[922] Abloy Model 3045 Padlock Picked and Gutted

Abloy: High security lock with anti-pick discs LPL: This would be fine for a garden shed.

Meh, Classic hasn't been high security for decades. Even Profile and High Profile (C shaped keyway) are obsolete, although all of these are still widely used.

Ooh, over 6 minutes. This one might take a bit of time to pick! Edit: it took LPL 1:47 to pick the lock. Seems like a solid lock just because of that fact.

took him 2 minutes the rest is gutting the lock

[@WarpRulez]

Pick resistance chart, LPL edition (how long it takes to pick): - Less than 5 seconds: Garbage. Avoid at all costs. - Between 5 and 10 seconds: Not completely bad. Could give some trouble. - Between 10 and 30 seconds: Quite good. Most thieves would be unable to pick. - Between 30 and 60 seconds: Extremely high-quality pick-resistant lock. - Over 1 minute: Practically unpickable.

[@redacted144]

WarpRulez yup, this guide is legit

[@Taffoman]

The thing is, none of the abloy locks use that classic core anymore. So the picking resistance has increased there. There is a reason LPL doesn't do abloy locks with Exec, Protec, or Sento cores. Hell, I haven't seen him picking anything with Abloy profile core. No offence to LPL. I enjoy your videos but I feel patriotic pride on our locks.

Welcome to my life... that’s all I ever notice. 😂

[@snoopdogie187]

The locks on the actual housing of the fuel dispenser is probably worse than the lock that is used at nights to lock the nozzle to the dispenser. The funny thing is that the nozzle holders are plastic, so no one would bother picking that, and would just break it. The housing is holding the parts that activate the payment system, which I imagine can be bypassed somehow. Of course, if the main turbines for the tanks are turned off, when the station is closed, then it wouldn't matter anyway, and it would be just a wasted effort. The bigger concern though is credit card skimmers. If fuel was missing, it would be known first thing the next morning at most stations. They can easily get a print out of the exact gallons in their tanks. Skimmers are harder to check for. This also reminds me, the lock holding the nozzle was better than the lock holding the lids on the fuel tanks, which also can easily be broken. Those fuel tank locks were masters, and they didn't look like anything special. The worst part is they get very dirty quickly, and would need to be changed. I also worked at a national chain, and the code used for night deliveries was the same at both locations, so I imagine it would be the same at more locations. Overall I gave the security an F, aside from the cameras.

I'm wondering if LPL has some machinists tools himself - he sometimes speculates about the making of some parts with proper machinists jargon, and I think I remember him mentioning that he planned to remake a part for a lock he showed. I've not followed him long enough to say for certain though.

The fact that you picked this lock is still impressive. I was just looking a 655 at work and wondering if these are easy to find to buy one for myself, but I think they are not.

[@Dawnshadow]

I saw something that you might find interesting. There's a Master Lock lock (doubtlessly featuring their infamous quality and workmanship) that's a directional padlock being sold for under $10. There's just a disc on the front that can be pushed up, down, left, and/or right; push in the correct directions and it opens. It does have a custom combination option that seems kind of flaky from the Amazon reviews. I'm well aware that this lock can't be remotely secure-- even the ad text only recommends it for school lockers and gym locks-- but I'm honestly curious about how it works mechanically and how it can be picked (short of the obvious route of simply unscrewing the back.) Like I said, it may pique your interest.

[@GruntJoe0341]

I swear, this is the most interesting channel that I've just started watching. It'd be nice to come across one that you'd actually recommend as really secure, though.

[@72polara]

Great video as per always. If you, perchance, take requests, I would very much like to see the Assa Twin Combi defeated.

If you are unable to get your hands on one, I'm sure I would be able to source a cylinder for you from somewhere.

Maybe I am just a newbie to lock picking, but love to see the guts of the locks. In this case, how does the core interact with the hasp to lock/unlock it, and what keeps someone from removing the screw and pulling the core if the lock is still locked?

Hey LPL, is it possible for you to try and defeat the iLoq S10? They've gained popularity in Finland and have been replacing mechanical Abloys, but I'm not sure if they are as secure as they claim them to be.

[@jessehamis]

Yeah my house has one aswell.. But I think you could open that lock by hacking it since the key is coded with a computee

[@TheAzynder]

@@jessehamis I would think you can sleep at ease, I have seen a few that claim to have picked or hacked it. They were either fake, required a service key or drilling. Using one of these will open any lock, I can tell that using brute force it can withstand more than your standard abloy. Once you remove the lock plate that is, the standard lock plate in iLoq is quite flimsy while the abloy gives the appearance of sturdy :)= EDIT: Though if I have missed something, I would be more than interested to know recent developments.

[@MrBluePoochyena]

Lived in an apartment with iLoq and I hated the door with its lock. Super ass to open when the keys decide to not be recognized (as in the key decides not to charge properly). I prefer older Abloy locks over them in ease of use even if they aren't as "safe" so to say

LPL video lenghts: Chinese/cheap lock: 2-3 minutes Abloy: 6-8 minutes Masterlock: 30 seconds - 1 minute

[@xremming]

"These haven't been made in quite a while". Haha, maybe this exact model has not been made by Abloy for a while, but there are plenty of similar replicas and Abloy still makes padlocks with the Classic keyway. I believe that the Abloy Classic is still the most common key here in Finland.

[@stevenmorris3698]

[@roysammons2445]

"OK LET'S PICK IT AND SEE WHAT'S INSIDE". Disks and spacers are inside 🤣. Sorry couldn't resist.

[@Glasseh]

I got a bit confused when I was trying to look up the lock. Since I used Model 4035, as what you have written in the title. Realized that it was 3045 a few seconds later. I'm sitting here with the Model 3041 myself. Old, well used. But still a really nice lock. Edit: Or maybe it's not an older lock. Might just be that it has a non-removable core. I think it's not removable, at least.

[@grayempepper8413]

I would love to learn more about how you can rekey these locks or even just make a key after you open it

[@TuomasLevoniemi]

The Abloy classic core is over 100 years old. And it is certainly not considered a security core. Of course, it is flattering that there are recent videos for picking those. Abloy Novel and Protec2 are never. However, in Finland, there is often a security lock on the front door, which is often ABLOY BODA 428 (or similar), in addition to the basic Abloy lock (like Novel or Protec2). Two separate locks are a very standard implementation on the front door.
