@@AnimeSunglasses Yeah I would have this printed on the front packaging: LPL would not hesitate to use this lock.

Awesome to see companies going to LPL! Will look to you if I ever need a lock!

Congrats comrade. This is one badass lock, lol

Gratz!

Good job on this lock!

It would be easier to cut the coupler and weld a new one than to try and tangle with that lock Can't wait until you come out with a puck lock. Will definetly upgrade from his prior best reviewed lock.

And if you can go to such lengths to steal the items protected by such a thing, you can probably get access to a tilt tray truck n just lift the sucker away. There's always a way around.

The only thing this protects is the hitch coupling itself. 99% of couplings are bolted to the trailer drawbar by 4 exposed bolts.

I'd just pull the trailer away with the safety chains. Hook them up a bit tighter than normal, stay off the freeway, and deal with the lock elsewhere.

@@DiscoFang I believe LPL mentioned this in a separate video with a coupler lock. It's either welded on or bolted, the latter case being one to watch out for when considering a lock.

Chances are the truck attached to this trailer is easier to open quickly than this lock.

Same.

That is always the problem with a really secure lock. The things around it are not as strong. On a house it's easier to crowbar the door to get in than it is to pick the lock.

Plus you get to keep the incredibly valuable lock

I would say its probably even easier to have a bigger trailer to put the target trailer on and secure it and drive off that way. Or just have a trailer and a few motivated thief buddies to move the asset from the target trailer to other one.

It's designed to go over it quite far so in theory you can't get a power tool between the trailer and the vehicle, however there will always be a work around in practice, eg go underneath. The important thing is that the lock company themselves won't be the weakest link.

EXCELLENT suggestion. All British airmen in WWII carried a hidden map of Germany, France, etc. during missions. It was made of silk, printed, and folded into a TINY block. The block was then put inside a hollow brass button on their flight jacket, with a left hand thread. Despite looking for it for 6 years, the German never found a single one. True story.

LPL was never able to pick this lock, called the Bowley lock on video 636 here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7xohK6Ls6zcfKs.html

@@mattp3524 A little out of date but with custom tooling it's possible. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gblgebarxtO5qpc.html

And it needs a specialized tool too

They knew what they were doing. It’s a prototype. If he got it open fast, they would have made changes and the changes would be what they promoted. Smart move.

@@seanj3667 considering they used disk detainer, all they really needed to do was focus on making it brute force resistant. They could stand to make a lot of money in a short amount of time just applying this logic to a bunch of different lock applications

@@andreunlife7909 wouldnt be surprised

They're like musicians who just watched Weird Al parody one of their songs.

With LPL praise like this, they will charge $500 for this lock.

You forgot the most important part: "Cut production cost at least in half. No need for the final product to be as strong as the prototype as long as it looks the same"

@@Jehty_ Awwwww... you've just violated your Master Lock board member NDA.

@@Ron-ds2ob They were already going to charge that much, it's a very high end trailer lock.

They say if you preorder it you save $75, and its for $350 rn. Im guessing the final product will be $425, give or take maybe $75

I wonder if he should get some sort of guiness world record for picking locks or something. That would be cool

Well, you can still have it cut off. It's just going to cost you an arm, a leg and both testicles...

I personally own this lock, and you can register your key number with them incase you lose it. No need to cut it off.. They also send you 4 keys with the lock too :)

Faster to cut the front of the trailer off and weld on a new coupler.

Yes, good idea.

That’s just the good old American system. We measure things in lengths of football fields, weight in master locks, and time in dog years.

@@Ceece20 this is probably more practical than the imperial sistem

@@falquicao8331 it’s probably the equivalent. Unless you are in science, design, or architecture (and other job related things), most measurement systems are fine as long as there is understanding between the people. Miles or kilometers don’t mean really anything unless you have an understanding of the distance. Outside of what I mentioned above, there really isn’t a difference between pounds and kilograms. They are just numbers.

@@falquicao8331 It's basically the heart of the imperial system - choose an everyday object that everyone is familiar with, and then use it to measure things. The metric system is the weird one with is quasi-scientific units of measure that have zero relevance to the everyday world and are usually out of proportion to the things they are measuring..

@@ARCNA442 I would say the imperial system is can be easier to visualize at the beginning, but more difficult to work with if you need to change scales often. Metric is more arbitrary, but also more organized (though I come from a metric using country so I'm kind of biased towards it)

@@Marinealver BosnianBill's pick does not work on Abloys as you cannot put tension on the zeroth cover disc. That vulnerability was fixed decades ago. You need Huxleypig's version that LPL is using here.

Indeed, the disappointment was huge

I would recommend keeping an eye on altor because they seem to have a mission now, to create a lock for every purpose that is physically resistant to angle grinders and other similar power tools. And if they continue pursuing that mission then this world will become a lot safer

@@the_undead They do need to keep changing their lock core, though. The reason a commercially available tool doesn't exist yet is because it's less common. Once a core becomes common, a tool for it will become common.

@@Merennulli I don't think it's necessary. Just like what LPL said, it would take a specialized tool AND some skills to pick this lock. But if skilled pickers are going to pick altor, they are going to pick it for the challenge and not for stealing the trailer.

@@Merennulli picking a lock is not the main problem that you deal with when in more practical use especially once you start getting into the higher end stuff like this detainer cores with a lot of false Gates, and that won't be an issue for a considerable amount of time. The main problem is destructive attacks, destructive attacks are the main reason that Master Lock puts so little effort into their cores because they probably don't see it as worth it to put that much effort in compared to what you're going to get for it in terms of practical use. That being said I think more effort should be put into the pick resistance of a core but the outer stuff even if a tool does become in common use which I highly doubt because Matt Smith has all kinds of effort put into making sure that nobody can manufacture his lockpicks. Which leaves us at destructive entry is the only realistic method someone is going to break into the altor SAF locks. And these things are so resistant to brute force that I would happily trust them for years to come

@@Merennulli the only reason I wouldn't trust these is if some new standard of battery powered angled grinder becomes a thing like say the standard size is a 5-in disc instead of a four and a half inch disc

Thanks for doing that. ALTOR saying that they are huge fans of LPL made me smile.

They could have tensioned it off some other disc so his tool would not work. But then we wouldn't get a video :D

You know there will be high five's all around when the production team sees this video.

@@gearloose703 I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't *have* to tension off of disc eight.

@@gearloose703 On past disc locks, it looks like he tensions off a specific disc for convenience, then moves the tension to another disc as needed.

Custom cut Red Bull can

It’s safe to say that the majority of thieves will not possess the skills to open this lock. Are there those who can? Yes, are those that skilled stealing bicycles? I doubt it.

i'd say this is a full blown recommendation and i agree with it. there is no reason for a trailer lock to be "light duty." go heavy or go home.

Blindly claming it will protect against everything makes him vulnerable to being quoted if not sued for false advertisement as well as his reputation which is on stake. Yes a bunch of cheap ass companies claim way more with way shittier products that they stole from the 8 year old Chinese kid while it was still making it. But that just shows his standards and that he is aware of his potential influence. There isn't a lock that protects 100%, for a fact there exists nothing that protects you for 100% from anything.
