These techniques are scarily easy! Thank goodness we have moved on with lock technology on cars. 😀 You said the 6 disk tool wouldn't work on the Jaguar lock but would the Jaguar 8 disk tool work on the Ford lock?
@Oliver T Jag-u-are is the correct pronunciation in the UK. LPL is American, and the correct pronunciation in the US is Jag-war. And honestly, both are wrong, since the originators of the word were Portugese settlers in SA, their Js are pronounced as H. Like Hahg-war or something similar.
The 60s French film Le Samuraï (a superb film in it's own right) contains a scene where the protagonist uses a huge set of keys to start a stolen Citroën DS, surely there's an easier way and more discreet way to start the ignition? If i can find i clip, I'll post it, but i believe it's worth watching simply because it's a great film too, but the huge set of keys he carries around with him is simply ridiculous!
There are only 3 positions for each of the wafers, unlike the Ford variant that has 4. The key blanks themselves have a slightly different tip shape, as an aside. When I first started autolocksmithing there were none of these "Caterpillar" picks, so we had set each wafer using a pick. For other vehicle locks we used scopes to decode the locks, and make keys that way. Perhaps a scoping video might be instructional...
Can someone point out the letter "W" in JagUar? Like the double "O's" in HUrun, sorry YouToob. Do American's think use of letter "U" will summon Satan?. Jagwar! Give me a break!!!
My only comment is that the Jaguar Key has a CHIP in it. It must be programmed to start the car. I had a new key made for my 1999 XJ8 Vanden Plas; it fits and turns just fine, but it won't start the car. The dealer wants $200+ to program the key! I said No and still use my original key. Lol!
How do you pick a lock on a Ford? Straight blade screwdriver works just like a key every time. Easy-peasy. Not to mention opening with a "key" also shuts off the security system. I filled all my locks in with glue - right up to the top. At least that will require a LITTLE effort by some jerk breaking in.
hey lpl, i have a question in those cases where you come across an interesting or unusual lock/core can you gut them? like you did in the past thanks !
I'd like to see you pick it with your generic disk detainer lock tool. I presume Jaguar was using thse in addition to some electronic security as well in the recent years which they used them.
Hi, I couldn’t decode one of these, however I managed to take it apart with a small screwdriver and reset the code. www.masterlock.eu/home-personal/product/8229EURDPRO
Why are you showing people how to pick locks? I understand it's with the intention to give buyers awareness to the fact that locks have flaws but robbers are more inclined to watch these videos than potential buyers. Potential buys are relying on the inherent security of them to give them peace of mind. You are just giving robbers more of an advantage and not protecting the consumer.
My first car, a Ford Escort, had that kind of lock. My mom was borrowing my car one day and managed to unlock, start and drive half the way home with a different Ford 😂
So for obvious reason's you can use the 6-disc tool when there is 8-disc, but would the other way work (ie. using the 8-disc tool for a 6-disc lock), or said otherwise, does the tool have to match the locked in disc count exactly or does the tool just have to have the same or more disc than the lock?
Over all these years LPL destroyed many locks and companies and build his reputation to finally bring out his own lock! Give it to us, the only one lock we need and we can trust in !
