A couple weeks ago my wife needed a new locker padlock at the gym/pool she goes to due to a rash of thefts and the prevalence of cheap Master combination locks (including hers). Thanks to this channel I was quickly able to veto about 95% of the locks for sale at the hardware store we went to as being just as crappy, if not even worse, as what she was already using.
@@BL-yj2wp A brass five-pin Yale padlock with a hardened steel shank. I figured nobody was cruising the locker rooms with bolt cutters, lock picks, or other burglary tools. The vast majority were Master locks that you could open with a harsh glare and a wag of your finger, and really cheap storage unit locks like he did a couple weeks back. Honestly, for an Ace Hardware you'd expect better options.
@@BL-yj2wp A few rolls of duct tape. We all know duct tape around a lock keeps LPL busy longer than any lock can. And if you want you still can add a few rats and cockroaches and Mark Robers glitter bomb inside of the locker and you should be fine.
We had a pick party after Thanksgiving dinner that went over big. Got 12 Master locks of various sizes, mostly old some new, and a bunch of picks and turning tools. Had a blast watching people who never picked a lock fiddling around watching RUclips videos. It was great.
Maybe it's a lock they only sell in bulk, hence why it comes in a plain box. The lock information would be on the wholesale outer packaging that contains all the smaller boxes inside.
I've purchased genuine ASSA high quality locks in person from an ASSA owned retailer and they came in generic zip lock bags . At over $200 for the set .
"Ships from Bulgaria," according to one site that sells it. There was also one sold recently on eBay from Sofia, Bulgaria. It turns out Assa Abloy has a manufacturing facility in Varna, Bulgaria, though they apparently operate there under the name Dekaba.
We used 2 of these locks in the garden to secure the storage of our tools and the main building. After 5 years both looks stopt working and we weren't able to turn the core to open the lock. After a lot of work, I managed to open the lock and something fell out, I believe that it was the part of the core that holds the springs and pins in place. Took me about 30 - 40 minutes to open each lock without powertools.
Multiple spools, decent amount of pins, good quality workmanship - definitely above average, and something that will turn away inexperienced pickers and many simple attacks. Basically, if it’s in a public place and you aren’t being attacked by an expert, this will at least get them noticed before they open the lock.
It has security pins and required him to pick at least pin 1 twice. LPL is extremely skilled at lockpicking so it took him about as long as it'd likely take me to open a masterlock with a wave rake. The novice lock picker will probably be working on this lock for several minutes at the minimum. It would deter the casual thief who'd find a less secure target. A determined intruder would probably resort to a destructive attack to the lock or whatever it was securing to get in. In other words, it's perfectly fine for a gym locker or possibly a shed (depending on its weather resistance) but probably not how you'd want to secure your piles of gold bricks.
he needs a door mounted on a frame and a latch and do it standing up with the lock actually locked to something just like he would actually have to do in real life..
@@DAVE_WHITE: Nah, he'd spend way too much time mounting locks on door frames. Besides, in many ways, it's actually more difficult to pick an unmounted lock.
I love that z lock picked in seconds is "above average" XD I Know he's a super experienced lockpicker but still. "Hmm, yeah it;s above average pick resistance"
he did come in first place in a picking competition by a significant margin so im not surprised he accidentally beast modes it on cheap locks like this
I don’t know how your channel appeared in my feed, but you are awesome. I may be able to make a hobby out of this. I’m working on a jobsite that has been shut down/abandoned since 2011, and there were locks on everything outside. I had to check for power for the grading guys, so I had to carry a drill and a 1/4” bit to drill all the locks out to get them open to check for power. The superintendent went through with a grinder cutting a few. I got 6 to his 3. Also, he got stung. There were wasps in every thing we opened, but they got him in action while grinding. It would’ve been really to go in and pick 5 while he was grinding on one getting stung! I mean that’s bad but still would’ve been cool to exploit such a skill.
He only picked it once, I’ll need him to pick it again to show me it was not a fluke 🤪 Also just noticed the video is labelled 1477, shouldn’t it be 1577??
I know, it’s a joke. Rakes and other low skill methods can occasionally fluke the lock open hence the do it twice test but I’m never here early enough to make a joke usually so I took my opportunity and I regret nothing.
I've got one of these. I'm a novice picker & gave up trying to pick it after about 2 hours. This guy's incredible skillset should not be underestimated!
My sister just got screwed over by both her storage facility and a locksmith. She lost the key to her lock on the day of her move, so the facility said they had someone who could cut it off. She got there and they said they had no such person and that she would have to call a locksmith. He couldn't figure out the lock so he just hit it with a grinder. Total bill? $400. To show up and spend two minutes cutting a storage unit lock. So yeah, I just ordered the learning kit from Covert Instruments. We're not dealing with that again.
It would be funny to send him a lock that has all the parts of a normal lock but only opens by a hidden random digital opener. He would be trying to pick forever.
It is nice to see that LPL is going back to basics again. As much as I love this channel, I am getting quite bored with videos that have nothing to do with actual lock picking. There were several videos with bags being tested on being cut and/or slash proof, wrenching locks, destroying locks with a Ramset and car door locks always being opened with a Lishi. And I admit; those Lishi's are brilliant, but somehow a Lishi in the hands of LPL just doesn't seem quite right. I loved the video's where LPL is making short work of really beefy, well engineered locks such as the Squire's and ERA's. I really would like to see those kind of locks return on this channel. Also the mysterious packages sent in by viewers that are being opened on camera. The old locks that are probably forgotten by many that originate from all over the world, a history lesson that comes with it about the lock.... And I am quite sure that, like me, there are many more people who would want to see LPL finally picking the Bowley lock.
I'd like to see tips on picking this kind of lock in it's natural form, meaning when locked to something you have to pick it upside down. A motion many may be unused to.
I picked my first cheapo Masterlock today using the CI starter kit. I can get it open most tries in about 20 seconds. I don't really know HOW I'm doing it, but I am doing it.
At first I was like “Oh I’ve seen these so many times when I lived in Germany” but then he held the Abus one next to it and I’m pretty sure that’s the one I know
The looseness of the cylinder (moving forward and back) is something I've found on poor quality versions of this type of lock which oddly (just like roughly machined pins in pig iron padlocks) can make them a little more awkward to pick. I would have thought it was a sign that this IKON lock is a cheap copy, also having a brass cylinder not steel, but I wouldn't have expected security pins in a cheap copy lock. So it's a odd thing indeed.
GD! I just bought this lock because someone broke the lock off of my storage unit. Now I gotta get another lock?!? 🤦🏽♀️ At this point they just have the shit in my storage unit……
I know that Assa Abloy sometimes brands products of their other subsidiaries as IKON products for the German market, to capitalize on the brand recognition or something along those lines. Things like Abloy Protec locks are available with Ikon branding at some German locksmiths. Could it be that this disc lock is made by a different manufacturer that does business under the Assa Abloy umbrella?
I have one of these no name disc locks and I cannot get it open for my life, there's almost no feedback pins are just mushy and don't seem to set no matter how much, or little I tension it lol. It can't be raked either
I've a disk lock I've had similar problems with. Mushy pins, can't feel a binder, little to no feedback. I had to use a LOT of tension to get it open. When I say a lot, I mean so much that my turning was bending, digging into and hurting my hand. So much it felt like something might break. So maybe you also just need an absurd amount of tension to feel something
@@bad_wulph I've tried A LOT of tension so much so two hours later my finger has an indent in it. And the funny thing is if you look at the biting on the key it looks like a bump key lol. Like it should open by accident. I'm still a "new" picker because it's not been quite a year yet I've been doing it but in my limited experience it's the super cheap no name locks that can be the most challenging. The tolerances are so bad it's almost a security feature. But I'll take your advice and only use super high tension with it from now on. Thank you
@@TRIIGGAVELLI you may also just need to set it aside for a while and come back when you have more experience. That's what I had to do with it, I'm new-ish also. The tension I had to use may not be what you need. Are you sure there isn't a pin in the back you're missing? One of mine has a pin in the back that sits really low, so low that my standard hook doesn't fit under it when I'm using bottom-of-keyway tension. I end up hitting the side of it instead, which can trick you into thinking you've hit the back of the lock.
I still havent beat my generic cheap lock of this style. It’s not the pins that are the problem but the tumbler itself seems to have some misalignment inside. When using the key you really have to force it to turn the mechanism. This makes picking quite difficult
I love how he spends more time shilling his products than actually picking the lock. Pretty amusing how easy he gets into these things every time XD I know that comes off as a knock, but it's not it's a compliment I promise!
I know all that you buy from store are pickable ( unless i missed something) but it seems 99.9 % of thieves get through locks with crow bars, hammers and bolt cutters . This one seems to be the one that would survive the longest under attack. Yes? No? . Anyway love the channel. This is definitely a skill you would want when SHTF.
I have two similar locks on a shed after police advised me to use round locks following a break in some years ago. Apparently your average dumb thief tries to jemmy the lock and the crow bar slides off. I have had a hasp broken but they gave up at that point when they realised there was a second lock at the bottom of the door and moved onto someone else's shed (probably with a Master lock that surrendered when they looked at it 🙂 ).
A shame you ship to the surrounding countries but not the Netherlands, you have some really great sales going on and I would have loved to get started learning to pick. But I guess our customs agents are being annoying about them, despite them technically being legal. Only when you insert them into a lock that you do not own do they become illegal.
I have this exact same lock. It was part of the first purchase of random locks when I got interested in this hobby. It took me a loooong time until I was able to pick it though, even managed to do some Abus locks from the same purchase way before this one.

I mean, it wasn't raked, nor opened with a shim, juice jug, mallet, a random twig he got from a tree in front of his house ...
Well, when the average lock can be opened by a bypass tool, a rake or a comb pick, that is not a very high bar to defeat.
Coming from him, I'd buy that lock.

I have this exact same lock. It was part of the first purchase of random locks when I got interested in this hobby. It took me a loooong time until I was able to pick it though, even managed to do some Abus locks from the same purchase way before this one.
