[@creatip123]

After a few LPL videos, I'm thinking, instead of racing to make the 'unpickable lock', wouldn't it be more practically effective to make a 'dummy lock'? I mean, imagine installing a lock like the one in this video, but it's a dummy lock. The real key is a magnetic card or bluetooth passkey. Someone spends like 45 minutes picking this lock, unlocks the cylinder, but nothing happens. To fool a stalker further, the digital key can be in the form of a dummy key. Shaped like a key that you insert into the cylinder, but actually what unlocks it is the digital data inside the dummy key. A stalker thief will see you unlock it with a regular key, but pulls his/her hair out trying to pick it....

[@ahmedshaikha8938]

I’ll see if I can code that

[@morpheon_xyz]

That's gonna be an interesting application, as long as it's durable enough and able to work securely, even without direct electricity from the house, cuz some places such as my country have power outages, so it would suck to be locked out, or have a lock's security failing in an event like that, but still an interesting concept to work from nonetheless.

[@vincentmercier8464]

you know what I was thinking that would be super interesting to add to your videos in general, is a score on pickability, and and score on overall security. for example on every lock you pick you could say I would give a score of 88 out of 100 for picking security and 75% on overall security, this way if people are shopping for a lock either for lock picking sport, or either just to secure their motorcycle, they could see what you think of their specific lock. I think it woudl increase your views too! let me know what you think!

I really like that they machined the core instead of casting it, they even took the time to resurface the floating areas of the core (the parts that don't really rub up against any other parts. I mean it could use a little spit and polish but they probably never thought that someone would want to open it up. I kind of want one of these for my collection. Scratch that, there aren't any on the English-speaking web and my Chinese isn't good enough to mess around the Chinese-speaking boards.

Let's make it even more interesting... Add the same sort of 3-row pins at the 90, 180, and 270 degree points and they are all different from each other (i.e. the key can only go in one way). That would make it into a 52 pin lock... :)

I guess that little ball bearing gives a nice satisfying click when the user returns the key to the original position. The extra-wide keyway may be convenient for more competent pickers, it may actually serve as a challenge for novices, who often only have to think about in-out and up-down manipulations of the pick, without thinking about rolling or yawing, as the keyway usually keeps you right in line.

So if they can make a lock with 13 flipping pins, which most people would think of unpickable and high security, or advertise as such just to give ppl a false sense of security to sell cheap locks for a very high price....well that's what they do. Its all about the ILLUSION of security and safety. Big huge padlocks, fansy laser cut key, branding as unpickable, etc. All designed to fool the consumer into buying their product for high security. Its sad but by god it works and they damn well know it! Great vid btw! I one day hope to have your picking skills and start a career of my own! (And if not, have a skill set guaranteed to have a use!

[@stockyphilb7663]

Basic key lock of the future maybe? It didn't exactly make it impossible to pick, but you sure wouldn't want to have to pick in any kind of a hurry, and if you didn't know what you were doing it would be practically impossible to pick. Also having the side rows means having to pick it twice in mid turn! Definitely a challenge to the uninitiated.

[@WahooLee]

Amazing job of picking, as usual. What is in the side chambers that keeps the flat sides of those pins aimed toward the center of the keyway, and not spinning around? In the top down view of the plug (core) starting at 12:17 it looks like there's something that would prevent the pins from turning, but it's hard to see what. At around 12:34 there seems to be something inside the side holes, but I can't figure out how they would be able to put something in those tiny holes that could reliably stop the pins from spinning around. Thinking that it's hard to drill D-shaped holes and that it should be something easy to make on an assembly line, I thought perhaps the manufacturer drilled the side holes first, then drilled a hole down the center and put a round rod in from the back through the length of the plug to partially block the side holes, and then drilled the holes for the central row of pins. What do you think?

[@klausgeiben6608]

What prevents the sidepins from turning? The flat side should always face to the center to let the key passing through. But, as the holes are round, the pins could turn.

[@JFTN123]

No. The key holds all the pins at the shear line while turning the whole way, which picking doesn't do

[@DavidShepheard]

I've got to say I really enjoyed seeing you have to work harder than usual to pick this lock...and also working harder than usual to gut the lock. I've got massive respect to the Chinese designer who came up with that and for the factory workers who assemble the locks. it is a shame the lock company did well with the design, but got a bit lazy with the pins. I bet that locksport people could repin one of those locks and make it put up a much bigger fight. Is there any chance you could stick three rakes together to see if this lock is vulnerable to that sort of attack or to some sort of three-way bump key exploit? One other thing. I'm left wondering how they can cut keys for this sort of lock, at a locksmith. Is there any chance you or your friend can locate a video of a Chinese locksmith showing us a blank and cutting a key from it?

[@zzanatos2001]

When physicist Richard Feynman was working on the Manhattan Project (first atomic bomb) in Los Alamos, he frequently liked to work late into the night. But he often needed access to colleague's top secret files after everyone had gone home - so he learned how to pick locks - in America's most secure, top secret facility. He rapidly mastered lock picking, and things were going fine until one day when a colleague returned unexpectedly and found his office and classified files had been accessed by someone. When that happened, Feynman had to confess to his "dastardly deeds" and get a set of keys like a normal person.

[@wallstreetoneil]

i would have liked to see some raking! most of these locks with lots of pins seem to be vulnerable to raking since they're all standard pins and seem to be cheaply made. it doesn't take much imagination as a lock manufacturer to simply say "we'll add more pins!", because there's plenty of 5 and 6 pin locks that can give you a huge run for your money.

The goal here is not to open the lock, that is just the result. The enjoyment that this guy gets is from doing the difficult task. any idiot can brute force or break in. and destroying the lock means that you cant share this experience with anyone else or even try to do it again yourself to see if it was a fluke.

Thirteen pins in 3 rows makes for a difficult to pick lock. The time it took to pick this lock was over 3 minutes for the LockPicking Lawyer who is an expert in picking locks. In another video the LockPickingLawyer picked an ultra secure Kwikset Lock in 20 seconds. This Chinese lock would make a much better lock on a home than a Kwikset Lock.

What I found interesting. Is LPL is defintely an expert, and he was doing this in a controlled environment with prior knowledge about the lock. And he still struggled. Imagine some guy with a basic pick set trying to pick this lock

"LPL180+" rating (takes 180+ seconds for LPL to pick) == thousands of years for mere humans.

Awesome pick on a really cool lock. Such a shame they didn't add a couple spools and make a 6 pin.

i think the big thing with this video would have been you showing us how you managed to put it back together.

That is a beautiful looking core, tolerances didn't look so great, little bit waggly looking (might be the detent and ball though) overall a nice effort and against most people it would probably provide decent security against picking. As a side benefit as it would be just as awkward to pick closed you'd probably know someone had attacked your lock. Tricky gut too!

I’m nowhere near the expert lockpicker that you are but for someone for whom it is a passing, occasional hobby I would say that I am moderately good at it. I must say, that one of the more difficult locks I ran into had these weird pins with serrations or “steps” on them. The only reason I know this is because I bound the lock up trying to pick it because one of those “pins” slipped on a serration and bricked the lock. Then, it was essentially impossible to put the thing back together. I have never seen or heard of anything like it since though I bet to you it is common and well-known. Do you know of what I speak? What type of lock was this (it looked like a standard residential front door lock). I actually still have it somewhere if you need me to look at the branding. I suppose with a lot of time, effort and dedication I could put it back together... maybe.

I wonder if all those pin holes, being so closely spaced, makes this easy to destructively open by sticking a screwdriver in and wrenching on it

[@jamesdean7285]

How does the manufacturer machine the holes in the chamber to accommodate the flat sided pins? Thanks

[@skoronesa1]

That thing looks insanely awesome inside.

Over 3 minutes for LPL. Unpickable for an average locksmith. That's a good lock!
