I own one of these locks. I have it mounted on an automatic garage door. After getting my garage door broken into several times I finally found a padlock that nobody can pick. They might cut it off but they aren't going to pick it or bump it. I paid 225 for my lock and it's not brass I had it shipped from Bowley Lock Company in Canada to Georgia, U.S.A. It took me a while to learn how to unlock it with the key but once you get used to it it's as easy as any other lock. That key is not going to bend or break in your pocket. There is nothing made cheap about this lock. That key is stainless Steele. I love my padlock.

Uhhhh- Well, “difficult”. I think it’s basically impossible if you only use traditional to modern methods. You’d need a picking tool that’s shaped like that specific key to even have a chance to get to the pins. Amazing craftsmanship to make such a lock. I hope they can make similar locks, more compact, maybe cheaper.

[@the_undead]

It's because the cost difference between standard and security pins is so marginal that when you're making a lock the costs well north of $100 not adding security pins is just disrespectful to the customers at that point (this is realistically the case at any lock over $20 but that's besides the point)

[@Blobbyo25]

Thing is, this wouldn't be an original concept and he wanted to try and approach the project with no prior knowledge of locks. It's what made his original locks actually very impressive and difficult to pick (lpl didn't actually pick any of them he just exploited other weaknesses which are more easily removed)

[@fakecubed]

@@terrorhuhn9192 Yeah, you could build a very specialized tool that could open this easy. I have some ideas about the design. But such a tool would never be proliferated beyond a handful of ethical enthusiasts with a high degree of manufacturing capability who would never try to pick a lock they didn't own themselves. It would never have a commercial market, so they'd have to be custom made by said enthusiasts, and even if the plans were made available publicly, no criminal would spend the time and money to custom build their own for a lock they're probably never going to see in the real world anyway. The threat model becomes a state actor with an unlimited budget and they're probably not targeting you unless you're doing something very illegal or very unusual. And that that point, what is the chances for a sneak-and-peek over more kinetic alternatives by some tier 1 types at 3 AM ending with you in a head bag or body bag? If they wanted to do a sneak-and-peek, I'm sure they could always just destroy the lock, replace it with an identical one, and you wouldn't know the difference anyway. Heck, they could replace your whole door. They'd get things down even to the scuff marks and paint chips. Is there a weaker part in your security, such inadequate intrusion detection? A lock this good is only good for forcing a destructive entry so you can file a police report and insurance claims. Or, for simple enjoyment by lock nerds who like knowing they have one of the most secure locks on the market. I would say the latter is the majority of Bowley's current customer base.

[@giftofthewild6665]

Stuff made a similar concept where the pins weren't accessible to picking, although he used a different method to achieve that. It was actually quite a good design. He didn't know enough about bypass methods to guard for them though so that's how lpl got through it. With some tweaks it would be a good lock.

I think that Bowley's willingness to let LPL disassemble their lock on video speaks to the excellence of the design. Whats really smart about it is if you were to invent a pick for this, it would somehow have to be able to push in, then BACK DOWN the lock and still be able to push the pins in... and even if you COULD make a pick that complex, the components would be so thin that torsioning the lock would make them snap.

We use kilometres instead of miles and litres instead of gallons at gas stations but when talking about length and weight, we usually use feet/inches and pounds. Height, weight, how much you bench, the length of a room, size of your tv, length of a piece of lumber or a pool, etc. We use mainly imperial in government documents, even our height is listed in centimetres on our drivers licences but in everyday life we use imperial for height and weight.

[@caster269]

He said in the video he’d need to make a custom tool to pick it so it’s probably a lot of work to make a tool that’d only be usable on a very specific lock.

[@beloved_lover]

@@caster269 I think the u-shape pick also needs to be pin-specific because of the pin shield. You cannot pick all the pins with the same lenght tool. If there's a key, sure it's pickable, but I guess this would need 5 to 9 custom single picks and a lot of time.
