[584] VX2 Prestige disc detainer lock slayed with Sparrows disc pick Albert Lebel 2025-04-16 | A supporter recently asked I do more disc detainer locks.Perhaps they want to learn a few things or perhaps they want to compare how I pick them to how they do it.

[579] Reliabilt DD padlock (Why it doesnt get two thumbs up) Albert Lebel 2025-01-05 | I have always looked at disc detainer locks as a more secure cylinder to basic low security pin tumbler locks simply due to the further skills needed to pick them. They are a different beast.I would love to see a Reliabilt upgrade with false gates on the discs.I would still use this padlock over most in my local stores.

[577] Tool Bench 1 75 in padlock (What you may get for 3 bucks) Albert Lebel 2024-11-24 | If all your locking is a gate in the back 40 to keep wind from blowing it open then this is fine.

[571] Riders Recreation bike lock (GARBAGE) Albert Lebel 2024-08-25 | I cant stress enough the importance of not using these thin cable locks for ANYTHING.

[569] Elemake MKDZG1A with an awesome new UPGRADE Albert Lebel 2024-06-16 | I have done several reviews on Elemake locks. Their mechanical and smart locks are made of decent quality and compare well to others in same price range.One thing I can share is that they are listening to consumer feedback.Here's a couple links they provided.bravexlocks.comelemakelocks.comThis mechanical lock with that new feature is a perfect example.If there's anything you would like to see them change, be sure to mention it in the comment section of this video or feel free to contact them directly at Elemake locks.
[568] TSS Mul T Lock Clone (Pin in pin) Albert Lebel 2024-05-12 | This TSS (Technical Security Series) is a decent clone in my humble opinion. While an authentic Mul T Lock is made of high quality materials and better tolerances, this one at a fraction of the price is not too bad.Stay safe out there, lock it or lose it.
[567] Brinks R60 Discus lock Albert Lebel 2024-04-28 | While these are hidden shackle locks, that trick of hiding the ENTIRE shackle from access with bolt cutters works a treat.You can fold back the chain as I shown or get creative and use something similar you may have laying around.Stay safe out there. Don't be the easy target.
[566] Defender door knob lock out device (Opened with a nail file) Albert Lebel 2024-04-21 | This low quality lock should not reflect poorly on all wafer / disc tumbler cylinders as many are very tricky to pick. The issue with this one is that all the wafers are spring loaded the same direction as I mentioned in video.I did not have to work both sides.But still a cool device that could be upgraded with a little work or simply buy a better one.Stay safe out there. Try not to be the easy target.
[565] Brinks 44mm Laminated padlock (Pick resistant 4 pin) Albert Lebel 2024-04-14 | I see that "pick resistant" claim far too often but at least they don't claim pick proof. While I do have several locks I consider pick proof, this is not one of them.Please do your homework before buying ANY locks.If you have one in mind, just do a quick internet search and see what people are saying and/or watch my videos. I can also be reached via email for any further questions.Stay safe out there. Lock it or lose it. Don't be the easy target.
[564] Bunker Hill 4 dial Combo (Easy to bypass and decode) Albert Lebel 2024-04-07 | If there is one thing that stands out from my early days learning to pick locks it would be this. Learn as much as you can about the lock before trying to manipulate it. The more you know about the mechanics of that particular lock, the better chance you will have picking it open.I had to think outside the box for this one but it worked out great.BosnianBill always said, "If what your doing isn't working, try something different".Please don't mess with locks in use especially if their not yours.Stay safe out there.

[563] Master Lock safe space bag 7120D with a decent cylinder Albert Lebel 2024-03-31 | While still not what most would consider to be a true high security cylinder, I must admit I was happy to find a six pin cylinder on this ML 7120D safe bag.Just remember these bags are to keep honest people honest.NOTHING MORE !!Lock it or lose it folks. Stay safe out there.Anything you can't keep an eye on should be protected with cameras.Don't be the easy target..
[562] Reliabilt T handle garage door lock (Dont panic if keys are lost) Albert Lebel 2024-03-24 | This T handle garage door lock uses a wafer or disc tumbler type cylinder like many other cheap or lower end locks. These are notoriously easy to rake open. I have seen someone use pumpkin carving knives to jiggle open a similar lock. So if you find yourself locked out, don't panic and start breaking things. Look around your junk drawer for anything similar to what I used and give a try. You can do it.This is also why you should use a secondary lock on your garage door.
[561] Concord Combo cable lock (Its HAMMER TIME) Albert Lebel 2024-03-10 | I can't stress enough on the frailty of cable type locks.More often than not the cable itself is the weakest point of the locking system. Just do your homework.Don't be the easy target.
[560] Concord key cable lock tortured to educate Albert Lebel 2024-03-03 | I always say not to trust cable type locks too much. More often than not the actual steel part of the cable is half the diameter of what you can see.Do your homework before your next purchase.Lock it or lose it.
[559] Slaymaker Warded padlock opened with a coat hanger Albert Lebel 2024-02-25 | This type of warded locks brings me back to my childhood when I was curious enough to try open them with bend wire hangers.To my surprise it actually worked and made me feel awesome.We have come a very long way with lock designs since then but my curiosity still has me trying to pick them.
[558] Dollar store padlocks (You get what you pay for - or NOT) Albert Lebel 2024-02-04 | Anytime I see a padlock at a thrift store I feel compelled to grab it so I can share it with my viewers.I highly recommend spending a few more bucks on a REAL lock..
[557] Bunker Hill portable lock box Easily decoded Albert Lebel 2024-01-21 | I have saved several realtors from tossing these lock boxes over the last few years.

Take your time and you can do it.Please, NEVER touch a lock box or any lock in use without proper authorization from the owner.Thank you for your continued support.
{556} Master Lock 1KADLN (Size does matter) Albert Lebel 2024-01-14 | These long shackle locks look very useful but I never actually seen one in use. Please let us know if you use one and on what.
[555] Master Lock 3SSKAD Great for outdoors Albert Lebel 2023-12-31 | So the Master Lock 3SSKAD padlock provides great weather resistance but due to the shackle being stainless steel, I understand it cant be hardened like most of their other locks using a carbon steel even with their usual chrome plating we all know wears off at some point. I hope this video helps you make a good choice before your next purchase of a lock. Stay safe out there. Lock it or lose it.
[554] REESE Receiver lock Opened with just about anything Albert Lebel 2023-12-24 | I will mention it again. ANY lock is probably better than NO lock.Although this one is laughable, I still say it's better than just using a a spring clip type pin.Trailers are stolen far too often. It doesn't matter if their sitting on the side of your house or still attached to your work truck, LOCK IT or LOSE IT...Be safe out there folks
[553] Tool Bench padlock from Dollar Tree Albert Lebel 2023-12-17 | This lock should not be taken seriously to secure ANYTHING.I only picked it up to show you what a dollar padlock looked like.Please stay safe out there.Remember, you get what you pay for. (Usually)Always do your homework before buying a lock. Or anything for that matter.I can only share my experiences in hopes to educate the general public.
[552] A Grocery store lock (Master Lock 500D) Albert Lebel 2023-12-03 | You never know what your going to find in that small hardware section at the grocery store. I had to grab one although I knew exactly what it was and how their made. I just wanted to help educate those not familiar with warded locks. I hope this helps.Stay safe out there.
[551] Bunker Hill 2 in laminated padlock (Buyer beware) Albert Lebel 2023-11-19 | These cheap padlocks may be fine for gates where security is not a big deal and weather protection is paramount but their simply not very secure.I always recommend doing your homework before buying locks.Also, try and have several lines of defense before the lock comes into play.Like cameras, dogs, line of sight etc.Don't be the softer target.
[550] Vintage American 600 padlock Albert Lebel 2023-10-29 | A big thanks to Paracentric for sending in this beautiful vintage American series 600 for my round body padlock collection.I did try again to remove the two retaining pins on plug but failed.These are great padlocks. Yes, obviously they can be picked by anyone skilled enough to do so but we all know locks are more likely to be cut or in some way destructively removed and these are built tough.In my opinion, more often than not, the lock itself is not the weakest point.It's usually the hasp, hinges, windows etc.Don't be the easy target. Stay safe out there.
[549] Bunker Hill 15 in cable lock for guns Albert Lebel 2023-10-15 | Safety is paramount. While I mention anything is better than nothing, I will add that children are VERY curious. Please keep your firearms safe from children at all times. They have access to videos like this one and so much more on the internet these days.Stay safe. Be responsible.
[548] Ace 5 pin Red badge with an old laughable flaw Albert Lebel 2023-10-08 | I always recommend shopping around before making ANY purchase. This is a good example as to why. In my opinion we have much better options in same price range.But any lock is better than leaving your things with no lock at all.Stay safe out there.Lock it or lose it...
[547] Pro Source single cylinder deadbolt jiggled open Albert Lebel 2023-09-24 | The upside to this deadbolt is that it can be disassembled and re-pinned.But it may be good enough as is for low security applications.Just do your homework. And remember, if you don't lock, you will likely lose it.Most homes are robbed due to doors and windows simply left open or unlocked. Be safe out there...
[546] Saker 65mm padlock with a poorly pinned core Albert Lebel 2023-09-17 | While I am happy to add another lock to my ever growing round body padlock collection, I am shocked to find they used key pins as driver pins.Doing that not only makes it easier to pick but may also make it easier to rake, bump or any other non destructive entry attempt.It basically makes getting the pins to the sheer line much easier.It's just an awful way to pin any lock.
[545] Portable door lock (Fantastic for Hotel doors) Albert Lebel 2023-09-10 | I really like the simplicity of this door lock. I would recommend it to anyone traveling all the time just to give them an extra piece of mind.Also great for bedroom doors.Be safe out there. Lock it or lose it..
[544] Master Lock M115XKADLF (4 pin fighter) Albert Lebel 2023-08-27 | Featuring the infamous "Marshmallow core" once coined by one of the locksport community's most gifted lock pickers BosnianBill (Now retired from locksport), this one actually made me realize I am out of practice.The good thing about this padlock is that it's double ball locking to help thwart shimming. I would use this lock on a small tool box or maybe a yard gate. Stay safe out there. lock it or lose it...
[543] Vintage Yale padlock Albert Lebel 2023-08-20 | This lock was once featured on BosnianBills channel video 1175 among others. It now has a home in the world famous Locks Without Borders collection.I don't believe you can get these new anymore but I could be wrong.It's well built like most Yale padlocks and the shackle is thick enough to prevent smaller bolt cutters from getting through it.
[542] Elemake FSDB-801B Keyed lock Picked Albert Lebel 2023-08-13 | The keyed cylinder in this smart lock is very typical to most locking door handles and deadbolts we can pick up at most home improvement stores.In my opinion, it's even better because many use cheaper systems.I highly recommend doing your homework before buying new locks.And take some time to check out the customer reviews and feedback.While it's not common for bad guys to pick locks, I always like to find out how secure the lock really is.I understand they rely on our laziness. Doors left unlocked, windows not closed or locked etc.Be smart, be safe..
[541] ZOKOP digital safe box Albert Lebel 2023-08-06 | These small lock boxes are fine for keeping receipts and other papers safe but I would not recommend using them for expensive jewelry.It is also important to bolt them down so scumbags can not easily carry them away.Be safe out there.We have to out monster the monster.
[540] Brinks combination lock (Less than impressive) Albert Lebel 2023-07-16 | I'm not sure what the technical guidelines are for claiming steel is hardened but when a small file digs in so easily I can't help but doubt it is hardened very much. I have shown how that same file slides off truly hardened shackles on this channel.And the fact that something as simple as padlock shims work should be enough to deter you from using such locks on anything you want to keep.Stay safe and please do your homework before buying a lock.
[539] Dangerfield SKELETON Key Multi Tool and Expansion set (Review and demo) Albert Lebel 2023-07-06 | A big thanks to Lockpickworld for sending in this wonderful Dangerfiled Skeleton Key with the 30Pc expansion set.The door lock I used for this demo was very straight forward and simple but I did use this tool to pick several padlocks also. It locks down good enough to get adequate feedback to pick spool pins and I can actually feel the ribs of serrated pins. This is why I give it two thumbs UP.Anyone interested can simply click the link below.lockpickworld.com/collections/featured-products/products/dangerfield-skeleton-key-multitool-lock-pick-setThank you for your continued support...
[538] Reliabilt Sliding panel lock Albert Lebel 2023-06-18 | Don't get any naughty ideas. If it's not yours, leave it alone.Stores will usually place the more expensive pocket sized items in cabinets using locks like this. But keep in mind, the items may also utilize otherani-theft devices.Theft makes the prices go up.But bottom line, it's just wrong. Don't do it !!!
