same, and kinda interesting because "binding" in this case thus is a good thing (from the lock-pickers perspective), where as normally it is a word that give negative wibes

Lock picking in Splinter Cell Is awesome, should try that

[@mikkelnpetersen]

I loved that system, because I knew it was the most realistic.

[@fluxuous6907]

@Badr Ahmed whaddya mean inserting the flat end of the Bobby pin into the lock does absolutely nothing???

[@swaguilar_]

In this situation, I usually rotate R3 until the controller vibrates to let me know I got one of the binds. I'm, of course, talking about Splinter Cell though...

[@carbonclaw7280]

Ahh the Splinter Cell reference..i was thinking about this too. The training mission on the first game when you get to the "you can pick a door if it's locked" section lol

[@-cobalt3223]

[@JTD19881369]

Didn't Splinter Cell show you the pins?... im vaguely remembering a game where the lock picking showed the interior of the lock cylinder. Maybe it was Hitman Blood Money?

[@rixerri3321]

Mafia 2 and assassins creed unity as far as i know has lockpickings to.

[@D.N.GlobalConsulting]

Gta v online too

[@GregConquest]

Thank you. This is the first time I've fully understood this principle of lockpicking. I know there are variations, etc., but now I finally understand exactly what is happening inside.

[@itsmisterchris]

And i was watching lock picking lawer the whole time and there you are explaining it so easily !!!

[@tanjiroOg295]

Your the first one who explained "binding" perfect for newbies to lock picking. Thanks got yourself a follow 🔒

This is great. I hate learning by “death by power point” but this is one of the fire instances I really appreciate it. I just started lock picking so I hope you post more videos like this

[@lucidmedia20]

When i was kid, i took my parents safe key and made a outline of it in paper then i use that outline to make a key out of video game cd. My small ass mind thought that it would be nice idea to use plastic material as a key. Then i tried to open the safe, only outer handle rotated, the key didnot rotate, ended up breaking the plastic key with half of it inside the hole. I did it so that i can buy video game cd without asking money. I gave up everything and i was preparing myself mentally to get hard ass slap from parents. Luckly found some twisers and pulled half piece out

If you had the key you should have just used the key. We're you a bright kid?🤣

[@noinfo3862]

Tell us please

[@yugserp]

Thanks for the graphic presentation of the workings inside a lock cylinder. You have validated what I have been simply surmising. Other pickers typically give a running dialogue as to what they are feeling inside the core. Now you have illustrated this in a clear and understandable way.

[@tillmerit8431]

Watched like 10 lock pick vids for beginners... yours is by far the most beneficial to me - thank you!!

[@WiliamBennettwildarbennett]

I got my first set of picks from CLK SUPPLIES Thursday last week. And within an hour I had my 1st lock picked. But this sure would have been helpful in reducing that time. Look forward to learning more from your videos.

Best single pin picking video I have ever seen. Thank you.

[@dondee5439]

GREAT EXPLANATION. It was easy to understand and the graphics were very helpful. I have watched dozens of LPL videos but yours answered a few unknowns for me. KEEP TEACHING US.

[@TheWpgMom]

Holy mackerel it worked! I was trying to open an empty office cabinet that I was given at work without keys. It was a little different because the whole lock mechanism seemed to come out but then I could easily turn the latch with a small screw driver. I used the 2 paper clip method and I can see how the correct tools would be a lot easier, but then the lock I was working on was probably a very easy lock. This was fun! I can see how it becomes a hobby easily. Thanks!

[@ErikISkogen]

Finally! Somebody who explanes the «nothing on one» thing👌

[@pcjohn0308]

I learned lockpicking years ago. I work in the arcade machine industry and always get used machines with lost keys. Arcade locks are very simple and easy to pick. It's much faster than drilling the lock or damaging the equipment by prying the door open.

[@12463trf]

What are false sets? I've heard them used before regarding pins, but it was not mentioned here.

[@dando541]

It’s a set but false

[@ticktockbam]

@@dando541 PogChamp

[@ravenfn831]

He has a very similar video to this that explains several different pin types. Very well worth watching. They shape the pins in very creative ways to give you a false click.

[@lauralishes1]

Thanks for this. I was watching other videos and they just seem to expect everyone watching knows what their talking about. This breaks it down far better than I've seen before.

[@phillhart2990]

Great vid - and the fist time I've been able to understand the terminology too "nothing on one".. etc . You have a really clear well paced way of explaining things. Hope you're a teacher in real life, you'd make a great one! Thank you!!

[@JM-mx8dr]

Excellent explanation Lockfall Laboratories. The best presentation I have seen.

[@AnimeArtista]

lost my filing cabinet key, thank you for this!!

[@limiv5272]

I've never picked a lock in my life, but I do watch LockPickingLawyer. I'm going to guess a filing cabinet has a very simple and cheap lock and suggest that before you spend time trying to pick it the proper way, try to jiggle it open with something that has a shape somewhat similar to a key. Anyway, tell me if you opened it, I'm curious!

best lock picking explaining video i've ever seen.

[@orcalilley7668]

brilliant video....all tutorial videos should be like this. Very clear and well explained

[@spiiro]

Thanks for that. Very helpful. Quick Question, at the 1.05min mark you say that you need something that lifts the pins high - but not too high. What happens if you lift them "too high"?

[@depressedhomo9330]

So since lock picking relies entirely on slight differences in the size of the holes/pins would a perfectly made lock be impossible to pick?

[@Yesmanpersondude]

No it would just be hard to do si

[@Yesmanpersondude]

[@RoonPicker]

Awesome video! Love the style.

[@evasuser]

and the clear and concise explanations.

[@t3h51d3w1nd3r]

I bought some cheap locks to learn picking, one of them has only one functional pin the rest are for show, an other opens just by inserting a long tension wrench, they were only 2euros each tho

Oof

[@Brutus2196]

This is the best explanation I’ve seen on KZbin thanks mate cheers

[@petesmith9472]

How do you determine which direction to apply pressure? This is an excellent teaching video. I’ve at last found out what nothing and binding mean.

[@ModMINI]

Most keys turn clockwise but you can just try pressure in the other direction if the first direction doesn't work.

[@linalucid6155]

This video is great! I have tried to find any video that explain in the easiest way. I will start practices tomorrow and see if get it.

i watched like a lot videos about lockpicking all of them were like not useful and this, this was prety underrated becaus it was the most useful video ive ever watched

[@WolfgerSilberbaer]

Thank you so much! I'm new to locksport (ordered my starting tools/training lock, but not received) and I've watched numerous videos to try to get my best possible understanding of what I'm about to undertake, but this video far and away is the best explanation of what I've already more-or-less pieced together from all those other videos.

[@popeyesailor8744]

Do all locks use 5 pins and how can you tell how many pins the lock has?

[@fu6817]

Kinda hard to imagine how small the differences of the pinhole positions are so they can be binded one by one.

[@odin8352]

I love listening to you talking.

[@charlesklein7232]

should locks be oiled? i have a practice "cut" open lock that i can see the pins with and its made from copper that i am having great difficulty with and it squeaks! and is rigid and difficult to move. certainly their is a special oil for locks that does not contain oil but is a graphite substance. or will the oil make the lock more difficult to pick? have you ever done a video on oiling a lock? will oiling it make it more difficult to pick?

[@jeffreyadams6738]

Please explain in more detail the pin binding order. Am I correct that this is entirely determined by the manufacturer's error acceptance and is random so that in your video above the 4,1,2,3,5 order has nothing to do with the key or original intent by the manufacturer for that lock?

[@glenshort6567]

I’m having trouble figuring out if I’m pushing on a pin or somewhere in between. Any advice?

[@xanebateup8069]

Until you get the hang of 'feeling' it, try loosening off the tension and until it moves, if it doesn't then it isn't a pin. Hope it helps
