Hi Harry, I was involved with testing this lock a few years ago. I was approached by a gentleman ( a little cagey ) with claims that the father of a friend of his in Western Australia invented the lock, it's pick proof? but would I test it before being released? It picked open fairly easy, and I wrote a report on it as requested. Additional keys would be difficult to obtain, not compatible with other locks, easy to pick etc.etc. Many months later he got back to me saying would I test the new version with security pins. I did so and it picked as in the video. I believe they were quite surprised, and although the web site remained, nothing more was heard. By the way, when the locking bolt is attached, picking it twice will fully retract the bolt. Regards Brian.
Wow. I though you might have heard of these, but didn't expect that... pretty cool that you got to play with the prototypes. The company definitely over-promised with the "pick proof" representations. As for the keys, I can see how that alone would be enough to scuttle the product.

That’s not a key that’s a sauce and onion unlocker because what’s the point of a lock if you don’t have a key and what’s the point of a Bunnings snag with out sauce and onions
Me being the nerd I am, I saw what the key looked like and immediately thought of the connector pins on the bottom of one of those old vacuum tubes you'd see in analog electronics.

I had this exact idea two days ago, lock with key with pins exactly like that (hotdog lock) but my idea is without need for rotating cylinder, that's obviously the weak link. Without rotating cylinder that will be real pick-proof lock. Interesting video and lock 👍
Wasn't well to go to Aus Lock Con 😵 but recently picked up two of these locks, boxed. one to keep and one to move one. Seems like a glorified tubular lock but it'll have a nice spot in my collection. Never seen these out in the field actually being used and only came across it from your video. Cheers 👌👍😎
This lock would be pretty simple to beat today. with a 3d printer you could make a shell to go inside the lock, insert some thick wires through the shell holes to pick each pin, and once it's done, fold the wire to make the key. No need to pick 6 times for the full rotation
to be real, a criminal don't want to spend lot of time picking a lock unless they are really serious about to harm you specifically. Soo a hard to pick lock is good to keep criminal from breaking into your home. not because its unpickable , because it will make them just give up and search for another target
LOVE your vids man you and Bosnianbill are the best I just got into picking recently still honing my skills just have a quick question for you - How long did it take you till you were happy with your skills and confident at attacking many kinds of locks? Cause I can't seem to be able to SPP worth shit
Thanks. I'm a BB fan as well. It's hard to answer your question... particularly since my results are not typical. That said, go back to some of my first videos, and watch them knowing that I had been picking for 4 months when I started this channel. But know that my progress reflects thousands of hours of practice.
I worked as security in hotels and residential apartments, locks were never an issue of someone breaking into them it was usually staff or residents just leaving locked doors open, residents would have cages to store property and they wouldn't secure them properly, most thieves are opportunists they will enter a door behind a resident or wait for a vehicle to enter or exit a secured car park and just walk in.
@baileyboss500gaming Different ppl have different ways of pronouncing words. For example, Australians outside the city, pronounce Melbourne "That backwards shithole".
I would think the main problem with this kind of lock, is the weakness of the key. those hot dogs will get damaged real quickly with the key in your pocket. you'de almost need a protective cover for it, but even then over time, they'll get bent.
Why does it need the collar? If it's for alignment, why not have an arrow engraved on the outer body that lines up with one on the key? That way the rotation is performed only by the key's "pins" and would make it very hard to tension for a picker. Unless I completely misunderstand the mechanism.
Perfect precursor to magnetic locking mechanism. Each pin could have a different polarity, and if I'm right it would require all pins from the key to complete the "magnetic field" to turn the core. Even easier to keep secure with electronic sensors as an added measure for security.
Would it be possible to make this lock without the slot that you used to tension? Instead making the keyway slightly oval shaped so it would be extremely difficult to tension?
Yes, it would be great if they could create some form of key alignment that made tensioning more difficult but ultimately you could always create some form of very thin tool that could grasp the internal cylinder to create tension while still giving access to the pinholes (more pins closer together would make this even more difficult) although anything that makes it more difficult to pick is always a benefit and a greater challenge.
I feel another way to approve this type of lock would be a tension plate that extruded where the key uses the groove to turn. Make a little slit that is tightly tensioned so only the key would be able to push it back in to turn it like a double lock
Phy I don't think it's the exact same lock; I think I see some differences in the engraving on the front. Can you confirm LPL? Probably similar "alien tech" inside, of course.
They’re diff locks; I made both. They share a lot of similarities, but they have different pinning setups, different keys, and pick rather differently too.
Awesome job Simon. Your last lock from long ago gave me quite a bit a trouble as well. Question -- the person who sent me this lock -- if I include a few items for you when I return it, will you get them?
So commenting on a 4yr old video to say been watching ur stuff here and there and have been really wanting to see you struggle with a lock because nothing seems to challenge you. Well seems like you just practice too much lol. I'll never get satisfaction! (Good stuff, keep up the good work!)
I started with street sweeper bristles, just check a parking lot after the street sweeper goes through. They worked pretty good. I upgraded last year to a couple different kits from China, probably going to get some higher quality picks soon. Better tools are making a huge difference.
I seen a lock simular to this year's back that had a shroud around the key pins (like yours) but the shroud was also keyed. You had to pick the key if you tried to steel it to open the lock. Assume this also prevented someone from taking a picture of the key.
Well not really that much pick resistant .. looks like 1 spool in there, and can you even have better access to pins ? All you need for pick resistance is good paracentric key-way, so you simply cannot get to pins with any tools .. lets face it, pickers on youtube pick locks which can be picked. If you want security, watch the videos with locks they couldn't pick :-)
Given it's design, I wonder why they didn't tension off the pins of the key itself. I know they still needed some way to align the key but it might have made picking even harder.
@@two_tier_gary_rumain my guess is so that the user would know which way to insert the key, without any clear indication that could be useful even in dark condition, this could be a frustrating experience to use
Hi LPL... I bought a Corbin solid brass padlock in the 70's at an antique shop and after using some Brasso polish it is a thing of beauty. It has a non chrome steel key and works flawlessly. If I send it to you can you send it back to me? Sometimes real old locks can be a challenge?? Love your work!
Seems like that key would be very easy to copy if you could get hold of it for even a few seconds. Stick it into a block of plasticine and you could measure the depths later in order to create your own copy. Cool lock, though.
I'm curious to see that gut of that challenge lock if it make you so much trouble. That hotdog lock is really cool. If it's rare then it appears to not be very successful ;-)
Yeah, that was exactly my thought when I checked out this video, and tried searching for the other lock without much luck. Maybe I'm not hunting hard enough.
Note from the Pedantic Police: Only foreigners pronounce it as "Mell-Born". For those wanting to sound more Down under, we Australians say it as "melburn" (note also the syllables are supposed to be run together, so as to avoid it sounding like 2 words - Mell Born - instead of one). Orright? 'gud onya, maaate!..
maybe u find a lock like these or kind of with a special feature. in addition to the pins the there is a metal tube around for each of the pins so u have to pick 12 / 2 at the same time

Love all your vids. Mechanical hacking at it's finest. 😁
Did you ever pick that lockwood lock on camera? Couldn’t find it browsing through your thumbnails.
Would it be possible to make this lock without the slot that you used to tension? Instead making the keyway slightly oval shaped so it would be extremely difficult to tension?
Yes, it would be great if they could create some form of key alignment that made tensioning more difficult but ultimately you could always create some form of very thin tool that could grasp the internal cylinder to create tension while still giving access to the pinholes (more pins closer together would make this even more difficult) although anything that makes it more difficult to pick is always a benefit and a greater challenge.
I feel another way to approve this type of lock would be a tension plate that extruded where the key uses the groove to turn. Make a little slit that is tightly tensioned so only the key would be able to push it back in to turn it like a double lock
Don't worry LPL -- Bill tried to get that padlock open 47 times over a week.
Phy I don't think it's the exact same lock; I think I see some differences in the engraving on the front. Can you confirm LPL?
Probably similar "alien tech" inside, of course.
They’re diff locks; I made both. They share a lot of similarities, but they have different pinning setups, different keys, and pick rather differently too.
Simon Klein Nice! Helluva job on them Simon!
Awesome job Simon. Your last lock from long ago gave me quite a bit a trouble as well. Question -- the person who sent me this lock -- if I include a few items for you when I return it, will you get them?
Sure would, provided you label is so he doesn’t knick it. :P
Good idea. (:
Looks like a recessed van lock
You can pick it between positions then you use a tubular pick to impression a key to avoid consecutive picks
Where is the ozlockcon lock video?! I can't handle the suspense!

So commenting on a 4yr old video to say been watching ur stuff here and there and have been really wanting to see you struggle with a lock because nothing seems to challenge you.
Well seems like you just practice too much lol. I'll never get satisfaction! (Good stuff, keep up the good work!)
On that Lockwood, i watched Mr.Bill struggle picking It. it was a tough one.
It's a different lock, but the same maker.
several australians were eviscerated upon hearing you say melbourne
hotdog lock... gotta protect those bunnings snags
Lpl should do a live video of him picking all of his locks during new year
The wiper blade advertisment at the beginning of this video has me howlin. Im currently picking with pics made from wiper blades. Great marketing
I started with street sweeper bristles, just check a parking lot after the street sweeper goes through. They worked pretty good. I upgraded last year to a couple different kits from China, probably going to get some higher quality picks soon. Better tools are making a huge difference.
The australian one looks like the chinese XPUZMAG, the one that looks like bathtub drain.
A bit... also like the VAN lock.
As soon as I saw the key, I was like: "What the hell does this plug into? Your dog?"
THE WAY HE SAID “uh oh” IM DYING
I seen a lock simular to this year's back that had a shroud around the key pins (like yours) but the shroud was also keyed. You had to pick the key if you tried to steel it to open the lock. Assume this also prevented someone from taking a picture of the key.
nice to see a lock with actual pick resistance after all the gun junk
I kinda like the gun lock videos. But it is true, they all are junk.
Well not really that much pick resistant .. looks like 1 spool in there, and can you even have better access to pins ?
All you need for pick resistance is good paracentric key-way, so you simply cannot get to pins with any tools .. lets face it, pickers on youtube pick locks which can be picked. If you want security, watch the videos with locks they couldn't pick :-)
Thanks... and a agree this lock wasn't all that impressive. That said, it would take quite a while to pick it a full rotation.
Given it's design, I wonder why they didn't tension off the pins of the key itself. I know they still needed some way to align the key but it might have made picking even harder.
@@two_tier_gary_rumain my guess is so that the user would know which way to insert the key, without any clear indication that could be useful even in dark condition, this could be a frustrating experience to use
Had heard of them and seen a picture but this is the first time I've seen one in " real" life video Thank you for sharing
So, first time I see you get unlocky with one.
Hi LPL... I bought a Corbin solid brass padlock in the 70's at an antique shop and after using some Brasso polish it is a thing of beauty. It has a non chrome steel key and works flawlessly. If I send it to you can you send it back to me? Sometimes real old locks can be a challenge?? Love your work!
Just curious but what the hell does this lock even lock? Lol
Your personal integrity
@@ausintune9014 lmao
Hotdogs
Used to be used on coke machines
doors or vending machines
Imagine staying up late and u hear hear "a click on 3"
Gold!
Love how Americans say Melbourne we pronounce it melben not melborn
Seems like a great lock for picking. All the pins are readily accessible.
mel-bern not melbourne im austrailaian trust me
wow im a aussie and ive never seen of herd of that look or oz lock
verry impressed
keep the vids coming mate
Did you ever manage to open the challenge lock? I can’t find a vid on it
Look up vid 1054
Almost 7 minutes on the video length. This thing did better than most of the locks featured on the channel.
Convinced this guy guy can pick a Nuclear Missile silo
During the cold war, all nuclear codes were set to 00000000
You still needed the keys though.
@@jsporish And I'm pretty sure that was just the minuteman silos.
" I've got a click on one , two is binding, three is ready, codes are clear , here we go."
Seems like that key would be very easy to copy if you could get hold of it for even a few seconds. Stick it into a block of plasticine and you could measure the depths later in order to create your own copy. Cool lock, though.
0:38 Is that sarcasm? I call sarcasm lol
Nah that's just how the logo looks
Is the indentation necessary to spin the lock? the tension could come from the pins itself.. it would be even harder to pick
As a Aussie, I've never seen one of those locks here!!!
They were only made for a few years, and it doesn't look like they really took off.
They were on almost all coke vending machines at one point
Hot dog lock looks like if it was easier to tension it would be a good beginners lock. All the pins are easily accessible individually.
I'm curious to see that gut of that challenge lock if it make you so much trouble. That hotdog lock is really cool. If it's rare then it appears to not be very successful ;-)
Hopefully I'll bring you that lock soon.
have you managed to pick that lock yet?
Yeah, that was exactly my thought when I checked out this video, and tried searching for the other lock without much luck. Maybe I'm not hunting hard enough.
Bosnian Bill picked it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/HHRuQr2f7WM/v-deo.html
We all should use this challenge-locks^^
When he cant open it, a normal thief will never be able to open it^^
A normal thief would use a bolt cutter.
not if they intend to go unnoticed, and thats a pretty good size shackle too
Came here thinking I'd finally found a lock to keep my hotdogs safe, disappointed....
Note from the Pedantic Police:
Only foreigners pronounce it as "Mell-Born". For those wanting to sound more Down under, we Australians say it as "melburn" (note also the syllables are supposed to be run together, so as to avoid it sounding like 2 words - Mell Born - instead of one). Orright? 'gud onya, maaate!..
"Melboorne"
Heheheh
URGH!!!
It's pronounced "Mel-burn" damnit haha
@@TheGreeny3003 you could loose the r in that to get Mel-bun our r's are a bit softer than our American friends.
in rural victoria we are even lazier. its Mel-bn
@@DIY_Miracle what? are you saying people call Melbourne "melba" and also bugger off rural victoria is great, we're the cool kids
@@DIY_Miracle ahh, cant say im familiar with it sorry. also, nice
maybe u find a lock like these or kind of with a special feature. in addition to the pins the there is a metal tube around for each of the pins so u have to pick 12 / 2 at the same time
As an Australian I feel like I must tell you that It's pronounced "Mell-ben" not "mell-born"
As a Brit, I would have to concur though more of a "Mell-bun"
As a Melbourne resident I can confidently say it’s Mel-b’n.
As a New South Welshman, I can enjoy tellimg you it's pronounced "shithole"
@@wufongtanwufong5579 As a Queenslander I agree with the New South Welshman.
Rare praise, and rarer failure on the first lock that was put aside.
LPL us human after all.
