I am unfamiliar with this and most locking systems, but it seems the easiest and most elegant solution is to either narrow the opening to limit what type of pliers could reach inside, or to counter-sink the bolt so that you can’t get a standard set of needlenose pliers inside and around the bolt. If the “key holes” in the wrench/key and bolt were also oddly shaped, this would make the job that much more challenging.

Another good advantage with this lock is that it can easily be sealed in a way that makes it practically impossible to destroy the seal without opening the lock, showing bad intent. That by using 2 sticker-based seals on the bolt carrier, where the bolt pin would exit. Since the bolt carrier has 2 shallow holes corresponding to pins in lock body, that prevents lock body from rotating relative to the bolt carrier, the seals cannot be destroyed by someone by mistake, you actually have to open the lock to destroy the seals, showing you had a intent to access the area.

To extract locking lug nuts on cars where the specially matched sockets are missing I find a 12 point socket that is just a hair smaller than the outside diameter and then use a hammer to pound it over the outside. The 12 point socket will cut teeth into the outside edge of the lug nut and grip it plenty tight so a ratchet can be used in the socket to loosen it. The hardest part is getting the lug nut out of the socket. I think this method would work on this lock too but it is pretty ingenious to give the bolt left hand threads. That alone could foil a potential intruder.

You would certainly need to know a lot about this device in order to pick it. A fascinating product that showcases how lockpicking and bypassing security works by understanding how that security itself functions.

add a roller bearing cage around the bolt. you would still be able to grab onto the bolt like he did, but your rotational force wouldnt be transmitted to the threads. since its the unique dimple pattern that allows the key to drive the bolt i feel like this simple modification would significantly raise the security level of this lock

Then you just mash a lump of JBweld or whatever 2 part paste epoxy into the recesses and stick an allen key in the back wait a couple of mins and turn it free. At best this works because it needs a weird shaped socket and as long as the unlocking mechanism is just a standard thread there are plenty of ways to apply toque to it hell drill into the middle and jam a tapper in and use that as a wrench. It'll stop most people and all but eliminate causal one off attacks because its unlikely people will have the tools on hand but if they know you use this particular lock it's not an insurmountable barrier because at the end of the day its a weird shaped bolt.

I did roadside assistance for a few years, a really common call out we'd get was for drivers with a punctured tyre and didn't have/couldn't find their locking wheelnut key so we'd have to improvise to get the wheel off. Almost all the methods, regardless of type, centred around taking a £1 shop socket that didn't quite fit over the nut/bolt, resting it roughly in place, then using a lump hammer to beat the socket like it's a red-haired stepchild until it does fit the nut. From that experience I can tell you those slip bearings they put round the nuts don't make it any harder to get them off - it might take a minute or two longer, but it's not any more difficult. If you have the right sized socket to hand - something in the 16mm-19mm range - you can sometimes bevel the edges with a file and smack it straight through the bearing race to grip the stud inside. Or you can take the 5mm flat-blade screwdrivers you picked up in the £1 shop while you were stocking up on sockets and smack the tip of one or more in to the bearing race - it'll either cause the outer ring to tear meaning you can just pull it out of the way, or at the very least it'll deform either the ring or race to the point that it can't rotate, then apply torque to the screwdrivers to crack the stud out. You could even take a syringe with a 15 gauge needle and inject some araldite in to the race to lock it in place - although you have to work _really_ fast and if you're not careful you could either bond the treads or bond the fastener to the wheel - at which point your only option is to drag it back to depot and chop or burn the wheel off.

there is a quick improvement on that lock, back home we had it this way: 1) key shaft needs to be thinner than actual key tip, 1) instead of direct key insert it needs to have a side cut to slide through, hole on the side is matching size of key tip, and then it has just thin cut to allow rest of the shaft to fit, and top/center keyhole is same diameter as key shaft, that way, you cant get any generic of the shelf tool in there, unless custom made,

You could stack a few. If the key had a hard enough press it would slip into the next when aligned if they were offset.

Something being secure against an untrained individual is okay and even adequate in certain scenarios, but it means nothing at the end of the day if someone who knows what they're attacking can just walk right in, because there's an easy exploit to be had, even if the average person wouldn't have even tried to enter in the first place.

Whether fingerprints or retinal scans should be considered Knowledge or Posession factors is up for debate.. although given how easily they're recreated/spoofed I'd personally be inclined to call them Knowledge factors as well.

Well technicaly, if you can not use a pick to open it, it's unpickable. They never said it could not be open with pliers :P lol.

"Unpickable" no mechanism to pick! I think just the magnetic plunger is the major security part. If you cant even see how it opens, you cant even get started. But since magnets are used for bypassing locks, guess its possible someone tries without even knowing the lock beforehand. Reversed bolt extractors are a thing, mostly just need to have your local shop order one from the distributor. But there are a lot of ways to go about that, from pliers to rods jammed into the holes, to possibly a screw extractor which you've a chance getting in reverse if you have a whole set.

Nice work.

I would probably not guess that its left hand threaded and waste my time breaking off sticks trying to turn it counterclockewise

Though I have come to expect LPL to get into anything, I must admit STARTING with a magnet and then transitioning into a lefthand bolt is quite devilish. It being bulletproof is also amazing. This lock has impressed me.

As a maintenance worker the impromptu sandpaper wrench on wrench brought a tear to my eye.

He’s literally picking every lock that looks like the “stuff made here” lock. He’s teasing us!! 😂

I wonder how much is tease and how much is him studying non-traditional picking methods

Technically, he didn't pick it.

I will reply in two ways. Logic: 1. Technically it’s not a lock. Homonym 2. Umm... yes he did. He picked two different players to use. Then he picked the easiest ways

My uncle ws proud of a certain lock he had for his window. Basically it's the kind with a handle you need to pull all thew ay in and tilt it up to be able to open the window fully so you could get in.. A piece of sewing string and 15 seconds later, I, as a child would have it open.

when i was sick in bed for a week all i did was watch all his videos LOL really great stuff

I remember when the guy who designed this lock was waiting for a patent on it. Talked with him for a while and I couldn’t get the lock open without the key. I promise you if you don’t what this is you won’t open it 😂 but super awesome to see it opened so easily.
