Yeah, me too. Maybe he just never bothered. To be fair to the locksmith, it's really much more of a job than just picking. They make their living installing, replacing and servicing. The guy who comes to grind off your lock is making a housecall, and $75 sounds like a going rate. He's bonded and licensed, so a cop can't mosey up and accuse him of a crime. It costs him money to stay in business. This particular guy maybe took things a little personally, the way a doctor would with a patient who keeps looking up stuff on the internet and assuming he knows more than he does.

Generally, when you call a locksmith, the goal is to get past whatever lock is present rather than preserve the lock. Drills/grinders generally do a pretty good job of accomplishing this goal as a lot of customers just want to get into the thing and replace the lock later. Non destructive is definitely preferred, but if you can't open your door and the guy you called out pulls up with a drill, I think a lot of people are gonna shrug and just get a replacement lock.

I went to the local hardware store and he came close (sort of), he could cut a key for a Porsche 928 and mine was Italian. One day I was at the bank and when I went to my car in the car park there was a mobile locksmith van. I thought no way he's going to have one but I've learnt over the years it pays to ask and so I did, eureka! Miracle of miracles he cut me a key on the spot. Better still I was able to test it immediately incase it needed refining but it worked first time. That was 25 years ago and I still think about it to put a smile on my face, God bless him.

@enochmartin71908 ай бұрын
At first sight it is, but: Here in Germany you can expect costs of at least 20$ for the journey. Rather more most of the time, depending on the location and distance they have to travel. The working time starts as soon as he is at the customer. So his total effort, with the discussion about the lock picking etc. will surely be at least 15 minutes. Locksmiths are still relatively expensive, but you have to remember that the bill is certainly not just these 2.5 minutes. If he was there for half an hour and we calculate travel of 20$, then the hour of work costs about 110$, which is not a very high price, no matter in what profession.

No, it's not crazy. That $75 paid for the fuel to get there, helped to offset the investment in the grinder, offset the cost of the service truck (plus tags, taxes, and insurance), offset the cost of licensing and bonding, offset the cost of that locksmiths other operating expenses, and MAYBE there was enough money left over after all of that to actually compensate the man for his time. Even 3 years ago, $75 was rather inexpensive. It would be a damn good bargain, in today's economic climate. That's the problem with service work. Nobody considers what it costs to operate a business. If you don't want to pay for the work to be done, figure out how to fix your problems by yourself. If you want to farm out your problem solving, expect to pay for it.

@InfernosReaper3 ай бұрын
@@InfernosReaper Obviously, you've never rented a vehicle, run a business, or purchased quality, commercial grade tools. If you had, you'd know that, realistically, $75 wouldn't cover any of that. Especially not a truck rental. People expect a lot of things, when they call for a service. It's not uncommon for those expectations to be unrealistic. This specific bike lock, for example- to defeat that lock, in a nondestructive way, you need a special tool. You also need to know that the lock-type and the special tool exist, and you need to know how to use the tool. Most locksmiths deal with common house locks, common safes, common commercial locks, and vehicle entry. Weird ass locks, designed to secure toys, are not going to be in the wheelhouse of the average locksmith. It's silly to expect that of them, if you think about it. How many of those toy locks do you reckon locksmiths encounter? One or two, every decade? There's no reason to expect that they'd put forth the money to buy the tool (which only exists because LPL and Bosnian Bill invented it, and it's probably not in inventory at the average Locksmith Supply Warehouse.), buy two or three overpriced locks on which to practice using the special tool, and then spend all the extra time it takes to learn the tool. A tool that, again, would almost never get used. Nah, if you need to defeat some weird ass, uncommon lock, expect a grinder. And, at this point, expect that grinder to cost about $120, with the rabid inflation of this modern era. Expectation of anything better is ridiculous.

@spencerwiltse28553 жыл бұрын
That grip towards the thumb is very typical in both carving and cooking (particularly when using a paring knife) and gives excellent control of both edge orientation and depth of cut while also providing good leverage as you're using strength very local to the cut . The real danger comes when using a forehand grip (which uses larger arm and shoulder muscles further from the hand) and not being aware of body parts behind the piece being cut. A slipped forehand cut pushing away can swing wildly out of control and strike in particular the other arm, the legs, or a close bystander.

Yeah, me too. Maybe he just never bothered. To be fair to the locksmith, it's really much more of a job than just picking. They make their living installing, replacing and servicing. The guy who comes to grind off your lock is making a housecall, and $75 sounds like a going rate. He's bonded and licensed, so a cop can't mosey up and accuse him of a crime. It costs him money to stay in business. This particular guy maybe took things a little personally, the way a doctor would with a patient who keeps looking up stuff on the internet and assuming he knows more than he does.

Especially when they have only ever seen such things online rather than in the real world?

Dude lmao, I was waiting for him to be confident enough to describe everything he does while he does it, but tbh it was scarier when he went dead silent throughout the picking process
Anytime you see someone who knows what they're doing suddenly go silent while doing that thing, you know they mean business. I'm not personally sure entirely what that's like, but I have friends who will sit there and suddenly get anxious when I stop talking in the middle of a game. I've done this in shooter games and watched my friends actively avoid me because they know that they no longer stand a chance 😅

Dude imagine being a "locksmith" for over 25 years and your tool of choice is a grinder.
Generally, when you call a locksmith, the goal is to get past whatever lock is present rather than preserve the lock. Drills/grinders generally do a pretty good job of accomplishing this goal as a lot of customers just want to get into the thing and replace the lock later. Non destructive is definitely preferred, but if you can't open your door and the guy you called out pulls up with a drill, I think a lot of people are gonna shrug and just get a replacement lock.

I'd be a bit suspicious if he started off with the lock already out of the wrapping. People might say that he must've done something to the lock before recording the video (though that's a bit of a stretch, of course).
@@alrightyes1116 he could've just bought the same one to practice. But of course he's very experienced and skillful so.
I would suggest welding together a chain to lock your bike, you can't pick a weld
The fact that the locksmith had seen - or at least was completely aware of - your channel, makes me wonder why he wasn't more curious about the tools that are demonstrated. Seems like a bit of a shame he couldn't get a bit more into it and develop his skills
Especially that the tool is not hard to learn at a basic level. Nobody will be picking with it in 20-some seconds after just an hour or less of practice, say. But even a 5- or 10-minute job would be fine as a once-in-a-while thing. Not everyone’s hobby is the same as their job.
Most locksmiths aren't going to devote a significant amount of time learning about how to pick every lock or devote space/money to carrying around a large amount of specialized tools. Especially when they can just reliably destroy the lock and move on to their next job.
@@BriBCG Then they're not doing their job properly. I carry lockpicks and you really only need, at most, six tools.
@@BriBCGthere isn’t that many special locks or tools to pick those locks a small handbag could carry everything you would need and more and it wouldn’t be inconvenient or heavy if your jobs to get a lock off but all you can do is cut it that job shouldn’t exist given most people have an angle grinder or a friend who has one but if you know how to pick it suddenly that’s a rarer skill set that has a reason to be worthy of a job
customers may see lockpicking as part of a locksmiths job, but a lot of places dont want their techs to pick or at the very least spend minimal time picking because it is significantly more cost efficient to destroy the old one and sell a new one. they are businesses first, and services second.
I bought a used European car and needed an extra key so I went to this elaborate locksmith shop and he couldn't help me. I went to the local hardware store and he came close (sort of), he could cut a key for a Porsche 928 and mine was Italian. One day I was at the bank and when I went to my car in the car park there was a mobile locksmith van. I thought no way he's going to have one but I've learnt over the years it pays to ask and so I did, eureka! Miracle of miracles he cut me a key on the spot. Better still I was able to test it immediately incase it needed refining but it worked first time. That was 25 years ago and I still think about it to put a smile on my face, God bless him.

$75 for a 2 min and 14 second job. This guy got paid $2000/hr to cut a lock.
Not how that sort of billing works...most businesses charge you by the hour, some by half an hour, and that starts the moment the timer starts ticking, so even if I take 10 seconds, I'm billing you an hour, and this is not taking into account the traveling costs and tools, and if I had to guess, even if he took 24 hours to do the job, he would still charge that amount. Also I would suspect that this type of work doesn't happen that frequently, so competition is going to be low as well, increasing the price...so yeah, probably $75/hour to cut a lock.
Most folks in the SF Bay Area can only dream of paying just $75.
He had to drive there
No. He have to receive call first which not all of them ends in sale, drive there, establish what's going on, prepare and bring tools, talk with client and drove back. I guess total like 40-60 minutes, 30 minutes per job which will be lucky if so. So $150 per hour maximum but he as well might not have any job or just one a day. You don't understand making a business at all.

@@HomeoftheWilt17 what is this, the LPL burner account?
But that tool is now available for like $35 dollars now. They gave the rights to a company to mass produce it so long as it was affordable. He did a video about it a while back.
$75 just for 2 minutes of standing there cutting through a lock is crazy
At first sight it is, but: Here in Germany you can expect costs of at least 20$ for the journey. Rather more most of the time, depending on the location and distance they have to travel. The working time starts as soon as he is at the customer. So his total effort, with the discussion about the lock picking etc. will surely be at least 15 minutes. Locksmiths are still relatively expensive, but you have to remember that the bill is certainly not just these 2.5 minutes. If he was there for half an hour and we calculate travel of 20$, then the hour of work costs about 110$, which is not a very high price, no matter in what profession.
but you can buy a new grinder for $75 and do it yourself@@CriAlch
No, it's not crazy. That $75 paid for the fuel to get there, helped to offset the investment in the grinder, offset the cost of the service truck (plus tags, taxes, and insurance), offset the cost of licensing and bonding, offset the cost of that locksmiths other operating expenses, and MAYBE there was enough money left over after all of that to actually compensate the man for his time. Even 3 years ago, $75 was rather inexpensive. It would be a damn good bargain, in today's economic climate. That's the problem with service work. Nobody considers what it costs to operate a business. If you don't want to pay for the work to be done, figure out how to fix your problems by yourself. If you want to farm out your problem solving, expect to pay for it. And, when you fork over that cash, stroke that check, or run that card, remember the pain of trading that money for expensive work, and maybe don't vote for the politicians who place high financial burdens on businesses.
@@magnificenthonky That $75 could've bought a grinder, an inverter, and rented the damn truck to use for the call. When people hire *locksmiths* they expect *locksmiths* not *hacksmiths*
@@InfernosReaper Obviously, you've never rented a vehicle, run a business, or purchased quality, commercial grade tools. If you had, you'd know that, realistically, $75 wouldn't cover any of that. Especially not a truck rental. People expect a lot of things, when they call for a service. It's not uncommon for those expectations to be unrealistic. This specific bike lock, for example- to defeat that lock, in a nondestructive way, you need a special tool. You also need to know that the lock-type and the special tool exist, and you need to know how to use the tool. Most locksmiths deal with common house locks, common safes, common commercial locks, and vehicle entry. Weird ass locks, designed to secure toys, are not going to be in the wheelhouse of the average locksmith. It's silly to expect that of them, if you think about it. How many of those toy locks do you reckon locksmiths encounter? One or two, every decade? There's no reason to expect that they'd put forth the money to buy the tool (which only exists because LPL and Bosnian Bill invented it, and it's probably not in inventory at the average Locksmith Supply Warehouse.), buy two or three overpriced locks on which to practice using the special tool, and then spend all the extra time it takes to learn the tool. A tool that, again, would almost never get used. Nah, if you need to defeat some weird ass, uncommon lock, expect a grinder. And, at this point, expect that grinder to cost about $120, with the rabid inflation of this modern era. Expectation of anything better is ridiculous.

@@yunhan2857 this happens in surgery too, scared?
Great job, we just had two locks picked and the guy charged us $220.00. My mother passed away and no one knew where keys were located for her house. Your work very impressive.
Charging $75 to destroy a lock is robbery. Guy needs a new profession.
Hes not gonna give him his money back. That's for sure.
pretty sad
Oh hell no,its going to be harumph I say good sir
@Ow my Bones The american way to do things.
Definitely not getting any money back
Still I'd send the locksmith this video just to piss him off even further.
"It took 2 minutes and 14 seconds." Me looking at the length of the video.... Oh no.
Same lol
Don't woosh me but most of it was talking
@@everynameimakeiscringe8641 You're right, but I think what they meant is that by the time LPL mentioned how long it took, there clearly wasn't that much time left.
That's exactly what happened with me also. Lmao
@@RedLuminous huh, I see
Watching how he opened the package explained the bandage on his finger
Did Malcolm ever get his money back, lol? Wish he’d give us an update
You know he means business when he doesn’t talk his way through the pick.
Was thinking the exact same thing.
I had to narrate in my head "click out of one, two is binding...
Kevin Monzel Ha!! Me, too! ... “nothing on 3....not sensing any false gates...” 😂😂
he's finally revealed a fraction of his true power in this video.
@@rusnik1853 OVER 9000!!!
He gracefully called him an "average american locksmith" lmaooo
Lol
Hence forth, I will only hire locksmiths with “Above Average” in their business names.
Burn!
LMAO
He most likely meant average as in not specialized in any specific field of lockpicking.
I must say despite how fast he opened that lock and as fast as he did it. I imagine it took this guy a really long time to learn all the different mechanisms that are out there and the tools that are required to open them. Not discrediting his skill at all actually the opposite. Really unique skillset man such a unique mind to tackle the some these complexities.
If a professional isn't willing to learn these things about their own job, then they aren't very professional
'"You have been doing it wrong for 25 years'".
Challenge was seriously accepted. *It was personal this time*
Where is the challenge here?
@@alexeivoloshin3065 Were you being sarcastic?
@@RockStampPAS definitely not
Are you implying that LockPickingLawyer has been Michael Jordan this whole time?!
@@RockStampPAS not necessarily sarcastic, he's just implying that it wasn't a challenge at all for LPL
Isn't it a youtube terms of use violation to violently murder someone's pride so savagely? I mean, damn dude!
**Flashback to the glorified zip tie being cut with tin snips**
It actually is against new KZhead terms and conditions to "harass or make fun of others". Pretty much nothing is allowed anymore
Its just a reply to being called "worst offender, and that his videos being utter bullshit".. i don't see anything wrong than just defending his own pride and reputation
It's ok, he's letting the locksmith save face by starting with the fact that that lock's picking toolset is NOT in the general toolset carried by most locksmiths. I thoroughly enjoyed the video!
it was polite murder
Did the man ever get his 75$🤨 dollars back?
Bro picked the lock faster than getting the lock out of the package 💀💀💀
You can tell LPL is serious when he is silent during the picking.
Yeah that was....weird, I had that voice in head, tho :D
Yes my dude, yes. You've noticed too!
wish he did it again and deconstructed the lock, might get in trouble though might be why he did not
_"First I'm using a turning tool to rotate the discs as far as they will go. Then I will use the pick Bosnian Bill and I made, and tension on the first disc. Let's get started.. nothing on 2, little click on 3, 4 is binding, nothing on 5. Back to the beginning, 2, we got a click out of him, nothing on 3, 4, a click out of 5 and we've got it open."_
His focus is inspiring.
When he stayed silent on the picking I was like "Oh shit, the god is angry".
The most uncomfortable 28 seconds of my life...
More like "ok, this is serious shit".
I figured it was go time, and conversation would be a waste of valuable lock picking thoughts 😂
It was terrifyingly amazing and I couldn't tear my eyes away.
I think he was just concentrating. He has picked these before, so being educational wasn't necessary. This is just for challenge.
A quick google search shows results for that tool in the 10$ range. not sure of the quality of said tools, but if it can be had for that cheap I don't really think there is much of an excuse for a "professional" to not have one. Especially when they are charging you 75$ for the service of buying a new lock as well. if you have a spare key at home cheaper to call a friend or get a uber home than the locksmith seeing as again that bike lock is around 60$ so this hole thing cost him around 135$.
It’s a shame weirdos online made this kind of video impossible to ever see again.
"I wouldnt blame a mere mortal if he wasnt able to open a lock like this one"
LMFAO
snorted
🤣 pretty much
Lol
LPL exists on higher plane of existence.
I love how he's never straight up disrespectful, but he's not gonna take shit from anyone
Do no harm, take no shit is a great personal policy
Strong Karma
It’s like his version of “bless your heart”
Very true, he let's his work speak for him.
When your actions do the talking.
I work customer service and the amount of times I’ve heard people condescendingly tell me “I’ve been doing this for 40 years!” And then be completely and obviously wrong is mind boggling so I’m not even remotely surprised that you were able to do this
There's no way anyway is sending him these letters. No one says "I'm throwing down the gauntlet".
A quiet LPL is much more intimidating than when he narrates.
A B yes indeed
You know things have gone real when he's silent.
His concentration level is over 9,000 when he doesn’t speak 👀
He took the weights off 😂
When the loud guy in the room gets quiet, everyone notices.
Best way to secure your bike from LPL: attach a lengthly letter that he must read before picking the lock.
And lots of duct tape
Just straight up have a portable bunker you can put around it
@@TulpechaidoplaysMC “This is the lockpickinglawyer, and today, we’re going to see how well this man’s bunker can stand up to my nuclear lockpick
@@glarynth it takes him longer to get through duct tape than some locks (looking at you masterlock)
Underrated comment 😂
Took him longer to open the package than the lock!!
AWESOME!!! Best chuckle I've had in some time.
This is the most chill reply diss track that has ever existed.
This is the funniest comment I've read in so long, thank you lmao
LPL got some cool headed big oof energy
that lock smith needs to step up his disc detainer skill.
@@undergoddess Probably just needs a pick for it.
HAHAAHAAAA XD
I appriciate the skill/knowledge and also the communication in this video. The start was nice.
I love how LPL does this. He doesn't make claims or brag or put down the locksmith. He just takes the challenge and opens the lock. Let the facts stand for themselves.
LPL: *cuts towards his thumb* LPL’s thumb: *already has a bandage on it* Boxcutter: “How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?”
I was thinking the same thing 😂😂
That grip towards the thumb is very typical in both carving and cooking (particularly when using a paring knife) and gives excellent control of both edge orientation and depth of cut while also providing good leverage as you're using strength very local to the cut . The real danger comes when using a forehand grip (which uses larger arm and shoulder muscles further from the hand) and not being aware of body parts behind the piece being cut. A slipped forehand cut pushing away can swing wildly out of control and strike in particular the other arm, the legs, or a close bystander.
@@diamondflaw there's a _science_ to this?
Really I said the same thing 4 hours ago. Lmao.
Cut toward your chum, not your thumb
I like that you defended the locksmith prior, that the average locksmith wouldn't have the proper tools necessary for this type of lock. Then the ass-handing commenced.
That wasn't "ass-handing", that was premeditated murder.
IM not average locksmith and i don't have that tools. IM a gamer.
almost noone has the proper tools thats why
Right
It's a tactic I use in debates a lot. Before delivering the killshot, have to prime them a little bit so they don't get too angry or triggered.
Seeing you cut the package open like that at 2:11 explains how you got that band-aid on your thumb 😂
All your videos have made me feel uncertain and anxious, but now I finally feel some joy. I smiled when I heard your last words. Obviously not at the fact that he probably won't get his USD75 back.
LPL Brain When he started to pick: No talk this time, let's obliterate
If LPL had a Bankai, it would be complete silence.
I think it was mostly because he was trying to do it as quick as possible just to show us how fast it can actually be done if you have the skills to do it because imagine if he was talking it would probably have added another 30 seconds at least
that zombies player and money WAS on the line soo... there’s that too.
Yeah, you know shiz is real when LPL goes silent lmao
@@ussessexcv-9189 That's so us mere mortals can keep up.
"I've been picking locks for 25 years" as he fires up his grinder
My favourite lockpick is a sledgehammer
If a grinder makes you a lock smith I’m good no other tools needed.
I think he ment to say “ive been grinding locks for 25 years” lol
Yep. That statement translated means "I ain't worth a fuck and that's the most awe inspiring statement I can come up with".
fuckin clown lmfao
When I played baseball as a kid, there was this one umpire that was comically bad at being an umpire. He got mad at the criticism and said “Ive been an umpire for 18 years, I know what I’m doing” and people got a chuckle when I said “and you’re still doing little kids’ games?”
Little kid games need umpires too.
Imagine calling a locksmith and he just shows up with an angle grinder and charges you $75..
Can’t even get a locksmith to show up for $75 in Australia, and they use destructive methods to up sell. It’s cheaper to smash/cut your way in and replace the lock. Can’t even get a lock barrel keyed for less than the lock is worth!
Buy the angle grinder off of him for $30 (yes, they go for more, but they also go for less) and do it yourself.
been there, though as it was after hours i charged 170€ :)= ETA: my grinder was more than that though.
A quick Google search shows that a cheap angle grinder can be bought for as little as £19.99 here in the UK. Throw in a few quid for a cutting disk and you could throw the lot in the trash afterwards and still turn a profit.
nagualdesign i got one for 13 usd then a couple discs for 5 usd
It was harder to get the lock out of the Amazon bag than actually opening it
truers
Damn it, beat me to the comment, GG
Lmao
For real 😆
Seems like Amazon is doing a good job...
Out him!! Mostly because of how he handled being simply questioned. You’re in a position of trust, people will have questions. Also, tech keeps evolving.
He might need you again, as the lawyer part of your name to enforce that verbal contact
The best "Hold my beer" video I've ever seen.
I think you said it perfectly..
My thoughts exactly
YO FR HAHA LMAO
😅😂
Yup
That was the most professional “you aint sh*t” I’ve ever seen.
Saying "You ain't shit" means "you are not shit" which is opposite to what Lockpicking Lawyer is implying. "You are shit" is the correct phrase for what LPL is implying about the other locksmith.
@@bunnyhop4938 You can also tell people they're _not_ shit, and it somehow means about the same thing, due to a different meaning of shit.
Calling out another locksmiths laziness, love to see it!
@@bunnyhop4938 In such context "You ain't shit" means "You are nothing." It's definitely not a compliment.
@@bunnyhop4938 It's street slang. You can't put logic to that. It's like when people say " I am the shit". They are implying they are the real deal basically. You aint shit, you aint the real deal.
Surely by now we get to find out if the locksmith paid up?
Love it. I want the update where the grinder wielding lock smith writes an apology and asks to be LPL’s padewan learner.
Judging from the bandage on his thumb, the box cutter poses a bigger challenge to him than the lock does.
Nah he just tried picking it.
*opens the video* "I wonder what happened to his thumb? *LPL cuts towards his thumb with an knife* "Nevermind"
From the way i saw him cut the package open, i can def see him cutting himself lol. Tried cutting that way a while ago and it gave me a little scar (to be fair, it was one of those cutters that are extremely sharp with a small tip)
@@katt0906 i already winced at the way he was trying to cut it open, so seeing the bandaid after felt like a hilarious punchline
