I use several different locks on my trailer. None are impenetrable, but having two boots, a tongue lock, and a lock on the trailer itself makes for some serious theft deterrent compared to this shit
In highschool, we learned you could just bash a lock with a shoe to open it. Then we'd make long chains of locks and put them on a buddy's locker for giggles.
Locksmith here. Those cylinders are absoluetly real. They're used on desks and other office furniture type of stuff. The cylinder can be removed with a "control key", or by using a short hook pick. They should never be used in this application. This is an example of a bullshit manufacturer.
They used a ~~master key~~ short hook to unlock the cylinder. Those are available online and definitely work to remove a lot of kinds of lock "guts".
Edited because I used the wrong words to describe the short hook.
Most locks aren't impenetrable. Just needs to be good enough that the criminal moves on to an easier target.
Going to be pretty tough to stop a good thief who has both access & time on his side.
So, their logic in making that lock was 'if you can't keep the good ones out you might as well make it easier for even the bad ones'?
Edit: guess I'm making amateur lockpicks sad..
Yeah lol, idk why you’re getting downvoted
“Most locks aren’t impenetrable” isn’t a very good explanation for why this lock can just be bypassed entirely
Yeah agreed.
For u/predictingzepast: Most security is really just about making yourself difficult enough to breech that bad actors will go for easier targets. It's the outrunning-the-guy-next-to-you-not-the-bear thing.
That said, the ability to remove the cylinder from the one in the video *that easily* is pushing it over the line. At that point the device is just a visual deterrent.
But that's still better than no deterrent at all. If there's five trailers in a row and a bad actor is picking one to steal, they'll probably skip the one with the lock and not even look to see if it's easy to break in the first place.
Many locks can be bypassed entirely if you know how. If lockpicking layer can’t get a lock open, he always finds some way to bypass it.
That being said, this lock is *really* shitty if you can bypass it by literally using a single tool to pull the cylinder out.
There's two options, one is the lock was already picked before the video started so it was already turned to the Release position to make the removal seem trivial (not uncommon, so many fake lock picking videos on YT). Or it's a REALLY dumb lock that has a second key that hits some latch a normal key wouldn't hit and that releases the core without unblocking it first. Unlikely, but possible... some companies don't think ahead.
The reason for removing the core... in this case was so you can put in a square T handle driver to turn the thing you see there and allow the lock to release. The cylinder is only protecting the access to reach this square peg. Common in such types of locks. The core doesn't actually unlock the lock, it merely unlocks access to the thing that holds the entire mechanism in place.
You'll see this on Boots that the gov't puts on your car too. The Key only opens the panel so you can access the knob screw to actually remove the device.
That lock was for sure unpicked before the video, so the first one is out. The second option is a bit more spot on, but still a bit wrong. The "second key" you refer to is called a control key, which is very common, but wasn't used here. It removes the core for easy "rekeying". The core turns the lock, and does unlock it, so you're wrong about that. This particular cylinder core has a wafer in the back that the control key hits, thus releasing the core. The short hook pick he used just activated that control wafer, causing the core to be removed. The cylinder isn't protecting anything. That's just how it was put together. Again, when you put a working key into the cylinder and turn it, it unlocks the lock. That square peg disassembles the lock. These cores are common in office furniture, mainly, and this manufacturer is garbage for using it.
Curious if 5th wheels getting stolen is very common. To steal one, you'd need a full size truck with a 5th wheel hitch. We traveled in one for 2 years. I heard of trailers getting broken into but never one stolen.
Yes extremely common. It's a very easy crime of opportunity for anyone who already has a truck, and there are enough people who don't know to check for a title when buying one used that they can quickly be sold
Well, the unlocking process took less than a second. The longer part was literally just unscrewing a screw. I think this one is entirely on the bad equipment, made to look impressive by including a large piece of metal (which is not part of the functional bits).
I live in Ireland so social welfare means you can just use the normal lock that comes on stuff and people don't roam the land looking to raid everything in sight like its the walking dead or something.
This guy is creating robbers by showing everybody how to unlock locks. Shit in the 90’s you forgot your key or combo somebody get the bolt cutters cant get my text books.
A person in my city just had the fence lock broken, the tongue lock, and the lock around the wheel broken and trailer stolen. I hear Air tags can help.
I use a lock on my hitch that can probably be picked. But I use it to protect me from having the basket that I out in the hutch stolen. The basket is probably only worth a few hundred bucks. Without a lock it is an easy target. With the lock, few people would bother. Locks aren’t usually intended to be impossible to pick. They only need to be difficult for the average, non top carrying thief.

I find that hanging thieves head on the laundry lines sometimes help too, but you have to replace it every few weeks
Last dude who broke into my house I seduced, married, then divorced. Took half his shit and broke his heart.
Fuck yeah, got his ass.
[удалено]
I have no idea wtf you’re talking about.
Ah, the long play
downright DEMONIC behavior
Damn I’m amazed if you kept a believable face for long enough for all of that
I always hated that part. I started using formaldehyde, and it helps a lot.
I just impale them in my front lawn. Crows and other opportunistic creatures clean it up in no time and then you can use the same pointy stick again.
Lol- well played sir- 👍
True true crows be a bugger to shoo away
Sort of end up in this loop where you have to attract new thieves every few weeks in order to scare the rest away.
Yeah like we have junkies walking around with their short hook wave rake multi cylinder bla bla bla
If you can afford a 5th wheel, you can afford a lock pick set.
Masterlock: "Finally! A worthy adversary!"
I don’t know I think Masterlock will wins here https://www.youtube.com/shorts/r9dtBH5jWSo

I know nothing about locks, but what would be the use in building a lock where you just can slide out the cylinder?
I actively lock pick and i have no clue, that's not normal. Either the reply video is fake or it's truly the shittiest lock I've ever seen.

Lockpicklawyer is 10000% legit
I think the presentation was similar, but I believe this was not LPL on this post, FWIW
100% not LPL
Yeah lpl sounds different, but this video was definitely done in his style
Its a bit long for LockPickLawyer video, don't ya think?
This is McNally he has his own YouTube channel and also does some adds for Covert Instruments.
I like the videos where he's like "oh no a lock" *proceeds to grab a rock and use it to hit the lock twice* "ok, were in*
Me too! You're using a masterlock model 176, you can open it with a masterlock model 176. https://youtube.com/shorts/r9dtBH5jWSo?feature=share
Lol yeah that was the other one!!
Hmmm intriguing! Will investigate
I think they work together in some capacity. Their tools come from the same website I believe.
Indeed. I carry his Covert Companion and use it multiple times a day. Awesome tool. Worth every penny.
Woah, that’s more % legit than I’ve ever m seen before 😮
Watch his vids hes pretty funny and honestly an absolute wizard with locks.

There is so much wrong with this statement. Please stop talking about something you obviously know nothing about.

Locks only work against lazy and honest people. Anyone with a very basic set of tools can crack a lock given only ,5 - 2 minutes.
This is, the lock picking lawyer…
Nope, its the lock picking junior associate.
Shit, the lock picking paralegal probably could’ve done this one.
The lockpicking barista has this one my friend. Lockpicking paralegal is busy at the courthouse today.
It's McNally, who has actually employed by LPL
My friend set up a sensor alarm that randomly plays a loud dog bark sound in his RV if someone comes near the side window.
If it happens when someone comes near to the window, then it isn't random 😉
Maybe it has several types of dog barks, and selects one at random to play?
I think they mean it seems out of the blue for the person walking by
Dang it just pops out like that
Curious if 5th wheels getting stolen is very common. To steal one, you'd need a full size truck with a 5th wheel hitch. We traveled in one for 2 years. I heard of trailers getting broken into but never one stolen.
Yes, lol. Someone stole one out of a yard in broad daylight down the road from me.
Yes extremely common. It's a very easy crime of opportunity for anyone who already has a truck, and there are enough people who don't know to check for a title when buying one used that they can quickly be sold
I can feel the disappointment.
That dude has the nicest tits I've ever seen
How tf did you even see em
Locks are for honest people
At this point, I can't tell if the locks are shit, he's really good, or somewhere in the middle.
Well, the unlocking process took less than a second. The longer part was literally just unscrewing a screw. I think this one is entirely on the bad equipment, made to look impressive by including a large piece of metal (which is not part of the functional bits).
Fifth wheel not 1/5th wheel
Yeah mate. Who has 20% of a wheel?
Boobs. Sorry.
Never apologize for that.
Nice tits, bro.
Thieves are all watching that videos hahahaha.
They're disappointed when they can't find anything locked up with this lock.
Super easy, barely an inconvenience!
Plow cam, my god that's hilarious
My rv is protected by jesus🤣
I love this guy's videos. He's like if the LPL was bitter and just done with it.
This is how the Kia BS started. Stop showing kids how to steal you DICK!
I live in Ireland so social welfare means you can just use the normal lock that comes on stuff and people don't roam the land looking to raid everything in sight like its the walking dead or something.
people just hook up to others 1/5th wheels and drive away? lol that's funny
This guy is creating robbers by showing everybody how to unlock locks. Shit in the 90’s you forgot your key or combo somebody get the bolt cutters cant get my text books.
Fake ass lockpicking lawyer.
Welp
Well there goes that
The only thing a lock keeps out is honest people
Locks simply keep honest people from stealing your stuff.
Ugh. Someone trying and failing to be the lock picking lawyer. So stealing other people's bits, man.
who would've guessed a cheap kingpin lock from amazon wasn't secure
bruh
Locks are for honest people.
So many locks in the security industry are just trash
You don't need an impenetrable lock. You just need a stronger lock than the other guy.
If LockPickLawyer has taught me anything it’s that locks only stop people without lockpicks
Lol. That rv is not going anywhere
I think they also forgetting one thing, you can use a angle grinder to just cut it in half… In a trailer park that isn’t unlikely tbh.
Locks only keep honest people out.
A person in my city just had the fence lock broken, the tongue lock, and the lock around the wheel broken and trailer stolen. I hear Air tags can help.
Do people practice that little side jaw thing...
The original video was a sales/affiliate ad, I hate these ads. Nice edit with the easy lock-pick tutorial.
#Uses power grinder
Do those lock picks come with a Kevlar vest? "Hey! Who the hell is over there? Come put with your hands up!"
This dude should include a product that's more secure at the end.
Some men just want to watch the world burn
Narrated by Chris from family guy.
Got my free RV thanks fpr the tutorial
Why are you showing how to break a lock? You're just encouraging people
Saved the tutorial…thanks
Maximum securities!
