never in my life I thought I would be interested in watching locks video but you are good

[Choice]

the sarcasm is high in this one regarding the master lock.

Funny story: Back in the early 90s I was a grad student in forensic psychology/criminology. I was a poor student driving an old beat up truck. One wheel had a bent wheel & the tire was dry rotted. I got a new (well, used but new to me) wheel & tire. I threw the old one in the bed of my truck. I figured someone would steal it & save me the hassle of throwing it away. Months went by & sure enough, my old wheel was still riding around with me everywhere I went. 
A friend, and fellow student suggested I put a chain & lock on it. We all got a good laugh from that but we decided to try it. My old tire & wheel was becoming a running joke at this point. We put a cheesy chain & lock on it & started a betting pool on how long it would take to get stolen. Everybody was guessing 1 to 3 months. It was gone a week after locking it up. lol I have always wondered what would happen if we did that 100 times. Was it a freak exception, or could that be reproduced? 
We will never know. lol Just try & get funding for a study like that.

This video was obviously made before the now famous “Pick that BosnianBill and I made”.

[TSAlpha]

I remember when I first started watching your videos, thinking those disc-detainer locks would never be pickable. Now I see you and LPL do it all the time.

[AKindChap]

I have a very short attention span, yet somehow you kept me hooked with a 15 minute video about locks...

[christopherguy]

Funny how much has changed in the seven years since this video was made.
Back in 2013 you said having never seen a disk detainer Abloy style lock been picked to 2020 where Sparrows has just released a tool that you and the Lock Picking Lawyer created for picking these exact locks.

You've really advanced your skills over the years.

I think Master Lock is the best. Well, if you forget the key you still can open it. Nice feature.

[lolman]

So, this is sponsored by Master Lock to tell em that their locks are bullshit
Awesome.

[RockoDSS]

I have nothing to lock, but still I watched the whole video, very informative.

[stvn]

I locked up a huffy bicycle with a $100. dollar lock. they stole the lock and left the bike lol

[superezbz]

I'll never buy a Master Lock again.

[rogeronslow]

Some of those locks are so expensive they may get picked for the lock itself!

[paherbst]

Please do an update of this video. You say that the disc detainer locks aren't pickable, but now they are. I'd like to know your opinion on what's currently available.

[TheUnPlayable]

Funny as you start going up in the lock quality, you start seeing european designs.

[El_Chompo]

"I've never known anybody to be able to pick this lock"

and then

"Moving up in security, if you want something that's even harder to pick"

[chrisflores]

i thought you were gonna pick the cuffs lol

[keymanduff]

Been a locksmith for 45 years this video is highly done I recommend and put together well. Nice job

bosnianbill I have been enjoying your channel and this one show is by far the best.I worked years ago for a "securing" company and they issued lock by the case.The locks came in  10 different codes and some times 1 only, 100 locks at a time. People buy houses and never think to change the locks, now I am not about to try it, but I bet in any given city you could find 10000 or more houses with the same lock set on them and all the keys fit. People CHANGE your locks when you buy a house, there could be 10s of thousand people who could have the same key as yours.So many times I could just one of 10 keys to open a "secured" place/thing or fit close enough to tap/bump open in seconds.
As shown here on this channel, raking, shimming, bumping locks and picking is not very hard once you get the hang of it.Locks are for honest people, if you live, store stuff, where your going to have to worry about it getting stolen .buy the most expensive lock you can find.
My interest in lock came at a young age of 10 and found out how simple it was to open my own word locks and such tumbler ones( even the 8 number) .I never stole any bikes but used to open a whole rack of bikes at school. and sit a wait to see the look on friends faces when the came to pick up thier bikes and they were all unlocked.I did get in a bit of trouble for it but even the school agreed people needed to get better locks for thier kids bikes when a 10 yr old can beat 20 locks in 5 min.
Watch ep 184 and you will see.
PS The Internet was as si fi as starwars was in the 70's LOL So no I didn't learn that way.
EDIT my insurance agent suggested I put a dead bolt on my sliding glass door on his last "inspection" I have a river rock edged garaden( 5 feet away)whats your opinion for a lock to suite this application, would the dead bold help LMFAO

[urhighness]

I like how you make it much easier to pick a lock...


I'll just show myself out.
