You should consider making a guide for people buying locks. Like having a good, better, best set of options for each type of lock (small padlock, bike lock, disc padlock, deadbolt, etc). I imagine it might involve some liability risk, but as a lawyer you could probably write a pretty good disclaimer to make it ok. Just an idea.
I was just thinking the same thing. Though I would settle for an excel spreadsheet with different categories like "Top grade/Good/Decent/Bad/Inexcusable flaws" so you get a rough idea on what to get or more importantly which locks to stay away from.
@@pleasepie1928 That would be even harder than undoing the lock. I'd expect most key-thieves to use brute-force methods, like an angle grinder or a long pick.
I have a Walmart Brinks lock that has the same problem. It took me like 5 minutes to get the "sweet spot". But once I got it down, I can open it in 1-2 seconds. Amazed my girlfriend lolol
I have had one of the most stressful years of my life. But for some reason, these completely (to me) random videos are, strangely, some of the most relaxing and satisfying I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing your passion with such charming chill.
I unhooked some wire on that bridge and dumped about 50 padlocks into the river. With any luck it interfered with the lamers that put them there but I doubt it.
@@supremeazboi5955 Yes, they frequently remove the locks and throw them away. Bad luck if you're the kind of person lame enough to find solace in littering the bridge with shitty padlocks.
Yeah, that's the difference between picking the lock via pins and bypassing the core entirely. Which is, as I understand it, why locks that can easily be bypassed get much more scrutiny from LPL and probably security experts overall. If it's a decent lock, it's much safer because most people aren't as good as this dude, as is evidenced by the amount of locks that get cut or ground rather than picked.
Its pretty obvious to anyone watching this channel that the main goal has changed from showing off lock picking to exposing really bad locks and their manufacturers. Lpl is educated in law and as such, believes in the law and the system. He also knows that opportunity makes the thief, and he knows fewer ppl would break the law if we got rid of the poor locks. Lpl’s small but important contribution to a safer society! Good work lpl. Carry on!
I got this in my recommended for 4 days straight now, I've never even looked up anything lock related before. It's 5 AM and I'm rewatching this for the 7th time because his voice is too sweet. I don't know how the YT algorithm works but I'm not complaining about this one.
Well in 2 videos under ten minutes long you have managed to show what was once very covert entry techniques 30 to 40 years ago...everyone knew about them and nobody wanted to fix them then. Their solution was don't talk about it don't show it. Nice video.
My uncle works with locks for a living (I guess his called lock master in English) As he always says: "a lock is used to keep friends out. A thief would enter anyway. Either by breaking the lock or picking it"
Thank you. This is really both a public service for consumers & for ABUS. While I bet they already knew the information in this video, you are giving them the incentive to correct these deficits, thus helping their business in the long term. I agree, BTW that the glaring design flaws allowing you to open these locks immediately *IS* inexcusable. Shame on ABUS.
I just fell upon your channel while surfing RUclips. This video, at least to me, is amazing. Not a lock pick guy other than what was taught in a short class back in the early 70s in a small class in the military for what reason no one would say at the time. I think this is great for people that think their lock is bulletproof and can't understand how their precious bicycle was stolen even though they had a lock on it. Thank you sir for a very informative video!
Is Abus the refuge for laid off Master Lock designers? I’ve refrained from posting this, but I’ll let the cat out of the bag. The vast majority of the keyed alike Abus Plus core locks can be opened with one of 6 keys. As far as I can tell, it’s only the keyed alike models. Totally inexcusable. The only way to ensure better security using keyed alike, is to order custom ciphers. I’ve pulled my 12 Abus Plus cored locks and replaced them with Abloy Protec and Protec2 core locks.
Gunga Dinn I’ve noticed this in Canada well. I however have only seen four different keys although I only have 24 locks each coming in 4 packs so it’s quite possible there are more available. (We use these locks to secure our construction equipment including very expensive plate tampers, generators and wheel barrels. I store my equipment in my truck, and a thief would need to move a disabled vehicle, or cut his way through two fences and walk on a bunch of boards with nail facing up like punji stakes).
John-Paul Silke+ I’ve got to place the blame on the limited number of ciphers available and openly advertised on Abus. Don’t make it so easy for someone to do a web search for availability of a cipher number. Have them supply the key code card to order additional locks. I only found out about the limited ciphers available when I needed 4 more locks when I called my salesman and before I could say what cipher I needed, he rattled off the likely number. Two minutes on the web yielded the other 5 common numbers. So now I’ve got $800 in Abus locks, that I’m going to sell to recoup some of the money towards the Abloy purchase.
We have an even bigger problem with excavators and heavy machinery. They are all keyed alike by brand and occasionally also by type, (skidstear’s have a different key type from excavator). ☹️
When you can order, at a whim and delivered shortly, random amounts of KA locks - as opposed to “kit of 5” or whatever - that pretty much tells you they come in large boxes which are *all* keyed alike. Which means very limited differs. That’s more a limit of logistics than a flaw of a particular lock company. The other option is, indeed, either to special order them all set to a specific code or to have the factory produce a set of the right size with a random key. Which shouldn’t really cost any more nor less than a specific code. But it *is* significantly more expensive than just buying a stack of locks from the big box of KA.
Customers are also to blame. You can't have an original combination when you ask for tons of KA locks at bargain price and refuse to wait several month to have them built. This is always a trade-off between cheap fast crap and expensive slow quality. And most customers don't care about quality. They just want the cheapest and fastest.
Thank you LPL I am beginning a new chapter of my life that is going to include a storage unit and possibly a trailer also. I'm trying to educate myself well enough to make a confident choice in how i secure my valuables.
As a German I always wonder why so many people love ABUS locks. They have some good products like the ABUS Plus core but they produce so many crap locks, it's unbelievable! I recently picked an ABUS bicycle lock for a colleague, it was a wafer lock and a joke. My college was shocked! There are so many better German lock companies (in my opinion), at least for euro profile cylinder locks. Most of them don't produce many padlocks because the market is flooded with ABUS locks...
They /are/ ornaments. At least in Germany over 90% of them are sold as 'love locks', often with an engraving (the engraving being more expensive then the lock itself). Walk the small walkway of the Hohenzollernbrücke in Cologne and you'll find thousands of them locked to the fence towards the railroad tracks. They are constructed this way on purpose: a cheap one way product.
Wow ! I’ve got one of those Abus slide bolt padlocks that I’ve been trying to pick for a few evenings now ( lock picking hobbyist noob ) I didn’t realise they could be quite as easily bypassed, it’s also quite shocking the speed you got through all those locks !! Amazing channel by the way, love the content 👍
Knife tool bypassable, and Abus should never happen in a sentence. I believe Potti314 talked to Abus about the 72/40 being bypassable & the locks are often used as LOTO'S. I think Abus told him it was an older design & they were not going to fix it. One little anti bypass wafer added to the assembly process was too difficult for them, I guess.
American Lock had tons of models that needed to be fixed and they did. ABUS has only a few models to fix. It should not be hard for them to fix the issue.
ahmadaamer6 Besides fixing, any good company should make it easy for customers to know if they get the fixed model by some kind of marking. For example Ruko six-pins have a different key handle and they heavily market that if you got the old handle you need to upgrade, their later upgrades are more subtly marked, and always on the key, not the lock.
There's also the book review that LPL did a couple months ago that details howa great many locks function. So if one knows how it functions one can usually defeat it easier. Many such books exist. And combined with the practical knowledge that years of experience picking and bypassing locks gives, there's foundation for approaching the truly wild and uncharted.
Usually it's the thickest pick that will fit in the warding and still actuate the pins easily. Basically, if it can get up in there and push on the pins, it's good to go.
Me: Expecting some expert twisting and turning to get locks undone 1:00 😮 Inexcusable? I agree! 1:32 😰 Inexcusable?! I AGREE! 2:29 😲 INEXCUSABLE?!!@#! I *AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* !!!
so i have an abus that i use for lockout at work. the lock is used to temporaly shut power off to something while i work the lock is cheap ect. my question is is it a desine flaw or simply useing an old desine for something where you have no need for it to be pick resistant?

thanx LPL, because of you I lost confindence in any lock worldwide ... still waiting for the day you post a video with an unpickable lock (besides the one from germany haha)
hi, have you ever picked/decoded with only one hand? love to see your videos and found out can open a small window on door and set lock inside, so no thief can unlock with one hand. Anyway, it is only my idea for my security. Looking forward to seeing your feedback. Thanks
This may seem like a stupid question but I am getting into locking picking and while binging your videos I’ve wondered a few things. One what happens when you overset a pin and how do you recover and two what is a “false set”
I have been following you for a while now and im beginning to see just how large your lock collection is. Would it be possible to get a tour of your lock collection?
they have updated most of their locks, i think you might have some versions that they are no longer manufacturing. (at least the one with the little golf club tool, they made a steel wafer to patch the old ones, and they redesigned the core to end the vulnerability) i remember Deviant Ollam saying that in a talk i saw

So the exact same vulnerabilities as the inexcusable Master locks.
The whole locks look identical to Master. I can nearly guarantee that they come from the same factory in China with different branding.

thanx LPL, because of you I lost confindence in any lock worldwide ... still waiting for the day you post a video with an unpickable lock (besides the one from germany haha)
no one: youtube: hey wanna see some locks i know u do
hi, have you ever picked/decoded with only one hand? love to see your videos and found out can open a small window on door and set lock inside, so no thief can unlock with one hand. Anyway, it is only my idea for my security. Looking forward to seeing your feedback. Thanks
Shit son, if I was CEO of ABUS I would be looking for a new job fast.....
This may seem like a stupid question but I am getting into locking picking and while binging your videos I’ve wondered a few things. One what happens when you overset a pin and how do you recover and two what is a “false set”
Could you make a video about Elzett locks? They are hungarian made. :)
Yo just used this knowledge to break into my mom's money box! Thanks mate! Really appreciate it.
11PM : one more video before bed
2AM: *_lock_*
If they changed the to a abloy key tumbler are they still susceptible to this golf club like tool?
The most insidious thing about combing a lock open is that to most observers it looks like you're just opening it normally.
I have been following you for a while now and im beginning to see just how large your lock collection is. Would it be possible to get a tour of your lock collection?
Oh no...I have the U-haul Lock.
If you ever lose the key then now you know what to do. Unfortunately that applies to everybody else as well how to open your lock :)
Thiefs don't use such tools, they simply cut the shakle. So you don't have to worry about this flaw ;)
good enough to keep the hitch secure while going down the road
they have updated most of their locks, i think you might have some versions that they are no longer manufacturing. (at least the one with the little golf club tool, they made a steel wafer to patch the old ones, and they redesigned the core to end the vulnerability) i remember Deviant Ollam saying that in a talk i saw
This man acts like we all have tiny golf clubs and mini metal combs just laying around
Love the descriptions of the tools
This is something good to watch at 3am. Like the dudes building houses out of nearly nothing
