    You know you're immersed in the LPL universe when - despite having never picked a lock in your life - you find yourself thinking "so many clicks on one pin? That can't be a spool - must be serrated then" before he even says the word. Maybe it's about time I tried this hobby out for myself...

      Go for it! Few years ago I bought the cheapest set of lockpicks (about 10 or 15 dollars). They are ugly and little bit too big, with pretty big rubber handles. For lockpicking I had to buy another set later, but the first one is something I use quite often for so many things! Here are some examples:
      During repairing computers, it is frustrating to try catching some wires. But it is easy with standard small hook.
      When the big spoon got stuck in our drawers and my wife wasn't able to open it? Another lockpick saved the day.
      Cleaning the paint gun is really annoying, because some parts are hardly accessible. But if you have something slim and sturdy, like small hook, it is easy.
      Do you like walnuts but you hate how the shell sometimes doesn't want to let it go and you have to crack it again and you destroy the walnut? Just grab your good old lockpick and pop it out.
      My kids pushed a pen cover in some toy and were unable to get it out. Guess what did the trick.
      Playing card fell from table and went under couch. There is not enough space for fingers, the card got pretty far, and I didn't want to move the couch. Standard hook did the trick.
      My friend had a problem with window blinds, a piece of metal fell in a bad place and it blocked the mechanism. So, our options were taking it all apart (it is an old model, so it was heavy, it held by about 20 screws and we would have to partly disassemble the window), or using something slim, sturdy and long enough to remove that piece of metal.
      Plumber was trying to clean one piece of pipe in toilet flusher, but his screwdriver wasn't curved at the end.
      Sometimes I wonder how people live without those little tools. Every time you need to press, pull or move something small and/or hardly accessible, those things will do the job.

      Trust me when I say, it's possible to know all about the mechanics, but fail miserably bc you don't have the touch. That's the position I'm in. I can't tension or pick a lock well at all with standard tools, only with Lishis.

    I think this weather protection has been thought through pretty well, even if not all the way to the end. It protects all around, but allows water to drain away. There are no mechanical weak points like thin rubber hinges for a flap that opens on its own over time.
    The only thing this padlock would need are "special" keys, with handles that are narrower but two or three times as long as the current ones.

    • @mydoggylives
      @mydoggylives 3 месяца назад +42

      Plus the user could always slip the bottom off, unlock the padlock and slip it back on again.... keeping the weather protection as well as making it easier to unlock. Yes, it's an extra step... but it's not a dealbreaker.

      Also factor in how often the lock would be used. If it secures the chain that keeps someone from stealing your fancy grill you might only open the lock once a year even if you use the grill a lot so the lock would be fine. If it's a lock you open every day I could see a problem.

    • @andersjjensen
      @andersjjensen 3 месяца назад +60

      For context: I've been picking for 7-8 years a bit on and off (buying new and interesting locks is expensive). If I pick up an American 700, or another lock in this general ball park, that I haven't seen the key for it takes me about 6-7 minutes if it is stubborn. If the binding order and key cut play in my favor it's in the 4-5 minute realm. I have yet to manage to rake one of these despite vigorous attempts. If these had been 6 or 7 pins, with the same tolerances, it would obviously take substantially longer, but when you're already pushing longer pick times than a "reasonably quiet" destructive attack would take, then it is indeed a great lock.

      When you order a American 700 series lock, they're offered in 4, 5, and 6 pin versions. They're s also a version core that was supposed to be sold for DoD applications.
      Going off memory, the core for the 5 pin is APTC-12 and the 6 pin core is APTC14.
      I use a lot of these locks around the property (every gate is locked). I ordered a dozen keyed alike cores, and since I have a pin kit, re-keyed the removed cores. Purchasing keyed cores is very inexpensive from one of the larger lock smith shops..The shop can request more tamper resistant pinnings.

    If American changed the shape of the keys to something a little slimmer the lock cover would be fine. I used bolt cutters to clip off the angled edges and about half the handle and it turns easily inside the cover.

    We have had these exact locks on our gunshop rollup outside doors in MD since the early 90's, they are solid and the rubber opening kind of sticks open after a year or so so it is not an issue if you use the lock on a regular basis. They are definitely beefy, several attempts by dindoos over the years to cut them and no success haha

  • @Martin-pb7ts
    @Martin-pb7ts 3 месяца назад

    I think that the weather protection will be valuable for use where that door/gate won't see much use. Like a secondary gate on the farm or a side door of a warehouse. Sure if you're using it every day then get something else but if you want to lock something and come back in six months and you don't want to wrestle with a lock that has been out in the open and seized somewhat, it's probably a good choice.

  • @cleanycloth
    @cleanycloth 3 месяца назад +1

    Ironically I think Masterlock did the weatherproofing thing best. I’ve got a couple locks on the sheds in the garden just to stop the doors from swinging open and they’re usual locks with a rubber cover, but a small flap covers the key way. Move it out the way, and pop the key in. Easy and works well - they haven’t shown any signs of rusting or sticking yet.

    @andymanaus1077 3 месяца назад +1

    The problem with putting a weatherproof cover over a metal lock is capilliary action. Once water gets under the cover it's only a matter of time that the lock will start to deteriorate. Any moisture that is present is drawn deeper under the cover and then held against the metal instead of evaporating.
    It's the same reason cars should never be stored for long periods of time under an impervious covering.

      Okay, picture this: you have an outdoor storage shed at one of those STORE-N-SAVE type places, you rarely go there and the weather is hellacious. You want to be sure that the 5 million dollars in definitely not stolen diamonds stored in your shed are safe from thieves but also that you'll be able to get into the lock about 25 years from now when the cops are no longer asking you pesky questions like "how would you go about robbing a diamond museum assuming you were a diamond thief?", and "We know you stole the diamonds from the diamond museum, how about you just tell us where the diamonds are and we'll knock you down to 18 months. Do not call your lawyer."

    The core on this is the same as the 1100 though with the 6th stack pinned up. American has more than a half dozen different lock bodies with identical cores and I thought it pointless to compare them as if they're different locks until you mentioned that the spring shackle tension changes pick resistance.

    You just knew that when Master Lock purchased American Lock things would go downhill fast. That said I own one of these padlocks and the lock body and shackle are built like a tank. The shackle and body are hardened very well. The lock cylinder is the main weak link as it is with most other padlocks.

    Another version of that saying is: "Maybe your only purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others." And the picture that comes with the saying shows the bow of a ship sticking out of the water.

    I'd like to get dust proof padlocks at work. The cement dust proof variant.

    A place I worked, a law firm of all places appropriately enough, decided one day to drop some motivational booklets on our desks with the cover saying "You're Our Best Adds" but the font and kerning were a little off and, at first glance, we all read it as "You're All B**tards".

    Hot damn, it took him more than 10 seconds to pick that lock. That is a *fine* lock.

    A knife and cut the rubber along the bottom bit so you got 2 flaps that you can just fold over against the body and it's fine i would think. This might be good still for some use cases farmers with a back gate they only use once or twice a year where a lock could get recked from rain etc or other need to lock it up but don't use it much type deal. Yeh it is a pain to use but less of a pain than a rusted jammed up lock

    Just the weather cover on that lock is more secure than a Masterlock.

    Other than the weather protection, sounds like a good lock. Ut oh! It was a fluke😮
