"This is the lockpicking lawyer, and what I have for you today are a pair of thieves who are about to do a lot of finding out. I've discovered them inside robbing my house, and disabled my doors so they can't be unlocked from the inside without this set of tools, that I sell on the covert instruments website. I've hidden the tools inside progressively more difficult lockboxes throughout the house, with each one giving you the tool you need to open the next" If they can get through all four dozen of them in under 2 hours, they will find a key to disable the locks and escape.

LockPickingLawyer Fun fact: the name for the Finnish lock company Abloy comes from Swedish word 'aktiebolag' (AB for short) and Finnish 'osakeyhtiö' (OY for short) both meaning corporation and when put together with an L in between makes up ABLOY. Im finnish and here in Finland 99% of our door locks are made by Abloy. :D
That's actually a well thought out box. If it took a few more turns to open it then it would slow down much more. The tolerance also seem to be pretty bad. Great video :-)
The design isn't bad. Brute force attacks wouldn't be easy. But you are right that the tolerances on the core were not good, and a few more turns would be helpful as well.
@@ellison193 most expensive one from covert instruments:) (joking this was before he started the company but he would obv reccommend his own brand today) edit: It looked like a straight pick to me
At this point, I've gone from "as long as it keeps curious kids from getting to the gun" to "as long as it's hard enough to break into that a kid who can break into it is also old enough to be trusted with a gun".
I'm looking through these vids now, to help me find a decent lockbox when travelling and staying at rentals. Nothing is unbreakable, but it seems that the longer the vid, the better the box!
The reality is 20 years ago this lock probably would've been a great security lock against common tampering against it, only trade/industry workers and experienced lock pickers would know how to get inside a good tubular lock quickly. Now anyone even as young as 11-years old could go online and figure out how to SPP this lock.
lazy kids would not have access to these tools, and then find a rotary lock of a car they just broke into,,, no way, odds are so rare not thought to worry about.
I purchased one of these about a year ago and they changed the style of the core so that the center of the tube no longer turns. I would love to see your opinion on the newer lock style.
@@GFAWapollo lol I know I sounded kinda sketch. It’s fine I ended up calling hornady and they mailed me a replacement for 3 bucks. The tool was like 38 when I finally found it 🤷🏽♂️
For what this box is designed for it is fabulous. Smash and grab criminals don’t have the time to waste on picking a lock most of them aren’t even smart enough to know how to get it done so in that case I’m betting on the lockbox staying where it is.
I bought one of the newer versions of this (Hornady Key Lock Safe 2600KL) and they added two more lockup points. One on each side of the safe , two inches forward of the anchor cable cutout. They also added a lot of curves and streamlining to the box. I assume all the extra curves in the body added some integrity to the safe as well. VERY disappointing that it was so easy to pick.
This was their now discontinued model 98152, Hornady has modified this Gun Box with a couple of improvements, including lock location. How about updating your picking on the new model 98153? Thanks
I tried this with my late father's double cylinder lock safe... the two cylinders were space about 3 feet apart and connected internally with a metal rod such that both needed to spin simultaneously to open both locks. It was a basic $400 eagle gun safe from Academy and we eventually had to drill it open. I guess we would have needed two people picking/twisting at the same time.
They used to use tubular type locks on the early PCs as keyboard locks to prevent a keyboard from operating. I was often called upon by friends in the early 90's to help out friends who had lost their keys. (You could either pick the lock, or just open up the casing and clip a bridge wire in!) Needless to say, most manufacturers did not use a high quality lock.
😂Hornady will be really mad for disclosing this. I was about to buy this lock box from amazon but after watching this I am now having second thought to buy it.
I love the frequent uploads! I was thinking of getting into picking. What would you recommend? Im looking at a Peterson Gem, and a Peterson Pry Bar 0.050. Great work!
+Ryan Demsky I've never been a huge fan of the gem, but I know others are. As for the .05" prybar, that will be limited to a few keyways. If I were you, I would check out Bosnian Bill's page on beginning lock picking. It is excellent, and have some great advice.
If getting just a few picks I'd start with a standard hook, gives you more feel for the pins. try to get a few tension tools as well, include a bottom of the keyway and a .40 prybar,. take a look into sparrows as well supplier wise, do note their prices are in Canadian dollars.
Considering the somewhat specialized tension tool required and solid lock up of the box I'm personally satisfied assuming it is an item that costs less then $80. Confining it in a dresser or nightstand drawer would make it even more difficult to open. However in the end it is a tin box. I'm curious about how you would make these locks to open more difficult by changing the environment thus improving a weak lock by making it awkward to pick. The puck lock I have on my work truck can't be accessed without first tearing down my fence or the side door you could hand upside down from the roof or cut your way through my motorhome to get access to the lock. (I have a dead switch on the ignition so driving doesn't work). So short of a tow truck the locks could be simple suitcase locks and it wouldn't make much difference.
I wonder if you could make a 90 degree key with just the insertion part after the bend and then put a cover over the lock just high enough to fit the key in and then it would be really hard to pick I would think.
I am a retired cop, hence, your video makes me worry a little, but not much, with my order just now of this box. The thing that makes me feel good, is that you are good. Since I do not drive an expensive car I will not attract a good guy like you who would happen to have those tools in their pocket at the moment my vehicle is available. The odds are in my favor, so I will go with it, if I am wrong and lose, I will buy the latest new gun to replace the old. This thinking would apply to hotel workers cleaning my room, very few skilled as you are, at least not enough to change the odds. That is the least likely scenario vs. a bug guy by happenstance sees the box and says oh shit!
Thank you for the video and demonstration. I'm wondering whether this would be harder to pick and open if there were two of these locks on the box, with two different keys, that you would have to use two hands to open? Sort of like turning two keys to launch nuclear weapons. Would that kind of a design make lock picking more difficult?
You can use the impresioning tool just use the pins one at a time with extra bands it will lock so it can be decoded for new key to be cut if needed , can the lock be replaced or is it fixed
Hey LPL I’ll fly to to Vegas 2021 to shot show and I’ll let you show Hornady how to pick their safe. And while we are there we (you ) can pick some special locks.
It seems to be the case that whenever he's picking a tubular lock, almost any pin he is currently trying is binding, which suggests that in general that are more simultaneous bound pins than in linear pinned locks, which seem to involve a bit more "hunting". Maybe it's just because tubular locks often have seven pins, or maybe there's some other reason.
GREAT security box.will it HOLD S AND W 357 WITH A 9"BARREL. OR WOULD YOU HAVE TO MODIFY IT.LIKE CUT THE SIDE OUT.LOL AT LEAST PEOPLE WOULD SEE YOUR WERE CARRYING. 😎😎😎😎😎 GREAT REVIEW.
Ive watched quite a few of your videos now.... is there any lock thats actually worth a damn? Seems they are all prone to the same handfull of different attacks. Might as well just leave the front door open!
All locks and safes are eventually defeatable one way or another. The question is just a matter of how much skill/time/tools required to defeat it vs how much you want to spend. This is actually pretty good for a lockbox safe. Yeah he picked it but it probably would be easier to cut the cable and just take the whole thing, if your worried about securing super valuable stuff from professional locksmiths you should be spending a lot more for a safe.
I know this is a rather old video but I was hoping you can answer a question. Is the lock housing plastic? Can the lock housing be simply defeated with a hammer or a screwdriver? Thank you. Almost every portable gun safe I've seen has a plastic lock housing that you can just pry out of the case with a screwdriver or whack it with a hammer literally defeating it in seconds. I'm having a hard time finding one without that flaw.
That cable is a nice addition. Not quite sure what someone would anchor it to inside a house though. Maybe slip the end that locks into the safe through the loop to make a kind of slip knot that can be looped around something really heavy?
I've always wondered what those devil horn looking bits were on a couple of my tension tools, I've never had a reason to pick a tubular lock. Could you use the tubular pick as a tension tool and pick each pin by just pushing it down on the tool until it set?
If you wanted a lock to protect another door lock, may as well get the Drumm Geminy shield. That's how I would protect my more valuable locks. Otherwise, I'd probably buy a wall safe and have a dual custody nfc card system in place. 🤷♂️
Dane Anderson so I got something similar to this from snapsafe . See my channel showing it. It’s not meant to be a quick draw holster. for my needs, only to prevent smash and grabs. There are some really nifty looking quick access boxes out there but not for 10 bucks.
So after a thief cuts your lock cable and takes the box, they'll be able to pick it open instead of drilling it, if they're so inclined. The moral of the story: don't rely on a portable safe to provide much security against a determined thief (or someone with inside knowledge of what you're carrying around).
The whole point is that straight window smashers don’t have many tools besides part of a ceramic spark plug. Prepared thieves with tools will get into most anything.
Hornady needs to add Bluetooth inside the boxes so the original owner can track the locations and include a sound to the phone if it gets opened. Turning the sound off by the owner before opening it would alleviate it going off.
2 questions please…would you say the AVERAGE run of the mill burglar will see this, maybe try to pry it open, then leave because it’d take too much of their time? Or? And have you tried or seen the V-Line gun safes? They don’t have the tubular locks or electronics they just have 5 push buttons. This one video shows people trying to strong-arm open it, but no one tried to “pick” it. I was wondering because it really did appear tough to open, at least by brute force. Thanks!
The time and energy it takes to steal and/or break in a lockbox, house, etc., could be used to learn something to be positive and creative and make life much better for oneself and others. The more criminals aka ignorant, evil gets, the more smarter and wiser positive people become.
Most people would want to steal your lock in this Hornady pistol box because they would assume that there would be a gun in there. However, once they found a lock, they might return it to you.
Were you watching Inception when you decided to lock up your locks within a lock box? Does it have holes in the back so I could screw it to something, or would I have to drill my own?
Lpl says it is easy. Means normal guys might take all day to get it. I would cut anchor and take box home and open it with crowbar to defeat it. Otoh, I would imagine that lock is plenty good enough to prevent kids at home from getting to a gun for parents to use this. Sometimes cost vs safety is dependent on use case.
The design has improved Hornady Rapid Safe with a recessed barrel lock making use of the tension tool inoperable as the lock is too low to reach and pins are trickier. I have been trying to open as the cord that powers the keypad has become disengaged. The key missing. This is my personal handgun safe. Working with tools you have used though no result yet. Welcome suggestions or video Update: I successfully picked lock without damage using barrel lock tool.
If you plan to do more than satisfy your curiosity, then you probably want some quality picks... not the stuff on Amazon. Peterson, Southord Max, Sparrows, MadBob, Praxis, etc are all good options.
lol, I once found a brand new (with some company logo) $173.00 duffel bag 4' long with ball bearing wheels at the local good will for $3.99... Also bought a brand new cheap ol' drone with everything included for $3.99,lol...works great too.
So getting ready to go to the gun range had the key on the box on the table go to the garage come back and my cat decided to hide the key can't find it that's why I am here lol

So what is your recommendation for a good quality small safe like this to use at home, a car or traveling?
Abloy makes cam locks too. Just replace the tubular lock with one of those and this would be a good lock box.
Fair point, but this requires a specialized core.
It seems to be the case that whenever he's picking a tubular lock, almost any pin he is currently trying is binding, which suggests that in general that are more simultaneous bound pins than in linear pinned locks, which seem to involve a bit more "hunting". Maybe it's just because tubular locks often have seven pins, or maybe there's some other reason.
I bought the Hornady RFID clock safe, was going to ask you to review that one but I’m guessing the backside of the box works just like this lock

That cable is a nice addition. Not quite sure what someone would anchor it to inside a house though. Maybe slip the end that locks into the safe through the loop to make a kind of slip knot that can be looped around something really heavy?
Anything to make it awkward... a large piece of furniture comes to mind... or an eyebolt could work.
Well, they're made for cars, so......
where can i get that tensiontool?
great videos and keep em comming
I was looking at the Hornady RAPiD safe night guard. I was just curious what your thoughts were on this.
I picked my first lock with a filed down screwdriver and Fluke TP40 probe, lol. I ended up starting at 1 o'clock position and going clockwise.
I've always wondered what those devil horn looking bits were on a couple of my tension tools, I've never had a reason to pick a tubular lock. Could you use the tubular pick as a tension tool and pick each pin by just pushing it down on the tool until it set?
Using the impressioning tool to SPP is possible, but not very easy or reliable IMO.
Once you've picked it, will the pins then be in a position to impression them?
What would be a good lock upgrade for this box?
How strong is the cable? Can a pair of big pliers cut it through ?
Doesn't the round key make it a tad slower to open up compared to a reg key???
A lock within a lock... *Inception's theme intesifies*
What kind of tool are you tensioning with? It seems like a warded pick/tubular tensioning tool. Who makes it?
William Noblett same question? Did you figure out out?
It's similar to the Mantis and Goat tension wrenches from Sparrows, but with the warded lock things on each end. Weird.
If you wanted a lock to protect another door lock, may as well get the Drumm Geminy shield. That's how I would protect my more valuable locks. Otherwise, I'd probably buy a wall safe and have a dual custody nfc card system in place. 🤷♂️
What kind of lock pick is that? I just locked my keys in my safe I got for Christmas. Hard to buy the pick on Amazon if I don’t know what it is lol
I'm in the market for a gun box to keep in my vehicle. What would you suggest?

Does it have holes in the back so I could screw it to something, or would I have to drill my own?
hmmm... not sure about the holes. I'd have to check. If not... drill some./
Lpl says it is easy. Means normal guys might take all day to get it. I would cut anchor and take box home and open it with crowbar to defeat it.
Otoh, I would imagine that lock is plenty good enough to prevent kids at home from getting to a gun for parents to use this. Sometimes cost vs safety is dependent on use case.
Ok will this work on the Hornady rapid ar gun safe? The lock looks the same. I lost my key and cant open it now
Source for the tension tool? I think I have one with one side, but not two like that one.

The design has improved Hornady Rapid Safe with a recessed barrel lock making use of the tension tool inoperable as the lock is too low to reach and pins are trickier. I have been trying to open as the cord that powers the keypad has become disengaged. The key missing. This is my personal handgun safe. Working with tools you have used though no result yet. Welcome suggestions or video
Update: I successfully picked lock without damage using barrel lock tool.
This model safe was also discontinued and replaced with a newer model, the 98153
Anyone know what tools these are that he used? I locked my Glock in this box and can’t find the keys
I recently got this for 25 bucks totally worth it. Its not perfecr but it does stop minor experienced theifs
Darn single sided jiggler, nothing is safe!
So no gun box in existence is secure at all?
Hey LPL , I want to get into lockpicking as a hobby. are there any certain starter kits that you recommend or will a cheap kit off Amazon work fine ?
AlphaDemon Try Sparrows lock pick kits.
If you plan to do more than satisfy your curiosity, then you probably want some quality picks... not the stuff on Amazon. Peterson, Southord Max, Sparrows, MadBob, Praxis, etc are all good options.
Ill look into those brands, thank you both :)
Steal your locks - precious.
Now listed as the "Hornady Alpha Elite Pistol Safe Steel". Same design. New name. Have not looked at the lock in person.
What's the name of this kind of keys ?
That’s illegal. A lock inside of a lock?! You’re gonna pay a big fine.
Decent
No one would be picking that if it was locked in /cabled in my car - in my small town
oh baby
Nice Abloy padlock I bet that would've cost an arm and a leg
They are not cheap... but I am a bargain hunter also.
I didn't think it was cheap particularly since the shackles are shrouded
lol, I once found a brand new (with some company logo) $173.00 duffel bag 4' long with ball bearing wheels at the local good will for $3.99... Also bought a brand new cheap ol' drone with everything included for $3.99,lol...works great too.
So getting ready to go to the gun range had the key on the box on the table go to the garage come back and my cat decided to hide the key can't find it that's why I am here lol
Anyone knows what the parts used in this video are called and where they are available ?
