It should be quicker, if he started with the keys separated, and left each one in the lock after unlocking. Still an interesting challenge though, if kept on the key ring.
This was really fun to watch. Well, I'm blind, so I guess I should say it was fun to listen to. I'm just getting into picking, and despite the blindness, I'm actually progressing okay. Nothing remarkable (yet), but I'm keeping up with my peers. Anyway, this was fun, and very well done. Love your videos, man.
I love how well some blind people are able to get on on the internet now thanks to accessibility toolkits. My favourite anecdote in this vein is the world of warcraft player who's active in a raiding guild and is completely blind.
You beat my 4:44 lock picking challenge video I posted awhile back lol I have learned a lot from your videos especially with American locks. Keep up the amazing work and keep them coming.
Outstanding! Because of you I decided to start lock picking. I successfully picked my first Master Lock yesterday (3/03/20). Thank you for the inspiration!
so, i did a bit of a trial myself to this vid. i picked my easiest 140 along with you. you got 16 locks open before i could pick mine just under 5 times (had one spool to go). unbelievable. hope to get there someday. thanks for the inspiration and unneeded humbleness. haha. great video as usual sir.
one reason i hate and love this hobby. i have gotten every lock i own open at least once, but i have to do it twice in a row for me to say it is successful. i have an 'ace' lock that has 3 serrated and two serrated spools that i can pick, but i have a master 140, a ruger lock, an ace (that looks like a 140) that i can't get. gotten them once, but that is it. they are way 'easier' locks to most, but i can't seem to get them open after the first lucky pick, yet i can get a security lock with all security pins. makes no sense. love to keep trying though. can be frustrating, but rewarding when you finally get it (not that i have/will). love the vids man.
I've definitely noticed what you're referring to regarding the short driver pins on some #3s. A #3 was one of the first locks I tried to pick, and I was unsuccessful until after I had already been picking much "harder" locks.
That doesn't surprise me. Unless you know what you are dealing with, AND you have experience with addressing below shear line drivers, this flaw really can slow you down. You remind me of when I first started... I had a Master #3 that I could rake, but it took me a few months before I could SPP it! :-(
I’m actually somewhat relieved to read all this. I just started and I have a couple of 140s I can easily pick, but I can’t spp my no. 3 consistently, unless I get lucky. I have better luck raking but I that also is just luck.
Same for me, I got a No3 as my first practice lock, but I've opened 5-6 other locks and a 2nd No3 I got loads of times now - but I still only managed to open that original No3 once :(
I'm starting to think that master lock's core market lies with lockpicking enthusiasts as nobody in their right mind would use them as actual security measures...
@LockPickingLawyer - impressive as the picking is, I was even more impressed by the smoothness and speed with which you picked up each lock and put the tension tool in it. Didn't miss a beat, whereas I seem to be constantly dropping the turning tool, faffing about trying to get the tip of it in the sweet spot and not touching that first pin. You picked the locks faster than I can place the turning tool...! Nice :)
They were generally back to front (thus the direction in which I picked them), but there was a fair bit of variation... the highest two cuts had driver pins that were too short, so that really messed with the binding order.
I just got my first lock pick set, pulled out a master lock no 5 from the closet and to my surprise picked it in just about a minute. Been working on it for the last hour and have been unable to do it again.
Well good news bad news. I got my first set of picks today and watched ur videos. First pick took 7 mins on the no 3. 4 minutes later I had picked it 2 more times. Decided to try my deadbolts. Less than 30 seconds each. Now I'm buying an adt security system. Ignorance was bliss lol.
I started picking locks when I was 8'ish (simple padlocks and safes) usually with a couple paperclips. It was never to steal the contents, but the rush of being able to defeat the locks. However, I never understood how I was doing this. Thanks to a vid from LPL a few days back, I discovered not only what I was doing back then, but also how I was unintentionally doing it. In the last few days I've gone from having an entry level LP set to picking locks well beyond my previous skill level. Thanks LPL, you have a good way of teaching LP'ing!! I'm now 37 and have a new challenging hobby to replace my speed cubing with (though both cause hand cramps :) Side note: I originally used paper clips for single pin picking, and for me that's where the fun is. I've since learned other less skillful techniques but they're less entertaining also. It's all about skill and speed for me, not just speed.
I’ve got one that’s the old version that I got specifically for picking when I first got started with a couple of hair pins. I ran across McNally recently and decided to get back into it. Pulled out this old lock and all I have to do is set pin 3, then pin 2 and it pops right open. Crazy. Enjoying my CI Genesis btw.
I've been learning how to pick for less than a week. I got the bottom of the barrel picks to see if I could even get a feel for it. The No. 1 was the first one I popped, the No. 3 was the second. and that was on the fourth day of trying. Master locks are stupidly easy even for a picking noob. I don't feel good about using these locks to secure anything.
I do not get who the fuck dislikes these videos. You COULD NOT ask for anything more. If you are disliking it because you don't like lockpicking, get off lockpicking channels. If you disliked it because it was too long, think about how long it would take you to pick 16 #3 locks. It's not long because of the intro, like all the other youtube channels. This man gets straight to the picking, and even does that quickly.
Are those the lock out tag out locks? With security pins? The lotto locks I've seen r like all red plastic outside. Man I'm still trying to get 10 regular master locks in under 2 minutes. This guy is like one of the best.
I'm just getting into picking as a hobby and I bought a no.3 as my first tester (other than the useless acrylic one I got with my kit) and I found it was much easier to pick with some pressure pulling the shackle. Is that a placebo or something that actually plays a part in the action of the core?
This gave me an idea (well, the comments did). You know how they have escape rooms. What if they have opposite and you have to break in. Maybe they already have something similar. Hell, maybe an escape room for lockpickers.
Thanks... I very rarely break picks, but I do bend them quite a bit. Just bend them back and keep picking! You might be surprised how seldom I replace picks.
Did you use the Peterson Gem to pick these locks? As a side note, I can't believe Peterson doesn't offer their TOK pry bar with a pre-bent option. Fantastic videos, LPL.
Thanks. I used a standard hook in .018" for this video. Generally, I'm not a huge fan of the Gem. Just personal preference. It's not a great option for reaching though warding IMO (see video 82 to see what I mean).
Just started learning to pick after watching you. So I have a master # 3 that is much different, it’s from around 1990’s it cannot be shimmed as the mechanism slides sideways and I was able to pick it a couple of times but I think I damaged it because now the key doesn’t work. Its a master #3 with a stamp 3314. Can you do a video on the technique of picking, am I using too much force, and on this particular lock when I use top of the keyway there’s no room for the pic to get in and also when I’m using top of the keyway how far do I push in the prybar because when I pushed mine in it bumped into the first pin so I couldn’t get to it. I bought a bang good set for $16 that came with a clear lock so I’m using fairly normal pics they’re not homemade or anything I’ll look around your site and see if you have any instructional videos but I could really use help, how much pressure, how hard to push pins etc...
another incredible feat of picking!! The picking equivalent of putting your head in a lions mouth... can be very unpredictable locks,(for spp') especially when used! Bravo.!
Thanks... as for the unpredictability of used locks, you are spot on. That's one reason that I am using new(er) locks for these videos. IIRC, I noted that in the very first time trial video I did.
Lock out tag out is the only place master lock should be used because the security of the lock isn't the function in that scenario. Now it all makes sense.
I just got into this hobby (tools arrived today)….I can pick sparrows cut-away lock, but still have trouble with the “easy as it comes” master lock #3, even when using a rake.
im impressed, see how quick you can pick 32 locks. that'll be fun to watch. i think you should be able to do that in under 10 mins, i challenge you. ;-)
You did really good job you can open up ghost walk quicker than I can open up my front door can't I have a key thank you. Keep up the good work and I'll talk to you later bye-bye
INCREDIBLE SPP'D .I WAS GLAD YOU DID A NOTHER TIME TRIAL WITH MASTER LOCK .THE BIDDING ON SOME OF THEM KEYS LOOK LITTLE TOUGH. YOU ARE MASTER PICKER THAT HAS TO BE RECORD ??.😎😎😎😎😎🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks -- don't know if there are records for such things, but I'd imagine this could be beaten without much trouble. Give me a week to practice on this set of locks and I bet I could shave some seconds off. A good raker could probably beat my time as well.
Don't be so modest. Maybe by raking. But spp'd i would be surprised. Try a raking video too see.THANKS for responding i noticed you respond to all comments tha shoul be record in it's self lol lol
I do make an effort to respond to all comments (except for giveaway threads)... if you take the time to write me, it would be rude not to respond. That said, I am reaching the point at which this policy is becoming unsustainable. I don't want to stop... interacting with (all but a few of) the viewers is half the fun of running this channel.
How do you "map out" the lock you are in? I have a really hard time visualizing the pins and where I am inside the lock. In addition how can you tell the binding order so quickly? This is some serious skill...
When her parents come home in 5 minutes but there’s 16 locks on her chastity belt
notsevenfeettall not if I lock the door with those 16 locks ;)
So are we just ignoring the idea that he probably gets around enough to know how to last longer that 5 minutes?
@@yeetpeet9660 well, his girlfriend won't, with how skillful his fingers must be ^^
Solid comment 😂
BONK
Things the LPL never said:
"Oh shit, I forgot my keys."
I think he doesn't use keys in first place
This needs a follow-up where you see how long it takes to unlock them all working out which key matches which lock
probably longer
Longer
Def longer
It should be quicker, if he started with the keys separated, and left each one in the lock after unlocking. Still an interesting challenge though, if kept on the key ring.
It might take longer to unlock them all even knowing which keys go to which locks
"Do you have the key?"
"I am the key"
“I AM THE ONE WHO PICKS!”
Well now, that's just showing off lol :-)
LOL, maybe a little. But also lots of fun!
"This one quirk certainly slows me down"
>picks 16 locks at 15 seconds each
Nice flex
well, if he raked them, he'd probably spend more time picking the locks up than actually opening them ^^
I can just about match your time... for 1 Master Lock #3. Great job, well done.
LOL... not as hard as you might think. Practice is the key (and a bad pun)!
same
@Voltaic Fire not bad, 9/10 some were forced
Yep still couldn’t pick mine in the time it took him to pick 16 🤦♂️

Would have been fun to see how long it would take to open them with the keys as comparison ... not knowing witch key fits witch lock that is. :)
LoL... I just thought the same thing. It would probably take longer to match the keys with the locks.

Good idea. Maybe John Williams Jaws
You mean like this?

Somebody at MasterLock must have been sitting on the floor, in a corner, gibbering...
Thanks LPL.
Great job, love watching a pro make it look so easy. Bet it scares the hell out of Master lock:-)
I'm starting to think that master lock's core market lies with lockpicking enthusiasts as nobody in their right mind would use them as actual security measures...
The problem is that they're cheap and common. If you just go looking for a padlock, that's all some basic stores have.
This makes me wanna get into the lock picking hobby. My hobby list is getting to big lol.
You can learn to do these simple hardware store padlocks in an afternoon, it's shockingly easy!
With all that silence, the "nothing on one, click out of two, three is binding" in his head must have been deafening
@LockPickingLawyer - impressive as the picking is, I was even more impressed by the smoothness and speed with which you picked up each lock and put the tension tool in it. Didn't miss a beat, whereas I seem to be constantly dropping the turning tool, faffing about trying to get the tip of it in the sweet spot and not touching that first pin.

They were generally back to front (thus the direction in which I picked them), but there was a fair bit of variation... the highest two cuts had driver pins that were too short, so that really messed with the binding order.
Awesome job - very great fun to watch :-)

Almost 3.6 seconds a pin!! Pretty good!
LOL. I could have gotten blue-banded locks for $.05 per lock cheaper. I got red just for you. :-P
Takes me longer than that to find the damn key.
Nice job, very quick. Can't wait to see the padlock you were talking about last time. Also can't believe the NW4 went down that quick.
Thanks... and the new lock is the most epicist! ;-)
Just got my DT1. Can't wait to get a pick
Incredible! It would have taken me longer just to find the right key to some of the locks... 😂

No grandma, ain’t no one getting in your shed.

Nice time,
No way I can burn through 16 that quickly.
Great job
Thanks. You could, I think, if this was the way you practiced all the time... which it is for me.
im new to your videos and you got me into locksport btw, curious how fast you could rake them all.
A crew of 16 people that all locked out a piece of machinery could be in danger in less than 4 minutes.
Awsome work mate where abouts did ya get your tension wrench a pick from looks beast cheers all the way from australia...
Thanks. The tension wrench is a toothless .040" Peterson Pry Bar that I bent for comfort. The pick is an .018" standard hook from Peterson.
those are pretty good locks lol
You're a very fast lock picker LPL!
This gave me an idea (well, the comments did). You know how they have escape rooms. What if they have opposite and you have to break in. Maybe they already have something similar. Hell, maybe an escape room for lockpickers.
Nowadays, LPL is so proficient at opening No. 3s he'd probably open 4 of those in 16 seconds
I loved that video, brilliant! what are you going to come up with next!!!
Thanks... no plans on other time trials now, but I'm keeping my eyes open for deals on large lots.
@@lockpickinglawyer i just started trying to find bulk lots of locks on eBay and was wondering what keywords you use to search for that.
That’s amazing considering you had to apply the tensioner correctly every single time too.
Smoking performance... with picking like that I bet you need a new pick every week.
Great video as usual
Thanks... I very rarely break picks, but I do bend them quite a bit. Just bend them back and keep picking! You might be surprised how seldom I replace picks.

Just started learning to pick after watching you.
So I have a master # 3 that is much different, it’s from around 1990’s it cannot be shimmed as the mechanism slides sideways and I was able to pick it a couple of times but I think I damaged it because now the key doesn’t work.

Can you do a video on the technique of picking, am I using too much force, and on this particular lock when I use top of the keyway there’s no room for the pic to get in and also when I’m using top of the keyway how far do I push in the prybar because when I pushed mine in it bumped into the first pin so I couldn’t get to it.
I bought a bang good set for $16 that came with a clear lock so I’m using fairly normal pics they’re not homemade or anything I’ll look around your site and see if you have any instructional videos but I could really use help, how much pressure, how hard to push pins etc...

Wow. A lock race ..
Keep up .
this was satisfying to watch :)
They perform their function perfectly. What do you want from a tag out lock?
he he ... your a machine :)

He grinded his lockpicking so high he's doing challenge runs for lols
This is the Yoda of picking lock .
"Sir he uploaded a 7 minute video-"
"Thats great news!"
"... he picked 16 master locks"
I'm thinking it would take me ten minutes to unlock them all if you tossed the 16 keys at me to do so, lol.
Lock out tag out is the only place master lock should be used because the security of the lock isn't the function in that scenario. Now it all makes sense.
Brutal
I just got into this hobby (tools arrived today)….I can pick sparrows cut-away lock, but still have trouble with the “easy as it comes” master lock #3, even when using a rake.
I had the cylinder in a #3 lock break in half and it allowed the lock to open with something as simple a pocket knife
