I love how product liability has become such a joke that it’s fine to advertise something as appropriate for a purpose and then put a warning on the product that says it isn’t for that purpose. Amazon really needs some regulatory smack down.
@@dragonlogos1 yeah, but Amazon should still be able to decide what stores/products they host or not. I mean there's some genuinely dangerous things you can get from Amazon. Like radioactive stuff, as an example
@@dragonlogos1 Amazon is a *major* contributor to the problem through the policies they implement and force on sellers. Their lack of enforcement against bad behavior and financial punishment of more legitimate businesses (through absurd return and customer retention policies) have sparked a race to the bottom that encourages the cheapest, often most dangerous products to the top. They have a clear financial incentive to keep up this bad behavior, as they are getting a cut of every sale and negative responses to products on their site (either through reviews or consumer reporting) cut into those sales. Louis Rossmann has done a pretty detailed take-down of Amazon through several videos, and it is a must watch for anyone who has a Prime account so you can make an informed decision on if it is worth it to you to continue paying for the service. It is also important to know that you cannot depend on most products from Amazon for safety. Basically everything they sell will fail to meed advertised specifications as they rely on the buyers to do QA for all their products. It is cheaper for them to mail out replacements to the few consumers who complain than to make sure everyone gets products that meet specifications. Buyer beware.

There is zero excuse for this, a simple logic circuit that would stop the code change button from functioning if the thing is locked is all it takes to fix it, even if you can reach the button it wouldn't do anything.
I am willing to bet it's by design, and it's basically a suggested workaround in case you forget the combination, and want to open it anyway. As for your suggestion, it might be easier to protect the button with something, making it impossible to reach.
Last digital lock I had like this needed you to press the button, enter the current code, then press the button again, enter the new code, and press the button the final time to save. It was an annoying process, but it worked and requiring you to enter the current code to change it feels like the bare minimum effort you should put in.
They could also just you know, position the reset button in a better spot like in the inner wall making it excessively hard to push using a wire from outside

They can spin this as a feature: "Forgot your combination? No problem! Just insert one end of an unfolded paperclip and PRESTO, you can change the combination!"
I have a sentry firesafe. For some unknown reason, the nutters at Sentry put a combination lock and an Ace key on it. All it needed was a simple spring latch. It's a fireproof box. It's not robust enough to be an actual safe.
Honestly, they're both in the same section of the market where quality is less important than price point and shelf space (or in this case, showing at the top of Amazon results).
After watching your channel for years, I've come to the conclusion that if a thief, who's watched your channel, ever comes to my house to steal anything, my valuables would be safer hidden in a flower pot than in any safe or place secured by a lock. Keep up the great videos.
Get a safe like that, inside put a trollface with note "do U think I'm that stupid?" and any thief will be confused enough. They may even leave, because they will feel that something weird is going on.
Silver lining, most of the things he notes about lock failures have to do with skilled or knowledge based weaknesses. Things thieves generally lack. Glass windows on the ground floor are a bigger weakness than the security level of your deadbolt.

Speaking as someone that lost THOUSANDS of dollars slowly over the course of a year to the non-electronic key based Sentry Safe, where the thief just went out and bought their own, and they keys it comes with work on any of the same model safes, YEAH, I have to agree.
Use an opaque Tupperware container, label it Spare Computer Cables, and put it on an upper shelf. Thieves can amuse themselves stealing the portable safe instead.
I can see that this safe was designed with cost heavily in mind. 1. The control logic is probably very simple: * If the user inputs the PIN matching the stored PIN, activate the latch release. Add timeout to clear ongoing PIN entry in case PIN entry reattempt is necessary for legitimate user. This safe doesn't seem to have a door open / close switch. If so, it doesn't know if the door is opened / closed and it doesn't care either. * If the user presses the program button, accept the upcoming PIN input, store the user input as new PIN. With the simple logic, you can significantly reduce controller development and controller cost. I hope this safe has a retry timeout logic to prevent bruteforce attempts. 2. The program button is likely edge mounted on the PCB that's facing the membrane buttons. You might notice how close the program button is in relation to the PIN keys. Running wires to locate the button in a more secure location increases parts / labor cost. 3. There are only 5 keys rather than 10 keys for the PIN entry. Fewer keys means less cost for membrane keys. Each of the keys are labeled with two decimal digits to give the illusion of support of 0-9 digits for PIN. There are 5 ^ 6 or 15625 possible PINs. A four digit PIN would only yield 5 ^ 4 or 625 possible PINs.

@@Merennulli It is a distinct possibility that cats don't keep pet people precisely because they don't have range weapons.
They can spin this as a feature:
"Forgot your combination? No problem! Just insert one end of an unfolded paperclip and PRESTO, you can change the combination!"
And then sell the "paperclip" for an additional $15...😅😂
@@drath5679 right... but they have to call the paperclip something like an "emergency access tool".
I have a sentry firesafe. For some unknown reason, the nutters at Sentry put a combination lock and an Ace key on it. All it needed was a simple spring latch. It's a fireproof box. It's not robust enough to be an actual safe.
Seems reasonable to put a lock on it. It deters casual snooping, which is not nothing.
@@beeble2003 Then a masterlock on a hasp and loop is more than adequate. The combination lock is just bloody pretentious.
You know it’s bad when LPL puts a “🔒👈😂” in the thumbnail.
Bad as in good, right?
But yes.
Me here 8 mins after watching Works By Design vid to see if LPL got it yet....🤓🤓
Since SentrySafe is a subsidiary of Masterlock we all know what this REALLY is... an attempt to make Masterlock look better by comparison.
Honestly, they're both in the same section of the market where quality is less important than price point and shelf space (or in this case, showing at the top of Amazon results).
After watching your channel for years, I've come to the conclusion that if a thief, who's watched your channel, ever comes to my house to steal anything, my valuables would be safer hidden in a flower pot than in any safe or place secured by a lock. Keep up the great videos.
The safe could probably still be useful for a bit of misdirection, could buy you an extra 7 or 8 seconds.
Get a safe like that, inside put a trollface with note "do U think I'm that stupid?" and any thief will be confused enough. They may even leave, because they will feel that something weird is going on.
@@simonspacek3670 Or have a locked smaller safe inside. Repeat as far as possible. Keep the thief busy lol.
Silver lining, most of the things he notes about lock failures have to do with skilled or knowledge based weaknesses. Things thieves generally lack. Glass windows on the ground floor are a bigger weakness than the security level of your deadbolt.
@@thepiperpie I rebuilt my entry locks with a couple dollars worth of parts and some minutes of my time. I could buy Military Secure facility grade Medico locks, but that would be dumb. I have windows, and the walls are just plywood and sheetrock.
Waiting for you to pick the lock by "works by design" unpickable lock
2 days ago "Works by Design" posted a video on a lock he made, one was sent to you! I can't wait to see how you handle this one
"I'd consider this lock design malpractice, were there such a thing." I guess he's saying that laws governing implied warranty don't apply here. Sounds like a video subject for LegalEagle, because I'd sure like to see the topic covered in depth.
It might be a fun legal discussion but LegalEagle is only worth watching if you want to explain how he gets the law wrong.
That would be one helluva collab!
Warranty isn't really LegalEagle's domain. If you wanna see a collab on that, get Steve Lehto on it.
@@quelrodsHow does LegalEagle get the law wrong?
@@gw6667 try searching for what LegalEagle gets wrong? I remember three different attorneys all making videos regarding one of his. Most of lawtube just tries to forget he exists unless it's completely egregious
Guess he ran out of locks to pick
Meanwhile at MasterLock; “Phew! That’s not one of ours! Oh, wait a moment, we own Sentry 😫”
this actually explains.. well, everything
👀
Yo thanks to you I got into my neighbors safe and took all their money and jewelry while they were on vacation your videos have help me so much with other locks too like all the storage units at the place I rent one from. Found a lot of cool stuff in all the units. Thank you for teaching us
I'm here waiting for the new lock from locks by design.
It's a step up from the "push the locking lug aside with a lockpick" I was expecting.
Looking forward to see you pick the Works by desing lock
this channel proves you dont need a 10min intro 10min talk about the item making a short video 20min like most people do, straight to the point. Love that, keep up the lock picking!
And, don't forget that he has quiet videos, and by that I mean, no music is played while is narrating the video.
@@bikeny i know what you means dude lol short sweet and to the point
@@bikeny WTF is it with people putting music behind all their vids? It's most great when they have the voice at 80 db and the music at 89db. WTF did he just say?
Speaking as someone that lost THOUSANDS of dollars slowly over the course of a year to the non-electronic key based Sentry Safe, where the thief just went out and bought their own, and they keys it comes with work on any of the same model safes, YEAH, I have to agree.
The latest unpickable lock designer UA-cam channel has dropped. Cant wait to see you pick it!!!
So a tupperware container with elastic bands around it would be harder to get in to.
depends on the number of rubber bands XD
Did you ever accidentally snap yourself with the elastic while taking it off? Ouch!
Use an opaque Tupperware container, label it Spare Computer Cables, and put it on an upper shelf. Thieves can amuse themselves stealing the portable safe instead.
I wonder how he'll do against the lock from "Works By Design"
Just came here from his video to see if he has tried it
Where has the LockPickingLawyer gone??
Still busy picking the unpickable lock
I can see that this safe was designed with cost heavily in mind.
1. The control logic is probably very simple:
* If the user inputs the PIN matching the stored PIN, activate the latch release. Add timeout to clear ongoing PIN entry in case PIN entry reattempt is necessary for legitimate user.
This safe doesn't seem to have a door open / close switch. If so, it doesn't know if the door is opened / closed and it doesn't care either.
* If the user presses the program button, accept the upcoming PIN input, store the user input as new PIN.
With the simple logic, you can significantly reduce controller development and controller cost. I hope this safe has a retry timeout logic to prevent bruteforce attempts.
2. The program button is likely edge mounted on the PCB that's facing the membrane buttons. You might notice how close the program button is in relation to the PIN keys. Running wires to locate the button in a more secure location increases parts / labor cost.
3. There are only 5 keys rather than 10 keys for the PIN entry. Fewer keys means less cost for membrane keys.
Each of the keys are labeled with two decimal digits to give the illusion of support of 0-9 digits for PIN. There are 5 ^ 6 or 15625 possible PINs. A four digit PIN would only yield 5 ^ 4 or 625 possible PINs.
@LockPickingLawyer I hope all is well. I look forward to your next video.
who came to the channel too see if he picked the lock from work by design
Me
Me too
Right here lol
Same lol
How thoughtful of them to chamfer the opening of the reset hole.
‘Works by design’ just made an ‘unpickable lock’ and they are sending it to you. It looks pretty tough, good luck….
Waiting line ⬇for the Unpickable lock from works by design.
Thank you bro
Try to pick works by designs lock
Video under three minutes, going to be more of the usual!
Can't wait to see you take on the new Works By Design 'Unpickable' Lock
Anyone else waiting for him to pick the MadeByDesign unpickable lock??
lets see your true skills picking
Works By Design lock :P
"Hello. This is the LockPickingLawyer. Today we would be cracking Fort Knox, with a paperclip."
It's so amazing that products like this are even designed!
Equal Employment Opportunity. Unqualified people risen to above their level of ability. Lock design, computer programmers, persons elected to govern you, ....
they figure more people would be mad at not being able to get in the safe after they forgot their code than would be mad when LPL breaks in and steals all their docs
It's mainly for fire protection, but strill, this is such an unnecessary flaw.
@@BL-yj2wp if the box is in a serious fire, how do those buttons and electronics fair?
@@bermchasin
Doesn‘t matter, it‘s fairly easy to break open.
I suspect that it is too small and thin to keep its contents cool enough for a longer period anyway.
The locks from the channel "WORKS BY DESIGN". Nothing further your honour.
Looking forward to the works by design lock.
"Works By Design" is supposed to be sending you a "pick proof" lock he made.
I told him that if you can't pick it, then it's pick proof.
Please, please, please do the works by design unpickqble lock.
Please test out the works by design lock.
heh, LPL has been avoiding a lock by Andy Pugh since 2021, i doubt he will be testing new locks
who came from "works by design"?
excited when he will show the "works by design lock"🎉
Hope the lock by works by design is a challenge
Have you received the Works by Design unpickable lock? Im really excited to see that video
We need the Works By Design lock picked please!
Sentry....This should be a comical one lol
They should put looney tunes sticker on it
Sentry is a brand that sells at Staples. Ever buy an office chair at Staples? It's all the usual mediocre consumer products.
@@TesserId It's worse, they're a division of MasterLock.
@@cool110 I wasn't sure if you were joking or not. Google informs me that you are not. It all makes sense now - it's almost like MasterLock go out of their way to make crappy products 🤣
Forced Sentry?
I check in on this channel once every couple years. Very glad to see that absolutely nothing has changed. Love you Mr. LPL
Roommate bought me one years ago as a gift. You can literally just press down on it and lift quickly. Opens right up.
LPL! Have you gotten the "unpickable" lock from Works By Design yet? 😅
I'm so curious what you think. Even though I have a sneaky suspicion you'll finesse that lock, _somehow._ ^^
Where are you ? You need to try picking the unpickavle lock.
Wow, that certainly is lock design malpractice! They should be ashamed of themselves for this one. Thanks for bringing this issue to light! 🥰😍😘
Eh, the one where there is a easily removed handle still beats this in ease of access. :P
Every time LPL adds a laughing smile at the thumbnail I know that there`s going to be a 3 seconds opening.
I'm sure the thought was "no one will download the instructions online to know how to change the code if they don't own it". Because lock designers are designing a lock, not thwarting those who'd open a lock.
Jeebus, it would be trivial to have a sliding metal plate pushed over while opened that would cover the reset port, blocking a paperclip attack. Sad to see Clippy fired by Microsoft led into a life of crime..
Like button if you are here from from Works by Design’s “Making another pickproof lock (but better)” video 🔐❌
Did you receive that unpickable lock from works by design? Still waiting for your trial
Naysayers Harumph!!
All great personalities need a Foil!
What would LPL be without SentrySafe? Or MasterLock?
Jack Benny? Rochester.
Johnny Carson? Ed McMahon.
You get the idea.
Your channel's continued prosperity is not only a sign that burglary is as popular as yesteryear, but mostly that your amazing content continues serving the customer and forcing companies to do the same.
Cabt wait for you to test that dudes lock
I hope you do works by design lock soon
Imagine being product manager of this safe and watching this video...
They don't care.
These companies have been spitting out useless trash for decades.
I believe they just don't care, if they did then this video would just not exist
LPL: "It is clear very little thought went into this product"
Sentry PM: Uh, what's that supposed to mean?
@frialreevus971 they didn't care about it when they designed it so yeah I don't see why they would care now.
I bought my gun safe (VAULTEK) after watching your videos. Thanks for reviewing so many locks.
I know the bulk of your videos are what locks not to buy. Occasionally you come out with a “not bad” or “ok for use” one.
