He did a talk at a security conference with the requirement that attendees couldn't reveal his face.

You've fixed the main flaw with this type of tool: size and portability. Folks should know that the newest Adams-Rite types cannot be bypassed with this or similar tools, but the majority of these locks in use today are still of the old style as they're robust and tend to last a long time.

[@AaronOfMpls]

@P RO -- Indeed, YT showed me an ad for one of those newer locks after the _other_ LPL video about commercial door locks like these. And it was advertised as being immune to this trick -- though I'd still love to see an attempt on one.

[@DrCarrico]

The Adams Rite locks I tried this tool on have roll pins installed on both sides of the “pin” you are trying to catch. Those roll pins don’t allow the hook to grab the pin. Not to say this tool doesn’t have a place, but our FD won’t be putting this tool in our kit, we will stick with spinning the lock cylinder out to trip the latch. That way, we typically only need to replace the lock cylinder’s set screw, which we shear off when spinning the lock cylinder out.

[@mcdappert]

I was a service tech for years working on doors just like these. I wigh i knew about this tool it would have saved me so much time on doors with broken cylinders!!!!!

@@jessetheunending9357 they are in wide use and many locations have been open for decades with the same locks as when they first opened. Everything wears out eventually and all that metal on metal contact at least 2 times a day 90% of the days in a year for 20+ years will wear out any lock if you don’t change the core occasionally. The key wears out the pins/springs and the pins wear out the chambers which lead to the cylinder binding or the lock just not opening any more due to pin wear if you don’t insert the key just right.

It's break prone, i suggest having one of the center parts bend at 90 from the body to give it a bit more stiffness. Source: i had a similar tool that's used to measure eyeglasses (kinda like how a ring maker uses the stick to figure out how much they widened the ring) and it bent and eventually broke. As for the lock, there's a mod that's easily done where you drill a hole through the mechanism just a little bit lower than the issue, and if you insert a pin before putting it into the door, it can't be done this way because the pin blocks a direct path to the tool. Honestly, this is something every owner should do. I think there's (or was) a guy that sells a drill bit, a template and a pin for this, i saw it back in 18 on a reddit post.

The lock in the front door is the least of your problems if you're after anything of value that might be inside a bank.

[@sarowie]

@@orngjce223 Given that a police officers does not have to risk his health for a human at risk: How likely is it that the bank staff is risking their health? I doubt it goes as fare as some gas stations (handing over the cash), but both system relay on camera for law enforcement and safes for bulk cash storage.

[@cola98765]

My guess is he opens random doors and tells people inside that they left the door open.

[@SocksAndPuppets]

he's a lawyer, so I imagine he opens locks in his free time.

[@-Jethro-]

Some say he breaks into random buildings to use their computers to watch cute cat videos.

[@Radiodragonofdoom]

I'm assuming he has an alarm in his office hooked up to a smart speaker system that only listens for phrases like, "Damnit, I forgot my keys!"

He no longer practices law. He has a security consulting business. KZbin and his online store are what he does in his spare time.

I used to work at a commercial door installation company and we installed those locks ALL the time. The thing about it is that most every place we installed these there was a security system and often also cameras installed. Just a reminder to have independent layers of security.

[@BlaubartMT]

Yup. Even onions have layers. Why shouldn't your business?

[@theBabyDead]

In my country, doors always close on the inside with the door being inside the doorframe at about 1" depth on the locking side. Tools like these would never work in that situation, not even with a crowbar (unless you are planning to destroy the doorframe, which means you would also not need the tool). It's still weird to me the US has such easily picked doors

[@kenbrown2808]

in the US, it is mandatory that the door on any building the public goes in must be able to be opened with 50 panicked people trying to push their way through it. if it is meant for more than a handful of people to be inside at a time, it must open JUST from having the panicked people pushing and being pushed against it. this means the door opens outwards, and is either designed to break open under force, or have "panic hardware" where it is not possible to be pushed against the door without pushing the latch open. it has to do wih the number of disastrous fires we've had where people were crushed against doors by other people trying to escape.

[@ElementofKindness]

I had to think about situations I've faced. All storefronts, it would work, but offices inside, using this same lockset type with inswing doors, you are correct, wouldn't be able to be defeated by this tool.

[@cameronjadewallace]

Look, our locks are like our car parts. We could make them better, but it's just not profitable... 🙄

[@ElementofKindness]

@@cameronjadewallace you're right, but it's still pretty sad, that adding a 5 cent metal stamping, hasn't happened in the 20+ years of this lock design. Also, I think it's more of a "weakest link" issue. Make the lock too good, and a criminal will extort the next weakest element. It's why I never bothered to lock my convertible.

[@PieterDeStickere]

@@ElementofKindness Good call imo, someone I know got his roof cut open twice because of this exact reason. He stopped locking.

Not a locksmith, first responder or entry specialist, just a BRAT who enjoys your videos.

[@johnrich6928]

My various careers have involved me learning from police investigations that due to very few burglars (relatively) having these skills, no signs of forced entry does increase suspicion as to whether or not a burglary has actually occurred. I am also aware that, in the UK at least, carrying such a tool without a reasonable excuse can amount to a crime called 'going equipped' Be careful out there.

[@Mister_Brown]

in virginia it's possession of burglarious tools

[@baylinkdashyt]

In the us, that offense is commonly called 'possession of burglary tools', though whether you can get tapped for it merely by *actually being in possession of those tools* depends, I gather, on the jurisdiction. In some places, you need extra elements of the crime. Being a licensed locksmith is generally an affirmative defense.

[@gathin1]

He has mentioned in past videos about how it's illegal to carry these tools in some states. However just start your own locksmith business and you'll be covered in some cases! Lol (not legal advice) (also speaking from a USA perspective)

[@johnrich6928]

@@baylinkdashyt same here, but without so many jurisdictions, across the UK the law is almost identical no matter where you are, minor exeptions for Scotland, Ireland/ Northern Ireland, but this law would be the same I expect. A locksmith would be expected to be able to provide a reasonable excuse for having such a tool, billy burglar at 3 in the morning wearing latex gloves......not so much.

That would be a start against this tool, but it wouldn't be hard to fashion one a little longer to get around the plate. The lock itself needs to be replaced with a version without the flaw.

The locks on glass doors are pretty much to keep people from entering accidentally. It is, after all, a *glass* door.

[@donmoore7785]

Yes. Seems like it would have to go the entire length of the door to not be a hazard to clothing/skin.

[@datdabdoe1417]

Yeah that'd work. But then the door wouldnt be able to open outwards. And I think its a Fire Code thing that High Traffic doors have to open to the outside, to prevent tramplings.

[@dons8122]

if it is a out swing door some places have a lip that goes over the area but if you have a in swing door can't put one on due to employees or customer could catch them on it and well you know how sue happy this country is.

This tool would actually be quite helpful, in my field. I even carry spare locksets, to be able to practice with. Edit: actually, I take that back. Most doors where I'd run into needing a tool like this, are inswinging and this tool wouldn't work on them.

[@pabeader1941]

I think that's the reason for the extra length and the two sides. If you have an in swinging door, you would use the 'other' hook and reach the same part of the mechanism.
