Just looks like a heap of money to me.. I looked at getting one a day ago and depending on the color I want they go from $80 each to $170 each.. The $80 dollar one is only a single color and all the others are over one hundred dollars each.. Where I'm located at the moment this is turning out to be a much more expensive hobby than I thought.
I've heard that some Lock Sportsters are also meth heads, who stay up all night fumbling around with locks. Picking, pinning, impressioning, all night long!
Ok...that’s damn impressive. I jumped into this hobby with 2 feet over the last few weeks and at this point I would be happy if I could open my one 1100.
This is currently one of my favorite videos. Mostly because I am using it as inspiration to improve my own skills. Currently my best time is 6 1100's in just over 11 minutes. Sometimes I can get one open in under 30 seconds, and sometimes a single lock will take a few minutes by itself. I am trying to figure out why it takes so long for some but not others. I'm hoping that if I can figure that out and overcome it, that I might be able to eventually achieve a time closer to the one demonstrated in this video. In the mean time though, I'll just keep practicing every day. Maybe I'll eventually feel confident enough to make a few youtube videos of my own some day.
Man 26.25 seconds average per lock. You are one awesome dude at this craft and you’re extremely gifted. Whether that be the raw talent or the countless hours you’ve put in.
That’s actually an interesting question. What would be the average time to open 16 locks with 16 shuffled keys? If n is the number of locks and keys and it takes s seconds to try a key, my theory is that, on average, it would take s*(n^2+n)/4 seconds. For 16 locks and two seconds per try, that’s 136 seconds. The least it could take would be n*s seconds if you guessed right every time. The most it could take, if you tried the right remaining key last every time, would be s*(n^2+n)/2. For 16 locks and 2 seconds per try, that’s 32 seconds minimum and 272 seconds maximum. So, definitely faster unless you took over 6 seconds per try.
You're quite an inspiration! I finally got a re-pin able challenge lock for Christmas so I'll be on my way soon. Definitely harder than you make it look
Yeah, I can do this. Oh wait. 16 locks? I thought you said 16 minutes... To prepare my work area. The fact you destroyed the time, while building a pyramid out of the lock corpses is crazy to me
Hi Harry, talk about a pickfest! I'm watching your pick, I'm watching your pry bar, and I'm watching your finger on the pry bar, you have certainly nailed these often tricky locks. Impressive! Regards, Brian.
Thanks... I do the same thing -- watch the tension/torque finger -- while watching others pick. I'm convinced that most experienced pickers do not even realize how active that finger is. Only with difficulty can I consciously pay attention to what I am doing, and my picking results usually suffer when I try to consciously control tension. Strange.
Great job. You should get a cake with sixteen candles. Ok, well maybe not that, but something else good. I too was impressed with how much finger movement you had. Also, it helps for me to hear you don't exactly pay conscious attention. I am new to the sport and I sometimes do my best picks when I am somewhat distracted - like while watching a video. From now on I will pull my blast visor down and "Use the force Luke".
Kirk Johnson lol. Definitely keep the blast visor down! Also, I do pay attention... VERY close attention. I wasn't speaking so I could pay even closer attention to the feedback. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. Also, I pick faster than I speak, so at this speed, narration wouldn't make sense.
theoneandonlyghandi what is the best common locks in your neck of the woods? I'm interested in trading some of mine for more rare locks here in the USA
The ones I mainly see are Master, Abus and Lockwood for larger padlocks. It is Lane, Lockwood and Ilco for house door cylinders. Some businesses/schools have BiLock or Mul-T type if they're after a bit more peace of mind (perceived security) and I think it is more for key control than actual security. Being that this is only a hobby for me and I've only been doing it for a few months, I only have a few locks myself and they're all pretty well worn from picking but I hope to buy a BiLock padlock soon - they are so bloody expensive yet it is cheaper and easier for me to buy one from the US and ship it here than it is for me to source one through an Australian locksmith.
WOW man!!! Mad props! Great job picking those so quickly. I Imagine if i really pushed myself I might be able to get 1 per minute, but 16 in 7 minutes... no way. Once again Great Job!
Thanks... I had to go back to see what you were talking about. I thought the lock was picked, but it was just a deep false set. Since I always start in the front and move back, it was lucky that a pin in front was the culprit.
Awesome job. I used to love doing this with all my regular pin tumbler padlocks. I kinda screwed myself by giving out all of them in trades and bought or got in trades a lot harder locks.
My office workers call on me to pick office doors, desks, and locks that they've lost keys to. On one hand I'm proud that I'm called on for such a task. On the other hand I am terrified that if something goes missing, I will be the first to be called out.
This shouldn’t be your or anyone’s first lock to pick. Way too difficult for a new picker. Try a simple 4 or 5 pin lock with no security pins. Better still, buy a progressive lock pick set to start practicing on, starting at 2 pins and up.
Yes, I think your skills have developed since then hahaha :), that was absolute awesome :D. Didn't read the full title and thought, well you make probably 10 :). I doubt anyone else could do this, was really fun to watch and once more shows your great 🔓 picking skills 👍 :).
LOL. I think so. I was expecting/hoping to break 10 locks/10 minutes, but never dreamed that I would get through them all... and certainly not with 3 minutes to spare! This might have been one of those moments when the stars aligned!
That was fantastic - an impressive display of lockpicking skill! Somehow I don't think that Master Locks is going to be linking to your video though :) Great Job!
I picked up a new 1100 recently. The bitting is 42724. It's loaded with security pins. The crunching and resistance stout!! I've been able to pick it ONCE since bought it, and that was on the day I bought it. I noticed on another LPL video with a bunch of 1100s, I could see the bitting on the keys. Those keys didn't look anything like 42724. The bitting looked rather uncomplicated.
Great controlled picking on all Sir. I love the tension wrench with the bend in it. I have trouble picking with a prybar in hand as it tends to ping out, but your bar would probably work wonders. Great picking again ;o))))
Thanks. I will get one of those cooking jet lighters and have a go. So did you pop it in a vice, heat where you wanted the bend then use pliers to bend then quench in water, and does it bend easy?
Hi LockPickingLawyer I've recently re-pinned one of my 1100s and I'm struggling to pick it. I'm finding it very difficult to feel the difference between binding pins and zero lift pins. What do you feel or look for to identify zero lift pins? Thank you!
WOW WOW THAT IS INCREDIBLE. UNDER 7MINUTES. I THINK WE COULD ENTER THAT TIME IN GENESIS .VARY NICELY DONE. YOU HAD 3MINUTES 3SECONDS LEFT YOU HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO NARRATE.LOL LOL.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😎
Older noob question. Which key blank fits the these 1100's? After watching your channel, I have decided to fulfill this old passion of locksport. Thanks for the inspiration!
One thing I've learned from LPL - is consistency in - 1. Tension. He applies the heaviest tension possible at all times. 2. Always starts at the front pin, working pin by pin to the back, then start over again at the front. No bitch picking.. 3. The use of a short hook. I rarely have seen him use anything other than a Peterson short hook. Sizes vary between 15, 18, and 25 .000th, but always a Peterson Short Hook. I personally believe it's those 3 things that add up to being so good and consistent for LPL. I don't own any Peterson short hooks yet. I have 2 Gems. 1 in 18, and the other in 15. Watching LPL enough with his Peterson short hooks - I think it's time to buy myself a few.
Hey LPL, I´d love to see you trying this challenge again after years of experience. Maybe with an unreaslistic amount of spare locks this time, just to be sure? I´d put my money on 27 this time^^
very cool challenge! at first i was thinking they were all keyed alike until you showed the keys they have some crazy bitting....do the 11oo come w security pinz ? i was very impressed as always. love ur stuff. have a good day!
"If you have any questions, comment below..." Yeah, I have a question: if you're a lawyer who mentioned DC, you can't be Matt Murdock, AKA comic book superhero Daredevil because he lives in Hell's Kitchen, NYC, so, my question is - where in the HELL did you get your superpowers?!?
He is a lawyer during the day, and a professional lockpicker for hire during the night. He started out small, but with hard work got where he is now. He is the Hero people dont want, but the lockpicker everyone needs. He is the LockPickingLawyer.
Soooo, I just started picking now 10 days ago. Yesterday I received a batch of 20 of these and since then I've picked 14 of them. There's still 6 I can't open even looking at the key but 14 of them went down pretty quickly. What's up with that? I've got masterlock ones and threes and unbranded Chinese locks I can't open and yet the 1100 on at least a bunch of them seems to provide better feedback from the pins. Anyone else notice this? (I think the ones I can't pick have security key pins. Ima start gutting them)
I've been a big fan of the 5 minute challenge on r/lockpicking. Thought that was a great idea. Posted one of my own. The time element adds another challenge.
If I stopped the clock at 5 minutes, that would have been 12 locks. Not bad. :-D Time definitely adds an element of stress to the picking. I was surprised when I laid everything out to start this video that my heart sped up in anticipation! I've never picked under the gun before. I think it helped... Which I suppose shouldn't surprise me. I tend to focus and do my best professional work under pressure.
That's nothing, I can pick one in 6 minutes... Wait what? 16? Who has 16 1100's! 7 minutes! I quit picking...
LOL... I actually have quite a few more 1100's. Just no other new ones... had to keep the deck stacked in my favor!
We'll get one out to you soon enough! (formerly NothingIsSecure)
I've been in contact with a guy who can ship a load at a time for like $10 each but don't think my order of 5 was big enough :(
Same, I picked my 1166 in 6 minutes watching this. Slightly disheartening to hear locks popping every 20 seconds or so while I struggle haha.
Just looks like a heap of money to me..
I looked at getting one a day ago and depending on the color I want they go from $80 each to $170 each..
The $80 dollar one is only a single color and all the others are over one hundred dollars each..
Where I'm located at the moment this is turning out to be a much more expensive hobby than I thought.
"Looks like I can pick this 1100 in 10 seconds. Better buy another 15 to be sure". :)
LOL... fair enough, but these are AWESOME practice locks.
Sir you must go for 20 now! It has been 6 years so you are probably even better now than ever
I love that you were up and picking locks at 2 AM 😂 (according to the phone clock)
I've heard that some Lock Sportsters are also meth heads, who stay up all night fumbling around with locks. Picking, pinning, impressioning, all night long!
After two years of on and off picking and being a huge fan, I just picked my first American 1100 successfully!
Ok...that’s damn impressive. I jumped into this hobby with 2 feet over the last few weeks and at this point I would be happy if I could open my one 1100.
Exactly what I’m thinking. Only about a week into picking right now. Can’t seem to get a feel for the serrated pins yet.
I'm a out 3 or 4 weeks in and still can't beat these buggers
I'll probably be stuck with mf masterlock for a few months
This is currently one of my favorite videos. Mostly because I am using it as inspiration to improve my own skills. Currently my best time is 6 1100's in just over 11 minutes.

Still rubbing my eyes - you've got the feel. Outstanding job - thanks for the amazing show :-)
LOL. Thanks. I've leaned heavily on American Lock products as my practice locks since the very beginning, so picking these locks is like coming home!
That was so good now I have to start bragging about you more to my family and friends.
+Tuna Fish LOL. Sure, spread the word. *LPL pictures the blank look on his wife's face when he tells her about lock picking, and chuckles to himself.*
Love your vids
"2:15 AM". You did this sleep deprived, too?
ghostzart woah I read this at 2:15am lmao and I gotta be up at 4:30am just gonna stay up at this point till work
Man 26.25 seconds average per lock. You are one awesome dude at this craft and you’re extremely gifted. Whether that be the raw talent or the countless hours you’ve put in.
I love that you’re exhausted by the end of the video. Intense lock workout!
Awesome! Great skills and concentration. Love how sharp your videos are. No BS! Great stuff, thank you for sharing!
+Corey Kurtz Thanks!
THAT was incredible! Absolutely incredible!
+Mark England Thanks.
The real question is: if you gave someone the pile of 16 keys randomly, could they open all 16 faster than this?
That’s actually an interesting question. What would be the average time to open 16 locks with 16 shuffled keys? If n is the number of locks and keys and it takes s seconds to try a key, my theory is that, on average, it would take s*(n^2+n)/4 seconds. For 16 locks and two seconds per try, that’s 136 seconds. The least it could take would be n*s seconds if you guessed right every time. The most it could take, if you tried the right remaining key last every time, would be s*(n^2+n)/2. For 16 locks and 2 seconds per try, that’s 32 seconds minimum and 272 seconds maximum. So, definitely faster unless you took over 6 seconds per try.
THAT, detective, is the correct question.
You're quite an inspiration! I finally got a re-pin able challenge lock for Christmas so I'll be on my way soon. Definitely harder than you make it look

"I guess I got a little bit better since then" - LOL what an understatement. Been watching LPL since video 244!
Great job there, just making the rest of us feel even more inadequate 😇😇😇😇😇
I just wish I had 16 1100's to pick 😰😰
I'd be happy with 1. I'm in Australia so they're not exactly a common lock here.
I'm in the UK, so similar here

That has to be some kind of record! Insane skills
Thanks.
6:50 min, 25,6 s / lock. Sometimes I need more time just to fetch the right key for a lock.
LOL.
That was pretty crazy. Great job LPL
Thanks
I’m glad he slowed the video down so our mortal eyes can see how fast he’s going
WOW man!!! Mad props! Great job picking those so quickly. I Imagine if i really pushed myself I might be able to get 1 per minute, but 16 in 7 minutes... no way. Once again Great Job!
Thanks... you could do it. It just takes time.
Oldie but a goldie 👍🏻
Cracking job! I enjoyed seeing the
Thanks... I had to go back to see what you were talking about. I thought the lock was picked, but it was just a deep false set. Since I always start in the front and move back, it was lucky that a pin in front was the culprit.
LockPickingLawyer I was thinking that pin one is the likely underset when using a TOK. again nice picking!
Hmmm... that could have been the case. Probably a high one up front. They are always tricky.
Great picking.You always make it look so easy
Thanks... I practice on 1100's often. That helps.
like watch you pick locks , you make it look so easy , keep the vids coming ....Thank you
+Gazza D Thanks.
Awesome job. I used to love doing this with all my regular pin tumbler padlocks. I kinda screwed myself by giving out all of them in trades and bought or got in trades a lot harder locks.
Thanks... I still do this all the time (but not with time pressure) with all kinds of locks... see video 182. :-)
My office workers call on me to pick office doors, desks, and locks that they've lost keys to. On one hand I'm proud that I'm called on for such a task. On the other hand I am terrified that if something goes missing, I will be the first to be called out.
He is picking locks at 2:20 am lol a true legend
This is the very first lock I am attempting to pick and this is blowing my damn mind.
This shouldn’t be your or anyone’s first lock to pick. Way too difficult for a new picker. Try a simple 4 or 5 pin lock with no security pins. Better still, buy a progressive lock pick set to start practicing on, starting at 2 pins and up.
yOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST AT PICKING,not many can get them to open so fast,all the best,cheers.
That's amazing. But I've seen lots of your videos. They're all amazing 😊
Very nice. Just picked up 60 of these, very fun to play with!
Thanks. Good luck with these locks. Despite this video, they are quite nice, and definitely my favorite mindless practice lock!
“I wanted to see if I’ve gotten better.” Sir you’re the baba yaga of lock companies….
nice...I like how you modified the tension wrench!
Thanks. I highly recommend modding a tool like that if you play with 1100's as often as I do. It make a big difference.
"A little bit better" you are just being modest :D
Very very enjoyable
Thanks. I'm still surprised by the result... but as they say, I'd rather be lucky than good! :-P
That was absolutely amazing to watch wow. Great job picking brother. As always you never cease to amaze . Thanks for sharing this with us!
Dude super good job. I wish I could pick just one of those in 10 min lol
+Derby King Thanks.
excellent picking, i aspire to be half that good one day. keep up the good work.
Thanks. It's all about practice.
Yes, I think your skills have developed since then hahaha :), that was absolute awesome :D. Didn't read the full title and thought, well you make probably 10 :). I doubt anyone else could do this, was really fun to watch and once more shows your great 🔓 picking skills 👍 :).

wow i have so many issues with the 1100. hens why i found this video. i keep over setting the pins. anyways nice job
Just watch pick Americans in6+ minutes!!! Wow it doesn't get better that, well done you 😊 from Robbie from huyton Liverpool UK
Some day would like to meet you in person, I love your videos.
Great job, this was fun to watch as a novice lockpicker :)
Thanks.
wow that was just amazing, thank you ive got a very long way to pick one in that time ,well done
Thanks. It's just a matter of practice!
I'm in my third week of picking after having gotten through a variety of brinks abus and master locks. The 1100 is no joke
That was fantastic - an impressive display of lockpicking skill! Somehow I don't think that Master Locks is going to be linking to your video though :) Great Job!
+Ted Park Thanks... and I didn't start this channel expecting to make friends among lock makers.
I picked up a new 1100 recently. The bitting is 42724. It's loaded with security pins. The crunching and resistance stout!! I've been able to pick it ONCE since bought it, and that was on the day I bought it. I noticed on another LPL video with a bunch of 1100s, I could see the bitting on the keys. Those keys didn't look anything like 42724. The bitting looked rather uncomplicated.
Great controlled picking on all Sir. I love the tension wrench with the bend in it. I have trouble picking with a prybar in hand as it tends to ping out, but your bar would probably work wonders. Great picking again ;o))))
Thanks -- the bend in the wrench really helps with comfort... it just feels natural in my hand.
Did you have to heat the metal until it was RED before you could bend it?
+waddac2 yes, but one of those little jet lights is all you need. Very fast and easy.
Thanks. I will get one of those cooking jet lighters and have a go. So did you pop it in a vice, heat where you wanted the bend then use pliers to bend then quench in water, and does it bend easy?
waddac2 That's exactly how I did it. Bends very easy once hot.
WOW! Very, very impressive. Well done sir.
+Paul Crosdale Thanks.
And you stacked the open locks!!!!
You have a great feel for the art...
Loved this video / idea. I would like to see more timed challenges in the future! 😃
You are the friggen king
+Henry Pendley LOL. Thanks.
LockPickingLawyer seriously stop it you're to good
I'm mad 😠 I can't even get one of these locks open lol
Hi LockPickingLawyer
I've recently re-pinned one of my 1100s and I'm struggling to pick it. I'm finding it very difficult to feel the difference between binding pins and zero lift pins. What do you feel or look for to identify zero lift pins? Thank you!
that was brilliant!!! athlete EXCELLENT.....
+tonyholt90 Thanks.
Amazing job, i love those 1100's there a good pick
Thanks.
I can't "think" that quick LOL 😂
No thinking involved. I've spent so much time practicing on American Locks that they've become second nature!
Waiting for my tools to arrive. I'll be happy if I can do one in 16 mins.
Wow great job! Should've had the Mission Impossible music playing.
LOL, thanks.
As always - Awesome video! You truly are a very skilled picker
Just picked my first one in 10 mins. LPL is the GOAT
Wow, you have that VOODOO as well.
That was awesome, you got 10 in 4min so yeah tell them 10 in 10 is a doable deal. lol
Thanks... the force was with me when I shot this video!
Very cool.
+Troy Bell Thanks.

Older noob question. Which key blank fits the these 1100's? After watching your channel, I have decided to fulfill this old passion of locksport. Thanks for the inspiration!

+Chris Ahrens LOL, thanks!
Absolutely nuts. I'm good, but damn, that's next level good
Just did mine, 12 in an hour fresh out of the box.
You are the man. 🤘
Thanks!
I literally have been picking this damn lock since I started your video and have yet to get it once
I can't even open a simple door as fast as he can pick a lock
I got an old 30 with sticky ass pins. Been struggling with it for months lol
Why do I get the feeling watching this that a padlock is only a deterrent to lazy thieves.
Hey LPL, I´d love to see you trying this challenge again after years of experience. Maybe with an unreaslistic amount of spare locks this time, just to be sure? I´d put my money on 27 this time^^
Quite inspiring! Dang good!
Thanks.
very cool challenge! at first i was thinking they were all keyed alike until you showed the keys they have some crazy bitting....do the 11oo come w security pinz ? i was very impressed as always. love ur stuff. have a good day!
„Honey we can‘t go on holiday this year...I need to buy 20 more of these 1100s so I can at least practise ten minutes every day“
still working on picking my first 1100. I've only been working on it for a couple hours though!
Wow! Impressive picking skills. How long have you been picking?
Thanks. I've been picking for a little under two years now.
Just recently joined the 1100 club lol. I only been picking for about 2 months decided it was time to own my shiny red 1100.
Nice work
Incredible
Hahahaha aweseom video Idea. Love it !!!!
+Papa Gleb Thanks. I may have another similar video soon with a similar lock. We will see if the picks show up. 👍

Another nice video. Just curious, how long have you been picking?
Just over 2 years.
@@lockpickinglawyer I can only imagine how damn fast you'd do this challenge today.
Wow, you make it look so easy. I might could match that with Master #3s LOL.
+TJ N Thanks... with practice, it will be for you as well!
We use the 1100 locks for work for Lock out tag out.
Ha Ha i thought i could at least get 1 done in the time you done 16,, nope Fail lol what a skill you have , great job LPL
+Keith Dover lol. Keep at it! Thanks.
Man!! I thought I was doing good with picking my Americans @ 2 minutes a piece.
Well, once you spend enough time with them, and you get to know their language well, it all comes together. :-)
Soooo, I just started picking now 10 days ago. Yesterday I received a batch of 20 of these and since then I've picked 14 of them. There's still 6 I can't open even looking at the key but 14 of them went down pretty quickly.
What's up with that? I've got masterlock ones and threes and unbranded Chinese locks I can't open and yet the 1100 on at least a bunch of them seems to provide better feedback from the pins.
