[695] Knog Strongman Bike U-Lock Picked

[@BandanaDrummer95]

"The tools [to pick this] are rare and expensive" *designs a tool to pick this and gives the design to Sparrows to make it affordably* Now it's just the skills

[@mushenji]

This would be very easy with "the tool that bosnian bill and i made"

[@FilthyGoose]

I was going to ask around what video number that pick has begun being featured

[@metamorphicorder]

Super easy barely an inconvenience.

[@haolehonu]

I’ve had two of these locks and have used them daily for over 6 years. Solid performance

[@windyrun7979]

Where do you buy them?

[@Kraken1000]

Since I have no doubt that you don't supplement your income by going round the neighbourhood lifting bikes, this lock seems one people can trust!

[@jeffersonroberts8263]

That’s a triple negative( g r a m m e r n a z i)

[@Kraken1000]

Jefferson Roberts -How triple?

[@tomhejda6450]

(1) I have doubt that, (2) no, (3) don't.

[@Kraken1000]

Tom Hejda - No. You can't mix up the word order. 'I don't doubt' is the first negative; 'you don't' is the second, double negative.

[@Kraken1000]

Please read my original statement which says: 'I have no doubt that'... You keep missing out that 'no'.

[@J_God_Yamaxanadu]

Anyone with enough drive and expendable income to acquire the skills and expensive custom tool is probably not gonna be the sort of person stealing a bike. Pretty great lock

[@MaakaSakuranbo]

You'd think someone would already make a lock putting all the recommended anti-pick features together in one lock

[@bird718]

if they did that, then they would not be able to sell people more locks

[@VicariousReality7]

Abloy does.

[@MaakaSakuranbo]

Sure, just been watching a bunch of these videos in the past few days and there seem to be a few things he always mentions on one or another lock on how it could be improved. So it seems odd noone just has a lock that compiles all of them :D

[@elias0502]

This one seems to go a long way: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emfZmqJ_hbutg5Y

[@earthchan9171]

Because after a while it becomes redundant. Eventually, if a lock becomes impossible or nearly impossible to pick, then the lock itself (or the door/window it's attached to) becomes the weakest link instead. No point in installing an impenetrable lock on a door that can just be kicked in.

[@micahh9351]

It appears that disk detainers get the most praise WELP TIME TO GO BUY AN OXFORD BEAST

[@BadgerMonkey]

I bought this lock due to this video.

[@mittensfastpaw]

Badger Monkey His videos are also why I want to buy paclock but none are near me!

[@ariesmars29]

"Person like me" That is true! You are one of the best!

[@mittensfastpaw]

But.. but.. the pick you and Bosnian Bill made!

[@benb3316]

Just found this after the Bosnian Bill one. You picked it amazingly fast, but again having specialist tools and knowing what you are doing I trust your support of this. Now, I can tell neither you nor BB want to destroy this thing - probably a lock to use or send to someone begging you for a secure lock.

[@danielroglich3309]

Sweet lock. Great picking as always and thanks for the review

[@AlbertLebel]

Outstanding as always LPL. And I agree, the skills you have and the right tools required here are extremely rare. I could not imagine any low life picking one of these open. Thanks for sharing

[@_baller]

8 discs? Pretty good, this would get with a saw attack if anything

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

All my locks ran away last night and left a note saying they can't live with me LPL horror films I play. They will return if I don't play them in front of them. Poor locks! 😂

[@KetterHomeImprovements]

LPL, At the risk of repeating so many others.... You are the King when it comes to picking...

[@samdeur]

It does look good. Time to see how hard it is to pick by the master himself ;-)

[@Leonslockpad]

Very cool and to get the extended version of the disc detainer pick nicely done buddy👍😊👍😊😎

[@cameroncobb2034]

How does it fair against the Ramset gun? Or hydraulic bolt cutters?

[@Baontoes]

i recently found your videos and can not stop watching them, its really cool how you pick with such ease to someone who has never tried it. keep it up :)

[@wesdresen9994]

Always impressed with your picking ability. Seems to be a good lock.

[@nmccw3245]

Great pick. Thanks LPL.

[@dannyflo5373]

When are you going to make your own line of locks?

[@oneinamillion4130]

Can you do a follow-up video with a destructive attack?

[@ewatfred]

Please take it apart!!

[@sh4dowchas3r]

Ideally with the ramset.

[@sagittarius0643]

fredmackay n

[@experimentalarmy4495]

i have LOCK TRUST ISSUE after subscribing your chanel

[@william21186]

I'm guessing that is the tool you used before you and Bosnian Bill created the one you are currently using. After watching a lot of your videos this is like watching an old school version. Another great video 👍👍

[@gunnarparment5050]

If the price of specialised lock picking tools is higher than the price of a battery powered angle grinder, I'd say the lock is good enough. (Edit: fixed grammar)

[@johndododoe1411]

Battery powered angle grinders are available for the cost of stealing them. Professional users of such are advised to secure them with really good locks, similar to how BB protects his locklab.

[@rcsendandblast1579]

Very nice looking lock Your a great lock picking artist. 👊😀

[@JohnDoe-fn1me]

Another great video LPL! 1. How would you compare this disc detainer lock to Abus X plus one? 2. Do you think other similar locks would benefit from having core deeper in the lock? 3. Why don't you try to have the locks x-rayed when you can not examine them in non destructive way?

[@huxleypig69]

This lock is nowhere near as good as Abus X-Plus. I go into detail about how to pick X-Plus in my OzSecCon talk (as well as Protec). Putting the core deeper into the lock is a pretty poor defence, it is very easily gotten around! So while it might help a bit, it won't stop anyone with determination.

[@silassmith354]

The mere depth of the core... BRUTAHL!!!

[@martintaylor984]

Hey lpl I found a vintage Taylor pin and tumbler pad lock have you ever heard of these? There is t even a screw in the shackle hole to open it up

[@BD90..]

Also I don't see someone going through the hastle to locate a bike with this lock, make or buy a tool to pick it, learn how to pick it.......when a angle grinder is easier

[@mihailos5492]

@The Raisin Ooooh. Haha... bruuuutaaal. What if you had done this in correct English and written "anybody WHO wants to attend?" And I might have whipped out some 6th-grade-and-above skills and used a semicolon, instead of your first period; that would have been an AWWWWESOMMMME BURRRRRRRN.

[@mihailos5492]

@The Raisin You tried to shoot down an innocent person, but your bullets were weak. Now, you're embarrassed. But there's no reason to claw at ME; I'm just the messenger. If you had done it better, or-- preferably-- behaved better, your ego would still be intact (in this matter, anyway). By the way, curiosity led me to click on BlackDolphin90's account, and it appears that he's a nice, polite, warm, generous, wise, moral, and good-hearted young man, who's GIVEN hundreds of hours of his time to the world. He has veritable ADMIRERS and brings genuine joy to MANY peoples' lives. Damn!... He and his parents are RARE bright stars that help sustain whatever trickle of hope may be left for humanity. I'm sorry that you felt it necessary to make his life cross paths with yours. I have hope that he never saw your comment, but you should apologize, just in case he did.

[@dyvel]

BB suspected false gates in the same model, are there several versions as far as you know?

[@jacobid1696]

You should try the grinder. It would have to fight that silicone. Also I wonder if it would soften the blow of the Ramset

[@N0B0DY_SP3C14L]

My guess is that your new pick will make short work of this thing.

[@bird718]

i wonder if the strongman u-lock is made out of steel or pot metal?

[@taniaxomunic.1531]

Interest me to see what have inside... open it please. Good job.

[@chillired5389]

Certainly ever so much better than the Knog bicycle lock you featured in video 850 in which showed a high quality chain but very low quality padlock, opened in 5 different ways... Maybe Knog can get at least something right?

[@kyozoku1]

What the hell is there a lock that takes you longer than 1 minute to unlock? geeze lol

[@oasacademy4953]

About the first bike lock you picked you seem to endorse. I saw a video of BosnianBill being defeated by one. couldnt get deep enough into the core.

[@rockytoady5875]

You should show one of the horrible Dollar Tree chain bicycle locks

[@T2uyu]

Sir can you recommend a lock with anti pick feature? Thanks

[@thorlancaster5641]

It'd be nice of this could be taken apart. You could file in some false gates and get something on par with an Abloy classic. Not sure why Knog didn't do that. It'd cost pennies and make it more secure (although it's excellent already).

[@scoobatronixscoobatronix2839]

And in the news the knog bikelock shares skyrockets above apple post lpl endorsement🤣

[@WCGwkf]

That tool looks incredibly easy to make

[@VicariousReality7]

The tools to pick my finnish padlock do not exist...

[@huxleypig69]

You think?

[@chrisose]

It would seem to me that redesigning the disc detainer to move the tension ring to the back of the lock would make it far more difficult to manipulate.

[@annando]

Would be nice seeing this lock in some destructive test.

[@stephencresswell4760]

I’d like to see that attacked with brute force.

[@Majorhantines]

Would you please attack this lock with your screw spreader?

[@laurencewest]

Is the Knog Bouncer just as good? E.g. is the distance in the locking mechanism enough to limit risk.

[@C...G...]

will it withstand the ramset....???

[@thebestever333]

Do you think someone can fit boltcutters in the space where the shackle locks?

[@DonzLockz]

What's with going head to head with Bill lately?🤔 I like the small Knog padlocks too. 😎✌

[@chadnelson9926]

Do a video on the Abus Granite U lock

[@davejoseph5615]

In a disc detainer lock shouldn't it be possible to design the internal spacers so that they would interfere with the use of a picking tool? Why is there room to move the tool from disc to disc? In other words if the spacers forced the tool to be at angle 0 degrees then how could the tool successfully position a disc at 45 degrees and then escape to the next disc?

[@Pyrolock]

Interesting thought -- I'll have to ponder that one -- seems obvious -- Perhaps I should pull the disc stack apart from an Abloy Protec II and see if they have already used "slotted, non rotating" spacer (I hate pulling the disc stacks apart as it's such a mess to get it all back together properly!)

[@Pyrolock]

I thought about a bit more and realized the problem would be with the KEY, i.e., the key has to rotate and it would be trapped by the fixed spacers, or the key spaces between bittings would make the key way to fragile to be practical.\ with a tiny round shaft between each cut

[@huxleypig69]

You'd need cutouts on the key to match. It'd be warded essentially. Abloy used to put fixed discs in their Classic which acted in the same way ultimately. The key had to have a 5 cut and the disc never moved. It stops some picks from working. There is a Russian Classic knock-off that uses a series of them, like a type of rotational key profiling. Abus do a 'pick trap' washer in their X-Plus which is designed in pretty much the way you describe. They key has a cutout on it and the disc behind the trap-washer is always a 0 (it is the deepest disc in the lock); so you have to turn it around to 0 in order to pick the lock but then at that point your pick can't get back between the discs, not without resetting the 0 disc you just set at least. You can get around it though.

[@davejoseph5615]

It does seem that round slots/sections would be necessary in the key, so I admit the key would probably need to be made of steel.

[@yozarian86]

I always wonder if it’s possible to pick a disk lock with free hand tools. Without one of these fancy picks designed for precision accuracy.

[@rogersyversen3633]

why are not locks using electronics burried in hardened steel that opens with a card?

[@RouteBGP]

LPL, would really like to know what's under the shiny plastic. You do too... :D Would say "Bet 'ya $5 there's a cast zinc part in there somewhere." but saying something like that would infer betting...

[@pascalbruyere7108]

In real life, do bicycle locks get defeated via picking, or other means? I thought they were almost always being destroyed.

[@mattedward6155]

Possible destructive attacks?

[@hsteix]

is this safe if you try to cut it through?

[@RafaIdzkowski]

what is the best bike lock?

[@davidperry4013]

Please RAMSET gun that lock

[@ger128]

It would be difficult to hold the lock like that if it was attached to a bike and a bike rack.

[@xavierrivera9130]

Cool one for sure

[@sanleon1314]

As of today, Knog no longer offers ANY bike locks for sale on its corporate web. The public has voted on their poor quality offering and Knog has been righteously ejected from the market.

[@jamesfox2734]

Can you do car locks.

[@W00fer]

It's quite strange that this lock only has 3 out of 5 Stichting ART stars, the Dutch certification industry standard. They do not do use picking but use brute force techniques. I guess picking difficulty and brute force difficulty don't go hand in hand.

[@jimbojet8728]

If this Knog lock, operates as Knog lights do, then no need to pick the lock. It will simply stop working very soon !

[@J47470]

How about trying a abus granit x plus. I was thinking of buying one of these locks for my newly painted bike.

[@hertzyscowicz7066]

I think he might still have the core part of that laying around from the when he busted one open with a nut splitter a while back.

[@slavrine]

Got my bike stolen today with this lock+another u-lock+cable lock. Don't buy! On that note, what do you recommend, LockPickingLawyer? New York Fahgettaboudit U-Lock ? Abus Bordo 6500?

[@beardyface8492]

All that proves is that if thieves want your bike they'll remove any lock, probably destructively.. I recommend welding your bike frame to the rack, or sawing through it.. make your bike worthless to them (sadly to you also) and they won't steal it Alternatively replace your bike with a really rough looking used one, and even a masterlock padlock & 6mm unhardened chain will suffice. All locks do is stop casual theft.. not "professional" thieves.

[@thorlancaster5641]

Should I trust this for my $1000+ bike? I probably would, as long as I used 2 for added deterrence.

[@tomhejda6450]

Well, 13mm of stell ... someone might cut it quite quickly anyway. Battery angle grinders, or even a saw, if you park at the same spot repeatedly, they can cut the lock slowly in couple days.

[@SpydersByte]

so this lock in incredibly hard to pick for someone who isn't an expert making his own tools and that's because.... because it's set deep into the lockbody? wtf? Why does it always seem like the fix is so simple yet so rarely used?

[@texpatriot8462]

Ramset that Beast!

[@working2bselfsufficient724]

Can you do the lock that the anitfa bike lock attacker used plz? Just Google and you'll see the story if your not aware of it. Should pick that lock.

[@rileyfenley522]

working2Bselfsufficient i remember a joke about that, but i don’t remember if it was by him or in the comments of a previous video.

[@working2bselfsufficient724]

Riley Fenley I just see he's always opening bike locks and figured he should open the bike lock attackers lock.lol Someone else probably has also said it. He has his court date coming up.Stil hasn't gotten in trouble in court yet. Crazy how if it was anyone else they would've not let them out.lol Owell politics aside would be interesting to see. L8r 🍻

[@johnsavage6628]

A lock is only meant to buy some time.

[@horatioswrld]

Is this why a pick had to be made????

[@SasPes]

Very nice ;) Bravo!

[@fredlast4547]

this lock is identical as the one sold under the BTWIN brand in Europe for £20

[@defaultzenabled4261]

But can it stand up against a,ramset

How will it stand up to a torch will the silicone burn melt off leaving to fall apart.

I was only asking because he could not take it apart, as he undid the screws, but the silicone was stopping it. I would like to see one, lock picked, two, hit with a hammer to see how much it would take to break and three, how long would it take for battery powered angle grinder to cut the shackle.

[@Anonymouspock]

Tony Papantoniou Seconds, as always.

[@thawhitecletis4569]

Im fat

[@johnarizona3820]

[@lighteningforcex3103]

Can you feature your entire lock collection PLS :D and also you make just about every lock security look like a joke, AWESOME WORK!

[@AnanusBananus]

Typo in the title, kong = knog

[@rileyfenley522]

Janne Heino lol when i first saw that I was thinking Kong the dog toy maker.

[@dsloop3907]

No, the lock body has the word KNOG on it.

[@rileyfenley522]

D Sloop but originally it was Kong

[@dsloop3907]

the mind wants to read Kong.

[@AnanusBananus]

Kong makes more sense, reading knog sure feels like you red it wrong.

[@fracturedhearts3734]

So how much do those custom picks cost?

[@huxleypig69]

From $330.
