As per usual, you have made yet another great video! Unfortunately, no pick set or practice lock was gifted to me for Christmas, but as my birthday is today, the mail has yet to come, so I'm not sure if I'll be getting some or not, but considering not many know that I'm into locksport, I doubt it. I would be thrilled if you happen to have a practice lock and a decent pick set(hopefully with some type of Ratyolk pick and tok wrenches) that you would consider selling to me, that would be an awesome birthday gift! I'd pay for shipping as well if you'd consider it. Thanks for your great work and I hope you have an awesome 2020!

[@LordPadriac]

To be fair I only bother locking my house locks now because they prevent the disoriented methheads up the street from getting in and to make sure for that extra ten years if someone does break in. I've seen the so-called best of the best locks picked in less than ten seconds. I have no faith in any lock anymore. It's the sight of a lock that keeps most people out and to that end I don't see the point in shelling out for anything other than the cheap locks. They all seem to provide the same protection.

[@Thicbladi]

Also bolt cutters also work quite well to get through them

[@Ryanzuggyzug]

I remember opening a master lock with a shim i made in less than ten minutes (opened hundreds of locks with the same one) with the metal end of a pencil, took less than 3 seconds to open.

[@bitfinesse]

Should also be noted that when single-pin picking, one pin will bind at a time because when these cores were manufactured, the holes that house the pin stacks aren’t in a perfectly-straight line. They’re slightly misaligned, making one pin to be the first to bind. Then the next pin will bind and so forth. More tension is helpful because it provides better feedback to a skilled picker. A very stiff tension tool is also helpful to provide the picker with maximum feedback. Think of a shock absorber on a car. The springiness dampens feedback. You want the opposite of feedback dampening when picking single pins. Slow down. Pay attention to what you feel and hear. Happy picking🤗

[@SC-rb2jr]

I was thinking there must be some play in the mechanism so that the first pin stays lined up after you have picked it and you move onto your next pin. Am I right in thinking that pins need to feel the pressure from the tension tool before they will stay in position after being lined up (picked).

[@rufusherman412]

Thank you

[@blackfowl75]

@@SC-rb2jrKinda late but if I understood correctly, you’re right. This is what makes the order in which pins click when you pick them (so you won’t necessarily be able to make the first pin click first every time).

Early on I got that exact set shown at the start of the video. It's from Banggood, is currently listed at US$10.59. They are well made (for the price of course) and have held up well.

[@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece]

Not to forget: if a lock is bad enough, master locks for example: everything is a raking tool! Because there is no point in doing anything also rake 2-15 seconds and it's open. Amazon reviews for those are a joke. People with no clue praise the companies marketing. Pickers do everything from rating 1 star for security to rating 5 stars sarcastically.

I've had a history of being locked out of my own home and recently it happened again. This is how i stumbled on to this video. I didn't want my wife and I locked out of our home with our pets inside. It was crazy how much lock smith was charging to come out to help us get into our home. Figured i would look more into lockpicking and after this, maybe get good at it and make a side business out of it (and not charge people 400+dollars either). Thank you for this, maybe I'll get as good at lockpicking as the fictional master of unlock (Jill Valentine for Resident Evil fans out there). Seems kind of fun hobby to pick up. I got a question though; how do you know when a lockpick will break? Is there any kind of damage to the lock and is it possible to get it out? I ask this because one day i will need to unlock my house if i forget the keys again.

[@garrett3117]

I'd like to know if you ever followed up lol & have you recouped your losses if so?

[@k5sss]

Lock Noob has an entire video on why you shouldn’t pick some locks, including the ones in use on your own home. Picks eventually fail due to metal fatigue, and it tends to be sudden. You can try getting the tip out with an extractor, but if it doesn’t cooperate, you may end up having to call a locksmith or drill out the core. See above.

[@chrisu5550]

I love to see the situation where you leave your house without your keys, but remeber to take your lockpicks with you "in case you get locked out". Just a thought, put a spare key in your lockpick set and save yourself hours of misery 😂😂😂

[@ZeginMakesMusic]

Amazing video. One note: The tension tool should almost always be placed inside of the top of the keyway, not the bottom. It'll give you more room to work. Also the city rake tool works better when rocked up and down, instead of back and forth.

[@Toodleypops]

OH good tip, thank you. I watch a lot of LPL and always wondered why the "top of the keyway tension" was so prevalent as it seems to me like that'd get in the way more than the bottom.

Used them for my car, any locks around the house or at work (for things I was suppose to have access to), and the house itself (I didn’t carry my house keys). However, they were made from hacksaw blades and my father eventually told me to cut out using them on the door locks as they were hard enough they were starting to wear the pins.

the thumbnail is like any other thumbnail, but the way he explained how to lockpick and all the tools just is amazing

[@krathjen1]

Very informative! I actually have that lock pick kit off of Amazon and had no clue what most of it was so I got very good at picking one cylinder at a time. I didn’t know it could be that easy with the others. Lol

[@ArtificialSoldier1]

Amazing tutorial, thank you! Unfortunately, buying lockpick sets is a criminal offence in my country (even for a hobby), but I had a lot of fun watching you work these tools nonetheless. At least I have some theoretical knowledge now :)

[@ilmpyt]

Where do you live? These tools can be made with paper clips and hairpins.

[@thecosmicfinch8146]

in the uk its completely legal to own a set, but like a knife it us completely illegal to take outside

[@ThunderboltWisdom]

Yeah, where do you live?

[@JP-iz9cz]

@@thecosmicfinch8146 you can't kill someone with a lock pick set and neither is there a British epidemic of young people killing each other with lock pick sets..

[@thecosmicfinch8146]

@@JP-iz9cz i may have worded that awkwardly, you can own a knife but cannot posses it in public without reason, same with lock picks, you can own them but without proper reasoning you will be prosecuted for possession of a lock pick, yes you cant kill people with a lock pick but it prevents certain crimes, same as why you cannot carry a knife over 6 inch in public without reason

[@medbal2989]

Absolutely love your video. I always wondered and many times have screwed myself loosing the key to a lock. Thank the British for some of the best videos I've seen on KZbin.

[@BrendanMcGinley]

I have this exact set and just picked my first ever lock watching this. Thank you for the guidance!

[@shaquilleoatmeal926]

What is the lockpick set called i keep getting locked out of my house :(

[@danfli3669]

You did aa great job reading my mind. I was looking for a video that explained the picks and their use

[@LockNoob]

Awesome 👏

[@Andy-lm2zp]

Very comprehensive thanks, I did a locksmith course a few years back and needed a refresher !

[@LockNoob]

Glad it was helpful!

[@c_b5060]

This is the best instruction I've seen! And your camera is in focus (unlike other videos). You also provide lots of quailty links to other resources. Subscribed!

[@presleyjohnson6598]

I have this exact kit, and this video was a terrific help for introduction. Picked my first lock using this guide!

[@mattsmedley.onehandedgamin9029]

Thank you, I happened to order myself this set last week. It's on that slow boat from China now. Useful stuff 👍

[@LockNoob]

That would be ironic lol

[@jasonmayer8003]

I was gonna try my bedroom door lock good thing i went and bought a cheap lock then watched this video. Dont have the see thru lock, and didn't get the lock open before the video ended. Good vid

[@scottjourdan1259]

But you did get it open, right? Practice makes perfect

[@plaetorius]

Absolute legend. Thanks, you made me pick my first lock :)

[@grahamparry7013]

Bought myself a very similar kit this week, couldn’t make sense of the little instruction book. Few minutes of watching this video and I was opening it with ease. Brilliant video !

[@Elliot44]

Great video, unlocked a bike lock that we had padlocked for over a year in garage since loosing the key. bolt cutters did not work. So this was great. Took 15 mins to get it off and this video + practice lock helped a lot! :D

[@navaho5430]

I just got this kit and 4 padlocks and my front door pick in half an hour, i must be a natural............. theft nooooo. cheers from OZ.

[@LockNoob]

Be careful not to pick locks in use, you wouldn’t want to damage them or break a pick in them

[@navaho5430]

@@LockNoob Yep being a mechanic i have fixed and broken a fare few things cheers.

[@newflesh666]

thank you so much for this video, my first set of lockpicks came with the wafer lock tension tool and I've had no idea what it was for years

[@CR7Prod7]

Just picked my first lock with 2 paper clips, took me awhile but it feels awsome when you finally get it!

[@JVF5793]

This video is great! I have my first picks coming soon and am excited to get started. It looks like a lot of fun.

[@LockNoob]

Thanks, it is!

[@TheZippyMark]

This is a really excellent video. I just bought a kit on a whim and the instructions make so little sense as they're obviously translated 'You need practice for many times' and '...you need to eject the lock tool up slowly till a little voice is heard', but this video helped get the principals across really well. Also it's amazed me how easy it actually is to do this, I opened the practice padlock before I read any instructions, within about a minute, and assumed they'd just made it very easy. Immediately tried on a proper padlock and opened that within a minute too. Now I'm hooked.

[@LockNoob]

Thanks 😊

[@Carlos-ux7gv]

That's why I usually don't trust padlocks that one can access from outside anymore.

[@blossomingpoot044]

This video was so helpful! Thank you for taking the time and effort to go into detail! 😄

[@LockNoob]

Thanks 😊

[@iyeetsecurity922]

I got that same set. I used sand paper to widdle down one of the key extractors to make a probe. And that practice lock is ridiculously easy to open. I popped it open right away with _every_ pick including the key extractors and the end of a tension wrench.

[@Chirael]

Great introduction! I have an acquaintance who expressed an interest in picking, the last time I saw her; next time I see her I'll recommend your video as a starting point. Thanks for making & posting it! 😊

[@briansanders3750]

Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to teach us newbies I recently lost ALL my tool box keys and the boxes are locked in storage so I bought a kit to learn to pick these “ wafer” locks and you helped me understand how they work Wether or not I can pick these locks might be a different story but I have time and patience and determination

[@LockNoob]

Thanks 🙏

[@briansanders3750]

@@LockNoob FYI I spent about a total of 2 hrs including your tutoring and mastered the 3 practice locks that were included in the set. As you stated they’re considered easy. I then practiced on the same actual locks that I need to pick. I got that one open so now I just need some time to go to storage and pick all those tool box locks. Again thank you

[@10KGneck]

@@briansanders3750 do these work on master locks as well?

[@briansanders3750]

@@10KGneck I honestly haven’t tried them on master locks. Probably take a little more practice but our resident pro makes EVERYTHING look easy. I’d say yes. If you already have an extra master lock then practice on that 1

Had a throwaway TSA007 lock (if you're new, & struggling grab one) & always been interested in the hobby, but never had a kit & would give up. Within the time of watching 101 I'd picked it enough times I stopped counting. Time for something more difficult. And a kit. Wish I had these resources when I was younger, thanks for your videos.

[@djjammindave]

I got the same kit today. I just picked my front door knob (ha ha ha ha) thanks to your first example. Thank you.

[@stuartlloyd2000]

Well, I've graduated from watching LPL for months and just found your feed. Some great videos and you've inspired me to give it a go. I'll use your recommendations for starter pick sets. I thought you might have a recommendation for a training lock but I'll go off and research. Thanks again.
