Thank you for this! When I bought my house, the AC compressor was in a cage locked with a Masterlock puck lock, for which we were not given the key.

The "comb attack," where the pins are overset to bypass the core, was actually a vulnerability in locks made in _Ancient Egypt._ and the pins in their locks were wooden blocks about 2 to 3 inches per side.

@@sbaxter4207 Give a call to PACLOCK, as it stands right now, most of our products do not have this problem. And, in a few months, we'll have it so all of our key numbers don't have this problem.
@@sbaxter4207 if your stupid enough to trust a lock without doing your homework and then watching this video then still using said lock you deserve to be cleaned out.
You assume allot, you must make allot of terrible mistakes in your life. I don’t own the lock but thousands+ obviously do and most will never get to see this video.
Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Ten-times makes me want to toss all of my keys in the bin and obtain a few comb-picks.
Speaking from a padlock manufacturing perspective, I think this vulnerability was likely "solved" back in the day because of the inability of the times to produce such thin combs. But that's just my guess as my relationship with padlock manufacturing started just over 15 years ago. Not sure if Master has seen this yet or not, but PACLOCK pays attention... that's for sure. Short answer to the "is this is a problem for PACLOCK?" is "mostly no, it is not a problem." Not trying to be a politician here, really just trying to be 100% with you all. We haven't done the math, but around 85% of our cylinders across the board are NOT susceptible to this sort of attack. And it's not really fair to blame the cylinder, although it is obviously the vehicle of the problem. It's more related to bitting for PACLOCK. The critical difference between a PACLOCK cylinder and everyone else out there in our product class is that we introduced a "bump resistance pin" back in 2009. Take a PACLOCK core apart and you'll see 5 driver pins with security features and then one "standard" pin way at the back. "Standard" is what everyone calls it because they just assume it's standard. It's not. Back in '08 we were trying to improve our pick and mainly our bump resistance. Our tests showed that the bumping technique depends heavily on mass (weight) in order for a shear line to be created during the bumping. So we added security driver pins, varied with styles, in the first five chambers. But the last chamber we left that pin completely solid AND we made it larger than all the other driver pins. Extra mass! So the other 5 pins have much less mass because they are shorter and they also have material removed as a part of the security features in the pin. Definitely not a "standard" driver pin like most everyone points out! Because of this technique, we have darn good bump resistance. Guess what, we're also getting some very nice over lift resistance as well because of it. Plus, our cylinders are designed slightly different than Master's so that as long as you have some larger pins somewhere in your bitting lineup, then you're protected against the over lift. Really, two conditions have to be met in order for a PACLOCK to be over lifted. Our quick math, looking at our bittings, says we're around 85% effective against this sort of attack. But we will be 100%. In 24 hours we already re-designed, built, and tested a revised version of our bump pin that will take care of us. Once we get some production-class samples ready, might send some on over to LPL that have the vulnerability (in our current form) and then use that same bitting in the newly modified cylinder to show it's been fixed. I'm sure Master will just as quick to hop on this since it looks like 100% of their products are susceptible to this very easy attack. Well done LPL!
You are wrong. It is just being lazy. Lock companies put lies on their boxes and sell lies. He is way too nice. Saying something is a high security product and can be opened in 1 second should end in a criminal investigation of misleading and a lot of law suits. More people show expose these things to make it fair for consumers. Just picture buying a car - yeah... 200 horse power, 5 seconds to reach 60mph, low fuel consumption, 4 airbags, ABS. You buy it and it is a... bike... This is how bad these things are!
I like how he pauses to show each key off. I know it's not really the reason, but I like to imagine it's just him thinking "What on earth are these things? I keep finding them everywhere, but have never found a use for them."
Yeah,@@brownro214 is right. Basically some individual locks can be randomly susceptible to this if they just happen to be keyed with all short pins, so he was showing the keys to demonstrate that it wasn't something lucky like that.
@@sethb3090 a key filled with just short pins would still be an indication of poor process control. A quality lock manufactur does avoid some pin combinations to avoid various issues.
assuming you're not trying the same key with the same lock multiple times or trying keys on locks that are already paired to a key it'll take at most 10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 key insertions to match every key to it's lock. Most likely half that.
I've been curious about security for quite some time now. Your videos are an excellent learning tool 🔧 thank you for sharing. My knowledge has grown since watching.
"We could properly design our locks, ORRRR we could rely on being slightly too small for tools that currently exist, a situation that could be easily remedied by tool-makers."
One of his previous videos he shows a customization trick that will purposefully jam the core if you fail to address it while picking or you use a key with the wrong bitting. So if he really was picking his lock every time he'd be living on the edge

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Ten-times makes me want to toss all of my keys in the bin and obtain a few comb-picks.
Speaking from a padlock manufacturing perspective, I think this vulnerability was likely "solved" back in the day because of the inability of the times to produce such thin combs. But that's just my guess as my relationship with padlock manufacturing started just over 15 years ago.
Not sure if Master has seen this yet or not, but PACLOCK pays attention... that's for sure. Short answer to the "is this is a problem for PACLOCK?" is "mostly no, it is not a problem." Not trying to be a politician here, really just trying to be 100% with you all. We haven't done the math, but around 85% of our cylinders across the board are NOT susceptible to this sort of attack.
And it's not really fair to blame the cylinder, although it is obviously the vehicle of the problem. It's more related to bitting for PACLOCK. The critical difference between a PACLOCK cylinder and everyone else out there in our product class is that we introduced a "bump resistance pin" back in 2009. Take a PACLOCK core apart and you'll see 5 driver pins with security features and then one "standard" pin way at the back. "Standard" is what everyone calls it because they just assume it's standard.
It's not. Back in '08 we were trying to improve our pick and mainly our bump resistance. Our tests showed that the bumping technique depends heavily on mass (weight) in order for a shear line to be created during the bumping. So we added security driver pins, varied with styles, in the first five chambers. But the last chamber we left that pin completely solid AND we made it larger than all the other driver pins. Extra mass! So the other 5 pins have much less mass because they are shorter and they also have material removed as a part of the security features in the pin. Definitely not a "standard" driver pin like most everyone points out!
Because of this technique, we have darn good bump resistance.
Guess what, we're also getting some very nice over lift resistance as well because of it. Plus, our cylinders are designed slightly different than Master's so that as long as you have some larger pins somewhere in your bitting lineup, then you're protected against the over lift. Really, two conditions have to be met in order for a PACLOCK to be over lifted. Our quick math, looking at our bittings, says we're around 85% effective against this sort of attack.
But we will be 100%. In 24 hours we already re-designed, built, and tested a revised version of our bump pin that will take care of us. Once we get some production-class samples ready, might send some on over to LPL that have the vulnerability (in our current form) and then use that same bitting in the newly modified cylinder to show it's been fixed.
I'm sure Master will just as quick to hop on this since it looks like 100% of their products are susceptible to this very easy attack. Well done LPL!
You are wrong. It is just being lazy. Lock companies put lies on their boxes and sell lies. He is way too nice. Saying something is a high security product and can be opened in 1 second should end in a criminal investigation of misleading and a lot of law suits. More people show expose these things to make it fair for consumers. Just picture buying a car - yeah... 200 horse power, 5 seconds to reach 60mph, low fuel consumption, 4 airbags, ABS. You buy it and it is a... bike... This is how bad these things are!
I like how he pauses to show each key off. I know it's not really the reason, but I like to imagine it's just him thinking "What on earth are these things? I keep finding them everywhere, but have never found a use for them."
LPL replied to another comment where he said the pause was to show each key was different.
He’s memorising each key for future reference 👍🏻😀
Yeah,@@brownro214 is right. Basically some individual locks can be randomly susceptible to this if they just happen to be keyed with all short pins, so he was showing the keys to demonstrate that it wasn't something lucky like that.
@@sethb3090 a key filled with just short pins would still be an indication of poor process control. A quality lock manufactur does avoid some pin combinations to avoid various issues.
