@MrHodoAstartes

Okay, so to tally the work your average thief needs to do to pick this lock: - identify the lock type and either try picking or see right away his picks won't work - research the mechanism and the kind of tool needed - build that tool (assuming they aren't being manufactured somewhere) - come back and spend a lot of time fiddling with that lock because the butterfly disks and new tool will cause him to fail a lot. The time to beat under optimal conditions and perfect understanding of the mechanism with full preparation, years of practice, special tools and zero pressure is three minutes of concentrated, uninterrupted work. A mook with a rake has no chance, a good picker with a set of tools goes nowhere unless he has the perfect tool by any chance and knows this specific lock well. For this to be picked you'd need an absolute lock fanatic and probably ten minutes or more of very obvious picking effort. Realistically, this pick will never be attempted. It will always be faster and easier to cut through what the lock hangs on, or even the shackle.

Man of words and really appreciate the friendship, honor, respect and integrity LPL has on Bosnian Bill! No words to express any more gratitude. Nothing but thank you so much LPL for such wonderful videos, advice and insights into the lock picking and the lessons on various methods, safety and security features of locks with unseen / unheard information that you provide on each and every bit of the materials, working mechanics, etc., etc., I could go on for a long time, but thanks again from India! I truly have learnt a lot from your videos (still learning) and trying to enhance my skills on a day to day basis in the magical world of lock picking with your videos! Thanks again! Wishing good health to everyone in this world! Let this world be a peaceful place! Let the almighty god or supreme power bless everyone with abundant health and wealth and security!!

Funny how you mention security when this whole channel is about picking locks.

Love to watch you work, LPL. ❣️ "A padlock I'd use". Coming from you, that's a real endorsement for ANY lock. 👍

"very unlikely to be pick in the field" Ah, crap, gonna be sold out everywhere. "this is certainly a lock I would consider using" Ah, crap, it's going to stay sold out for a while! I've got to say, as entertaining and educational as it is to watch you open so-called high security locks as if they were child-safety latches, these videos where you cover locks that turn out to be good have practical benefits that are hard to beat. Thank you, and keep doing the good work!

It's a $100 padlock. It's not going to sell in droves, regardless of how good it is. People are barely willing to spend $20 on a padlock.

The padlock is massive. I own one myself. For gym lockers and things like that, this lock won't do, this is a padlock that is designed for shipping containers and such. You come to a point where the lock is so insane, it's easier to just break whatever the lock is protecting. So if you are going to spend 100-200$ on a lock, you have to make sure that the material where you are attaching the lock, can't be broken in matter of seconds, or else it's just a waste. So this lock has limited use.

@@jasonriddell that's what the DISKUS locks are for. They're not disk detainer, but they *are* a heck of a lot better than a Master 141... if you wanna get really with it, a DISKUS 25/70 is a dimple key cylinder, no average raker is gonna get that... or if you're REALLY serious, an Abloy PL-321 with a Protec2 cylinder. Although given most gym lockers, a savvy attacker would just show up with a big set of vise grips and use the Abloy to wrench the hasp off the locker.... that's not gonna be nearly as simple with a DISKUS.

We have those Locks at work, securing hazard material containers wich are outside in the open. They are rated as weather resistant, but after a year or so, they get impossibly hard to open. greasing them once every 3-4 months is a must. Other than that, they are exceptionally tough, our Janitor once had to cut one of them open - his old angle grinder was not up to the task.

I am not longer on the coast but 90 miles / 150 km inland and have had mine for a few years and it opens smooth as can be. One of the reasons I like the lock. I pretty much just bought it for the build quality as others have noted the lock is generally overkill unless you are putting it on a pretty well guarded and hardened facility.

Hi from Germany! This explaines a lot! At first I thought someone just has slept thru new years and now celebrates it a week later now, because I heard fireworks and champaign popping noises. But then I saw this video.

I dont' know exactly what he is doing when he discovered 5 is a zero cut and then tensions off of it to open the lock, but I am blown away every time I see him do that. Love watching him work.

You should do a video for your highest recommendation locks for different categories (padlock, deadbolt, trailer lock, etc) and offer both the best most expensive option along with a budget “runner-up” alternative. Your wealth of knowledge would have me buying a lot of locks in very short order!

What's the difference? He can pick the lock. If the lock was positoned in an inconvenient position or angle, maybe it would take him 5 or 10 minutes instead of 1 or 3 minutes to set himself up and get the thing open.

You know when he spends more than 3 minutes picking a lock, it's proper quality.

I've had one of these for about 2 years, I got it for one of my dad's gates that we never use. He didn't like having another key so he just used a masterlock. Couple days ago I decided to buy an abus 130/180 shackle and use it on my shed lol. A bit overkill, but at least the lock won't be the weak point

If it takes LPL this long, I'd imagine an average picker even with the right tools would have given up and looked for another security flaw, like in the chain or hasp it's locked to

This is a fantastic lock, took this guy some time and he had a specialty tool, skill with this style of lock, optimal holding angle under optimal lighting, was indoors and probably seated and calm. Rather than say trying to bust open a trailer at a truck stop with constant traffic some of which is probably state police, at night in possibly less than optimal weather and a truck trailer is certainly not at optimal working height for picking.

I really want to see Abus put the quote "This is a lock that I'd consider using" onto their site. For people that don't follow it would be like they weren't trying to sell anything, but for people following LPL it'd be one of the highest endorsements.

It's so nice to see a lock that you would recommend👍

We sold Abus locks at Sears in the 90s and I had a couple of their padlocks. Solidly built and worked great. Sadly they've disappeared, probably during a move. I still have some old American padlocks from before they became part of Master but if I need new locks I'm glad Abus are still good ones.
