[@archy234]

He had all the time to prepare and get creative, with all the tools accessible in his home (or office or wherever he films this). If you would be burglar or hired lock picker, you would have limited time and limited equipment on the spot, out of your home or office. Therefore any nonregular “unexpected” lock is a big stopping stone in my opinion.

[@adamwittke6044]

The different strength springs add resistance against low skill attacks like raking. They dont do as much to hinder single pin picking.

[@penfold7800]

...and don't forget that in this video, LPL didn't pick this flat on the desk to simulate the flat surface of a van door for example. If he did, you would have seen that pulling up on the tensioner between thumb and index finger is much trickier, and doesn't give the same feedback as just pushing up the tensioner with the thumb (as he did here). Same thing with the pick part of the tool. Bending your index finger up whilst hooking it under the picks finger knob will reduce feedback. It's possible, but a lot trickier than the way he does it here. I thought he might have made a specialised pick tool for this, with a 90 degree bend in the handle. Besides all that, to guarantee you had the right tool for a multitude of these, which are very likely to have different cores, you would need a set of lishi decoders, not just one, and that would probably be well above the budget of opportunist criminals. So, it's a very good design.

I currently have this very cool steel cone-shaped lock on my shed. I love that it's drill-resistant and it looks neat. It's very good except it froze up several times over the winter and I needed a hairdrier to open it. Mine has a brass core w/brass key and a blue silicone keyhole cover. The one that LPL worked on today has a different core that perhaps may be more cold weather-friendly. I put a call into Paclock to see if they have any suggestions to keep it from freezing up. If you get this, make sure your shed door design can accommodate for the two hidden bolt holes behind the lock itself. This protects against a bolt-grinding attack. Unfortunately, I could only use the hidden bolt on one side, as I had nothing to drill into behind the other side.

I mean, innovative shape against drilling, stainless steel pins, really hard to pick without a tool like the one shown AND all security pins, unbumpable, uncombable... And it LOOKS sturdy, so many thieves will try another target instead of this one since most of them won't bother with something this difficult.

[@aaronbredon2948]

They did simple but effective things to improve the security (positioning the core to defeat standard pick tools, variable strength springs, long driver pin to defeat comb picking, cone shape to divert drill bits).

It is no where near as easy has he makes it look. He makes it look like a Lishi tool almost does it for you... it does not... it helps with pick placement (which is surprisingly hard to completely master) but it does not help you with the most important aspect of lock picking: varying your tension by the right amount at the right time. I've been picking for maybe 2-2.5 hours a week on average for the past 6 years. Under ideal conditions I can do a core like this one (So good-to-very-good tolerances, tight but not outright hostile keyway and 6 pins with 5 being security pins) in about 4-5 minutes.
