"There's no denying that the company is making far more effort than most." I feel like that's incredibly high praise from LPL.

I also noticed that they rated it 5/10 for security. That is amazingly honest, especially compared to all the 'MAXIMUM SECURITY!' locks that have none of the features this one has.

“Making far more effort than most.” That’s practically a glowing endorsement.

LPL: better than expected shareholders:📈 But in all honesty, having 5/10 rating on package is much more honest than having "maximum security" on far worse products

For a padlock under $20 that's pretty darn good. Well done, Toledo.

Toledo is a really reputable brand. Check out how they mark this lock 5 out of 10, instead others put every one of their locks on the highest of the scale, when they know that they are crap.

An okay lock that honestly rates itself 5/10 in terms of pick resistance? And it is NOT made in Germany? Interesting!

Wow, he was able to callout master lock without even mentioning them by name, he just causally says "The company is making far more effort than most."

After so many "super ultra high security" locks being met with the wave rake, it's refreshing to see a lock that calls itself 5/10 actually featuring security measures, even when not perfect.

LPL's average time to pick: 30 seconds This lock: 45. Not too shabby!

would be interesting to see you get their maximum security lock.

"Better Than Expected" and having +6 minutes clip, that's probably one of the highest praise LPL has given

Damn, better than expected‽ Whoever designed it deserves a raise!

I love seeing locks be taken apart, I find it interesting to see what makes locks good or bad and the difference in security measures

THIS WAS A SHOCK, A COMPANY THAT ACTUALLY PUTS AN EFFFORT INTO PICKING, DRILL & BUMP RESISTANCE & IS HONEST WITH THE RATING AS WELL. I HAVE TO GIVE THEM 2 THUMBS UP FOR THEIR EFFORT.

They need to print "Better Than Expected - LPL" in big letters across the pack!

Another big point in their favor is they only rate it 5/10 for security, rather than rating all their products 9.

Man feels like forever since LPL tore a lock apart literally instead of just verbally.

There is no double thumb-up for KZfaq videos, but my intention was there; great video, for what LPL went above and beyond - to explain how one lock manufacturer has: 1) the sense of ethics; 2) high standards of manufacture; 3) respect for their customers. A praise for LPL - he creates great KZfaq video, and shows a sense of mission when educating his subscribers; this video shows it clearly. Greetings, Anthony

You already know that it's one of the better locks when the Lishi Tool makes an appearance. And even with that it took impressively long to pick (for LPL standards).

I would buy that lock just for the cylinder assembly. Put that in something more stout, and you'll have a formidable lock.

That lock deserves far better than an aluminum body. High praise indeed from LPL considering the schlock from most other manufacturers.

"There's no denying that the company is making far more effort than Most-erlock" 6:16

im a 33 year master auto tech and watching the pressure you use to pick these locks terrifies me to the point where im pretty sure i cant ever do what you can. i work with fine objects and i know what bends and binds metal or destroys precision tools. youre a legend 👍

The fact that you go directly to the Lishi for this lock actually speaks volumes.

"Better than expected"....their stock just went up

Honest advertising on the packaging, several security features, and only $18? I'm impressed.

I finally did the right step and bought myself basic tools and see-through testing locks. It was really exciting to feel what that 'nothing on one, two is binding, nice click on three' really feels like. And the thrill when the lock gave way the first time and 'we got this open' was fantastic. Endrofines were spilled into my system and I felt sheer happiness. I understand that those locks are easy to pick, there are no security pins whatsoever. But still. I think I got myself a new hobby. Thank you LPL for preparing me for this moment and inspiring me that lock picking is not a black magic but a learnable skill. I'm on the starting line admittedly but the fact that I can do such thing is wonderful.

This is only a 5/10 on their little security scale! I'd be interested to see a 10/10, I wonder what features that could have!

Executives at Toledo are all now taking a collective sigh of relief and popping champagne corks.

This is basically the most prominent brand of padlocks and door locks in PR, our entire warehouse uses them and I'm surprised they are so far good cause I always felt they were cheap.

Did he say it was better than expected ? I will now trust this padlock with my life.

Such a pleasure to watch you disassemble a lock again, and what a good find - a lock where the manufacturer really tried to make it resistant to a non-violent approach.

What a cool lock! Nice to see the insides 👍 I love when he takes out his pinning tray, like in the good old days.

Congrats to the company for earning your compliments, but also give yourself a pat on the back for the clarity of your video. I was streaming it onto my 55" TV and the close ups of the barrels etc was a crisp 100% in focus and I could see the machining marks despite my aged 70yr old eyes! 🤔😃👍🇬🇧

>"Boss, LPL did a video on our lock." >"How long is the video?" >"It's 6 and a half minutes." >"Let's throw a parade! 🥳"

Holy Toledo! A half decent affordable lock

It’s a good day if LPL drops a video, especially if we get - an actually good product - 6 minutes - gutted - he not disappointed That core is worth buying by itself.

A company that makes such an effort deserves alll the recognition. Take that core and put it in a laminated body padlock and youd have a decent lock.

Holy Toledo! Finally a lock that is worthy of a little praise! Im gonna go explore the Toledo lineup and buy a dozen :)

6 min video is a compliment by itself 😊

Impressive, if that were a Master Lock they would of given it a 10+ rating. Thank you LPL. 👍🏻

My 8yr son and I love your videos. He started picking using paper clips and would love to see a video where you do some cool picking with nothing more than a paper clip.

Toledo-ly decent lock there

Not bad for about $17-18!

Congratulations to Toledo. This is as good as it gets.

Impressive, they got LPLs credit. That’s as good as an endorsement in my book.

I have learned SO much from watching your videos. I really had very little knowledge about how keys and locks, which are ubiquitous in our civilization, worked until I started watching your channel. Thank you for the years of excellent content!

Now all we need is for all other lock companies to also say 5/10 security rating and they’ll get points for honesty too 😂

How fun to see a lock that actually gets a little praise!

so basically the lock is exactly as safe as it looks, as the internal mechanism is more secure than the basic construction of the lock body and shackle. that's nice :)

I don't know what It is about your videos that always has me coming back, thank you for always providing great content LPL.

Been a while since ive seen a lock disassembly from LPL, very neat

I really enjoy these videos, but they always makes me seriously doubt any locks

You know it has some good qualities when LPL takes apart the lock to show us. I hope Toledo see this video and understand that we appreciate the work thats gone into this honest rated lock.

Honestly, the amount of time it took you to pick this says a lot. Usually you pick things open so fast that it wouldn't look suspicious to a casual observer, maybe the lock is just a little finicky with the real key. This one, definitely someone could get suspicious

Holy Toledo! That was an outstanding effort. I’d love to see some of their higher security options if that’s just rated 5/10.

OK, even before I begin, 6:37? This has to be a rock star of a lock. K let's see

"There's no denying that the company is making far more effort than most." Give that Toledo engineer a solid bonus. That is almost a wedding request from LPL... :)

You know, this gets me thinking. A lock like this doesn’t look much harder to manufacture. Master Lock is a huge company and they can’t make something like this? It seems so simple and shows a little thought goes a long way. My impression of this is that most lock companies really just don’t care. Great video!

Would you be willing to show us a video of you drilling through the side of the lock to test your theory?

That seems more like an 11/10 if Masterlock's rating scale is used.

Like the city of Toledo itself, far better than most expect.

It's a Federal copy (most likely made in the same factory), the bow and strong spring in #2 gave it away. You can also find them labled up as Draper Expert. Thanks for sharing.

Better than expected? Pretty much a recommendation coming from LPL. And the video being longer than 5 minutes? Must be really impressed by it.

Anyone else getting worried about the LockPickingLawyer?

This man can also open *Superman Door to the Fortress of Solitude* 🔑

this looks like a really fun lock for locksport enthousiasts. Very nice.

11 days aence last upload, are you okay??

masterlock must be relieved from not getting their locks in the video 😂

Love seeing a lock with some effort. Appreciate the tear down and explanation.

I'd like to see the destructive methods shown / tested on a padlock like this too, as low-skill entry is also an interesting factor. I was really happy to see the full disassembly.

Im yet to fully watch, but: These types of titles are usually an endorsement by the LPL...lol

can i send you cookies 🍪🍪

Credit for the effort and the honesty in their rating, it's a rare company that doesn't give everything a 10/10 or MAXIMUM SECURITY rating

I’m here because I’m always looking for topics I know nothing about. I like practical things in my “old” age. But I’m a little concerned at how many followers you have! Of course, your audio is clear and so is the rest of your presentation. So not surprised. Thanks for making a good channel.

Algorithm appeasment comment

I've missed videos like this, something about seeing the inner workings of the lock is very satisfying. Now he just needs to go back to destructive methods for opening locks

Its nice to see a gutting video again. Reminds me of the early days.

Now that's a lock I'd be comfortable using for a garage or barn door. Good enough deter the casual thief and cheap enough to replace if you lose the keys.

I love you can tell the security of a lock by how long the video is! First 6min+ video I've seen in a bit!

And yet more proof that yes, you _can_ make a buck off selling locks with half-decent security measures in the cylinder for less than 20 bucks! And it comes in snazzy colours, too! Heck, even if someone does break the lock via a snip or twist, you can still get that cylinder out and use it for something else, like as a practice lock or just stick it into a somewhat more heavy-duty body for your next bike. Also, a proper taking apart & examining the pins video! I feel like we haven't had a lock worthy of one of those in ages!

Great demonstration.

High praise from LPL. I'm impressed by their level of quality and though in the design of this lock.

It was so cool to see “Mike the scavenger” from tube use your advise to open a lock box he found in a dumpster. Awesome and he did menti9n that he used your advise. You and him are my favorite channels that I watch.

That lock is awesome. I love green stuff

I really like it when we are shown how the locks work.

I appreciate the full disassembly of the lock, as well as the fact that the lockmakers actually put different types of pins in the chambers.

Those are the kind of videos that kept me here in the first place, a long time ago. When there is a « follower » involved, I get all excited (!), thank you for this and keep’em coming!

"Covert Instruments" - the name says it all. Not everyone is watching this for pure entertainment value.

I am impressed by the quality and focus of the camera on close ups

I would love to see a video about a few locks that you recommend, maybe a couple padlocks at different price points, a couple bike locks, and maybe a couple other misc locks you just think are unique or special in some way. It’s almost deceptive sometimes to tell if a lock is good or not since you defeat every lock in mere minutes or in most cases mere seconds😂

I miss this style of video with a teardown and extra description- good stuff.

I really enjoy when it takes him longer to disassemble the lock than it does to open it... 😁

Not every lock warrants it, but I love and will always stick around for a disassembly.

Nice to see a company be more honest and put some effort in. I would like to see MORE videos of locks that are at least decent to buy... and maybe some that are great or even impossible to get into. Seems like most of the locks shown are terrible... or they put the effort into the wrong places. Love your channel.

This lock looks awesome! So stylish

As far as videos goes from lpl, this is a raving review. Instead of just "haha i did it lemme do it again 🤪" he actually broke down the lock. Also, it took him a while to unlock that compared to anything else ive seen

That would be a perfect lock for the type of inset padlocks many big toolboxes use in construction.

Very nice to see that someone is not just using the Toledo name for cheap s#!+. I worked on a building there and broke down there in a freak weather pattern. The people I encountered in both instances were of the finest. Friendly, hard working , generous and helpful. I realize that Toledo has it's problems but they haven't let it take their soul.
