I own this lock. I used it on my bike before I got into a wreck. The first thing that made me go "damn, this thing sucks" is when he first inserted the key to show that it works. The key they gave me with my lock was so shitty, that it would often take upwards of 30 seconds to get it to unlock WITH the key. The other thing that made me think bad things was that his lock didnt randomly start making noise when it was just laying there still. The alarm on mine would often set off while there was nothing touching it or the bike. I would set it, walk away, and after I was about 20 feet away, the incredibly loud alarm would go off. Combine that with the shitty key, and it often meant that I would set it in the non-alarm side just so it wouldn't scream for no reason. I'm sure my neighbors loved that one.

That is freaking awesome! We need more videos like this!

The main defense, in my opinion, is the fact that this requires such a specialized tool and specialized skills." that is legalese for "this lock is good, but the alarm doesn't make it any harder to pick."

The question is what are you trying to defend against.

Thieves who will just bypass the lock and cut the chain. The specialized vs unspecialized threat. Most thieves or security experts won't bother picking. They'll try to go around the lock if possible. The difference between then now is with the alarm you know something is wrong. Without you don't know till later. Which is useful

Well... it seems like you already have all of the specialized tools and skills or, at least, have the capacity to create the specialized tools and learn the skills you´ll need to defeat most locks. I recently discovered your channel and didn´t take it seriously at first because the ease with which you seem to able to pick or otherwise thwart most locks.

Hi, LPL. Nice Lock. I guess the colors and red light scare away the bad guys. Seems a bit pricy though.Thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!

Your the man Bravo!!! from Finland Subscribed !!!

what a true disk detainer alarm lock should do is when a single disk is rotated rather then all of the disks at one time, the alarm will go off, unfortunately I don't know of any lock made that dose this but I think a lock maker should try to pull it off. As a locksmith in training, I think that locks like the Abloy Protec2, and the abus plus core locks should carry these features and should be a little more affordable. The locksmith that is training me has found a way to make a regular Schlage 5 or 6 pin lock affordable and very pick resistant, we have found that if we double up on the springs and add spools, serrated and custom made pins we get a ton of pick resistance. And if customers want to pay a little extra we can counter mill them or do other tactics to make picking very difficult. A lot of key blanks are made in Mexico. The locksmith that is training me was born in mexico, but is a US citizen, so when he vists his family in mexico he can get key blanks for cheap down there then he takes them back to the US when he returns and can charge a little less for cutting keys.

I don't steal things and although I did master rudimentary lock picking, I'm not passionate about it and am happy knowing I live in an insecure world. I'll take other measures when the risk is high.

Next week: This is the LockPickingLawyer and I just got a new motorcycle

I love how you make all locks look like trash XD i love your channel for that fact lol these lock manufacturers look more like toy producers 😂😂😂😂😂

This lock requires a custom home made tool and a really experienced locksmith. That would be enough to keep most thieves away. When you have this lock on a motorcycle that is parked in a line with other motorcycles that all have locks that can easily be picked with a jiggler key, that reduces the probability of this motorcycle being stolen down to nearly 0%!

I reckon adding some sort of chain or device that covers the key hole meaning lock has to be moved to get access would maybe help.

"Requires a specialised tool and specialised skills" that's good enough for me, no one is going to want my CB125F that badly that they'll go to the expense of buying the tool, buying a lock to practice, and get good enough to not trigger the alarm.

I could see that. However, people are crazy. Even if the person has a key to the lock, they can fumble around with it to open it. It sounds like a good idea, but the fact that people will be using the lock makes it impractical. Just a thought, nothing more.

A story... I’m a very regular viewer of your videos and they’re great. I was watching Terminator 2: Judgement Day a few days ago and there’s a scene where Sarah Connor breaks out of her hospital ward cell by picking the lock with a paper clip. When she put the first bit of the paper clip in the top of the lock I literally muttered to myself “top of the key way tension...” and I was like... wow LPL is really rubbing of on me!! Was funny. Anyway. Bye!

He has a very specialised set of skills....

The other day I saw a huge electrical wire manhole cover with a lock on it. Then I noticed it was a little master lock. Then I noticed it was covered in rust. Then, I noticed that IT WASN'T EVEN LOCKED! lol

That's why we leave those on a chain tucked under the motorcycle. You need to turn it around to access the lock and it will activate after 2 seconds. Besides, nowadays taking the padlock off will activate the second alarm unless the proximity token is near.

I think a good additional security feature would be a Bluetooth connection and a special app. When the alarm is armed from the app, any sudden movement or attempt to turn the lock would activate the alarm. To open it you'd first have to disarm it from the app and then open the lock. Battery usage is a factor in this, but luckily low power Bluetooth exists.

People who thought this alarm would make LPL's job much harder didn't think that if true alarms would always be going off when owners inserted their key to unlock.

I can imagine the bloopers for this video would be hilarious

People who feel safe owning this lock "Betcha Can't".... LockPickingLawyer "Hold my shims"

*Redbull can

I think I know what they should do, put false gate at the end connected to alarm so when you pick it, alarm goes off.

I have this lock, the trick I found to counter lock picking is to leave it barely hanging off the disk in the most awkward position i can find so to be able to pick it, it has to be moved. Like for example leaving the keyhole very close the ground but a bit stuck on the disk so force has to be used to move it.

LPL u r awesome!!!!
