Not with one of these cheap and awful master lock padlocks. I’ve seen people pick, or more accurately rake, them open in about 7 seconds. Not sure about he door bolt though.
Well they did say it requires about 5 minutes in nitrogen to cool the metal down enough fot it to be that brittle, but also the argument could be made about picking the door lock would probably be faster, as well as cutting the shackle on the other lock, it is still recommended not to do so for any other reason than testing, showing off and most importantly, with locks that are put in places only for said demonstrations.
I got that. I'm just saying that pouring liquid nitrogen on a door doesn't attract as much attention. I mean if you did it in the back yard with a privacy fence no one would notice that part. But people are going to hear BANG! BANG! BANG!
matter of fact, you dont need the gloves for anything really other than to hide your fingerprints at most, liquid nitrogen slides off your skin faster than it can burn you, unless it gets stuck say in a crevice if you were cupping liquid nitrogen in your palm kinda deal
Dr.Halloween Even that is fine in most cases (leidenfrost effect). there are rubber/latex/whatever gloves made for handling such cool liquids and esp. metals which are a good idea. because if you cool down say a lock or other metal parts and touch that, it will cause frost burns pretty damn fast
As I recall the reason to use CO2 to break a lock had nothing to do with time, but sound in fact after you freeze the lock you want to be careful what instrument you use to "break" the lock cause while the liquid Nitrogen does give you a quieter way in if you use something too heavy it makes a loud sound and you just defeated the purpose.
I'd like to see a race against an experienced lockpicker. Chances are, a lockpicker could make it through in even less time than even the brittle-ized lock. Heck, even a bump key would probably be faster, if it works.
they do have custom cylinders that inject liquid nitrogen into the lock cylinder for the sole purpose of super freezing the pins, at which point you insert the forged shim attached to the cylinder and snap/twist to the right or left. the pins shear and the lock just becomes a pretty accessory.
nuutti tuulosniemi, freon is only cold at liquid state. once exposed to oxygen or air, it changes to a gas state. and the gas state is actually hot. freon is only cold as a liquid. that is why for example a outdoor ac unit on a house blows hot air out of it to change back to a liquid. just thought I'd share that.
What if you use a paintball co2 canister and empty it on the lock to freeze it? Wouldn't it be faster? What about creating some sort of device that shoots co2 into the deadbolt and freeze from the inside out? I NEED ANSWERS!
Kari: Yeah, it’s probably not gonna catch on. Mr. Freeze: Woah, watching that gave me *chills*. That’s a *cool* idea that will let me break the *ice* on my next *cold* caper.
I'm surprised they didn't try the drill method. If you drill in the right place with a hardened drill bit, you can destroy the tumbler mechanism and just use a flathead screwdriver to turn the lock.
I had my magically delicious Lucky Charms locked up and someone stole all of it by using this damn method... thanks, MythBusters, Now I will starve to death.
Is there a reason they aren't counting the 4 minutes it takes to introduce the liquid nitrogen to the lock in the time it takes to break open? both times they said "oh it's so much faster" having taken an extra 4 minutes already on top.
How are they not counting the time it takes to use the liquid nitrogen? How is that a fair test. Lets just ignore the guy standing at the door with a tank of liquid nitrogen for 5 minutes until he hits it with a hammer then we will get suspicious
yeah that is exactly what I was thinking, the application time should be included since it is part of the process. unless you can get it opened without making the same loud sound there is no point.
ok, all you have to do is break the outer shell, then put a number 2 philips screwdriver in the hole where the deadbolt tailpiece once went through and turn it to retract to bolt.. use of unecessary force once the outer shell was gone.
You're missing the point. The question was not what's the best way to get through a locked door, that's with the key. The question was will freezing a lock make it easier to break.
In minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit the lock on my 53 foot dry van froze and the key would not work. Customer was waiting to get the parts I had on board to mlm eet a deadline. I took an 8 pound hand sledge hammer and broke it off. I hated -50. This was outside Chicago and I'm from the Pacific Northwest and it don't get that cold here!
surely they did try it on a flimsy door and yes, kicking it in would've been a lot easier. but what about security doors? my idea is that the locking mechanism is still way more fragile than the door itself, at that point, thinking to bash it once froze over, it's not that much of a crazy idea
if you liquid nitrogen in a can, just get a air spray, they clean the dust from the older keyboards, turn that shit upside down and boom, liquid nitrogen, plus its not just on the outside. you can spray it directly into the lock and it freezes both sides instead of one side like this
They do know that there’s a difference between picking a lock and boot force opening a door right, I was expecting them to do a control of someone picking a lock with a lock picks
I used to work as security at a car dealership in the new car storage depot. When I locked up, it was only a single large padlock for the gates. Although there's CCTV, it wasn't monitored at night. EASILY break in now! We stored Porsches, Saabs and Audis. Petty I can't afford to be caught but for those in a life of crime....very tempting. Not to mention that as a minimum wage security guard, I had access to ALL keys, including the cars.
I wonder if by spraying the liquid nitrogen into the lock, if you could unlock the door forcefully with a flat head screw driver. Using a compressed air canister would be really easy to spray the liquid inside the lock (they usually come with a small straw like nozzle)
I knew the myth a bit different. If you use a deodorant, so it goes, and you freeze the loxk with it it would become brittle enough to shatter when you smash it. I wished they had tried it with this method as well, since this is a totally possible and cheap way. Getting your hands on liquid nitrogen and transporting it to the object would not only be pretty expensive and difficult but you would be stopped by suspicious cops in action. It's not very unobtrusive
5 minutes and 37 seconds without liquid nitrogen and 1 minute 4 seconds with, but they failed to add the 4 ½ minutes of exposing the lock to the liquid nitrogen! Anyone using liquid nitrogen to break in through a lock would have to include that time, because the locks obviously don't come, "pre-frozen," lol so they should have included the freezing time to their overall test times here, too.
1. thermal insulated vat of liquid nitrogen 2 .large amount of safety stuff 3. on for 5 min 4.3 people suck that 1. like 1 or 2 cans of air 2 .welders gloves or leather gloves 3 turn upside down and spray 4 just you
there is a difference between picking a lock and destroying it.

thankyou

Not sure about he door bolt though.
"you need a large amount of safety equipment"
Ah yes because a burglar would totally wear his PPE for a break in.
Maybe not a year ago, but a courteous one today would.
@@c-5921Update from 2023.
Nowadays they shoot you in the face and grab the key from you. 😂
they should count the time it takes to use the liquid nitrogen because if someone saw you doing that they would probably call the cops too

+Keitaro Tsurugi what if you userd colin fuzes ice man kit
Blue Wolf yeah. but you're not waking the neighbors with a sledgehammer
Timothy Creighton maybe you missed the "too" at the end of my comment. Too meaning also, meaning both situations someone would call the cops.
I got that. I'm just saying that pouring liquid nitrogen on a door doesn't attract as much attention. I mean if you did it in the back yard with a privacy fence no one would notice that part. But people are going to hear BANG! BANG! BANG!
it only took tory longer with the padlock because the crowbar slipped first time
In Flynn plus they didn’t add how long it took the nitrogen
Pretty sure I can just pick a masterlock with a straw and a piece of straw. If you doubt me, ask BosnianBill.
+aethertech thought the same :D
LockPickingLawyer haha
thermos, gloves, hammer, screwdriver, 1 person.
Gloves are counterintuitively, worse for you as they provide crevices between the fabric for the liquid nitrogen to stay and do damage.
Rubber gloves?
matter of fact, you dont need the gloves for anything really other than to hide your fingerprints at most, liquid nitrogen slides off your skin faster than it can burn you, unless it gets stuck say in a crevice if you were cupping liquid nitrogen in your palm kinda deal

Crowbars, hammers, stuff like that...
I expected him to say something like LOCK PICKS
I see you don't own a regular burglar kit. ;)
Does the 5 minutes to freeze count?
It's so cold it freezes time, so no, doesn't count.
+PUDDLEZ Inc haha good
There isnt a sledgehammer waking up the neighbourhood so nah i disagree.
they're testing if liquid N makes it easier to break by measuring time. Not how long it all takes with freezing. Just normal lock vs frozen lock test
I kept on thinking about Yzma and her brilliant, brilliant, brilliant plan whenever the said “smash it with a hammer”.😂
"Did we just teach our viewers easier methods of breaking and entering?" Tori "ya, pretty cool huh!" I love it haha!
Yeah nobody is gonna be suspicious at all with some guys with a big tank of nitrogen freezing a lock lol
@@RMJ1984 What about freezing kit for wart removal readily available at a pharmacy?
those master locks are crap :D

The padlock was a Master lock. You can open those with harsh language.
Everytime Kari is staring at Grant with a huge grin on her face, I almost hear her thoughts: "lol, what a nerd"
So where do I get liquid nitrogen... for uh science.
I mean, that *is* what liquid nitrogen is for, 99% of the time.. science.
Matt Merrill use freon instead ;^)
nuutti tuulosniemi, freon is only cold at liquid state. once exposed to oxygen or air, it changes to a gas state. and the gas state is actually hot. freon is only cold as a liquid. that is why for example a outdoor ac unit on a house blows hot air out of it to change back to a liquid. just thought I'd share that.
If you are thinking about freezing your balls and try to ejaculate, that wont work, it gets stcuk
Matt Merrill u can go to a store in the us legit or make ur own or order some
My burglar kit is a 12 gauge, for defense.
It's funny how they think they're lockpicking.
That control padlock is a master #3 notorious for their crap performance
Dicks X McIronCocke the sledgehammer was a waste. you can open it a lot quieter with a shim

wow I saw this so many times in movies. that's really cool that it works
See some crackhead trying break into a house with dry ice thinking it’s the same thing, getting frost bite along the way 😂😂😂
I'm surprised they didn't try the drill method. If you drill in the right place with a hardened drill bit, you can destroy the tumbler mechanism and just use a flathead screwdriver to turn the lock.
you don't need liquid nitrogen to do this, buy a can of air duster and hold it upside down, then spray.
A master lock would have that effect without liquid nitrogen
This was the best show
Just call the LockPickingLawyer
He looks like a Steve Erwin and Dave Mustaine crossover 😂
Because a good burglar never forgets his trusty canister of liquid nitrogen
I had my magically delicious Lucky Charms locked up and someone stole all of it by using this damn method... thanks, MythBusters, Now I will starve to death.
never leave home without it
No locks were picked in this video. Words have meaning.
4:05 I wish they had tested the portable wart remover as a chilling agent for breaking the locks.
"hello this lock picking lawyer"
Everyone prepares their can's of air for the revolution...
Hold those computer spray things upside down with the nozzle in the lock, it has a similar effect ;)
what an elegant mind
well they didnt include the time they have to soak the lock , meaning it would take too long to break the lock
Is there a reason they aren't counting the 4 minutes it takes to introduce the liquid nitrogen to the lock in the time it takes to break open? both times they said "oh it's so much faster" having taken an extra 4 minutes already on top.
Grats in breaking a master lock lol
Well now you know what to bring when you rob a house
yep kicking the door in is still the most effective
some locks like the one i have on my trailer can't use it because the slider or the metal curved piece is blocked by solid bronze
that deadbolt.... i could instruct a newbie on how to pick locks and get him to open it in that time
Who needs to pick a lock when you have a battering ram
Why would anybody ever have liquid nitogen with them? Plus if you have a sledgehammer, what do you need the nitrogen for?
now I know how to break into a house lol
Shouldn't you count the time your soaking the lock in liquid nitrogen? (during the 2nd part)
this works with canned air as well, you can turn it upsidedown and spray it directly into the pin system...
Nah. Just ask the Lock Picking Lawyer and he'll pick the lock before you could even say 'liquid nitrogen'.
hammer? Das a friggin sledgehammer
What Season is this? cause I live in Australia, and we only get up to Season 7...
thanks for advice
How are they not counting the time it takes to use the liquid nitrogen? How is that a fair test. Lets just ignore the guy standing at the door with a tank of liquid nitrogen for 5 minutes until he hits it with a hammer then we will get suspicious

Erwin Schrodinger Yeah and i was thinking, yh they said that why don't u just watch the entire fucking video, like really?
Awesome
ok, all you have to do is break the outer shell, then put a number 2 philips screwdriver in the hole where the deadbolt tailpiece once went through and turn it to retract to bolt.. use of unecessary force once the outer shell was gone.
Cool
That's why most thieves just kick the door in. They ignore the lock and break the 1/2" of wood that holds the lock in place.
You're missing the point. The question was not what's the best way to get through a locked door, that's with the key. The question was will freezing a lock make it easier to break.
When the show was on Kari Byron has red hair Jessie once brought in with Scottie they have blonde hair.
Isnt about the same time if they soaked the door lock for 4 minutes before Tori started hammering?
You can turn a small can of R12 upside down to apply to any lock, and get the same results
In minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit the lock on my 53 foot dry van froze and the key would not work. Customer was waiting to get the parts I had on board to mlm eet a deadline. I took an 8 pound hand sledge hammer and broke it off. I hated -50. This was outside Chicago and I'm from the Pacific Northwest and it don't get that cold here!
I think the fastest way for a padlock is to just break it open using two spanners....
easy, quiet and clean
dude, you can do it with one person, but around the same length of time, you don't even need the nitrogen tank they use. There is an easier way
They use Free-on. they stole my bike that way
surely they did try it on a flimsy door and yes, kicking it in would've been a lot easier. but what about security doors? my idea is that the locking mechanism is still way more fragile than the door itself, at that point, thinking to bash it once froze over, it's not that much of a crazy idea
I like how they say token disclaimer when you can bump key these cheap bolt locks in seconds.
Or just kick it down, or use a sawzall
if you liquid nitrogen in a can, just get a air spray, they clean the dust from the older keyboards, turn that shit upside down and boom, liquid nitrogen, plus its not just on the outside. you can spray it directly into the lock and it freezes both sides instead of one side like this
yeah lemme just drag my tank of liquid nitrogen to every house i rob
I wish they did more research on the lock picking portion. Im pretty sure people aren't lock picking by pounding the door with sledge hammer....
Sean is really really good not a right to right
When it comes right down to it, there are far easier ways to get through a lock.
Not only that, it causes the metal to shrink which means that metal parts are looser.
240p goddamn that's a throwback
Why is the corner of that table so sharp?
someone broke into my house alot faster than this
They should've heated the lock before the N2 so it gives it thermal shock and breaks faster :D
They do know that there’s a difference between picking a lock and boot force opening a door right, I was expecting them to do a control of someone picking a lock with a lock picks
in burn notice Michael used upside down compressed air to freeze the lock
Pad locks use tungsten I thought if so you can break it by simply hitting it with a hammer hard enough due to it being so brittle

Torys heard of a Lockpick set right??? XD
They had so much safety gear for dealing with liquid nitrogen compared to king of random
they needed LPL
TO FIND A "REGULAR CURGLER KIT", YOU HAVE TO FIND A "REGULAR BURGLAR"
Bash the door in with the sledgehammer instead... Sure, isn't silent, but it works
Ye, but its quite hard when you aint lvl100 in lockpicking xD

They didn't show a heat sensitive camera to confirm when the lock had cooled down. I don't think 4-1/2 minutes was needed.
1. thermal insulated vat of liquid nitrogen 2 .large amount of safety stuff 3. on for 5 min
4.3 people suck that 1. like 1 or 2 cans of air 2 .welders gloves or leather gloves 3 turn upside down and spray 4 just you
With the 4 min of soak time is it not slower?
So many easier ways to get those locks open...
They forgot to factor in the soak of nitrogen. Therefore making it slower in all tests.
Two wrenches for the padlock
I see they spared no expense with the padlock, Masterlock are the best. /s
Also that is not how you break into a house, you just... Er nevermind.
Lockpick lawer picks it in 2sec lol
if the door was liquid nitrogen- proof, it should be one of this turcian doors
or just canned air and a screw driver
