Thank you for your attention and sharing, we will continue to improve and do better. This is indeed the best Christmas gift we have received so far for us.😆
As a lock picker myself, the other core you have in the cheaper model (The crescent shaped keyway one) is better than this one as it is driverless and uses a sidebar, and is also very difficult to tension. That core in this model with the nightlatch would be a great lock. Also, for a future model since all of these are Chinese cores, you might try one of the more secure Chinese cores such as the Yuema, Bosidun, Meilibao free spinning slider cores, the Omellow R3 core, Mansion pin blocker core, or the new Meilibao sidebar check cylinder.
well - consider yourself to get an inrush of orders - a "non-negative" review from LPL is often considered STONX for the lock maker just because HE was able to open it that quickly doesn'T mean anyone is - I'm sure it takes quite some skills to do so
I hope that while the latch is engaged the door won't open from the inside either - otherwise there's a risk of you "locking" yourself out even with the key.
@@Blake_StoneI would think for safety reasons (emergency exit), you’d want it to be able to open from the inside either way. Plus, how could you lock yourself out if you can’t engage the deadbolt from the outside?
@@nhatmanduPresumably you could engage the switch while the door is open, then close it behind you(this would only work to keep it *unlocked*, however). That said, the previous comment still doesn't make sense with this scenario, unless you & I are missing a Key detail. 🤔 EDIT: D'oh! Of course! Climb out the window.
@@lockpickinglawyer also said that people experienced with dimple core picking wouldn't have too much trouble picking it open. Still, best lock that i've actually seen you reviewing.
@@BoilerRoomRadio he says at the end of the video he couldn't upgrade the core to something with more security, so I would guess not. Unless I misheard/misunderstood him. But still seems like a decent lock
The most interesting thing to me about this lock, is that you can literally take everything apart. No press crimpings to hold stuff together. You have snap rings, and screws. To me this is awesome as its completely deconstructable without true destruction. One could, theoretically, come up with their own internals and manufacture their own components to truly modify this thing. Would love to see more manufactures go this direction, but... alas we'll probably never see it.
realistically any half way decent lock should be built that way. just look at all the schlage locks minus S-line which has plastic parts and they were shit
true but there's a reason in this particular industry they keep so oppressively to press fits and crimp fastenings: Being able to deconstruct a lock especially from the locked side can be considered a serious security issue or how even a compromise of the integrity of the lock
@@PeterJavi I wouldn't too because although objects can be replaced, maybe I don't have the money to replace them right now, so maybe I find myself back home with no TV, no PC no nothing and no money to buy another one. An also not every object can be replaced, but that depends on how much attachment you do have for a certain object.

@@marcogenovesi8570 As someone with negative IQ I take offense to this. OF COURSE we'll manage to screw it up, it's just what we do for a living you know?
For some reason I like this deadbolt a lot. Never in my life have I ever seen one with a built-in nightlatch like that - it makes it so that even if it DOES get picked, it still won't open!
@@8til826 well seeing has it has to be locked for the function to actually do that and you can't close a door with a locked deadbolt in it that isn't a problem
I noticed the Amazon listing for the E1/E2 version says “Top rated by the Lockpicking Lawyer” in one of the illustrations. The newer version is orderable with either a proprietary Chinese dimple key core or a Schlage compatible 6-pin core. As noted in the Amazon user comments, the easiest way to get extra dimple keys is to order keyed-alike cores directly from China. Each core is supplied with five keys.
@@13FRAMER Easilok has cores listed on their web site. The Schlage compatible cores are option A and dimple key cores are option B. The dimple choice includes three cores and 15 keys.
LPL saying "I've never seen anything like this before" and meaning it in a positive manner is amazing. However designed that lock probably just got a promotion. They're probably partying at Easilok HQ right now, honestly.
The designer probably got fired for blowing the entire marketing department's budget on materials. Fortunately for them, LPL gave them a far better advertisement for free!
Just buy the highest rated Schlage and use 3 to 4 inch screws on the striker plate. Almost no criminals know how to pick a lock and Schlage is very difficult for most people to pick and they are very sturdy against kick in, which is way more important than pick resistance. Criminals are dumb.
I saw an ad for the lock and they featured a screenshot of the video in their ad. Actually it made me a little wary as the ad quality was low that they had taken him out of context but i was happy to see they didn't.
@@thomasolson7447 and you seem to forget that the person doing the unlocking has more expertise than 90% of professional locksmiths who do this as a job.
He eagerly wants to show us how much sturdy stainless steel there is in this simple little deadbolt. (TBH, that one Easilok model there seems to have more stainless steel in it than Master has in their whole product catalog)
At a security conference where he was a speaker, he said he deliberately makes his videos fast and to the point because people have short attention spans and won't stick around for +10 minute long videos, thus making it all that much more difficult to get his message out to the broader public
@@kemicbi Yea, however those of us who have been watching him for a while know that when a video exceeds 3 minutes in length, there's going to be a GOOD reason for it. Either we pull out the popcorn as LPL decimates yet another lock, or we are treated to a rare gem like this where a lock actually garners some praise.
I just watched this video with my wife. You did such a good presentation, that when I asked my wife if she thought purchasing these for our home was a good idea, she immediately responded "Yes!". That is the highest compliment I could give you. Thank you for the video.
Locksmith in Canada here. That looks like the most skookum lock i have ever seen. I have worked with most of the major high security locks up here, and i have never seen something so overbuilt and (what appears to be) well engineered. This knocks it out of the park. I have only seen a single ball bearing in the serviceable part of a lock once, let alone 3. Rarely do you see weather sealing on a deadbolt with no electronics. On top of that, all stainless, and a built in night latch function? I honestly might pick one up to take a closer look, and it may end up on my door.
I honestly would love to see you attempt to pick it with the lock override turned on. Because, honestly, that one feature there if it turns this simple lock into unpickable when someone is home makes it above and beyond anything else
Whoa, that's definitely an impressive build quality for a lock, I'd almost say it's over-engineered. Proper gaskets to cover the hole in the door, doubling-as-tamper-markers, bearings, stainless-steel, night-latch/child-safety-lock :P
@@ozzycommander Mediumlock should be a fake, novelty lock were the cylinder is welded with a block that prevents it from opening fully even when unlocked. Kinda sketchy in build but it's more than serviceable.
Never heard of this company until now. So glad LPL did a detailed review explaining what makes this such a great lock and giving such a well deserved approval. A big win for the company and for consumers looking for a top notch product. Just as impressed with EASILOK responsiveness taking LPL's advice and improving on what is already a great product. Definitely putting this company at the top of the list for my next lock purchase.
Ordered 3 of these in Feb. based on this video and think they're great! LOVE being able to lock it from the outside w/o the key, even if there is an increased risk of locking myself out. The "child lock" switch is a decent compromise on my half-windowed back door where I'd normally put a double-sided deadbolt.
I saw a video on that and looking at the keys it seems only the center pathway of the core has any pins so it probably isn't any more difficult to open.
@@Hartbreak1 the shape of the keyways what's going to make it interesting. The layout will make it extremely challenging to get tension on for all but the best locksmiths.
@@leechowning2712 I have that version and it puts up multiple challenges in terms of picking. The first is that the core turns along with the knob. Second, the only way I have found to tension it is by inserting a narrow traveler hook on one side and pulling up on it. The other challenge has to do with the pins. They give almost no feedback and seem to be serrated. That may be because this type of core usually doesn't use the pins directly to unlock it. Each pin has a few serrations and one wide groove. The key pushes the pins up so that all the wide grooves are lined up, at which point a sidebar can drop into the groove and the core can turn. I can't tell for sure that that's what's going on, because the core is sealed and cannot be gutted, but based on other similar cores that I have gutted, such as an older style Yuema padlock (pre-model 750), and a Baodean door lock core, that is the system which they use and they feel the same to pick.
@@theodorgiosan2570 I am really hoping somebody gets one of them for him. Unfortunately my budget does not cover $100 purchase right the moment or I'd get it for my own house. I remember further back he had a similar key way, but if I remember it actually was a challenge for him.
I bought this lock and absolutely would buy another! It works flawlessly, and in the winter when I need to warm up my truck, I can do so without separating keys and fumbling around because when it's time to leave, I just turn it to securely lock my home. Love the channel!
Nice. The use of ball bearings and stainless steel castings is next level. This will be the next lock I will own for my home. Just the concept of being able to lock your door that easily on the way out is worth the price alone. Now that I see the care and parts used in the production is just icing on the cake
@@creamwobbly Not just the US, Europe (or at least Hungary where I'm from) seems to not have night latches either anymore. Don't know why. I bet they would sell like hotcakes.
@@creamwobbly it's mainly because they aren't made anymore. If it's sturdy, if it's secure, you sell 1000. If it falls apart or is junk, somehow you sell a million. Even grade 2 commercial is garbage, and I sell them daily at our key shop.
@@hamham_6411 Thank you for specifying the country. 'This is how things are in Europe' comments drive me nuts, especially when I live in a European country (the UK) and have never seen or heard of what they are talking about.
NO! NO! NO! Many people say I am sick in the head. NOOOO!!!! I don't believe them. But there are so many people commenting this stuff on my videos, that I have 1% doubt. So I have to ask you right now: Do you think I am sick in the head? Thanks for helping, my dear z
Another comment: the "night latch" feature makes it worth buying! No matter how good you are at picking, if the latch is set-the keys won't open it & you can be Damn sure you can't pick it open either!
It it really. I wish this guy would have tried picking it with that night latch enabled, then MAYBE I'd consider getting one. However if I leave my home and (obviously) don't have it enabled...my home is completely vulnerable, so still in the end..it's NOT worth getting.
As Bill said, if the KEY will not open it in the latched position, picking would not either since picking just simulates the operation of the proper key. Databyter
@@ClaudiuTudoras Your parents were more proactive about security than you are. It says a lot about the time and place you live in now to need to rely only on such lax security. Be glad of this fact.
@@gdxd7956 not everything made there is crap. You can tell the good stuff because there are chinese knock-offs. Of chinese products. Yeah, like they care about intellectual property.
It's an amazingly made lock, for a grade 3 lock. Common residential. All while being priced at around grade 2, while not being as secure as it. not sure why anyone whould buy this
Now if Easilok is smart, they will reach out and get a recommendation from the Lock Picking Lawyer for the core that he has in mind to make this a high security deadbolt
If I may take the liberty: I want to remark, that this lock is one of the few assemblies, that can be disassembled using one screwdriver that fits all screws. A very rare thing in today's tech world, where you usually need multiple different types of screwdrivers due to the different screws used everywhere.
I was impressed by this as well, and even more so because they're all pretty large screws. The very tiny Phillips head screws that tend to come with small appliances or electronics easily strip, making them more difficult to take in and out after many years of service. Screws this size will probably be good to use for many years to come without risk of stripping, and if they're made of the same stainless steel as the housing, unlikely to rust as well.
Been a locksmith for 10 years. To disasemble a lock you never need more than 2 types of screw drivers. That's not something this lock excells at, it's just standardization for the entire industry. Fact is you either need a philips 2 or a robertson 2. Schlage will very rarely need a torx, and shit made from 20 years ago or further will amost all need a flat head. I could go around with those 4 tools and be able to disassemble literally every single lock made in the last 10 years
I think this lock also holds the record for the most screws. LOL....I've been a locksmith and have managed a locksmith supply warehouse in 4 different cities over 20 years and have never seen such a classy deadbolt. I've been out of it for a couple years but I do remember the Easilock name.
The whole time I'm running the bill of labor to assemble this thing. I'm gonna guess that a a fair amount of it would be hand assembled. Hope they are really padding their overhead.
@@notsam498 Same here. Probably not insignificant BOM cost either, with ball bearings and several SS castings. I don't know what it retails for, but I would be surprised if it was cheap.
@@mr_gerber one would hope they bring down the part count in future version. It's nice to see all that attention to detail and craftsmanship though. Increased parts (especially fasteners) is driving up potential for failure or misassembly.
Honestly I feel like a dimple lock gives pretty decent protection, it's so different from things like quicksets or Schlage, that it's gonna stop waaaaaay more people. So unless LPL is breaking into my house, idk it just seems like it's a really good choice.
@@gemnfert After checking online, all I could find was Amazon, which was out of stock, and one other company that listed it, but also out of stock. The other company showed a price of $9.99! Maybe LPL could show us how to rig a cheap lock to do the same thing?
OMG this is the first time I ever encountered LPL throwing out compliments like this crazy. I don’t pick locks, nor do I need any lock, but I am gonna have to buy this 😍😍😍
I'd say go for it. The general construction, from using stainless steel, to the bearings and even the directions on the lock show a level of care not seen often. They purposely designed the lock to be easy to use with neat features. While, it's unfortunate about the core, I think for the average person it should be fine. If that is an issue for you, then I'd suggest simply waiting until the company either improves the core or allows you to swap your own into it. It might help if you send them an email asking for that feature to he added.
On Amazon they're actually only between $70 and $90 depending on the lock set, and considering the material that he showed inside is much more durable I would definitively consider it.
Al things considered, I’m really impressed and as a consumer I would much rather have a deadbolt lock that is simply well built rather than pick resistant. Since if someone REALLY wanted to get into your house they would just use a window rather than spending time picking a lock. As long as the lock can’t be super easily opened with a low skill attack or easily bypassed I’d be happy.
What do you gain from the fact is built in such good quality, if it doesn't increase security? It's not like normal locks break apart or anything. Honestly, for me this screams it's overengineered.
Wow. I hope Easilok sees this as it is ever so rare that the LPL has something genuinely great to say about a lock. It's easy to see how excited the LPL got with this lock. 🔐
My first thought was "That would be so convenient, especially in the winter, not having to dig my keys out of my pocket when I leave home! Too bad they don't make a higher security version". My second thought was "This would make it super easy to lock yourself out of the house since you don't need the key to lock it from the outside..."
@@petermuller7687 I was thinking the same thing :D. I now always check twice I have my keys on me, having once locked my self out and having had to literally MacGyver a pole and hook to 'fish' my keys, through the letterbox, from the hallstand 15 feet away :lol:.
So, if it's in the position where it can't be unlocked with a key, does that mean it can't be picked as well? If so, this is an amazing lock! Also, I'd like to see how it prevents the key from unlocking it, like, does it somehow stop the pins from moving? Very cool design
I think we've seen enough locks give up with a simple rubbet mallet bonk or a thin blade inserted into the mechanism to realize that even a keyless lock is pickable if you know how.
I was going to say "no it doesn't", then I remembered most of the bearings in a cheap small car like a Corolla are roller bearings. But still, just the gearbox in your Corolla has far more ball bearings than this lock.
As a carpenter since the 70s I have installed, replaced and repaired a lot of locks, commercial and residential and I too have never seen a deadbolt so well constructed. Only drawback as you point out it doesn't share the lock body with knowen high security ones. I would buy this lock just the same. Cheers 🇨🇦
@@pepperpepperpepper stainless is hard and there is the same two bolts all locks have holding the 2 sides together so maybe. But an attack entry doesn't care about the lock they're coming in lock or no lock. Stealth entry requires picking and no one has that solved yet.
Appreciate the video! I went to check this out based on the comments LPL made and found a consistent issue with others reporting the inside knob loosening over time and continued use. Going to look for a different deadbolt
Thanks for the video. I recently purchased a new home and I picked up a set of 4 Easiloks in black because of watching this video. I love them. Everyone asks about them. I haven't tried to pick them yet and since I am new to picking, I might not ever be able too. But, it's nice to know I have a quality product on my doors. Cheers.
If Easilok just made the cylinder replaceable, they could keep its current price point at be a very good and I dare say easy lock to customize with whatever security level you require.
It looks like the bible on the KiK needs to be wide to prevent it from moving in the slot. The only KiK I know of that's wide is the Lockwood V7. And that's no longer made. It might even be too wide. You could probably shim a more standard KiK but it would probably require some soldering to keep it in place.
The company offers the same locking mechanism with different cores. There is a "Home entry" vs "Storefront entry" products page with a wide variety of cores and features for enthusiasts, comparatively more expensive than this lowest level security deadbolt. If you don't like the core get one of the more standardized core locks they sell.(expensive) This lock is amazing for the price it is at for the specified use case of easier home entry as it is marketed to elderly, kids and adults that want to be cheap. EDIT: they offer the same lock in a SC keyway model. you have to customize it with them but are able to change the biting later on but not the core.
That really is an impressive design! My main interest in the channel is the engineering and design, and the weird and wonderful things people come up with, so this lock, a low-security, not-too-expensive lock at that, was really pleasing to see on the channel! Thanks!
@David Hsiang hi! Is there any chance to get an electronic lock from you? I love the quality of this lock, but I'm actually spoiled by not having to carry keys for the last 20 years. I have keyless entry on my car and got a digital keypad on my home so I didn't have to worry about my 2 kids losing their key at school, and now I'm interested in a non-physical key (IR or RF transmitter used in conjunction with an RFID) that I will make myself (so that no one else knows exactly how it works) so a motorized lock/unlock mechanism on the inside would be so awesome!!! It could be battery-powered for a commercial product you sell.
@@davidjones8942 yes of course we are sdjusting the APP of our e-lock, our e-lock is quite special from others, i can send you a earlier view by email. my email is on our website.
Looked for it on Amazon and it seems like it's quite a new lock from a relatively small company. How'd you find this gem? Viewer recommendation? I guess the downside is the low security core or cylinder that can't be replaced.
I'm just going to live happily with the fact that a dimple lock is lesser known, so fewer criminals will be able to successfully open it. I mean, considering that I've never been broken into in my 33 years, I'm not expecting more than 2 attempts in my lifetime, and the chances of either of them knowing how to deal with a dimple lock are low enough to satisfy me.
@@CrapE_DM We had one guy "Break" in while I was at work(Night shift). Luckily I work armed Patrol and came home when I got a call of a weird "Snoring" noise coming from the laundry room. Found a drunk guy in our laundry room passed out. Family decided NOT to lock the door. The worst Lock is one that is not used..... Needless to say I gave them an intense ass chewing.
Well the fact that you can use the switch on the inside to act a nightlock, means it is unpickable at night, when most intruders would strike anyway. But a better cylinder is obviously a solid way for them to improve
I don't think they're publicly traded. Parent company AISecure, which owns A-Grade Lock Company (apparently their factory in Asia) which produces this lock.
Someone will find this in an old parts' bin in 2121 and complain that "they don't make things as well today as they used to in 2021". It's nice to see good engineering and to know that it still exists among the masses of disposable stuff.
FWIW, it does look like they offer an SC1 keyway. I'm guessing standard security pins could be added for additional security. It would also be nice if your existing door knob uses the SC1 keyway.
@LockPickingLawyer Could you confirm this? It seems like a reasonable assumption, but it would be nice to have solid confirmation that the pins are easily swapped with something standard.
If you want the lock to match an existing key you own they also offer that service on their website you just have to send them a copy of your key. Even if you cannot swap pins on your own you still have other options.
With my seizures that I have I have some days where everything is just so hard to watch and give me a headache or I can't focus but I love watching your videos. You have a calming voice and the editing is done so well so that the metal clanking together isn't louder than everything else

I've taken apart a goodly number of locks working at a hardware store that does rekeying... I've never seen ball bearings in a lock before, this thing is amazing, and I kind of want one on everything now XD
It’s interesting to categorize the wafer lock as low security, while it may be simple to pick, I don’t know if the average thief would know how to pick it.
Yeah, I've picked a fair number of locks but I don't know what I'd even do if I encountered a dimple lock. Call a locksmith I guess? Because my ass ain't getting it open any time soon
@@huw3851 Almost nobody knows how to pick a lock as far as burglars. I've been doing home improvements and repairs for over 20 years and been called to secure a home after a break-in countless times. In every instance the door was opened by force, and usually by kick in and secondly by crowbar. Most people who know how to do it our legitimate law-abiding citizens who have spent a lot of time training and buying tools to pick locks, people like the lock-picking lawyer. Criminals tend to be too lazy to learn this craft. They know how to break the door frame though. All these burglars with their expert lock picking kits is television and movies. Lock picking burglars must exist but they must be extremely rare. How many people have you personally talked to who had their deadbolt lock picked by a burglar? I've personally never seen it and I'm pretty old. Most locksmiths aren't even that good at it. I know of at least one viewer of this channel who called a locksmith because he didn't have the key to his bike lock. The professional locksmith he called had to use an angle grinder and cut the lock off.
Since the outside of the lock has an octagonal head, I would really be curious to see whether that makes it vulnerable to a good old fashioned pipe wrench and a little bit of torque. What would break first under that kind of pressure, the pins or the outside of the lock?
@@professionalcommenter They know about that threat. Most external deadbolts have a tapered design like a cone for that very reason. Wrenches slip right off. I'm not sure the vulnerability of getting it to spin on this lock, but it looks like a viable means of attack.
@@bfeezey Well if you do that, there's also the Hooligan tool used by Russian firefighters and lifesavers, which is a hydraulic reverse scissors basically. This thing can open almost any security door short of actual safe doors.

Thank you for your attention and sharing, we will continue to improve and do better. This is indeed the best Christmas gift we have received so far for us.😆
As a lock picker myself, the other core you have in the cheaper model (The crescent shaped keyway one) is better than this one as it is driverless and uses a sidebar, and is also very difficult to tension. That core in this model with the nightlatch would be a great lock. Also, for a future model since all of these are Chinese cores, you might try one of the more secure Chinese cores such as the Yuema, Bosidun, Meilibao free spinning slider cores, the Omellow R3 core, Mansion pin blocker core, or the new Meilibao sidebar check cylinder.
I'm far from an expert lock-picker. May I ask what the reasoning for the multiple bearings in this lock? What security advantage was intended?
well - consider yourself to get an inrush of orders - a "non-negative" review from LPL is often considered STONX for the lock maker

I don't blame them! This is practically a glowing review!
The most interesting thing to me about this lock, is that you can literally take everything apart. No press crimpings to hold stuff together. You have snap rings, and screws. To me this is awesome as its completely deconstructable without true destruction. One could, theoretically, come up with their own internals and manufacture their own components to truly modify this thing.

true but there's a reason in this particular industry they keep so oppressively to press fits and crimp fastenings: Being able to deconstruct a lock especially from the locked side can be considered a serious security issue or how even a compromise of the integrity of the lock
If you can make internals you can easily make the externals just as well as they did and probably better

The newer version is orderable with either a proprietary Chinese dimple key core or a Schlage compatible 6-pin core.

That looks like the most skookum lock i have ever seen. I have worked with most of the major high security locks up here, and i have never seen something so overbuilt and (what appears to be) well engineered. This knocks it out of the park. I have only seen a single ball bearing in the serviceable part of a lock once, let alone 3. Rarely do you see weather sealing on a deadbolt with no electronics. On top of that, all stainless, and a built in night latch function? I honestly might pick one up to take a closer look, and it may end up on my door.
And according to him, it's a bargain.
That's the kind of design and craftsmanship i would hope for in anything i buy. You rarely get that nowadays.

Their other model, the one called "Keyless Twist" looks to have a very unique core with the same build. You should review it.
I saw a video on that and looking at the keys it seems only the center pathway of the core has any pins so it probably isn't any more difficult to open.
@@Hartbreak1 the shape of the keyways what's going to make it interesting. The layout will make it extremely challenging to get tension on for all but the best locksmiths.
@@leechowning2712 hmm yeah I would like to see how LPL would approach tension on that keyway.
@@leechowning2712 I have that version and it puts up multiple challenges in terms of picking. The first is that the core turns along with the knob. Second, the only way I have found to tension it is by inserting a narrow traveler hook on one side and pulling up on it. The other challenge has to do with the pins. They give almost no feedback and seem to be serrated. That may be because this type of core usually doesn't use the pins directly to unlock it. Each pin has a few serrations and one wide groove. The key pushes the pins up so that all the wide grooves are lined up, at which point a sidebar can drop into the groove and the core can turn. I can't tell for sure that that's what's going on, because the core is sealed and cannot be gutted, but based on other similar cores that I have gutted, such as an older style Yuema padlock (pre-model 750), and a Baodean door lock core, that is the system which they use and they feel the same to pick.
@@theodorgiosan2570 I am really hoping somebody gets one of them for him. Unfortunately my budget does not cover $100 purchase right the moment or I'd get it for my own house. I remember further back he had a similar key way, but if I remember it actually was a challenge for him.

Nice. The use of ball bearings and stainless steel castings is next level. This will be the next lock I will own for my home.

If I may take the liberty:
I want to remark, that this lock is one of the few assemblies, that can be disassembled using one screwdriver that fits all screws.
A very rare thing in today's tech world, where you usually need multiple different types of screwdrivers due to the different screws used everywhere.
Good point.
I was impressed by this as well, and even more so because they're all pretty large screws. The very tiny Phillips head screws that tend to come with small appliances or electronics easily strip, making them more difficult to take in and out after many years of service. Screws this size will probably be good to use for many years to come without risk of stripping, and if they're made of the same stainless steel as the housing, unlikely to rust as well.
True, whomever thought up this design did an excellent job! Good material, good fitment great assembly.
👍🏻 good point I didn’t notice it, they definitely put a lot of thought into it.
Been a locksmith for 10 years. To disasemble a lock you never need more than 2 types of screw drivers. That's not something this lock excells at, it's just standardization for the entire industry. Fact is you either need a philips 2 or a robertson 2. Schlage will very rarely need a torx, and shit made from 20 years ago or further will amost all need a flat head. I could go around with those 4 tools and be able to disassemble literally every single lock made in the last 10 years

For many uses (not all by a long shot!) the "Notalock" would probably be all that is needed.

I never would have considered buying a hundred dollar deadbolt but after this video I may just go for it.
I'd say go for it. The general construction, from using stainless steel, to the bearings and even the directions on the lock show a level of care not seen often. They purposely designed the lock to be easy to use with neat features.
While, it's unfortunate about the core, I think for the average person it should be fine. If that is an issue for you, then I'd suggest simply waiting until the company either improves the core or allows you to swap your own into it.
It might help if you send them an email asking for that feature to he added.
I honestly expected it to be more than $100
On Amazon they're actually only between $70 and $90 depending on the lock set, and considering the material that he showed inside is much more durable I would definitively consider it.
How does it stand up to a pipe wrench?
@@beru58 This is why he called it a low security deadbolt. I'd imagine with enough torque you could damage many of the internals.

“This lock is really well made.”

Al things considered, I’m really impressed and as a consumer I would much rather have a deadbolt lock that is simply well built rather than pick resistant.

As long as the lock can’t be super easily opened with a low skill attack or easily bypassed I’d be happy.
Took LPL 30+ seconds, which is effectively unpickable.
ln this case the old cliche', "Locks are for honest people" is entirely correct.

That's where the low pick resistance comes in... it's a feature not a bug

Going by the detail on the castings, they used metal injection molding. This would be a good use case for it.
Love to see a review of their updated core, and how it compares to its direct competition in the Mul-T-lock line.
So, if it's in the position where it can't be unlocked with a key, does that mean it can't be picked as well? If so, this is an amazing lock! Also, I'd like to see how it prevents the key from unlocking it, like, does it somehow stop the pins from moving? Very cool design
Probably physically prevents the locking mechanism from turning. At that point it doesn't matter what the pins are doing if the core can't turn anyway

If Easilok just made the cylinder replaceable, they could keep its current price point at be a very good and I dare say easy lock to customize with whatever security level you require.
It looks like the bible on the KiK needs to be wide to prevent it from moving in the slot. The only KiK I know of that's wide is the Lockwood V7. And that's no longer made. It might even be too wide. You could probably shim a more standard KiK but it would probably require some soldering to keep it in place.
The company offers the same locking mechanism with different cores. There is a "Home entry" vs "Storefront entry" products page with a wide variety of cores and features for enthusiasts, comparatively more expensive than this lowest level security deadbolt. If you don't like the core get one of the more standardized core locks they sell.(expensive) This lock is amazing for the price it is at for the specified use case of easier home entry as it is marketed to elderly, kids and adults that want to be cheap.
EDIT: they offer the same lock in a SC keyway model. you have to customize it with them but are able to change the biting later on but not the core.

I have keyless entry on my car and got a digital keypad on my home so I didn't have to worry about my 2 kids losing their key at school, and now I'm interested in a non-physical key (IR or RF transmitter used in conjunction with an RFID) that I will make myself (so that no one else knows exactly how it works) so a motorized lock/unlock mechanism on the inside would be so awesome!!! It could be battery-powered for a commercial product you sell.
@@davidjones8942 yes of course we are sdjusting the APP of our e-lock, our e-lock is quite special from others, i can send you a earlier view by email. my email is on our website.
That is AMAZING build quality!
Looked for it on Amazon and it seems like it's quite a new lock from a relatively small company.
How'd you find this gem? Viewer recommendation?
I guess the downside is the low security core or cylinder that can't be replaced.
Hopefully they take this to release a newer version, if their sales are good :)
I'm just going to live happily with the fact that a dimple lock is lesser known, so fewer criminals will be able to successfully open it. I mean, considering that I've never been broken into in my 33 years, I'm not expecting more than 2 attempts in my lifetime, and the chances of either of them knowing how to deal with a dimple lock are low enough to satisfy me.
@@CrapE_DM We had one guy "Break" in while I was at work(Night shift). Luckily I work armed Patrol and came home when I got a call of a weird "Snoring" noise coming from the laundry room. Found a drunk guy in our laundry room passed out. Family decided NOT to lock the door. The worst Lock is one that is not used..... Needless to say I gave them an intense ass chewing.
Well the fact that you can use the switch on the inside to act a nightlock, means it is unpickable at night, when most intruders would strike anyway. But a better cylinder is obviously a solid way for them to improve
He found it by sorting the Locks category on Amazon by New.
When LPL says he really likes something, the world pays attention. Quick buy stock in easilok!
I don't think they're publicly traded. Parent company AISecure, which owns A-Grade Lock Company (apparently their factory in Asia) which produces this lock.
lol just made a comment about buying their stock too :P
You have taught me how to to pick and I love it I teach myself more everyday thankyou
Thank you. This is very informative and I've saved this for the future.
Someone will find this in an old parts' bin in 2121 and complain that "they don't make things as well today as they used to in 2021". It's nice to see good engineering and to know that it still exists among the masses of disposable stuff.
FWIW, it does look like they offer an SC1 keyway. I'm guessing standard security pins could be added for additional security. It would also be nice if your existing door knob uses the SC1 keyway.
@LockPickingLawyer Could you confirm this? It seems like a reasonable assumption, but it would be nice to have solid confirmation that the pins are easily swapped with something standard.
Good to know!
If you want the lock to match an existing key you own they also offer that service on their website you just have to send them a copy of your key. Even if you cannot swap pins on your own you still have other options.
@@DoctorDanieI *sends them an Abus key with an evil laugh
With my seizures that I have I have some days where everything is just so hard to watch and give me a headache or I can't focus but I love watching your videos. You have a calming voice and the editing is done so well so that the metal clanking together isn't louder than everything else
I am sorry to hear that .Just please take care of yourself and get well soon .❤
Just purchased and installed two of these locks. Very nice !!!
Easilok shares skyrocketing!

I'm very surprised the lock companies haven't started printing "Eez LPL Resistant" on their lock packaging or "Has an LPL Ingress rating of .0025". 🤓
He's not only "Lock Picking", he's also "Lawyer".
He probably knows what "copyright" is and how to protect it.
they usually put the video on their website or product page
OMG @ the 2 mentalities above that didn't get the joke. 😆😂🤣
Most lock manufacturers would not want to print their LPL rating, lol.
I learned how to pick locks with primitive tools as a kid, for my own stuff and pleasure. Used to make picks from the flat metal sweepers that fell off the city street sweeper machine. I love this channel !!
I did the same when I was a kid after seeing Terminator 2 !!!!! For a long I wondered where those metal piece came from!
I don't need Deadbolt but after watching this video I think I want this deadbolt. its extremely rare to see quality product nowadays...
I've taken apart a goodly number of locks working at a hardware store that does rekeying... I've never seen ball bearings in a lock before, this thing is amazing, and I kind of want one on everything now XD
I really like that "night switch" on the inside to prevent it from opening like that. Pretty neat feature.
Just seems like a recipe for getting yourself locked out
Thank you LPL I think the build quality is good enough for colder weather and easy enough to use for my low security application.
Thank you .We will keep go on to do better .😁
@@avalu3477 Thank you. It's nice to see a company show interest in reviews like this and customers comments.
You just gave them another customer! Thanks for this review.
It’s interesting to categorize the wafer lock as low security, while it may be simple to pick, I don’t know if the average thief would know how to pick it.
Agreed, the framing in LPL videos often assesses pick resistance in locksport terms not crime terms!
@@Mural locksport is such a great term
Yeah, I've picked a fair number of locks but I don't know what I'd even do if I encountered a dimple lock. Call a locksmith I guess? Because my ass ain't getting it open any time soon
They would after watching this video. It's actually quite worrisome how quickly this guy opens locks most of us rely on.
@@huw3851 Almost nobody knows how to pick a lock as far as burglars. I've been doing home improvements and repairs for over 20 years and been called to secure a home after a break-in countless times. In every instance the door was opened by force, and usually by kick in and secondly by crowbar. Most people who know how to do it our legitimate law-abiding citizens who have spent a lot of time training and buying tools to pick locks, people like the lock-picking lawyer. Criminals tend to be too lazy to learn this craft. They know how to break the door frame though.
All these burglars with their expert lock picking kits is television and movies. Lock picking burglars must exist but they must be extremely rare. How many people have you personally talked to who had their deadbolt lock picked by a burglar? I've personally never seen it and I'm pretty old. Most locksmiths aren't even that good at it.
I know of at least one viewer of this channel who called a locksmith because he didn't have the key to his bike lock. The professional locksmith he called had to use an angle grinder and cut the lock off.
Since the outside of the lock has an octagonal head, I would really be curious to see whether that makes it vulnerable to a good old fashioned pipe wrench and a little bit of torque. What would break first under that kind of pressure, the pins or the outside of the lock?
I bet the company will get on that immediately after this came out.
@@professionalcommenter They know about that threat. Most external deadbolts have a tapered design like a cone for that very reason. Wrenches slip right off. I'm not sure the vulnerability of getting it to spin on this lock, but it looks like a viable means of attack.
legit concern
@@sundaynightdrunk *Laughs in vice-grip
@@bfeezey Well if you do that, there's also the Hooligan tool used by Russian firefighters and lifesavers, which is a hydraulic reverse scissors basically. This thing can open almost any security door short of actual safe doors.
I love videos that show us the good quality stuff for reasonable prices
I love the function to just disable to external part. That's so simple yet so ingenious.
Wow. Lpl said something good about a lock? It's a Christmas miracle.
And on this day Easy Lock got huge Christmas bonus.
