"im not going to go into how to improvise a lockpick in a prison setting for obvious reasons" *he knows how to improvise a lockpick in a prison setting holy shit*
Oh look it’s the joke. The same joke. They always make the same joke! Gonna name it “The Same Joke!” Hahaha. It’s funny every time. All 1300+ times. Slays me each and every time. Ha ha!🤡😐
LPL - "This is a lock from a prison." Me - My god he finally broke out of a prison. LPL - "Here's another lock from a different prison." Me - HE CAN'T BE HELD!!
Obtaining a few paper clips or hair pins is cake. A shank/shiv not so easy. However that shiv could be transformed into an entire set of lock picks, given a large sum of time and knowledge which point is obvious. I'd prefer picks from wire and also a weapon if I were a criminal. It's almost humorous that the most intelligent never get nabbed and don't need to ever employ such skills for escape. That's the real point.
"This is the Lockpicking Inmate and what i have for you today is just a quick Video on Prison Locks. I will have to keep it short because I hear Sirens and Dogs barking."
I've worked in several prisons throughout Missouri. This type of lock is fairly outdated and to my knowledge hasn't been used since The Walls was shut down in 2010. Our keys are much larger and typically are only used for food ports and some interior gates/doors. Doors to individual cells, yards and buildings are controlled electronically from a number of control points, so even having the key wouldn't get you very far. That's not to say keys weren't misplaced or the control officers hadn't rolled the wrong doors for the wrong people. Also on at least one instance a fairly intelligent inmate made a working copy of a key from a melted food tray and visual memory. If you really want to escape, all you'd have to do is wait for the power to die and all the doors to pop. Fun times.
If the power goes down, wouldn't the doors stay closed because there is nothing left to open them or are the locks not working anymore because of no power?
Jordan Phoenix it would make sense if the doors all opened when the power goes out in case of an emergency Like if a fire takes out the control room, turning the power off, and continues to spread, you don’t want all the prisoners stuck in non-unlockable cells
@@jordanphoenix1255 Sorry for the late response. When the power fails the locking mechanisms on the doors are rendered inactive. It's a built-in safety feature against natural disasters as we were located on a major fault line and also had a history of flash floods and tornadoes. Our solution to this was to nicely ask the inmates to return to their cells and secure their doors with handcuffs going from the door handle to a hard point on the wall. The gates of the sally port and the door to the administrative building, the only two exits of the prison, remain locked during a power outage and have to be keyed from the inside.
Also work MODOC. These type, though a different brand, of locks are present in a couple of facilities in my region for interior doors, like to break rooms and such. Also, our cells locks with big keys, but can be popped remotely by the control officer. Probably the same massive keys you're talking about. So, we don't have the power outage problem, since the locks just, you know, stay locked.
This is why all personal items are removed from prisoners: if the prisoner is LPL and he has his lock picking set, that is not a prison anymore, its a youtube content supply.

@@Azathoth43 Everyone knows its empty. All the gold was sold off a long time ago. It took 4 years (2013 to 2017) to give Germany back 374t of its gold, supposedly from Fort Knox. 4 years, from Fort Knox - yeah, right. In an interview in 2017, Russian economist Vladimir Katasonov, a professor at the International Finance Department at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, told Sputnik Radio that the U.S. had not been ready to give the bullion back. The professor suggested Germany's gold bars had been disposed of at the United States’ own discretion. "There are a lot of signs that the gold was not physically present in the New York vaults when Germany called it back. Of course, the U.S. began to return it to Germany but there is one interesting detail. When you leave your suitcase in the luggage storage, you expect to get back the same suitcase. But Germany took the wrong 'suitcase,'" Katasonov told Radio Sputnik. According to the economist, the gold bars that Bundesbank repatriated have different labels. He suggested that the U.S. might have replaced the German bullion with different gold bars bought from the market.
The last thing a marked inmate hears when the lights go out: "We're going to use bottom of the keyway tension with this bit of tuna can and will be using a standard plastic spoon hook in twenty-five thousandths."
Teaches thousands of people how to pick locks. 'I am not gonna go into how picks might be improvised in prison, for obvious reasons.' But you already taught me how to steal stuff and break into places, so technically you bring me into prison and now you refuse to get me out?!
Wonderful design, making the key so large. It means prisoners improvising picking tools by filing down objects (like a toothbrush handle to make a tension bar) don't have to do so much filing.
I'm genuinely curious as to why they are so big! Is the idea that the keys are harder to hide? Is the idea that the lock will be more durable? The mind boggles!
@@bradley3549 Maybe it's to make a warder carrying all those *big* keys seem more intimidating. Oh, and wrap your fist around a bunch of them and you have a weighted fist for beating prisoners.
The manager of the WalMart broke his master key. He came to me in automotive, where I cut customer keys, to see if I could cut a new key from the pieces and I was successful. I noticed that the cuts were very deep and all the same depth. Just to see if I could, I hand cut a key blank until it was just a straight piece of metal at what I estimated would be the correct depth. It worked just as if it had bitting.
walmartdog1142 That’s a common occurrence in multi-tiered mastering systems that are planned by inexperienced locksmiths who use a different pin for mastering of different tiers. Computer-designed master key systems are more common now, and they’re usually better.
What Walmart doesn't have a Hillman automatic key cutting machine? It'd be either the Axxess "Key Cutter" or the newer Hillman branded "Keykrafter" touch screen unit. Neither particularly like glued together keys and neither would allow a custom cut. Unless you took a file to a key blank, neither machine would really work.
@@poiiihy Problem is the Walmart machines don't let you hand cut keys. You slide a key in and the machine automagically traces along the key. There's no manual cutting functions, it's all automated.
All jokes and irony aside, the increased size does have potential benefits. Big locks with big strike plates are harder to break. Big locks mean big keys so harder to smuggle as contraband
I remember hearing a story once (I don't know if it's true, and I could be misremembering some of the details) where supposedly a prison gave all its prisoners a handbook with a picture of a key on it. As it turned out, the key that was chosen to model for the image was the prison's master key, so an industrious prisoner managed to get his hands on a key blank and file it down to match the image, and escaped because he was able to make himself a master key.
so the way in movies where they just go like whup de doo picked a lock in 1 second isnt as inaccurate as i though you just need a bad enough lock apparently
Actually, if you did it right, multiple shear lines could make things harder to pick. The trick is that all the pins have to set on the *same* sheerline in order for it to unlock.
@@Keldor314 Without undercutting, serrations, spools, T pins, or other security features making the job tougher, master keying will always make opening a lock that can be bumped or raked more vulnerable and give two equally valid positions for set. It's mechanical, it doesn't care whether the shear line you're at is created by the bitting for the master or the lower privilege key. Master keying will always create double the viable number of lock positions that open a given lock for each key pin that is made up of more than one part. If you have a one-position master, it's twice. Two, 4 times. Three, 8 times. Four, 16 times. Five, 32 times. It's basic math. You still have to be thinking you can pick the lock and have a tool, but it increases your odds of picking.
This is everyone's life that finds these videos. About .01% of his viewers are actually interested in picking locks, the rest are captivated by his voice and ability to make videos that are straight to the point with no ads for Raid.
I suppose those locks are more designed for extreme use over absolute security. Hence the absolute size, lack of security pins, and ball bearings. Perhaps the lack of pick resistance is mitigated by installing these locks such that inmates are always on the other side of the keyhole when the door is locked.
Yep, the thing is that in most cases anymore those doors are solid so your never getting to the keyway so these kinds of locks are ideal since they stand up better. Even on the older style bar ones are generally designed so you can't easily get to the keyway. I mean sure a really experienced lockpicker might be able to do it with the bar style doors but your still doing it blind with limited mobility, only a really skilled lockpicker could do that.
@@MaethorDerien The main issue I see is that they can be raked open. If they had to be picked more traditionally I could see it posing a much larger challenge. But you dont really need to see what you're doing to just rake it open with an improvised tool. I mean, ultimately, in most prisons, it wouldnt help alllll that much anyways. But its still a design flaw that woudl probably be best to avoid given how low skill Raking is, and the fact it doesnt require any crazy fancy tools, easy to improvise.
Khaisz I was surprised when I put my rake into those free cheap gun locks and it was the perfect bitting. Didn’t even have to rake. It was the key. But for a prison lock this is really surprising. I’ve have master locks take more raking to open!
Your front door can be locked without a key? That's a pretty serious design flaw. Where I live, everyone uses deadbolts for door locking mechanisms, spring bolts are only ever connected to a handle, not to a lock.
@@TobiasLindh If you don't count European Russia as Europe -- only once, and wasn't interested in studying locks. I do remember though that there wasn't anything unusual about our hotel room door -- in partucular, we definitely didn't have to watch out not to accidentally close it lest we be locked out outside.
@@ivan_pozdeev_u There are many different variants with hotel rooms, but most of the ones I've seen also lock the rooms door without a key. Especially the ones that are controlled by a card. The spring bolt is connected to the handle, but front doors don't have a handle on the outside. You still have to use the key to set the deadbolt, but you when you forgot your key inside and closed the door, you can't get in anymore.
0:53 funny you should mention this, I once attacked a lock by obtaining the operating key and filed it down. However as you mentioned some section was cut too low on the operating key. My solution was to use electronics solder on the area I needed built up. I made a big ugly blob of solder and carefully hand filed without breaking the delicate bond between the key and the solder. It worked well on ACE and Abloy type keys as well.
How do CO’s keep lock smiths behind bars, I mean it’s just a matter of time till you hear “click out of 2... 4 starts binding...” all the sudden you have the whole prison running after you.
CO's usually aren't armed. Besides pepper spray. Also, bar-style doors went out with the old west. We use nice, thick, solid chunks of steel these days.
The stacked pins you see here are the crux of it. That results in there being more than one position on each bit of the key that can allow the cylinder to turn. Make one of those positions consistent across a set of locks, while the other varies, and you've got it.
Look at the ones that have 3 pins. That allows for two different positions to be used for each position. The tiny pin in the middle of the two larger ones is used to make the master key combinations.
This is my new favorite youtube site. You have an excellent way of explaining what you are doing and an very nice video setup arrangement. Before I first saw one of your videos about 10 days ago, lockpicking was not an interest of mine, but it is now!
Dude I can’t thank you enough for this. I just successfully broke out of prison because of this video and wanted to show my gratitude. I watched this video before going to prison and then swallowed the required tools to pick these locks. I was in prison for life without parol and now I’m out. If that doesn’t get you to subscribe, I don’t know what will.
Your so awesome taking the time to show us all the inside of all your locks, I can’t imagine the time it takes to reassemble the pins and springs the proper way
I know realize how LPL took 1st place in the Lock Picking Competition, no other competitors bothered showing up when they found out LPL was a participant!
Mr .LPL Your skills are off the charts! I found your channel a month ago and been hooked every since ,I watch 10 videos a day at least you got a fan for life, thank you for what you bring to all of us....
Also, most of the time, locking picking isn’t a worry. The main concern is inmates stuffing the locks with various items to jam them, effectively making the lock useless
When your in the library of the prison looking for a tutorial on how to improvise picks in a prison setting and LPL says he isn't gonna talk about it. Sad inmate noises
Just stay clear of the dozen serial murderers and you'd honestly be fine. People just want to get out and restart their lives. Not cause a lot more problems for themselves.

@@ArkamasRoss yes
Can't show it's empty.
@@Azathoth43 Everyone knows its empty. All the gold was sold off a long time ago. It took 4 years (2013 to 2017) to give Germany back 374t of its gold, supposedly from Fort Knox. 4 years, from Fort Knox - yeah, right. In an interview in 2017, Russian economist Vladimir Katasonov, a professor at the International Finance Department at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, told Sputnik Radio that the U.S. had not been ready to give the bullion back. The professor suggested Germany's gold bars had been disposed of at the United States’ own discretion.
"There are a lot of signs that the gold was not physically present in the New York vaults when Germany called it back. Of course, the U.S. began to return it to Germany but there is one interesting detail. When you leave your suitcase in the luggage storage, you expect to get back the same suitcase. But Germany took the wrong 'suitcase,'" Katasonov told Radio Sputnik. According to the economist, the gold bars that Bundesbank repatriated have different labels. He suggested that the U.S. might have replaced the German bullion with different gold bars bought from the market.

Wonderful design, making the key so large. It means prisoners improvising picking tools by filing down objects (like a toothbrush handle to make a tension bar) don't have to do so much filing.
I'm genuinely curious as to why they are so big! Is the idea that the keys are harder to hide? Is the idea that the lock will be more durable? The mind boggles!
@@bradley3549, the keys are harder to accidentally snap off in the lock due to rough handling in an emergency.

The manager of the WalMart broke his master key. He came to me in automotive, where I cut customer keys, to see if I could cut a new key from the pieces and I was successful. I noticed that the cuts were very deep and all the same depth. Just to see if I could, I hand cut a key blank until it was just a straight piece of metal at what I estimated would be the correct depth. It worked just as if it had bitting.
walmartdog1142 That’s a common occurrence in multi-tiered mastering systems that are planned by inexperienced locksmiths who use a different pin for mastering of different tiers. Computer-designed master key systems are more common now, and they’re usually better.
What Walmart doesn't have a Hillman automatic key cutting machine? It'd be either the Axxess "Key Cutter" or the newer Hillman branded "Keykrafter" touch screen unit. Neither particularly like glued together keys and neither would allow a custom cut. Unless you took a file to a key blank, neither machine would really work.
Compgeke he said he cut it by hand
@@poiiihy Problem is the Walmart machines don't let you hand cut keys. You slide a key in and the machine automagically traces along the key. There's no manual cutting functions, it's all automated.

When you check-in to the Greybar hotel they always forget to hand you the key.
@@TheSmurfboard - They don't even give you a "cell phone."
@@scootergeorge9576 lol!
Yeah, for a friend. Right?
Well, if the lock is larger, than it certainly HAS to be better... Right?
If it was a little larger, the inmates would escape though the keyhole.
That's the American way!
Any jail I've worked at either had remote electric locks or locks needing brass keys about 2 " wide, over 4" long and about 1/8 " thick.
They are large (Keyes) so they are harder to hide (think palming for the older huge Keyes and rectal for these) ouch!
All jokes and irony aside, the increased size does have potential benefits. Big locks with big strike plates are harder to break. Big locks mean big keys so harder to smuggle as contraband
It's been 1 year today since I escaped prison. . . Thank you for making this video!
YT: LPL

And this is kids how you get out of prison: you need a good lawyer-a good lock picking lawyer is even better.

It's always easier to take stuff apart than it is to put it together. Call it entropy.
The LockPickingLawyer:
"Either way you're going free."
prisoner: "what are you doing? come on, we need to get out!"
LPL: "wait, i'm just taking this lock for my video"
I remember hearing a story once (I don't know if it's true, and I could be misremembering some of the details) where supposedly a prison gave all its prisoners a handbook with a picture of a key on it. As it turned out, the key that was chosen to model for the image was the prison's master key, so an industrious prisoner managed to get his hands on a key blank and file it down to match the image, and escaped because he was able to make himself a master key.
Turns out its true! Its also not the only case of a prisoner recreating the master key, so that’s disconcerting.
"Before we get too picky..." Oh, we have puns this morning, do we? :D

you just need a bad enough lock apparently
“Well that was pretty quick let’s do that one more time” dude really be having fun picking locks all the time!
That's a beefy lock. Having more than one shear line makes them easier to rake open or pick. Great video!
🤬
@@lifeuncovered6188 why are you like this
Actually, if you did it right, multiple shear lines could make things harder to pick. The trick is that all the pins have to set on the *same* sheerline in order for it to unlock.
@@Keldor314 Better prison locks!
but how?
@@Keldor314 Without undercutting, serrations, spools, T pins, or other security features making the job tougher, master keying will always make opening a lock that can be bumped or raked more vulnerable and give two equally valid positions for set. It's mechanical, it doesn't care whether the shear line you're at is created by the bitting for the master or the lower privilege key. Master keying will always create double the viable number of lock positions that open a given lock for each key pin that is made up of more than one part. If you have a one-position master, it's twice. Two, 4 times. Three, 8 times. Four, 16 times. Five, 32 times. It's basic math. You still have to be thinking you can pick the lock and have a tool, but it increases your odds of picking.
I don't know why I've been watching your videos. There's no rhyme or reason. But I'm not stopping now!
Same
This is everyone's life that finds these videos. About .01% of his viewers are actually interested in picking locks, the rest are captivated by his voice and ability to make videos that are straight to the point with no ads for Raid.
Thank you so much! After years of being in prison, I finally ESCAPED!
LPL "this is the LPL and today I'm going to show you how to break out of Alcatraz in 2 seconds"
I suppose those locks are more designed for extreme use over absolute security. Hence the absolute size, lack of security pins, and ball bearings.
Perhaps the lack of pick resistance is mitigated by installing these locks such that inmates are always on the other side of the keyhole when the door is locked.
Yep, the thing is that in most cases anymore those doors are solid so your never getting to the keyway so these kinds of locks are ideal since they stand up better. Even on the older style bar ones are generally designed so you can't easily get to the keyway. I mean sure a really experienced lockpicker might be able to do it with the bar style doors but your still doing it blind with limited mobility, only a really skilled lockpicker could do that.
@@MaethorDerien The main issue I see is that they can be raked open. If they had to be picked more traditionally I could see it posing a much larger challenge. But you dont really need to see what you're doing to just rake it open with an improvised tool.
I mean, ultimately, in most prisons, it wouldnt help alllll that much anyways. But its still a design flaw that woudl probably be best to avoid given how low skill Raking is, and the fact it doesnt require any crazy fancy tools, easy to improvise.
"Wow, that was pretty quick"
>Puts the rake in and the locks open before you even barely started raking.
Khaisz I was surprised when I put my rake into those free cheap gun locks and it was the perfect bitting. Didn’t even have to rake. It was the key. But for a prison lock this is really surprising. I’ve have master locks take more raking to open!
Me: locks door while leaving my keys in the house
Me: “No!!!!”
Also me: *”My time has come.”*
Your front door can be locked without a key? That's a pretty serious design flaw.
Where I live, everyone uses deadbolts for door locking mechanisms, spring bolts are only ever connected to a handle, not to a lock.
@@ivan_pozdeev_u Have you ever been to Europe? Almost every front door here locks without a key.
@@TobiasLindh If you don't count European Russia as Europe -- only once, and wasn't interested in studying locks. I do remember though that there wasn't anything unusual about our hotel room door -- in partucular, we definitely didn't have to watch out not to accidentally close it lest we be locked out outside.
@@ivan_pozdeev_u There are many different variants with hotel rooms, but most of the ones I've seen also lock the rooms door without a key. Especially the ones that are controlled by a card.
The spring bolt is connected to the handle, but front doors don't have a handle on the outside. You still have to use the key to set the deadbolt, but you when you forgot your key inside and closed the door, you can't get in anymore.

0:53 funny you should mention this, I once attacked a lock by obtaining the operating key and filed it down. However as you mentioned some section was cut too low on the operating key. My solution was to use electronics solder on the area I needed built up. I made a big ugly blob of solder and carefully hand filed without breaking the delicate bond between the key and the solder. It worked well on ACE and Abloy type keys as well.

How do CO’s keep lock smiths behind bars, I mean it’s just a matter of time till you hear “click out of 2... 4 starts binding...” all the sudden you have the whole prison running after you.
Because the gaurds are armed.
Guns go pew-pew. Prison guards can use this to their advantage
And I think 7 years for an escape conviction may have something to do with it as well.
CO's usually aren't armed. Besides pepper spray. Also, bar-style doors went out with the old west. We use nice, thick, solid chunks of steel these days.

So the next time they send me up the river I'll ask my girlfriend to send me a cake with a wave rake inside instead of a sawblade!
Make a video about how master key works. Please?
The stacked pins you see here are the crux of it. That results in there being more than one position on each bit of the key that can allow the cylinder to turn. Make one of those positions consistent across a set of locks, while the other varies, and you've got it.
You can find quite solid explanation @ unitedlocksmith.net/blog/how-master-key-systems-work
Deviant Ollam's talk called "Mastering Master Keys" is a good introduction to the subject.
Didn't he just did in this video? I thought it was pretty clear.
Look at the ones that have 3 pins. That allows for two different positions to be used for each position. The tiny pin in the middle of the two larger ones is used to make the master key combinations.
Ex-cons watching how easy these locks are to pick after serving their full sentence: 👁👄👁

Now THAT was a unique lock, and the video was a treat! Thanks!
Also, most of the time, locking picking isn’t a worry. The main concern is inmates stuffing the locks with various items to jam them, effectively making the lock useless
That explains the size. Lot harder to jam.
