Hey guys, I just bought my first lock picking set and this is my first day, I don't have a feel yet and I need some advise on how to develop that. On top of that I tried to pick my own back door but the pick won't even go in the lock halfway, any advise?
I have this lock (came with my 63 rockwell hardness chain), everything is 100% the same expect its not branded. This lock is so bad I can take the back side of my pick (flat surface) and 'rake' it open. Ended up replacing with with the mul-t-lock SBNE12.
I’ve been watching a ton of your videos having only found your channel recently... must admit you seem as talented as some locks are crap. Love the education, and completely blitzed the other day I went on a tirade about how bad the average gun lock is, based on your videos. So, three sheets to the wind I was challenged to prove my claim. Having never picked a lock in my life (and with no shotgun involved) I successfully picked a mossberg chamber lock with only two paper clips (in my mind I was emulating your wave rake technique). Took me a few minutes, but considering my condition and complete lack of skill, I’m absolutely shocked how bad they really are. You definitely make it look easy, but I never actually believed when you say it takes little to no skill until I tried.
I find it hard to gauge where these locks should fit on the spectrum of price/quality. Obviously a cheaper lock won't be good but is it as good as it should be for the price. There may also be some logic to making some locks that prioritise other features over their pick resistance (not sure what that logic is but it seems possible).
Has LPL designed any locks or have plans to? He features so many bad locks on his channel that working with a company to design a better lock seems like a no brainer for lock companies... Although LPL would be putting his reputation on the line if he couldn't help to design a really impressive lock or the company refused to implement all of his design features.
Can you comment on where you get that c clip removal tool? I have seen you use it in other videos, and could really use it in my business here. some turntables we work on have a similar type clip. thanks for any help.
So, I recently bought a brand-new £1000 bicycle (then I bought a £12 lock (temporarily), but on the packaging it said unbreakable untouchable and secure by 10/10 So, I messaged you on Facebook with the pictures of the lot, but I managed to pick that lock with a pair of scissors, so I was just wondering if you could have a look at the Facebook messenger and see what you think?
Poor Viro is like a boy about to be spanked when his father tells him what a disappointment he has been. It would be amusing to find something locked up with this and pick it open and then rel9ock it obviously in a different way.

Hey LPL, can you try to open the Reach 2 handgun lock by Vara Safety?
ive been picking locks for years, but today was the first time it came in handy, my cuz locked his keys in a garage with a padlock, took about 3 mins to pick it, its so different doing it for a reason than just playing around, thank you for getting me into lockpicking its finally been useful lol
When doing things like this and raking open the core do you need the turning tool? I remember one video where you did not use it, what features warrant using a turning tool over being able to go without? Could you have opened this lock without a turning tool?
Have you ever thought of starting a network of practice locks for locksport? Essentially a group of like minded individuals sharing a bunch of locks to pick. I would be willing to help set something up if there is interest. Website, database, etc... new to sport, just a idea.
Hey LPL, so for my Understanding you use a picking tool which everybody can buy ? or what is this thing ? so its looke like that every lock makes no sense cause everybody can pick it in seconds... or is this just for pros like you ? pls help
LPL, you’re gonna have to put a quick link on screen whilst you’re describing where we can buy these tools... it took you 3 seconds to mention where to get them, and only 2 seconds to rake the lock!
