JonnyBMK they should hold lockpicking competitions on those bridges. Each picker gets a section and 30 minutes to remove as many locks as possible. A lot cheaper than sending out crews to cut them off, and spectators could be charged for admission.

@@mikoajp.5890 working on more and more difficult spools atm. one of the most frustrating things is dropping every pin i've set because i'm trying to set a spool 😅
Locksmith: "I have made a lock that needs you to put the key into a portal and summon a lesser eldritch god of the 18th dimension to..." LPL: So with the remains of a soda can....
I laughed when he commented on it being pin3 while picking it up and putting it into tray pos2, and then again when he pulled pin2 out and was visibly confused/stunned that there was already something in tray pos2.
I watched this video right before I went to a dental cleaning and couldn't shake the feeling that I was a lock being picked. "Wide open keyway. Some of these have 32 pins but this one seems to be missing the last pin in each row. Looks like they're all standard...."
I was thinking the exact same when he was talking about picking the lock. Very dentist like; technical talk I can't understand and prodding with multiple fine implements.
Hello there! Since you're closing in on the 1000th episode I would like to submit an idea. I recon your viewership has been getting bigger and bigger by the day and it may be that many people (me included) are not that familiar with the lockpicking world. I find your videos really entertaining to watch but often can't quite understand every technical terms you're using. And even though a Google search will answer most of my questions, I really think it would be sweet to have you do a special episode (or maybe series even) on lockpicking 101. What is a spool, a false set, different kinds of keyways and all that kind of stuff we hear you say all the time! You are very articulate and easy to understand for people not so good in English, so I believe I'm not the only one who would really love that kind of content, and 1000 episodes seem to be a landmark worth doing something a bit different for. Anyway, that's all I have to say to you for today, have a nice day! And thanks for all the great videos!
Lpl is really more about picking and reviewing locks at a really high skill level, I prefer Bosnianbill to learn about them instead. Both are great and you should sub to both!
agreed, a lockpicking 101 from LPL would be amazing. Seems a lot of his viewers are like us and probably have no idea how we got here but damn it's interesting so we've stayed :D Some information on the terms we keep hearing would be really nice. I know Bosnian Bill does some educational vids but I just don't quite like his style or voice as much as I like LPL's :/
Kevin Benoit a detent is an item that holds something in place - usually a ball in a hole that partially pushes through or a captive pin. Sometimes a detent is a lever or catch. Spring bias just means the spring is prone to keeping something at 12 o clock (top, imagine a watchface) or gives more resistance when you move past/away from that position. In this case the detent is used to tend to keep it at the top aligned position.
This is a good idea, perhaps he could give some advice on how to get into lock picking as a hobby in the same video, just to flesh it out a little more.
ruclips.net/video/93yoR_aEhTM/видео.html This is one of his videos where he reassembles a padlock. Once you see it done, it doesn't look as bad as it sounds, though that could be said of any of his videos where he makes the most arduous of picks look trivial.
Peter : Do you want to use the curved pick? LPL : No thanks, i'll just use the straight one Peter : Ok, goodluck LPL : *Picks the lock with a straight pick* Peter : wait no
@@Chaooo Umm boy, a lock is the same lock no matter where it is. Lpl could pick it the same way under any resonable conditions. The straight pick simpky worked because the keyway wasnt quite curved enough.
God I love how short and easy he just goes through the locks. I've been on a binge watch of his videos after randomly stumbling upon him and I gotta say I really really enjoy these short videos. It keeps me engaged and eager for more lol
Nice design idea, although I think it would work better against picking if the pins were in the opposite side of the curve. As then you need to go around the bend to get the back pins.
I really admire the detail you provide while you're picking the keyway, describing what is happening and the back and forth. Also the rest of your depth on this and other videos. Thank you for producing this high quality material for us!
I can't help but be impressed that it took you even that long to get it open. It feels like very few locks take you more than about 90 seconds to get into, at the most. Very cool lock, either way. Thanks for showing us, and thanks for all that you do!
My little brother got a locksmith license a while back just because he wanted one idk. He showed me how to pick a few simple locks and I felt like a badass mofo. After watching your videos for the past few days it's clear to me that you sir, are the badass😎😎
Ya know.. Some people would probably consider this sharing sacred information, being it's lock smithing. You're basically teaching everyone to be a locksmith. Much respect for sharing info like this, making it easier for EVERYONE to learn, if they so choose
Hey LPL I learned about lock picking the day I forgot my toolbox keys and couldn’t work without them but that was years ago, anyway I’m just getting back into the hobby and have learned a lot watching you and Bosnian Bill. thank you for the great content.
Ok, you've picked everything now. Time to design your own pick-proof lock for 2020 to challenge yourself and competitors. You'd make a fortune in sales, too.
"Let's make it curved to make it resistant to picking" -"Cool idea" --Makes the curve slight enough so a straight pick can still pick it --Makes the lock out of cast zinc so a lighter can pick it open.
Can the next person who sends a strange lock to LPL do this WITHOUT the key or any info on how strange it is? :P I'm really curious to learn how much the obscurity of these kind of locks slows a picker down.
He usually does one or two practice picks prior to turning on the cameras. He does not state it on all the videos, but he does sometimes say that it went quicker or slower on the first couple of attempts.
They also had to make rather elaborate specialty tools though. Considering the need for those tools, plust the time taken, it makes the Bowley fairly secure. No lock is unpick-able or indestructible, it's just there to buy time for a thief to be caught, or discourage them so they go for an easier target.
@@kauske Those locks were opened with tools made specifically for those individual locks after using the original keys to inspect the internals. I'll loan a Bowley with anti tamper tape and no keys to anyone who wants to claim they can 'pick' it open.
@@amir3515: Far as I've seen, the methods used did not provide a means of reliably picking just any Bowley. The lock is a near-perfect example of elegant design that renders picking, not impossible, but a virtually total non-issue in practical terms. I regard it a certainty that no one who owns an angle grinder and/or a sledge-hammer, crowbar, etc., will EVER execute an actual break-in by picking a Bowley lock.
Hi Harry, The curved key and keyway is fairly unique, and they have considered pick resistance with the spools. I'm guessing their main concern was key control. In Asian countries there is often little key cutting stalls on street corners, and even mobile key cutters with machines on the backs of small motor cycles. Unauthorized key duplication would be difficult, even by altering an existing "flat" dimple key, creating the curve would be difficult. The other problem is the curved key would not sit in the jaws of most dimple duplicating machines, thus key control would be reasonably effective. Regards, Brian.
Probably not all that worse than having 5-6 keys plus a fob and key-tags. Most people have a fairly full key-ring anyhow, between house, vehicle and possibly work or storage keys.
This is an interesting design. It's always a pleasure to watch you perform your own cool brand of anti security magic. I'd love to see you test and pick open a so called "Snake key" lock which is a similar but, more extreme style lock. I have no idea where you could get one but, it would be great to see you defeat another "unpickable" lock.
These videos are fascinating. You pick all these locks with such ease. I wonder if you’ve ever failed to pick a lock? Is there such thing as an unpickable lock?
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa! It kinda’ would be nice to see what that would look like! He gets angry, starts cussing and swearing and throwing things across the room! 🤣 He has stated, LThere isn’t a lock I cannot pick.” He has also stated, “There are a few locks I can’t pick Right Now.” He has a few special ones that he continues to work on....he won’t show us those, until he does!
Interesting lock. I think the curved keyway is a little marketing thing, it makes it look safe in it's apparent complexity. Thanks for the great vids. Lock on😎
Your "vice" is my "pole mount" for cameras 'n speakers 'n stuff XD They just put the "tripod", in reverse, on that large gray base. That's pretty awesome re-purposing.
You should make a video series of real-world picks. Go find random locks in acceptable places (friends, willing participants, etc.) and pick everything the eye can see!
I’ll be honest I still have no fucking clue what he’s really doing when he picks but that doesn’t stop me binging these videos like it’s my main field of interest

I want a lock to win in one of these episodes :(.
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa! It kinda’ would be nice to see what that would look like! He gets angry, starts cussing and swearing and throwing things across the room! 🤣 He has stated, LThere isn’t a lock I cannot pick.” He has also stated, “There are a few locks I can’t pick Right Now.” He has a few special ones that he continues to work on....he won’t show us those, until he does!
there was one
i think it was called the bowley lock or something like that
It took more than a minute for the LPL to pick it. This one is a keeper guys!
Cayman Island bank safety deposit box lock where Dr. No stores his gold.
Interesting lock. I think the curved keyway is a little marketing thing, it makes it look safe in it's apparent complexity. Thanks for the great vids. Lock on😎
You could have used one of your bendy black flags...!
YESSSSS THE MINI VICE IS BACK. It’s so cute that you have to hit the thumbs up button.
Whenever I hear a lock is made of cast zinc, I just want to melt it.
That was my thought when he mentioned that. They've put that BB in the face for drill protection, but you could melt it out in minutes.
i see the video is 8 minutes and i got so excited i popped popcorn before starting.
*It would be interesting*
to see you pick a so called _"Unpickable Lock"_
You are a Master. Thank you for sharing.
Your "vice" is my "pole mount" for cameras 'n speakers 'n stuff XD
They just put the "tripod", in reverse, on that large gray base. That's pretty awesome re-purposing.
Imagine how good of a dentist this guy would be!!!
Very peculiar thing. Never seen one like this before. Thanks for sharing!
You should make a video series of real-world picks. Go find random locks in acceptable places (friends, willing participants, etc.) and pick everything the eye can see!
koalabear555 good idea
I wouldn't expect anything less from the "locksmith lawyer" but damn that was impressive how you opened that.
Great picking, interesting lock as well,loved the curved key
I’ll be honest I still have no fucking clue what he’s really doing when he picks but that doesn’t stop me binging these videos like it’s my main field of interest
You know those locks... They have CURVED keys... Curved keys !
4:28 love how the number 3 pin jumped out and into the correct bay
This guy is like a gynaecologist. I had a friend who was a gynaecologist and he could decorate his hall and stairs through his letterbox
LPL you've got me inspired... One of my close friends met you at Def Con and recommended I buy my first set of picks from TOOOL so i did : )
LPL you are terrifyingly good at picking. Makes me wonder how many other lockpick artists there are in the world that could get into any of my things
