After watching a lot of LPL, a lot of Hollywood lockpicking scene became a lot more realistic than I thought, judging from the number of locks that LPL reviewed that can be raked open in 5 seconds.

[@hvachacker586]

Hollywood only uses Master locks.

[@MidnightSt]

Yeah, funny thing that the most unrealistic part of most movie lockpicking scenes is doing it with a paperclip. Not sure about USA, but in my country, paperclips are too thick for that, so when most people inevitably try to pick a lock, they conclude it's difficult and requires huge amounts of skill. While in reality, the only thing they were doing wrong is using the paperclip instead of some tool that's thin enough.

Linda Hamilton did actually learn to pick locks for the harness and the door. So much so that the UK cut part of the lockpicking scene.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

And in a criminal asylum as she was in, yes having a keyed lock on the inside is totally realistic.

[@Durwood71]

Not only did Hamilton learn to pick locks, but she apparently did it for real on camera when filming those scenes.

[@Tjrissi96]

The UK is just ridiculous.

[@drakedbz]

Most people laugh at movie lockpicking scenes, thinking they're unrealistic for being too quick. Turns out (based on watching a lot of LPL), they're actually unrealistic for taking too long 😂

[@maxz69]

If they take long then the picker just isn't a pro

[@superdupergrover9857]

I have a theory. To defeat LPL, you simply have a mechanical arrangement so that you have to unlock hundreds of Masterlock #3's to get the door open. Tedious but not difficult you think? HAH!! After opening hundreds of #3's LPL develops carpel tunnel syndrome from the repetitive motion of mindlessly opening so many identical locks. LPL not only defeated now, but defeated PERMANENTLY.

[@shura0107]

LPL has stated he does have repetitive strain injury/carpal tunnel in his hands from picking, which is why he came up with the bent turning tool, so it's much easier on his hands. So while RSI slowed him down for a little bit, he still hasn't evolved into his final form.

[@tsumikiayato1560]

Foolish, that would only make him stronger than ever before

[@tcpratt1660]

Actually, wrapping the lock in duct tape with red Sharpie security marker slows him down more than multiple Master Lock no. 3's...and he has shims, portable hydraulic cutters, and a Ramset, mind!

[@inkognito3145]

I think he’s just gonna be more angry when he eventually comes truh

[@aeon5566]

Defeating the LPL is not difficult. As long as there's no conventional lock on the outside and the entire housing and door is made of high quality steel there's no way to open it from the outside with the tools he has at his disposal. On top of that. In one of his videos he also showcases two locks from Stuff Made Here where he can only open a conventional custom made lock by prying behind the lock casing. If you seal that with welding for instance and actually have the door positioned as an outside door would be positioned I'm sure he wouldn't be able to pick it unless maybe he makes a specific tool for it. But then it ends up being guesswork. In the end any conventional lock can be picked as far as I understand it.

[@Iconat20]

Imagine having a celebrity guest on your show specifically for his reactions and then talking over him or getting the first word in all the time.

[@Akira-kd6us]

Yup, and also say in front of an expert lockpicker that wiggling a lockpick like the woman in the movie wouldn't work and also rating stuff 0/10 while having no knowledge on the topic in FRONT of the expert once again. Very professional!

[@jhtsurvival]

Right. What a joke

[@pengin9]

LPL is so restrained they weren't going to get any reactions. So they made their own.

[@TheLifeLaVita]

so you watched a video, then came to this one but commentated about the other one? Didn't you notice you're on a different video?

[@IceMetalPunk]

It's amazing how often TV and movies think that picking a lock somehow opens it without ever turning it...

Always amazed at hosts inviting an expert to the show only to constantly interrupting him. Let the professional explain things. Especially lpl who is one of the best narrators in youtube.

[@greatarchitect]

They let him explain almost everything tf are you talking about

[@jolttsp]

I'm a little further in and it's kind of unwatchable the way the male host keeps jumping in with his own thing.. it's like host reviews lock picking in movies and asks LPL to agree.. this is so not like other experts explain videos. It's kinda useless. I'm bailing at the midpoint.

[@TheKingmanthe1]

Let LPL talk… the host is reacting first to everything

[@Jacc13]

Exactly my thought. The hosts who acknowledge they aren't experts are the ones doing all the talking.

[@MrNerdHair]

For the White Collar one: he gives up after one bump attempt, but not because it didn't work. He starts to bump it because he's familiar with the model, presumably because he knows it has no security pins, but stops after Mozzie tells him he souped it up. Presumably that would include at least some security pins, which would render bump attacks impractical.

[@adamg1058]

"You're asking me if I want to build a fire?" Oh, those will be legendary videos!

[@ApfelJohannisbeere]

[@katieligatur9743]

In Europe, esp. Germany, entrance doors have a handle on the inside, but on the outside is a fixed knob. To open the snapper, you insert the key and turn 45 deg, ie you use the key as a handle. Thats what you see in Das Leben Der Anderen.

[@TheSorrowedMan]

Yup. If the core was bad, they might have actually opened the door in the shot, and probably just replaced the audio in post and foleyd it.

[@LoveShaysloco]

terminator sara connor she legit learned how to pick locks just for that movie. at lest thats what she said from the directors cuts of the movie

[@cr10001]

I believe her. It's not that difficult on some locks. But the technique is the same whether it's an easy lock or a difficult lock, so knowing the motions to go through would be enough for movie purposes.

[@LoveShaysloco]

@@cr10001 but ether way actors who would do that in real for there role I prefer vs ones who would do stuff that wouldn't work. Like the termite there a way that will open the lock but it looks more like a hockey puck and puts all the umph of the reactions into the lock

[@notfeedynotlazy]

For those of us who remember McGiver opening locks with a simple twist of one of the blades of his SAK, that was deliberately done wrong as not to show real lockpicking techniques on screen. Maybe some of those films (that show realistic concepts but bad execution) are simply following on that tradition...

Has LPL ever reacted to the lockpicking in the Bourne series? I have no idea what was supposed to be happening, but it looked like Bourne (Matt Damon) has a single, screw-driver looking device that he just pushes into any lock and after about a second it turns. I'd love to hear LPL's thoughts on that.

YOU COLLABED WITH THE LOCK PICKING LAWYER!!!

[@UKCougar]

The Eurocylinder 'pick', they also opened it in the wrong direction. Even with a key there it should be clockwise to unlock.

[@cy-one]

That depends on the rest of the mechanism within the door. I've had clockwise locking and clockwise unlocking doors so far, basically depends on where the door is hinged (left or right). The rotation of the lock is usually made as such that you unlock the door by rotating the key away from the door frame - if that makes sense as an explanation :D

For pyroplastic, thermite or incendiary things you should ask to cody's lab, nile red, explosions and fire all youtube channels that work with a lot of chemistry. There are many of them that I don't even remember the channels by name, or aren't using always chemistry(at the end breaking bad concept is using chemistry as much as possible into the story without annoying spectators) on theyr channels, but often I see theyr awesome work and sometimes create experiments that could melt that electronic kind of locks; as per if does the job opening the door, I don't really know.

[@rcschmidt668]

Love seeing the LPL comment on movie locks. Regarding the last lock from House, I remember having a desk lock that rotated 360 degrees when locking and unlocking. Because of this, the “didn’t turn” comment from the single end image could be premature.

[@LeSarthois]

Also, we don't see in the video shot clearly, but several desks I've seen in this style have a lock that is more like a door knob : you need to keep the key turned and pull the drawer. So if the drawer in the final scene is pulled open, then the key hole would be vertical again. Now I'm not sure this is the right type of lock for that, but the scene doesn't seen odd to me for that reason.

[@notgonnahappen7899]

If you put handcuffs on correctly, the keyhole will face up, away from the hands, to prevent any self picking.

[@zyrain]

Seems like the thermite could have worked if the lock were an electromagnetic lock.

[@malcolmdarke5299]

[@sh4dowchas3r]

The Lives of Others ( Das leben der anderen) was set in East Germany and that pretty much all you need to know. Who needs to pick a lock to get in to a block the all when there's informers everywhere? Also they probably have the key anyway - master key or keyed alike.

[@WlatPziupp]

Some of the locks they mass produced for housing like this also had some faults that weren't fixed or were fixed after a ton of them were made and in use. If they were made to accept a master key, which seems likely for an apartment complex like this, it's even easier to get in

[@marshallc6215]

You could *maybe* make that breaking bad one work. You'd need a crucible to attach to the door such that as the thermite lights, it flows down the crucible and into the door, where you hope enough will sit on the bolt to melt it. Getting the thermite in the door seems easy. Controlling it after that, less so
