love when he says"not sure whats holding us up." like the lock has no business defying him. lol

I feel like one of the biggest security features of this lock is that your average picker would not expect or recognise a three row lock.

i don’t know why i’m so into this, i have never had anything to do with locks before in my life

This is the longest I've ever seen LPL take on a lock. I'm damn impressed with it.

Fill this with security pins and send it to bill

I was thinking “Finally a lock that can’t be picked” LPL “nice click out of 4 and it’s open”

I like how you can hear the excitement in his voice when he tells the story of finding it and when he cracks it open. If he had a tail it would be wagging really fast right now.

3 minute 25 to pick, this is a BEAST If you replace some of the pins with security pins, it'll be a bother to open XD

"You're gonna need a bigger -boat- tray."

Took over 3 minutes for LPL to pick? Must be a god tier lock then!

Finally a cylinder you actually have to spend 60 seconds with.. where do I buy one?

Imagine how gutted a lock-making company must feel when they see their lock on LPL channel. “Oh ffs lads he’s cracked this one in 12 seconds as well”

Impressive picking. Is there anything you cannot pick ? The key alone would stop 99% of people from even attempting it, -- into the naughty bucket it goes. You made this look as easy as a standard 5 pin lock, truly you did. Thanks for the entertainment. I'm still shaking my head in disbelief.

After a few LPL videos, I'm thinking, instead of racing to make the 'unpickable lock', wouldn't it be more practically effective to make a 'dummy lock'? I mean, imagine installing a lock like the one in this video, but it's a dummy lock. The real key is a magnetic card or bluetooth passkey. Someone spends like 45 minutes picking this lock, unlocks the cylinder, but nothing happens. To fool a stalker further, the digital key can be in the form of a dummy key. Shaped like a key that you insert into the cylinder, but actually what unlocks it is the digital data inside the dummy key. A stalker thief will see you unlock it with a regular key, but pulls his/her hair out trying to pick it....

Almost makes me want to cheer on the lock when it takes him more than 30 sec.s to pick open...😹. Great video.

Bruh. It took this man 3 minutes and change to open this. If there were security pins in here this would be insane.

That is a cool lock. I can't imagine how hard that would be to pick if it had security pins.

you know what I was thinking that would be super interesting to add to your videos in general, is a score on pickability, and and score on overall security. for example on every lock you pick you could say I would give a score of 88 out of 100 for picking security and 75% on overall security, this way if people are shopping for a lock either for lock picking sport, or either just to secure their motorcycle, they could see what you think of their specific lock. I think it woudl increase your views too! let me know what you think!

That was crazy! I thought for sure it might stump you. Waiting on my new picks and practice locks to get here. My sister bought me a book on lock picking in 1968 which shows how long I have been curious. Now I am 63 and decided to make it into a fun hobby. Back in '68, you just couldn't get what you needed like you can today. Thanks.

I think the KZfaq recommendations might be trying to frame me....... DIY chloroform, now lock picking videos? weird..

Needs 7 or 8 more rows of pins.

LPL started picking at 1:57 and ended at 5:18. It took him a solid 4.5 minutes to pick this thing. That’s a good lock.

"13 Pins in 3 Rows!" then followed by "Picked and Gutted" makes me feel like, is LPL really shocked.

I really like that they machined the core instead of casting it, they even took the time to resurface the floating areas of the core (the parts that don't really rub up against any other parts. I mean it could use a little spit and polish but they probably never thought that someone would want to open it up. I kind of want one of these for my collection. Scratch that, there aren't any on the English-speaking web and my Chinese isn't good enough to mess around the Chinese-speaking boards. I'm sure I'll be able to find a similar one at some point if I keep an eye out for one.

Man! His patience in gutting the lock is impressive. I'd have dumped everything out and used the housing as a paperweight and called it a day.

Do you look at any lock out in real life and laugh to yourself knowing you can get anywhere you want if you wanted to lol

Soon as I realized the lock only needed 1 re-pick and the pins from the left dropped into the holes on the right I knew the pin stacks were staggered. Then u took it apart and YES. Look how much you’ve taught me! 🙏🏻 Never taken apart a lock in my life lol

Ill be honest....i was a criminal in Baltimore for 20+ years. I never had interest in picking, or engineering of locks. Spent my time in jail & prison and changed my life. Just happened upon these videos by coincidence and im completely intrigued in how to pick and how these puzzles work. Its amazing. No criminal intentions these days but id love to learn these skills just to say i can do it...lol oh your locked out? Lemme get my lock pick set off my motorcycle n get you in...lol

I find it amazing that a lock of that quality came from China. When I say quality I'm not referring to pick resistance, but rather the machining. Looks to have good tolerances, all stainless/brass, and is far more secure than your average lock made in the USA.

Looks like you're going to have to mill some new slots in your pinning tray for these absurd massively multi pin style locks, lol.

I need one of these locks. It took him longer than 30 seconds that’s good enough for me.

Since it took you relatively long to pick it, I'd say it's good enough. Much better with some upgrades, like security pins and a cover so no one can see the key.

This to a newbie looked absolutely terrifying, well done,outstanding pick,billbobaggins.

I guess that little ball bearing gives a nice satisfying click when the user returns the key to the original position. The extra-wide keyway may be convenient for more competent pickers, it may actually serve as a challenge for novices, who often only have to think about in-out and up-down manipulations of the pick, without thinking about rolling or yawing, as the keyway usually keeps you right in line.

I'd like to see him try putting this lock back together... I feel like that would be a bigger challenge for the LPL than it was to pick it.

The problem with most lock companies is that they are in business NOT for actual security but to SELL their locks! So if they can make a lock with 13 flipping pins, which most people would think of unpickable and high security, or advertise as such just to give ppl a false sense of security to sell cheap locks for a very high price....well that's what they do. Its all about the ILLUSION of security and safety. Big huge padlocks, fansy laser cut key, branding as unpickable, etc. All designed to fool the consumer into buying their product for high security. Its sad but by god it works and they damn well know it! Great vid btw! I one day hope to have your picking skills and start a career of my own! (And if not, have a skill set guaranteed to have a use! Lol)

The dramatic reveal of the other side of the key was great. Really interesting video!

I would really like to see how you reassemble the lock, especially those springs and driver pins.

I like you videos on all of the locks you pick and even the ones that don’t require much picking. Have you ever thought about designing a unique lock that would be a real challenge even to yourself? If you do I would probably buy a few.

I love that you don't have the click baits. So many others would have fat letters on the thumbnail saying 13 pins!!!! But you have it in brackets in the title.

I've been watching for just a few weeks and it's highly entertaining. I haven't seen one yet of you putting them locks back together. :) If I didn't already have too many hobbies...

What an amazing lock :-) the key reminds me of the Illinois high security wafer lock

190 second pick. Yep, that's a lock.

I enjoy your videos, you don't have some ridiculous intro and simply get right to work. 👍

I don't know or want to know anything about lockpicking, but all I learned from watching you and your videos is that this is the best lock so far...

This is more fun than 9th grade biology class where we dissected a frog.

Basic key lock of the future maybe? It didn't exactly make it impossible to pick, but you sure wouldn't want to have to pick in any kind of a hurry, and if you didn't know what you were doing it would be practically impossible to pick. Also having the side rows means having to pick it twice in mid turn! Definitely a challenge to the uninitiated.

It almost sounded like the lock was gunna win. Been watching a while just started searching the archives. I think this is the first time I’ve heard you sound even remotely confused.

4:18 this is the first time I hear LPL say "I have no idea"... I want to buy this lock!

Locking Picking Lawyer, "no clue what's holding us up.." That means definitely install these cylinders on your house...

Great video. The flats on the side pins line up with the bitting on the center of the key, to allow it in between the 2 side rows.

Another great video but I sure wouldn't want to be the one to put it all back together lol. This lock does have some great potential in becoming a very nice challenge lock.

I'd like to see a video of you reassembling a lock after tweezing all the driver pins out... that seems painful.

Long time lurker, first comment. Awesome video. Hoped for more from this lock, but ultimately, not surprised! Love your channel!

i would have liked to see some raking! most of these locks with lots of pins seem to be vulnerable to raking since they're all standard pins and seem to be cheaply made. it doesn't take much imagination as a lock manufacturer to simply say "we'll add more pins!", because there's plenty of 5 and 6 pin locks that can give you a huge run for your money.

This needs the “Ode To Joy” music from the movie Die Hard when the lock opens. 🤣

Do you think you would have a hard time figuring out what was going on with this lock if you encountered it without knowing it's configuration?

I was just watching your video about rekeying a lock and adding master disc that fall into holes so if someone uses the old key it gets stuck half turn in and was thinking "why not add another row so its harder to pick" i guess someone already invented my idea and it only took you a few extra seconds to repick the side row. Guess i wont quit my job and start making locks lol

Maybe you have done it before, but as someone who knows nothing about picking and bloody little about locks I would love to see a video explaining all the different pins function and styles.

Thanks for sharing your skills and hobby mate

Put a set of security pins into it, and it would be much more challenging. Thanks for this interesting one.

Looks like a dentist at work, with those tools and "one is loose, three is loose..." ha ha

Mad skills as always. thank you for the time efficient knowledge my friend. You and BosBill are my favorites in regards to locksport. Keep your mind on the money and your money in your shoe. Thank you again.

did you ever tought about being a dentist?

That key is wild. I'm pretty new to this, so, this one surprised me greatly. Great video, as always.

I Am hooked on these videos!

Thank you. This saved us 7 locks and mums disappointed looks.

Can you buy them somewhere?! PLZ?!?! :) I need one in my life.

When physicist Richard Feynman was working on the Manhattan Project (first atomic bomb) in Los Alamos, he frequently liked to work late into the night. But he often needed access to colleague's top secret files after everyone had gone home - so he learned how to pick locks - in America's most secure, top secret facility. He rapidly mastered lock picking, and things were going fine until one day when a colleague returned unexpectedly and found his office and classified files had been accessed by someone. When that happened, Feynman had to confess to his "dastardly deeds" and get a set of keys like a normal person.

It could be interesting to see the bumping of this lock. I suppose that may be easier than picking the pins one by one, considering equal springs and a lack of anti-bump features.

6:07 "Now let's get a follower, and hopefully this doesn't give us too much trouble". 1000th time I hear LPL say this, and also the 1000th time it's followed by the core smoothly slipping out of the sleeve like it has 0 friction and accompanied by the most satisfactory of 'clicks'.

Great work once again. What a beautiful lock. And I bet it was a very hard reassembly.

I've got to say I really enjoyed seeing you have to work harder than usual to pick this lock...and also working harder than usual to gut the lock. I've got massive respect to the Chinese designer who came up with that and for the factory workers who assemble the locks. it is a shame the lock company did well with the design, but got a bit lazy with the pins. I bet that locksport people could repin one of those locks and make it put up a much bigger fight. Is there any chance you could stick three rakes together to see if this lock is vulnerable to that sort of attack or to some sort of three-way bump key exploit? One other thing. I'm left wondering how they can cut keys for this sort of lock, at a locksmith. Is there any chance you or your friend can locate a video of a Chinese locksmith showing us a blank and cutting a key from it?

i think the big thing with this video would have been you showing us how you managed to put it back together.

Very interesting lock. Cool to see it picked and you did great gutting it. A locksmith shop inside there.

You can see this is a hand fitted lock by the filing on the shear line and rounded and rough edges on the side bottom pins.

Over 3 minutes for LPL. Unpickable for an average locksmith. That's a good lock!

Awesome pick on a really cool lock. Such a shame they didn't add a couple spools and make a 6 pin.

Security pins and threaded pinholes, and make it a challenge lock :)

That thing looks insanely awesome inside.

If the right pins almost have to fall into the left holes when opening/turning (even with the key) doesn't that require that the left and right bittings be symmetrical or that ONE right bitting be always higher?

6:21 Such a lovely little sound

because of watching you i started to think about investing into a better lock i wish house i live in would be mine because i would invest into better door aswell

Amazing job of picking, as usual. What is in the side chambers that keeps the flat sides of those pins aimed toward the center of the keyway, and not spinning around? In the top down view of the plug (core) starting at 12:17 it looks like there's something that would prevent the pins from turning, but it's hard to see what. At around 12:34 there seems to be something inside the side holes, but I can't figure out how they would be able to put something in those tiny holes that could reliably stop the pins from spinning around. Thinking that it's hard to drill D-shaped holes and that it should be something easy to make on an assembly line, I thought perhaps the manufacturer drilled the side holes first, then drilled a hole down the center and put a round rod in from the back through the length of the plug to partially block the side holes, and then drilled the holes for the central row of pins. What do you think?

The automated advert for this video was for 'Kinetica K4' door cylinder locks. Apparently 'british designed'. I'm doubtful of the quality of this, if the advert is anything to go by. (Not sure what some random bloke thumping a punch bag has to do with actual security). So it would be great for LPL to test one of them.

Thirteen pins in 3 rows makes for a difficult to pick lock. The time it took to pick this lock was over 3 minutes for the LockPicking Lawyer who is an expert in picking locks. In another video the LockPickingLawyer picked an ultra secure Kwikset Lock in 20 seconds. This Chinese lock would make a much better lock on a home than a Kwikset Lock.

What a wonderful lock. Just a shame everything was 'standard' inside. I'd have liked to see an unusual lock like this that made LPL sweat a bit 🤭

That is a beautiful looking core, tolerances didn't look so great, little bit waggly looking (might be the detent and ball though) overall a nice effort and against most people it would probably provide decent security against picking. As a side benefit as it would be just as awkward to pick closed you'd probably know someone had attacked your lock. Tricky gut too!

Amazing lock, and I would say that it just goes to show that the pin-tumbler has become an obsolete design -- however you also opened the Abus Granit disc detainer padlock -- so now I don't know what to think.

What I found interesting. Is LPL is defintely an expert, and he was doing this in a controlled environment with prior knowledge about the lock. And he still struggled. Imagine some guy with a basic pick set trying to pick this lock

I want to see the re-assembly of this lock.

PLEASE Mr LPL, what affordable residencial pick resistant dead bolt do you think I should "take a look at" for my family home?👍 Thumbs up and subscribed!

Fill it with steel security pins, give it an ultra tight super obnoxious keyway and you'd have a lock good enough to slow somebody down.

What prevents the sidepins from turning? The flat side should always face to the center to let the key passing through. But, as the holes are round, the pins could turn.

Video length : 13mins 15 sec First thought : oooo this must be the locks they use in AREA 51

On this one, it would have been nice to get a close up shot of the core through the bottom of the keyway towards the holes for the pins. It’s so wide open that unlike almost any other lock you’d actually see something.

6:52 you can get those shims for free by cutting open security / theft prevention tags on some products you purchase

Great job picking as always brother and thanks for sharing

More than 2 minutes for LPL to open it ?? Now that's a lock I can trust my family and stuff to. The tough part would be getting key duplicates, though!

Didja EVER notice how much that he sounds like a Dentist? That's GREAT!
