LPL is an amazing lock picker, anyone with this level of skill is much better off working as a locksmith or a security consultant. Most B&E’s aren’t exactly executed by master thieves they aren’t single pin picking your locks. When selecting a door lock or a pad lock you should care only that it can be raked or bypassed, for bike locks you should also care that it can’t be easily cut. For the most part your door is likely going to be the weakest link as most people don’t have reinforced doors and door frames.

  Many people even install glass windows.

    Smashing a window is unnessecary noise. I've been burgled 4 times in my life, all 4 were either jimmied window or jimmied door (usually a screwdriver as a prying tool).

      4 times? Where do you live just out of interest?

        Why? You looking to make it 5 times?

        I don't live there any more, but 3 times were Middlesbrough UK, the 4th was in Mountain View, CA.

Lockpickinglawyer is an absolute expert in his field though. There's a difference between using a lock that requires an expert to pick, vs a smart lock that requires an expert to write an app that anyone can use to hack the lock.

I happen to like a challenge, and I can say through experience that picking any modern reasonably priced lock is not something you learn in a week. Besides, the vast majority of burglars do not pick locks - they pry open doors or windows, and if they cannot they either find a different house or break a window.

LPL is one of the best pickers in the world. He's one of about 10 people I know of who's ever picked a Mul-T-Lock MT5+, for example. His picking attacks are by no means typical. He also practices picking each lock before making the pick on video. That makes for better (faster) video, but is less real-world. Bosnianbill does more real-world style picking (and is only very slightly behind LPL in skill). LPL's real good videos are his physical attacks. Whether it's twisting, core pulling, or breaking out the Ramset, all are more likely than a criminal trying to SPP a lock.
