LUCAN Metal Products LTD was an Israeli company established in 1980 and is registered as no longer in business (probably closed shop in the 80's). There's very little information about it, but the address ("Esser Tachanot st") no longer exists because it was renamed to Raoul Wallenberg st. many years ago. Fun fact: It was located near a historical site from the Ottoman period called 'Esser Tachanot' ("10 flour mills") which is now a busy office/industrial area.
About the Soviet design: there was a large Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union to Israel in the 70's, with many having industrial and engineering education/background. I can only imagine it has something with the company or the padlock's design.
This is indeed a rare find and looks in excellent condition. sorry I couldn't find more info on the company or its products.

Well, to be honest, this lock resisted more than every Master lock I've ever seen getting picked on this channel.

You teased us with the carrot claim, you cant leave us hanging.

Must be saving the video on "shoving my carrot hard into the hole" for April 1st.

Though mechanically simple, it took LPL 1:52 to pick. Compared to most locks, that makes this one fairly secure.

what happened to the carrot
Edit: How on earth did i get this many likes

That lock getting picked actually sounded like the theatrical representation of a lock getting picked. Chunky and loud.
Very satisfying.

3:14 While I did indeed get the impression from your description that what you were doing was not in any way difficult, I do think it worth noting how freaking LONG it took even you to do it.

Took longer to pick than most modern locks!

We are here for the carrot not the tiny stick.

We need a carrot demonstration! I'm from the former USSR country, I've seen such lock many times. Never heard about carrot method, but now I'm intrigued! I don't have such locks, but if you will not show us the carrot, I will have to buy a lock and try myself...

He metaphorically dangled a carrot in front of us.

I noticed that you struggled considerably on this lock. My advice as a non lawyer and a non lock picker is to try wedging a carrot in there. I heard this from some lawyer who happens to pick locks for a living. You should give it a try and see if the results improve

LPL's carrot is very thin, rather short, and is sold as a part of Covert Instruments.

I'm joining the carrot demanding gang and asking nicely, to see the carrot impression attack at least tried!

Good luck picking this style of lock in normal conditions. We had rack lock in our garage and it was little bit rusty. And to open it my father need to put all his weight to push key into it.

I really like seeing these unusual locks!

This padlock seems to have a carrot defeating mechanism

Man, I love this channel.
I never even knew this type of locking mechanism existed!
