I got curious after watching some of these videos and decided to see how hard it would be to pick, I have a set of picks but I've only ever tried on the clear, single core practice locks.

Masterlock's security level is based on their resistance to brute force attacks (and still too generous), not their pick resistance. It should not be assumed a high level masterlock is any more resistant to picking than a low level. Their most pick resistant lock is by far the plastic LOTO lock. They would put that core in every lock if they actually cared.

This is assuming they care. They don't, criminals don't pick locks generally. The type of crime that someone with real skills might be involved in is the type of crime that involves much higher security than these types of locks. Locks are for honest people. No lock is a match for either a highly skilled attack, or a brute force attack. Cheap cordless power tools make most locks pointless if somebody wants to get in. These companies don't change because they aren't in the business of high security, and they know their locks work fine for their target market. Their locks sell. That's what they care about. If their market share was seriously threatened, or a new generation of petty criminals suddenly came along with enough brains to understand how to pick their locks, then maybe they would change. But the reality is nobody with the skills of LPL is out there doing petty crime.

A lot of low end locks are very easy to open even the expensive door locks with just a rake it gets more challenging and skill needed with the high end locks but the problem with high end locks is they are really expensive and not used much or if they are used it is easy to attack the box or thing it is locking then the lock its self. But even the low end locks can challenge you i remember BosnianBill when he was on YT he had a cheap chines lock he could not open and BosnianBill is on same LV as LPL it would be good to see if LPL would have a go at BosnianBills box of locks he had trouble with.

You have just answered a question I was confronted with the other day. I ‘lost’ my hangar key the other week, so the maintenance guru showed me how he changes cores quickly.

That’s life. Keep doing what you’re doing! Very Cool!

Thanks! I didn't even think of using a rake on it!

If there was ever a person to take on an adventure with, your skills would make you the most valuable member of the group. You must have your lockpick trait maxed out.

When I was the designated lock changer, I carried the control key with me to swap cores. At times, I needed to open something but didn't have the correct key, so I just pulled the core with a screwdriver I was in. I had to ask the corporat secretary to assign me a "grand master" key to save me time. She didn't think I should have that level of access, so I demonstrated the control key. I got the GM key.

The idea of the Lockpicking Lawyer opening a lock due to a fluke it quite hilarious.

This mans hands and tactile sensory is a cheat code.

About 2 years ago, my daughter gave me a padlock, a BEST sfic, and she challenged me to get it opened. She knows I participate in lock sport and that I have a pretty decent set of picks (that are about 30 odd years old). I accepted her challenge and I did an initial rake through to count the pins. I then took out my tension tool, top of the keyway tension and my single pin pick and tried my first attempt. About 20 SECONDS into my first attempt, I have rotation (not counter rotation) and into my hand pops the core. A 1 in 1,000,000 pick job. About 2 months later, I took it over to a locksmith and had it re-keyed completely with a new change key ($65.00 worth)

Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!

Depends on the core. Its absolutely possible to buy cores that are rakeproof and pick resistant. Some of the higher security keyways won't even fit a rake easily without it snagging, and security pins will further limit its effectiveness. That said, the common ones like an A or D keyway are not those.

Picking one of these wasn't easy, but putting it back together was the real challenge.

I couldn't believe how easy it was to pick locks when I first tried it. Scared the crap out of many friends showing them how easily locks could be bypassed.

About 2 1/2 years ago, a friend of my daughter's brought me a BEST branded 6-pin SFIC padlock. She told him that I would participate in locksport. He gave it to me and said "help your self" and he wanted to know if/when I got it opened. I took out a small hook pick and top of the keyway tension and started th o single pin pick it. About 20-30 seconds later, the core turned and it popped out into my hand... $50 later, I have a working padlock that can be re-keyed..
