Lockpicker and locksmith here, and I've been picking locks for well over a decade now. I like the design! Just for fun I'd definitely recommend looking up some of the mechanisms in locks from Medeco with their rotating pin design, and Mul-T-Pick for the pin-in-pin design. They're not pickproof by any means. In fact, I find them to be some of the most enjoyable locks to pick. For another "pickproof" idea, you could look into Kwikset Smartkey design (or known by some in the business as "shartkey" partly due to how they tend to fail after years of wear). They can be picked, but if you look into the way they're picked I imagine you could find a way to protect against that type of attack. And sure, others might also bring up Bowley, but whatever

Amateur lockpicker and not-at-all in the area. When he started to explain his design, it looked like a bit of an overengineered version of a security pin (somewhere between a spool or a mushroom), since the tension would still end up pressing against the pin, and the physics still match. I would love to know if I'm wrong and why, if you have the time to explain

@iantaakalla8180

I don’t think you are wrong. It is, for all intents and purposes, basically like a normal pin. It requires tension, it requires the raising of something, and it relies on the subtle imperfections of making anything. It is mechanically equivalent to a pin. In fact, it makes it more obvious; the difference is where that tension is felt.

If you don’t hear back from LPL I’d be interested in picking this. I’ve picked the Enclave that was featured on Lock Noob’s channel which was also designed to be an unpickable lock. This is a really neat design and your video production is great. Well done and looking forward to see what you do next.

One point to consider: The geometry of the "trap" teeth is still triangular. So there is a slope. If the lock is tensioned slightly (so it falls into the trap), when the pin is pushed upwards as well, it would, via the rocker arms, slightly pull on the slopes. This tension would counteract the lock tension, potentially rotating it back. Even worse, if you add just a tiny bit of tension to the lock, pushing each pin up until the lock rotates back, this would allow the attacker to decode the correct height for each pin. One method to prevent this would be making the slope steeper, up to 90°, to prevent any rocker motion from turning the lock.

@0LoneTech

Жыл бұрын

I think the tipping point isn't 90 degrees but an arc coaxial with the core. That contact surface wouldn't apply torque. Problem is, the tooth needs to have thickness, which leads us back to the problem with too many teeth. I wonder if it would help to introduce assymetry such that you couldn't tension all the sliders with one rotation. Ideally you want to find a shape such that a pin would provide no feedback unless other pins were in place, but would be in a non-counterrotating trap when you do pick the others.

Others have already commented better than I can how to defeat this version, and I saw your comment that you were still working on it. One of the big problems with making good locks is that the manufacturing cost usually means cheap, low-quality locks dominate the market and a big part of that is the tight tolerances needed to keep tools out of them. Your design seems like a good way to get around that and make a lock that can be secured with less tight of tolerances, which might mean the cheaply made versions end up being reasonably secure.

That is some amazing design work. Sure hope to see LPL take this on in the future.

I like that new opening method for masterlocks you showed off at the start.

based on my limited knowledge of lock picking, it still seems pickable as long as you know how the lock works. It still seems you can still tension and solve those side levers/traps. You can see that it's possible to tension the "trap" at 4:45. You say that the pin can't move while under tension but there's nothing physically stopping it from moving and applying tension to the side levers and subsequently the "traps". It seems like it would just act the same way as combination serrated-spool pins do. You just keep picking each pin in the order that it binds until each pin stops clicking to get those side levers past the "traps". Those traps act as false sets and it seems, from my understanding, that you would just need to get past the false set for each and every one of those side levers. Don't get me wrong though, this is still going to take a decent amount of time to pick because you're going to have to pick through a crap ton of false sets, but it still seems doable. what you CAN do to make this SIGNIFICANTLY harder (but still not impossible) to pick is to combine this design with combination serrated-spool pins. Don't quite know how the math would work but you'd exponentially increase the amount of false set possibilities by doing that. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though. I'd love to see Lockpickinglawyer tackle this one.

And I think removing the false sets as shown at 11:12 will make it even easier to kind of decode the lock. Tension the core, move a pin as far as it goes, you will get a counter rotation. Now just give a little tension on the core and let it counter rotate with the pressure on the pin and at some point the lock will be past the tooth of the side thing and will be able to rotate to the point whre the core interacts with another side lever. If you do that with a Lishi Tool you now know the height of that pin. Do this for all pins and you can just create a key that matches what you have decoded. And I don't see how that would stop key impressioning, which would also be an option to "pick" the lock.

Can you explain a bit more how that works? So to move the first pin you'd need to move it up without tension so the side-lever doesn't block the pin from moving up, then apply tension and move the pin into position. But at that point you would need to let go of the tension to do that with the second pin and if you do that the first pin falls down again, no? What am I missing? I know very little about lockpicking!

It's certainly interesting to see different takes on how to accomplish this.

SELL IT!!! million dollar concept executed really well.

That is definitely not the problem that I thought you would have. When you gave the clue that you were missing something I thought for sure that it was that the pin would drop down into the anti-pick notch when trying to open it (with or without a key) and trap the core.

Luckily those pins and the sliding arms are on different layers, I almost did have that issue though haha

This is like watching a Hacksmith video, but for practical uses. Nice.

Huge compliment! thank you!

dude just popped out of nowhere and created what stuff made here couldnt. awesome content!

I was so excited during the video thinking about all the possibilities I've seen on LPL channel. Now I'm excited to see him trying to decode this. Amazing work, dude! The video editing, the step-by-step, everything was so nice to watch. Major props!

i love seeing and hearing "pickproof" and "un-pickable lock" it just means theres gunna be a reaaly really good lock picking lawyer and BosnianBill video coming out soon.

Wait what. How does this channel not have 1mil subscribers? This is phenomenal content!! The idea + editing & animations + ultra sooth voice 😌. I'm hooked. Looking forward to the inevitable LPL video (would also love to see @stuffmadehere chime in with his thoughts of your lock)

I came here for this comment. LPL worked with @stuffmadehere and would no doubt enjoy giving this lock a try. Interesting design. Well done video. With 4.23m subscribers you'll get a boatload of feedback, the best of which will come from LPL himself. Good luck to you. Edit: New subscriber now.

I really hop LPL gets ahold of this lock

Holy cow not only is the design brilliant (and LPL really needs to see this!) as a first video the quality is amazing! Can't wait to see more from you! Subscribed~

Instant like for those pen and paper drawings. They were amazing.

I had to slow the video down at the part where he sketches the idea - just to grasp the concept. It worked, i now understand the little pins and how to use them in the design to prevent lock picking. You are so organized- and although my brain understands the organization, i am not an organized person in any way. Thank God youtube allows me to slow down and rewind at will!

11:18 the teeth are not properly designed because pushing the pin will create a counter rotation like with a spool pin. The angle of contact between the gray and purple parts should be opposite. This way, when you push the pin it even tried to turn more (a tiny bit) and then it's stuck.

4 days later and at nearly 6k, safe to say it's taking off now!

I feel like that final step of involving the "teeth" makes the whole lock basically act like a spool pin. A bunch of counter rotation will be required, but I think it's still pretty pickable.

great video but 9:11 OH MY GOD THATS THE BEST THING EVER HOLY WOLY MOLY LIKE MY GUY IM SALIVATING RIGHT NOW

Great vid! I'd love to see how LPL cracks this too!

I have never seen something so lovingly constructed and edited together, the camera angles, the lighting, how many weeks did this whole project take to produce?

@@worksbydesign Well it was worth it. This is S-Tier content. A couple thousand people already said it but keep it up.

I watched a video with a similar premise by stuff made here, but you are taking an all new approach that is genius for lack of a better term.

This is a cool design, and definitely would make picking very difficult. I'm a lockpicker myself. A couple concerns I would have are still around that tooth on the side. It seems a bit fragile, so I'm not sure it'll stand up reliably to wear-and-tear over time (any serious lock needs to function for 10s of years). If I were to attempt to pick this and was aware of the mechanism, I think the weakness might either be with trying to find a sweet spot with mild tensioning where you can maybe exploit the gap between the edge of the side rail and the pin shear line. Outside of that, you would want to make sure you have a tight plug, otherwise an attacker might be able to put a very thin shim between the core and the bible and slowly pick each pin, then shove the shim in further to lock it into place (this is an old attack, but home-made locks may suffer from it if the designer doesn't know). Really good work on trying to prevent a decoding attack, that was my other thought. If an attacker can successfully decode the lock, even if it is one pin at a time, it doesn't matter if they jam the lock, they can build a key after.

Before sending to the LPL, have you tried the obvious and less obvious bypass mechanisms? E.g. is the lock shielded from a bypass driver directly manipulating the core? This thing looks awesome and surprisingly simple in manufacturing so I'd love to see if it's viable.

As far as shielding, the back of the lock has a cover, and a secondary 'step' or bump - meaning a shim would have to turn 90 degrees to get to get between the door and the lock. But I'm sure there's another bypass that I hadn't thought of, or maybe 90 degrees doesn't really matter to an experienced picker.

One suggestion for the core that you split into four parts to make machinable, I would make one half of the cylinder slightly shorter and the other have a full face that covers the shorter half so that you don’t see the split in the middle once fully assembled. Time 11:48 for reference.

Nice tip, I’ll be sure to think of this in future designs

Normally, people designing hard to pick locks try to prevent access to the pins, but his tries to prevent turning and that's kind of a novelty! Imagine you would now join forces with Stuff Made Here and make a hard-to-access-hard-to-turn lock: that would be insane.

Epic Project! Ever sense I watched Stuff Made Here make his lock. I have been wanting to watch more lock designing videos. This video scratched that itch perfectly, Great Work!

i'd like to add to the praise you are deservedly receiving in the comments. you made it look easy, but it's also easy to tell you put a lot of effort into the project. on top of that, you recorded every step of the process and formed a cohesive video. hope you keep up the good work, do take care not to burn out as high quality videos like these are rare and precious indeed.

production quality here is next level. didn't expect this to be the first video on this channel , can't wait for more

Good job! Can’t wait for the LockPockingLawyer to try this!

Three videos and all of them are over a million? Well done

I absolutely love your work, you deserve so many more subscribers, I was just thinking about Stuff made here's "unpickable lock" and how I'd like to see a part two and then this came up in my feed!

when I saw this video, I would have never considered it to be your first one, the quality is amazing, and in less than a week, you are already up to almost 4.5k subscribers, I definetly hope to see what you come up with next, just remember not to be too focused on making each video perfect, or it will never be released

this is a really cool design, as it's a hybrid between modern tumbler locks and traditional lever locks

Dude how do you not have more subscribers? You do smart person shit AND you're funny, that's like KZread gold

Amazing how such a simple channel as LPL has become a legend. Love your lock, looks great.

I‘m really happy that the KZread algorithm suggested this video. The quality of this content is outstanding and deserved an instant subscription. Looking forward to seeing your lock being analyzed by LPL!

Wow man, that's really great approach to making unpickable lock! Instead of trying to inovate something new and too complicated, you just focused on fondumental problem of regular locks and improved upon it.. and in result you got remarkable lock!

Such a fascinatingly simple design

I am happy I saw this before it gets taken down, so that patents can be made on it, when @lockpickinglawyer deems it to be a significant upgrade from modern locks!!! Killer job man!!

you've earned my subscription already. You have one video so far, and just like a certain person who makes stuff in a nearby location, i hope you can grow your channel and keep pumping out amazing content. I can't wait to see what you work on next.

Really glad to have found this channel! I sense it's going to become huge for you, so well done!

This design looks very promising! I think a special tool would be needed to pick this with just tension, like a pick that can remember/store the exact length of a given pin during a pick. I'd guess the process would look like this: * Tension lock until teeth hit their wall. * Find the pin with the least give (this means the tooth is closest to the lip) * Slowly release tension while applying pressure to this pin (this will make the tooth slide up the lip) * When you get a click, use this special tool to store the length used for that pin. * Repeat the process for each pin in order, with the tool holding each pin that's found while searching for the next one. The second tooth is like a false set, so that would make it a bigger pain to pick, but not impossible. I don't know if reversing the angle of the teeth and lock body would make it easier or harder, but I imagine harder. The picker would need to release tension and slowly lower the pin and then guess(?) that the tooth can now be pushed out? If all the teeth are the exact same length, then a good enough picker would be able to observe the length needed to release to make it around, but if the teeth were different lengths for each pin, that might make it pretty darn impossible. But then the lock body would also need different width openings for each pin, or else a picker would be able to know that they just need to release to the longest tooth range to guarantee it can get out.

Woah I thought this was a big channel, the quality and video effort is fantastic. Hopefully your interactions with the big names on this side of youtube will get you a ton of the attention you deserve.

This is really really clever. I can’t wait to see what lockpickinglawyer has to say about it!

This is impressive. SMH’s project was awesome but something about this design that’s incredibly elegant being made from 2D parts. Very good design that appears could be manufactured pretty reasonably. Curious to see LPL’s response. Been waiting for SMH to redesign for him.

9:11 bro really just said: *insert Lego building sounds.*

Looks great. What prevents it from being vulnerable to an overlift attack? It seems you could comb lift all pins, rotate it a bit, then let all the driver "pins" drop back down on the plug due to the wide size of the top of the drivers.

The "serrated arm" has two sides, so if the pins were to be over lifted, the opposite side of teeth will move into the core and it wont be able to be rotated/tensioned... hopefully.
