[1420] Worst Kept Secret in Security… It’s All Keyed Alike

[JohnR]

Key is faster, unless it’s masterlock

LPL has made the entire world realize a duct-taped door is more secure than most of our locks!

[ENCHANTMEN_]

You know it's bad when "using the correct key" is considered an exploit

[douglasboyle]

When you pulled out that ring of common keys I immediately recognized the brass C415A as one that opens just about every file cabinet, key box, desk drawer, etc I've ever seen. That number is seared on my brain.

The airplane keys are less anti-theft and more of a safety mechanism. They prevent an unintentional starting of the engine. You do not need a key to start an aircraft engine, especially a bush planes.

Dang, as a kid I always wondered how companies would manufacture millions of different key-ways and keys on a big scale. Now I know that they just... don't.

[michaeldiamond]

LPL, I'm always fascinated by the locks you produce from your "collection." How about doing a video showing us your collection and how you store and catalogue them ?

"oh hey, security company, what's the password to this airplane?"
"Isn't it obvious? *It's the same as the other 70 million devices we make."*

OMG, so this explains the key I had back in the 1980's. I had a small key (thanks to this video I now know that it was an Ch751) that would open any lock that it would fit into. I have been telling friends about that "magic key" for the 40 some intervening years. Thanks for clearing that up for me LPL!

I’m assuming this man is not allowed into any casinos, banks, or prisons

The CH751 is also used on almost every camper/RV for the outside storage cubbies.

One of the best examples I've seen is the Simplex "B" key, every fire alarm panel, time clock or electrical cabinet they have made took the same key. You could take a key out of a new box and open a 70 year old lock with it. Another good one is CH751, which has been used on truck and van toolbox setups for decades. They're more like detachable handles than keys

I just wanted to say, I ordered something from your website (covert instruments) and it shipped, and arrived in a very timely manner. So I would just like to thank you for that.
In a time where things are often shipped late / get delayed or lost. This was a breathe of fresh air. I appreciate the effort you put fourth, in both your videos and products.

Most of the time, the comments on LPL’s videos talk about how they look forward to when the lock manufacturer includes a rake as a key. With this video, LPL has single-handedly shown us that we’ve been looking at this the wrong way: who needs to have a rake as a key when your key can be the rake?

[crschoen]

I don't think it's as much about security as it is access control. These locks aren't being used to protect something valuable. They're used to make sure the operator is being intentional about their use.

I clean for a living in a hospital and have found that the little metal key that opens the metal wall mounted paper towel dispensers will also run our new trash compacter! Found out totally by accident.

[notmyname]

The point of these keys is not to prevent theft. It's so that someone doesn't accidentally start the machine/plane/etc. without willful intent. The manufacturer wants you to insert something and then purposefully rotate it for the machine to turn on. It's just an "On/off" button that has a built-in "are you sure?" mechanism.

[joermnyc]

One day LPL will sell a real “key to everything” that the Janitor made on the old TV series “Scrubs.” (It unlocked every lock in the hospital and even started the main character’s Vespa.

This actually happened to me and my father as a mistake, we had a rendez-vous with a client (on a workplace that we had the keys) on the 5th floor but by mistake we went to the 6th, my dad had the keys, he put them on the door and opened the door, our workplace had no furniture but the 6th floor had people in it (furnished), we were so shocked, we started saying 'hi, anyone there?' and the owner came, she was so shocked.. someone random just opened her door lol.
The keys fit so perfectly that we thought we were at the right spot. Its kinda scary that you can open other peoples doors with random keys
