[1436] Inside Perspective on Picking Disc Detainer Locks

[martinmarkmarkovics]

"Isn't quite as good as we'd all like"?! How on earth could be explained better than that?! It was AWESOME!

[Texas_Swift]

Definitely had a “Well, duh, that makes sense” moment while watching this one. Seeing it happen is somehow completely different than having one disassembled and explained. Great vid!

Your “Inside Perspective” series is fantastic. I had NO idea what a disc detainer lock was like before this. This video made it so clear.

LPL: "This bar that runs along the side, also known as 'the side bar'."
Me: nodding along like the expert I am

[davidneal]

I've learned two things today - what it looks like when picking a disc detainer lock, and that I'd like LPL to consider a second career narrating audiobooks.

[SasquatchPJs]

This view very clearly shows the mechanism and picking process. I definitely feel like I understand this type of lock now for future videos.

[fat_head_Carl]

That really drives the concept home... Excellently done.

[Mebibit]

When you turned all of the discs clockwise, it immediately clicked why you do this on every lock.

I know you've explained it in the past, but seeing it makes it make way more sense.

This cutaway series is hands down the best way I have ever seen to understand different types of locks. This was awesome. Thank you, LPL!

[LucenProject]

LPL's commitment to not wasting his viewers time combined with this new Inside Perspective series he's been doing is reaching an incredible level of efficiency when it comes to helping understand lockpicking. I have enjoyed his videos and started to gain an understand of the order of steps, but this video really expanded that understanding by leaps and bounds in under 4 and a half minutes!!

Seeing the mechanics in action makes all the difference. We have jumped from “theory” to “in practice”. It answers a million questions.

[LMacNeill]

Seriously, this “inside perspective” series is the best, most informative series of videos you’ve ever made. I have learned so much more about lockpicking with this series than I have with your other videos. Thank you so much for posting them!! Kudos!!

[cmonkey]

I'm really liking these 'inside' views of locks. Please make more of them.

[marshalln]

That was strangely, extremely satisfying to watch the false gates go to true gates. Must be satisfying to feel it happen as the person picking the lock

[matthewerspamer]

This man is single-handedly improving an entire industry. Unbelievable.

[Waterdust]

These help bring perspective to the process, regardless. Keep making them.

Though.. I am curious how dimple locks are going to look in this series.

[dexteri]

Finally! Now I understand what happens inside. Now there are only two things needs further explaining: What is zero cut, and how you decide if a lock is tensioned from the front, or from the back.

[theplatitudefromouterspace]

I was actually hoping for an explanation on disc detainers. One of the types of lock I found it hard to visualise the mechanism for. Nifty stuff LPL!

[RuthTheBananaDuck]

The inner workings of locks always seemed sort of magical before but now they make solid sense and that is magical in and of itself! :D

[psyachu]

I wasn't sure what I expected from a disc detainer lock, but it wasn't quite this. I definitely didn't know about the bar that moved, but I didn't know what would be in there.

LPL, I have to say that, even if I'm not a lockpicker, I absolutely love your videos just for the sake of curiosity and I especially love this Inside Perspective series you're doing. It makes all these locks make sense now on how they work and it's just super intriguing. Thank you for making these, especially with such a soothing voice.
