[29] Defective Hi-Shear LK1200 Picked to Control and Gutted

[@briansavage932]

This is the first time I've ever heard LPL get ticked off. 😮😮

[@Fanta....]

he has good reason to. the lock is basically useless with all the security features bypassed. the Hardened anti drill disk also looked like it was missing.

[@AzCowboyOne]

With a name like the "LockPickingLawyer" I am sure he thought it was in his best interest to process the refund...

[@lockpickinglawyer]

I wish I had an intimidating eBay name... Like "MMALawyer

[@Potti314]

Thanks for showing us this impressive lock (speaking of the housing). The fraud would not have been recognized by most other buyers, I guess. What did the seller say as excuse?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

No excuse offered. What could he say? Just offered option of partial refund (keep lock) or return for full refund. I'm doing return/full refund.

[@BCM1959]

@@lockpickinglawyer I think you should put the seller on blast. I understand why you don't, I think, but it won't matter in the long run. I'm sure some viewers will out him with the information you gave. Hopefully his days of cheating people are about to end.

This is the lock that is used to unlock the Cartel's money safe, in Better Call Saul (Season 5, E8).

[@AspiePickerr]

It sounds so frustrating. It's good to read you are getting a refund. Do not pay return postage costs, the seller has to pay these, even if he stated buyer pays for returns, because he broke the contract by not selling you what you ordered, at the very worst if he refuses eBay will issue you with a printable postage label in this type of case. I suggest you also contact "eBay Trust and Safety Team", the live chat support can refer you over to a member of this team. They are separate from the refund process, they are there to deal with sellers like this.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

I agree. Buyer is paying return shipping (at least he said he would). I'm not going to escalate this until after I have my money back.

[@jeffmoss26]

Wow. That is indeed a disappointment.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Yeah, I guess it happens. You're on eBay more than me... I'm sure you've had your share.

[@jeffmoss26]

I've had a few pin kits that were shipped improperly, thus everything was mixed together and useless. Did get my money back so it was okay.

[@debug9424]

+Jeff How do you find pinning kits on ebay? All I found are some overpriced nearly empty kits.

[@RAkers-tu1ey]

Thanks for the needed PSA

[@ICSpotz]

Saw a lock like this on Better Call Saul season 5 episode 8 and was thinking would like to see some vids "on as seen in" Movies/TV locks picked

[@Fanta....]

It is this exact lock, I'm impressed by the attention to detail in using a lock of high caliber as this one on the show. noticably absent apart from the sidebar on this lock, is the hardened spinning disk plate that sits in between the face of the cylinder and the inside of the opening of the keyway. this prevents drills from being able to effectively drill out the bottom to gain entry. this lock with the correct milspec cylinder and all bits actually present, is an absolute beast. This is the lock i'd want to use if i were storing bulk cash like they were on the show.

[@Zodliness]

If you got conned, you should get a refund from eBay and retain the lock, they don't normally demand that you return the goods if found to be defective or fraudulent. Always take photos or better still, a video when opening any eBay packages.

[@vancouverspecial9096]

Great video as usual - sorry to hear of your fraudulent lock. Cheers

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thank you.

[@NicholasAarons]

Unreal...! Do you think it was one of the Locks that were done for KZbin as a ("Look At Me I Can Pick A Hi-Shear LK-1200")? I hope you get your Hi-Shear LK-1200 in original condition. I own two of them in my collection one from 1982 & 1983 but unfortunately they came with no box or manual but otherwise they are perfect and in fact one of them came with a chain and bracket mount so I was very please with that. Keep up the great work. Nick.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

I returned this one. I'll eventually add a HS to my collection, but I don't have one for now. :-(

[@Snake_Charmers_jamie_j]

I have one NIB and two with only two keys(1 control and 1 round) but please look at that picture. It needs to have a metal tag not the plastic tags. That is an immediate kicker that its a medeco 833. I filed one down for an S&G 831. its close to impossible to find the black or red letter cores NIB or with all 3 keys and Medeco will not send blanks. Definitely a buyer beware situation. Hope this helps ease future pain.Good luck. Nicholas- If you want the paper (not really a manual) from the box .pdf'd I'd be happy to send it.

[@Xfolium1]

So sorry you had to go though that!!!!! That what you get from E Bay!!!

[@roadiesgarage3816]

I have one of these in working condition with a matching key I can send ya for a video. You just have to send it back. I need to find a replacement "ish" core, any ideas?

[@juanbaclavab]

what is he complaining about? the lock body and shackle are intact, which are the most important part of a padlock. there's thousands of cores to put them on it

[@Xcyp_]

if thats how you really feel ive got some padlocks for sale

[@jnadal]

Why do you think so much effort went into this (filing down the innards, making custom filed keys, etc)? Is there some motivation? Is the original medeco core worth that much? What do they run for vs. what was paid for the lock on ebay?

[@geoffrymcgary]

Saw some of these on ebay this week and even though the price was reasonable I just couldn't go for it because of this.

[@64akon]

omg i always wanted one great picking

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Me too... but not this one. It's still on my list. I have yet to find another at the "right" price.

[@bladactania]

What does picking to control mean?

[@yvessioui2716]

That lock has 2 levels, one is the ordinary one (a key to open the aft) and one to extract the core and change or modify it for managerial needs. Picking to control is picking to that second level, which usually ask for picking the previous level too. It is equivalent to 1 or 2 more pins to pick, here the notch at the back of the control key (study the difference between keys at 0m49s)

[@bladactania]

@@yvessioui2716 - so it's picking to get control of the inner mechanism.

[@yvessioui2716]

@@bladactania Picking is always to control/overcome the inner mechanism. 'Picking to control' is picking to control also the managerial part of that kind of lock, the kind that have an exchangeable core by design.

[@Fanta....]

Control Key allows quick change of new key cylinder in the event a key is lost. basically to make it easily serviceable in the field. The control key is usually kept in a secure place as a backup key as well.

[@billysmith5409]

I could tell of the tone of his voice that something was off.

[@MrMinigun457]

Hey I want to know would a core cost too much to replace? Or a new better core I dont know anything about locks these look cool though

[@yvessioui2716]

Usually, locks with control level are bought in batch from 1 company or agency. They buy at the same time a certain quantity of replacable cores. Obviously, a core cost less than a whole lock. When a change in the end user happens, or a breach of some sort, the manager has to change only the core and the old one goes in the replacement bucket. Much more effective and space saving than managing a whole box of complete locks, faster to replace... That means also you keep the same visual on your things as if nothing happen. So they don't cost less when buying them, they cost less on long term.

Gracias

[@Riyame]

... Did you really pay $210 for that? Return that or file a claim. I have ones in the box I sold cheaper than that. Riy from KP here BTW. Edit, just saw you are getting a refund. It appears that the seller took an 833 core and filed it. I have one left in the box but am waiting on a tailpiece to make it complete.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

No... Made an offer via pm.

[@treyf111]

I have several of these all original just no control keys let me know if you want a shot at one.

[@thelockpickinglebowski633]

Nasty rip-off. Thanks for the heads up.

[@THR33STEP]

DAMN!! Too bad it wasn’t the real deal!!

[@metamorphicorder]

dude! ive seen a lot of your other videos and you can tell how pissed you were! holy shit. well the bright side is even if you had bought it amd couldnt get it back, you still would have had one heck of a lock that no one would have messed with. you could have got the correct core eventually. while we are talking about expensive and exotic locks, have you ever tried picking a rotalock?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Yeah, I wasn't happy. >:-( But I got my money back, and have since picked up another one. :-) The correct core is very hard to find, and if you do find one, it is very expensive. As for a rotalock, I have one that made its way to me brand new, with a kaba 20 core... but no key. Picking the core took a little while, but I did get it open, and I replaced it with the Ikon R10 (MT5+) from video 250.

Wow. eBay isn't treating you well I see. Good to hear your getting your money back tho

Yup. That's two recently that have been doctored inside. Still, balance that against dozens of good deals.
