[1434] Inside Perspective On “Comb Picking”

[KevinT]

Just watched this with my wife and said out loud "I should really order his Covert Companion set." She got a sheepish look on her face, left the room, came back and handed me a padded kraft envelope with our address on it, saying "I know it's not quite your birthday yet, but I don't want you to go out and order it on your own, so..."

I'm a lucky man.

This is the cleanest and most reproducible demonstration on how to exploit a lock by comb picking.
Well done and perfectly demonstrated!

"Inside Perspective" series definitely shows why those previous lock pickings were "not a fluke"

[dresdencook]

This has blown my mind. The fact that some locks are this easy to pick, and can be done with out to much focus means you can pick these types of locks with people around. And then comb picks are so simple so you could just make one or get one for cheap.

This is exceptional. And looking at it, it's genuinely hard to imagine how this exploit still exists. As you just demonstrated, it only takes 2 minutes to fully and completely educate someone on how to avoid this issue, yet, 90 years later, it's still around. Incredible.

I find it especially interesting that the lock appears to have spool pins, but then is defeated by such a basic issue.

Props to the machinist that sculpted that cut-away. 😍

This series is great. Additionally, I hope that LPL produces another awesome video for what has become an April 1st tradition.

"ONLY when the key is inserted..."
LPL needs to watch some LPL vids..

Love this series, very insightful without ruining the format.

The lock picking lawyer is the realest guy on YouTube he gives you nothing more and nothing less than what he says he will and what he does give you is exactly what he said he will every single time without fail

The Comb Pick: When you need to open a Masterlock at 8PM but look stylish by 8PM and 10 seconds.

I didn't know what comb picking was until your talk at that security conference, but this perfectly explains the mechanics behind it. Combing really is the skeleton key in all those stories.

Incredible to actually see it working! I love the "Inside Perspective" series, can't wait for a video on a disc detainer core!!

[EnsignRedshirtRicky]

Masterlock, making the same, easy to pick lock for the last 100 years!

[levigraves]

I love the cutaway series just like everyone else! Can you show what happens when a lock gets bricked from picking? I would love to see what that actually means through a cutaway.

It's amazing how much I feel like I can learn about locks, security, and design in a 2 minute video like this. Thank you for continuing this series; before I would have scoffed and said, oh, yeah, comb picking, that's obvious how it works, it just lifts the pins out of the way. But seeing it in action makes it all the more clear how and why it works and how one might prevent it.

[fwmh]

That was an excellent explanation. I probably will never pick a lock but I find your videos fascinating - Thank you

[nobodynemoq]

These new videos from you, showing how exactly lockpicking works, are simply BRILLIANT! Now everything becomes so clear and easy to understand... Thank you!

[BaronFirespawn]

I had always wondered how the comb prongs didn't also go above the shear line and stop the core from turning, but it makes sense that they're simply too wide to fit. Thank you for this series!

[coleramus]

I'm really enjoying this inside-the-lock series. I was fascinated before, but now it's like a light bulb has gone off and I understand!
