Between you and LPL, the secret to lock picking is hairy arms
Im 32 years in prison i met ZERO criminals who picked. Not one.
And only 1 known case of a lock manipulation in the whole UK prison system.
Picking is largely an inefficient method of entry for crime.

I was a cop in a past life, decade ago. We had a tip that some guys were going to break into a store that night. We informed the owner, he was very concerned about the damage crooks would do to gain access. We played with different scenarios with owner, but in the end, we simply left the door unlocked. We watched the guys sneak up to the store, and one guy whipped a crowbar from under his jacket and immediately smashed to bits the glass door. So...
it doesn't matter how good your locks are or how strong your door is when you have windows. Unless you turn your house into fort Knox with barred windows and a steel door, it's much easier to just get good CCTV and insurance, so that if you are burgled, you won't pay much for it. Most houses aren't designed to be secure, they're designed to be lived in.
Agree that people need to think of security as a system with weaker and stronger links, rather than a "buy/do this and be 100% secure" concept.
If someone wants to break into your home badly enough, they'll find a way, whether you live in a cardboard box or Fort Knox. Much of the battle is just a matter of making your home less attractive of a target than others in your area.
A good insurance policy, good relations with your neighbors (watching out for each other, reporting anything suspicious, etc), and having relatively few high-value material goods worth stealing are all worth a lot in terms of security.
That nosey retiree next door who is always gossiping about what she sees through her windows? Don't mind her, just get on her good side and encourage her to call your cell and 911 if she sees anything suspicious; think of her as a free security guard.
Its always a third party that gets the criminal spotted! Always!
Nosy neighbor lady to the rescue!
The best addition to that 'free security system' is a canine intrusion detector, especially in the larger louder sizes. If trained well enough a dog is one of the best security systems there is, and even untrained dogs will bark enough to make that old lady neighbor take a closer look.
Really nice.video.. thoughtful.. helps to put lock picking as a security risk in context.
Thank you!
Excellent advice.
That's a cool lock. It really should have a modified compartment in it so you can store your X- tabs.
From my personal experience, no break ins I've dealt with ever were caused from lock picks. The windows of my doors are the lowest point of entry. That said. Living in Atlantic Canada I rarely lock my door. Can I pick a complicated lock? Of course. You want to be faster? Find a basement window and hop in and open it from the inside.
Hope everyone is staying safe
Fantastic video as is usual from you. Thank you from stopping me from trying to pick all of my house locks, when a burglar would realistically take a method of entry that requires less skill and energy!
Thank you for the kind words! Have you determined your houses weakest link? Are you going to fix it?

> Have you determined your houses weakest link? Are you going to fix it?
I can't respond to that ;)
@@Felipe2077tv he is not asking what the weakest link is. Only if you have uncovered it and made plans to fix it.
Where I live, (a rural area) locks are more likely to be attacked with force or destructive means, especially padlocks. Residential locks and doors are usually kicked in or loided. Like many have pointed out, windows are the biggest vulnerability. I’ve never even met another person that owns pick locally, but I have seen A LOT of cutters around. Great content 👍
Thank you!
What will blow people's minds more is criminals don't want to break residential windows they can kick the doors in faster and less noticeably
The trick is that the key was under the cowbell (?) the whole time.
New to lockpicking here. Anyone care to explain why it looks like there is a second, untensioned, tensioner in the lock while he's picking it?
I was using that as a shield for my actual tensioner. If I didn't have that tension wrench in there my actual tension wrench would have bound against the lock body instead of tensioning the core itself
Did he just remove a grub screw with a dimple pick? Thats it. I'm done with the internets today!

If you have a window on or next to your door that would allow someone to reach in and unlock the door then the deadbolt needs to require a key to open it on both sides.
Exactly. However how many people forgo security for the sake of convenience?
And when your house is on fire, you can't get out the front door because you don't have the key on you...pretty sure that violates fire code :P
@@norlin76 You can put a key near the door as long as it can't be reached or seen from the window. Preferably in a spot you can easily find it in the dark. If that is still a violation then the glass can be replaced with built proof glass or the windows can be removed from the house or the door can be replaced with one that doesn't have a window in it.
@@emeraldbonsai or use glass that's good to be next to impossible to break
@@emeraldbonsai good point
Sheeeeiiiiit I wasn’t impressed with that lockpick till I saw the key
I leave my door totally open and I replaced the security camera with an AR-15 above the door. No entry for now.
(i'm obviously joking, but maybe it can work)
Comments and video only state the exact reasons I hate houses with a fuck ton of windows. Be it a criminal, or a stalker or even the police... one rock and bam a easy entrance
I find 1.5% quite high. I'll search for the European statistics but I cannot imagine it higher than 0.1%.
The issue with having locks or doors that are relative easy to open without appearance damage is your insurance.
It'll be very difficult to prove you are burgled and get insurance to pay.
Just because pick resistance and lock quality go hand in hand it's worth not to skimp on it either.
Do all houses need a DOM diamant? No not really, but with it it's very unlikely someone will open the door without key or without damage.
Lastly there is no one size fits all. Do your research for your neighbourhood. Don't get something worse than what your neighbours have.
The Dutch public data is not this detailed.
Theft from houses AND burglaries are statistically a 1 in 200 year event.
But once you have been burgled you'll never feel safe again.
Also European safety standards are MUCH higher than that of the United States, I would be willing to bet the rate of lock picking burglary is an order of magnitude lower in Europe than in the US. US locks are garbage in comparison to European locks
He did the math wrong. He said 6.3% of unlawful entry is lock picking. Actually according to the source he presented, it's somewhere between 2.2% and 4.1%. Not enough info to determine the exact number. But yeah the overall number should actually be somewhere around 0.75%, not 1.5%
A nice lock on your front door is just advertising the nice stuff you have it protecting. Get cameras and good insurance instead because a burglar will find a way in if they want in.
Meth addicts cut through pharmacy ceilings ... Just putting that out there.
Absolutely
@@cosmicrider5898 or they open your garage/shed, grab your chainsaw and just cut through the wall of your house...
There are devices on Amazon to disarm any security camera. They're useless to the career criminal.
