[224] Cobra Tubular Puck Lock Picked and Improved

[@idkidk4334]

Lol I picked opened my tubar the second right when you said "really really nasty lock"

[@WardenWolf]

LSI Depot now offers this lock for sale with an Abloy core already installed. I just picked one up.

[@dan_austin__873]

Such great videos mate. Really enjoy the pace and the way you explain as you pick. Keep up the great work. Going to buy that tool set next week when I get payed. From Queensland, Australia.

[@Sprnklrmn]

Thank you for making the video I’ve been looking for. I’ve wanted to upgrade my puck lock. Now I have some insight.

[@angelsantiago5943]

i never got a chance to win anything from you but to me it's okay course i anjoy every video you show and you always amaze me with how smooth you are with picking Lock's love it 100 prisent thank you i learn alot from just whaching your videos 👍

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks for the kind words. I will start giveaways up again at some point.

[@carlosedwardos]

Haha - you put the Louis Rossmann quote: "I hope you learned something" at the end of your video! - Man, Louis is becoming a cultural icon here on youtube!

[@feralwoodcraft]

Absolutely fascinating tool and excellent demo, thank you!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks.

[@Steel-Pinnings]

Now that's a lock. lol I just love that core you traded it out to. Cheers!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks.

[@Potti314]

Self impressioning is always nice to see. Great lock.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks. It still amazes me that most lock makers having fixed this design flaw.

[@mattmatthews3909]

5.5 years old and still helpful

[@salspec3381]

This video helped me work out a higher security option for my trailer so thank you.

[@huxleypig69]

Awesome, lol! We have a similar lock here in the UK but it has an octagonal post and much less clearance around the edge, so you can't get a 'standard' tubular pick in at all.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

You can see that their heart was in the right place, but the execution wasn't quite there. In any case, replacing the core is easy enough and can make this lock formidable.

[@stevesracingbits]

What is the lock from the UK thanks

[@paulonutella]

Another great informative vid I do appreciate very much the inside you present and taking time to explain etc. and I also like how the format is consistent and uniform thanks lpl where abouts in the states are you from? I've got family over there thanks lpl

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks for a positive feedback -- It's always nice to hear. I'm in the DC area.

[@HG-pv9nj]

Impressive demo of the kit. I would be interested in purchasing a kit. Thank you.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks. You can find them on most of the Chinese websites... DHGate, Alibaba, Banggood, etc. Just search "HUK Tubular Lock Pick."

[@krissisk4163]

There's someone on Ebay selling these locks with Abloy cores. I can't tell from the photos exactly what model the core is, but it's definitely an Abloy disc detainer core. And it's only $51 with free shipping. Gonna be hard to find a better puck lock than that.

[@corry7040]

I bought two of these locks and discovered that if don't come with Abloy key tags you can't get spare keys made.

[@curryfan1691]

One of the best channels on YT... I've picked up alot of info on locks. Keep up the great vids. Two question on these cobras; how's the metal, and how about their other locks? THX

[@danielroglich3309]

Sweet demo . Love the cobra puck lock !

[@pickbeard2690]

Very "potentially" impressive lock.🤔🤔🔐👍 It does remind me of the karate kid every time I look at the design on the face of it 😂😂😉😎 Thanks for sharing again 👍👍👍

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks... and LOL at Cobra Kai. And don't forget, Cobra Kai's are the good guys! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZCqq5KfidqFg68

+LockPickingLawyer watched it and lolz thanks 😂😂😂😂

[@thechamp66]

@lockpickinglawyer Ok, where can I get the alternative cores that you mentioned for this Cobra Puck Lock. What is the model number of the Cobra Puck Lock?

[@flinkplop8055]

Please can you give link to by the cobra and the t handle core?

[@mikespl4180]

To the lock picking lawyer Just received my huk kit, older style like yours with the tension bar, my question is my 7.8 and 7.5 seem to not fit in the keyway/groove. Have u ever seen the tooling of these picks being off before? If I press any harder into the lock I'm going to either damage the pick, needles, or score the hell out of it, I believe when they made my kit, it maybe out of spec, like the machining or tooling is off, idk I'm stuck lol

[@jusmejohnson]

Just wondering if you where able to get that 7.8 to work? I ordered the set to open up my (deceased) grandfather's tool box and I still can't open it. I've checked with local locksmiths...no help. I'm lost and REALLY want to keep this for my son. Any suggestions anyone???

[@pouncerminned863]

@@jusmejohnson little late.. are you sure the lock has a need for tension bar? If it has 2 notches, you need that tension rod installed. If it only has one notch on lock then you can’t use tension rod s as no u need to remove it

[@bobrewer202]

I simply cant make it work. I ordered the exact set that you have. I push and twist as you demonstrated on a couple of tubular locks and I get nothing. Of course, I’m no LPL, but you’d think I’d get lucky at least once.

[@iggymac3473]

LPL nice lock and core thanks

[@glen8449]

Very nice lesson and lock.

[@ladyhawke12]

So, you could potentially re-key tubular puck locks?

[@mfoco1]

I have a set of those impressioning tools, but they don't fit the lock I need to pick. It seems the lock's alignment-slot is too small

[@64akon]

nice upgrade man great picking

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks

[@mylgphoneelgee162]

I think the reason is cuz the notch on the ring that turns the core isn't there unless I'm mistaken the faceted shape is to turn the lock rather than the tiny notch( possibly?)

[@jaket.9193]

That replacement core looks like the one my matco tool box has

[@technosasquatchfilms]

Thanks for doing the instructional vid!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

My pleasure... I've been meaning to feature that Cobra lock for a while. This was just a good excuse. :-)

[@technosasquatchfilms]

I've got a set of those picks and have been rather unsuccessful with them. I'll have to try your method.

[@BoredLockpicker]

+technosasquatchfilms I've found that using them on locks that have a cam attached to the back with any kind of pressure on it makes them really difficult to use. Easier to spp it one time and turn it just a tad where it isn't locked then you can impression it and open it the rest of the way.

[@DavidShepheard]

The octagonal inner security feature sounds like it might be a lie to trick customers into feeling more secure. Is there any chance you could get the informaion from the special key or your impressioning tool to get a duplicate key made from a normal blank, so that you can test your theory. If normal keys work, then the key control is an illusion that you should probably call out. But it is possible that the normal key looks like it would work, but there is something in the design that stops it working.

[@BoredLockpicker]

I have the Goso impressioning set. I wouldn't have those they look better to me. Just in case I'm not the lucky winner what brand are they?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

This set is "HUK" brand. I have the Goso set as well... they never come out for two reasons. First, the sizing of the Goso tips is a tad off; the HUK set fits into more keyways more smoothly. Second, and just as importantly, these work much, much better... no comparison IMO. FWIW, I have a Klom tool also. The HUK works better than that one also.

[@BoredLockpicker]

+LockPickingLawyer ok cool. Thank you! I'm going to order a set.

[@themadhatter4761]

Very interesting and informative, thanks for vid.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks.

[@rodneygatson5979]

Love your information can you send me info on cobra upgrades please I have one for a trailer I own thanks 🙏 and keep the videos coming

[@NoctisMotus]

The Cobra's supposed key control is a bit of a fail but I like your suggestions very much.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks, and yes it certainly is a strange take on patented key control!

[@ALEXMADE]

i have the same tools, but i can NOT open safe tubular lock, maybe it some security pins inside? or am i doing something wrong?

[@no65mph]

Hey are you still responding to old videos like this? I am looking for 2 good puck lucks for my work van. Been a long time subscriber and ran across this video. I was going to pick up the cobra on your review of it, but would like to replace the core with something good. What is a good one these days to replace it with and where can I buy them at? Thanks in advance Mike

[@nor.calspotter]

What website did you order it from

[@MindKontrolleProject]

How do you transfer the 7 pins from the tool (that opened the lock) to a depth code on a tubular key cutter for a blank key?

[@motome8]

Where can you purchase those tools?

[@pappanasty01]

Very, Very great video! One of the best I've seen! Can you give me the link and exact details of the this set from DHGate that have the tension bars please?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

I have no idea which ones come with the bars. It’s a problem.

[@christopherfisher1694]

Genius!

[@DarkWoodPicks]

A guy at my work bought two sets of these picks, neither work. XP Guess it's a hit and miss. Good job opening the lock. :) Cool lock!

[@eddiespencer1]

I've never tried to pick a tubular lock. They look tedious and somewhat intimidating to me as a newb, lol.

[@FoMoCo4ever]

Where can i get a TuBar t-handle core at?

[@mikemullenix6956]

Twobar core lock ? Is that how its spelled?

[@jeffmoss26]

neat lock.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks -- agreed

[@jeremykuhn7077]

I know this video was posted 4 years ago, but I was wondering if you still had this lock with the keyed core that you put in it?

[@MsBrouzouf]

It seems that the detente is only spring loaded. So, could it be possible to design a shim for this kind of locks ? Some kind of hook made of thin sheet metal.

[@Fanta....]

it depends on the lock. some are spring loaded, but only when the key is in and turned. the Abloy plug latch doesn't have any angle at the end. so the pin goes well inside the hole and is unable to be shimmed.

[@gwallamagfedpaintball767]

Can you do the cobra slide winder

[@rc6encrypted354]

let's say you put in an Abloy core. is the lock just as good (physically attack wise) as an Abloy branded lock ?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Maybe as good as some Abloy locks. I don't have that many Abloy locks, so it's hard for me to generalize. I have a 362 (a truly bada$$ lock) in which the protec core is set deeply into the lock. I'd have to imagine that adds an extra element of protection from physical attacks. But for practical/normal purposes, I'd imagine the security provided by the Cobra/Abloy combination is pretty darned good.

[@MrSteveCasper]

I need 4 puck locks keyed alike for an enclosed trailer I just bought. What lock do you recomend? There's 4 of these on ebay for 157.30 + 8.05 shipping. Where could I get these replacement cores your talking about and how expensive are they?

[@Julian-do7bv]

what was the name of those lock cores that you named off I can't find and listed and which core would you recommend for cost and security

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Julian Rada You can usually find Abloy cores on eBay for $ 20-30... they are quite robust.

[@Jeeethus]

LPL, could the core from the War-Lok puck be used in this?

[@CJayC253]

What site did you get that set from, anyway?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

DHGate.com

[@joelvarney5091]

As you can see it's a standard T handle core. OH yeah! saw that right away! psst, what the heck is a T handle core?!?

[@Fanta....]

T-handles are commonly found on drink vending machines like coca cola. you turn the key and a t shaped handle pops out of its recess and allows you to unscrew the front door of the vending machine.

[@joelvarney5091]

@@Fanta.... Oh! Ok, I have seen those before. Thanks!

[@jonathanbailey26]

Can you use a tubular lock pick on any pin lock?

[@EdCorrea]

where did you buy your set of Huk lock picks?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Whoever has them for the cheapest... any of the usual Chinese sites will do... dhgate, banggood, alibaba, etc...

[@EdCorrea]

I did see the set on a couple of those sites but when I read the comments people state that the tension bars are not included nor are the tools machined to accept one. That's why I ask where you got yours because obviously yours have the tension bar inside. If you want to get rid of your Huk set sell it to me. I can PayPal you the money. I trust you over sketchy type websites

[@lockpickinglawyer]

It used to be that they all had that little bar... now it's hit or miss. I know that ones I got from Banggood had them.. but 3 weeks later, they were shipping products without them. ...a craps shoot, apparently.

[@gardenman3]

what is to stop anyone from removing the screw on the back?

[@chrissadventuresinlockpick8267]

Did you have to mod the pins to install them I just tried fitting mine and none of them fit,

[@Fanta....]

some you may have to shave down a bit so they clear the hole and allow the plug to come out. but also note there are a few different holes for different plug types. make sure you're using the right hole on the bible..

[@Chadwick805]

Smart!!

[@randynelson5843]

Does anyone know the model or part number of this Tubar dual-side bar lock with eight sliders that he installed in that puck lock? I like to order some but can't seem to locate them online.

[@evnchn6733]

How about your opinion on the lock that sucks most?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Sucks the most? Have you seen my video on the MARS dimple lock?

[@evnchn6733]

+LockPickingLawyer yes the MARS dimple lock did suck but I had one that suck more a Chinese lock that only had 3 pins and can be opened with a paper clip and the core cracked with a Bobby pin

[@beardyface8492]

Am I totally off beam.. or does pulling the core only require shearing that one weedy screw regardless of what pick resistance you spend $$$ on?

[@Fanta....]

the lock cylinder has its own retracting pin. the grub screw is just to prevent the whole lock housing from falling out once the proper key is used and the shackle is retracted, it doesn't provide security.

Thanks a lot lock pick a lawyer!!! I gave this a thumbs down because in one of your videos that I saw I got to see the hock seven pen set in action I like it so much that I clicked on your link in the video and it took me straight to the website where I didn't bother to look at any of the scription and I want to head and paid for these pit locks. I get them to weeks later And I pull out of the package not hook but a brand called DANIU. I open them up they look identical to the ones in the video and on hooks website except for there's no tension wrench pan. There's not even a place to put one. Now it's just a paperweight unless I can figure out someway to modify it myself. Thanks a lot I won't be trusting anybody on KZbin for a long time.
