I can tell this one frustrated you. You normally sound much happier.

I would enjoy seeing you revisit this lock now that you're more experienced.

I love going back to these older video's they definitely inspire me knowing I'm not the only one dealing with frustration, and celebration with that opening pop. That being said it's a good kind of frustration knowing that with time and patients we'll eventually get that open!

Complete with a Bunnings Warehouse key 🔑 🤣. Now that’s a true Aussie Lock 🇦🇺

Would you pick it again, today? That would be extremelly interesting.

Congratulation on opening this devil. Must be a sense of delight when it popped open. Key pin #5 is funny. Great job!

LPL at 5:17: "Thing looks like a chess piece." Lock Noob: "Write that down! Write that down!"

I think had to be one of the best challenges I have seen you conquer. Thanks for sharing it. I know this one meant a lot to you.

Congratulations. I feel your victory! What a tough-to-pick lock.

Love it! This feels more IRL then the rest of your content! I like it!!! Great piece!!!

When you said "chess piece" I was thinking something that resembles a Bishop might make for an interesting pin. Nice touch to have the key secured to the shackle like that.

Well done! That must have taken quite some time to pick. Thank-you.

I’d like 2 see him pick this now. He’s probably a better picker

I like your videos. you truly understand the locks.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen LPL even close to excited.

That´s the lock I am using for decades now. Greetings from Germany!

Thoroughly entertaing. Good show ol' boy.

"I wasn't expecting to open this lock up" shook me until I looked at the episode number.

Number three is a candlestick. 😂

HANDSOME job, incredible lock! what a pain!!! would like to try this when you will be done

Woukd love to see you put it together, w/ closer view on barrel thingy...ha!

You freaking monster. Kudo!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

I would love to see how you can re-assemble the lock !

I am totally fascinated by your skill. I was a surgeon with a pretty good sense of touch but you are amazing. I have to ask if you are a defense attorney? If so, you must have a great release rate.

@LPL, I love looking at your vintage videos.. When did you meet Bosnian Bill?

You have definitely gotten a lot more confidence. Watched a lot of the newer videos and then this and another were some of your earlier videos. Can hear it in your voice, how far you've come. Also, I just watched the "Chess Piece" video earlier, perhaps this is the motivation for dude creating that lock. One last thing, can you point me to the video that outlines why the serrated and other designs are good for anti-picking? What & why makes for a good lock when it comes to the bidding & key design? Thank you.

Congrats!

Having watched a bunch of your more recent videos, I've gotta say, you have gained a shit ton of confidence. I wanna get into this for hobby purposes. Locks just keep honest people honest. I enjoy fine technical work, and I have the ability to summon super human degrees of patience. Keep doin' your do.

wow!!!!! that is about the most extreme key i've ever seen! love that driver pin 3 (chess piece) too, well, love all of it. this must of been a serious fight!? amazing job, thank you very much mate, another impressive vid ;)

Wow that reaction was amazing

Your vids are fascinating, I wish I was you. Can you recommend training in the UK or a decent pick set and books on the subject. I love a puzzle and this seems to be puzzles on steroids .

love the bunnings key! (cheap aussie warehouse)

I wonder how long this one would take him to pick and disassemble today.

I see what makes a formidable lock after watching lpl for a year. Quality solid metal casing, effort put into the pins to make them extreme as well as unique, and very importantly strict tolerance. I'm talking .1000's tolerance. If this lock gave lpl that much frustration then you can rest assured some drug addled nitwit isn't about to get past it.

I remember evil down under. Awesome job. It is definitely an evil pinning job.

Love Abus locks.

chess piece , yes excellent description !!!

what time is it? You sound tired... Great job. Sick lock. Killer vid. :)

Almost dumped the key pins out nice save nice picking and video.

This is the first time that I've seen you "frazzled" on a lock! I know it's an old video, but it just turned up on my feed. Have you revisited this lock in the past 6 years?

Nowadays he’d probably take longer to setup for recording

great job. it's always awesome when we prevail over evil locks .

very nice work on them pins ! congratulations on opening that one. IV seen a lot of Bosnian bills vids but don't recall that 1.do you remember what number he index it at ? I'd love to see the vid , cheers ...

not for me. would use my Glock pick set.

whats up with the extremely thin sections on pin 5? are those shear traps to prevent raking or bumping?

I can do many master locks but I have only gotten into my ABUS 83/45 a few times probably by accident.

Looks like a typical ABUS 83/45 rekeyable padlock... Does that key bitting specification even comply with MACS? (Maximum Adjacent Cut Specifications)

I was just wondering if you have ever had a go at a Bowley Lock? I just found out about them and they look very interesting.

All I can say is WOW!

You'd think, being a lawyer, you wouldn't spend so much time doing something so procrastinative.

Awesome!

I wanna a video of the whole month-long process. :-)

Damn you’re good!

It seems doable to make locks with much deeper key pins. Why isn't this more common?

Well done LPL for finally getting it open it seems like forever since I put that thing together and shipped it off to bill.

I think he wanted it still be a challenge to others, so he didn't show how he picked it.

I'm not prepared,I didn't think I'd get this open. Haha sounds like me with a Number 3 I'm so garbage.

Would like to see a video where you reassemble a lock. Maybe you do, I just haven't gotten to it.

Wow. Impressive pick man

Is there a video of you giving up on a lock? Or have you ever been beaten? I have some minor skills and learn SO SO much from you and Bill, thank you. I'm not a bad guy either, as far as picking anyway. My last was opening the front door of a six million dollar home in Santa Monica. The buyer took the keys knowing that at least four different crews had pickup work to finish and thought we would all stand around and wait for her convenience. I was a hero that day. Less than five minutes to get in and no one told the homeowner how we all got in. I wish I remembered what lock it was so I could find out my skill level or that locks quality. I don't think I'm that good just an interested amateur.

When was this? KZfaq not showing date!

The key was from Bunnings! lol!!!

can you please come back to this lock and explain to us why and how it was that dificult ?

That key is coo coo 🧐🎉

I have this lock, and I asked my locksmith for an unpickable key, and except for two reversed positions in the middle, it's identical to that key.

If you hadn't studied the key hence knowing the keyway, would it have taken you even longer to open that padlock? For example, I've just put a new core in my Kasp 19070XD, (bottom plate still sits flush, anti-drill plate minus pins still in situ) if I don't tell you what I've put in it and don't show you the key, is it going to take you a month of Sundays to open it? Anyway, you still have megga skills 😮, I'm not saying you haven't 😑. But to go in blind on a padlock, is that a longer story?🤔

great picking! One thing though, where did you get that pin tray that you use?

hello lockpickinglawyer....have you picked a RUKO lock before??? its made in denmark and seems to be very VERY difficult to pick. thx

5:50 I catch myself barely breathing for fear of blowing lock parts around.

pin 5 looked like a damn spinning top while the 3rd looks like a rook edit i noticed pin 3 also looks like a queen piece

Yes, Glock pick set might do the job but I will stick to my .50 cal sniper rifle with explosive rounds lol. Great pick LPL as usual. I really enjoyed the video especially since you were surprised. Never seen that happen to you before.

Can you pick the Abus Plus 89/50? Is it harder than the one in this video? If so, approximately how long would it take?

After watching the recent videos featuring absolute and utter destruction of all types of locks using lego figures, red bull cans or magnets, I legitimately thought it was just another of these shitty locks at the beginning :D

That's the solution! Make your own challenge lock and use it.

The keypin on 5 looks like the Apollo CSM...

Do you have videos for us lock picking beginners who have just started out like myself? If so could you give us a link. Thanks from UK 😊

Nailed it

There would not be extreme bitting variations with normal factory supplied keys. There are generally 10 depths but adjacent pins generally be the shallowest and deepest cut as the shallow cut would be undermined. so manufacturers set a "Maximum Adjacent Cut Specification" (MACS). This is often 7, but with British Yale traditional consumer grade nightlatches etc is 4. It is possible to make a key that violates the design MACS with steeper angle cuts and almost completely undercutting an adjacent cut. It is sometimes possible to use an 11th depth where the pin is on the shear line with no key inserted. It may be possible to drill the pin holes slightly to create an extra depth but this weakens the key. Hence an evil minder person could pin a cylinder that is harder to pick than any cylinder pinned in accordance with manufacturers specifications.

This feels like a LPL deepcut.

I think the springs being connected was some evil shit to make pin 5 fall when you picked pin 6

Reminds me very much of the checkers and chess lock

LPL can now pick this lock by looking at it with a raised eyebrow.

Wow a LPL that's 8:46! Popcorn.

Wow, I think this is the first video I’ve seen of yours where it sounds like you broke a sweat. Had to be a tough lock because usually you make it look like cake.

Evil from down under? HA, it should have been the Tasmanian Devil!!!!!!! Never seen such pins, & then the bitting. Insane from down under maybe as well. LOL!!!!!!!

number 5 hook

Would you say that this is the hardest lock you've ever picked?

The only thing to say is...... WOW👍👍🆒🔓😘👍🍻

3 years late, how much trouble did pin 3 cause? (Actually, how about on a scale of 1 to 100 how much trouble did the whole lock cause?) And approximately how many false sets did you fall into?

Would you consider ABUS to be a quality lock in general?

At 3:21, that is clearly not the way that is supposed to sit in the tray, so you're either overwhelmed, or just want to poke the O.C.D. Bear in me! lol

What is that unholy hellspawn Driver pin in number 3.

Why are they not factory made like this? Too expensive?

That is just EVIL.

Ok, forgive me for not knowing this but I've never known why you would put serrated key pins, any chance someone could help me out with this?

Fun to watch you as "surprised". Nice job. R

One of your smoke detectors needs a new battery.

I have watched so many locks get defeated so quickly here, even with amazing keys unlike anything I have owned. This lock took two experts a month! Perhaps not “unpickable” but close enough by far!

You can hear it in his voice
