[488] Viro "Thor" Shutter Padlock Picked and Gutted

[@Ayreek]

Tape holding stuff together in a lock? Don't give Master new ideas!

[@catboygremlin]

Viro: You shall not open this! We put tape to ensure this! LPL: *disassembles* Sorry what?

[@robertclark3258]

Bravo! What a great pick. I'm continually amazed by the seeming ease with which you open difficult (for me, impossible) locks. Great job.

[@metamorphicorder]

LPL: this is a super duper lock and it has this and this and some of that and its hard to pick. lpl points his pick at the lock and open.

[@CuriousFocker]

Wow! they arrived a lot sooner than I expected. I thought another week at least. Anyway, a great pick and gut, and very informative as always. Those are the smallest driver pins I've ever seen, and the tape, that was strange. I'll have to have a go at the one in my collection now, although I suspect it will take me more days than it took you seconds! I may have a few more locks ready to wing their way to you soon. How are you with lever locks?

[@duratoke]

I think you as well! I have 2 Viros much older, a very large one, and a smaller. Very cool seeing how it comes apart. Not sure I will ever attempt this project though. Then again!

[@LockNoob]

I'm a big fan of Viro - they just did that dash of style with their locks. Nice picking too :-)

[@carllewis2207]

Great job, I never knew how those came apart. Now I've got to get one and try it myself! Thanks your a great teacher. Locks are my Rubik's cube. Can't get enough.

[@Vladimir-hq1ne]

Fast picking, good explanatory disassemble. Thank you!

[@danielroglich3309]

Wow great pick ,less than 1min 30 seconds. Thanks for the review brother!

[@larryg7336]

Nice detailed information on the pinning. Thank you for some good information, and nice picking Mr L.P.L.🔓

[@samueljames9342]

Tricky maybe, but you sure made it look easy. Great video

[@bird718]

thats a sweet 7 pin lock , those dam italians, i can't wait to see the morso, eurothor, totem etc...on this channel one day.

[@AndreaTozzini1993]

as italian, i'm going trough all your videos about viros or other italian made locks :D

[@drewe9514]

Bucca di beppodeccini-pie! 🎉

[@brianhignett8954]

Hi Harry, Another great Viro shutter, again the seven pins in the space of five, probably excluding a lot of highs and deep lows ( MACS ) Interesting to see it gutted, and well picked as usual. Regards, Brian.

[@davids7476]

I wanna see you put that back together.

[@serdargentsch735]

how do they cut the keyways in to the cylinders? I could not find a video about that on KZbin. 🤔

[@D8W2P4]

Here's a video on it, also the process is called "broaching". kzbin.info/www/bejne/fITPgJh-idt7aqc

[@Plumbusss]

Love your videos, and I find it funny how you're so modest, you said "I'm not the best lock picker by any means" but you are obviously amazing at what you do. Keep it up!

[@hughb5092]

His videos remind me of Rick & Morty when a narrator describes the intricacies of a "Plumbus"

[@floydeshbaugh1601]

I would like to see you put one back together

[@smuckerst8355]

If you melted the plastic would that allow the pins to fall out. could the platic be melted out to compromise the lock in some way.

[@menemme]

Smuckers T negative. Tested myself. Lock is solid

[@snoopdogie187]

The plastic is just for manufacturing, that is why it doesn't bother me. It is there to assist in easy assembly, but if you ever need to get the core apart, it will be messier. If the plastic wasn't there, the pins are just held by the metal body.

[@JEMHull-gf9el]

A really nice little shutter. Odd construction on the lock core though, using that fiberglass reenforced tape to hold it together, thats the sort of tape one often will seen in electronics construction. Also those are some really short spool drivers. I do like the finish as well reminds me of that Zeta locks soft brushed appearance. Another great vid from LPL.

[@JeffLMisc]

my guess it's just to keep the springs from popping out during assembly. the body of the lock will retain the pins, as i am betting it's a fairly tight tolerance in there.

[@theavidpicker2721]

Very nice picking LPLAWYER! These are very awesome locks!

[@Leonslockpad]

very nice picking buddy cool lock👍😊😊😊😎😎😎

[@laretus]

I thought from the name maybe this has something to do with Estonia or Finland, since Estonia is called Viro in Finnish

[@douro20]

Everything Viro makes is quite expensive no matter the product line...

[@menemme]

douro20 viro is considered relatively cheap in italy

[@Diego-bu7fh]

40€ per lock here

[@BD90..]

is viro italian....cisa is italian i think

[@douro20]

Yes.

[@Charliemmafan]

Would you consider this Viro Thor the best shutter lock you've seen or would you consider the MLok better or which one?

[@lmars5933]

very cool lock love it .nicely explained. thanks for sharing. 😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@franklinwerren7684]

For an expensive lock, the security could be better, like threading and not just spools. Tape, I wonder what the bean counters did to do that and do not give ideas to Master Lock!!!

[@WilliamMancel]

👏

[@timothybradek3560]

Of all people best at lock design / manufacturing, you would be the one most suited. Now admit, you've had to of thought many a times how you would have designed a similar lock more sure proof than the one you're working on. Thank you.

[@thelockpickinglebowski633]

One centimeter before meeting pin #1 is awesome. The key pins almost appear to have flat bottoms. Makes me wonder if the key pin tips actually touch the key bitting at the base of each cut or if the key pin tips ride the sharp outer tops of each cut.

[@semibiotic]

It is vunerable to bumping attack ? Do you test locks against that ?

[@Murat1982turkey]

Is it safe for motorcycles? Will it be cut immediately?

[@AntonyBril]

what are your thoughts on the double bitted key locks?

[@juanitom71]

what shutter lock would you recommend sold in the us ? with a thick shackle? ty

[@villian_von_badguy_ii145]

Nice Work.. Just out of curiosity .. How do you come by your locks..This one retails for about $200. Do you buy or trade ??

[@phoenixgamerz8088]

Why does it have hardly any views?🥺

[@luigitarantino9817]

do you think that is easier to open this thor or eurothor? because i'd like to buy this padlock but i wont take the better. please answer me...

[@uncle_moose]

Why do you not show the bible?

[@TrolldaMeir]

>tape Ah, Italia

[@bbrockert]

Does having the same tiny spool in every spot add any weaknesses? Easier to bump? In theory you could decode it by measuring the spring force on each pin, since it would be proportional only to the length of the key pin.

[@juanitom71]

hey LPL would you be interested in selling that thor lock?

[@dirk4926]

I wanted one, until I saw the tape.

[@Unnaymed]

Who know how to buy it in europe? without chain.

[@whathing414]

What do you think about electronical locks? Are they the best lock i can get for my home or is a 'normal' lock better?

[@whathing414]

Danny Blue Thank for your answer and Im gonna look at defcon what they have to say.

[@montaltomusic]

Is there any locker you can't open? I'm trying to choose the ones for my motorbike and after seeing your videos I don't trust any locker anymore 😅 can you suggest a very tricky one? Thanks

[@paulwheeless1080]

see his video #686

[@Brant92M]

It looks like the two actuator slugs are separated by a spring. Does that mean you can bypass the lock by giving it a good whack with a hammer and bumping the top actuator down into the cylinder? Hell, you might even be able to just shim it.
