could you like do a tutorial on what everything inside a lock is and what you're actually doing when you pick a lock?
Michel Auron
My guess is that it's to do with the attacks that are current. Thieves, unless they need to get in and out totally undetected, are always going to go for the weakest link, and with the ease of access to easily portable rotary cutting tools, drills, hydraulic jacking equipment, liquid nitrogen, etc, a fast destructive attack is far easier than bothering to pick a lock; they don't need to learn how to pick a lock. All your lock needs to do to meet its requirements is to push the casual thief to the next target. If you can't pick it by farting in its general direction, it's good to go. Someone who has specifically targetted your stuff, and needs to go in covertly, will find someone sufficiently skilled to pick or bypass your lock no matter what. LPL shows that; nothing that can be "officially" unlocked without showing it's been done is immune to the same thing being done covertly. Previously, destructive attacks were jemmy or bolt croppers, which are less easy to conceal, and at the time less easy to explain. So thieves had to learn to pick, and locks had to be more resistant to picking attacks.

The one thing I've learned from LPL is to never buy a lock from a box store. I will go to a locksmith and ask for the lock that smiths have the most trouble picking. And I will pay whatever.....even a few seconds can make the difference between me holding my shotgun to the perp's head or being the victim.

A question came to my mind seeing you picking these locks: Would it be possible to destinktly see these looks have been tempered with without using the right key? After all you said you needed more torque if I understood correctly. So: Are there any traces of tempering after you or someone else looked inside that would clarify: This lock has been picked?

Hey LPL, Do you think you could design a lock that is unpickable or very close to it? Also, what is the biggest common factor in all pickable locks? i.e. do they all have a specific common weakness in the design that could be redesigned into a perfect lock?

I find it upsetting that things are getting worse rather than better. Locks, lumber, cast-iron, appliances, etc. Capitalism at work using cheaper materials with less complicated mechanisms. That, and manufactured obsolescence... because if you make a product that lasts a lifetime, you've lost a customer. The only thing getting better is tech and meds, but we're reaching a point at which the same thing is going to start happening for those fields, too. I'm no Commie, but Capitalism sucks.

It did not take LPL much longer to pick a Chubb Battleship padlock a few years ago. These have 6 levers and seem stronger than the ERA padlock. Now, here is a challenge for LPL. ERA has (presumably still has) a much larger version of this padlock which was listed in the Guinness Book of Records in the late 1970's as the largest padlock in the world. It was made by apprentices at the ERA works but not put in production. I actually saw it in the window of a locksmiths shop in Guildford, UK years ago. Perhaps LPL could ask ERA if he could borrow that padlock. Freight charges could be a bit steep though. Unfortunately there seems to be no picture of this padlock on the internet.
