(910) World's Toughest Motorcycle Lock

[@NYHalfassprepper]

Bill, I am retired from FDNY (New York City Fire Departmemt) I was in a ladder company and we forced entry into some formidable locks during my career. For a padlock we use a tool called a duck bill lock breaker and a maul. if done right you can break most padlocks with a few blows. if we encounter a lot of locks or the American series 2000 (hockey puck locks) the preferred tool is a Partner K12 portable saw with an aluminum oxide disk. They cut thru padlocks and chain like butter. Our nemesis is the Fox style locks. We usually cut a hole in the door large enough to reach through and unlock from the inside. We will not be denied. we get in eventually one way or another.

[@Argantonis]

Why don't you just use a grinder to the hinges of a door. That's what firemen do here.

[@whatfor5]

Congratulations on your "most fucking obvious troll" award. Would you like a cookie, a medal, or a free ban from the OP?

[@clony101]

Depends on which way the door swings.

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

If they've gone to the trouble of installing a high quality lock I'd guess they also has installed protected hinges and/or security bolts in the back of the door. Embarrassingly often the door frame or the way it's installed ends up being the weak spot. That or the thieves ends up smashing a hole in the wall beside that nice security door...

[@Argantonis]

Blahorga Slisk You'd think that yes. Many people seem to think that a high security lock is all you need. In many cases you see a huge, expensive Abloy padlock in a cast iron hasp protecting a wood door.

As someone who works with Brinell Hardness Numbers every day, a number of 63 would actually be extremely soft.For example, mild steel usually comes in with a 145-179 BHN, roughly. Now a Rockwell harness of 63, on the other hand, would be extremely hard, and is likely the word you are looking for. :)

In the UK we see loads of Assa Twin Combi locks. As a warrant Locksmith I've never had that issue drilling them out. Jam the anti drill disc from moving. I use a Souber 5mm bit with a cordless drill it cuts right through it even hardened pins your RPM was way too high as well your melting the tip. You where using a grinding bit and not a 1mm cutting disc.. a cutting disc cuts through it like butter.

That is a bad ass lock and chain. Definitely a must have if you're parking your nice motorcycle in a high theft area and certainly not a bad idea in any other situation either. $350 is A LOT for a lock and chain but, considering the alternative.......pretty worth it.

[@tillmanxl6914]

Bill there is such a thing as a cut off wheel like forty thousandths maybe you should try that next time nice fine cut

[@bigj231]

Doesn't fix the noise and light problem though. Plus those like to come apart if you push on them as hard as Bill was pushing on the wheel in the video. The only feasible way to defeat this would be to destroy whatever the bike is chained to, take the whole kit, and work on it in your own time. Of course, if you have the resources to do that, there are much better things to do with them than steal 1 motorcycle.

[@robhep3]

+bigj231 I was thinking the same thing - just destroy whatever the chain is wrapped around. In all likelihood, it is far less resilient than the chain and lock...

[@rat4spd]

You don't have to push as hard, since it cuts better, and faster, though still loudly.

[@RobbieCaptMilkboneBaxter]

@ rob hanson unless it is the bike or valuable item ;-) oops lol

[@toth.42]

As far as I can see he's actually using a grinding wheel, which is not designed for cutting, but edge smoothing and - well, grinding. For cutting you use cut-off wheels, which are 1/10 of that thickness. Seems to work though.

I've used a cordless dremel with much smaller carbide bits to carefully mill the core out while avoiding the pins, this was in a real world scenario when the lock had been vandalised and blocked with epoxy. The lock had similar anti drill features. Interestingly I just wore hi viz and nobody passing by queried what I was doing.

Cutting disc is probably easier to snap though.

RusticSpoon Grinding wheels are for grinding (using the face of the wheel, that's why they're thick, if you use the edge they're prone to failure), cutting wheels are used for cutting (on the edge of the disc) and are thinner

Portable hho torch and double up some welding sheets to hide the light. No noise, no light, very fast depending on the power density of the batteries you use to make the gas. There isn't a lock or chai on the planet that would come close to slowing it down, it makes oxy acetylene torches look like candles. What's most fascinating about the gas is it's somehow self regulating in the temperature it puts out depending on the material it's going through. Very cool demonstration Bill no pun intended.

You are using a grinding blade on yr 6inch grinder also... not a cutting blade. Not sure why. Fair bit slower.

[@citylockapolytechnikeyllcc7936]

I laughed, I cried; I rolled on the floor! Stanley Padlocks seem to always be on closeout... but in only two sizes. Not the same product sold by Stanley-Best; this was a consumer line. Availability will be rather spotty, or on closeouts where 10,000 of them are all keyed alike. The standard blank is a long necked version of a 101C Schlage. The Assa cylinder, as well as Medeco3, Abloy ProTec2 and MultiLock MT group locks do improve any padlock hugely. But you need a model that is made to take a commercial door lock cylinder as does the odd Stanley one you demonstrated. Master and American have a number of shielded and standard extra heavy duty models as well.

I believe you'd cut a lot faster using a thinner disc. One thing I noticed cutting up some steel roofing in order to be able to transport it to recycle station without having to rent bigger car and trailer. It was faster with the cheaper thinner discs. Might wear discs a little faster as well but if you're up to cutting a chain I'm sure you don't care as one disc is more than enough to make two cuts in chain/shackle or one in the lock to get the hardened anti drill plate out.

[@Romuls753]

When grinding through a lock and chain combo why not go for the shackle instead of the chain? Or is that an even slower proposition because of the locking system being on both side of the shackle and not just the one?

It will go through the widest part of a mill bastard file in about 12 seconds. Yes, still a spark signature, but most people hesitate to call 9-1-1.

Yes, some cutting blades are only 1mm (0.040") thick - which is maybe only 15% of the thickness of the disc shown here. They go through metal massively faster than the thick disc used in this video - even on a lightweight & quieter battery powered grinder.

In order to be able to pic this cylinder, you must have access to an ASSA blank with that side bar combination. If you are lucky enough to have a blank, the blank must be cut down to just above the side bar cuts on the blade. You are turning the blank into your turning wrench. Happy picking at that point.

+bosnianbill 25 kw? People are making these with lipo batteries on a small scale. I'm sure you can find a different way to make it work woth out having to haul a car size generator with you. plus if your stealing motorcycles eventually it will pay its self off:)

[@EETechs]

Actually it is not that expensive to make a DIY induction heater. There are schematics available, and the parts are a few dollars from Digi-key. But an even more "practical approach" is to take a car battery, two 2 AWG copper cables with battery terminal ends, and 2 welding rod holders to make a melting device where you put the two welding rod holders close together on a lock shackle, which will turn it white hot and melt it away at that spot where the two rod holders on are connected at on the shackle.

great video Bill. looks like you had fun.

[@priestbeno]

Discourage him... honestly. I laughed so hard!

[@TYW-be8zo]

Appreciate your effort in making this awesome video, cheers man

[@expertoflizardcorrugation3967]

Hes even wearing underwear, what a truly momentus occasion

[@hobofoshitsho8999]

Ha! Bill's flexin' on em! Nice !

[@bernardomotard]

god, that is ALOT of money in drill bits.

[@bosnianbill]

Yep, even 2 years later I STILL feel the sting...

[@benjamindickey4511]

"find some way to deter them"😄😄😄

[@inthenameofjustice8811]

So basically, if you own a bike with this lock on it as long as you avoid parking it in desert like places with an electricity supply and a resident motorcycle thief with a death wish, you should be fine.

[@waynewinton]

they make cordless grinders and portable torches but besides that yes. See here tricountylocksmithservice.com/security-products/index.html

[@inthenameofjustice8811]

Wayne Winton Nice Wayne, thanks bud.

[@waynewinton]

Np. I test the products I use before choosing to recommend them. I find the best then make the recommendation

[@inthenameofjustice8811]

OhNoNotMyPenis yeah but be fair. We are talking about thieves who have some sanity.

[@garymcleanuk]

narhh. 2 seconds to open this lock with the correct tool

[@AdvancedUSA]

Real world this lock isn’t going to give it up. Need a vise, big grinders lot of time and a place where you can make a lot of noise and sparks. Certainly no place like that in any city setting. Nice to see a lock that WORKS.

[@Ucceah]

the "signature" wouldnt be quite as impressive with a thinner cutting wheel

[@expertoflizardcorrugation3967]

Either way you've officially thrown any and all subtlty to the wind

[@firefly4f4]

The implication that Bill doesn't wear underwear normally for his videos...

[@MarsMan1]

Love you Discouragement Tool! That will "Slow" them Down!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Really enjoying the channel! Thank you for all the great content...God bless

[@Officalwisdomwanderings]

I like your Smith with the stippled grip

[@adamnichols476]

looked like a kahr.

[@GM-ul1el]

Bill, enjoyed your video, good presentation with humor, informative.

[@n1t3h4wk4]

i'll cut the motorcycle. That will be easier. i saw a motorcycle stolen by cutting the rear wheel (mostly cast aluminium) thieves don't care the damage. You have to buy 10 meters of this chain and wrap the motorcycle in it ;)

[@bacela13]

Bill,the grinder disc you were using in the video is not for cutting but for grinding,cutting disc is almost 4 times thinner then that one and i am sure that it would cut a lot faster.

[@powerbound4162]

when you pull a gun so casually it makes it all the more discouraging

[@CheddarCheeseBandit]

Discourage LOL! Love it

[@hi.se_]

use a torch to melt the lock

[@bosnianbill]

I'm assuming you mean an oxy/acetylene torch? I'd need to carry two heavy/bulky tanks of gas, a regulator, hose and cutting tip. The light signature would be just as great as the grinder, but I suppose it would be quieter... Still, not really very practical. If I had to dump the tanks to escape, they could be traced back.

[@macbeth2354]

+bosnianbill at this rate you'd actually be safer unbolting the motorcycle part that's tied up and leaving it there (assuming you came with a trailer to steal it) or attacking the support the bike is chained to. By the way extreme cooling (liquid nitrogen/oxygen) on the chain and then a hydraulic jack to pry open a link has no effect right? Is that a myth?

[@clony101]

A plasma cutter is faster than the oxy/acetylene. Still creates light but as soon as you strike the arc you're done in 10 Seconds. Could make a special rig in a backpack with enough brains. Still would be atleast 40 pounds extra to carry though from the image in my head.

[@richardbell7678]

'canned air' is usually the non-ozone depleting 1,1,1,2-Tetraflouroethane, with a boiling point -15 degrees fahrenheit. As a canadian who grew up in Ottawa, the capital of Canada, I have seen many instances of even mild steel showing no tendency for brittleness. Only plastic autobody panels shatter at that temperature, every other minor collision would just cause a dent. The liquid nitrogen boiling off while in contact with the lock will chill it to brittleness, but, if you intend to shatter the lock's case, you will have to immerse the whole lock. Chilling a two pound lock to minus forty should only require evaporating 180 milliliters of liquid nitrogen IF the container holding the liquid nitrogen and lock prevents the transfer of heat from the outside to the inside. This means that you need a flask large enough to immerse the lock with an opening the lock and the two ends of the chain will fit through. As the temperature differential and lack of pressurization will encourage an insulating film of gaseous nitrogen between the liquid nitrogen and the lock body that will last until the lock really starts to get cold, which will slow down the energy transfer, it will take longer then you expect for the lock to get really cold.

[@bosnianbill]

THANK YOU for injecting some common sense into the old (and stale) "use a can of air to freeze and shatter the lock". It seems that everyone with NO experience or knowledge of chemistry or physics is absolutely SURE that will work, even tho they've never tried it or seen it done. It's been tried, several times on YT, each time failing miserably - yet the urban legend survives...

[@esqueue]

For my line of work, we use lots of cutting equipment. There is a slightly quicker and easier way than a 10" grinder with a 1/4" grinding disk. Either a 4.5 inch or 6 inch grinder with an actually cutting wheel will be quicker, and lighter. The cutting wheels are 1/16th of an inch and cut very fast. The 4.5 inch grinders can be gotten battery powered which is plenty enough for the cutting wheels to cut through almost anything. They are just as lout and will produce almost as much sparks.

[@SgtKOnyx]

esqueue I was thinking as much, a thinner wheel, but it'd still be just as noticable. Grinding open a lock will draw unrelated people into the situation
