[594] Centurion 60mm Iron Padlock Picked and Combed Open

[@cdw3423]

it's lack of corrosion resistance might be it's biggest security "feature". After it's been rusting for a while it will seize up and then no one can get in :)

[@seanbax2622]

A grinder with cutting will open the lock

[@OriginalGriff]

@@seanbax2622 By the look of the "Hardening", a cheese grater would be as efficient as a grinder here.

[@bradameerbeg2154]

Ah.... see, they were thinking about it being neglected....

[@senior_ranger]

Apparently, high security in this case means you have to be high to believe it's secure.

[@Forthought44]

That's hilariously accurate !

[@stevemanart]

This episode let me get into my friend's shed after he lost the key. We were just chatting about games and stuff and he told me that he lost the key to his shed so I asked him what kind of lock he had and the name centurion rang a bell. So using pixel measurements and comparing to the lock itself, I made a comb pick out of a can of corn. It wasn't easy to do and took a few tries, but once I got it made the lock popped open right away.

[@recklessroges]

The rate at which these are falling make me think that sport lock-pickers should have their person (nemesis) currently available locks as a short list on their site. Then we can do a meta analysis to find the few locks worth buying.

[@thermalnoise2976]

I don't know why, but I am fascinated by these videos.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Because you’re learning that you’ve been lied to you entire life. The security of these locks is an illusion.

[@MorellioBenoir]

Ooh, haven't seen a comb pick before. Thanks LPL!

[@Zodliness]

They're all over the non-ebay online markets!

[@AlbertLebel]

Fantastic work. Love the way you explain the faults. Well said. Very false advertisement on their part..

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks... and you’ve been on a binge today. Your comments are popping up on a whole bunch of videos. 👍😁

[@AlbertLebel]

LockPickingLawyer work has been slow. Shshshshsh!!! Don’t tell my boss I’m on here.

[@kellytoth5866]

I want more gallium! As always, thanks for a good vid.

[@160rpm]

Yess shape totally reminded me of that crumbling lock lol

[@Thezaccazzac]

I wasn't going to watch this video at first, but then i saw it was Combed and just thought to myself : "Oh no... But, this is gonna be good"

[@JC-11111]

Wow. 2 overlift attacks in one day. I'm on a roll! I've never come across any of your vids on this specific type of picking until today, the day I actually looked for info on overlift attacks. 👍

[@OGConeHead]

The rotation at 2:33, so terribly underrated.

[@Tb0n3]

My first reaction was that key bitting. Soooo bad. It looks like the kind of depth you get in the cheapest of cheap cores.

[@fnregistration]

That's what I was going to post too. I saw the keys in the thumbnail and they almost look like blanks lol

[@KuruGDI]

Thanks to this video I now know what comb picking really does! Thank you very much for this info!

[@funkeyfastdrawmonkey1483]

All the high cuts on the key makes it vulnerable to comb attacks. Unless they put long drivers. Great video LPL👍

[@danielroglich3309]

That was sweet,never seen the comb pick in action. Thanks for the review brother!

[@johnmccormick2883]

Nice review ... learned something ... comb picks ! To summarize the key ring holding the 3 Keys looks good I guess 😜

[@ofekpearl]

Good one lawyer! I learn so much from you!

[@bangeman71]

Learning from ur vids u are very cool and amazingly talented have learned lots of knowledge keep going

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

Before comb picks were a thing, i used a deep hook and hard tension to overlift the pins. I was super clever... until I found out others had been doing it long before I did.

[@jamesg1367]

Better sell my Centurion stock. ;-)

[@scottishdigger4991]

Everytime I watch mr LPL taking the crap out of these locks I find myself looking at certain locks and thinking I gotta stop watching him or al be in the jail soon 👊🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

[@william6453]

I wanna see more British locks

[@lockpickinglawyer]

I have a whole bunch on my channel... 👍

[@ovalwingnut]

Say What?? (watched it again..) Ohooooo. I get it now. Say What?---->were they thinking..... Never seen that before. Adding that tid-bit to my resume :) Thank you. Cheers!

[@giggleisraw1154]

You make it look so easy keep it up bro👍

[@Liberty4Ever]

Wow. At a time when most lock manufacturers corrected the design flaw that allows comb picks to open their cheap gym locker padlocks, I was not expecting to see that exploit in a lock that's even superficially attempting to look like a security padlock.

[@daytona1212]

Luv these videos. Nice work!!

[@Jake1973_]

Thanks for the video, I was actually looking to order this lock lol Not some much now

[@sarnold1277]

Thanks for showing how to use combs!!!

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

Never seen this style, of construction before. Now, I finally understand why comb picks exist, as he slaps ... his forehead.

[@paulstaf]

You know when they stamp the mm of the lock on the body, they are crap....hehehe I like how they trademarked "Centurion USA" so you might not be paying attention and THINK it is made in the USA.

[@gutsngorrrr]

Wow, you really do dig out some crap locks. How they get away with saying this is a high security lock, I don't know.

[@_BangDroid_]

This was some A grade chineseium

[@planescaped]

Made out of iron... a sledge hammer would break this. Uninformed masses tend to think Iron=super strong yo

[@Enclave.]

They get away with it because there's little if any regulation as to what you're allowed to say about these locks on the packaging or on the locks themselves. The free market is shit, this is why we need regulation.

[@kimj2570]

Enclave Locks are curious product. You can get away unbelievable lies on product specs. I don't mean slogans like "pick-proof", "tough under fire", but outright lies on construction, cylinder type, pin-count, hardening process, etc. In here they can get away also, if they keep their lies on product blister on store shelf. Inside EU commercials or other more active marketing with false information can bring stiff financial penalties. Importers of trash stay wisely their heads down on fringes of business and get only the random uneducated buyers.

[@TechGorilla1987]

Oh how LPL detests your bogus "High Security" designation...allow him to show you the many ways.

[@scottishdigger4991]

Also mr lawyer are u real lawyer as I may need one soon, pick kit ordered lol

[@lockpickinglawyer]

I am a lawyer, but not that kind. Stay legal! 👍

[@talleagle1]

Hi LockPickingLawyer, I'm a newbie at picking and have been watching a ton of your videos. And let me tell you that I have been nothing less than totally amazed by your skillset. Completely awesome! Can you please tell me what serrated and spool pins do in making picking more difficult? Thank you and I will continue to watch your fascinating videos!

[@yaboipaco4499]

you should make a video going over all of your lock picking words, like spool and false sets

[@richscott2090]

nice job

[@GozonTheGonsarian]

ductile iron is very corrosion resistant. that's why they used to build ships out of it.

[@jeremywhite7654]

I bought exactly the same lock (Centurion SIPL060), and exactly the same tool (the double headed comb with the blue rubber in the middle), and I still can't comb open this lock. Even after watching and determining that you used the smaller 6 end. Did they improve the lock without updating the model number, or is it actually harder for non-LPL people to open than it appears?

[@God8-O]

Hey LPL when you disassemble a lock can you also show the reassembly???

[@lockpickinglawyer]

I definitely will not do it all the time, but maybe I’ll post a couple reassembly videos... after you’ve seen a few, it get really boring imo.

[@PSUQDPICHQIEIWC]

if that's actually iron and not steel, i'd be interested to know how resistant it is to impact by a hammer... or a ramset.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

You may find out. 😉

[@tny-]

crazy how a lock like that can be pumped up by amazon reviews and sponsorships. unfortunate because i used to rely on amazon reviews when buying things but the sellers have figured out how to artificially inflate their numbers. really defeats the purpose.

[@MultiVde]

Can you try and shim between the core and the housing, some chinese locks don't have the normal style core (T shape) but just a cylinder which is susceptible to shimming.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

I did try, and the lip blocks the shim... even with the sloppy core. ☹️

[@PinBallReviewerRepairs]

You just got yer 900th like from me. You are welcome. ;)

[@doktaahwho8858]

Can you tell us what make model or manufacturer of comb picks you used in this video???

[@jetbikingturtle5084]

LPL face reveal 👀👀

[@VideoNOLA]

Be sure to Report > Wrong Information > Product Description on the Amazon site, so that they can update/eliminate false claims.

[@sheldonfrost1213]

Did anyone see how little amount of material there was at the toe of the shackle after the locking notch? I'm curious how a pry attack would fair against the "hardened" steel?

[@CraigGood]

Other than that a pretty decent lock, then.

[@gsaldana22]

Would this lock be similar in design flaws and picking technique to the Centurion 50mm?

[@KevinBReynolds]

I am dumbfounded by all the locks you so easily defeat. Are there any good ones you might recommend?

[@Zodliness]

What a serious failing, if I were their designer, I'd resign out of embarrassment!

[@TheSacredFlair]

A padlock brand possibly worse than a Master brand padlock? Didn't think it was possible

[@larryg7336]

How do you know if you can use a comb pick on a pad lock ? Except for just trying of course.

[@RichardsWorld]

I'm sure he does his research and experiments, testing, and records lots of video before he has something he wants to upload to KZbin.

[@rileyfenley522]

I try just pushing my pick up on the pins to see how far up they will go. It usually only works on locks that have the pin stacks inserted from the side of the body.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Larry, often times you can tell just by looking at the design. This flaw is pretty common, particularly in Chinese made locks ... the limiting factor is usually the keyway and fitting the comb pick in.

[@StefanDembowski]

I wonder if it could be bypassed too?

[@bird718]

out of curiosity i googled the company, that's the top of the line maximum security padlock... you get what you pay for

[@nathanfielure4305]

I always buy thing on top of my search results.

[@JoshWebb]

Where's a good source for 6 pin combs? Sparrows only carries 4 and 5 pin ones.

[@scottishdigger4991]

Wonder if I could my pick kit in the jail with me 🤔

[@HenrikNjgaard]

Can probably be opened by rapping as well.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Good point. Probably. I may just rap it with the ramset for fun. 😈

[@tuba7084]

I wonder, if you hit the lock on the opposite side on the pin plugs, if the Ramset would be able to knock the pins out. Might be a fast way to gut the lock and able to have fun with your favorite tool in the toolbox lol

[@locksmithsilva1163]

Was the tension light tension or heavy?

[@theuncalledfor]

Why bother adding spools on a lock that can be combed open?

[@totensiebush]

It's pretty sleazy for them to have the big USA on the front when it's Chinese. Are you sure that the body is iron? That seems really odd to me. Plain, low carbon steel (aka mild steel) seems far more likely to me (and it has most of the same downsides as you mentioned). Typically when people say "iron" they mean cast iron, which has more carbon in it than steel and is therefore very hardenable. I don't really know of any applications where pure(ish) iron is used, though. I'd expect it to be a translation issue, and be steel.

[@Arleon46]

Sorry, is this an American brand?

[@Forthought44]

The second he said china the GARBAGE warning bells started ringing !!!!!

[@mathewwinney8036]

I have this problem with a pair of handcuffs...

[@scottsmith4204]

Why would you ever use straight iron on a lock? Unless you are making a cast iron pan, steel is almost always better.

[@Ghorda9]

but is it cheaper than a master 140?

[@ericlk47]

How ia It legal for a security device to lie about a hardened shackle

[@MatthewsPersonal]

Its wrought-iron? Huh

[@Shad0wBoxxer]

Was it made by master?? Lol

[@DonzLockz]

Hope you didn't pay too much for this pos. 😁 You should get a refund now for false adverting of "high security" & "hardened shackle".🤔🍺👍🏽

[@applecider5846]

I went to the about area and found no email address.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

My KZbin name at gmail. 👍

[@DeadmanCo42]

Centurion got wreked

[@Fastgt2003]

Think any of those padlocks that cost like a grand would be any better ?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Yes, I do. Though they aren’t worth the money imo.

[@WineScrounger]

More faith based security. Gah.

[@coladict]

You don't just get into them quickly, but inconspicuously, because no one who doesn't have their face in the lock will notice it's a comb you're using, instead of the key.

[@Polite_Cat]

its funny that the little "HARDENED" stamp on the shackle has become part of lock design for so long that it almost seems like something is left out if it's not on there. the problem is that there is no real definition as to what hardened means and the term is not protected at all. sort of like food buzzwords, "Fresh", "healthy", etc.. it has essentially become meaningless UNLESS it says something specific like abus' "nano protect" or perhaps some sort of boron alloy, etc.. then at least they are sort of making an actual claim that can be tested. same problem goes for "high security". chinese lock manufacturers love "top security"

[@chypredust]

This lock is a crash course in how to not make a lock

[@siggyincr7447]

Just out of curiosity, if you ever do a destructive test on this lock can you try to bend the shackle? A file test really only shows that it's softer than the file, which doesn't mean that it's completely soft. But if you can bend it without breaking, that would show that it it really is as soft as it came from the mill.

[@texpatriot8462]

Sometimes, I think they spend extra time and money to build a crappy lock

[@Enigura]

Do you remember how much you paid for this lock, LPL? Was it horribly overpriced or did it seem like a good buy (at the time)?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

I think it was $12ish, but don’t really remember.

[@getprobed838]

so Centurion USA doesnt mean its made in the USA...

[@909cobra]

scary...

[@chrisplaut394]

proposing to changing LPL name to Iron Baddy

[@cameronsmith3988]

Combed? That's really bad, right?

[@TechGorilla1987]

Better than a perm for sure. XD

[@Zodliness]

Comb tools were originally designed to overcome the simplest of lock designs, where the high chambers were a common feature, many Chinese locks can be defeated this way, which makes this lock about the same quality. If you can even use that word when talking about this lock!

[@michaels3429]

china kinda plays us for fools, and generally they're right. its frustrating. thanks for your videos

[@AlisonWheeler]

So, basically, it's a complete waste of money. Good to know!

[@Tendies7645]

Face revl at 1:25

[@frankbiz]

Definitely don't buy this lock on many counts.

[@julianp2868]

WOW we all know China made stuff is dodgy but what a waste of metal and machining

[@tsimmons4730]

This lock is complete garbage what it sounds like

[@BSOE3058]

Comb pick is the oldest trick in the book, what a worthless pick...

[@pyratemage]

Rubbish! :)
