(1691) Mindy Open in 3 Seconds!

Almost EVERYTHING went wrong in video 1691. I did manage to get the Mindy open in about 3 seconds, but only AFTER discovering the keys didn't work. Fortunately, I've had several of these Pagoda locks over the years and I had a pretty good defeat technique in my bag of tricks.

I didn't know Mindy's back door was so easy to get into!

[@razinhailsharp]

Apparently, Mindy is LockpickingLawyer's ex girlfriend. He did a video about her back on April 1st.

[@Kromaatikse]

And there wasn't even any brown residue to clean off this time!

[@arifhossain9751]

I guess not being openable by its own key is a security feature?

[@thfreakinacage]

Marketing team be like "unpickable? Ours is un-unlockable!"

[@casperswift]

Uhh I felt so bad when it got to that part what a terrible lock lol

[@larrybe2900]

@@casperswift And think it might not be the only one if the keys are out of sequence with the lock during production.

It must be the "Anti theft" part of the lock advertised on the front.

I can’t imagine buying a commercially packaged lock and having the key not work!

[@jukka-pekkatuominen4540]

For me I wouldn't even though to not test the key to the lock before the packaging. Perhaps one of the reason I don't make locks.

[@OcRefrig]

ikr. Glad he had a tiny hammer around. 😂

[@u.v.s.5583]

But that's Italy! Quite normal!

[@VanquisherUSMC]

I had that happen once a number of years ago. It was a Master Lock LMAO!!!

[@darthkarl99]

Statistically speaking every lock manufacturer will have this happen from time to time. Because it's somthing that can happen, somehow some way sooner or later it will happen. It's undoubtedly incredibly rare to the point of almost never being encountered, but statistics says it must happen from time to time.

[@3DMegadoodoo]

It says "dust automatic" not "key automatic". You didn't even try opening it with dust!

[@moosemaimer]

A dust activated lock? Ian & Karl need to see this.

[@FNEIN]

Its about to collect a bunch, I'm sure of it.

[@weswheel4834]

You don't need to add dust, it generates its own.

[@cH3rtzb3rg]

Did you try hitting the shackle using the keys?

[@IdleLancer]

"Alohomora!"

[@ccadama]

@Bosnianbill. I just love your style and mannerisms. They are just as entertaining as your lock opening techniques. Hope you and your family stay well and safe.

[@UncleKennysPlace]

I used to sell machine tools. 0.1 mm would be _worn out._ And an alternate _back door_ method was also described on 01 April on LPL's channel.

[@hellfire66683]

Lmao his April 1st video was awesome.

[@pawpatrolnews]

?? It was just him picking a regular house lock, not a special lock...

[@revenevan11]

Gotta say, something about their tolerances might explain why the keys didn't work!

[@Kromaatikse]

Someone once pointed out to me that the thickness of a modern airliner's fuselage skin is typically less than the *tolerance* of the lightening holes in a WW2 aircraft's airframe.

[@caseydarrah]

@@Kromaatikse Tour the Air and Space Museum sometime, and go with a machinist's mindset. Sloppy welds, screw cuts that are wonky, all sorts of weirdness, but it's how they needed to work to get a new plane in the air every 5 minutes (which they did starting in 1942).

[@michaelking3327]

come on guys, it was right on the front of the package, just leave off the z. "world class con"

[@Ostsol]

That's how I originally read it. 🤣

[@Nicks-Picks]

Well Bill, just when I thought I'd see almost everything... I wasn't expecting that. You're a credit to your craft good sir. Really enjoy what you do, many thanks

[@omgitsjoetime]

I saw these on amazon and was wondering about them! I assumed they were cheap Chinese bs and had easy bypass but it’s absolutely hilarious that they sent wrong keys lol I’ve seen them all over amazon! So glad to see this video

[@targetedinnc9595]

These are great locks. That guy is full of it. I have 3 of the mindy locks just like in the video. I got locked out by mistake and had to brake the shackle. You’re not getting these locks open easy. Trick of the camera

[@casperswift]

Cool, that's the lock I sent you, thanks for doing a video on it.. sorry there's no note I hope you got the chocolate too..

[@bosnianbill]

Are you talking about the big bag of Rollos? Yep, got it & the kids ate it all in one sitting!😋 The sugar high lasted for 3 days.

[@casperswift]

@@bosnianbill yup sorry they shipped separately but I'm glad they got to you ok...

Knowledge is a wonderful thing! Knowing that you can hit it with a hammer to open it. And where to hit it. Very interesting and educational video. Thank you.

[@kewltune4683]

Wow! I can’t believe how easy that was! Now I need to add a hammer to my kit.

[@CSIClough]

When it's a lot harder to use the key that came with the lock ...

[@other212]

Lol seriously. He makes picking look easier than keys often, but I know that's just because its him. But hell, anyone can hit a lock with a hammer. lol

[@AlbertLebel]

I guess that's why they don't care what keys they toss in, you don't need them anyways..

[@artiem5262]

Is this a contest with LPL, who can open what in the shortest time and without resorting to anything most would consider "picking?" THANK YOU for continuing to teach us! (and many thanks to LPL as well!)

[@macnutz4206]

Even with the right key, I suspect the hammer is faster.

[@zlocksca]

There is also possibly another slightly destructive way in through the bottom

[@grumpygus81]

Wow, that was a lackluster performance from Mindy on this one. Just goes to show that no matter how intimidating your opponent may be, a well placed blow from a hammer can really save you from working up a sweat 😉👍

It happens. If you make a million+ parts, you are bound to make a mistake with one.

[@NeedaNewAlias]

@@someoneme7057 Sure, and that's exactly the lock that lands at Bosnian Bill? What do they pay you that you defend them?

[@MoonLiteNite]

@@NeedaNewAlias I don't think you need to be paid to do basic math.... when you are dealing that amount of product, you will have some defects get by quality control and quality inspection.

[@welchianachi7707]

Once one of my neighbour has s magnetic padlock on his cellar door and just wiggling/ramming shackle against bar for which it was attached the padlock finally open up. So fast closing without key is not a very good idea cause of that issue.

[@benjamindickey4511]

Does this work on any spring loaded locking pawl?

[@PocketWomen]

A good demonstration on how to get an open when the key doesn't work on these locks. BlackDolphin90 just did a few video's on dissembling this lock and getting it back together, very clever. cheers

[@thelockpickinglebowski633]

Nice work striking Mindy repeatedly on her shoulder.

They claim it is made in Italy. Actually, those smuggled in from Vulcan after the Enterprise returned after the appropriate episodes had been filmed.

[@roysammons2445]

Tap it with the hammer and BINGO! You have an open. Still would have liked to see if it opens by picking it. I didn't quite get how it is tensioned, is it with the sticky out lugs on the key or do they push the rings down?

Too funny. It did make me a little nervous you holding the lock while wacking it with a hammer though.

Bill Put it into The Naughty Bin for Lock Picking Lawyer , Tell Him You Had Trouble in Opening it in Under Two Seconds.

[@proberts34]

I declare shenanigans! The manufacturer clearly states that "It is in vain to open by any special instruments." I consider a nylon-faced hammer to be pretty special, since I've never owned one. Although. . .maybe the manufacturer considers a nylon-faced hammer common and forgot to guard against it. ;)

[@dontatmebaron]

Wow, I've never seen such a big T-shaped key to be used in a relatively small padlock

[@RustyorBroken]

Sights are off on that hammer.

[@RWBHere]

Fun tip: The hammer is the recommended way to open these locks. You intentionally leave the key with the lock so that a crook wastes their time in trying to use the key. 😉

[@Handleyman]

Isn’t that what the LPL does too? Enter via the back door! 😂

[@OcRefrig]

What a piece of 💩 Lock ! 😂 Almost 🤣. unbelievable. Great video !

The "Straight to the back door" school of thought is also subscribed to by an eminent colleague of yours.

Much cheapness...spent all their time prettifying the casing, and forgot to make a workable padlock. Would make a nice ornament

[@dinobergant8286]

Bill are you acualy from Bosnia?

[@zac08]

The words around the keyhole is zi dan suo xin (Chinese words which roughly translates to bullet core). I kinda suspect this is a China made product which just slaps a Italy Pat label on to it to make it look cooler or nicer.

[@MikeF1189]

Audio, Perfect.

[@Falcrist]

CLICKBAIT VIDEO TITLE!!!! (it took less than one second to open)

[@Polite_Cat]

The lock showed "ON" on the right side.. you kept trying to insert the key vertically.. maybe you could have inserted it horizontally? Especially if the warding near the front maybe could move a little? It doesn't look like you ever tried inserting a key horizontally, but it seems like it does go that way because of the markings on it - it looks like you should turn it 90 degrees clockwise to the "OFF" position.

[@John-lx8iu]

Bill sure likes the back door...

[@23Skadoosh]

In my experience, anything with the name Mindy is open in 3 seconds. 😉

[@skygh]

Bill doesn't even need a beat to rap. We were doing this in the sixty well ahead of the genre and many older padlocks have this weakness. I wonder if these are the right keys but the lock is defective. No workie in any case.

[@Norsemann]

Dust hammer?

[@tom23rd]

"give it a shot" I 👀 you bill XD

[@WCGwkf]

So that's why why I used a padlock as a chain link (after it broke) to hold up a steel plate shooting target it unlocked after every single rifle shot hit the plate... not exactly bullet proof, the bullet doesnt need to hit it!

[@artistjoh]

Is Mindy Italian for Master Lock?

[@johncage3025]

That was cool

[@macnutz4206]

I just saw a vid by blackdolphin 90. It looks like this lock has problems with keys. He had to use a pair of pliers to force the key to open it.

[@William_Borgeson]

Well Bill, I guess you have a new paper weight for your desk, just keep the hammer right next to it and use it to get frustrations out.

[@pabeader1941]

My soda just went out my nose!! Talk about funny!!!

[@georgesulea]

That is amazing....

[@cbremer83]

Why don't all locks use ball bearings? I would think the manufacturing costs are similar enough for it to not matter.

[@bmjames]

Here's a guess: ball bearing mechanisms require tight tolerances to avoid jamming or being too loose, so the lock body needs to be machined with high precision tools. Springs forgive poorer tolerances by expanding or contracting as required, so cheaper tools and processes can be used.

[@pawpatrolnews]

Such a shame, those locks are so cool looking!

[@sebastianofacchin1716]

I love the fact that it's written "Italy" on it when it's clearly Chinese

Knock knock! Whos there? Opened lock! :D

[@RWBHere]

A tolerance of 0.1 mm is really wide. Even 40 years ago, 0.1 micron (0.0001 mm) was normal for me, and some people today work to tolerances of around 1 nanometre (0.001 micron).

The more intimidating and fancier the lock, the worse it is.
