Might not be terribly impressive, but nobody in the world walks around with this kind of tools in his pocket.. in that regard these might be better than many modern cylinder locks
You any good with vaults? I hear Kevin Talbot another youtuber is trying to get into a vault long of an old bank that is now an RC shop, the landlord and everyone has no idea what's in the vault and the access is long since lost.
that took him an extra 20 seconds and he said it was harder…. omg, dude why are you not working for NASA, MI5, CIA, some agency i dont know. i suspect its cause you would make a lock that is pick proof but would be $20,000 for the basic model. god bless.
My guess is that it's to do with the attacks that are current. Thieves, unless they need to get in and out totally undetected, are always going to go for the weakest link, and with the ease of access to easily portable rotary cutting tools, drills, hydraulic jacking equipment, liquid nitrogen, etc, a fast destructive attack is far easier than bothering to pick a lock; they don't need to learn how to pick a lock. All your lock needs to do to meet its requirements is to push the casual thief to the next target. If you can't pick it by farting in its general direction, it's good to go.
Someone who has specifically targetted your stuff, and needs to go in covertly, will find someone sufficiently skilled to pick or bypass your lock no matter what. LPL shows that; nothing that can be "officially" unlocked without showing it's been done is immune to the same thing being done covertly.
Previously, destructive attacks were jemmy or bolt croppers, which are less easy to conceal, and at the time less easy to explain. So thieves had to learn to pick, and locks had to be more resistant to picking attacks.
Hi. I’m from the uk and I used to sell these locks in my diy store Back in the 90”s around £20 to £30 each. We thought back then they were the dogs pods. You’ve just made them look like they’ve come from a Christmas cracker 🙁
There was a great lock maker called Era…. he had a son he loved no dearer… at the age of 75, he said "Son I can't stay alive!" It's time you redesign my locks for a new era!
Every time I watch your video I wish I was a bank rober and you are my best friend. I took me more time to type this comment then you to pick this lock… any lock
Yes VERRY good, BUT, how easy would it be to pick without your special tools. The average potential robber extreemy unlikely to have such specialised tools available.???
He was on a disc detainer kick for a while after making "the pick Bosnian Bill and I made" now it seems to be lever locks. Still entertaining as always. I do miss the teardowns and discussion of what gave trouble and why.
The one thing I've learned from LPL is to never buy a lock from a box store. I will go to a locksmith and ask for the lock that smiths have the most trouble picking. And I will pay whatever…..even a few seconds can make the difference between me holding my shotgun to the perp's head or being the victim.
This is the Lockpicking Lawyer and yesterday I was sent to prison on a life sentence. I must say, some of the locks over there had design flaws that were simply inexcusable.
Please give stronger explanations, examples, and perhaps drawings of how the locks work. Witnessing the picking has become old hat with the channel providing more of the same. Thanks for listening!
The lockpicking lawyer tried to lock Chuck Norris in his bedroom with an unpickable triple-cored false gated quadrapin lock. Chuck Norris ate the door.
Hey i have been wacthing you do all of these videos for a long time and recently started to lock pick but all of my tennsion rods are bending can you tell me were to get some good teion rods thanks
A question came to my mind seeing you picking these locks: Would it be possible to destinktly see these looks have been tempered with without using the right key? After all you said you needed more torque if I understood correctly. So: Are there any traces of tempering after you or someone else looked inside that would clarify: This lock has been picked?
This man is so dedicated to his craft, I respect almost any field that man is an expert in. I like this guy.
I have owned one of the older locks for nearly 40 years. Still in perfect working order.
How old is the older lock?

can you imagine, "nothing on 1, nice click on 2 and DOH' then the video ends. Another great video.

Sometimes tried and true is better than new and improved
Is it hard to gut such a lock? Looks not designed to be easily possible…
I disliked the video.
It's evolving just backwards
The older one looks cooler
We had those on the gates when i was at school it was the old version
I wish there was a non-destructive way to see what was inside the lock. The internals of old locks are fascinating.
Just once i want to hear him say "hold my beer" – perfect voice for that.
When "considerably harder" translates to an extra 20 seconds…
0:50 Hah impressions! Is LpL a father because that's one sneaky dad joke.
Thanks for the content.
Keep up the good work.

This mans voice is enchanting

How does the newer one take less time to pick and still he got through 2 locks in less than 3 minutes?? Wow man 2/10 to the locks.
This man literally makes money by picking locks
Curious where these locks were used and why they were called insurance locks or is that just the brand name?

Next video: opening 10 locks in 3 minutes, since opening one per video is not fun enough
Still.. the average American would generally be lost with these locks.. perhaps the insurance feature is against American thrives on vacation?? 🤔
I was waiting for him to take it apart… So Sad.

Do the vault at fort knox gold reserve

at the age of 75,
he said "Son I can't stay alive!"

Doesn't engraving "5 lever" on the lock body just make it easier for lockpickers?
Typical English manufacture. Retro look, modern cheapness, worse product.

This guy can pick locks like he's got the master key and I can't even pick my nose correctly.
Before I spend £23 on a new laptop lock – https://www.kensington.com/p/products/technology-device-security-products/device-security-keyed-locks/clicksafe-keyed-laptop-locks-twin-lockheads/ – it would be great if @lockpickinglawyer could do a security assessment. I've got an old tubular lock that I won't use any more.

Master Lock vs zip ties
