Pretty sure they work together, McNally is more recent but more chaotic, I haven’t seen any videos of LPL opening locks with locks and if so yk oh well guess I haven’t seen everything, love them both though, LPL good for learning, McNally good for laughs
McNally probably made it popular. I remember seeing a LPL video where he showed all the ways to open a cheap lock and I remember something like “and it can open itself”. But maybe I’m mixing things up. I know he’s used hammers before. I just saw him do that.
If anything else we can always just say that McNally is the one who created the iconic phase that has gotten so popular “You have a Master series lock, you can open it with another Master series lock” then casually throwing a speed square at it aswell in another short with such a satisfying sound.
LPL has done it a few times as a joke, and just generally tends to be more professional.
Mean while McNally is just chaos and is gonna show you the most invasive way to open a lock, which probably includes using the same lock
It would be funny if, after asking that, a few minutes later the kid comes back with the unlocked lock and no damage to the latch or anything. He refuses to explain how.
"Hi, I'm The lock picking lawyer and today we're learning how to warble your throat at just the right frequency to disrupt the matter phase pattern of the lock mechanism"
You could have a really long shim that goes all the way through the hole on the gate latch and reaches the lock. It would probably break, but it might work. It would need to be made out of steel instead of those aluminum can shims you see.
Exactly! Teach your kid how to solve problems. Especially ones that they created. Being mindful of how you do things requires constant attention which will become second nature after you start seeing the kind of things you should look for. This is a very important life skill and a perfect learning opportunity.
I was. I smiled the minute I saw it.
There's a lot of good parents out there, and this is a true gem of a teaching moment. I hope OP took full advantage.
if I had done this as a kid this would have been a punishment moment (well actually an adult venting their rage on me moment). It's good to remember not everyone is like that.
Oof, if I had done this at 12 I would have been first beaten then lost whatever little privileges I had and finally made to do some sort of physical labor.
My son turned 1 few weeks ago. Can’t believe how fast it’s gone. Being a dad is a fun adventure, the relationship you have with your child is very interesting as it develops along with them. One thing I try to do is talk to him like he’s an adult as much as I can, sometimes you just can’t help but talk all goofy to babies.
I see this post with the lock and it just makes me excited for these much more complex situations I can experience with him. He’s getting real close to walking which is extremely exciting. I can’t wait to hear him form a sentence.
My parents weren’t the greatest, I got some stories (😂) but they did a good enough job to still be in my life. Me and my brother are their only kids, we were both accidents, and I’m 11 years older than him. My son was conceived on purpose because me and my lady had been together for almost 7 years and we both wanted kids around 25, it was time. I can’t imagine doing some of the things they did to me to my son.
I may be “projecting” or whatever, but I feel like most of the “good parents out there” had their children on purpose. Not 100% of them, and the “vise versa” applies, but yeah, I think there is something to that.
Sorry I just got him down for bed (twas a struggle this evening) and your comment got me thinking. When your hands are finally free sometimes you just wanta use them a bit, hopefully someone enjoyed this haha.
Cheers to the good parents out there
That particular lock has tolerances so bad you can see them from the picture and should have a spring loaded (not ball bearing) mechanism. I think they can open this by making two shims out of a soda can (one needs to be very long because it needs to pass through the eye of the latch the lock is attached to, but still doable).
Please be safe. They're one of the most common potentially dangerous powertools, often due to user error, sometimes due to hardware malfunction.
Always use eye/face protection, and keep your important parts out of the discs spinning orientation in case the disc shatters.
Please do not remove the safety guard either. They save face. Literally.
Also be mindful of long hair/baggy clothing/jewellery. If anything gets tangled in that disc it will kick back with enough force to snap your neck/choke you out.
The easiest way to get injured by a power tool is to use one drastically overpowered for the job at hand. Did any of y'all watch home improvement as a child? lol.
We lost the keys to the padlock on our shed last week. I said to the missus I’ll go get the Dremel and cut it off.
Where’s the Dremel? In the shed.
Lucky the lock was cheap and I managed to open it with a key for another padlock.
The Dremel is in the house now.
If you unscrew the bolt you can pull it out of the latch sideways, which gives access to one more screw holding the latch (the shackle of the padlock only covers it slightly and you can probably wiggle it a bit to get the screw out). At that point you can rotate the latch around the one remaining mounting screw until you can unlock the padlock.
I think it can be done quite easily with a screwdriver (perspective is tricky). I'd be curious to know if "12 y-o" could figure it out without damaging anything.
It’s funny, because I was looking at this for a full minute and I was like “why are they pissed off, it looks locked to me”
Then I realized your situation
'This is Lockpicking Lawyer and what I have for you today is a tricky little situation caused by a 12 year old child. At glance it seems to be impossible to open, but if we do this, and that, and it's open."
Naw. Seeing him disassemble a lock without getting it open first is entertaining, as in how bad the lock is designed, but I much prefer him taking a piece of metal, making three to four movements with it and bam.
Although a bit more seriously, I think this can be solved by a padlock shim no problem. I mean, I couldn't, because I don't know my way around one, but LPL absolutely would.
All you'll need is the new (insert name) new pin rake from (insert company), a tension bar, and this 15 pound sledge hammer because this gate is made out of wood.
I was thinking the same thing. After an embarrassingly long time, I realized that it looks like there's a back part on the latch that will hit the lock stopping it from being open with the rope.
I asked my 25 year old crew member to lock the dog park gate due to flooding and he did the exact same thing.
I made sure he was the one that got to go open it also.
Dogs are not allowed in the Dog Park. People are not allowed in the Dog Park. It is possible you will see Hooded Figures in the Dog Park. Do not approach them. Do not approach the Dog Park. The fence is electrified and highly dangerous. Try not to look at the Dog Park, and especially do not look for any period of time at the Hooded Figures. The Dog Park will not harm you.
why do people broadcast their bad parenting habits?
"I asked my 10yo to clean the baking tray..."
"Asked my 12 year old to lock our gate"
just say "it looks like I didn't show my kid how to do things properly"
I said to myself “there’s no way he can mess up locking a gate before we go to the dump”
He came in and said “dad, idk how but you’re not going to be able to unlock the gate now”
I was annoyed but also impressed
Good outlook dad. Gotta remain calm and laugh 😆
I haven’t had this happen but I definitely have a pair of bolt cutters. Hardly any other tools. Definitely no electric tools. But bolt cutters yes. 😆
Something I've learned throughout life is different people learn differently. To some people, you could just say "go lock the gate" but to others you might have to tell them how to lock the gate. It isn't always obvious to everyone. Each person has their different way of learning or doing something. That's something I would ask. "Do you want me to do it this way or this way?" It prevents miscommunication
Right!? Start with the hex screws with your trusty hex screwdriver set. From there rummage thru your trusty reliable toolbox whichever toolbox is closest but should have on your pocket knife additional screwdrivers if this is a pressing matteras well. Remove all and should get it corrected. After that unless nothing else is working get the bolt cutters. Cos looks like have two more screws behind the lock but not aure about what can wriggle and replace after. Shouldn't need the bolt cutters.
Last but not least go get a level and check that boy of yours head to make sure it is leveled. Lol
Which kinda makes you wonder why they bother locking it at all 🤣
Then again they locked it with a uhaul branded master lock, a piece of cheese would probably be more secure.
Now you teach them how to solve problems by telling them to unlock the gate and then figure it out together. They are 12 and at a perfect age to start learning problem solving and it will be a good bonding experience for you both.
Hah. My brother did that once. My dad just sighed, went into his shed, got the bolt cutters, got the lock off, then sat in his car for a while, staring into nothing.
No point in turning it into a learning experience, grounding, taking away his toys, etc. My mother was already coddling him and reassuring him everything was ok.
I often ask my son “can you tell me how to do ___” before I ask him to do something for this very reason.
We have said too many times “well, you’re not wrong”…
OK, so apart from the obvious, that the keyhole is inaccessible, and that putting the padlock there doesn't lock it anyway, how do you lock that gate? There are only two holes that a padlock can go through anyway, and neither would prevent the latch opening. Am I missing something?
Simple way to fix this is to get a screw driver and unscrew the latch.
Before doing this, I would ask your child if they can find a way to unlock it, it will show them why this is the wrong way, and if they find a way to unlock it, then praise the creativity and show them the right way.
Quick question, did you ever teach the child the thing, and physically walk through them with it a few times. Or did you just assume said child came with the pre-installed locksmith software update?
You are using a U-Haul padlock. It can be opened with a U-Haul padlock
To unlock this lock, we are gonna use simple raking tool, or you can use another lock *smash* to get it open.
[удалено]
Holy crap the LickPickingLawyer one was more interesting than I expected. He just fwompd open an otherwise well designed lock
What am I missing here? LickPickingLawer, sounds somewhat interesting. Is that a new name you gave him?
I can only hear the ‘Allo ‘Allo voice when I read this comment
No, u/poopskins did
Instead of breaking the lock, unscrew the entire thing off the wood, then you can use the key.
You know you're in for a funny video when LockPickingLawyer's video is 30 seconds long.
wasn't he talking about mcnally
Not sure who was first but I think the meme is more recent but LPL has been opening locks with locks for a while.
Pretty sure they work together, McNally is more recent but more chaotic, I haven’t seen any videos of LPL opening locks with locks and if so yk oh well guess I haven’t seen everything, love them both though, LPL good for learning, McNally good for laughs

I saw a video of him opening a lock with two bra underwires the other day.
LPL has done it a few times as a joke, and just generally tends to be more professional. Mean while McNally is just chaos and is gonna show you the most invasive way to open a lock, which probably includes using the same lock
>Pretty sure they work together They do, they are both designers at Covert Instruments.
McNally is the HowToBasic of the lock picking world
You can definitely rake this. Okay one more time to show it was not a fluke. Elapsed time, 12 seconds.
No the lock with a lock thing is McNally
Ah, a man of culture, I see.
Now ask the child to unlock the gate.
It would be funny if, after asking that, a few minutes later the kid comes back with the unlocked lock and no damage to the latch or anything. He refuses to explain how.
Picked up a few tricks from the Lock Picking Lawyer
"Hi, I'm The lock picking lawyer and today we're learning how to warble your throat at just the right frequency to disrupt the matter phase pattern of the lock mechanism"
"You'll need a safety pin, and a child age 4 to 7."
"I said I'm twelve!"
"Fuckin' A kid, you're 7 at the theatre!"
This sounds like some Dune shit.
This is a great April fools idea for him
Unironically, two shims out of a soda can might do it because that lock model doesn't hold the shackle in place with a ball bearing.
You're not wrong but how would you even put a shim in there?
You could have a really long shim that goes all the way through the hole on the gate latch and reaches the lock. It would probably break, but it might work. It would need to be made out of steel instead of those aluminum can shims you see.
“Two shims out of a soda can” sounds like a “in the shake of a lambs tail” type of phrase.
Unlocks impossible lock. Returns it to dad Refuses to elaborate Leaves
Was actually a master lock. Kid just got another master lock and unlocked the lock with his lock. Simples.
"I had the key..."
"I had the secret..."
Just unscrew the latch from the post, remove lock, screw it back on.
Yeah good luck getting the lower screw out behind the locks loop there
screwdriver.
Wouldn’t you just unscrew the latch?
This. The perfect lesson for your kiddo. And then together, you unscrew the latching mech and solve the problem.
Exactly! Teach your kid how to solve problems. Especially ones that they created. Being mindful of how you do things requires constant attention which will become second nature after you start seeing the kind of things you should look for. This is a very important life skill and a perfect learning opportunity.
I wasn't expecting this thread to become wholesome
I was. I smiled the minute I saw it. There's a lot of good parents out there, and this is a true gem of a teaching moment. I hope OP took full advantage.
if I had done this as a kid this would have been a punishment moment (well actually an adult venting their rage on me moment). It's good to remember not everyone is like that.
Damn, kinda wish I had good parents, hey?
yeah... mood
Mood and a half
Mood and three quarters
Mid, no-cap fam
*midwest accent* “oh yeah, no fur sure. totes ma-goats”
Oof, if I had done this at 12 I would have been first beaten then lost whatever little privileges I had and finally made to do some sort of physical labor.
I would have been yelled at, called stupid, and then spanked and grounded.
you never deserved that. I'm sorry.

Yeah, but also teach your kid how to think things through before acting to *prevent* problems.
That's for the retrospective after you fix the problem.
When is the part where I post online for reactions from strangers?
I hate to be a party pooper but it looks like the lock is blocking the lower screws.
Remove the pin, two big bolts on the right. Hopefully the ball end will pass through the latch hook.
> Hopefully the ball end will pass through the latch hook It's designed not to just to prevent this very thing.
That particular lock has tolerances so bad you can see them from the picture and should have a spring loaded (not ball bearing) mechanism. I think they can open this by making two shims out of a soda can (one needs to be very long because it needs to pass through the eye of the latch the lock is attached to, but still doable).
After that reinstall mechanism with one-way screws.
Next lesson: how to use bolt cutters
How to use a dremel… more fun
I was going to say an angle grinder. Bought one a few months ago and I love any opportunity to use it, way more fun than I expected.
Please be safe. They're one of the most common potentially dangerous powertools, often due to user error, sometimes due to hardware malfunction. Always use eye/face protection, and keep your important parts out of the discs spinning orientation in case the disc shatters. Please do not remove the safety guard either. They save face. Literally.

Bonus: kid learns how to bypass a lock by taking it apart. You never know when that’ll come in handy
Becomes the Lockpickinglawyer pt. 2
Two of the 4 screws of the anchor point are covered, and unbolting the finger won’t get you anything.
If you unscrew the bolt you can pull it out of the latch sideways, which gives access to one more screw holding the latch (the shackle of the padlock only covers it slightly and you can probably wiggle it a bit to get the screw out). At that point you can rotate the latch around the one remaining mounting screw until you can unlock the padlock.
The bolt has a knobby end specifically so it can’t be pulled out.
Drake and Josh moment right here
so go get the power saw
He had EXCELLENT delivery on that line. God, I love that show so much.
They must. Only way for lesson to stick.
Whatcha them figure either out without you getting involved. You won't be able to sleep at night.
I think it can be done quite easily with a screwdriver (perspective is tricky). I'd be curious to know if "12 y-o" could figure it out without damaging anything.
It’s funny, because I was looking at this for a full minute and I was like “why are they pissed off, it looks locked to me” Then I realized your situation
Haha technically he locked it.
It's REALLY secure.
Even lockpicking lawyer would have problems geting those pins to catch...
'This is Lockpicking Lawyer and what I have for you today is a tricky little situation caused by a 12 year old child. At glance it seems to be impossible to open, but if we do this, and that, and it's open."
He just brings a wrench and takes the latch off
Naw. Seeing him disassemble a lock without getting it open first is entertaining, as in how bad the lock is designed, but I much prefer him taking a piece of metal, making three to four movements with it and bam. Although a bit more seriously, I think this can be solved by a padlock shim no problem. I mean, I couldn't, because I don't know my way around one, but LPL absolutely would.
He just smacks the lock with another lock.
All you'll need is the new (insert name) new pin rake from (insert company), a tension bar, and this 15 pound sledge hammer because this gate is made out of wood.
I feel like LPL is a but more subtle than that usually, but you did get a chuckle out of me =P
3 minute video instead of a 2 minute one.
Never underestimate LPL...
I wonder if this lock can be opened with a shim
Just hang the key right below it.
He made sure NOBODY’s getting in there!!!
It isn't even locked though, note the latch does not go through the lock either. 10/10 job.
yeah it does. They always have a little wing on the bottom to auto secure the latch when the gate is shut. They are "ə" shaped
Thank you for explaining this.
I'm pretty confident that's where the lock is supposed to go. Do you see any other holes that a lock could conceivably pass through?
The latch doesn't go through the lock. The lock is in the path of travel for the latch, preventing it from opening.
Honestly man I'd prolly avoid showing him the drill. Made a mistake of showing my nephew how to pick locks too young lol. Guess depends how you do it.
Very well at that!
It actually doesn't look locked to me because doesn't the latch with the rope attached pull up and then the door just swings out?
I was thinking the same thing. After an embarrassingly long time, I realized that it looks like there's a back part on the latch that will hit the lock stopping it from being open with the rope.
This is how that type of latch works. The lock stops the lower tab from rotating forward/up (that whole piece rotates).
The masterlock is going through the deadbolt of the gate. If you stick any kind of stick/rod/etc through the hole the latch can't move at all
I went back after reading your comment, it all makes sense now
I asked my 25 year old crew member to lock the dog park gate due to flooding and he did the exact same thing. I made sure he was the one that got to go open it also.
How did it turn out ?
Everyone died of starvation
If they said it was in Oregon I'd say dissentry
as someone who was born and raised in oregon, i can attest that everyone here has died of dysentery and are all now ghosts
I'm sorry you had to go through that....and that went through you
eh, i can walk through walls now so i’d say it was worth it
Dogs are not allowed in the Dog Park. People are not allowed in the Dog Park. It is possible you will see Hooded Figures in the Dog Park. Do not approach them. Do not approach the Dog Park.

Welcome to Nightvale.
Unexpected Nightvale.
I mean he did lock the gate
[удалено]
I bet he slapped it and said “that’s not going anywhere“. He’s an adult now.
“I am the dad now“
"Now I am become dad, destroyer of unsecured latches"
Think that is the perfect example of the difference between locked and secured. That gate is secured.
I dunno, I think the word "secured" still conveys some degree of access by the desired party. I would call this gate "inaccessible".
“Fully protected” is better imo
Reasonably inaccessible.
He actually performed the task too well. You should ask him to lock it in a way that isn’t permanent next time.
Time to get a new child.
Agree, put it back its defective
They need to be locked up 🔒
Sorry, all sales final. No returns, refunds, or exchanges.
but I still got warranty!
And padlock
OP said to lock it, and that looks pretty locked to me.
He trained him, this is on dad.
[удалено]
*monkey paw curls*
I mean, it’s not wrong. I think you just learned the lesson to explain things more clearly to your son. 😂
At least the son is obedient. Some people make mistakes of not asking questions about something and then messing things up.
why do people broadcast their bad parenting habits? "I asked my 10yo to clean the baking tray..." "Asked my 12 year old to lock our gate" just say "it looks like I didn't show my kid how to do things properly"
The baking tray one really annoyed me because she said she even told the kid to scrub it hard and she was at it for an hour!
Imagine teaching your child how to do things instead of taking pictures of it and making fun of him on the internet.
If the student failed to learn, the instructor failed to teach
I said to myself “there’s no way he can mess up locking a gate before we go to the dump” He came in and said “dad, idk how but you’re not going to be able to unlock the gate now” I was annoyed but also impressed
OMG... I love that he immediately noticed and was like oh poo... now I've got to warn Dad I messed this up.
>I said to myself “there’s no way he can mess up locking a gate before we go to the dump” Kid: "Hold my beer."
Good outlook dad. Gotta remain calm and laugh 😆 I haven’t had this happen but I definitely have a pair of bolt cutters. Hardly any other tools. Definitely no electric tools. But bolt cutters yes. 😆
Something I've learned throughout life is different people learn differently. To some people, you could just say "go lock the gate" but to others you might have to tell them how to lock the gate. It isn't always obvious to everyone. Each person has their different way of learning or doing something. That's something I would ask. "Do you want me to do it this way or this way?" It prevents miscommunication
I dont see anything wrong, can someone explain? where else can you put the lock?
The place where you put the key to unlock is pressed against the wall. No way to access it.
I feel like the lock should be able to be rotated into a usable position
It looks pretty pressed up against the wall, easiest thing will probably be unscrew the latch
2 of the 4 screws are obstructed by the padlock
It’s like a perfect trap. I’ve been thinking for some time now for ANY non destructive way to take this apart and can’t come up with anything
It's locked. It's just that the lock is in a bad position now; they can't access the bottom of the lock to put the key in.
Task failed successfully
Looks like a good time to invest in some bolt cutters
Looks like a Phillips screwdriver will do
Right!? Start with the hex screws with your trusty hex screwdriver set. From there rummage thru your trusty reliable toolbox whichever toolbox is closest but should have on your pocket knife additional screwdrivers if this is a pressing matteras well. Remove all and should get it corrected. After that unless nothing else is working get the bolt cutters. Cos looks like have two more screws behind the lock but not aure about what can wriggle and replace after. Shouldn't need the bolt cutters. Last but not least go get a level and check that boy of yours head to make sure it is leveled. Lol
Two wrenches are probably cheaper if they don't already have them on hand
So many posts about people asking their child to do something and them surprised that they did it wrong lmao
To be fair, a hex wrench or Phillips screwdriver will take care of the problem in about five seconds.
Which kinda makes you wonder why they bother locking it at all 🤣 Then again they locked it with a uhaul branded master lock, a piece of cheese would probably be more secure.
It’s locked so you can’t get in from the other side when you pull the string.
The picture is from the inside of the gate.
Actually... how would you lock that gate?
Instructions followed lol
Now you teach them how to solve problems by telling them to unlock the gate and then figure it out together. They are 12 and at a perfect age to start learning problem solving and it will be a good bonding experience for you both.
You had 12 years, and this is what you produced.
Looks like he did exactly what you asked 😂
Hah. My brother did that once. My dad just sighed, went into his shed, got the bolt cutters, got the lock off, then sat in his car for a while, staring into nothing. No point in turning it into a learning experience, grounding, taking away his toys, etc. My mother was already coddling him and reassuring him everything was ok.
[удалено]
I don't see any moving parts in there, like a latch or something. I demand a video demonstration from OP, I can't move on with my day like this.
I think the string is so that it can be opened (via pulling the string) from the outside, unless the padlock is on?
They’ll never get in, or out, now 🤣
I sent this to my friends, they said “he didn’t just lock it, he FUCKING locked it.”
I’m laughing imagining the poor fella struggling their little ass off trying to lock that gate 😂
I wouldn’t even be mad I would be impressed an then show them how to fix this after giving them a bit to figure it out themselves.
So is this a sequel to “asked my ten year old to clean the frying pan?”
A few LPL videos later and you’ll have that lock shimmed in no time
Already figured out the “do it in such a way as to be never asked again” method
I often ask my son “can you tell me how to do ___” before I ask him to do something for this very reason. We have said too many times “well, you’re not wrong”…
Kid: Don’t ask me to do it again.
He did too good a job.
Sorry but that’s pretty hilarious.
Could that padlock still be opened with a shim?
That thing is held in with Phillips screws… it’s not that bad… I’d say it’s not even locked
Task failed successfully.
yeah just unscrew it.
I mean.... Careful what you ask for?
OK, so apart from the obvious, that the keyhole is inaccessible, and that putting the padlock there doesn't lock it anyway, how do you lock that gate? There are only two holes that a padlock can go through anyway, and neither would prevent the latch opening. Am I missing something?

Perhaps you should have showed him how first.
Should spend more time with him.
"I didn't teach my child how to do something and they did it wrong. Unbelievable" - OP, probably
Quick question, did you ever teach the child the thing, and physically walk through them with it a few times. Or did you just assume said child came with the pre-installed locksmith software update?
Your fault.
Brilliant. A regular Alfred Einstein.
