We appreciate the comments made by LPL and always take them on board, we will investigate them thoroughly.

He picks these kind of locks faster than I can enter the combination...

I like the not so subtle “hey, stop making garbage yah nib nobs!”

Squire just got the most polite but potent threat in the world

Sad now everyone is gonna steal the tic-tacs I keep in this

A squire is a knight's small companion, so it only makes sense that a lock bearing its name should be opened by a small covert companion.

I love how he's always quick and to the point. No long drawn out explanations.

I like that he usually has something good to say about the company, even though a certain product line falls short. And through these videos, we learn why. That's all I have for you today.

How many hours of life have I spent watching LPL scrambling the combination? 😂

It's pronounced "Norr-itch“ short O sound and silent W :) (Norwich)

When the pick is so quick you get here and people have already seen the video and given their opinion before you can watch it all

Many times you can just pull the open switch and feel the combo as you turn the wheels.

Please open a museum and for each lock include a qr code for the video and how long LPL took to pick, along with all the other info and history!

Hey LPL, have you ever thought about making your own lock company? Your KZfaq channel is the best marketing anyone could ask for.

"Yes, 1171, those were the good ol' days. Steel lock bodies, five wheels...and today's youngster locks ain't learned a thing!"

LPL made a mistake guessing the second number, the lock detected that at 2:12 and automatically opened as no one knows what happens when LPL fails his first attempt to open a lock.

I used to open bike locks at school back in the 80's like that just without the tool. Unbelievable they still haven't really made them any different.

WOW! 2:58 a very long video! I absolutely love these informative no bs videos and as always have a nice day.

I’m shopping for a key safe today. You just prevented me from making a mistake, LPL. Thank you!

Would be awesome to see you enter the Guinness book of records with most picked unique locks within a certain time-length:)

"sterling reputation" yeah, we caught that

Having just purchased the Covert Companion, I really appreciate seeing you use it in your videos. Very educational. Thanks for the great tools & content!

I followed this guide but using a cheaper un-notched decoder. It did not work. However, I suspected that the notch is supposed to lift the bar up. So, I tried subtracting 1 off each digit. No luck. Then another 1, and hey presto! It opened. Thanks for the guidance - it got me there.

I love the way that LPL pronounces Norwich, "Nōr" "Witch" it's pronounced, 2 syllables "NORR" + "itch" and the "NORR" is best said in a pirates voice! 👍🇬🇧😂🤣😂

LPL has the energy of “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed” at the end :)

My local social housing association are still fitting these! I had one put on my house by them about a month or two back. I alerted their maintenance department to this video yesterday (Wednesday May 31st 2023) showing how easy they are to pick, and the lack of security these keysafes provide, and they're passing my comments onto their trade supervisor. Hopefully they'll choose something more secure to install!

Waiting for this year's April fool's video. Bar's pretty high

Nice touch that LPL referred to Squier's 'Sterling' reputation ... very apt !

Thank you so much for your videos it has made my job so much easier. Now it takes less than 1 minute to get in and empty people's houses

Damn, not only opened but also decoded

Thanks a lot for all the videos I've seen, and those to come! Just saw the ice cream stuff... Congratulations to Ms Pickinglawyer, she's definitly best picker than we beleived. From France, Merci

The day when LPL only gives the wheels a regular scramble instead of a good scramble is the day I unsubscribe. Today was not that day

Funny how the lock sets the right combination itself at 2:12.

Hearing LPL say “NOR-witch” dealt psychic damage to me. For future reference, the o is pronounced like the word “on” and the W is silent. Norwich - “NO-ritch”

Awesome video, I love the speech at the end!😸

April fools day is coming up, show us how to pick the ignition of a HMMWV 🤣

Basicly: "hey squire, stop making garbge or i will stop using prober tools and you get the paper clip treatment..."

The Squire board meeting. Marketing man: Let's sell cheap Chinese locks and trash our 300 year reputation. The Board: What could possibly go wrong? Engineer: er.....

Even easier way we had some turd break into ours. Smacked the top with a hammer pry or screwdriver in the gap around the door. Springs that hold the latch are not strong enough to hold latch in place! Lesson learned the hard way!

When are you going to pick the unpickable lock?

He has just "Diss"ed a lock sent from Norwich in March. (East Anglia location name joke..was trying to see if I could get any others into that but struggled..feels like InGatestone would work in some relevant sentence but I couldn't crowbar that one in.)

Love that it's always straight to the point no waffling 👍👍👍👍😃

Thanks so much for making these videos! They are amazingly informative and made me want to learn lockpicking. Thanks again

11 days to a april's fools day

This guys mission is to pick every lock that has been invinted

LPL can record 2 hours of videos, set a timer to upload 1 each day and all he has to do is kick back and collect yt dollars for 2 months.

holly crap 20 seconds to open. Mommy I'm scared now...it wil take me longer to open up a bag of chips.

A very kind way to deliver harsh criticism. I bet it'll make someone at Squire sit up and take notice.

This guy keeps breaking into my house

I like how the lock set itself to the right combination at the end (it was off by 1 at first). It alreay knew it had no chance against LPL so why even bother...

Its absurd how many businesses are willing to sell out their reputations. I've seen it in almost every industry I can think of. A well earnt reputation decades to centuries in the making destroyed by selling the rights to their name on total trash. Often there is a temporary bump in share price before it collapses, and often this ties in with a group of key execs retiring and selling their interest in the company. Of course regularly this is not the case, and for whatever reason a good company with a future decides to suicide its reputation with seemingly little logic behind it. If Squire intends to keep their reputation, they would do well to sell such trash under a different brand name (or preferably not sell it at all).

I like that you use your own tools/picks that you sell. So of the other locksporters use other made tools other than their own.

Where is your collab with stuff made here? I can't wait for you to try his lock design!

Hey, question. What do you do with all the locks you review? Do you keep a huge collection somewhere?

You know what’s nice, his nails. No one comments on his nails. I still bite my nails

I'm subscribed with the notification Bell on and I love your awesome channel lock picking lawyer keep up the great work 👍

I've seen so many LPL videos that I knew how he was going to open the lock just by looking at it

KZfaq notified me of this two days after its posted

Fun fact: If you order anything from Covert Instruments, you'll find that the return address for the package you receive will have a return address for a PO box in Spotsylvania, Virginia, USA. This is because LPL lives in a courthouse; in fact, it's the same courthouse where he was born.

This is going to sound really random but thank you for taking a deep breath in at the start of every video. I jus came from a Zoom uni class where the prof's mic was really quiet, and I forgot I had my sound turned up to 50%. That deep breath being so loud gave me a split second to lower my volume so I didn't go deaf. Just to emphasize the difference, lowering my volume to 2% is loud enough to hear you clearly.

I want to see you rip on a Squire lock from the 1700s. What would that be, a chastity belt?! 😁

This is a rebrand or made under licence copy of a Master Lock key safe, the body, door & mechanism is identical to the Master Lock product which is sold through many retail outlets including a well known company named “ScrewFix Direct”

Squire, fetcheth me most secure lock

You just HAVE to show off that covert companion, huh! FINE I'll buy one JEEZ

That was a "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed" voice

Anton now knows how to get at his neighbours keys!

Amazing how he remembers the video numbers

this guy is so consistent

Its funny as my Reliant Robin has car door locks made by Squire and surprisingly my ones are difficult to pick but comparable era Squires could be opened with a spam key or broken off bit of windscreen wiper. I had the local lock chappy overhaul the locks (J Reynolds of Gillingham did a smashing job) and even done me a set of new not worn keys, sadly the boot is a Rover Metro key and the ignition the easily broken off Lucas ignition set but at least I know spam key or wiper bit toting ne'er do wells won't be making off with me Reliant :D In the eighties, it was common for people having missed the last train would find an old Mini or Ford Escort, nip off the windscreen wiper for the necessary bit and jiggle their way to a free ride home leaving the ahem "joyridden" vehicle in an easy to find place once wiping off any fingerprints.

Still waiting for mine to come in the mail. Thing is your store is nearly 80% sold out for every product listed there. I have enabled the email notifications.

Nothing quite like some LPL to go with my coffee in the morning.

To think many people are happy to use these as an external key safe for their front door key! Wonder what most insurance companies' views are on such use of these "safes"?

20 seconds just to open this. 5 seconds longer then I expected for LPL.

The good thing about this is that LPL can open all his lock collection without remembering the code

Jeesh! How difficult it is to make that bar run inside a tube or something. It seems like all these type of locks are susceptible to the same attack that would be easily prevented.

"A reputation can be very fragile, as I have just demonstrated"

Sir please open this lock and show us what's inside it? Want to see how it's work from inside.

LPL you should consider testing the Litelok Core motorcycle lock! As I understand, it is a brand new motorcycle lock from the company and is being heavily promoted through sites all over the world. That certainly takes investigation!

I opened it by just putting it up to my ear and listening for clicks and feel as well, they tend to be a little lose when it hits the right number as well

Maybe it is time to up the ante! Can LPL also decode this if it is facing away from him. At least the videos will probably be a bit longer than the blink of an eye..

From "Snap On" tools to so many other companies who have licenced their name and their associated reputation for quality (design, manufacture tolerances, customer service, etc.) I have never understood why. Many of these products enjoyed a customer base that was so solid, people didn't even "shop around," they just bought the same brand over and over. In other words, brand loyalty was really staggering, nearly almost cult-like devotion. So much so that in some cases, it took years and in some cases over a decade for people to both catch on, be convinced that something had changed, dealt with the mental dissidence and loss of face for continuing to recommend the brand (or having done so), and finally decide to move on or at least shop around. Not to mention that if I have a bunch of tools that aren't the real brand, especially if I'm not sure which, I feel taken advantage of, bamboozled - a highly unpleasant feeling I really dislike experiencing...... As just one example, Snap On tools were often considered an heirloom purchase being passed down through generations - that's not a reputation for product quality and customer service that is easily achieved. As another example, I am still using my grandfather's Craftsman metal drill with a chuck key. The only thing I've had to do is oil it from time to time and replace the rubber band the chuck key uses to attach it to the cord and allow it to be both easily manipulated and never get lost. I plan to pass on the tools to one of my children as I am now a grandparent myself, teaching my kids and grandkids how to buy quality, work safely, and take care of tools. I never wanted to be that grandmother that complains about "how things used to be" but the fact that if my printer breaks, its cheaper to just buy a new one than get it repaired just flat-out depresses me - As does these companies selling the use of their brand to unsuspecting customers who are thinking they are buying a quality item when its anything but. Thankfully, I believe that LPL "gets" all of the above and his "Covert Companion" looks pretty darn solid and I plan to buy one a little later this spring. I have bought LPL and Bosnian Bill's Disc Detainer Pick from Sparrows and the thing is ROCK SOLID, clearly a high quality design and build (Not to mention incredibly reasonable, if not downright inexpensive for what you're getting, again, design and build). .

At my job we have the same box, only under the Master-Lock brand.

I have a master lock lockbox just like that. The only difference is it’s light grey and has a hoop on the to attach it to door handles

Hey, that's a nice reputation you've got there Squire. Would be a shame if something were to happen to it.

“... reminiscent of other products that come from china ...” Enough said, even worst than MasterLock.

Bless the way you say Norwich

"Good Reputation is a Fragile Thing"

Welp, Squire's sweating bullets methinks.

It's pretty remarkable that I can now see the design of a lock and predict which attack LPL is going to use against it.

He just ruined Squire's Friday feeling in 2 minutes.

Where is Gnaw Witch in the UK? “Norridge”.

Excellent video, thank you very much.

Oh man, he straight-up _scolded_ Squire.

Still keeping my eyes out for the STUFF lock!

Surely just using concave wheels and having tabs preventing a thin strip being directly inserted would make this a lot better? Seems a very minor design change that would help a lot.

LPL is there anything that can be done for those locks on a utility bed ? I got my tools stolen and the thief used a pair of scissors from the Dollar store to unlock each lock on each door. There has to be thousands of construction workers that get their tools stolen from those cheap utility door locks every year.

With all the KZfaq Shorts becoming more popular, soon the LPL will forego his banter before the picking and just show us the 20 to 30-second clips of the lock being picked.

the only channel where if they plug their stuff i wont get mad and might actually buy it even tho i havent ever tried to pick a lock in my life

"Sterling" reputation. Very good for a British product in case anybody missed that.
