I’m curious about this “foil impressioning” technique - could this be attempted in a different video? I know that it has been unsuccessful in the past, but I’d like to know the theory
Why the hell doesn't the news run a story about how lousy Master Lock is so they can issue an apology and start making better locks? Just kidding, they will always be awful.
Probably because people feed ML enough money to hire enough lawyers to ruin any news organization’s decade. Though anti-SLAPP laws ought to offer some protection now. Also, it’s not “news” anymore. They’ve always been trash, but a newcomer with a “flaw” is fresh meat.
@@justins8802 More likely the CEOs of both Masterlock and (insert whatever crappy corporate news network here) went to Harvard together and now play golf once a month to keep up their partnersh... I mean friendship...

The number of companies Assa Abloy has bought is pretty amazing. I worked for SA Lock, which was acquired by Sargent Lock. Sargent Lock had been bought by Assa Abloy in 1996 (before they bought us, which I think was somewhere around 2006). Assa Abloy is a Swedish company, and they can be a real pain in the ass.
LPL: This was apparently subject to a foil impressioning attack. Though I've never been able to get that to work... I'm satisfied that it was not a significant vulnerability.

I once had the fortune to watch a master foil impression his way into a Gamma Mul-T-Lock. I was impressed that's for sure and was never able to reproduce a successful opening using his method and choice of foil.
Make it also an audio-book, and I can be lulled nicely to sleep at night by LPLs soothing voice. It's a win-win situation, learning something new, and sleeping like a baby.

Now imagine the dexterity to see with your hands and fingers the inner and outer pin orientations and keep in mind where pins are binding and where they have clicked into position.

Mul-T-Lock was very popular in Poland about 20-30 years ago, as an additional car protection (gear lever lock). I remember they used the very same keys.
I remember these locks from about 25 years ago. You could get a version that came with a 2 halfs metal zig zag cover to weld on shipping container doors to keep the lock away from cutting tools. They were quite popular at the time.
I think the issue here is linear thinking. The reason you have warding on your lock is to make picking harder, by making it physically difficult to get the pick into the right place. I suspect the designers thought that the pin-in-pin design already made picking hard enough, so they didn't need warding. (You need special tools and, if LPL takes a minute and a half to pick a lock, an average lock picker will need half an hour minimum.) Since "the" reason for warding wasn't applicable, they probably didn't consider side-benefits of warding. And, since warding has a definite cost (harder to machine the cylinder and the keys), there's commercial pressure to avoid it if possible.
I just priced them on Amazon Mexico. They are NOT cheap, but I suppose that’s relative to either the price of other locks or how much you value your stuff or your life. The later comparison is the wiser one.
Could someone explain "nice click" and "false set"? I always imagine that with a "false set" you would have to start over, but I never tried picking a lock myself.
A "nice click" is when a pin is pushed fully clear of the shear line, allowing the tensioner to rotate the cylinder until the next pin binds. A false set is when a security pin such as a spool is pushed into a position where a narrow part of the pin is across the shear line. This allows the cylinder to turn a little, but not as far as it would if the pin was fully clear of the shear line. If you don't know what I mean by "shear line", search for a video of somebody picking a transparent lock to show how single-pin picking works. (It's so much easier to see it graphically than for somebody to try to explain it in words.)
I just got me self a nice cheap lock picking set from Ali ($20 or so) and several Yale pad locks (the good ones, with security pins and all) and went on picking. Took me about 30 minutes to pick the first time, now i can pick open pretty much any Yale and old Mul-t-lock (the new ones are a bit too much for me at this stage) in under 5 minutes. It's pretty intuitive once you start doing it, you can actually feel the individual pins and their nature, the counter rotation, the false set, the clicks. Just get a set man, you'll like it, i promise :)
@@beeble2003 Thanks a lot, I did understand your explanation. It sounds like he never pushes a pin past the shear line, where he would have to start over. Is that true? If he did , does it have a name? Maybe "over set?"
This is more like it. Love the traditional picking video. I enjoy watching you use your steady hands to crack into almost every consumer grade lock. Prefer these over the Lishi tool videos.
I have no interest in locks and don’t have anything worth securing and yet- here I am glued to my phone screen and able to recognise a good lock from the amount of time A LPL video runs for!
I'd very much like you to look deeper into that "foil impressioning" attack because to me it smells a bit like bullshit. I dunno, maybe you could explain the theory a bit more.
Same concept as the tubular lock 'bic pen lid' impressioning attack. Cut the tip of a pen lid at the point where it tapers out enough to fit in the lockway. Mash and twist the lid until the plastic is deformed and the keyway turns. For the dimple locks, you need a key drilled to max depth. Wrap it in a stiff foil then slide in, wiggle and turn. The foil depresses as you wiggle and the spring fights back. The turning gets the pin bound open under tension. A bit of practice can get the lock open. The inner pins are all the same length so when you press them hard they deform the tool at the maximum depth, exposing the cut depth. Back off a little on the pressure and your 'key' is aligned.
@@TheAnonyy just report the spammer unfortunately it doesn't get rid of every comment they've made (I don't think it does anyway, I could be wrong) so you have to report each one manually
That was tough! But even tougher is getting your washing machine's hatch open when the hatch is locked by the program. For some reason mine keeps my laundry locked for the last 10-15 minutes, while the machine does absolutely nothing... Or if you abort the program (!!). Try "picking" a laundry machine's hatch. Can't be beat by a machine that eats dirty underwear!
Mine can be picked with a strong magnet. Just approach the magnet to the lock (inside the machine, not the door) and the machine will open. The magnet will need to be rotated to the right way (N or S) depending on how the contraption works. If it still doesn't work, then it's one unusual one that only uses heat instead of heat and metal. If that's so, you can try approaching some ice at the hottest spot near the door lock. It should reduce that time to 5 minutes or maybe even less.
Well I watched too many of these, I ordered a pick set and it came today. I've now picked 3 locks already, it kind of surprised me how easy it was. I'm now reading the MIT lockpicking guide.
Long time ago I had one of these. I do recall how easy it was to inset the key and open the lock with the key. The lock got some sand, and I was able to easily dismantle it, clean it and went into service until I sold it, no fuss. When I had it open, I saw that you could try to jam the keyway , and by just inserting the key, you can remove the jam, and open the lock like nothing.

'We got this open' as we bask in the reflected glory
Mul-T-Lock locks are used all around Israel and I personally have one in my door, good to see it took you some time to pick...
I just priced them on Amazon Mexico. They are NOT cheap, but I suppose that’s relative to either the price of other locks or how much you value your stuff or your life. The later comparison is the wiser one.
here before the video number
Could someone explain "nice click" and "false set"? I always imagine that with a "false set" you would have to start over, but I never tried picking a lock myself.
A "nice click" is when a pin is pushed fully clear of the shear line, allowing the tensioner to rotate the cylinder until the next pin binds. A false set is when a security pin such as a spool is pushed into a position where a narrow part of the pin is across the shear line. This allows the cylinder to turn a little, but not as far as it would if the pin was fully clear of the shear line. If you don't know what I mean by "shear line", search for a video of somebody picking a transparent lock to show how single-pin picking works. (It's so much easier to see it graphically than for somebody to try to explain it in words.)
I just got me self a nice cheap lock picking set from Ali ($20 or so) and several Yale pad locks (the good ones, with security pins and all) and went on picking. Took me about 30 minutes to pick the first time, now i can pick open pretty much any Yale and old Mul-t-lock (the new ones are a bit too much for me at this stage) in under 5 minutes. It's pretty intuitive once you start doing it, you can actually feel the individual pins and their nature, the counter rotation, the false set, the clicks.
Just get a set man, you'll like it, i promise :)
@@beeble2003 Thanks a lot, I did understand your explanation. It sounds like he never pushes a pin past the shear line, where he would have to start over. Is that true? If he did , does it have a name? Maybe "over set?"
@@pepperpepperpepper I think that’s called over-setting, yes.
@@beeble2003 Thank you!
This is more like it. Love the traditional picking video. I enjoy watching you use your steady hands to crack into almost every consumer grade lock.
Prefer these over the Lishi tool videos.
I have no interest in locks and don’t have anything worth securing and yet- here I am glued to my phone screen and able to recognise a good lock from the amount of time A LPL video runs for!
A hacker from video *[1337]* hacked out the video number!!!
Here before the video number.
That’s some strong tension. Look at the thumb indentation.
OMG! More than 30 seconds for him to open this! Must be a God lock!
If tit takes 30 seconds for him to open the lock it is good
I'd very much like you to look deeper into that "foil impressioning" attack because to me it smells a bit like bullshit. I dunno, maybe you could explain the theory a bit more.
Same concept as the tubular lock 'bic pen lid' impressioning attack. Cut the tip of a pen lid at the point where it tapers out enough to fit in the lockway. Mash and twist the lid until the plastic is deformed and the keyway turns. For the dimple locks, you need a key drilled to max depth. Wrap it in a stiff foil then slide in, wiggle and turn. The foil depresses as you wiggle and the spring fights back. The turning gets the pin bound open under tension. A bit of practice can get the lock open. The inner pins are all the same length so when you press them hard they deform the tool at the maximum depth, exposing the cut depth. Back off a little on the pressure and your 'key' is aligned.
When most locks on the channel are busted in seconds, it's honestly impressive as hell to see one hold out for a minute and a half.
This video reminded me that I forgot to lock my exterior basement door. Good timing!
i've heard of them multiple times, and I know nothing about locks
Cre I would delete your comment and add it ok again to get rid of this person spamming this channel with unrelated religion.
@@TheAnonyy just report the spammer
unfortunately it doesn't get rid of every comment they've made (I don't think it does anyway, I could be wrong) so you have to report each one manually
@@or_not_er it helps if everyone reports him, I have. Although I just ignore it though. Thanks anyway
Nice
The man continues to prove he’s a top get for your post apocalyptic questing party.
That took a good amount of time, I'd say that seems to be a better lock than most featured here.
That was tough! But even tougher is getting your washing machine's hatch open when the hatch is locked by the program. For some reason mine keeps my laundry locked for the last 10-15 minutes, while the machine does absolutely nothing... Or if you abort the program (!!).
Try "picking" a laundry machine's hatch. Can't be beat by a machine that eats dirty underwear!
Mine can be picked with a strong magnet. Just approach the magnet to the lock (inside the machine, not the door) and the machine will open.
The magnet will need to be rotated to the right way (N or S) depending on how the contraption works.
If it still doesn't work, then it's one unusual one that only uses heat instead of heat and metal. If that's so, you can try approaching some ice at the hottest spot near the door lock. It should reduce that time to 5 minutes or maybe even less.
@@brunoais That was new info for me about the locks. Thanks, I'll give it a try!
@@FuckYourselfTube Ur welcome
Every video needs to start ending with “we’ll leave the light on for you”
Good for them for learning from their mistakes, even when the original lock was still pretty good!
Well I watched too many of these, I ordered a pick set and it came today. I've now picked 3 locks already, it kind of surprised me how easy it was. I'm now reading the MIT lockpicking guide.
what do you think of the MIT guide? Any good? I got Deviant's book, that is how I got started. And Peterson... ;-)
For all it is worth, that is a nice lock.
I'm sure we all would like a video showing which locks we SHOULD buy. Maybe like a top 5 list? Although, it seems no lock is worthy for LPL.
I do believe that was some praise for the lock
Specialized tools- check
Skill- son of a .....
Back to brute force
High praises.
What? It took more than a minute for LPL to pick the lock? Give the lock manufacturer a diamond medal!!
That TV show must have been sponsored by a competitor!
Wow it took him more than a minute, that's a pretty good lock!
Long time ago I had one of these. I do recall how easy it was to inset the key and open the lock with the key. The lock got some sand, and I was able to easily dismantle it, clean it and went into service until I sold it, no fuss. When I had it open, I saw that you could try to jam the keyway , and by just inserting the key, you can remove the jam, and open the lock like nothing.
I’m always amazed at how easily your able to open 🔒 locks 🔐.
