky remark, lol

I can't tell if this is something to take serious or if it is like the D.A.R.E anti drug program where I sit here thinking "I can do that!?"

YEAH! New Modern Rogue Video!

Found what looks to be a GREAT sale on this exact style of Lishi brand key cutter after watching this video. ($40 bucks on sale down from $75) I don't even do a lot of work with locks, but I regularly find myself needing something that can do precision cutting for thinner aluminum tabs, and this looks like a PERFECT tool for my hobbies, so thanks for the recommendation! (Plus, now I can do stuff like this for the thrill of it, and I can -theoretically- cut my own keys for home use if need be.)

"Nobody tell lock picking lawyer..." Don't worry, I think he's currently busy breaking into a building using only an orange.

Using the correct tools is cheating, we need LPL to try again without access to specialised tools designed to correctly cut keys

I love those collabs. Nice video!

Thank you SO much for this video! I learned a lot and I even used my knowledge to get my friend's Nintendo Switch out of my teacher's locked desk. I got suspended for a week and there are officers involved and there is even talk about me getting EXPELLED! I love what you do and how you are inspiring young minds like mine all over the world! Keep up the good work!

Encoding Key patterns in landscapes? As a stenography method for communicating between distant parties? 🙂🤷‍♂️

I see lpl i click

I love lockpicking lawyer, I dont even care about the lockpicking, he's just a calming channel

omg i didnt read the vid title and that cameo totally took me by surprise so epic!

The mannequin is too shiny, it looks like something from bendy and the ink machine

Moder Rogue: We are so rogue, we have seen the face of the lockpicking laywer. Me: Ok ok i go back watching hands...

Good attorney to have on retainer! The dude never ceases to amaze.

Yes, that Lishi aluminum blank cutter the LPL uses makes it pretty easy, but it is also pretty easy with nail / cuticle cutters, or very small wire cutters... one just has to be accurate. You guys make it look really hard. Of course in the real world, one would just snap the lock or the latches with leverage.

Pleeeeeeeease do a video on brainwashing. History, legitimacy, practical application, etc.

got off work early AND get to catch a premiere???

Sunny D: "It's orange juice for someone who only ever had oranges described to them." That's poetry there. You should be proud of that.

The Lock Picking Lawyer better have a lovely watch in his next video, guys.
