[784] LiteLok Gold Bicycle Lock Picked

3:27 "So as you saw that wasn't that hard to open." Actually It looked like it was really hard to open, just not that hard to pick.

Maybe the lite part refers to your wallet after you pay for it. I don't know how it stacks up price wise to competitors but all that marketing wank sure sounds expensive.

[@Pistahhhhh]

I had this lock for 2 days. I returned it when I couldn't open it with 2 of the 3 keys. Possibly picking it would have been easier :)

You know that when the entire video is less than four minutes long, the LPL is going to go through that lock like a freight train through fog.

So there is a video of one of these being defeated "in 17 seconds" that Litelock has apparently had BLOCKED in the UK and tried to have removed from youtube. When trying a twisting attack have the lock housing to the front and twist it from the back, that seems to be the way that people reported theirs were broken from. I am not sure if some units just don't have enough cable attached to the lock unit or if they are all like that.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

I think they’ve added epoxy since then. I saw the video you’re talking about and closeups of the broken lock. It appears to be a crimp connection only. Mine is crimped and epoxied. Assuming I’m correct, it may be that they’ve altered the design to address this. As for blocking the video, that’s serious BS. EDIT- ‪I need to make a correction... now that I have torn it down, I see this joint is welded, NOT crimped and epoxied as I previously noted.‬

[@Riyame]

@@lockpickinglawyer Interesting that they are now adding epoxy. Really looking forward to the destructive testing now that the picking is over. Funny that Wayne Winton said that it was "pick proof" after only looking at the keyway in his video lol.

[@shader_son697]

This robust lock is essential for keeping your bike safe. They tried to defeat a single Litelok with a variety of commonly used kid's playset tools. As you can see, no matter how hard they tried the lock is sturdy enough to withstand all the different toys they use, from plastic bolt croppers to rubber hammers. You can be sure that your bicycle is well-protected from infants with Litelok. Not only does it meet all British and International lock quality standards but it has also attained the greatest security rating (0 out of 0) as awarded by the "independent" testing and certification "organisation" Sold Secure. Liteloks give you peace of mind, they feed you and keep you secure, they are in every sense your anchor in life. Litelok has an easy-to-use and flexible strap, making it effortless to secure around fixed objects (and to cut open), from bicycle parking stands to street furniture (what does that even mean lmao). It also comes with a patented inline (and definitely pick-proof, trust me) lock that was developed in close collaboration with a renowned British firm, whose name has been long forgotten to time. Liteloks close shut without a key. A key (or cable cutters) is only needed to open a Litelok. Weighing just 1.1 Kg (2.4 lbs), it is also very practical to carry around with you. While cycling, Liteloks can be secured along the top tube of your bike with high-quality velcro WrapStraps (which may actually be stronger than the Litelock itself), or within your bike frame. Alternatively you can carry your Litelok in a bag, or perhaps where it belongs, in a disposal bin. Oh and by the way, it can be opened in 16 seconds with cable cutters.

[@fluke196c]

I'm automatically skeptical of a product when it's aggressively marketed. On another note sometimes I wish I had the self control to wait until the evening to watch your videos. It's relaxing, and I imagine it would pair well with a glass of whiskey.

Knowing your tools capability is half the battle, I don't see someone stealing bikes hiding the large set of steel cable cutters though. Way to big to hide and carry around. Excellent video, thanks man!

[@peterwelsh6975]

If when you unlock it, squeeze it into oval instead of circle it will pop right open. The tension is what makes it hard to open.

[@wtfiswiththosehandles]

I think I saw a surveillance cam recording of someone having their bike stolen while protected with this lock. Thief was able to twist it open in a couple seconds.

[@bdf2718]

Maybe it's cosmetic flim-flam, but what's that flat strip at the left of the lock body in front of the cable? Clearly visible at 3:47. Probably nothing important. Or could it be a latch-release mechanism - give it a tug after you've unlocked it and the shackle springs out?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Just metal... not a release.

[@bdf2718]

@@lockpickinglawyer So why is it there? It looks as though it could gouge pieces of skin off your fingers as you struggle to get the lock open. Even apart from that, no competent engineer would include a part that serves no purpose. So it must do something, right?

Cutters, then ramset, and finally core disassembly and analysis. This can be a 3 part series.

[@tedpark6814]

As always, a brilliant job opening that lock. I haven't sent those things to you since we have some issues right now with our postal service. Another thing that comes to mind is that it looks hard to get through the spokes of a bike wheel. Since it's heavier than a U lock, that's kind of disappointing. When I'm going somewhere, it's pretty clear that it's not the bike or the lock that needs to be lighter, but even so every bit helps.

[@cyy3793]

Wow, the sarcasm is so subtle. LPL is a real gentleman..

[@jamesg1367]

[@kenji214245]

I bet you could get trough really quick with just a small cable biter as well. Since the inside is made of small wires you just "Chew" trough it in a minute or so.

[@dgecse]

Entertaining to see all the debris come out of the lock each time you pulled it apart - curious if this one would wear in, and get easier to pull apart with time, or if it just gets worse.

[@ColtaineCrows]

I imagine if the material the lock lug is coming out of is softer than the locking lug it'll eventually just gall up and become a total mess. Probably requiring you to go in there with a die grinder/file to open it up some. This is _definitely_ a manufacturing flaw, and considering the price of this, it's simply inexcusable, total QA fail.

Bike locks are probably better for people so they can discern if someone is stealing a bike or not. If they aren’t they’ll have a key, if someone is going up to it with a pick and it’s not the middle of the night, someone’s gonna call the cops. Or intervene themselves.

[@lukasadamson6091]

Owner here: Yes, my lock also requires a lot of strength to wrap it in order to close and open it. The key sometimes is stuck, when the cables bend the closed lock. So in order to open or close, I sometimes have to wrap the lock even more. Also the key sometimes is hard to even slide into the lock without twitching it around. One of the most vulnerable places to cut the lock is where the black rubber starts and the green nylon end. The black rubber is only glued on the blank cables and can be pulled away to reveal them. The very concept of the lock might be cool. That's why I bought it (ass cheap second hand - didn't believe the problems I just stated when the previous owner told me about them). But the lock isn't that light and very unpractical even if you fall for the marketing gag of buying two pieces and clipping them together to use them as a belt - I'm quite thin btw.

[@kareno8634]

Amazes me all the ingenious locks - but Most of all - those Tools you use that bid the 'locks' adieu. =]

[@teuth]

i think the main physical weakness for these locks is where the cables meet the clasp. the one i saw fail just had the cables simply crimped into place which isn't a strong enough bond to resist twisting. the ends should be brazed or soldered together or the ends of each cable capped and then bolted into a block. strong, light, cheap. PICK TWO.

[@nukfauxsho]

It feels like Christmas morning!

[@miaudottk9080]

Big side cutter plus a big hammer = 15 seconds or so How to: place the wire in the side cutter jaw as deep as possible, with the cutter square against a solid wall or the floor(one handle of the cutter sits firmly against that wall or floor). Then hit the upper handle with the hammer. 2-3 times for each wire should be enough.

[@MrV1NC3N7V3G4]

Can't wait for the destructive opening! LPL seems to pick everything he puts his hands on, short of the Bowley, and I'm not sure he's tried the EVVA MCS and HYT Chain Key. In any case, while I love the art of lock picking, I have grown to enjoy the more practical and destructive approaches to negating locks that he uses because they are most likely the methods that will be used by thieves, and who cares if it takes 6 hours to pick your $300 lock core when he can cut through it in seconds?

[@anthonypetrillo841]

It's a disc detainer pick. It allows you to rotate each disc individually while keeping tension on the core. This video might help you understand how disc detainer locks work, and in turn, how the pick works. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6aVp6BqdtlngK8 It seems like many of the disc detainer locks that LPL picks don't even have false gates (Not because LPL couldn't pick them, but because most manufacturers don't seem to give a shit about making high pick resistance locks).

[@damien5442]

I have that lock and yes it is difficult to open with the keys, some times the keys will not even turn inside the locking mechanism.

[@jttech44]

Man, this thing has marketing wank written all over it. If your keys aren't opening it reliably, that points to generally poor construction and tolerances. Makes sense if you consider the profit margin on the lock given the amount of marketing money they're spending on it.

You make it look easy. But I think you should mention how much went into finding and modifying a back of key tensioner and learning to use it. The list of people who can open that in a reasonable time is pretty short. Very curious to see the destructive testing though. I wonder why they think multiple cables is better that one thick cable? couldn't you just cut through them one at a time with bolt cutters?

[@RealUnimportant]

It's probably a flexibility thing. One single cable couldn't be that wide while also being that short, as it wouldn't be able to bend tightly enough. The thinner the individual cables, the smaller and more flexible the overall lock can become, although at greater risk of compromise as we're soon to see!
