@@neilkurzman4907It seems that people end up using "to pick" to mean "non-destructive entry", which is technically incorrect as you basically said. It is understandable though, picking is by far the most popular instance of non-destructive ways to unlock.
Bypass, not pick. Picking requires some skill. 'Normal' users aren't, and shouldn't be particularly concerned with how pickable a lock is for low security situations. Obviously something that can be opened in 5 seconds by raking is bad, but even that is a skill. (I'm awful at raking and I can't figure out WHY!!! I have 7-pin locks with security pins that I can open but I have only ever gotten raking to work a handful of times, even on locks that someone has HANDED me after raking it open.) How easy it is to pick most normal locks is usually a manufacturing problem. Picking relies on things being slightly out of alignment and/or tolerances not being perfect. We live in the physical world. nothing is ever perfect. Any normal lock is eventually pickable. Conversely, a bypass flaw is a major design problem. These are often ZERO skill attacks. Knowing the bypass exists is often all it takes to use it. A car door that a novice can open with tools in a few minutes isn't great. A car door that anyone can open by pulling the handle sharply 3-4 times is on a totally different level.
@@SyRose901 Not in real life it isn't. Criminals don't pick locks. Locksmiths (sometimes) pick locks. Sometimes spies and spooks do too. Hobbyists pick locks. Criminals would MUCH rather bypass a lock. No skill required. No/few tools required. No obvious broken lock left when they leave.
I mean if you can scrounge up a tool whenever you need to access your stuff, otherwise you will likely forget your tool too. And if you manage to carry the tool in a way that you dont forget it, then you just taught yourself a way to carry a spare key in a way you wont forget it. But it might still work for ya.
We used them at work for this reason. I like to have something that's easy to remove when the stores invariably lose the key 😂 they're also cheaper than a good pack of cutting discs

These types of locks are designed for use with shipping containers. The parts they bolt together are covered with a shroud that's built into the overlapping container door.
Yep, they'll keep making them like this so long as people keep buying them. The answer is for word to get out such that the MasterLock brand no longer has any credibility with the public. Once the brand is trash, and the public stop buying, then the company will start paying attention to actual security.
Only two quotes needed .... "These are locks to avoid" and "The 606" ... as he starts and ends the picking of a 606 with what is a pointed bit of metal ...
When I saw multiple of the same lock on the table I really thought we were going to get a "This is a master lock 607 it can be open with a master lock 607"

Unshielded keyway, comb pick, and you can just slam them together to open them. Like how a master key can open any lock, a Master Lock can be opened with any key.
You could probably make a decent amount of money including a link to a recommended alternative from Amazon. I desperately need a lock like this for my trailer ASAP.

As a lawyer, he knows very well the pitfalls of recommending a product. BosnianBill occasionally did recs, so you could try looking over at his channel. Alas, there will be no more new stuff as Bill has retired from RUclips. You could also just see if a lock you think might be good ended up on this channel.
The closest thing to a recommendation that I've seen him give is to PACLOCK. Search that name here on his channel and you'll find it. That's what I use now for all my locking needs.

LPL just prooved that these are no locks! 👍👌👏 Extremely well done again and as always. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.
It's easier to open the lock with the bypass tool than the key. That's just ridiculous. I haven't bought a masterlock product since I found this channel years ago and never will again. They don't care about their customers safety or security when they refuse to address flaws that have been public for years.
Only reason I leave my tools in the job box at work is because someone is replacing what was stolen, because the locks on a construction site are crap, most are “commercial” masterlocks that I’ve taken home and raked opened for practice. Ngl I still suck at picking but if I can “pick” most masterlocks they should be shamed
I have a Stanley tools lock that looks exactly like the bigger one, except it's written Stanley. Checked the key, same format but nickel plated and with Stanley engraved on it. It's the same lock.
As long as people keep buying them they will never change things. Even the simplest flaws could possibly cost 10s of thousands to redesign or even if it’s just 10 cents they still ain’t changing it while their locks keep selling as they are. They are cheap and most people won’t or can’t afford to buy better more expensive brands so they are left with nothing or a masterlock
You knew Master Lock was in for a beat down when the video only lasts for 2 minutes and the first 30 seconds or so is devoted to a lock that was picked open in an earlier video
To be fair, the images on the package are suggesting it's suitable for fence gates and sheds. The kind of thing where someone who wants in has nearly unlimited avenues of attack, so a good lock just results in them taking apart the hinges or breaking a window.
I am consistently amazed at how thin our everyday security shields are. Thank you for shedding a light on how vulnerable we all really are. What locks would you recommend as at least a reasonable shot at some security?
