[961] Then & Now: Hungarian Elzett Padlocks Made 60 Years Apart

[@sanskarshrestha6904]

It took 59 seconds for LPL to pick this new lock. That's a pretty good lock.

[@imperialphoenix1229]

That's 54 more than most

[@vbregier]

Yes, if LPL needs 59 seconds to pick this lock, it means you’re quite safe from common thieves…

It also cost a lot more. It probably cost a lot more than the new one from the same manufacturer, even, after taking inflation into account.

[@Chewbacca442]

@@JasperJanssen Actually Elzett locks are quite affordable. You can pick a Tutius up for ~6-16$ depending on variant and store. It's a popular brand in Hungary for a reason.

As a Hungarian fan of you, i clicked even faster than usually. Thank you Sir, and i'm glad our lock wasn't just a 2 seconds pick 😎

[@PicoriPi]

György Mohl you can shim them though. A shame.

[@slaki1706]

@@PicoriPi I have two pieces of the older version (both maybe 20 years old), I do not think they can be shimmed. One of them I found with open shackle but the locking mechanism was locked. I do not have the keys and I was not able to close the shackle until I learned how to pick the lock open. It took me several hours in many attempts. Finally, after watching this video I was able to feel the counter rotations and now I can open both of my TUTIUS padlocks every time within 30 seconds. They are excellent practice locks. :)

Good to see these locks on your channel :D I live in Hungary, Sopron city where these locks are made. If you were come to visit us then you would see that every home has an Elzett lock installed. A bit funny because I watch every one of your videos and its intersting to see how many and different lock are out there :D

[@andrewchapman2039]

Ever since I watched a video explaining how security pins work, I've been appreciating this channel so much more!

[@tarehjernetarehjerne4082]

Security pins dont matter anymore. Sidebars, floating sleeves, countermilling and extreme warding is whats difficult.

[@alvarobravok]

Interesting how LPL is expanding interest. I don’t know if LPL receive requests, but every time I see his videos I have a different interpretation of my own security. It maybe interesting to have a LPL security scale, knowing that seems all locks can be picked maybe is very useful to have a ranking based on skill set to pick. 0 for absolute newbie and 10 for LPL+BosniaBill!

[@MillionFoul]

This has been a suggestion for a long time, and the reason LPL doesn't do it is because he's constantly improving at the craft. If he rates a lock as say, a five today, in a year, that will no longer be accurate, and that five would be a different difficulty level than a lock from yesteryear rated at a five.

[@alvarobravok]

MillionFoul makes sense.

[@Jackie2Cokes]

Fascinating...wow, I need to learn more

[@davidissel7980]

LockPickingLawyer, watching your videos inspired me to buy a cheap lock picking set (with transparent lock) from Amazon. I'd never picked a lock before, but was able to pick the transparent lock in about one minute. Next, I tried my front door (an old Kwikset deadbolt)... I managed to pick it in about five minutes! Not bad, for someone with absolutely no skills. Then, I tried an old Master lock No. Five... so far, it has alluded me. But, I'll keep at it. So, thanks for introducing me to a fun new hobby. EDIT: I switched to a rake and that No. Five opened right up in about 5 seconds!

[@csabahegedus6375]

I'm Hungarian and I'm proud now

[@T3RR4212]

hey @LockPickingLawyer unrelated to this specific video, but I picked my first lock today. our office lady at work went on holiday and left a stash of pens locked in her desk draw. I've watched hundreds of your videos and like to think I have an adequate understanding of how they work. I was able to quickly figure out that it was a wafer lock, and likely a cheap one. I got a paperclip half unbent it so it still had the small inner loop, pushed it into the lock and turned. it popped open first time. I don't think I would have ever attempted that if your channel didn't teach me how locks worked, or that most locks are poor quality and can be easily picked with rudimentary tools. thanks to you the techs at work have pens for the next few weeks :)

[@jollyrogerhobbies2386]

You need to have a t-shirt Merch line! You can have sayings printed on them like, : "five is binding", "nice click out of 1", "Dropped into false set", "I will rake your locks". "Mastersux", "Here we have a lock and its opened, Thats all I have for you today" and many many others!

[@Ralesk]

One thing I appreciate on these now that I've spent the last couple years following Bosnian Bill and LPL is that since the locking lug is directly attached to the end of the core (with no spring action and whatnot) these locks, despite being cheap and old and not even high quality, are non-shimmable. That they have security pins, even the older ones, is pretty cool, didn't know that. One that I have I managed to seize up pretty bad while taking apart, so I only saw the last standard pin, they seem to use small pins (Master size maybe or something similar anyway)
