In a controlled environment, with no pressure, and knowing everything about this lock, it still gave him hard time and took LPL way beyond his average time to pick it. It's a good lock.
Indeed. When people lambast "security through obscurity", it's generally because the security system (in this case, a lock) relies exclusively (or nearly so) on it for its effectiveness. But a "security through obscurity" trick is OK when the lock is still a challenge to open even when you know about the trick. And that's what this lock did.
He actually seemed to struggle a little with this one, which means that for the overwhelming majority of people on the planet, this is an unpickable lock.
It's remarkable how simple a lock can be and be considered unpickable by even a locksmith. The number of locksmiths I know who are comfortable with security pins is fairly low.
@@righteousone1 funny. Growing up in Southern California, video games kept me off the streets from that stuff-but I understand if you didn’t appreciate a relatively funny comment to a chill video.
It actually would take seconds for him. He’s talking and demonstrating. If he was focused, I’d give that lock 20 seconds. That’s probably 10-12 too much.
This is probably one of the best performing locks the LPL has picked on-screen, given that clever semi-secret safety feature. Then again, he only cracked it once so it may have been a fluke. 🤣😂😭🔓
@@_Stormfather it's only supplemental, I think would be more accurate. Like a house safe under a floorboard is better than on the living room table, but not by that much.
@@szurketaltos2693 But if you make one relatively simple to find, and the other exceedingly difficult, then you have an effective decoy. That's where security by obscurity really comes into play, as a second or third line of defence. It's just not a good first step as a general rule, and definitely not the only security measure one should take. One safe on the wall behind a painting, one under the floorboards that takes some finding, and one inside the sofa, where no-one would ever look - especially having found the decoy in the wall and the "hidden safe" in the floor. That would be my play. Just as the entrance to a panic room is best up high, as few people look up. It'll be found in a determined search, but time is not on the side of the criminal under most circumstances. Any delay is a good thing, so a "hidden" pin in the bottom of the keyway is the same, at first you pick and pick and can't get anywhere. It's easy to shine a light in there, but it's rarely the first thing you do, so it is an effective delaying tactic, as long as the lock is sufficiently obscure. Having been the feature of today's video, it's now much less obscure, but how many will you ever come across? It's one lock of many thousands being used, and the security pins or the bitting perhaps, in this one, were pretty good. That was a lot of tension, and a lot of easing off of that tension. This particular one took some skill even without the sub keyway pin. In combination, this is a decent lock.

You've undoubtedly heard it a million times, but I cannot get over how impressed I am with your ability to navigate thru ANY pin stack. No fumbling or slipping off of pins at all. I've only got about 3 months of experience. Now that I know how things "feel" in a lock, watching you work is both fascinating and worthy of admiration! 😀

If not, then they are not. For reference, he started picking at 1:05 and opened the lock at 2:18, or a minute and 13 seconds. If you can show me someone faster than that with the same model lock, than I shall believe you.
@@righteousone1 im curious what facts or evidence you base your comment on? considering the LPL does work with lock manufacturers and private companies on security i would say he isn't just some amateur.
I really enjoyed this as it reinforced the skill it takes to do the research, choose the right tools and then also execute the high level of craftsmanship required to pick. Like watching a carpenter hand make beautiful furniture instead of just seeing the same thing churned out of a factory.
LPL favors "stout tension" when picking. He has a video pretty early on about his reasoning for it. However, you don't want too much tension that you cause the pins to bind and not able to be picked. I also go the more tension route, and I think you do get some good feedback, but you also need to have good control when letting off tension when counter rotation happens.
It’s decent against lock picking attacks but how about with power tools? Without hardened steel anti drill pins, I can’t imagine it’d be too hard to beat with a drill attack especially since the core is composed of a rather soft metal (brass).
@@Alm8hoorOW i think your statement is pointless. Power tools? I can use an angle grinder to cut whatever you think are harden steel locks. Or a blow torch. Picking locks are for doing it quietly not letting everyone know what you're doing.

Thank you LPL .....you and BosnianBill have taught so many people about picking locks and their construction. I always send people your way when ever they ask me about picking locks.
@@lairdcummings9092 Yeah, go grab some cheap Masterlocks to start with. You can usually get a half dozen off of eBay without spending too much. Get some of those cheapo locks, grab a tensioner and a rake, and experiment a bit. You can do it!

This channel is a perfect example of a professional making things look incredibly easy. Give me those same exact tools and a solid month to try and open the lock... it would still be locked 😂
Solid month? I think that’d be ambitious for me, it has security pins, I’d need a solid decade and I’d be able to show you a few hundred ways on how not to open this lock haha.
You should create a compilation of the best/worst locks for different categories (bike, car, house, ...). Your videos taught me that finding/identifying 'secure' locks is extremely hard.
Man, i'd like to thank you. I lost my house's key, and thanks to your videos I managed to open the door with a clip and a piece of metal. Thank you so much!
Taking into account the time it took LPL to pick this guy (>1 Minute), this is one lock I would consider using ! (and he had privileged info). Security minded people will tell you that security by offuscation is not security - it helps keeping at bay the kids and unexperienced pickers/hackers !
“Isn’t too much of a challenge” ???? That lock took him longer than any other one I’ve ever seen! And it was only four pins. Pop a few more on that baby and you probably have the best lock you can build. At least until Stuff Made Here v3. I saw a Lifepod at Costco yesterday. They now have a complete manual lock disconnect. They should’ve probably called it the LPL switch.
Did not know about the difference between the key cut and the pinning. I can never bring a pick to a pretty new lock that is beyond my level…so I never tried or counted. That will teach me not to check. Looking forward to more great videos and maybe a Miwa opening in the future?
Seems the difference between key cut and pinning is particularly to the Viro 105. The little brother Viro 104 has a key with 4 cuts (checked this time) and four top pins. Plus that bottom secret pin.
That's a great idea! Wish I had thought of that. It's either LPL-proof, or it triggers an atomic bomb if you get it open. Poison darts is a pretty reasonable compromise as far as I can see.
That's an idea. Have it so the pin drops in after you tension it and cause the lock to seize up such that you can't push the pin back back without removing tension.
That seems like a VERY solid lock...has a feature that 99% of people who want to pick it will probably never know about as well as some solid security pins. took LPL a while (in reference to how fast he picks other locks) to get into....i'd buy it.
I think LPL has made it perfectly clear that locks with a key are an utterly pointless method of securing stuff. I think we need a paradigm shift. How about a key-combination lock combo? Insert the key, then rotate c/w and cc/w to pre-set ordinals, with those ordinals representing a pin number? You need the right key and the right pin to open. Or how about having two or three keyways where you have to insert the key into the correct keyway in the right order to open? Or an entirely magnetic lock where the right combination of N/S poles opens the lock?
Does anyone else get the feeling there’s an office party somewhere in the Viro HQ and the CEO is giving a speech “we did it, LPL said it takes some skill, and it took over a minute to pick our lock, we are up there with some of the most secure locks now…pass the champagne”.
LockPickingLawyer's videos always remind me of a visit to the dentist (but not in a bad way!). He uses his tools much like a dentist manipulates picks and what have you. So then I thought, the "LockPickingDentist" would probably be pretty good at it. If "LockPickingDentist" doesn't exist yet on UA-cam, it should!
Do you ever take the cores out to examine the pins anymore? This would have been an interesting one to see. If not why did you get away from doing this?
add one for each 10 sec it takes for him to open. add one if he need special tools, one more if extra tricks needed (like the pin here), add one more if any other reason would make it deserving. Remove one or more, if he use some simply tool like hammer, blowing on it, red bull can, or twig with a leaf.
@@thorin1045 what if he needs his special tool Bosnian Bill and he made, does that get an extra point? If he uses and magnet or doesn’t touch it deduct a thousand…he brought a whole new meaning to contactless entry in that video haha.
Wasn't Viro the guys that actually fixed their lock after you pointed out that you could turn the core without the key with enough force? Props to them, they really seem to care about making good products.

The fact that none of the 4 pins were binding would make you suspicious and look for a hidden feature right off the bat.
Beautiful padlock
I am at currently at an airbnb with my thermostat locked out. LPL is motivating me to learn to pick locks just to keep cool.
They could have added more hidden pins which drop in after slight rotation of the core, to annoy you.
That's an idea. Have it so the pin drops in after you tension it and cause the lock to seize up such that you can't push the pin back back without removing tension.
motorcycle thief: thanks for the tip about the hidden pin.
So, anytime 'one' is stumped by a test lock, be sure to check for a little lipstick hiding in that place you rarely look.

this lock looks very safe to me based on how long you needed to pick this open.
hidden pin is also a good idea too but it's flawed because it doesn't unset while you're working the other pins.

“Requires Some Skill” i'll take it, enough for me.
Listening to this I feel like at a dentist during a dental check LOL.
If only this lock had a 10 mm shackle it would be a instant buy for me it is the receiver of LPL's "Requires Some Skill”
"video longer than 2min, must be a good lock"
That would have been interesting to disassemble the lock after opening
If LPL ever writes a book, it can be called, "Tools for Spools" or even "Spools for Fools."
You should start giving locks a rating out of ten.
add one for each 10 sec it takes for him to open. add one if he need special tools, one more if extra tricks needed (like the pin here), add one more if any other reason would make it deserving. Remove one or more, if he use some simply tool like hammer, blowing on it, red bull can, or twig with a leaf.
He's a lawyer, he's only going to tell us how disappointed he is in a product but is highly unlikely to every give a proper approval of any lock.
@@thorin1045 what if he needs his special tool Bosnian Bill and he made, does that get an extra point?
If he uses and magnet or doesn’t touch it deduct a thousand…he brought a whole new meaning to contactless entry in that video haha.
Wasn't Viro the guys that actually fixed their lock after you pointed out that you could turn the core without the key with enough force? Props to them, they really seem to care about making good products.
Thanks, now I can't use this one to keep the stalker out.
Nice added security for the lock 🔐
Here I was expecting another Viro junk lock... Turns out this one actually looks good.
