That's a quite nice set of locks and core sets. Affordable locks, standardized cores and the cherry is the replacement cores package to cut down the needed keys when using multiple locks on the same building or vehicle. Nice move, Paclock.
It is about time somebody steps up, and it will be interesting to see if this is all Home Depots. Around here, it is Master Master everywhere, aside from ace and uhaul selling their own brands, and then the cheap chinese no name knockoffs. Walk mart has some Brinks, and of course reese, but unless you hit up locksmiths themselves, Masters are what you will find everywhere. It is sad that nobody has realized this prior, and I hope Home Depot has good luck with sales. Cuz if they don't the bean counters will stifle it and then nobody will pick up higher security locks. Let's hope HD doesn't price themselves out of the market!
Great design there. When I first saw the interchangeable core setup on BB's channel I thought surely people would have pins springing all over in no time if they've never done a core swap before. Clearly they thought of that with a clever yet serviceable design.
That's mainly because he's an expert picker who's done it for a long time. 30 seconds to a few minutes for him would be an eternity for anyone else. In a nutshell: novice lockpickers (including most thieves) won't be picking these open.
That's kind of what I thought. It seemed like he was having to go back and redo parts of it, too -- which, if you're not already familiar and experienced with whatever mechanisms are tripping you up, that would probably be the end of a picking attempt right there.
@@daniell6610 If you do exactly what he did, you would have it open in the same amount of time. All you have to do is learn it. The only reason most people can't do it is most people don't bother learning any skills in general, other than scrolling their fb feed in their spare time. Yes, he's done it a long time, so he can pick any lock. But it doesn't take a long time to learn how to pick one lock, regardless of the lock.
@@otallono Imagine trying to do this in the 'wild' where you could have to bend at an uncomfortable angle and there's a chance somebody could see you. If it won't open up quickly, that's usually the end of any picking attempts.
Most Excellent -- Super job by PacLock to get quality locks out to the mass market. I note using a normal angle grinder blade on aluminum can clog up the cutting wheel and get you nowhere fast.
I know it seems discouraging when he so quickly picks through all those security pins, but i would guess it’s too expensive to take the next step with these locks and add a side bar with finger pins or something of that sort. Definitely a grade above masterlock’s offerings.
Gotta think about your audience though. I mean its home depot and its probably hard to even sell these $30-40 padlocks. You'd probably have to break $50 to get those additional features and its unlikely people at Home depot want to pay that much when they're looking at the $10 masterlock.....
He's really, really good. Easily top few percent of all lock picks. If he makes it look reasonably easy, then it's going to be a challenge for everybody else, and a nightmare for street punks.
@@LatitudeSky When you consider that he has skill for not only pin-tumbler locks, but also dimple locks, slider locks, disk detainer cores, lever locks etc, he's in a tiny fraction of a percent of pickers in terms of skill. Not only that but he won a lockpicking competition (speed test on pin-tumbler locks) by a very wide margin.
@@satorudo Like i told one guy Contractors will like these to protect their tools These were not really designed all that much with the home owners as the major consumers from the looks of things. I like the ones for like Container trailer/ Semi Trailer door handles. I would of loved something like this when i use to haul freight into LA and Chicago few times as i've gone to check end i've come back out found the lock on the ground security seal broken and door open. So don't be such a Debbie downer. Just cause you shell the money out for a good lock don't mean others won't.
Although I understand that good quality costs money. I have a strong feeling that based on what I see at Home Depot as far as customers go. Most people are cheap. Looking for the best bang for the lowest cost. So a majority of people are still going to buy the 10 dollar master lock. You will continue to see them sitting on your shelves because of the price point. A vast majority of people will not shell out 40 dollars for a padlock. This being said knowing how shelf real estate works in stores. Items in stores are not there for static displays either they sell or they dont. If they dont sell they are gone.
@@shawnr771 true but a lot of Contractors also go to Home Depot and if they can get a good hi end lock for a good price which these are they will sell just fine. Already talked to three contractors that have the rotating trailer latches for their trailer they like what they saw and are buying them to many of them have had the shackles cut and everything in the trailer stolen. One of them has the sidedoor too and is getting puck lock with hasp. as for his ladders he never has had anyone try to steal the ladders and hes just has them bungee corded on. So that other lock may not be a big seller at least not in this area. Myself i think i should get a Commission for selling the locks LOL
@@shawnr771 I come from the pandemic infested future. I just picked up the 2A myself. The thin layer of dust seems to indicate that they’ve been there awhile. I sometimes take my camera to work to use afterward, so a decent lock for the locker is nice. The features of locks are difficult to quantify for end users, as most are not able to thoroughly test said features for themselves and accurately weigh the value. They really only have the marketing to go by. When two packages say the same thing, the only differentiating factors then are price and brand. It’s no wonder then, that people go with the lower cost option.
Home Depot doesn't deserve your business. In fact, they are currently being boycotted. The owner is a scumbag. Also, the lock didn't look very secure, considering LPL got into it in probably less than a minute.
After binge-watching a bunch of these videos by LPL and seeing the ease and rapidity with which he opens them, I can't help but remember what my father told me when I bought my first house: "Locks are only there to keep out honest people."
You’d think The Home Depot would have chosen to have the locks anodized Orange. If you were to ask “which big box construction supply store has a new line of locks?” I guarantee you that 4-out-of-5 dentists would say “Lowes.”🤷🏻♂️
Well thought out product design by the Pacific Lock Company & at the same time, product presentation is very aesthetic as well. What I find particularly attractive about this brand is how they made certain parts universal across their product offering, allowing the end-user or consumer to semi-customize their locks as part of an integrated locking system.
Exactly. and since these are probably left out on jobsites unattended at night, plenty of time to scratch one, apply gallium, and come back later. and since they're bright blue, it would be fairly easy to identify who's using them.
@@lockpickinglawyer Oh, you're definitely right about that. The real world circumstances would have to be very specific, but it's a kind of funny vector to see in the premium lock that a sneeze-and-you've-picked-it $5 Master isn't susceptible to. Also, good UA-cam content. (Your previous gallium video is one of my favorites.)
Not particularly practical. Gotta damage the oxide layer, put the gallium someplace it won't just roll off, and then wait a few hours. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has tried it, but I sincerely doubt anyone has done such an attack successfully in the wild and under duress.
A very intriguing design for a regular pin tumbler lock. I mean it didn't put up all too much of a fight, but still nice to see that they had most of the concepts down. Something many lock manufacturers (Master lock) have yet even do...

I just hate that Home Depot is the one selling them. I loathe Home Depot and will never set foot in another one again. Liars and crooks. I’ll stick with Lowe’s.
PACLOCK PRES. I appreciate you responding. I am glad your product will be online as well. Hopefully you will let it be known to others also. I comment when I can because I have been very disappointed multiple times with how Home Depot has treated me when I have never been treated anything but fairly over 40 years of buying from Lowe’s. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
I don’t know why this is so fascinating to me- and I’m sure I’m not the only one- but it’s really satisfying to watch these videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise and doing so with great video quality.
Thanks for the videos about the PacLock locks. I couldn't find them on the shelves locally but I was able to order them and a keyed-alike pack for reasonable prices. A decent C$40 lock for the same cost as the junk electronic locks you've destroyed here.
I've done construction, property management, remodeling, tenant finish, repossession, etc. for 30 yrs... there's nothing I haven't seen. I love this channel because this guy is the BEST at what he does. I've lost so many fingernails and sprayed myself with so many sparks and busted so many knuckles and broken so many screwdrivers... if only I had these vids to teach me... if only...*sigh*
Good to see a more pick-resistant lock available with customer-serviceable cores. Yakima (car-top, back of car, and other mounting systems) rack systems have been available with keyed-alike packs of cores (up to eight, when I was selling them ten years ago), and they were okay locks, but far from as resistant to picking as the PacLock stuff.
Brilliant product, and smart marketing. They've taken a credible product straight to the most credible and visible reviewers. I'm likely to be a "victim" of this well-executed persuasion!
This is as close as anybody can get to an endorsement. That brand should be proud as hell of themselves. And so should Home Depot for taking this seriously.
I love companies that protect me from making silly mistakes! Seriously, I'm a huge fan of that sort of design philosophy, not a lot of companies focus on things like that.
Sweet! Hope people don't shy away thinking they're aluminum-bodied locks because they aren't made of laminated steel like a lot of retail customers are familiar with in master locks. There's also the matter that people will have to read the package to tell what the locks are made of, it can't be assumed they they are steel
Aluminum? Hmm. Just scratch it between the shackle with a awl to remove the coating and rub some mercury in the scratch. Come back in a day or two and the lock will be the consistency of mashed potatoes.
Bunnings sells good quality Lockwood padlocks, they're kept hidden in the toolshop though,not in the lock isle with the rubbish masters. But would be good for more variety too.
@@dataminetk I know why they are hidden in the tool section..... because people that need to protect their tools on a job site are not going to be willing to buy rubbish. Now if I'm ever looking for a really good lock at Home Depot I know where to look. Thanks for the info!
@@dataminetk See my comment above. Also, I think the reason why they keep the good locks hidden in the tool section is because if they put them in the regular lock section then people won't buy the garbage. This tactic is pretty sad actually.
@@paclockpres.9805 Well I'm definitely rooting for you and your company! I've been following you and I am impressed!

Thanks to you lpl and bb for the great content and reviews. The paclock looks like a good lock and might have to get a set for my dad. 😎👍 keep up the great work despite the naysayers
"looks like you need the keys to get the lock out of the packaging" How about cutting the packaging with a pair of scissors? For real though, keep up the good work! Edit: changed "cutting the lock" to "cutting the packaging". I would be very dissapointed if you could cut the lock with scissors, though.
I'm pretty sure he picked that lock faster then it would have taken me to cut it out of the packaging...... Also yet another example showing how seconds in LPL time are equal to minutes if not far longer on normal person time. Those seem to be damn good locks for the price.
Thanks for the excellent video. It was funny that you seemed to have more difficulty removing the lock from the packaging than you had picking the lock. The best padlock my Home Depot sells is a Master Lock M15 which can be raked open in a few seconds.
Not on the site yet, but looking forward to seeing it there. It can be hard to find locks IRL at times that aren't Master Locks, which are a dime a dozen (and you'd be overpaying if you paid that much).
As I suspected, clam shell packaging is much more secure than any lock. Demonstrating that retail cares more about their security than any lock manufacturer cares about mine. I suppose it means that no door manufacturer ever has to offer frustration-free door opening - it's always too easy.

That's a quite nice set of locks and core sets. Affordable locks, standardized cores and the cherry is the replacement cores package to cut down the needed keys when using multiple locks on the same building or vehicle.
Nice move, Paclock.
It is about time somebody steps up, and it will be interesting to see if this is all Home Depots. Around here, it is Master Master everywhere, aside from ace and uhaul selling their own brands, and then the cheap chinese no name knockoffs. Walk mart has some Brinks, and of course reese, but unless you hit up locksmiths themselves, Masters are what you will find everywhere. It is sad that nobody has realized this prior, and I hope Home Depot has good luck with sales. Cuz if they don't the bean counters will stifle it and then nobody will pick up higher security locks. Let's hope HD doesn't price themselves out of the market!
Great design there. When I first saw the interchangeable core setup on BB's channel I thought surely people would have pins springing all over in no time if they've never done a core swap before. Clearly they thought of that with a clever yet serviceable design.
Becase of UA-cam channels like you I now know more about locked and what it takes to have a good one. I think your helping get better locks in stores.
Hes also teaching us to be much more vigilant when deciding on security for our homes and possessions. Not think that all locks are the same.
In all fairness, that did look like a pretty complicated picking process. Only he could get that done so quickly
He was slower than normal.
That's mainly because he's an expert picker who's done it for a long time. 30 seconds to a few minutes for him would be an eternity for anyone else. In a nutshell: novice lockpickers (including most thieves) won't be picking these open.
That's kind of what I thought. It seemed like he was having to go back and redo parts of it, too -- which, if you're not already familiar and experienced with whatever mechanisms are tripping you up, that would probably be the end of a picking attempt right there.
@@daniell6610 If you do exactly what he did, you would have it open in the same amount of time. All you have to do is learn it. The only reason most people can't do it is most people don't bother learning any skills in general, other than scrolling their fb feed in their spare time. Yes, he's done it a long time, so he can pick any lock. But it doesn't take a long time to learn how to pick one lock, regardless of the lock.
@@otallono Imagine trying to do this in the 'wild' where you could have to bend at an uncomfortable angle and there's a chance somebody could see you. If it won't open up quickly, that's usually the end of any picking attempts.
I can’t wait until we actually see these in my local store. Finally some padlocks worth buying.
I plan to get my hands on at least one for sure!
My first thought when I saw that 5 core cylinder pack was "Instant Progressive Set" !
viewitnow I had a similar thought. 😂
Normal people: Oh guess we gotta use a scissor to get this padlock out.
Lockpickinglawyer: Nothing on 2, 3 is binding, a click out of 5.
Most Excellent -- Super job by PacLock to get quality locks out to the mass market. I note using a normal angle grinder blade on aluminum can clog up the cutting wheel and get you nowhere fast.
I know it seems discouraging when he so quickly picks through all those security pins, but i would guess it’s too expensive to take the next step with these locks and add a side bar with finger pins or something of that sort. Definitely a grade above masterlock’s offerings.
Gotta think about your audience though. I mean its home depot and its probably hard to even sell these $30-40 padlocks. You'd probably have to break $50 to get those additional features and its unlikely people at Home depot want to pay that much when they're looking at the $10 masterlock.....
Even zipties are better then masterlock lmao
He's really, really good. Easily top few percent of all lock picks. If he makes it look reasonably easy, then it's going to be a challenge for everybody else, and a nightmare for street punks.
@@LatitudeSky When you consider that he has skill for not only pin-tumbler locks, but also dimple locks, slider locks, disk detainer cores, lever locks etc, he's in a tiny fraction of a percent of pickers in terms of skill. Not only that but he won a lockpicking competition (speed test on pin-tumbler locks) by a very wide margin.
@@satorudo Like i told one guy Contractors will like these to protect their tools These were not really designed all that much with the home owners as the major consumers from the looks of things. I like the ones for like Container trailer/ Semi Trailer door handles. I would of loved something like this when i use to haul freight into LA and Chicago few times as i've gone to check end i've come back out found the lock on the ground security seal broken and door open. So don't be such a Debbie downer. Just cause you shell the money out for a good lock don't mean others won't.
I work at Home Depot and I can't WAIT to see these on our shelves! :D
Although I understand that good quality costs money.
I have a strong feeling that based on what I see at Home Depot as far as customers go.
Most people are cheap. Looking for the best bang for the lowest cost.
So a majority of people are still going to buy the 10 dollar master lock.
You will continue to see them sitting on your shelves because of the price point.
A vast majority of people will not shell out 40 dollars for a padlock.
This being said knowing how shelf real estate works in stores.
Items in stores are not there for static displays either they sell or they dont.
If they dont sell they are gone.
@@shawnr771 true but a lot of Contractors also go to Home Depot and if they can get a good hi end lock for a good price which these are they will sell just fine. Already talked to three contractors that have the rotating trailer latches for their trailer they like what they saw and are buying them to many of them have had the shackles cut and everything in the trailer stolen. One of them has the sidedoor too and is getting puck lock with hasp. as for his ladders he never has had anyone try to steal the ladders and hes just has them bungee corded on. So that other lock may not be a big seller at least not in this area. Myself i think i should get a Commission for selling the locks LOL
@@shawnr771 I come from the pandemic infested future. I just picked up the 2A myself. The thin layer of dust seems to indicate that they’ve been there awhile. I sometimes take my camera to work to use afterward, so a decent lock for the locker is nice.
The features of locks are difficult to quantify for end users, as most are not able to thoroughly test said features for themselves and accurately weigh the value. They really only have the marketing to go by. When two packages say the same thing, the only differentiating factors then are price and brand. It’s no wonder then, that people go with the lower cost option.
Lock Picking Lawyer just looks at it and it opens...
A man talks to his girlfriend: You will be my lock, and I'll be your Lock Picking Lawyer.
Resistance is futile.
@@peppybocan smooth
@@peppybocan nothing on one.
two is binding. a nice click out of two
@@cmdraftbrn beware of false gates ;) :D
2 years later. Still no paclocks at any of my local home depots
About time they had good padlocks in home depot
Dillon Dickson too bad it’s only Home Depot’s in California and Florida at the moment
Aluminum body locks are garbage no matter how good the core is.
Wonder when the rest of home Depot will have them
Home Depot doesn't deserve your business. In fact, they are currently being boycotted. The owner is a scumbag. Also, the lock didn't look very secure, considering LPL got into it in probably less than a minute.
@@idmhead0160 Why is HD being boycotted and by who, the right or the left?
I have still not seen these in home Depot in NC, WA, OR, ID, SC, VA
After binge-watching a bunch of these videos by LPL and seeing the ease and rapidity with which he opens them, I can't help but remember what my father told me when I bought my first house: "Locks are only there to keep out honest people."
You’d think The Home Depot would have chosen to have the locks anodized Orange. If you were to ask “which big box construction supply store has a new line of locks?” I guarantee you that 4-out-of-5 dentists would say “Lowes.”🤷🏻♂️
Well thought out product design by the Pacific Lock Company & at the same time, product presentation is very aesthetic as well.
What I find particularly attractive about this brand is how they made certain parts universal across their product offering, allowing the end-user or consumer to semi-customize their locks as part of an integrated locking system.
Imagine going to Home Depot and hearing "A little click from number 2" from the next isle just to see someone trying to steal one of these.
My first thought when hearing the words "aluminum lock body" is always: Gallium Attack!
Exactly. and since these are probably left out on jobsites unattended at night, plenty of time to scratch one, apply gallium, and come back later. and since they're bright blue, it would be fairly easy to identify who's using them.
I hear Mercury works too
Not exactly a common substance or attack, but that’s certainly a possibility.
@@lockpickinglawyer Oh, you're definitely right about that. The real world circumstances would have to be very specific, but it's a kind of funny vector to see in the premium lock that a sneeze-and-you've-picked-it $5 Master isn't susceptible to.
Also, good UA-cam content. (Your previous gallium video is one of my favorites.)
Not particularly practical. Gotta damage the oxide layer, put the gallium someplace it won't just roll off, and then wait a few hours.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone has tried it, but I sincerely doubt anyone has done such an attack successfully in the wild and under duress.
A very intriguing design for a regular pin tumbler lock. I mean it didn't put up all too much of a fight, but still nice to see that they had most of the concepts down.
Something many lock manufacturers (Master lock) have yet even do...
But but .. you didn't ZOOM IN !
Was disappointed. Wanted to see the spools/serrations.
DrSid42 sorry... I forgot. I’ll be sure to give you a good look on a Friday.
@@mjap52 me too!
Actually scrolled down for this comment...
RIGHT!!!!
I'm impressed to see these locks for once actually have security pins, and multiple measures to ensure pick resistance. Fantastic lock
Every time I see this expert open any lock with ease, I get this sinking feeling that nothing is secure!
Hes probably one of the few people in the world that are that good at lock picking. Im sure your average locksmith isnt even half as good as he is
@@metalman6708 Very true, many will take one look at a lock and just grab the drill.
One minute pick... GREAT!!! I believe You SEE the pins in Your inner eye and Your tactile fingertips do the rest... this is so called extraordinary 'talent'... I respect highly Your art, yes, art! And I love to watch Your artistic presentations, all shown and comented without a bit of arrogance or 'narcism', letting the audience take a look inside of Your 'world'! Thank You a lot of letting me participate and learn from Your passion! Chapeau!!! Greetz from Schwiiz, RoB
Haha keys to open package ... I'll just pick it .
Never seen a single one of these in three years.
Finally. Great to see actual locks in hardware stores now.
I’m amazed by every one of your videos
Love from NC 🇺🇸
Took longer to get it out of the plastic packaging than it did to pick.
I just hate that Home Depot is the one selling them. I loathe Home Depot and will never set foot in another one again. Liars and crooks. I’ll stick with Lowe’s.
Sorry to hear that, they've been good to us. All of our other products will be available through Amazon shortly so maybe we can pick you up that way.
PACLOCK PRES. I appreciate you responding. I am glad your product will be online as well. Hopefully you will let it be known to others also. I comment when I can because I have been very disappointed multiple times with how Home Depot has treated me when I have never been treated anything but fairly over 40 years of buying from Lowe’s. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Is there a video of yours that explains all the lock picking terminology? Love your content.
I've wondered what he means when he says 2 is "binding" and 3 is "set"
When the pin holes are drilled done by 5 6 drill bit machinery
Hard to explain
@@jimstu8316 lol
I don’t know why this is so fascinating to me- and I’m sure I’m not the only one- but it’s really satisfying to watch these videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise and doing so with great video quality.
"Premium line of padlocks".... picks it in under a minute..
Really well thought design, 100% user friendly. Love to see companies thinking about customers.
I am certain those locks had a worried look about them when they saw LPL.
I gotta say, those locks have sex appeal. So sharp and clean looking, the stainless steel and blue aluminum go great together!
At home depot:
- May I check out this padlock?
- Sure, let me get the keys!
- No need...
Thanks for the videos about the PacLock locks. I couldn't find them on the shelves locally but I was able to order them and a keyed-alike pack for reasonable prices. A decent C$40 lock for the same cost as the junk electronic locks you've destroyed here.
Imagine you have the most pick-resistant durable padlock on your shed and then somebody just comes along and kicks the flimsy wooden wall down...
I've done construction, property management, remodeling, tenant finish, repossession, etc. for 30 yrs... there's nothing I haven't seen. I love this channel because this guy is the BEST at what he does. I've lost so many fingernails and sprayed myself with so many sparks and busted so many knuckles and broken so many screwdrivers... if only I had these vids to teach me... if only...*sigh*
Like the stylish “Lockpicking Lawyer tray.”
Good to see a more pick-resistant lock available with customer-serviceable cores. Yakima (car-top, back of car, and other mounting systems) rack systems have been available with keyed-alike packs of cores (up to eight, when I was selling them ten years ago), and they were okay locks, but far from as resistant to picking as the PacLock stuff.
Brilliant product, and smart marketing. They've taken a credible product straight to the most credible and visible reviewers. I'm likely to be a "victim" of this well-executed persuasion!
This is as close as anybody can get to an endorsement. That brand should be proud as hell of themselves. And so should Home Depot for taking this seriously.
Much appreciated, lots of work put into this for sure.
I love the symbiotic relationship these guys have. Rarely seen on UA-cam.
I love how much you teach, in each Video. Thank you.
"I recommend these! *Picks it in 10 seconds*"
Awesome. It is about time high end locks are more available in stores.
I love companies that protect me from making silly mistakes! Seriously, I'm a huge fan of that sort of design philosophy, not a lot of companies focus on things like that.
I'm so proud of myself for calling the serrated pin on 2. Even if it was a dead giveaway I'm so happy to have recognized what the tell meant.
Sweet! Hope people don't shy away thinking they're aluminum-bodied locks because they aren't made of laminated steel like a lot of retail customers are familiar with in master locks.
There's also the matter that people will have to read the package to tell what the locks are made of, it can't be assumed they they are steel
I have bought 4 paclocks, Great locks, Great customer service.......
A year later I still can’t find these locks at Home Depot
A year and five months now.
@@rolyf100 my point still stands I’ve never seen em yet
@@ElyseHorvath Not as recently as today, Master locks only!
Aluminum? Hmm. Just scratch it between the shackle with a awl to remove the coating and rub some mercury in the scratch. Come back in a day or two and the lock will be the consistency of mashed potatoes.
Paclock to Bunnings ASAP please 🤞
Bunnings sells good quality Lockwood padlocks, they're kept hidden in the toolshop though,not in the lock isle with the rubbish masters.
But would be good for more variety too.
There's a good Stanley lock. It comes with hasp for $33
@@dataminetk I know why they are hidden in the tool section..... because people that need to protect their tools on a job site are not going to be willing to buy rubbish.
Now if I'm ever looking for a really good lock at Home Depot I know where to look. Thanks for the info!
@@Gollywog It's the only Stanley one they've got. Not sure just how good it is.
@@dataminetk See my comment above.
Also, I think the reason why they keep the good locks hidden in the tool section is because if they put them in the regular lock section then people won't buy the garbage. This tactic is pretty sad actually.
PacLock is Coming to Home Depot? NOT!
Kudos to Paclock! A quality well made lock! They'll be bigger than Masterlock one day.
You don't have a clue about marketing. I doubt they will ever reach 1% of Masterlock's market share.
@@seattlesteve1 and you don't have a clue about civility. Get a life!
I think we have a good shot at it. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
@@paclockpres.9805 Well I'm definitely rooting for you and your company! I've been following you and I am impressed! Your marketing strategy is on point, make a good product, explore defects and correct them. When you go public I will be there to invest in the closest thing to a sure thing I can imagine!
@@paclockpres.9805 not at that price point you won't.
What about the , Beat it off with a major size sledgehammer ? How does Paclock stack up ?
I don't want to be sleeping and I hear someone in the door saying "Nothing on 1... 2 is binding... nothing on 3... 4 is binding..."
That's gotta be the scariest calmest voice ever. The voice that gets you to sleep and also is your worst nightmare.
"ok, and that lock is off. Now to complete this robbery i'll also need to remove the trigger lock on this 12ga. I'm going to use a standard tension tool and ...."
Thanks for the great content and reviews. Purchased my first inexpensive lock picking kit to start with before adventuring into the more expensive picks. Arrives here soon. Thanks to you lpl and bb for the great content and reviews. The paclock looks like a good lock and might have to get a set for my dad. 😎👍 keep up the great work despite the naysayers
"looks like you need the keys to get the lock out of the packaging"
How about cutting the packaging with a pair of scissors?
For real though, keep up the good work!
Edit: changed "cutting the lock" to "cutting the packaging". I would be very dissapointed if you could cut the lock with scissors, though.
He was in "overly dramatic lawyer" mode.
Pretty sure I've owned at least one padlock you could cut off with safety scissors.
I'm pretty sure he picked that lock faster then it would have taken me to cut it out of the packaging...... Also yet another example showing how seconds in LPL time are equal to minutes if not far longer on normal person time. Those seem to be damn good locks for the price.
Home Depot finally wakes up and smells the coffee!!
Thanks for the excellent video. It was funny that you seemed to have more difficulty removing the lock from the packaging than you had picking the lock.
The best padlock my Home Depot sells is a Master Lock M15 which can be raked open in a few seconds.
Hey LPL, do you have a video that explains the jargon (binding on 2, spooled pin, serated pin, etc) ??
It's really satisfying how precise he is..
Not on the site yet, but looking forward to seeing it there. It can be hard to find locks IRL at times that aren't Master Locks, which are a dime a dozen (and you'd be overpaying if you paid that much).
As I suspected, clam shell packaging is much more secure than any lock. Demonstrating that retail cares more about their security than any lock manufacturer cares about mine. I suppose it means that no door manufacturer ever has to offer frustration-free door opening - it's always too easy.
The only person to pick a lock before it is even unpacked.
clear audio, steady camera, good lighting, and straight to-the-point video. awesome
