[1424] Lock Picking… An Inside Perspective

About lockpicking. I’m a massive noob. Ordered my kit, should arrive tomorrow. Do you push on each one until you feel it get into a position where it’s no longer bouncy? Like if it’s stiff push until it clicks and if it’s bouncy just leave it. Is this how it works? Someone better explain this to me please!

This sounds promising. I have lost the key to my Vespa-like scooter and would love to see if I accidently locked the key inside the carryall on the back. All the ID to prove I own it is in there for sure. Thanks.

Wow. Been watching your videos and just sitting back impressed and not having a clue what's actually going on for years. This is complete game changer. I bet people will learn SO much faster now just from being able to see this.

This was a great video on an unusual niche topic that is reaching a larger audience....

Dope

So i watch vids with captions on right? And it kinda messed up, and instead of "this is the lock picking lawyer" it said "this is the walk between lawyer"💀

Curious.. the binding order started out the same for SPS and Lishi: 2, 5, 6, and 3 at first .. but why did the Lishi then require going over pin 4, then 6 and 4 again when SPS did not? I expected that to go smoother if anything. Just the random nature of tolerances? Or the way the hook pick tends to rock, the arm sometimes raising untargeted pins a little?

How do you lockpick with paperclips?

This helps me understand what you're saying

I wonder if he has monetization off because there are never any ads... Truly a king

where did you get the cutaway cylinder you use here?

What is this lock called? Ive been looking for a cutaway just like this!!

These videos are gold.

How does this relate to the key number? If it binds or doesn't bind

We use ours to lock our Convertabench garden benches to nearby trees.

Could you do a video similar to this one going over the various types of security pins and how they work?

cool

Which lychee picks do you like the leashy guy or the knockoffs?

What about that teeth key with long teeth, that removes the pins off the barrel and open it?

What do you use as a platform/vise to hold the cylinder/lock?

This man is a wizard at most locks. Watching how is great.

I'm a lawyer and I picked my first real lock today! Thank you LPL!

t would have been nice if the shear was marked.

Seat post on guard initially

I now understand. Thank you so much sensei.

I misunderstood and under rated the wavy thing he uses back and forth.but this video opened my eyes

I never understand how this works on good locks. The entire principal is pushing pins until they get stuck above the spot they need to be to open. But as soon as you let go of the pin, the only thing holding it is the force of the turn. Wouldnt better machining withh tighter tolerances and a better pin design cause this to no longer work? Tighter tolerance to avoid the ledge click should prevent it and pins that have a second pin inside should prevent friction on the outside

Battery powered angle grinder works well to

I PICKED MY FIRST LOCK TODAY!
i feel so accomplished lol

Been waiting years to see that video. Thanks.

How exactly did the..leechee(?) tool get its name? 🤔

"You can see why it's such an effective tool."

Against really garbage locks. What's worse than red flag? Because when the wave rake comes out we're beyond standard levels of critical failure.

Outstanding vid! Thank you so much!

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Gameplay

Even in this view I don't get what binding and set actually means physically. How it actually happens. For example, what gets one of those pieces to click and become set? What's holding it?

Damn, Thief simulator with Ray tracing looks amazing!

thank you for this, i never understood what binding etc. exactly mean

Love this!

A Newby ..you forget which direction unlocks ..how do you work that out and hence how to tension the lock

I now wanna see what the other types of pins do and mean now too, like how do the security pins actually act as security?

This is super cool

Meanwhile, in video games: "lockpick breaks"

Why is there a groove for the pins to rest in? If the key pushes the pins to the correct height, couldn’t the manufacturer make a pick-proof lock by making the cylinder smooth for each pin?

Then every time someone tries to pick it, the tension pushes it back down

Maybe this is a stupid question, but how did the binding order change? When you single-pin picked, it looked like the order was 2-5-6-3, but by the end when you're using the Lishi tool, it looks as if the binding order had changed slightly, or that you had to re-set pins you had already set. What was happening there?

I have a lock that I can unlock with that last tool pretty reliably, but I can't get it to lock.
It seems the tension is too hard to get right, and the tension on the pins seems reversed as well (1 and 2 pins bind first when unlocking, but locking will bind the 5 pin first)

goood

I picked my first lock today!

Great video. Thx.

I want to get a lishi but which one would be the best for most door locks?
