Funny thing about it is that Yale is owned by Assa Abloy, so they could have potentially chosen any of several much higher security cam locks from their parts bins for the backup, but they went the Harbor Freight Safe route instead.
@Martin Baldwin-Edwards I am saying sourcing a cam lock from the parts bin of Assa, Abloy, or probably Medeco wouldn't have been so hard for them, especially Medeco. But yeah the big corporate entity doesn't seem to care much about security except on commercial installations.
But, of course, they are just rebranding a generic safe mass produced in Asia, and getting them to fit one of their secure lock would increase the price to something above practically nothing. The problem here is that the alarm should sound as soon as someone touches the backup cylinder - but that would involve including a half-cent sensor, which is far to much to add to the cost.

Most lock smiths just drill and cut. They do very little picking. There are several of them on here and every encounter I have ever had with a locksmith or people who have directly talked about it simply say they drilled or cut. Even many many news stories talk about companies that could just pick the door in 30 seconds drilled it because its about upselling and upselling a new lock is far better than wasting a service call and charging for 1 min of work. They will upsell you a 250 dollars lock because that is all I have on had at the moment. Yet I could not be bothered to go and buy a bunch of standard locks that the majority of people use. The same with car locks you will find a lot of people who attempt to bump your door lock rather than use a lichi tool. Which can be quite pricey when it comes down to owing every one they sell and knowing which models they fit.
I've seen you use the impressioning tool you've used in this video multiple times now and i'm curious as to how and why it works. I understand picking pin tumblers and wafers already but these tubular locks still confuse me. Have you shown us how tubular locks function and how this impressioning tool bypasses them in detail yet?
Think of the pins in normal locks just in a circle. That is what the key is like. Instead of s straight line they are in a circle and pressing down pushed the pins in the right order. I think. I am just using logic. Though a video would be super cool about it!

@@ADoseofBuckley I didn't mean to suggest LPL was duped, I said he bought it. He reviews security devices. My original comment stands. The device functioned perfectly. Mission accomplished
I purchased a non-alarmed version from this product range a while back, predominantly because you hadn't featured it on your channel. Now I have to throw it away and start another Safe Search 😭
It's easy, but time-consuming. It's easier than picking a normal lock, because you can see exactly where the pins are to pick them, and you don't need a hook or a rake, you just need something that can press them down. It's time-consuming because there's usually seven pins (as opposed to four-six for a normal lock), and each pick only rotates it one-eighth of a turn, so you normally have to pick it at least twice. The impressioning tool speeds up the process, and it also allows you (if you're so inclined) to make yourself a key for the lock so you can come back and access it whenever you want.
As I've stated, what seems like thousands of times on the LPL's videos, it's impossible to be completely safe. The best any of us can hope for or achieve, is to make ourselves much harder targets than our neighbors. If you who are watching this don't have at least one dog then when you get up tomorrow, at the top of your list should be to get one, as long as you realize that owning one is a very real commitment. Dogs are living, breathing fantastic companions who will always give you far more than they take. This simple action puts you on the "I think we should move on to the next house" list of most burglars. Obviously there are many more measures you can and should take but, getting a canine (by this I mean a bigger sized dog with a deep bark or perhaps even better, growl) is one of the easiest and I would say mandatory actions to take. P.S.-- With regard to this specific lock/secure box I have a very similar one in a wall in my home with one added feature. After putting in place I subsequently moved a gigantic bedroom furniture set into our master bedroom and an almost permanent chunk of it sits right in front of it. So hey, all you burglars out there, you're all quite welcome to come over and give it a try. Take note however, that I've also put multiple other levels of security in place.
A highly-skilled lockpicker using a specialized tool was able to open it quickly. Sounds like I only have to worry about this safe if the person breaking into my house is you.
You could hack the alarm and add a photocell to the tubular lock hole so when the backup cover is removed it goes off and it would be greatly improved.
Diversion safes are usually a good way to go anyway. Just like LPL states, concentrating your valuables is generally a bad idea. Its a good idea to have your valuables in storage containers that are disguised 🥸 and that safety deposit boxes are poorly hidden with heavy but cheap items in them. Getting thieves out of your house quickly is the game. Just like with decoy wallets.
I recently got a new 24” Samsonite Luggage. It comes with a TSA lock built into it. LPL has already shown how easy it is to defeat the TSA lock with either a cheap TSA key online or with a wave rake. However this luggage is even worse as it has a 3 digit combination lock. Not only is 3 digits a weak combination that can easily be guessed. It gets even worse. I figured out how to decode it without any tools just as fast as if I had the code. I found that when locked and firmly pressing in the open button while simultaneously moving the code wheels. The correct numbers will have a noticeable click, while the non correct numbers would just glide by. It’s obviously not a security lock only prevents luggage from opening during flight.
I want to watch LPL do something I call the turlocken challenge. The idea is to take a small item (perhaps just a marble), and lock it in a small container, lock that container in something, that one in something else, and so on until you have it all in a big safe; for preference, each layer should use a lock requiring a different technique to get into. The challenge is to see how quickly LPL can get through all the layers of protectiong to reclaim the marble, without using the keys/codes (obviously). Bonus points for each layer using a bypass of some kind rather than straight-up picking, and an extra bonus if exactly one layer is bypassed destructively.
I’m thinking how much more profit Yale would be making on each of these ‘safes’ if they’d simply dispensed with the keypad and overide tubular ‘lock’ altogether 😂 The warning on the door not to leave the override keys inside the ‘safe’ is pure comedy gold. 😆😂🤣
I don't know what's better - the sexual innuendo or the speed with which he opened this. Sigh. I'm beginning to think the best way to protect valuables is to the leave them in plain sight, surrounded by German Shepherds with suspicious minds.
Put a brick and a electronic tracker in this and lay it on bedroom closet floor. Perfect decoy. Then hide your cash and jewels in a fake AC return in a wall in hallway.
This just reminded me of my uncle who had this Giant Safe that weighed tons, he would take his money put a rubber band around it and throw it behind the safe. I said what gives, he said let them spend time breaking into the safe to find Nothing. LMFIAO
I know LPL hates this lock, but it seems to require a "special tool" so that makes it B-tier on my list. F - can be bypassed without messing with the cylinder at all. D - low skill "raking" or "comb" attacks defeat the cylinder. C - beginner level single-pin picking can defeat the lock. B - moderate level single pin picking or a special tool are required to pick the lock. A - expert level picking or one-off custom tools are required. AA - lock-picking lawyer cannot open.

You could say LPL really is "peeling back the layers" to reveal Yale's security flaws! 😬😏🙈
lock peeling lawyer?
Just a press and a little wiggle and a giggle is all it takes.
Been a while since we've seen single pin picking of tubular locks.
"Best-used as a diversion for thieves." LPL has British-grade gentle-but-devastating shade...
I'm alarmed you don't feel safe using this product from Yale. So much for big name schools. I think you just schooled them!
Yale is named for the man that started the company . He's probably rotating in his grave over what the money men have done to his name.
Unless you’re planning to use it as a diversion. Brutal! Thanks for the video! Cheers.
I kinda expected a test of triggering the alarm system intentionally, so we were certain it hadn't been disabled before the lockpicking.
As I've stated, what seems like thousands of times on the LPL's videos, it's impossible to be completely safe. The best any of us can hope for or achieve, is to make ourselves much harder targets than our neighbors.
If you who are watching this don't have at least one dog then when you get up tomorrow, at the top of your list should be to get one, as long as you realize that owning one is a very real commitment. Dogs are living, breathing fantastic companions who will always give you far more than they take.
This simple action puts you on the "I think we should move on to the next house" list of most burglars.
Obviously there are many more measures you can and should take but, getting a canine (by this I mean a bigger sized dog with a deep bark or perhaps even better, growl) is one of the easiest and I would say mandatory actions to take.
P.S.-- With regard to this specific lock/secure box I have a very similar one in a wall in my home with one added feature. After putting in place I subsequently moved a gigantic bedroom furniture set into our master bedroom and an almost permanent chunk of it sits right in front of it. So hey, all you burglars out there, you're all quite welcome to come over and give it a try. Take note however, that I've also put multiple other levels of security in place.
A highly-skilled lockpicker using a specialized tool was able to open it quickly. Sounds like I only have to worry about this safe if the person breaking into my house is you.
When LPL laughs at a product, that’s when you KNOW it’s bad.
You could hack the alarm and add a photocell to the tubular lock hole so when the backup cover is removed it goes off and it would be greatly improved.
Babe wake up LPL just uploaded another banger
When LPL has a bit of laughter in his voice, things are serious :)
Diversion safes are usually a good way to go anyway. Just like LPL states, concentrating your valuables is generally a bad idea. Its a good idea to have your valuables in storage containers that are disguised 🥸 and that safety deposit boxes are poorly hidden with heavy but cheap items in them. Getting thieves out of your house quickly is the game. Just like with decoy wallets.
I recently got a new 24” Samsonite Luggage. It comes with a TSA lock built into it. LPL has already shown how easy it is to defeat the TSA lock with either a cheap TSA key online or with a wave rake. However this luggage is even worse as it has a 3 digit combination lock. Not only is 3 digits a weak combination that can easily be guessed. It gets even worse. I figured out how to decode it without any tools just as fast as if I had the code. I found that when locked and firmly pressing in the open button while simultaneously moving the code wheels. The correct numbers will have a noticeable click, while the non correct numbers would just glide by.
It’s obviously not a security lock only prevents luggage from opening during flight.
This is horrific! Best used as a decoy because it's worse than no security? Mercy
I want to watch LPL do something I call the turlocken challenge.
The idea is to take a small item (perhaps just a marble), and lock it in a small container, lock that container in something, that one in something else, and so on until you have it all in a big safe; for preference, each layer should use a lock requiring a different technique to get into. The challenge is to see how quickly LPL can get through all the layers of protectiong to reclaim the marble, without using the keys/codes (obviously).
Bonus points for each layer using a bypass of some kind rather than straight-up picking, and an extra bonus if exactly one layer is bypassed destructively.
*places 8 of them around the house with a Billy puppet doll next to one*
"Mr home invader. I want to play a game"
“diversion for thieves” BRUTAL 😂
Yale locks used to be the "must have for security" but clearly not anymore
They never really were, we just didn't know better
I’m thinking how much more profit Yale would be making on each of these ‘safes’ if they’d simply dispensed with the keypad and overide tubular ‘lock’ altogether 😂
The warning on the door not to leave the override keys inside the ‘safe’ is pure comedy gold. 😆😂🤣
it would had been funnier if he store the keys there
I don't know what's better - the sexual innuendo or the speed with which he opened this.
Sigh.
I'm beginning to think the best way to protect valuables is to the leave them in plain sight, surrounded by German Shepherds with suspicious minds.
What?? Holy moly this is absolutely ridiculous - thanks so much Sir
Put a brick and a electronic tracker in this and lay it on bedroom closet floor. Perfect decoy.
Then hide your cash and jewels in a fake AC return in a wall in hallway.
That would make for a good promotional slogan 'So, anyway, it's a diversion'
"Do not store override keys inside"
LPL: LMAO
LPL:
My refrigerator is harder to open, and louder.
he's hiding something from us in that safe.
Keep your Snickers bars in this. Hide your cash in your freezer 😂
This just reminded me of my uncle who had this Giant Safe that weighed tons, he would take his money put a rubber band around it and throw it behind the safe. I said what gives, he said let them spend time breaking into the safe to find Nothing. LMFIAO
I know LPL hates this lock, but it seems to require a "special tool" so that makes it B-tier on my list.
F - can be bypassed without messing with the cylinder at all.
D - low skill "raking" or "comb" attacks defeat the cylinder.
C - beginner level single-pin picking can defeat the lock.
B - moderate level single pin picking or a special tool are required to pick the lock.
A - expert level picking or one-off custom tools are required.
AA - lock-picking lawyer cannot open.
