I’m a paramedic. I routinely have calls where grandma fell, can’t get up, and doors are locked. Usually the Fire dept has to come and gain entry for us with tools meant to separate doors from frames. I have thought about getting picks to prevent delayed entry and the use of force which sometimes damages their doors. This seems like a great product for me to consider for my gear. Every door I’ve came across has been standard KW style.
The problem with these specific tools is that you need a different one for every keyway. So the costs add up really quickly. But, if you can convince work to pay for it, do it!
For a paramedic in an emergency there are MUCH easier ways to gain entry without picking the lock. For example, a traveler hook will gain entry to most residential locks without damaging and much quicker than picking.
I've had the basic introduction to picking locks and an hour's or so practice, so it's pretty obvious what he's doing. He makes it look easy, which to me indicates the amount of effort he's put into acquiring the skill.
I have never ever picked a lock in my life but I watch your videos all the time. This is the first time I have thought “ man that looks easy I really need to buy these”
@@adityapathak5761 I taught someone in 5 minutes to pick an Audi/VW barrel in 8 seconds with Lishi picks. He now works for the AA doing mostly key lock ins. He spends about 2 minutes on each job rather than getting his hands dirty under a bonnet.
I don’t know what it is but there is something about you calling your spouse “Mrs. LockPickingLawyer” that feels wonderfully wholesome. Looking forward to taking this up as a hobby. I love that it’s essentially mechanical puzzles with the evolution of exploits and counter measures.
I can see why; you can get in without any hassle as well as decode the pin code very quickly to make duplicates even if you don't have access to an original. Lishi makes top quality stuff.
@@ts757arse I agree and disagree. Learning properly will make you much faster and these are only good on 2 typed of door handles so you couldn't always use them
I hope he plans on becoming a full-time locksport salesman because this is the last LPL video I'm going to watch. I'm sick of clicking a video only to have a 5 minute advertisement shoved down my throat. I don't care how entertaining or informative an ad is; I don't want to see it, period. "Don't recommend this channel" here I come.
Just got a set of these and love them... It is amazing how tension is EVERYTHING and you do not use a lot at all... takes a bit of getting use to, but once you figure out how little you need it works like a charm!
I used a device like this when I was a locksmith, but it was for a truck, not a regular lock. The owner had lost he key to her truck and I had to decipher the layout of her ignition system, in order to make a new key for her. preograming the key to actually work, took longer than deciphering the pin layout.....based on that....id say its going to be one tight race.
I don't know why but it cracked me up when he said "Not sure whats going on with 4". Considering the amount of locks he has picked, that must be an achievement
Got my new Lishi SC-1 in the mail a few days ago. No better description than "Absolute Game Changer." If you saw me use it, you would think I actually know what I'm doing! This and the Covert Companion are the best 2 tools I have now!
I’ve never NEEDED to pick a lock in my life. But it’s still fun. And showing someone who’s never played with locks before how bump keys work, or how easy it is to pick or shim handcuffs is almost always hilarious.
@@thorlancaster5641 Ah. You are correct. But the speed at which he did that, it was clear that it had zero security pins. Just wiggle, set, go through the pins, opened. I'm amazed that pin type locks still exist given how easy they are to get open most of the time.
It won't be really any different than using traditional tools - spools will give counter rotation in a false set, serrated pins will bind more often etc. Also I think you meant "false set" not "false gate". Gates are only a thing on combination locks.
The ABUS lock he picked first _is_ pretty high security. It has several security pins. LPL is just really good at it, and made it look easy. The Lishi pick isn't going to save you from security pins, it will just take away some ambiguity for the beginner. It will also make making a copy (of the key) easier.
After watching several different lock picker how-to videos, yours included and most preferred, I have ordered me a lock picking kit from Amazon that has three different lucite training locks, for a total of only $32, I believe. I work night shift driving a yard jockey truck, and many times hours go by with no trailer moves to make, which gives me plenty of time to work at learning to pick, while getting paid at the same time! Thank you for giving us all these wonderful videos!
@@Jehty_ wow I got a reply? Awesome. My progress is as such: I continue to pick and re-pick the 7 locks I have. I bought a cheap set of those tubular lock impressioning tool set. Have yet to find a lock I can try it on. The Walmart store didn't have any. There's a vending machine where I work that has one, but I'm not even going to come close to touching it. Be my luck the FBI would run in on me while I was doing it. (I have no ill intent. I just want to learn.) Since I started I bought two books on the subject of picking locks. I was NOT pleased with them. I have since thrown them in the trash. Because I've learned tons more by watching UA-cam videos. I bought two locks at the Dollar tree, and believe it or not they're giving me a harder time than anything. Master locks are a joke, as you and everyone else knows. My interest has not waned any. It's a fascinating subject. (Or else I am easy to impress.) I don't know if I told you before I bought a $40 Amazon automotive or entry set. I mostly need it in case somebody else needs to get into there vehicle. It's pretty nice set. I would advertise that I would pick lock for free, but I recently found out that the small town of Urbana Ohio that I live in has a corrupt Police department. The police chief has been the police chief for 53 years! So all I would be doing would be getting myself into trouble by advertising. Ohio does not regulate locksmithing, I found out. Thanks for asking about my progress. I sure wasn't expecting somebody to check up on me. Certainly not you. I would have figured you to be too busy.
@@Jehty_ watching your videos have made it enjoyable for me. I guess it's just your soft-spoken style or something. About the ones I've watched you're my favorite. I in my mind I compare all the others to you and they just don't compare well.

What’s also cool is the numbers on the right side show what each pin is so you could theoretically pick the lock, write down the code and get yourself a key to return later.
Lockpicking is one of those weird things that feels like it's illegal but there are 1001 legal reasons to pick a lock, and one of those is "Hobbyist," which floors me repeatedly
@@AustinRBa That rather depends on the product, I would think. But where I live it's legal to buy and own lockpicks, but not to carry them without good reason. Seems like a reasonable compromise to me.
It's an interesting debate, but it's user dependent. Very good example would be nitrous canisters for whipped cream in catering. Widely available, absolutely legal, completely innocent until you insert a balloon on them and inhale to make laughing gas for a legal high. If you happen to be looking around an area and police stop you with picks, might be more than enough to say your intentions may not be legal. But if you happen to carry a set on occasion or at home, it's pretty much likely you have an interest. Besides, if the police had correct resources a cybersearch would reveal LPL videos watched
You should watch his other videos, he does show this and similar tools in action. Speaking of which i lost a key to my bike carrier lock and will use the caveman method of grinding it off, once i buy a grinder. Who am i kidding, i'm actually buying a beginners kit, will be fun to practice. Grinder will be used when i fail after the 5th attempt.
@Fallen Engel the problem is not that there is not enough supply, it's the fact that there are so many people trying to pick locks.... Watch out for theft and robberies lol
@@donkremer6019, These are limited in only being for a specific keyway compared to a set of picks of reasonable quality being cheaper than a single Lishi tool (but for what they're designed for they're a brilliant tool for a locksmith). And when you get good it is relatively easy on a depressing range of locks, though nobody else I have ever heard of even has LPL's speed.
The side bonus is you can use that grid to decode how to cut the key. Sometimes when I go to a re-key job, the new owners of a house don't have the keys except the front door. Using a lishi you can decode one of the other doors and make a key instead of having to pick or shim the rest of the doors. They're even more invaluable for lost car keys.
The REAL beauty of the Lishi Tools for us locksmiths is that once the lock is picked we can use that grid to make a key without having to take the lock apart.
@@jellyproductions3767 problem is most doors are secured by a half inch piece of wood. You can have the best locks in the world but if you can kick the entire lock out of the door frame it doesn't help much. To really secure your front doors you're going to need to strengthen the frame and the door long before you have to worry about the locks. Very few criminals will attempt to pick a lock open. They are going to kick your door in or bust a window
God I hope its just one of my team screwing around. Because when the door opens they are going to be looking down the barrel of Mr 12 Ga and the Malinois is going to be very excited to say hello.
I just tried this tool on my BMW motorcycle. I had both top and side case opened in something like 10 minutes. I have never picked a lock in my life. Amazing!

Remember when locks were there to make the thief avoid stealing from you because of lazyness? Well... if they start using this laziness will cease being a factor.
I just looked at all the key types, and if someone takes the time and money to purchase them all and know which to use, idk if they're still lazy. Plus I have a digital door lock with a slider pin keyway backup so they can only steal my roommates stuff lol

The fact that you nail these in one take is just otherworldly to me. The lock picking is amazing for sure but as someone who has done voice overs for videos before it's just nothing short of awe inspiring just listening to you nail those takes. Please do a video on that
I want to see LPL in a Lishi Superbowl Ad. Picture this: Tom Cruise is struggling to open a maximum security vault in a Mission Impossible style heist, so he phones LPL, and LPL comes to the scene. You see his silhouette casually stroll up to the vault with his hands in his pockets. His soothing voice pacifies Tom Cruise in his most desperate hour of need. "Click out of 3...5 is set...1 is loose...Click out of 4...aand it's open. So yeah guys I would recommend Lishi for beginners and professionals alike." LPL hands Tom Cruise a beer. Tom tries to open it before realizing the top is padlocked. When he looks up, LPL is already walking away.
Those are ingenious, I have been a LockSmith for 40+ years and have a few patents of my own (for combination locks) but this is absolutely ingenious. Well done sir!!!! I might order a set of those. Just to see, I always used to order the newest toys out there, just to see how well they worked.
@@dburris718 If I recall correctly Stuff Made Here said he wanted to make adjustments before sending his lock to LPL, so maybe he's working on a V2 and that's why LPL can't have one yet. Regardless, I'm eager to see the improved version and LPL's attempt at picking it.
@@refreshfr if you saw "Stuff made here" timeline post yesterday, theres a post with an image of the box that has been shipped to LPL with 2 locks inside. So video should be coming soon.
@@refreshfr Yes, he's still on improving the lock, nothing sent to LPL yet, so no pick attempts as of now (or rather, a few days ago. Comments can be slow)
When I first saw these in action, I immediately fell in love with how useful it was for visualizing a lock without a transparent lock body. It really shows how the individual pins are responding to the pick rather than just hearing LPL just describe it.
Man that's cool. I can pick locks decently well but a lot of them still whip me - I'm maybe like at an intermediate level. Just to the point where I tell someone I can pick this lock and they're like "Nuh uh.." and I surprise them - a simple lock that they don't realize how simple it is lol. This looks pretty gnarly and helpful. It's so weird and unless you've done it, you wouldn't realize, but picking locks is a fun hobby/pastime.
This is also so cool to watch. Usually I have no idea what ur talking about, but now "Set","binding",etc make sense, cause we can actually see what those words feel like in ur hands
Yeah, might as well go full Canadian and give up on locking your front door, matter of fact building off of that you could go with the preferred "Take it, I dare you" method of old America where you wait with a shotgun aimed at your front door... I mean it'll be pretty effective albeit time consuming.
Seeing these items that I make tools for (I do the CAD work) in practice is a sight to see. I knew they were lockpicking items, but now everything had clicked into place for me. (No pun intended ha)
You made the lock decoder? I mean I'm not into locksport but the tool look really good. It's like the ruler for the locksmith. So kudos for the good job.
Just checked out your site for the first time and I have got to say, I LOVE that you have these for automotive style locks, I will absolutely be ordering these in the near future. Absolute game changer for me being able to decode.
As someone who has just started to learn lock picking I have a huge issue with finding the pin positions. Half the time I think I'm wiggling a pin and I'm touching nothing. The other half I'm doing the opposite - wiggling a pin and think it's nothing. When I saw you using one of these before I wondered what it was and I couldn't find the video so I'm glad to see these being shown more fully in their own video.
Or you think you're on a pin that's binding but you're actually stuck on the keyway ledge, or you overshot the last pin and you're just pushing against the lock body instead LOL

Maybe, but what criminal is going to spend $80 per tool on something like this? My bet is that the criminal will forgo the monetary investment and just break in another way rather than trying to pick a lock which is already doable by anyone with enough desire to learn how to pick it the traditional way
@@ram89572 exactly. Why pick the lock when you can break a window? My house has been burgled twice and on neither occasion did they waste time with picking the lock.
@@ram89572 A criminal who doesn't want to leave any evidence of forced entry will find this very compelling, what do you mean "what criminal is going to spend $80 on this?" This eliminates much of the skill required for common use lockpicking, and to think enterprising criminals won't pick up on this is naive. That said, it also has uses for those who aren't criminals. In this comment's section, I saw a paramedic who has had many issues with entering the homes of elderly people who have been injured due to their doors being locked. They often have to wait for the fire department to force entry into the house. This tool would be a game changer for somebody like him. Tools like these do have many genuine use cases for law abiding citizens, but just because that's the case doesn't mean less scrupulous individuals won't take advantage of these tools to break the law more efficiently.
@@dyedie1 I didn't say NO criminal would use something like this, but the criminal who would is going to likely already have some other lockpicking tool available. The majority of the time the criminal will break a window or force a door. Leave no evidence you say? You realize real life is not a crime drama and the majority of the time a criminal who breaks in is going to get away if you aren't home to shoot them right? The police do not care about what was stolen and aren't going to be that thorough with the crime scene unless you are talking about someone who is rich, famous, or a politician. The overwhelming majority of break ins are not doing by picking locks and these tools are not going to suddenly change that.
Your the master I love watching you work your craft never seen any lock you can't pick is there even a lock that ever even slowed you down I am amazed how quick and easy you make the toughest locks look like worthless junk.
For anyone interested, Li Zhiqin (李志勤) is the guy on the picture and the Chinese text and a locksmith. The reason why the brand is called Lishi (李氏) is that shi basically acts as a suffix to a family name, because in Chinese people are usually referred to by their full names, their family name + occupation, or their given names. The shi suffix gives people (mainly writers nowadays) an option to refer to someone by their family name alone. Unless they are the emperor or Winnie the Pooh of course, nobody dared to mention their names :) Today shi most frequently appears in historical texts referring to wives and mothers of famous men because the historians couldn't be bothered to record/couldn't find their given names, as Chinese women don't change their surnames when married.
That is freaking amazing! I hated picking locks, mainly because I could never get the hang of feeling the individual pins, and rarely ever heard them click. These tools would help a lot in teaching the sequence of the pins and when you've got them set.

Thank you so much for making this video! It just saved me a lot of time/hassle in re-keying a new lock! After seeing it, I bought three of these (SC4, AM5, and M1/MS2) though never really got around to getting good at them. I've used decoders before (for the tubular locks) but just hadn't spent the time getting good at picking locks with spools and didn't need these for locks without them. Until today. My sister purchased some more locks for her new apartment and I was re-keying them to our family's master-key system. However, one of the deadbolts came with the wrong keys in the box.. No problem! Pulled out the SC4 decoder, opened the cylinder once, then promptly disassembled it. This saved me so-unbelievably-much time. Also my first time "picking" a cylinder with spools, though the purist in me doesn't quite buy that this is picking (but I did at least /feel/ the spools distinctly, which is more than I've done before). So again, thank you for making this video and letting me know these exist! Even if it did take a year for me to actually get around to using it!

I’m a paramedic. I routinely have calls where grandma fell, can’t get up, and doors are locked. Usually the Fire dept has to come and gain entry for us with tools meant to separate doors from frames.

Every door I’ve came across has been standard KW style.

But, if you can convince work to pay for it, do it!

@@ScottKenny1978 Having work 'pay' for it, would decrease YOUR pay increase.
For a paramedic in an emergency there are MUCH easier ways to gain entry without picking the lock. For example, a traveler hook will gain entry to most residential locks without damaging and much quicker than picking.

As a locksmiths son, I can 100% say that we use these more than any other tool for lockouts
Ah,I see you're part of the Destiny 2's Gun Gang.
I can see why; you can get in without any hassle as well as decode the pin code very quickly to make duplicates even if you don't have access to an original.

I used a device like this when I was a locksmith, but it was for a truck, not a regular lock. The owner had lost he key to her truck and I had to decipher the layout of her ignition system, in order to make a new key for her. preograming the key to actually work, took longer than deciphering the pin layout.....based on that....id say its going to be one tight race.
It's like a cheat code in a game.

LPL should use these locks on some higher security locks so we can see how false gates are picked or what security pins do :) incredibly informative !
YES!
Seconded. I want to see how hard it is to pick really good locks with these things!
It won't be really any different than using traditional tools - spools will give counter rotation in a false set, serrated pins will bind more often etc. Also I think you meant "false set" not "false gate". Gates are only a thing on combination locks.
@@nutbastard Gates are also present on Disk Detainer locks
The ABUS lock he picked first _is_ pretty high security. It has several security pins. LPL is just really good at it, and made it look easy. The Lishi pick isn't going to save you from security pins, it will just take away some ambiguity for the beginner. It will also make making a copy (of the key) easier.
After watching several different lock picker how-to videos, yours included and most preferred, I have ordered me a lock picking kit from Amazon that has three different lucite training locks, for a total of only $32, I believe. I work night shift driving a yard jockey truck, and many times hours go by with no trailer moves to make, which gives me plenty of time to work at learning to pick, while getting paid at the same time! Thank you for giving us all these wonderful videos!
3 weeks later: How is your progress?
@@Jehty_ wow I got a reply? Awesome. My progress is as such: I continue to pick and re-pick the 7 locks I have. I bought a cheap set of those tubular lock impressioning tool set. Have yet to find a lock I can try it on. The Walmart store didn't have any. There's a vending machine where I work that has one, but I'm not even going to come close to touching it. Be my luck the FBI would run in on me while I was doing it. (I have no ill intent. I just want to learn.) Since I started I bought two books on the subject of picking locks. I was NOT pleased with them. I have since thrown them in the trash. Because I've learned tons more by watching UA-cam videos. I bought two locks at the Dollar tree, and believe it or not they're giving me a harder time than anything. Master locks are a joke, as you and everyone else knows. My interest has not waned any. It's a fascinating subject. (Or else I am easy to impress.) I don't know if I told you before I bought a $40 Amazon automotive or entry set. I mostly need it in case somebody else needs to get into there vehicle. It's pretty nice set. I would advertise that I would pick lock for free, but I recently found out that the small town of Urbana Ohio that I live in has a corrupt Police department. The police chief has been the police chief for 53 years! So all I would be doing would be getting myself into trouble by advertising. Ohio does not regulate locksmithing, I found out. Thanks for asking about my progress. I sure wasn't expecting somebody to check up on me. Certainly not you. I would have figured you to be too busy.

he's selling junk. I've personally bought the lishi's off his website and they dont even look like the ones he has advertised.
What’s also cool is the numbers on the right side show what each pin is so you could theoretically pick the lock, write down the code and get yourself a key to return later.
A real expert makes a difficult task look easy. An absolute master makes teaching a difficult task easier - I’m so impressed!
Lockpicking is one of those weird things that feels like it's illegal but there are 1001 legal reasons to pick a lock, and one of those is "Hobbyist," which floors me repeatedly
It definitely feels like it should be illegal to sell stuff like this.
@@yukononun so IF a product can be used illegally, it should be illegal to sell them?
@@AustinRBa That rather depends on the product, I would think. But where I live it's legal to buy and own lockpicks, but not to carry them without good reason. Seems like a reasonable compromise to me.
@@yukononun In Poland it's illegal to possess a lockpick if you're not a locksmith
It's an interesting debate, but it's user dependent. Very good example would be nitrous canisters for whipped cream in catering. Widely available, absolutely legal, completely innocent until you insert a balloon on them and inhale to make laughing gas for a legal high. If you happen to be looking around an area and police stop you with picks, might be more than enough to say your intentions may not be legal. But if you happen to carry a set on occasion or at home, it's pretty much likely you have an interest. Besides, if the police had correct resources a cybersearch would reveal LPL videos watched
LPL: not sure what’s going on with 4....
LPL: still nothing on 4...

They start making them for the common keyways in Australia I'm going to have to talk to the landlord about changing the locks.
I this the right thing to do? This borders from teaching people to making it much easier to pick a lock.
My thoughts. Picking locks seems easier than stealing candy from a baby.
@@donkremer6019, These are limited in only being for a specific keyway compared to a set of picks of reasonable quality being cheaper than a single Lishi tool (but for what they're designed for they're a brilliant tool for a locksmith). And when you get good it is relatively easy on a depressing range of locks, though nobody else I have ever heard of even has LPL's speed.
The side bonus is you can use that grid to decode how to cut the key. Sometimes when I go to a re-key job, the new owners of a house don't have the keys except the front door. Using a lishi you can decode one of the other doors and make a key instead of having to pick or shim the rest of the doors. They're even more invaluable for lost car keys.

Bro same I can’t wait for it! Maybe it truly is unpickable and he’s ashamed 😂
@@dburris718 If I recall correctly Stuff Made Here said he wanted to make adjustments before sending his lock to LPL, so maybe he's working on a V2 and that's why LPL can't have one yet. Regardless, I'm eager to see the improved version and LPL's attempt at picking it.
@@refreshfr if you saw "Stuff made here" timeline post yesterday, theres a post with an image of the box that has been shipped to LPL with 2 locks inside. So video should be coming soon.
@@refreshfr Yes, he's still on improving the lock, nothing sent to LPL yet, so no pick attempts as of now (or rather, a few days ago. Comments can be slow)
@@CalebBlackhand wrong. SMH sent 2 locks out yesterday.
When I first saw these in action, I immediately fell in love with how useful it was for visualizing a lock without a transparent lock body. It really shows how the individual pins are responding to the pick rather than just hearing LPL just describe it.
Man that's cool. I can pick locks decently well but a lot of them still whip me - I'm maybe like at an intermediate level. Just to the point where I tell someone I can pick this lock and they're like "Nuh uh.." and I surprise them - a simple lock that they don't realize how simple it is lol. This looks pretty gnarly and helpful. It's so weird and unless you've done it, you wouldn't realize, but picking locks is a fun hobby/pastime.
This is also so cool to watch. Usually I have no idea what ur talking about, but now "Set","binding",etc make sense, cause we can actually see what those words feel like in ur hands
I use these to open locks on cars in junkyards. Really helpful
Its as if i hear a collective scream from every lock company out there
I think that just happens any time he uploads a video.
Except master. I think they’ve just stopped caring at this point
Why would they do that? If anything homeowners/renters/gym lockers etc should be screaming aganist entitled youtube subs
@@wileecoyote5749 fitting name
Until there is a popular reality TV show demonstrating lock-picking and the show becomes a household name, no one cares about lock picking.
I find you amazing. Soothing to watch your video's. Even your voice. I should have gone into lock smithing when I was a teen. Thank you.
At this point, I'll just keep my door open.
Yeah, might as well go full Canadian and give up on locking your front door, matter of fact building off of that you could go with the preferred "Take it, I dare you" method of old America where you wait with a shotgun aimed at your front door... I mean it'll be pretty effective albeit time consuming.
Just replace your door with concrete wall
Thankyou kind sir would you kindly put your address
@@ptbot3294 😂
keep the chain on wen in only .
These are great for video purposes too, they do give us a visual look at what you are doing and the movement too.
Seeing these items that I make tools for (I do the CAD work) in practice is a sight to see. I knew they were lockpicking items, but now everything had clicked into place for me. (No pun intended ha)
You made the lock decoder? I mean I'm not into locksport but the tool look really good. It's like the ruler for the locksmith. So kudos for the good job.
@@nirui.o If I understood Craig's comment correctly, he made the tools used to make decoders.
Just checked out your site for the first time and I have got to say, I LOVE that you have these for automotive style locks, I will absolutely be ordering these in the near future. Absolute game changer for me being able to decode.
Still waiting for the “Stuff made here” lock video

He sent the locks in a custom mini door last week, you can get a preview of what Shane sent by checking out his instagram.

As someone who has just started to learn lock picking I have a huge issue with finding the pin positions. Half the time I think I'm wiggling a pin and I'm touching nothing. The other half I'm doing the opposite - wiggling a pin and think it's nothing. When I saw you using one of these before I wondered what it was and I couldn't find the video so I'm glad to see these being shown more fully in their own video.
Or you think you're on a pin that's binding but you're actually stuck on the keyway ledge, or you overshot the last pin and you're just pushing against the lock body instead LOL
for those wondering, it's under "lishi tools" on his website, and also, they are all completely sold out
Aliexpress, less than $50 shipped.
Outstanding, I wish we had a lock Picking Lawyer in the UK. I have purchased a couple dozen test locks and learnt how to open them but struggle big time with none test locks. That tool is amazing.
Lishi makes dozens of different styles. I'm not sure what locks are common in the UK, but I would be legit astonished if they didn't make one for them.
This is half incredible half terrifying
I don't know if he thought it all the way through...
@@lionllew6601 he sure did hes probably laughing to the bank rn
Especially when you look at his website and see the ones that are made to open cars.
@@lionllew6601 He's a lawyer; the ethics of this are not his concern (he tells himself).
I mean if someone wants in to your house bump keys are just as simple to use for 90% of locks.
I feel like these would really useful for game designers working on lockpicking minigames :)
One of the few comedy moments when he said "not sure what is happening with four".
Ok, that’s amazingly simple. Wow. The collective groans of all lock manufacturers is being heard now.
Almost five minutes, and he's destroyed generations of locks in one go... By releasing the unwashed horde!

these have been out for quite some time. nothing new, just exposing it to millions of people lol
This tool is terrifying, it basically makes all compatible pin tumblers without anything exotic obsolete
Maybe, but what criminal is going to spend $80 per tool on something like this? My bet is that the criminal will forgo the monetary investment and just break in another way rather than trying to pick a lock which is already doable by anyone with enough desire to learn how to pick it the traditional way
@@ram89572 exactly. Why pick the lock when you can break a window? My house has been burgled twice and on neither occasion did they waste time with picking the lock.
@@ram89572 A criminal who doesn't want to leave any evidence of forced entry will find this very compelling, what do you mean "what criminal is going to spend $80 on this?" This eliminates much of the skill required for common use lockpicking, and to think enterprising criminals won't pick up on this is naive.
That said, it also has uses for those who aren't criminals. In this comment's section, I saw a paramedic who has had many issues with entering the homes of elderly people who have been injured due to their doors being locked. They often have to wait for the fire department to force entry into the house. This tool would be a game changer for somebody like him.
Tools like these do have many genuine use cases for law abiding citizens, but just because that's the case doesn't mean less scrupulous individuals won't take advantage of these tools to break the law more efficiently.
@@ram89572 Yeah, I'm pretty sure the two locks in this video could be raked open, or opened with a pick gun.
@@dyedie1 I didn't say NO criminal would use something like this, but the criminal who would is going to likely already have some other lockpicking tool available. The majority of the time the criminal will break a window or force a door. Leave no evidence you say? You realize real life is not a crime drama and the majority of the time a criminal who breaks in is going to get away if you aren't home to shoot them right? The police do not care about what was stolen and aren't going to be that thorough with the crime scene unless you are talking about someone who is rich, famous, or a politician. The overwhelming majority of break ins are not doing by picking locks and these tools are not going to suddenly change that.
It seems like the Covert Instruments business model is to instantly sell their entire stock of whatever LPL puts on his channel. That seems promising!
And for 2x the cost of retail. Genius!
Your the master I love watching you work your craft never seen any lock you can't pick is there even a lock that ever even slowed you down I am amazed how quick and easy you make the toughest locks look like worthless junk.
For anyone interested, Li Zhiqin (李志勤) is the guy on the picture and the Chinese text and a locksmith. The reason why the brand is called Lishi (李氏) is that shi basically acts as a suffix to a family name, because in Chinese people are usually referred to by their full names, their family name + occupation, or their given names. The shi suffix gives people (mainly writers nowadays) an option to refer to someone by their family name alone. Unless they are the emperor or Winnie the Pooh of course, nobody dared to mention their names :) Today shi most frequently appears in historical texts referring to wives and mothers of famous men because the historians couldn't be bothered to record/couldn't find their given names, as Chinese women don't change their surnames when married.
Thank you, I appreciate cultural comments like that. :D
@@Johannes00 I've added extra details in the op for you :)
@@user-njyzcip An enjoyable historical lesson :)

@@alexm7023 chinese special forces en route
A set like this for the european locks would be incredible!
That is freaking amazing! I hated picking locks, mainly because I could never get the hang of feeling the individual pins, and rarely ever heard them click. These tools would help a lot in teaching the sequence of the pins and when you've got them set.
Man I'm so glad you're making breaking and entering so easy
Actually its just entering if you pick your way in since you don't have to break anything😉
I learned....... I've been a barbarian all these years and simply rake over all the pins as if I were pillaging a village.
😭😭
Wiggle to win bro! lol
Haha sometimes I don't know how many pins it has even after I open it. My fav are the ones you can just tension and bash against the wall a few times

may i ask... what are you purchasing them for? i mean do you need them for work? is it something legal or otherwise? lol

That aside, from Scotland and Spain, love the videos, learnt so much.
I had played a bit in the past when at work with silly cupboard locks and just loved the reactions when was able to open someone's "mislaid my key" draw or cupboard as if I was a magician and then the, Oh!, my!, how? why did you learn that. It was wonderful.
amazing tool. i feel like this is great for people who have lost their keys or something and dont need to have any experience to pick locks. great thing to use instead of having to call a locksmith who charges a lot of money to pick it open
Most locksmiths don't pick, because it takes time. Drill and replace is more profitable.
@@viralsheddingzombie5324 Speaking as a working locksmith for the past 50 years, if that is your experience, then you have been hiring "mocksmiths" (scammers), not locksmiths. I do a fair number of lockouts and I can't remember the last time I had to drill a cylinder. For others reading this, google has really damaged the legitimate locksmith industry by letting anyone (including key-me vending machines) advertise as a locksmith . Do your due diligence before hiring.
@@lockpro Drill and rekey, or drill and replace all of the locks is what I see in the real world. It's all about the profit. Vehicle lock-out is a different story.
The difference between how LPL picks and this product is basically like the difference between a bow and a crossbow
A crossbow with a laser sight on it.
@@SirMcAwesome and bolts propelled with gunpowder

It has never been easier to open my neighbor's door, thank you!
Now you can finally get all your tools back.
Thank you so much for making this video! It just saved me a lot of time/hassle in re-keying a new lock!
After seeing it, I bought three of these (SC4, AM5, and M1/MS2) though never really got around to getting good at them. I've used decoders before (for the tubular locks) but just hadn't spent the time getting good at picking locks with spools and didn't need these for locks without them.
Until today. My sister purchased some more locks for her new apartment and I was re-keying them to our family's master-key system. However, one of the deadbolts came with the wrong keys in the box..
No problem! Pulled out the SC4 decoder, opened the cylinder once, then promptly disassembled it. This saved me so-unbelievably-much time.
Also my first time "picking" a cylinder with spools, though the purist in me doesn't quite buy that this is picking (but I did at least /feel/ the spools distinctly, which is more than I've done before).
So again, thank you for making this video and letting me know these exist! Even if it did take a year for me to actually get around to using it!
Someone said that you can't buy skill, you can only develop them. Looks like with the right tools, you can buy skill

Hey, I see you everywhere, AoE2, Tf2 and now LPL? You sure look like a cool guy!
I would say someone has the skill to develop a better tool.
This turns real life lock picking into the minigame for Oblivion!
It's probably because the Oblivion minigame was so accurate to what lock picking actually looks like!
@@desgoyomama3274 except for the picks breaking
@@DarthGTB they break so easily...
@@desgoyomama3274 yes, looks like they are made of twigs!
Yes, this is what I need exactly! I can't feel my fingers due to nerv3 damage so this is just what I need
I imagined a tool like this a kid, I didn’t think I’d actually see it made although the one I imagined had some sort of memory system so you don’t need a pin and paper to write down the numbers
Umm maybe add some sliders? I think the reason why they opted for a grid was to train lockpickers how to feel the pins by hand.
