[1545] PODS Storage/Moving Disc Padlock

The superior lock picking feature was the grit inside the key way.

Imagine without the metal filings in there.. a breath of cool morning air would be enough to open it.

[@trumpetmom8924]

That’s what I was thinking. They poured sand in the lock so the rake would be slower.

[@Matt_Aquila]

LPL's wicked sense of humour is always a welcome appearance on his videos. I laughed a lot louder than I should have when he dumped the kiddie locks on the table.

[@Algaean]

Gorgeous, that mic drop with the toy locks is genius!!

[@garegaupa]

[@robertnett9793]

I mean, he could have thrown a bunch of Master locks on the table... But then again, the kiddie locks would also be more pick-resistant... So what he effectively says is: It's still better than Master Lock.

Watched enough of these and am starting to tell when the wave rake is coming out before it does due to how the keys look. Those teeth look little more than nubs.

There's some comfort to be had in the fact that at least he didn't use the jiggler.

[@hikaritsumi2123]

The video already ended when he pulled the wave rake, but the end credit is quite a good burn.

[@everettcross7210]

I worked abouit 9 years for Kwikset in California and another 9 with Schlag in Colorado. Locks are often made with heavier components. Heavier, not necessarily better components. This due to the psychology that people buy locks by weight. Kwikset actually sponsored a study on this in the early 1990's.

[@iagmusicandflying]

They should do a study on how to make better locks. Maybe that would increase sales.

[@Karmah01]

Just wanted to throw out a thank you for your videos! I lost the key to my storage unit, so I actually picked the lock (Master padlock) and it worked! It took me less than 30 seconds to open it once I put tension turner in the right direction 🤭. I know 30 seconds seems like a long time for experienced lock pickers, but I'm a 62 year old newbie lady. I'd say that's not too bad for a novice. Again, thank you! 👍

This is absolutely funny. I was visiting my ma when the notification of this video came up, realised that she uses the same lock to protect some inexpensive garden equipment ( brooms, ect) in a storage cabinet outside on the patio. She bought it pretty recently too, same model. Showed this video to my ma, she didn't believe it. So I quickly went home (I live down the street) to bring my lockpicking tools to rake it myself like 10 minutes ago to show my ma. After two failed rake attempts, I could hear a click and when I pulled the rake out, I saw the cylinder still stuck in it. I was just as shocked as my ma. You can even see in this video how loose the cylinder is on his lock. I bet with a bit of force his would snap too. If I could post pictures in here, I'd show y'all. Pathetic lock. My ma loves you now, LPL :D

Ok, so several years ago I used PODS to move houses. I still have the disk lock they sold me. I just went and grabbed it from the garage and there's no PODS branding on it. I did notice a small hole in the back that lines up with the keyway. If I put pressure with the turning tool and stick a hook through the keyway and poke it out the hole in the back, I can just turn the lock open. No raking, no picking. I can't believe this "protected" half the contents of my house for several days in the driveway. I'm so glad I'm starting to learn more about this stuff.

Dear LPL, could you, in a future video, spend some time explaining the difficulties in manufacturing and the costs associated with adding serrated and/or spooled pins to a lock? I'm curious how easy or hard it is for manufacturers to provide better protection against the simplest of raking attacks.

[@paulelderson934]

The cost of spooled pins is very low. But that would also require better tolerances in the machining, which is way more expensive comparatively.

[@limiv5272]

I had this style of lock but it was labeled "ABUS". Used it to lock up my 53' semi trailer before I retired. One early morning I went to unlock it when making a delivery. On my keyring I had a key for a "Yale" padlock that I used at home. In the darkness I had used the "Yale" key to unlock the "ABUS" padlock. It required just a little jiggling which I passed off to road grit and lack of lubrication. The same key blank fitted both locks. The saying is very true, "Locks only keep honest people honest...."

This is actually an amazing lock! My last was made of cardboard, so this is actually a massive upgrade. Tbh, it's similar to early IT Security.

[@paragamer85]

At this point, I’m convinced that LPL’s definition of“superior pick resistance” would have to involve: a depleted uranium casing, a shackle so precisely machined that it would be like of of those videos where you can’t see the cut lines in a block but then you lift it and a shape appears as if by magic, Gears made of tungsten, And any magnets involved would have to have an attraction force of 75lbs 😂

[@ChristofferOrrmalmUtsi]

Wouldn't he just use a strong enough magnet to open it up though?🤔 Magnet either attract or push away anywho....

[@aarondavis5386]

None of that would affect pick resistance. Moreover LPL isn't looking for an unpickable lock unpickable locks are few and far between the question is always how much time will it take to pick the lock. To that end it seemed clear he was looking only for spools/serrated pins to give this lock the benefit of the doubt.

[@emekos_]

he said it in the video. just some security pins. it's wild how low the bar is, and yet how cheap these lock making companies are.

[@exzyle2k]

As someone who worked in the storage industry and has tons of experience with those types of disc locks, the only "cutting" protection it offers is against someone with a pair of bolt cutters. The way the lock is designed, the housing is usually too wide for most smaller bolt cutters to get around, and the exposed part of the shackle isn't that great once it's on a latch. A cordless angle grinder and a metal cut-off wheel will get through that lock in likely less than 30 seconds. The others with the thicker housing, probably around a minute to 90 seconds, tops.

[@Kim_Miller]

I used to work in a social assistance program and we had a shipping container for storing donated furniture for our clients. It had one of those round locks. I knew it wasn't really secure but figured that anyone who got inside would only find old chairs and tables etc, and once the news got out to the 'I wonder what's in here' crowd, it was safe enough. The worst problem we had was one of our workers who kept losing his key, borrowing somebody else's and then losing that as well. We had to have lots of copies in the office because of this guy. I guess we should have had the key hanging on a hook near the lock.

yep... I had a similar lock from CubeSmart literally if I didn't pull the key out just the right way, you would be able to open it just by inserting something just enough into the keyway to allow you to turn it.
