Hi guys ~ sorry, long response here, but the short response is "not a representative review" at least from the perspective that this lock is not what you should be buying at a PS facility today. That lock was produced for PS well over 6 or 7 years ago. I know because PACLOCK has been producing the disc locks for PS since then... and there are tell tale signs that tell me whether a lock is from pre or post-PACLOCK days. I am 100% certain that lock was not produced by PACLOCK for a couple of reasons. How did you come about this lock? I'm sure PS would want to know if they have really old inventory somewhere that hasn't been cleared out.
With that said, your review, as always, is completely fair and accurate on this lock! It is JUNK!!!! It's why PS came to PACLOCK saying "please help us, we need better for our customers!" I could fill up even more pages talking about what we did to help PS, and I know all of you would truly enjoy the stories. But maybe one day over a beer and in person! For now let me highlight a few things (that will still take up some pages).
There are only two or three factories in China that can make the disc locks. And those two factories do a very poor job of it... and, yes, those factories put all kinds of "manufacturers" names on the disc locks. I don't want to disparage any other manufacturer, but if their disc lock was made in China (check the packaging), then it was likely made at one of those two factories. Watch out.
For the first year and a half PACLOCK worked with those two factories to make drastic improvements to their products. Pulling teeth doesn't even come close to trying to explain what we went through. But we did what we could and did make significant improvements to the lock. Biggest problem? Key interchange. Even a 5-pin cylinder, if it's from one of these Chinese factories, would have interchange like mad.
But who knows that? Who sits there with 50 padlocks on a desk and tries each individual key in every single lock. Yup, 2,500 different key insertions. PACLOCK did it over and over again (it takes 4 hours each time you do it). Careful of the quality associated with some of the manufacturers mentioned in some of the users' comments below... I can tell you for a fact that even those well known manufacturers have a not-more-than-one-in-20 key interchange standard! Sounds absurd right? 5-pin cylinders should have lots of key changes!!! Not if your quality is far less than acceptable... 2 pins in a cylinder, you betcha! Terrible tolerances on the pins themselves? You betcha! Terrible cutting tolerances on the steel keys, you betcha! On and on. So saying they have 5-pins is truly an illusion of security (as proven by LPL in this video!).
What PACLOCK did with those 2 factories is pound them into improving manufacturing to the point where we could get no key interchange in 1 in 500 locks! It was a monumental feet and they complained, but made it happen. Cost us more. Then we forced them to do 6 different keyways with those same 500 numbers! And we forced them to start at key #1 and go to key #500! Yes, painful!!! But by doing that, we go PS no key interchange on an entire pallet of 3,000 padlocks!!! That was huge back then, never before done. This was 2012 into 2013. Lots of work was done with the functionality of the locks also, but we had less success there. Still, PS was very happy with the disc locks we started supplying.
But PACLOCK wasn't done yet! While we were working with those other established factories to try and get them to change (improve), we were working to establish a new factory to specifically make a drastically improved version of the disc lock... what we call the "PRO" version. What makes it "PRO"?
- First ever 6-pin cylinder (and for real, all 6 pins all the time!)
- Modified pins to allow for a single bit changeout... which then bumped us up to more than 20,000 unique (and useable) key numbers!!!
- We were able to incorporate our pick and bump resistance technology into the cylinders
- Nickel silver keys (stronger than regular brass)
- The two outer clams made on progressive die stamp machines for superior tolerance control (this is huge because it affects the functionality of the lock). A typical China factory will use 10 or 12 different press machines to form the outer shells... a progressive die machine is huge and performs all of those functions on a single die and feeding the material in as it goes (progressively).
- Ultrasonic cleaning of the lock after it gets sanded and buffed. Ever get a disc lock that is either dripping in grease/oil or is full of debris? That's because a typical factory doesn't want to spend the time or money to ultrasonic clean their locks so they spray in a bunch of oil and try to air blast as much out as they can... doesn't work well. Our PRO locks will never have dripping oil or tons of debris in them.
- 100% welded seam on the outside and even under the shackle. Doing under the shackle takes a CNC controlled laser welder that is expensive to buy and hard to setup. We did it for PS.
There's probably more, but I've that's what's off the top of my head. We started producing these versions of the disc lock for PS back in 2014 and, I'd suspect, that's all PS should have in their system at this point. How do you know if it's a "PRO"? Lots of signs.
First, the lock literally says "Disc Lock PRO" on it. Second, no PS logos at all anywhere. Why? Let's just call it blackmail out of China with PS's logo and we all decided to not pay the ransom... so no logos it is! Third, every PACLOCK produced disc lock (even from the "other" factories) has a manufacturing date/code stamped on the back of it.
The code serves a bunch of purposes. Keep in mind that while we produce these locks in China (too much welding/buffing/sanding to do it in USA, no one would pay the price), PACLOCK does quality inspections on every single batch that comes in from our factory. And we are thorough. So we track any quality issues batch to batch and constantly work with our factory to insure quality stays where we want it. I don't know of any other padlock "manufacturer" that does this extra step of quality assurance in the USA.
So, with all of that said, I'd ask for LPL to go to your local PS and grab a disc lock and give this a whole re-do test! BosnianBill did about a 20 minute review of our "PRO" locks when we first came out with them... wouldn't mind having a second set of eyes/picks check up on us again years later!!! Obviously PACLOCK would be more than happy to send you some test locks (like we did for BosnianBill back then), but we don't want it to seem like we would cherry pick! Back with BosnianBill, we didn't have a choice because the locks weren't yet in stores. Today, they should be everywhere!
Apologies for the long write up, but hopefully it gives you all a taste of the sort of attention to detail and overcoming-obstacles PACLOCK will go through to get an important customer truly good quality products! Plus, I'm a fast typer!!!
PACLOCK PRES. Thanks for this Greg, and thanks for sending the newer version my way. I’m pinning this comment, and will post a video in the next few weeks comparing the new and old. 👍
As a consumer, a tip of my hat to you for taking the time to respond to a UA-cam video of your company's product!!!!!
Thanks Dremwolf... technically, though, what LPL reviewed wasn't my company's product! ;) @@dremwolf5419
A lock manufacturer who pays attention to the locksport channels on youtube (and probably similar stuff elsewhere). Impressive. It means you actually care about making a good product rather than selling garbage.
Sadly, what is all too likely to happen is that you get bought out by one of the big boys. Supposedly to improve their range, but really to suppress the competition and make a brief killing as they bring your product down to their shoddy standards and sell on reputation. But maybe I'm overly cynical and you'll continue to produce good locks for a long time to come.
@@paclockpres.9805 Thanks for the clarification.
To be fair:
If the lock was harder to pick, the storage wouldn't be public any more now, would it?
Sleeping Insomiac True. Definitely can’t say it’s false marketing. 😂
You'd look suspicious standing outside a storage locker for 5 minutes fiddling with the lock, so....
@@Clay3613
You serious?
5 minutes?
The whole video with introduction, description, picking *and* raking the lock is 3:05...
With (being generous) 30 seconds to pick and about 2 seconds to rake it open.
@@Sleeping_Insomiac
Real world scenario, not in a brightly lit studio.
@@Clay3613
I'd agree if the lock had to be picked, but I don't see the raking taking more than 5 seconds even in the most adverse conditions.
Luckily, most thieves lack the skills.
At first I was aghast at your videos! But then I realized what a tremendous service you are doing. False security is what I had. You exposed that. It was a hard truth but I am grateful for your work. Looks like I need to start welding stuff shut and carry a battery operated cutoff wheel. Cumbersome but a little bit more secure! : )
Then soon the outlaws will have a battery operated cutoff wheel. Then when BOCWs are outlawed, only the outlaws will have BOCWs.
@flyingeagle357 Yeah I hate sheeple man, like idiots who actually believe the earth is round or that it revolves around the sun.
Horsedick.MPEG
Lmao, what did I miss here?
Nothing can withstand the angle grinder...
😂
I remember those. I helped a friend into his storage unit once. It was terrible. I spent way more time grinding an improvised pick and tensioner on the curb than picking that disappointment.
Timorus Metus
I cut through one with my Sawsall and two or three blades one time.
Went through just below the end of the shackle.
I fell into locksport after seeing a news entry about "thieves enter locked doors at storage building". Never saw a cut padlock at an auction, they'd all been raked open.
they forgot the o in the ps badge
PHANTASY STAR ONLINE!?
Pos lol
Indeed. Very easy to either pick or break those (I’ve done it, but not for criminal intent).
Top of keyway with wiper and wave saved us a locksmith call in a pinch on our unit getting back in when we lost the keys. Thank you! Videos like this save $385 locksmith calls every time.
Thank you!!! It is snowing here and my shovels are in a storage unit. I couldn't get the lock open with the key. WD40 didn't help (thinking it was frozen). Your tip of moving the shackle to the right did the trick! Thanks again. I have enjoyed your channel immensely the last few years.
Really like your video's. I am a locksmith but still learn so much from watching your techniques plus the differentiation of products is super beneficial!
Just started watching your videos, just got a kit from amazon and have successfully picked a couple of locks! Its so satisfying when you hear the last click and the lock opens. Thank you for this new hobby!
A "hobby" for criminals is not a "hobby."
Just raked my first lock with this exact lock I found the basement I modified a pumpkin carving tool you grt in thoes kits and a small window key for a tensioner got it in like 30 sec took me 30 mins to make the tools hahaha I think I am going to try to pick it next. Thanks for getting me interested in locks and picking I am looking forward to learning and making lockpicking a new hobby for me.
i like how this is not half as difficult as doing it when it's actually mounted to a door right side up but you make this seem practical
it's easier when its secured to something instead of having to hold it in place with your hand and using two picks
"Ohh YEAAHH that rakes very easily!" -LockPickingLawyer
and he says he isn't very good at raking
As I've been sitting here trying to rake mine for months!
It proves once again that businesses are just selling the illusion of security.
Thanks for the video, cheers mate
I’m appreciating for the first time that you have fairly large hands. That disc padlock looks like a toy
I wonder if LPL is Uncle Jack Kelly and this comment is made by his alt account?
Well, it pretty much is a toy.
Wreck it ralph with a voice changer! Ha
Thanks so much for the tip about moving the shackle, that turned a ten minute pick to a 30 second pick!
why do i find these videos so entertaining
I'm actually considering buying a lock pick set off Amazon, just because of this channel.
I'm a night shifter and pretty much workin an empty factory, i have a hundred locks at my disposal......
I want to try raking on pos master locks!
(Fyi i have no idea how this channel ended up in my feed, but I'm glad it did)
@@mymusicaccount1456 Don't pick locks at your workplace. The tip of the pick can break off inside the lock, which would make it difficult to be used normally ( you would probably have to dismantle the lock to get the tip out).
@@mymusicaccount1456 - Do it.
How did it go@@mymusicaccount1456
I love the quality of your videos, and I can't stop bingeing all of your videos.
Keep up the good work :D
I guess the best protection is not hardened steel but instead lead...you are incredibly good at this...thank you for showing how easy it can be to rake
I wish you were a Pop-A-Lock trainer haha. It would be awesome to "see" what you "feel" and how you feel the locks out. Super impressive, sir!!
Thanks! My dad needed help cause he lost the key to his storage unit. This helped me pick it!
You make it look so easy! I just got a lock pick set and have decided the practice lock is too easy and went ahead to jump straight into trying to pick my dads uhaul disk lock. I've been at it for a couple hours now and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Its a little disheartening
Really struggling to get a copy of this thing open. Barely opens with the key itself 🤣
I think my parents have found a perfect use case for this type of lock
For the greenhouse door, it's in public area with other people gardens, so it's perfect to keep others from using your tools and not eating your tomatoes
You can Wrap a thin strip of Duct tape, or other tape around the Shackle to be used for a Tension Tool. Leaves the Key Totally clear for your Pick. Keep up the Great Work.
Stratmando
The designers of my PS disc padlock clearly knew what they're doing, since the keyway shape makes it hard to get your hook to the pins, and the keyway is upside down, so it would be very difficult to pick while in service.
I always enjoy your videos. I have always wondered it you find it easier to pick a lock if you have the key nearby? Without the key do you know which picks to use or does it simply take longer because of trial and error?
Thanks to this video I was able to pick this lock, I had in the closet for a while….I ended up not only picking this lock, but I picked my bedroom door lock as well out of curiosity 🤣😂😅
2:37 That was pretty cool the watch. You make it look so easy, but then again I've never even tried lock-picking.
2:37?
The video is only 3 mins long. 7:37 ??
13:37?
The ease of picking makes sense: The name ‘Public Storage’ implies ease of access for the public.
U-Haul worker here! We at U-Haul, require storage units to have these disk locks. However, with how many security cameras U-Haul has for their self storage, it makes up for the security of the locks. We design our hasps to where it makes it more difficult to get in with bolt cutters or an angle grinder to get these disk locks open without damaging the hasp of the storage unit or leaving evidence behind that someone broke into the unit. U-Haul has never had an incident where someone broke into someone's storage unit, from what I've heard.
Have lock manufacturers ever consulted with you about lock design?
What specific suggestions would you make to improve locks in general?
Does the possiblity that your material could enable nefarious actors concern you?
Does really security matter on these locks? For example, Public storage facilitys in sweden are well guarded with cameras and access cards, and I guess its the same where you live. So if someone picks or rakes these locks, it will be visible on camera and also it will be visible in the logs which access card which opened the gate or the front door (depending on if you have a outside reach-with-car unit, then its a motorised gate you have to open with access card, or a inside human-access-only unit, which are accessed by a front door that requires a access card scan), so the culprit could be traced down and prosecuted.
It's the same where I have storage. But Even if you can show X person entered the building, you can't prove they were the ones who stole anything and hid it away in their unit. They don't have cameras down every hallway. And there is often nobody else around to see anything happening. Someone could easily go in and help themselves to many units. In any case, weak locks like these are an issue. But the are also attached to very cheap hasps. If you don't care about leaving traces, a prybar will get into most storage units in a few moments.
@@LatitudeSky You could. For example if the real owner to storage unit X tells items have disappeared, you check the logs where the owner of unit X and next time owner of unit X entered. You now have a list of suspects. To prevent fake reports, also write down the owner of the storage unit X as a suspect on "his" list. Next time Another storage unit owner Y claims items missing, you do the same for him. After that, you will have a bunch of lists of suspects. When you have, lets say about 6 such lists, pick 3 at ranom and tick off everyone not present on all 3 lists. If everyone is ticked off, you need to choose Another 3 lists instead. After doing this, you will land on one single person that isn't ticked, the common denominatior. If there is more than one person non-ticked, check against more lists until you land on one single person. Now cross-check the denominator against all lists, and you will see he is on most lists but not all (because it might exist fake reports from certain residents and it may also exist resident that just misplaced items without losing them).
There you have it, a thief catched.
Sebastian Nielsen after at least 6 reported incidents. Not helpful if they only strike a couple times.
@Sebastian Nielsen
I was thinking the same thing, but I believe the level of security is relative to how important the items you are storing are in this case. If you're storing valuables, then you'll want a pretty good lock despite there being on-site physical security. If you're storing less-than-valuable items or stuff that's insured, then yeah, you can rely only on the on-site security and go with this shitty lock.
I'll be honest, I had a pick kit delivered today with a practice lock which took me seconds to unlock so I tried one of these disclocks straight out of the packet & 2 mins later it was open & now I can open it each time in 2/3 seconds.
I'm going to have to find a harder lock. But God damn it's fun 😂
I have a lock like this on the door to our under-the-house crawlspace because we actually have room down there to stand up and store large items (the house is on a hill, so one side has a lot more space underneath). We also have a whole-house water filtration system where the water comes in from the street and I have to change the pre-filter and post-filter every few months.
I lost my keys so now I want to try picking the lock so I can get back in there.
Thank you very much I was about to pair this lock with a abus chain to lock up my ebike now I'll look elsewhere for a better lock probably one of your videos might suggest a good padlock..
Your Lockpicking skill has improved.
0:43 no one talking about that epic voice crack
Gonna ask you the same thing I asked Bill.
When you pick off camera, do you still say things out loud like you do when you pick for us?
Pickng her lock is his other sport she rakes pretty easy as well
Thanks for the vid.
Why not pick the lock as it would be on the door not upside down.
One of the worst locks I’ve ever seen you rake. Before you could get the words out it was open. Avoid at all costs.
Niiice! I have an ACE disc padlock that i just can't seem to conquer 😅 you make it look so easy I thought I could figure it out but no luck yet. I'm still new but I thought these would beon the easier side. I need more practice!
Nice tip on setting the shackle 👍🏻
Has me guessing what PS really means 😜
You can also try to cut cheapest durable lock that you will find with the hydraulic cutter.
the hydraulic cutter has a toothache.... tried to cut a real tough one the other day... but thank goodness he has another set of jaws.
Lol.. I saw that, incredible. @@ScrewThisGlueThat
I'm at public storage. The poplock guy drilled a hole. Can't open it. And gone to get more tools. I'm on a limit with the truck rental. So I have two hours left. No pop lock guy back yet. Cost me $150 for him to make a whole in the lock. I think uhaul and pop lock got some deal going on to rip there customers off.
😂
When you use “top of the keyway tension” about how deep can you place your tensioner before hitting the first pin? Also why specifically would you use this method in this case?
I cannot seem to get enough grip on the tensioner or depth, in order to put the pressure required to turn the cylinder. I’ve been trying this UHAUL lock for well over 6 months off and on. It will not yield to my attack. Love this channel!
Dude u probably saved me $300 on getting in my storage unit my key was lost and this is a blessing
I’m in this situation now lol U just get the rake off amazon?
Alright. This is the first lock in trying to pick, since getting my kit for Christmas. I have been unsuccessful thus far, but seeing that you use tension on the top instead of the bottom. I'll have to try that out today
Well, I did use the tension on the bottom like I was before, but I was actually successful! I've actually done it a couple times today!
You've done some videos on breaking the shackles of locks, with the hydraulic cutter etc, but how well would a lock body do against that? If you had one of these on a container, could you cut the lock body and gain access?
I was hoping for a bit easier way. I have one of those style locks on my shop and vehicle recently burned down with the keys to my shop still on it. Just don’t wanna pay for a Smith to come out.
Thanks lpl the tip on the shackle finally let me open mine!
Hey, LPL! Been watching you for awhile, and I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I wondered when the hydraulic cutter was gonna be defeated. :)
Which is a best lock that you recommend for storage unit ?
Perhaps they use this kind of locks to make it easy for the Sheriffs to search the lockers
I hope this video helps to open my Ace Hardware branded disc lock to be opened! Thanks
I’ve seen so many of these I was thinking of you when I saw em lol
What would you use for a storage locker?
I lost my key and picked this for over an hour until the police were called and showed up. Didn't help it was 2am in the morning. But now I'm watching your videos to see what I done wrong. Any how the next day I brought a generator and a drill with a die grinding type attachment. I didn't even own a battery powered drill.
Can you pick a disk lock in the real world where they're tight up against something not in your hand
My first thought when I saw the pick enter the lock was "I bet this is a 30 second pick". And it was about 28 seconds so I was almost right. And I have never lockpicked before or even own a pair of lockpicks I just enjoy these videos. If I can just guess that it near 30 second pick I'm guessing I have watched to many videos or this lock is just terrible.
Where is the best place or site to buy locks to pick. You have inspired me sir. I have baught almost every pick you have shown me. But damned if i can find locks to pick. Please help a fellow picker.
We had to get a storage bin when I was laid up. My wife and my brother took the stuff up, and she bought a lock though them. It was as cheap as can be! And now, I've had my trailer locked up with it for 3 years... and I can't find the key. I may borrow my neighbor's cut off wheel, but I've always wanted to try picking a lock. Just not right now.
Hi lpl, I was wondering, which lock is the best you've ever had your hand on?
Love your videos! Can you consider making some picks while the lock is in its setting? Things like a ulock on a bike or this lock on a door.
I want to see him do the same, maybe add a db meter and try and pick locks while staying under 30 decibels....
If the storage place tells you to buy there round locks don't . They can pick these locks .take pictures of your storage items even if your using the storage for along time .me 9 years and im missising alot of furniture and items .take pictures of your storage so if they move something you'll know so you can prove it
Wow, impressive that the key actually takes longer than the rake :-O
Sooo, what's a good alternative?
I was just about to buy them, thank goodness I remember never to buy a lock without LPL approval.
Great job picking as always brother and thanks for the review
Public Storage forces customers to buy this lock, from them. I caught a manager using a lock pick kit on the unit next to mine once. I asked her why she was doing it and she said because the customer failed to pay his bill the day before and didn't pay that day and if he didn't pay the next day they would replace the lock with one of theirs. I'm a retired policeman and reminded her that possession of lock pick kits was illegal in this state unless she was a licensed locksmith. Managers are trained to pick locks, then help themselves to your property. As I found out later when I discovered my Vacuum cleaner and 2 boxes were missing.
Great video. How can you tell if a lock is a candidate for raking? Maybe 40% are. But, how can you tell?
Great video. Now, where do I get the tools to pick a lock?
I have a similar lock on my storage unit, and I cannot get an single locksmith to come out and take care of the lock. I've called 10 of them! The lock can't be cut, and Uhaul just tells be to get a locksmith. Frustrating. I'm up for learning a new skill.
You can order a basic lockpicking kit from Banggood or Amazon. Here's a link for a set LPL reviewed and said was pretty good: www.amazon.com/Lock-Stainless-Steel-Multi-Function-15-Piece/dp/B08BJK55CW/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=lock+pick+set&qid=1606352017&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExT1FITlBFUUZBVFJUJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTA5NTc3VjUwV0VHWE9aMEFKJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA0NTA0MzkyM1pJOEhUVlRHQTJVJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
What brand/model do you consider to be the most secure padlock?
You mention you use “top of the keyway tension”, however I notice on my similar lock, there is maybe a 1/8” space to rest the tension bar before touching a pin. Why did you use this method and is it that much of a benefit? I cannot seem to pick this slippery rascal.
that was east to do because the lock could be positioned wherever was most comfortable/easy to get at. If the lock was actually on the metal door at the storage facility that would be would be truly challenging. The lock couldn't be turned and held in the left hand upside down like shown in the video.
Happy Holidays LPL!
Hi/ I know you show how to pick- but would be good if you showed reviews for the best locks. I have one of these locks for a bike storage unit, and would love to know a better alternative!
My aunt had one on her storage unit. I told her it was a piece of shit, go buy one from the security locksmith a mile down the road. She didn't take my warning and got cleaned out. 3 pins working on a good day.
The disc lock that was on my life storage unit has a tighter tolerance and is slightly offset where the pins go. I've been trying to pick it open since my unit is closed as I no longer needed it... I've been unable to pick, rake, or jiggle it open. None of my Southord picks are small enough to fit straight in the gap where the pins are. Never gotten a single pin to stick.
Yeah I'm having no success with my Uhaul version. I'm starting to suspect that this channel deceptively selects easy to pick locks (or locks that he studied intently) to make it look easy in advance of him opening his lockpick supply website. The site opened a couple of weeks ago and literally everything on the site is sold out. There are going to be a lot of people that are disappointed when their picks and tools arrive and they aren't able to replicate LPL's magical picking ability on any lock they pick up.
Small wiper insert, standard hook in 25 thousandths
I have one of these that's hard to pick because of how cheap it is... it's so shitty that the keyway, when turned doesn't allow the pins to bind, you can just feel the springs pushing against all of them even when applying pressure on the tension bar
I don't know how I ended up here, UA-cam recommendation algorithm is smoking funny stuff again.
But not a bad recommendation at all.
Anyone that's an "Authorized User" in public storage get's locked out if the owner dies, they double lock the unit. IF you have the key and access code you can come and go and take anything as authorized user. IF you need the lock cut, then they say the stuff is the deceased heirs not the authorized user's unless they put it that way in addendum to have joint ownership of the property. So you can't leave stuff even to your heirs without sending them the key or they get held up to have will or probate authorization and death certificate which authorized user can't do a thing to obtain a death certificate, that goes to only family members. The authorized user can do anything they want to except if they lose the key.
Just found one of these locks on a walk tonight. Gonna try to pick it, thanks for the video!
I guess first thing right off,start with a rake,on all these storage lock's,good starting place.
I use better quality paddocks like these at work and they are similar to SPP but difficult to rake.
My trailer lock used one that sounded just as rough at that one. If I had known at the time how easy they were to pick I would have changed it.
Maybe it is time again for locking picking lawyer's destructive tests that are less than loud dont require massive gear.
The disc body varies slightly but they seem to be amazing against nonkey-way attacks.
Makes me wonder how good the U-Haul discus locks are, because at U-Haul storage facilities, the discus locks are REQUIRED.
P.S, because Managers and auction leaders have to get into the unit if your unit goes up for auction, we must be able to drill out the core. So drilling attacks aren't all that impossible.
it's the same lock with a different name stamped on it is what the video suggested.
I have some experience in picking and raking different types of locks.... but can't seem to get this one to save my life. I have an ultra cheap pick set, but can't put the blame there.... I'm obviously missing something
Hello, I just found your channel when I did a Google search regarding the round lock. Maybe you can help me or provide advice? I was recently contacted by my storage unit and told the maintenance man noticed my lock was missing. I have been with this company for over eight years and at this particular unit for about seven years (I needed a bigger unit and moved from a smaller unit to this one around 2016). This is the first time my lock has been missing. I visited my unit in May (it's out of state, and I live in California) to look for some old Pokemon cards and a few other keepsakes. Unfortunately, the unit was messy and disorganized, and I found it difficult to find what I was looking for. After looking for three days, off and on, my daughter and I grabbed a small box of items we wanted, including my old high school yearbook and her old PS2. Many items were left. We took pictures of the unit the way it was before we left. I closed the metal door of the unit and locked it, according to my memory. My lock was round like the one in your video, and I believe when I inserted the key, it stayed until the lock was closed, and the key would release and come out. I'm going to request CCTV from the company and an investigation, but I'm not sure if they'll honor my request. I intend to file a police report, but I don't know how other than to fly to the East Coast and do it in person. This is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me. I hope I'm not making a fool of myself and that it isn't user error, but I'm sure I closed the lock before I flew back home. Also, that was in May of this year, and if the maintenance man just noticed it on Friday, October 27th, I'm not sure how long the lock was missing. Please help.
Every time I watch one of your vids, I put Fred Stoller's face to your voice.
😩 So .... what "storage lock" do you recommend I use @LockPickingLawyer?
What shortcomings do you see in Sargeant & Greenleaf's 'AxisBlu'?
Somebody got into my son's storage locker. They didn't bother with the lock. They just took the bolts out of the door hinges.
They didn't find anything worth stealing inside, but they left their screwdriver.
Are there any videos on locks you would suggest we use for different situations. Seems like every lock is no good that i have ever thought about buying.
Comment and Question if I may.
U-Haul demands in their storage contract a disc lock must be used. Which is not the best security option, but I can deal with that by also installing a better lock on a second latch hole. U-Haul continues to harass me about removing the second lock or be charged for its removal.
I show them their contract where it says Uhaul isn't responsible if the storage unit is broken into, and therefore I must be. I am just being responsible for my storage unit by securing better.
Is that a fair argument for my problem?
Great content thank you!
I wish it was. They shouldn't include a second lock hole if they don't want people to use it. Still, don't be surprised if they come and cut it off.
I went there this afternoon after yet another bullying attempt on my Girlfriend. It was nice and busy, and a decent line up waiting to be helped. I was very direct, spoke loud enough, repeating what my earlier post, and repeating all of the managers responses to me. So as 6 or more people are my witnesses, the manager will not ever harass us about a second lock.
@@djbenysk1 Congratulations. There is still sanity left in the universe in small pockets.
Does LPL Have any videos on how the raking attack works? This is the only key lock I have around to play with my new Covert companion, and I wanted to get a feel for raking a lock, but I'm having no luck on this very lock.
I single pin picket it 3-4 times, but I don't have the feel for raking yet.
I'm making sure to orient the 2 rakes included with "sharp" pints towards the key pins, and I've tried starting "low" and moving toward the key pins with a raking motion of about 1/2", but no luck.
Been having trouble with one of these for months! I don't have top tension tool, but I have tried everything with no luck. Any help would be much appreciated
MrMogulMoney the ones I’ve picked I used heavy tension and I overlift the pins - let up on tension - get a false set and counter rotation - then use lifter pick to raise the pin that sticks. Of course the one in this video had no security pins. But picking by overlifting may still be effective.
Nice job MrL.P.L.
Hey LPL, can you test this against your hydrolic cutters?
