Very cool experiment. Burn Notice was a great, one of a kind show. You may find you have better luck with it if you spray it directly into the lock. I believe it is the locking mechanism that needs to freeze, but I’m no expert. :)

You dont even need canned air for those locks just hit them with downward force by the shackle

Masterlock maybe tough under fire but they are not tough under a paper clip picking / raking attack. Check out Jack's video at Black Scout Survival.

Any Chinese lock . I like the metal inside windshield wipers and the pcs the the street sweeper leaves behind. I have legit tools but i like making them it's satisfying. Im damn good 2 .

Burn Notice was one of my favorite shows.

Wow! Totally surprised by that! Great job testing that out!

Hadn't seen many that cam survive a good set of bolt cutters, and master locks are easily picked with a little knowledge.

Home Depot bolt cutters work every time in under 1 minute.

I learned a trick from my PE coach in high school that works with most regular hackle locks, The last day of school he used a horseshoe peg and a 2lb hammer, he put the peg into the hackle and while prying on the lock he whacked the lock with the hammer and he very rarely had to hit them a second time

TV shows often show the wrong way to do something, so people won’t go out and do it. I was thinking it might work a little better spraying in the keyhole where the pins are. Nice demo.

Its fun occasionally to try tv show things, you never know what will happen. Along same lines, but on a more serious note, I'd love to see how well some locks hold up to prying with spike on breaching axe/tomahawk. I've seen marketing videos but not unbiased videos of if you can actually break locks. Be well this holiday season, Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.

Where is the control lock ? You need to hit a lock with a hammer first without freezing it. Hitting it with a hammer alone could break the lock.

I can pick a brinks by looking at it the right way. Those disc padlocks are actually really hard to pick as the shckle is under quite a bit of spring tension

Still cool that it is possible with some locks.

I have the round master style lock.It gets water in it and freezes up tight in the Winter.I have to take a lighter and thaw it out occasionally.This cycle gets repeated every year it seems but still has not broke.The lock is well over 5 yrs old.

That tree definitely is not happy at all

I've picked way too many masterlocks with raking. They really are garbage, but are great as a visual deterrent. Realistically I use a Masterlock for my yard's carpark gate. I use the driveway anyways, and it's just to keep it closed. Works well enough with the elements and keeps the gate shut. However I wouldn't dare use that on something I cared about and needed to know was secure. They're cheap for a reason.

Would that work if you did the same thing without the can air?

Burn Notice the lead character was Michael who was a former CIA agent. Absolutely cool show. ☺️

A'ha, I knew you were really a super spy. No way you are a plumber.

Canned air is good for killing carpenter bees too.

Bryan, instead of canned air, just carry a small sledgehammer and a flat pry bar..lol

Burn Notice was exactly the place I saw that.

This was great. Yes if you get metal cold enough, it will be brittle enough to shatter like glass.

I would say most consumer grade padlocks are not hard to defeat when it comes to non-destructive defeats (picking). I'm a newbie lock picker with "all thumbs" and I haven't yet encountered a padlock that even I can't pick or bypass (talking about the average "master" type padlocks you can get from your local hardware or wally-world). There are some really good padlocks out there, but they can be pricey. I haven't had the need to bang one apart with a hammer in a long time, but the last time I did, they were pretty easy to do if you hit it just right -- aim for the top edge of the lock body where the hasp enters and hit it straight down. It never took a super hard hit if you got the aim-point square on. I've never tried a puck-lock though... That one has me curious.

This trick would come in handy to chill a beverage on a hot day.

Onto! Normal padlock I can open with a screw driver and hammer, the lock will still work afterwards

Survival myth busters!

All standard padlocks share the same flaw the shank cant with stand a twisting pressure take a 12 inch crescent wrench and place on lock body sideways twist the lock it will snap off instantly ive never seen a standard padlock that can take that kind of pressure bigger the wrench easier it snaps

Most "canned air" for cleaning is 134a FYI

@Survival on Purpose A Bernzomatic torch and small bolt cutter.

I don't think freezing causes the lock to break . Where I work we routinely submerge steel and brass parts in liquid nitrogen for assembly , we have never broken a bushing or pin .

The idea was that freezing the metal would make it more brittle so the hammer could break it.

Agree below. Master Lock crap. Good hammer hit will open warm .great fun though.

Looks like a fun day

Those round locks might withstand the cold but they will definitely not withstand a blow torch

Thanks Brian now the world is gonna get warmer!!! Hahaha

420HC, decent steel. You can put an edge on it but doesn’t hold an edge long. It’s not a working steel so no hard use without damage.

You’re a plumber. Just use a pipe wrench around the lock body and twist. You’ll either snap the shackle, or you’ll snap the hasp off the door. No canned refrigerant required.

@@SurvivalOnPurpose True. But you mentioned that it might be worth carrying a can of air. That would imply that you have reason to believe you might need to bypass a lock. Much better, more reliable ways of doing that. No picking skills required, and a pipe wrench is much easier to explain than cans of R-22 or a Sparrows pick set. I enjoy lock sport myself, but I have no illusions about the quickest way around a lock during a survival situation. BTW both Lock Picking Lawyer and BosnianBill have several videos like this if you are really interested in the viability of this. Take care, brother. Have a good Christmas.

Thats cute, 30 seconds or less and i'm through the shank lock with a grinder and cut off wheel. 30-45 seconds and i'm through your disk lock with a drill and a good bit. The Compressed Air is cool for "spy tricks" which i doubt ever happened in the field, the air is going to take longer and in the long run is louder. yes the grinder is loud but you can conceal the sparks and it doesn't take as long. Time Management.........

Bryan, try going the other way, heat. Lockpicking Lawyer showed us that some big beefy Master locks have pot metal guts which can be melted with an ordinary propane torch. BTW I’ve had occasion to empty large 300 psi air tanks at work, and they will form ice, but I never thought they’d get cold enough to embrittle the metal. This is really interesting. Blowing off a CO2 extinguisher enough to get flakes of dry ice should get you to -109F. But I’d want liquid nitrogen to really pull off this trick. 40+ years ago, the tools in my pickup included a cutting torch and 62’ of hose. THAT will open locks! 😁

A lot of the tricks on that show are actually true.

You clearly have never watched the Lockpicking Lawyer channel. Master Locks can be opened by just shaking them hard or using a paper clip - seriously. Hitting it with a hammer was like the proverbial hitting a fly with a hammer.

@@SurvivalOnPurpose Masterlock's laminated lock bodies are structurally sound. But the lock cores are just not that hard to pick. I'm a rank amateur at lockpicking & I stand a pretty good chance at picking a Master lock. Truthfully, you might be better 9ff carrying a couple of open end wrenches instead of canned air and a hammer.

Well at least we know that the Master Locks held up and the Brinks didn't. Kind of says that the harder steel of the Brinks is more brittle. At least when frozen.

Comment

Dude you are kidding yourself. Master locks are trash. The core is made from nickel and zinc. You can melt the core and pour it out like water with $10 propane torch. Get some “high security” padlocks. But those disc locks are trash.

It's not refrigerant. Any gas releases cold when it decompresses. Compressing air makes it hot- an exothermic reaction. When you decompress it, it gets cold. An endothermic reaction. Refrigerant is also just a gas, but has greater potential for endothermic reaction upon expansion. 🤓
