Thank you for all your content. I picked my first lock today. I bought one of the lock pick sets from Banggood you reviewed. This one came with the acrylic padlock which probably opens if you glare at it too hard but with bottom of the key way tension and a hook of unknown size I was able to get it open. And I'm able to get it open reliably now without looking at the mechanism. Thanks again. I would have never thought about lock picking without your videos.
Great video as always, lots of information. I'd like to see you rebuild a lock that you have gutted, I'm assuming you do put them back together, I get the impression that it's a lot more tricky than taking them apart.
I keep watching these videos hoping to one day find a lock that doesn't just fall apart when you glance at it from across the room, so that I know what decent lock to buy when I need one. You make picking these things look way too easy.
hey LPL, I have an idea: see if you can get a suction-cup microphone and attach it to locks as you pick them. metal carries sound very well, so maybe you could discover even faster picking methods. Audio feedback may allow you to distinguish binding pins from false sets, etc. Plus if you amplify and mix the audio well, it should come through in the video for all of your viewers.
That is funny, that is me also. I had always wanted to get into it. I had heard from another person that the picking of locks would destroy it. So I never did. Then started to watch LPL and found out how non destructive it is. He is a really good teacher.....
@@pagedeveloper You must still be careful and follow the rule of thumb, never pick a lock that is in use or that you rely upon. It can cause mechanisms to malfunction in unexpected ways, sometimes.
That exposed screw seems like a rather massive design oversight, but, when locked, the shackle is still held in by the locking mechanism. I do like the ability to use literally any euro profile lock.
Its not rocket science to pick locks legally as hobby when get hang of it. Once got the hang of how different locks work. Everything becomes easier to pick
And like he said, get a high security core and you'll make this lock difficult to pick even for the likes of LPL. No telling that the Ramset won't crack it though.

Your videos inspired me to take up locksport. Unfortunately, this happened right before I left for study abroad, so it was a decision I was unable to act on. However, my kit is already waiting for me (Sparrows Tuxedo Night School, because my stepmother went way overboard) and I've got three weeks until I can start practicing. I cannot wait to get into this. I'm a naturally fidgety person, so having something so precise to do with my hands should help me a lot with focusing, as well as just being fun.
Very interesting lock-concept! What I particularly like about it, is the fact, that one could use any standard euro-core inside! Speaking of which - dear lockpicking lawyer - which core would you consider the go-to best choice for pick-proofing your house and garden-shed? I want to have the same key for house-door, shed-door and garage. So I would need a very secure and preferrably non-pickable core. I thought of the EVVA 3KS for a while but to my surprise it has been picked several times on UA-cam already. Please up-vote so he sees this comment, since I think his suggestion of a very secure and hard to Pick core might be in the interest of more people then just me.
You never cease to amaze me with your knowledge and picking abilities! Have a few questions. 1- What camera do you use for your videos? It's very clear and very detailed, also zooms well and focuses quick. 2- Has there or is there a lock you just can't seem to pick? No matter how often you've tried? Thanks, and keep up the great videos!
I am amazed how quick you can get into locks, obviously though if this was on a shipping container it would be a lot more awkward to pick open, by that time a thief would be caught.
Makes a lock body that's harder to twist break. Leaves one of the most commonly used screws completely exposed, which can be removed without unlocking the core, holding the shackle in.
some of these locks are so beefy I expect to see a cowboy trying to herd them. Though if I had a shipping container full of flat screens id spend the bucks to get the best and beefyist.
I put an E60 in my garage door, blimey Harry made it look easy to pick. Took me a few attempts, the warding is rather awkward. Although truth be told the Lock Picking Lawyer is *somewhat* more skilled than I am. I actually used a top of keyway prybar and one of the Sparrows SSDEV hooks in 15 thou.
@@WhiteHatMatt it refers to when the profile of the key way does not form a straight line from top to bottom, through the centre of the lock (which makes picking the lock harder because you have less space to work with) i have a lock for example which i am unable to pick to this day, because the paracentric key way, combined with extremely tight tolerances, makes it so tight that i can't even get my smallest pick in there, i can reach the first pin and that's it.

Aww I was kinda hoping you'd disassemble the lock body properly. With the core being so readily switchable, I didn't honestly see the value in crackin' it open - the interesting thing about this lock for sure seemed like the spin-a-muh-thing.
Hi, love the channel, you're one of my niche youtubers and I always your content when I want something interesting to listen to! Suggestion, this is the first time I've watched you talk about pins which are "mushroomed" maybe you could do a video on the different types of pin and their pros and cons against picking?
Apparently, the best way into a container is to bribe the stacker to put a container with a trapdoor base, to which you already have access - on top of the target container. Then all (ALL) you need to do is cut through the roof of the target container and help yourself to the contents. This is best done in a quiet corner of the docks or at sea. You only get to do it once ;))
Don't know how I found this channel but it's been a really good addition to my subscription feed to just learn different things about locks every day. Anyways, do you have a suggestion for a good lock to put on pelican cases?
Did I miss something? It seems like a massive design flaw to have the shackle come out by removing one screw accessable from the outside of the lock...
The pin does nothing when the lock is locked, it's just a retaining pin for when it's unlocked. The shackle is held by the locking mechanism when the lock is locked.
@@joshuarosen6242 seems like an opportunity for a practical joke. Take that screw out, have your friend open the lock, laugh when the lock body smashes their foot.
I'm watching your videos because I'm researching the best security to protect my "pressious bullions" and from your videos I understand that locks or safes don't work atoll, possibly the best "SAFE" is outside and away from your home, bury your stuff in a barn or somewhere that will be almost impossible for a thief to find
I'm not sure I get this, with the lock closed you use the Allen screw to remove the shackle and the whole lock came apart, why father to pick the lock?
You sometimes note pins and other features that offer drill protection. Have you already made a video showcasing how effective those are? Drilling/core pulling has become common enough that the Dutch police made a warning video about it, so I became curious how much such features help against that attack.
I'm probably being dumb, but here we go: 1. What's stopping someone from dismantleing the shackle when it's locked on something? 2. You mentioned all the different pins inside the lock, T-pin, drill-pin, shackle etc, what are the differences these provide?
You could take out the hex screw but the shackle is still locked by the locking mechanism. And the different pins makes it so much harder to pick. LPL makes it look ridiculously easy. He is probably the best picker on the youtubes. It would take me half an hour to open that lock.
Shackle would be held by the locking mechanism before its able to be pulled out Different pins make it harder on picking the lock open or provide other features against drilling
The different pins are for protection against picking , the " drill pins " as you put it are anti-drill pins , they are stainless steel which is much harder to drill though so it is an extra measure against that
1. The pin he removed that held the shackle in is just a retainer pin when the shackle is open. The shackle is held secure by ball bearings on either side of the lock so removing that pin would make no difference, you would still have to pick or defeat the core in some way.
Not really, since the Allen screw in the side is only there to keep the shackle in while the lock is open. When it's locked, the locking lugs hold it on both sides.
You have some excellent content in here. Can you please make a video on the best locks available in the range of 15-50 Dollars? Would really appreciate if you do so. Thanks.
I have resisted saying it for a while now but dammit, you sound like my old Dentist Mr Simms who I visited as a kid. You even have the same tone, that cold quiet confidence of getting the job done. Its eerie. 😑🙃
It looks like it was intended to be the same spring, but has a variation in the manufacturing, is slightly damaged, or has been over-compressed. If you count the number of turns of wire you'll see it's the same number as the others.
"This is the LockPickingLawyer and I'm here at the docks with Bosnian Bill and our generic henchmen. We've identified these high value shipping containers by their use of the RotaLok I've previously featured. Today we will be profiting right after a click out of two, nothing on three, four is binding, small click out of five, nothing on six... back to one... and it seems we have the shipping container opened. Looks like there are several cases of high priced whiskey, some beer, and oooohhh someone is shipping their Lamborghini! Guess I'm riding home in style. That's all I have for you today. And remember, everyone wear your masks and stay safe out there."
Interesting key pins. DOM uses them for decades, so ABUS finaly uses them too. I wonder a bit about the ABUS core, it's a snapped euro cylinder like made by an amateur :)
a very close look at those springs, they seem to have somewhat varying lengths, especially notable in the springs in 5 and 6. i do believe that though the springs are of similar material, the springs in varying length would be enough to prohibit against bump style attacks. honestly when it comes to some of this stuff, there is a theory vs reality, and i'd like to see a demonstration of bumping this lock with its varied length springs, vs all standard length/material springs. SPPing this lock, i'm unsure of that minimal difference in spring tension would matter, but i'm pretty convinced it has an anti bump feature. any further ides, i'd like to know!
Great video, as usual. I think I watched another LPL vid about a round bodied lock, used on shipping containers. Didn't hear you mention that in the video, or see a link.
So what stops you from just using a normal Allen wrench to open the lock normally instead of picking or breaking it? Do those initial screws only become available as the lock isopen, or am I missing something? Thank you for all of the great videos, and thanks to anybody nice enough to answer!

I would request a further explanation of the various pin designs and their intended purposes. Thanks as always.
I too would like to know what the purpose of the different pins does.
All of the designs try to achive the same thing: catch and lock itself so the guy trying to pick can't decide if he got it or nah. Mushroom pins catch when you push them too much, serrated pins catch if you move then around too much while pushing etc.
EDIT:T pins catch when you are trying to push them up and rotated the cylinder too much
I guess most viewers know and we are left out. We could however, research the thing; but what best than to get the info directly from the LPL himself.

Watching these videos make me want to become a locksmith.
You should make a how to video for beginner lockpickers. Just the basics and maybe even a quick tool tutorial on what kind of tools to use. Thanks!
He can only put out so much information or else He becomes a training channel for crooks.
If this guys voice wasn’t as smooth as velvet I wouldn’t give a fuck about the rotalock.
Very satisfying to hear those pins click out...
Did I miss something? It seems like a massive design flaw to have the shackle come out by removing one screw accessable from the outside of the lock...
I thought the same. Did he not lock the shackle entirely, and the screw cannot be removed if the shackle is fully locked? I'm not sure either.
I'm sure the shackle is only removable when it is unlocked.
The pin does nothing when the lock is locked, it's just a retaining pin for when it's unlocked. The shackle is held by the locking mechanism when the lock is locked.
Removing that screw doesn't do anything unless the padlock is unlocked.
@@joshuarosen6242 seems like an opportunity for a practical joke. Take that screw out, have your friend open the lock, laugh when the lock body smashes their foot.
I'm watching your videos because I'm researching the best security to protect my "pressious bullions" and from your videos I understand that locks or safes don't work atoll, possibly the best "SAFE" is outside and away from your home, bury your stuff in a barn or somewhere that will be almost impossible for a thief to find
Beautiful lock my friend would love to own one .😎
I'm not sure I get this, with the lock closed you use the Allen screw to remove the shackle and the whole lock came apart, why father to pick the lock?
You sometimes note pins and other features that offer drill protection. Have you already made a video showcasing how effective those are?
Drilling/core pulling has become common enough that the Dutch police made a warning video about it, so I became curious how much such features help against that attack.
I think LPL has shown slide hammers, small screw vises with wedges in them, and possibly even some pulling attack using a screw.
I'm probably being dumb, but here we go:
1. What's stopping someone from dismantleing the shackle when it's locked on something?
2. You mentioned all the different pins inside the lock, T-pin, drill-pin, shackle etc, what are the differences these provide?
Good question, I was wondering the same thing. What are the differences between these pins and why is it good to use a variety of different pins?
You could take out the hex screw but the shackle is still locked by the locking mechanism. And the different pins makes it so much harder to pick. LPL makes it look ridiculously easy. He is probably the best picker on the youtubes. It would take me half an hour to open that lock.
Shackle would be held by the locking mechanism before its able to be pulled out
Different pins make it harder on picking the lock open or provide other features against drilling
The different pins are for protection against picking , the " drill pins " as you put it are anti-drill pins , they are stainless steel which is much harder to drill though so it is an extra measure against that
1. The pin he removed that held the shackle in is just a retainer pin when the shackle is open. The shackle is held secure by ball bearings on either side of the lock so removing that pin would make no difference, you would still have to pick or defeat the core in some way.
Beautiful lock. Very cool pinning. But of course you spanked it again. Great pick!
I love that he continues with the video after it is demonstrated that you can defeat the lock with an Allen wrench set, sae or imperial not stated
Not really, since the Allen screw in the side is only there to keep the shackle in while the lock is open. When it's locked, the locking lugs hold it on both sides.
You have some excellent content in here. Can you please make a video on the best locks available in the range of 15-50 Dollars? Would really appreciate if you do so. Thanks.

Bosnianbill did a great video explaining the best padlocks at various price points. ua-cam.com/video/nsJZ_kKjXcE/v-deo.html
Herbert Wingfield I know right?
@Herbert Wingfield
Its really not a bad lock. Its tougher than 99% of what anyone will put it on.
I have resisted saying it for a while now but dammit, you sound like my old Dentist Mr Simms who I visited as a kid. You even have the same tone, that cold quiet confidence of getting the job done. Its eerie. 😑🙃
That last (6th) spring looks shorter than others.
Also, how about a new name for the strange looking pins? Rocket pin? Missile pin?
Yep, I started to comment on that, but see you noticed too.
It looks like it was intended to be the same spring, but has a variation in the manufacturing, is slightly damaged, or has been over-compressed. If you count the number of turns of wire you'll see it's the same number as the others.
"This is the LockPickingLawyer and I'm here at the docks with Bosnian Bill and our generic henchmen. We've identified these high value shipping containers by their use of the RotaLok I've previously featured. Today we will be profiting right after a click out of two, nothing on three, four is binding, small click out of five, nothing on six... back to one... and it seems we have the shipping container opened. Looks like there are several cases of high priced whiskey, some beer, and oooohhh someone is shipping their Lamborghini! Guess I'm riding home in style. That's all I have for you today. And remember, everyone wear your masks and stay safe out there."
Interesting key pins. DOM uses them for decades, so ABUS finaly uses them too. I wonder a bit about the ABUS core, it's a snapped euro cylinder like made by an amateur :)
Keymaster It’s REALLY common for people to snap cylinders to set these up.
It's Bill's pinning tray, yay!
a very close look at those springs, they seem to have somewhat varying lengths, especially notable in the springs in 5 and 6. i do believe that though the springs are of similar material, the springs in varying length would be enough to prohibit against bump style attacks. honestly when it comes to some of this stuff, there is a theory vs reality, and i'd like to see a demonstration of bumping this lock with its varied length springs, vs all standard length/material springs.
SPPing this lock, i'm unsure of that minimal difference in spring tension would matter, but i'm pretty convinced it has an anti bump feature. any further ides, i'd like to know!
Got to love the longer videos. 🥰
Niiiice lock. Could use one of those on my sheet-metal tool shed.
Lol I imagine you make a lot of people mad with those skills.
Great video, as usual. I think I watched another LPL vid about a round bodied lock, used on shipping containers. Didn't hear you mention that in the video, or see a link.
Cheeses man! The lock manufacturers must love you!
So what stops you from just using a normal Allen wrench to open the lock normally instead of picking or breaking it?
Do those initial screws only become available as the lock isopen, or am I missing something?
Thank you for all of the great videos, and thanks to anybody nice enough to answer!
Great new video, first time I've seen your personalised tray, then again, I am new to your channel, it looks good!
You never fail to amaze me, way to go.
Lock picking lawyer I see no videos of you picking abloy padlocks, please have a video of abloy someday. You are the best picker in the world.
Beautiful padlock!
Very nicely picked my friend, Great video
Yes, a nice variety of different security pins in that lock - still had little effect on LPL!
#toocoolforskool great picking, was expecting standard pins as you made it look so easy👍
If a criminal saw a lock like that they would know it’s holding something expensive.
