Very few people could pick it 4 times in under 10 minutes to open. There may not be anyone in all of Peru capable of doing that. Even 5 minutes is a long time to be picking.
@@Mernom All night latches are like that. Here in the UK night latches are common. My front door has one and they have a switch on the inside that disengages the front side of the lock from the inside and when the switch is on the lever in the inside for opening the door is locked in place and so is the deadbolt to prevent the door opening or closing whilst in this position to prevent people locking themselves out because someone would need to be inside to turn the switch on whilst the door is closed. Another benefit to nightlatches is when you turn the lever THEN engage the switch deadbolt stays retracted so if you are in a scenario where you need the door opened but dont want to keep pulling out your keys then it is useful like that too. These locks are common on almost all wooden doors here in the UK and most of the doors not using these types of locks are plastic and composite type doors. Although night latches in the UK are common they are nothing like this. In the UK most night latches only require a 1/4 turn up to 12/ to retract the bolt from the outside but on my front door we have TWO locks and when we are not going to be home for a considerable period of time we use the 2nd lock too because that one is just a deadbolt with no spring so it doesn't spring open and when the deadbolt is out can only be put inside with the key. That 2nd lock is just an additional security for when no one is home we also have a door chain on the inside for extra security
"Blindada" means "armored" in Peru, and these locks are called "chapas" and are extremely common and notoriously difficult to operate because of the different motions of the key. You're much more likely to get a forceful entry or armed entry than a lock picker in Peru.
Makes sense that threatening the lock owner is easier than picking the lock... I prefer security through obscurity. Don't show your cards if you can help it...
Statistically speaking, you're more likely to get a forceful entry in the US too, either raw "kick the door down" or the slightly sneakier "convince the homeowner to come to the door and shove a gun in their face".

I've seen it picked in Mexico. Interestingly the technician used a common grocery throwaway plastic bag to avoid multiple picks. After the first pick he packed the keyway with the bag thin bag to hold the pins in place enabling three turns of the core without re-picking.😆
When the Picking starts U hear the first 3 klicks and u smile" thats going to be fast. After the third run down the Pins, u just starring at the video with disbelive. Mouth gaping Open. That was unexpected!
Agreed! I wonder if picking it once and flipping it three more times would work or be done reliably, or if one would have to pick it twice after a failed flip.
@@fauxque5057 Maybe it's done in intervals, like use the flipper to rotate something like 90 to 180 degree, leaving a margin to reload the flipper, manually rotate in position again, so one would end up doing 3 individual flips after the initial picking. I agree that 3 flips all at once sounds like it would hang up at some point.
@@guilhermebrune that makes more sense lol I was reading it literally and where I'm from, that word refers to being hit or hitting. Latin America has a lot of regional words.
This is probably the best thought out/designed lock I’ve seen him do here. I’d put this on my garage and rest easy knowing there’s no one in town who’s going to open it. Great presentation! Glad to see you posting again LPL!
My brother has lived in Peru for a couple decades. The mindset there is "When and How Often" will your house be broken into, not "if" it will be broken into. Locks like the above, bars on windows, broken glass on walls. All surely help and are better than nothing, but your house is likely to broken into at some point.
I live somewhere else in the world where house breaking is not as common, yet we STILL have bars in the lower floor windows, amored doors, and overengineered secure deadbolts everywhere. It just makes sense.
Similar to Japan. There was a need to beef up security and pick resistance so Miwa developed the U9 lock with a 9 lever mechanism (similar to the British Ingersoll 10 lever mechanism). There locks are used everywhere in Japan but do not seem to be exported since they apparently infringe some overseas patents. LPL does not seem to have done a video picking the U9 but he would probably reckon it is a pretty good lock.
Amazing. I know a Peruvian family and they don't even lock their doors to the house. I don't know anything about Peruvians except for they are extremely nice, hard working, and give me amazing food every time I interact with them. You walk in, Mama Grace will walk up to you and hand you a plate of food that is 3 meals worth of calories, "Growing boy! Here eat! Why are you in my house today?" "Papa Luis said he needs computer help. And thank you for the food, it smells incredible." "Oh, not a problem my son, he's upstairs cursing the thing." "Ahh, not a problem, I'll go and help him out." "Gracias mijo." This was a summary of my experience being the neighborhood IT guy. DONA PEPPA FTW
As one who frequently travels to Peru, my spouse is Peruvian, these and similar brands are common there. We even have the mounting plate welded to a metal door for one of our doors. The number of rods that the lock has depends on the model of the lock. Some of the locks use your typical beveled tang like we commonly have in our regular door lock here in the USA, this allows for quick entry/exit, three more turns and the other rods extend or retract. I recommend getting lots of spare keys made there, because getting duplicates here will be a challenge. Forte is a major competing brand in Peru.
I would definitely put this in the "more secure" category, especially for Peru. I'm sitting in Arequipa right now, surrounded by these types of locks. I already did a check and every key I've come across is made up of 5 pins, so to see 7 would be unusual, in my limited experience.
I was waiting for this day to happen, when you review one of the Peruvian locks or padlocks. Yes, we have lots of these here, usually the outer frame has a metal bar bolted from the insides to prevent crowbars and stuff. Usually there is a metal plaque preventing the unscrewing of the bolt mechanism.
Can confirm they're big in Peru for front doors. They're paired with big metal doors or metal frames with glass paneling, if you want to spice it up a little
It is absolutely ridiculous how fast, and easy he picks locks. Crazy!!! So much fun to watch. My daughter picked her first padlock a couple of weeks ago. The smile on her face! She felt like a spy😂
I remember 'picking' my first combination lock as a kid, listened to a change in the clicks under tension 'like in the movies' I felt like such a ninja hahaha :)
Well now … As a residential door installer for over 35 years in North America ( mainly on the east coast of Pa., NJ. & DEL .,,I’ve installed literally thousands of entry doors and their lock sets …. Both high end pricey products and the most “ BO-BO” of box store crap …. With that said .. This looks to be one of the more secure designs and construction.. Although.. Because “ designer looks and styles “ are part of the curb appeal for most front doors … it’s questionable about how often someone would buy this even if it’s actually available in the U.S. . So I hearken back to what I learned back in 1986 when I was 19 just learning from my Italian teacher contractor guy “ Capo Mastro”. in His broken English… “ eh Nick …. LOCKS ARE FOR HONEST PEOPLE “ 👌🏼
My thinking is re-target it from residential to commercial (non-customer-facing, like back doors), light industrial (automotive garages), and agricultural; places where looks are not a priority, but 'took the LPL a minute to pick once & needs to be picked four times,' 'the doorframe will give way before the lock does,' and 'actually not very expensive' would be the key selling points.
As a Peruvian I can confirm you see that lock everywhere. Also, it's very common even in poorer areas that the door itself is made of metal and the door frame, too, inceasing the difficulty of using brute force. When the police have to bust into someone's house with such a door, even with breach tools SWAT teams use it take several blows. Man, if it took YOU so much time to pick, I feel much safer now. Could you try to pick the you activate the little button on the side? That's the "piece de resistance".
I feel proud watching you review a Peruvian lock. I’ve been following your channel for years. And yes, Cantol is one of the best lock companies here. By the way, the word Cantol is pronounced something like ‘can’t’ (as in ‘cannot’) and ‘all.’ Thank you very much, sir!
The fact you simply cannot open it from the outside thanks to that switch is a game changer. The actual picking itself becomes completely redundant. Then having to pick it four times to unlock it. You could put the crappiest lock ever into that thing and it just wouldn't matter. You'd probably have an easier time just trying to take the door off the hinges than opening this lock!
I wish you had disassembled it to see what it did have inside. Thanks for sharing this great system. Searching for this one I found out there are other series, the 800, 900, and 1000
Good design it combats the most likely way of deafeating a lock, which is brute force . No one picking a lock to get in a house they will pry the door or kick it in fast and easy.
I recently got back from my 5th trip to Peru, and I've encountered this style of lock commonly there. This is the prevalent style of door lock in Lima, though once you get farther out into areas such as Puno, it's less common to see this. In general, though, Peruvians tend to take security seriously. It's common to see 15-foot tall walls around back yards, with broken glass embedded in the tops of the walls, and 24-hour private security in even small apartment buildings.
Just on pure time math, this lock is about 60 times better in pick resistance than the usual locks we see on this channel, (4 sec vs 60*4 sec) Amazing lock, I want one
In continental Europe (I am in UK) double-lock deadbolts used to be common, and I know they still are in Spain. Then the crappy snappable Euro lock was introduced. I wish we had these double/quad deadlocks. (A friend lives in Edinburgh New Town, and his grand house has a lock to his 3" thick outer front door with a cathedral key about 8" long. It puts burglars off, but his trouser pockets get holed rapidly).
As Spaniard, I confirm this kind of deadbolts are the most common lock, mostly in pre-00s residential buildings. New construction usually uses Euro locks now.
@@chemapoblador8368 Can you still buy the double-lock deadlocks? If so, next time I'm in Spain (no - I do not search for fish and chips, British beer, and turn lobster-red from sunbathing, although I was once told off in Barcelona for pronouncing cerveza in the Castilian fashion!) I'll buy some.
@@frogandspanner Buy a FAC deadbolt. They are quite good. So good that most burglars don't even bother with them. And next time someone in Barcelona gives you trouble over the accent when ordering a beer, you can troll them (disclaimer: this does not represent my views on beer nor politics, just a way to troll someone who cares too much about either as to harass a tourist over either) with a friendly reminder of WHERE the beer is made! (spoiler: the three most popular brands of beer in all of Spain, Barcelona included, are made two in Madrid and one in Seville) 😀
I stayed in Ecuador for a month and immediately noticed the locks there are way more substantial than what we are used to in the US. The place we stayed at actually had deadbolts at the top and bottom of the doorway. And even the hinge side of the doorway had bolts that would mesh with the frame when it was closed. So it was bolted all the way around which would make it very difficult to beach with brute force. And the lock couldn't be operated at all without the key even from the inside.
I think if LPL designs a door lock or those electronic door locks that will take USB type c with a power crank capacitor just in case the battery or power surge or wifi are down you can still get in. Dang, There's a guaranteed market for these 🇵🇪Peruvian 🇵🇪 locks in the States. Stay blessed, y'all ❤🤙🏽
With the upmost respect for LPL, he technically didn't pick open the lock, he only got one rotation and it requires 4 rotations as noted in the video. I humbly request that this is revisited and have the lock mounted in test scenario and fully pick the lock with and/or without the plug flipper.
Im Peruvian. Right now i have the Blindada 900 model right beside in my door and that lock is as common as standart house lock, like not a single soul does not have one or 2 of those at home. Now the reason for this is that many of us suffer for robbers trying to enter to your residence at any cost. Now this robberies do not happen that much on the down town, but more in the ruch guys places cause they dont own a Cantol. And even then my grandma said they used ti have a Patecabra or Goatleg lock that was basically an iron bar across the door onto the wall. Many house have 2 door one barred door like in prision and the nirmal wooden door and even our windows some have Cantol or barred frames. I wish i could send you photos but there is no unlocked place in this city.
The amount of praise here is rarely seen on any other products LPL reviews. If this lock really sells for only $25, this may be the best value lock ever seen on this channel!
Even with the "not something that would stop an experienced picker for too long" comment, not bad is high praise and the video was more than 4 minutes for picking a single lock without taking it apart afterwards to see what's inside. So I'd feel pretty secure with this lock on my door, given that it'd probably need to be picked 3 more times just to get it open once.
In all my years watching this channel I'd have to say this is definitely one of the top-10 best "off the shelf right out of the box" home deadbolts I've ever watched you demonstrate. That's fairly hard to acquire these days! Usually you'd spend a lot of time modifying off the shelf deadbolt solutions to get about half as much security.. And I may try to acquire one these myself as my own front door has a single hole for a deadbolt (no knob) and the idea behind that according to my landlord is make sure 1) you can't lock yourself out unless you lost your key while out and 2) prevents you from having an unattended unlocked door (an idea I actually now support)
0:10 the first way you pronounced it is correct, and "Blindada" would translate to bullet proof, although I'm sure that's more figurative than literal. These are also common in Colombia, where I'm from. You see them often in outside metal gates or sheet metal doors in older or cheaper housing. Apartments usually have a more traditional looking door knob and dead bolt. It's also worth noting that most doors cannot be opened from the outside without a key, the door handle is always locked and doesn't rotate, so it's actually really easy to lock yourself out if you forget your keys.
I used to live in Colombia and even there those types of locks are super common in every apartment, the door on mine even had a fairly heavy metal door. The sound of the multiple key turns brings back memories.
The fact this core is replaceable also enables smiths to put in a _more secure_ core. So the bones from Cantol with a higher-end core and security pins would certainly make this a nearly-unpickable lock before somebody returns home and figures some bozo is trying to peep their crib.
Refreshingly proper and novel concept, rarely do I see something new and feel like "I'd recommend that" immediately. Major props to whoever came up with this design!
I was looking to replace our Yale night latch. Was originally looking for BS4 Maximum Security Nightlatch but now I'm on the lookout for this Peruvian lock.
The switch is used as a second lock. The door can be lock closed, or even locked "open." If you're carrying your groceries into the house, you wouldn't want the door to close and have to unlock it every time. If it's locked open, you can just push the door without having to use the key. Yes, the switch on the side makes the keyway unusable. The switch is essentially a deadbolt for the door plunger
Surface mount locks were popular in Poland some 20 years ago. Only we usually didn't have a lock on the inside. Just a knob (or a thumbscrew or whatever you call it)
We used to have something similar when I lived in SE Asia, absolute beastly locks. The nice part is the switch on the side can also be used to keep the latch open (at least, on ours it could), so you can just go in and out, hit the switch and the door's now latched. Then deadbolt the sucker at night, flip the switch and now you can't do jack to it from the outside - besides breaking down the door, which nobody's going to bother with. Not unless you owe a lot of money to a lot of the wrong people, perhaps...

@@halphillips1775Sadly, bars over the windows of homes are pretty common across South America, even places in the middle of nowhere. Peru is no exception.

I've seen it picked in Mexico.
Interestingly the technician used a common grocery throwaway plastic bag to avoid multiple picks.
After the first pick he packed the keyway with the bag thin bag to hold the pins in place enabling three turns of the core without re-picking.😆
When the Picking starts
U hear the first 3 klicks and u smile" thats going to be fast.
After the third run down the Pins, u just starring at the video with disbelive. Mouth gaping Open.
That was unexpected!
First time I’ve seen him get frustrated with a lock when his pick got stuck.
I want to see a plug flipper!
Agreed! I wonder if picking it once and flipping it three more times would work or be done reliably, or if one would have to pick it twice after a failed flip.
I would think the flipper wouldn't be able to flip it 3 more times quick enough to not hang up. You might get one or two out of it before it hung up.
@@fauxque5057 Maybe it's done in intervals, like use the flipper to rotate something like 90 to 180 degree, leaving a margin to reload the flipper, manually rotate in position again, so one would end up doing 3 individual flips after the initial picking.
I agree that 3 flips all at once sounds like it would hang up at some point.
Yeah, I want to see this picked in the mechanism, not with just a standalone core.
Was kinda hoping LPL would demo Spin from the CI Vault as the 'flipper' he mentioned. Or at least, that's what I presume it is...
Blindada means armored. So on the box it says, Cantol, Live peacefully, Surface lock, Armored super 700, 3 hits.
Thank you.
Despite google translate, "3 hits" seems somehow wrong. There are 3 keys, I think maybe that's what they're referring to?
I'm not very good at spanish but I'm pretty sure "3 golpes" mean 3 bolts.
@@guilhermebrune that makes more sense lol
I was reading it literally and where I'm from, that word refers to being hit or hitting. Latin America has a lot of regional words.
@@guilhermebrune Nope, it means three "clack!"s
So hit is the best translation here. Or three turns
Master Lock sobbing in a dark corner.
Not really. They have a nice scam going and why should some lock from far far away ruin their party?
They couldn't care less. The general consumer doesn't know anything about locks so they buy the cheapest option master lock.
using Benjamins for tissues....
They'd have to understand what they just saw
This is probably the best thought out/designed lock I’ve seen him do here. I’d put this on my garage and rest easy knowing there’s no one in town who’s going to open it.
Great presentation! Glad to see you posting again LPL!
you know that you live in the same town where LPL lives, right?
Then I'm guessing you haven't seen every video on the channel.
@@liorshalmay73That is perfectly fine. Unless LPL has a special interest in breaking in, he is safe. LPL is unique. :)
Agree! For a semi budget sort of thing it's very well thought out.
My brother has lived in Peru for a couple decades. The mindset there is "When and How Often" will your house be broken into, not "if" it will be broken into. Locks like the above, bars on windows, broken glass on walls. All surely help and are better than nothing, but your house is likely to broken into at some point.
I live somewhere else in the world where house breaking is not as common, yet we STILL have bars in the lower floor windows, amored doors, and overengineered secure deadbolts everywhere. It just makes sense.
I was just about to finally order “The Covert Companion” set from LPL, but now that money is getting spent on a package I’m ordering from Peru.
My dad used to sell this locks here in Costa Rica, thank you for the flashback, miss my old man
This seems like one of the best consumer-grade door locks ever featured on this channel.
"I love the way..." Is the highest of praise I've heard from LPL
I like that lock... a lot! Seems Peru has/had some serious crime issues and someone rose to the challenge of protecting folks. Nice!
Violent crime is pretty common in Peru. I didn’t see home invasion/burglary on the list, but if this type of lick is common then it could be.
crappy locks in the US might mean there's no crime over there... oh wait...
@@delguedaNah.. we just have lazy thieves.
Similar to Japan. There was a need to beef up security and pick resistance so Miwa developed the U9 lock with a 9 lever mechanism (similar to the British Ingersoll 10 lever mechanism). There locks are used everywhere in Japan but do not seem to be exported since they apparently infringe some overseas patents. LPL does not seem to have done a video picking the U9 but he would probably reckon it is a pretty good lock.
Yeah, so now they just tug your whole window frame out of the wall with a car instead..
Amazing. I know a Peruvian family and they don't even lock their doors to the house. I don't know anything about Peruvians except for they are extremely nice, hard working, and give me amazing food every time I interact with them.
You walk in, Mama Grace will walk up to you and hand you a plate of food that is 3 meals worth of calories, "Growing boy! Here eat! Why are you in my house today?"
"Papa Luis said he needs computer help. And thank you for the food, it smells incredible."
"Oh, not a problem my son, he's upstairs cursing the thing."
"Ahh, not a problem, I'll go and help him out."
"Gracias mijo."
This was a summary of my experience being the neighborhood IT guy.
DONA PEPPA FTW
As one who frequently travels to Peru, my spouse is Peruvian, these and similar brands are common there. We even have the mounting plate welded to a metal door for one of our doors. The number of rods that the lock has depends on the model of the lock. Some of the locks use your typical beveled tang like we commonly have in our regular door lock here in the USA, this allows for quick entry/exit, three more turns and the other rods extend or retract.
I recommend getting lots of spare keys made there, because getting duplicates here will be a challenge.
Forte is a major competing brand in Peru.
Respect from LPL is the highest endorsement a lock can get in my opinion. Vamo Peru!
I would definitely put this in the "more secure" category, especially for Peru. I'm sitting in Arequipa right now, surrounded by these types of locks. I already did a check and every key I've come across is made up of 5 pins, so to see 7 would be unusual, in my limited experience.
High praise from LPL
I was waiting for this day to happen, when you review one of the Peruvian locks or padlocks. Yes, we have lots of these here, usually the outer frame has a metal bar bolted from the insides to prevent crowbars and stuff. Usually there is a metal plaque preventing the unscrewing of the bolt mechanism.
Peruvian here. The first time he went back to one, I felt proud. The second one, I clapped. The third, that was a goal in the world cup.
Can confirm they're big in Peru for front doors. They're paired with big metal doors or metal frames with glass paneling, if you want to spice it up a little
Meanwhile, all I could think is that a core puller would easily work on it.
@@arthurmoore9488 how are you going to open such advanced devices in developing countries?
Peruvian exports just increased!
This is the most secure lock I've ever seen on this channel, and I am now importing all of my locks from Peru.
if LPL has to work at it, you know it's a worthy opponent.
It is absolutely ridiculous how fast, and easy he picks locks. Crazy!!! So much fun to watch. My daughter picked her first padlock a couple of weeks ago. The smile on her face! She felt like a spy😂
I remember 'picking' my first combination lock as a kid, listened to a change in the clicks under tension 'like in the movies' I felt like such a ninja hahaha :)
This is the most glowing review I think I've ever seen from LPL!
Well now …
As a residential door installer for over 35 years in North America ( mainly on the east coast of Pa., NJ. & DEL .,,I’ve installed literally thousands of entry doors and their lock sets ….
Both high end pricey products and the most “ BO-BO” of box store crap ….
With that said ..
This looks to be one of the more secure designs and construction..
Although..
Because “ designer looks and styles “ are part of the curb appeal for most front doors … it’s questionable about how often someone would buy this even if it’s actually available in the U.S. .
So I hearken back to what I learned back in 1986 when I was 19 just learning from my Italian teacher contractor guy “ Capo Mastro”. in His broken English…
“ eh Nick ….
LOCKS ARE FOR HONEST PEOPLE “ 👌🏼
My thinking is re-target it from residential to commercial (non-customer-facing, like back doors), light industrial (automotive garages), and agricultural; places where looks are not a priority, but 'took the LPL a minute to pick once & needs to be picked four times,' 'the doorframe will give way before the lock does,' and 'actually not very expensive' would be the key selling points.
That looks like a good product. I have much respect for the designer and manufacturer.
Now thats a heckin lock
As a Peruvian I can confirm you see that lock everywhere. Also, it's very common even in poorer areas that the door itself is made of metal and the door frame, too, inceasing the difficulty of using brute force. When the police have to bust into someone's house with such a door, even with breach tools SWAT teams use it take several blows.
Man, if it took YOU so much time to pick, I feel much safer now.
Could you try to pick the you activate the little button on the side? That's the "piece de resistance".
WoW, that is a beast of a lock.
cant lie im proud of my country for a praise like that
Honestly, it has been a long time since I have seen a lock this strong on this channel. Nice!
I feel proud watching you review a Peruvian lock. I’ve been following your channel for years. And yes, Cantol is one of the best lock companies here. By the way, the word Cantol is pronounced something like ‘can’t’ (as in ‘cannot’) and ‘all.’ Thank you very much, sir!
Love these locks that have a bit of background.
The fact you simply cannot open it from the outside thanks to that switch is a game changer.
The actual picking itself becomes completely redundant. Then having to pick it four times to unlock it. You could put the crappiest lock ever into that thing and it just wouldn't matter.
You'd probably have an easier time just trying to take the door off the hinges than opening this lock!
This is why im a proud Peruvian
i mean... senorita laura is peruvian, so lets say youre even
Wanna start a side hustle selling locks to the US?
because of THIS? not the rich culture, food, whatever? 🤣
unfortunately the food would be bad by the time it got to me, if it made it through customs at all@@delgueda
Great episode thanks.
Now THAT is a damn good lock
I wish you had disassembled it to see what it did have inside. Thanks for sharing this great system. Searching for this one I found out there are other series, the 800, 900, and 1000
Good design it combats the most likely way of deafeating a lock, which is brute force . No one picking a lock to get in a house they will pry the door or kick it in fast and easy.
I recently got back from my 5th trip to Peru, and I've encountered this style of lock commonly there. This is the prevalent style of door lock in Lima, though once you get farther out into areas such as Puno, it's less common to see this. In general, though, Peruvians tend to take security seriously. It's common to see 15-foot tall walls around back yards, with broken glass embedded in the tops of the walls, and 24-hour private security in even small apartment buildings.
Just on pure time math, this lock is about 60 times better in pick resistance than the usual locks we see on this channel, (4 sec vs 60*4 sec)
Amazing lock, I want one
From the looks of it, that lock is a must buy.
In continental Europe (I am in UK) double-lock deadbolts used to be common, and I know they still are in Spain.
Then the crappy snappable Euro lock was introduced.
I wish we had these double/quad deadlocks.
(A friend lives in Edinburgh New Town, and his grand house has a lock to his 3" thick outer front door with a cathedral key about 8" long. It puts burglars off, but his trouser pockets get holed rapidly).
As Spaniard, I confirm this kind of deadbolts are the most common lock, mostly in pre-00s residential buildings. New construction usually uses Euro locks now.
@@chemapoblador8368 Can you still buy the double-lock deadlocks? If so, next time I'm in Spain (no - I do not search for fish and chips, British beer, and turn lobster-red from sunbathing, although I was once told off in Barcelona for pronouncing cerveza in the Castilian fashion!) I'll buy some.
@@frogandspanner Yes! Brands like Azbe or Tesa still manufacture them for what I see
@@chemapoblador8368 Thanks!
@@frogandspanner Buy a FAC deadbolt. They are quite good. So good that most burglars don't even bother with them. And next time someone in Barcelona gives you trouble over the accent when ordering a beer, you can troll them (disclaimer: this does not represent my views on beer nor politics, just a way to troll someone who cares too much about either as to harass a tourist over either) with a friendly reminder of WHERE the beer is made! (spoiler: the three most popular brands of beer in all of Spain, Barcelona included, are made two in Madrid and one in Seville) 😀
Props to Peru, that's a pretty cool design.
Wow, that's impressive
wow nice strong lock, looks stronger than most door !
I stayed in Ecuador for a month and immediately noticed the locks there are way more substantial than what we are used to in the US. The place we stayed at actually had deadbolts at the top and bottom of the doorway. And even the hinge side of the doorway had bolts that would mesh with the frame when it was closed. So it was bolted all the way around which would make it very difficult to beach with brute force. And the lock couldn't be operated at all without the key even from the inside.
I think if LPL designs a door lock or those electronic door locks that will take USB type c with a power crank capacitor just in case the battery or power surge or wifi are down you can still get in. Dang, There's a guaranteed market for these 🇵🇪Peruvian 🇵🇪 locks in the States. Stay blessed, y'all ❤🤙🏽
Best lock I've seen in a long time.
With the upmost respect for LPL, he technically didn't pick open the lock, he only got one rotation and it requires 4 rotations as noted in the video. I humbly request that this is revisited and have the lock mounted in test scenario and fully pick the lock with and/or without the plug flipper.
as a peruvian i felt a little bit of pride when he said "no bad" LOL. as any country in latin america, these are the locks that you shouldnt cheap out
Im Peruvian. Right now i have the Blindada 900 model right beside in my door and that lock is as common as standart house lock, like not a single soul does not have one or 2 of those at home. Now the reason for this is that many of us suffer for robbers trying to enter to your residence at any cost. Now this robberies do not happen that much on the down town, but more in the ruch guys places cause they dont own a Cantol. And even then my grandma said they used ti have a Patecabra or Goatleg lock that was basically an iron bar across the door onto the wall. Many house have 2 door one barred door like in prision and the nirmal wooden door and even our windows some have Cantol or barred frames. I wish i could send you photos but there is no unlocked place in this city.
Can’t wait for the Master Lock version of this: BlindGranma Flaccid 500
with a 7 rubber pin lock, for easy access ;-)
The amount of praise here is rarely seen on any other products LPL reviews. If this lock really sells for only $25, this may be the best value lock ever seen on this channel!
Definitely lots of great security thinking went into this design. First time in a while I've seen the LPL not blow through a opening in 15 seconds.
Even with the "not something that would stop an experienced picker for too long" comment, not bad is high praise and the video was more than 4 minutes for picking a single lock without taking it apart afterwards to see what's inside. So I'd feel pretty secure with this lock on my door, given that it'd probably need to be picked 3 more times just to get it open once.
Over a minute to pick a lock that needs to be picked 4 times... yeah I'd say its a good lock. Good job Peru!
In all my years watching this channel I'd have to say this is definitely one of the top-10 best "off the shelf right out of the box" home deadbolts I've ever watched you demonstrate. That's fairly hard to acquire these days! Usually you'd spend a lot of time modifying off the shelf deadbolt solutions to get about half as much security.. And I may try to acquire one these myself as my own front door has a single hole for a deadbolt (no knob) and the idea behind that according to my landlord is make sure 1) you can't lock yourself out unless you lost your key while out and 2) prevents you from having an unattended unlocked door (an idea I actually now support)
He actually used the word "Love". This is probably one of the better locks on earth.
In addition in Peru many houses have installed metal plates the full height of the door/gate to protect against crowbar entry.
This offered a surprising amount of resistance
Thank you sir, getting into the field, and this lock was something completely different.
WELL DONE
Great video today!
Nice to see a tough to break into locking system.
0:10 the first way you pronounced it is correct, and "Blindada" would translate to bullet proof, although I'm sure that's more figurative than literal. These are also common in Colombia, where I'm from. You see them often in outside metal gates or sheet metal doors in older or cheaper housing. Apartments usually have a more traditional looking door knob and dead bolt.
It's also worth noting that most doors cannot be opened from the outside without a key, the door handle is always locked and doesn't rotate, so it's actually really easy to lock yourself out if you forget your keys.
Ladies and gentlemen, we may have found the single best lock in the world
I used to live in Colombia and even there those types of locks are super common in every apartment, the door on mine even had a fairly heavy metal door. The sound of the multiple key turns brings back memories.
The fact this core is replaceable also enables smiths to put in a _more secure_ core. So the bones from Cantol with a higher-end core and security pins would certainly make this a nearly-unpickable lock before somebody returns home and figures some bozo is trying to peep their crib.
Refreshingly proper and novel concept, rarely do I see something new and feel like "I'd recommend that" immediately. Major props to whoever came up with this design!
I was looking to replace our Yale night latch.
Was originally looking for BS4 Maximum Security Nightlatch but now I'm on the lookout for this Peruvian lock.
Wow finally after all these years... A good one!
Plot twist. Mr A. is the owner of Cantol and recently discovered LPL and sent his best lock for a free consultation ;D
A switch that completely prevents the latch from being retracted even with the key, thats a great security featute.
4min video its a rare occurrence! 🤣🤣
I liked the lock very much, would pick this for my house.
This is a pretty slick lock. I enjoy seeing products where profit was not the primary reason for it to exist.
Perú mentioned RAHHH 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
I always love seeing LockPickingLawer having to fight a bit to get a lock open. This is what all locks should be like.
I'd love to see more on this lock! Maybe install it on a mock up and show the flipper. Does the switch on the inside make entry impossible?
I have a similar lock on the warehouse where I work, I completely blocks it, it would only open by disengaging the switch or by destructive means
The switch is used as a second lock.
The door can be lock closed, or even locked "open."
If you're carrying your groceries into the house, you wouldn't want the door to close and have to unlock it every time. If it's locked open, you can just push the door without having to use the key.
Yes, the switch on the side makes the keyway unusable. The switch is essentially a deadbolt for the door plunger
@@MrPibATF Very cool. Thank you for that information. A burglar would have to wait for the "groceries" scenario to beat the lock, presumably.
He shows that it prevents the latch from moving at 1:33
This is one tough lock. Kudos to Cantol for taking door security seriously.
Surface mount locks were popular in Poland some 20 years ago. Only we usually didn't have a lock on the inside. Just a knob (or a thumbscrew or whatever you call it)
We used to have something similar when I lived in SE Asia, absolute beastly locks. The nice part is the switch on the side can also be used to keep the latch open (at least, on ours it could), so you can just go in and out, hit the switch and the door's now latched. Then deadbolt the sucker at night, flip the switch and now you can't do jack to it from the outside - besides breaking down the door, which nobody's going to bother with. Not unless you owe a lot of money to a lot of the wrong people, perhaps...
Great video once again LPL!! This lock appears to be made better then some others you had on here! Interesting stuff!
Wow, this is the longest I have seen LPL work on a lock, and giving the highest praise! :D
