this is probably going to come across as a bit of a weird comment but I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate that you've gone >800 videos and never jammed unnecessary lengthy intros or outro music into your videos. It's obvious you're more doing this because it's a hobby more than anything else but it makes your videos a lot more watchable just to have your simple introduction and explanation of what the video is about over nonsense like that. Glad to be a subscriber to this channel.

I went backwards in timeline and was expecting "The Pick that Bosnian Bill and I Made". Panic !

I'll be damned. A lock that got pretty darn high praise by LPL! Not a first, but it sure as hell is rare!

Going backwards through the videos and reaching a disk detainer lock picked before "The Pick that Bosnian Bill and I Made" is weird

I think the steel discs with wider lugs might be for torque resistance. If a torque attack was carried out, the steel discs would protect the brass ones.

@LockPickingLawyer, just an idea. How about putting a microphone on the lock you are picking. This way we may have better idea what is going on inside and hear better when something clicks.

"not sure what's holding up right now" Translation: "this lock will be open in about 15 seconds"

Why does this lock seem so much more complicated than the hundreds of others I've watched you pick? Also, you are a truly genuine and inspiring person. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge on this subject...

Hey LPL - presumably you could cut a couple of false gates into these discs using a small file. I'd love to see you do a tutorial on improving these sorts of disc detainer locks like this, especially since it seems fairly simple to do and would significantly improve security.

Yes you need to use the keys before you pick them more often! I love seeing the many interesting keys work, and how smooth and sound the lock is before you start picking it.

now thats a nice lookiing lock

I am new to your channel. I've seen a couple videos in past on my feed, but I must say I love what you do. Informative, to the point, and very pleasant to watch. If I had any comment at all, it would be that I would want to see a video on your favourite lock, a lock that exceeds your expectations, if one exists. All in all, I'm happy to have you in my youtube feed.

Wow !!! I would of never guessed all that was in that little lock!! Another great video!! Good job !!

Well picked and gutted. Impressive!!

Wow I'm impressed, of both the lock and your skill. Happy New Year - - -

That is quite a lovely lock. Great video as always.

Nice lock for the shops that *have the lock very close to the wall.* Would be very hard to break, if it had some outer shell case for protection, and only the key would fit in.

I live in Thailand and it feel good to see familiar brand in this channel!

You made that look so easy but it's not that easy really. Picked to excellence again. It is great to see a lock of this type gutted. Just goes to show that part of the world does on occasion produce something worth your well earned cash.

This lock is ment for apartment door or gate with a shutter bolt of some sort, not for chain ppl

A veritable surgeon of lock passifying..amazing.

Very nice job I never had much luck with disc container locks...

You sound really happy this video! Your content is really improving.

Great video ! Never seen one of these before, so thank you !

You should score the locks, will be nice to see a playlist of the A+ locks and a list of the E- Locks.

Such a beautiful lock

Great video!

why am i glued to this like its a thriller? he is picking locks for crissakes!

What can say HAPPY NEW YEARS LPL..VERY VERY INTERESTING well explained buddy thanks for the great video my friend. 😎

The gutting reminds me of Sonic losing his coins/tokens for some reason 😅

Very Nice info, first one I have seen gutted.

Picking definitely isn't a real threat when you need some crazy tool to pick it. I expected you to bust out normal tools and BAM you break out some crazy tool made just for that kind of lock. Very cool.

Great video brother, thanks for sharing

I share your opinon on the make quality of these Solex locks. Came across them on a holiday in Thailand and was impressed with the make quality. Took some home to germany and i'm really happy with them.

I ran a large video game route and I used a lock similar in design to this one. My locks were KD padlocks and I always liked them for their security.

Very interesting picking tool, I'll admit.

Very well done Mr. L.P.L.

You are the master!

So much like the old abloy locks I have, the ones with the d-shaped key. And yet the evolved on different continents.

What you do is art.

Brilliant video, thx

I found a $11.50 Solex lock with the same core with a 45mm body and 9mm moly shackle and bought It off Lazada based on this video. It is good enough to force someone to grind on the steel gate instead at a reasonable price.

I'm not certain where the dislikes come from. All of your videos are very straightforward and curiously entertaining

Well done, what a great lock. Can you tell me how you first determine what end the lock tensions from before you start.

One thing is for sure, it's a lock I feel certain, I'd never manage to pick!

That’s a beaut Clark!

I am curious about the learning process you go through when you first get a new lock. I assume you pick the locks a few times and study them prior to videoing, am curious how your first pass goes. As always, great work. Thanks.

Solex also make some really good motorcycle disc locks. Have you worked with any of them? You can look up the Solex 9040 model motorcycle disc lock if your interested. They sell retail for around US$10. The bright yellow color of the lock is nice too. Helps you to remember you have a lock on the motorcycle before getting on the bike and starting to drive away.

You should get a hold of a Solex-brand disc detainer padlock.

Thumbs up for use of tweezer handle to unscrew the cover plate.

I was looking for this lock instead found a LEXPON CQC TOP SECURITY I was wondering about this lock now but haven found it in your past videos.

Amazing..! A picking video.!

It's too bad that these locks are so hard to find. I'm glad I trusted my gut and bought one after LPL praised it. I get lots of compliments on it.

I would love for you to have a good microphone very close to a lock, so we can hear the clicks of each pin/disc as you get to them. Obviously hearing you describe the status is great, but I'd love to have the audio too!

Very cool and unusual design, not a bad lock I think.🍺😎

It took him under two minutes to pick the lock for the first try. Must be a dámn good lock.

That lock holds whole two minutes against LPL and his lockpick!

lock companies should really have a guy like you in house to test the prototype locks before they go into mass production

they also manufacture one with the shackle coming off the short side, with a longer shackle running through the longer side

Looks like the steel discs are all the same cut...so I am thinking they are 0's and therefore driver discs. So the steel wears much better than brass, especially when the steel discs are driving the lock. I think that the tabs are wider to ensure that make contact with the shell first, stopping wear on other discs because it is via the tabs and shell that the lock gets driven.

you said it. add your own false gates ,👍😄

Sometimes I think the thing holding him up is saying “Not sure what’s holding us up right now...” *Click*

That's a tough one

He should go back and do this again with the pick that he made with Bosnian Bill. It would be fun to see him compare the picking difficulty using the two different tools.

It appears a lot of the picking planning comes from researching the lock, knowing the internals, studying the key, etc. Which types of locks would be a strong foil to would be thieves that can't see the key (ridges, dots, Bowley style, etc) and only has the standard common tools (i.e. no making custom tools)

Amazing. Who are you? Where did you learn this? Very impressive!

He doesn't even picked your lock. He even disassemble your lock without any help of heavy tools.

The brass is most likely acting as a softer wear component that won't gouge the steel and will allow the steal to turn past it

love that pinning tray! May I ask what brand is?

Locks like this are put in shutters which makes it difficult to use the tools you use. Thoughts on this?

Great.

I do like the finish of this lock, maybe a touch of loctite may be useful as well (ok I am fussy)

I am surprised more manufacturers aren't putting false gates on their disc detainer cores. Seems like a good way to increase security with very little extra cost. There must be some reason though (costs being higher than it looks? Someone out there having a patent on false gates? Intentionally making it weak?)

Very cool lock any practical uses

I want to see it put back together! 😁

I feel disc detainer locks are usually pretty secure because few people have the tools necessary to pick them.

I find it odd that with all the theft going on that this channel doesn't have a lot more views, as a locksmith/picker I enjoy seeing many newer locks that are not as common

it took him a little over two minutes. i find myself scrubbing the time line to figure out his start and stop times.

1000+ video's about picking locks... "but picking isn't a real world problem"... :D

Time for a manicure lol Great channel!

Nice

I have been subscribed for quite some time and find all of this lock stuff fascinating. Are you aware of any locks that have a dual key/combination function? I rent a workshop that is owned and managed by someone else. They won`t let me change the lock, so i`d like to find a lock that would accept this core, and also have a combination as an option.

Dose the screw in design work better than press fit aginst slide hammer attacks on the disk detainer core?

#LockPickingLawyer or @LockPickingLawyer - Where did you get this lock from, and how much was it please? I cant find it anywhere online and I really like the design of the lock body encasing the staple so it can't be cut. Perhaps you could leave a link in your reply? Thanks, Graham

Great pickin' LPL. Can disc detainer locks be re-pinned/re-keyed??

Picked in 2, 1/2 mins!

If you use that lock at the opposite side of a door with only a small hole to access from the front to unlock with a key. It makes it impossible for him to pick it. He can't see it, and he can't get a good hold unto it.

Jyoti locks in India has come up with a similar lock with dimpled keys I have reviewed it on my channel.

Rest in Peace: Christopher Lee, Roger Moore and Hervé Villechaize. Sorry, couldn't help the 1974 reference to the "Solex" in the movie The Man With The Golden Gun.

I haven't seen this thing in Thailand yet .

Recent addition to the channel so I apologize if this has been answered. Are you a lawyer? I'd assume so but your about page doesn't mention anything. Really enjoying your videos. Keep up the great work!

I'd be interested in a tour of the "store bought" parts of your kit. Perhaps with links for purchase?

How strong is that pin that holds in the core? Maybe this would be susceptible to a pulling attack?

How big of a chain could fit in there? Might be an option for bike locking.

What kind of shackles would this be used for? I can’t picture the kinds of lock hasp it would attach to.

Is there a video explaining the disk detainer locking mechanism? Even looking at the gutted discs, I am hard pressed to see more than a couple differences with the naked eye. I am still looking through all of your videos, so please forgive me if it already exists and I have not yet found it.

How well do you think this lock would stand up to weather? I want a lock that will survive road salt, snow and ice and a torch that melts said ice. It’s for my trailer doors on my 18 wheeler. If this isn’t a good one for that, any suggestions?

My house got a rekeyable padlock from the same solex brand and always thought it was just some cheapo Chinese stuff

Do you have a video where you picked and gutted a disc detainer lock with false gates? I'd like to see that. Thanks!

What type of pick is that im new to all of this but very interested
