[1400] Audi A4/S4 Door Lock Picked (2016 Model Year)

[@X1ongu]

This lock lasted longer than most of the usual suspects on the channel. Looking at you, 10/10 high security Masterlock...

i was a boy. they were 138 girls. can i make it any more obvious? thats right, i had a crazy dream last night. HAHAHAHAHA!!! im the funniest youtube star ever. youre welcome for laughing dear x

[@MrAdannor]

Yeah, when you're making a car you can afford to put in a good quality lock, as opposed to peddling mass produced trash where your main expense is buying botswarms to upvote you on amazon.

[@RedRingOfDead]

Shots fired 🤣

[@puppetsock]

The one time I locked my keys in the car and had to call a pro for help. He never went near the lock. First he chuckled that the car was still running since that apparently made his job a lot easier. He stuck this thin metal thing between the glass of the window and the door, and in about 3 seconds I was in the car again.

‘Little bit of skill’, that looked like more than a little bit of skill!

[@no-trick-pony]

nah, it's really not that hard. also with those tools you can write down or memorize your picking sequence and heights more precisely and get back to where you fucked in a new attempt very easily. it's usually more about getting a feel for the lock and what feedback you get means what. :)

[@nicjansen230]

it mainly took time and patience, but other than that, it was just applying the normal picking theories (like push a binding pin, stop pushing on click, leave alone if loose, ...)

[@defaultui9625]

Anyone can pick locks with these Lishi tools, they're very novice friendly. I briefly explained and showed a friend how to use the Schlage SC4 one and he was able to pick a door lock in a few minutes. He had zero prior experience with lockpicking.

[@Acaykath]

It was only a little bit of skill. Had he used his true powers, it would not have taken nearly so long - after all, this isn't even his final form.

[@philb5593]

I obviously can’t feel what’s actually happening, but I was just going by visual, trying to pick the lock has he did, but I was still way off. I thought number 2 was binding but he left it alone and I was thinking I might be a good virtual picker, but alas, I am not.

[@starkindustries26]

What I’ve learned in the years of watching you mr LPL is that with the right tool, no lock is safe

[@mrIsakify]

It's all about the right tool for the right job and knowing how to use it

[@GeckoOBac]

Yes, and it's actually a very interesting point. I was taught this in my first digital security course: most definitions of "security" include "availability" amongst the parameters because otherwise the safest computer would be one disconnected from electricity, in antarctica, inside a fully enclosed metal/concrete cube with no way to access it, guarded by armed patrols. Same deal with whatever a lock is meant to guard: as long as there is a *legitimate* way to get in, its safety is necessarily compromised... But if you want to also be able to USE whatever you're locking, that's the price you have to pay.

[@seriousmaran9414]

Bowley locks to ya. Have not seen him successfully pick one yet. Think only about 4 or 5 people worldwide have managed to do the simplest one. Nobody as far as I have seen has managed the padlock with double sided key. And they have a new design out now.

[@mannyman4103]

As a Professional Automotive Locksmith, I can get these picked quite a bit faster but they do require a ton of skill and finesse. I've been doing the locksmith thing at least 10 years now and started using Lishi tools about 6 years ago, along with the easy-reader and accu-reader tools... Thank you LPL for showing us some of the locks I deal with on daily bases and not only Residential locks...

[@tonyross3676]

you still can't start the car without the right key programmer but

[@minties01]

This was one of the best demonstrations of the "feel" needed to pick these locks. You can really see the response of different wafers as he tests them to see whether they are set or not.

[@NoName-qd5rw]

Question is why is he deliberately showing people how to do this shit? Does this strike no one else as odd as to why he’s showing people how to steal cars/other valuables and openly selling the fucking tools to do so?

[@Kintuse]

@@NoName-qd5rw People who buy knifes do not do so with malicious intent. Picking locks can prove to be a vital skill too. I had to watch his videos when I've lost keys to my locker and they've come in handy in saving the lock without having to resort to destroying the lock itself.

[@NoName-qd5rw]

@@Kintuse aye bro that’s cool but you coulda just had an extra key made for a couple dollars. But yeah, learning how to pick locks and buying said equipment is logically the next best step.

[@awhs5435]

The fact it took him, an experienced lock picker with the right tool, about 1 minute and 30 seconds to pick this, is actually pretty good compared to basically most other locks

[@martinpenwald9475]

Plus, he has his left hand over the lock, which is not possible if the lock is in a car. In real situation, picking wouldn’t be as confortable and would probably last longer.

[@d2doctor]

There are usually a few layers of serrations on the tops of the wafers in these locks which may be why this one took a little while to open up.

[@proberts34]

I really enjoyed the close zoom of the tool. It was helpful for understanding what was happening. Thanks for posting.

[@jonathancurtis783]

Being able to visualize the amount of pressure your placing, and your decision making with the movement your getting, really helps. Thank you.

Good to see the HU66 being carried now in your store! I asked your store about it August of last year :) Now I too, can get to picking.

It needs electronics to disable to alarm. But with a quick open, he can certainly swipe all the valuables left in the cars.

[@cavewater]

I have a 2008 A4, no remote start, just good old fashioned key in ignition. I always thought the key grooves were so unique but I guess I'm glad it needs a somewhat specific tool in order to pick!

Very pleasant and clear voice, us wanting to learn how things work, us wanting to be mindful of security, LPL goes straight to the point after a very brief explanation, us enjoying a highly skilled person making something difficult seem easy.

[@EternusNex]

Compare this to other information channels that are 10-15 minutes long and usually have a hypothetical question for the title. After a quick subject history lesson before naming the sponsor, then asking and rephrasing the question of the video, then getting to the actual sponsor bit, then answer the question, you can get frustrated that they are not getting to the point. LPL explains the lock, gives a reason for showing it. Shows the tool he's going to use and then picks it. There is no padding or sponsor. You know exactly what you are going to get.

As locks begin to implement more electronic access and verification I think they’ll show more vulnerabilities. Also, most systems still have keyed backup…

[@Igerster80]

Really liked this one. That tool really helped to visualize what you were doing.

[@greendryerlint]

I find the LIshi tools to be a great training aid as you don't have to worry about positioning the pick or tension wrench, allowing you to focus on the feel of when pins are binding and set, especially with security pins.

[@Amalienstr49]

Attention: This could be problematic. In my BMW the alarm will start when opening a door with the key, after the car was locked with the remote!

[@Steamrick]

not if the battery is dead enough to lock you out ;)

[@SparxI0]

My Audi doesn't do that, either with the metal fob key or the plastic backup key.

[@mxl12]

Same with my VW Golf MK7: One day the remote failed and I had to open the door with the keyblade (while the alarm was set). The alarm went of as soon as I pulled on the door handle but stopped when I turned the ignition lock

[@Ontheregz]

Usually you need to turn the key twice to the unlock position to deactivate the alarm. At least on every car I have owned with a factory alarm.

[@doug7131]

Car alarms generally have a backup battery that's independent of the main car battery. So it will work even if the main battery is flat or removed.

It took an expert with a very special tool to open this lock....I would say it was secure enough.

[@ClubXrock]

Hi all. I've been doing this on a few cars and have managed to open all of them - some quickly, some in quite a while. However, if I have any tips for you, it would be to not over-focus on the binding wafers. Instead, reduce your turning pressure and zero in the subtle wafers, particularly the ones that generate a bit of rotation. Oddly enough, on everyone I've unlocked, it's always been the case that only some of the wafers needed to be picked, and many of the binding ones were untouched. So if you have had no luck, change your approach and go for finesse and not attack.

[@TravisStamper]

Dang I got here early. Thanks for the video

[@EtotheFnD]

[@GreenAppelPie]

[@SkippyDa]

And just so you know, your legally owned car will still have an alarm, because the key isn't present. So only do it when your battery is empty.

[@convictions181]

tbh, I was surprised to hear LPL say it didn't put up much of a fight. He almost never has to cycle through a lock this many times.

[@daniellane9076]

How do you know 2 is set rather than just binding? what feels different?

[@LeonardRoberts]

When binding you can feel the pin against the sheer line, when set the pin will feel "dead" no spring tension against it, when not binding or set can feel the spring tension.

[@philb5593]

2 fooled me as well. We’re definitely missing that physical feedback.

[@ipick4fun27]

pay attention to the left hand where he tension it. If it's binding, the feedback usually is felt on left hand as well. He just didn't go into too much detail as it is not a lock picking tutorial. Otherwise, it will be way to long for his liking.

[@kingzach74]

I don't know if you read your comments but I was watching Gone in 60 Seconds last night and there were a variety of methods used to get in the cars. One that I noticed was Eleanor's lock seemed to have simply been raked to start the car. Given that you're making modern car lock videos we can assume that's probably movie magic, but since it's a 1967 mustang maybe the locks were different?

I once locked the keys to my BMW Z4 in the trunk. I called a locksmith, but because of the “laser-cut keys” that was typical of Beamers, I was doubtful that the locksmith could help me out. To my surprise, after about 10-12 minutes, he successfully opened my trunk. I figure the LPL could have done the job in half the time, though.

That tool looks like it can open any spaceship out there.

[@Max_Jacoby]

Why counterrotating never resets some of the previously set pins? It seems like a perfect design of unpickable lock but somehow it never works that way.

[@jardex2275]

The thing to consider here is that this would only get the thief in the car, not start it. Just make sure nothing worth stealing, such as laptop bags or purses are visible from outside the vehicle. The best deterrent is to make yourself less of a target.

[@mittfh]

With car locks, there may be electronic ways of both getting in and disabling the immobiliser: recently a few miles away from me, someone had a locked Range Rover Vogue stolen from a supermarket car park, apparently with no visible signs of entry (presumably via CCTV footage since it hadn't been recovered by the time of the police statement), and likely not by opportunists, given the vehicle's tracker was removed...

[@joeblow5214]

Key Fobs transmit a signal along way, so it's trivial with the right software and hardware to copy the signal signature from the fob which is almost always broadcasting, and use a piece of hardware that retransmits the signal and can even defeat the interlock, tracking, and even make a new key. These devices are on sale on the web for a several thousand dollars.

[@ejonesss]

car alarms and interlocks only work if they have to be disarmed with the key fob first. since manufacturers dont expect the locks to get picked i doubt they would require the alarm and interlocks to be handled by the keyfob only and may only protect against forced entry. however hopefully now that these videos are out there car makers will start to see the need to add additional security should the lock get picked if they have not already

Watched so many of your vidos, just went and bought some tools from you, any advice on locks to practice with? Also, over here, we got a lot of old locks, how do you work those? I work in a pub, and half our locks take 20+ attempts for the keys to lock or unlock the doors, they're old af, dude. Any way I can rehabilitate them so we don't have to replace the locks? Old style keys.

[@martineyles]

Does this mean that it is hard to steal the car itself, but not to difficult to steal the valuables within? That's quite worrying. I hope my insurance would still pay out.

[@boxr_4214]

i’m not sure about all cars, but my car sounds the alarm when the mechanical key is used instead of the remote, presumably because the owner should rarely be using the actual key and it’s reasonably likely that the door was picked instead. also, this tool is specific to only some car models and years, and costs quite a bit. it’s unlikely that the average car thief would have one of these because they’d need a bunch for all different cars. smashing a window is a much simpler optionz

[@martineyles]

@@boxr_4214 So I suppose the message is to not leave valuables on show, to avoid a quick smash and grab from an opportunist. Luckily, any valuables I have tend to be out of sight in the boot.

[@type17]

As Boxr_4 says, most thieves will just break a window for items in the car. These picking tools are mainly used in the trade to re-key a car where the keys are not available (stolen/recovered, repossessed, etc). You can note the setting for each pin, and then cut a new key from that info (the radio-link to the immobiliser is another matter, though - you'll need to take the car to an Audi dealer with proof of ownership - but a key lets you unlock the steering to get it on the truck).

[@vaisravana2092]

Yes, that is probably true. I mean I would not expect a thief being after random valuables possibly stored in random cars to carry a stack of specialized tools for various car brands with him just on the off chance he spots one with a wallet inside. If a thief carries a specialized tool I would assume they would rather be after the car itself or various high priced parts in an organized operation.

[@MorellioBenoir]

Yeah if you tried this on a car the alarm would go off for sure. This'd be most useful if your battery died and you wanted to get in to pop the hood without paying for a locksmith to do it. They'd probably just separate the door from the frame and unlock it from the inside though. :)
