[1218] This Should Be A Nuclear Launch Key (Allen-Bradley Interlock Picked)

FYI - We still have some Covert Companions, Practice Locks, Quad Comb Sets, Hinge Pin Tools, Lockbox Tools, and several other items left in stock on covertinstruments.com after the restock yesterday. We don’t expect them to last the day, so act quickly if you were looking for one of these items.

Thankyou, now i can launch my uncle kim nuclear.

as a user of this, merely turning it will do nothing. The key HAS to be inside for the contacts to be actuated. Moreover, you can't really pull out the key if it's on. I mean.. you CAN... but you just destroyed the lock... The use of this is NOT for lock-out tag out. It's for local sequence operation. For exemple, if you have an hydraulic pump that needs to be shut down, you have the technician shut down the pump by turning the key OFF, remove the key from the PUMP lock, place it in the Accumulator Discharge Valve Bypass Power ON lock, turn it on to release and discharge pressure. It becomes impossible to do one and the other at the same time. That's the idea behind this product.

This would be a fun lock for access to a man cave lol

You have to pick two simultaneously 8 ft apart to win..

Looks like same kind as safety keys from inside Windturbines to access the hub.

ive seen these on the gates around robot arms and other automated equipment in its own area. Basically if you have the key they can't shut the interlock and thus can't restart the machinery. the key stays in the lock and is only removed when entering the operational area

I wonder how many skilled criminals able to pick locks with ease is out there. Not many i think.

if it is for industrial use, especially with that kind of built, normally (not always) it is merely to prevent accidental or spontaneous abuse. not to guard against trained and intentional picking.

Although this is super easy to pick, I love the looks of it. Maybe I'll get one as a power switch for a non-nuclear project. :)

To start the launch sequence for a Titan II ICBM launch required two keys, ~ 15 feet apart, to be turned within 2 seconds of each other. Thus it didn't matter what kind of keys they were since they couldn't be turned together by one person. (unless you were a BMAT, then a 6" wire with clips on the ends were attached to a terminal block that bypassed the launch keys...) Also the keys were kept in a red safe, with two pad locks that only the two launch officers had the combo for and both officers were armed. Later in the use of the Titan II, there was a electronic lock on the stage one oxidizer feed that could only be unlocked by a code not kept on site. Once that lock onboard the missile was installed, no one was going to launch the missile without that code. Retired BMAT, 784 alerts under Kansas.

Generally these locks are not actually locks as in protecting valuables. The idea is in order to remove the key you have to turn it off (rotate it) this turns off the equipment it is protecting, isolating it. You then use the same key to open the equipment to work on we're it then locks into place until the equipment is closed again, when the key can be removed. Each key being unique to an item of equipment.

It's not really a security product, it's as you say, a safety unit, to prevent accidental power cycle. Nobody is going to accidentally pick this.

i watched all of your videos . Now i can easily enter in and out of my crushes home 😌

Unless the lock picking lawyer is bullet proof dunno how he is gonna pick this lock while being shot at with automatic fire from the guards ........

OK, what if we make a lock with an electronic shield blocking the pins and the key has NFC, so you need the nfc tag + physical key to open at the same time.. that would probably be somewhat tricky for LPL.. It couldn't be defeated totally by hacking or by lock picking and the nfc thingy in the chamber would make it hard to pick around even if you somehow got that part down.

in all honesty that looks easier to pick than the average lock because you can actually see all the pins lol.

I wonder how good of a locksmith he would be. Has he made any locks? If he knows the strengths and weaknesses of a ton of locks he would know the strongest ones and get inspiration off of them. I can see it now, “Hello guys, its the Lock Smithing Lawyer here...”

"This should be a Nuclear Launch Key", also LPL "Takes nothing then a couple of seconds to defeat"

Wait a couple of weeks before you ask any presidents anything requiring a sensible answer. In just a couple of weeks we'll have a real one again.

I love this dude he's like this could be a nuclear key picks it in like 2 seconds

Don't pick on me just because my name is Locke.

So it won't actually be effective in keeping the kids out of the Deep Freeze where iKeep the Ice Cream?

thats why the need two guys do it the same time

This lock has the same name as the guy who made TRON

We use keys like this at work to shut off a robot arm if you need to go inside the cage to fix something. The robot is off when the key is out so picking this lock makes it possible to get smacked in the head by a big robot. I'll make sure no one is messing with the locks whenever I am in the cage from now on XD.

aka LPL start WWIII

Not one of us ever has a question. Just funny jokes. I do like that he keeps insisting us to leave our questions below.

the highlight of watching his videos is when I saw women sending him gifts because they love his voice.....lol... you do a good job though..... are you a lock smith?

you did this for the comments section to go nuts, right?

Nooooo, I didn't check how long the video was and really liked this key.

Could you lock pick a nuclear launch core?

Now,we are a click away from Nuclear War.

The title made me think it was an actual good luck that would be secure enough for nuclear weapons

No need to ask the president, he wouldn't ask you.

Ask the president... the actual president XD

Lesson learned: No lock is unpickable

Criminals be watching this like “take notes! take notes!”

I had high hope but then I saw the video was less than 2 minutes

"This Should NOT Be A Nuclear Launch Key!"

i am always waiting for the result but then the video is over

This is the lockpickinglawyer today i show you how to destroy the world in under 30 sec...🤷🏻‍♂️

no way this guy is legit has to be hacking he needs to be banned

Hey, this is like a nuclear launch lock, hold my lunch while I beat it in 20 sec. Thanks for watching, bye. :)

you sure you need the president's permission to lockpick a toilet? no srsly it looks like a toilet lmao

Allen Bradley makes good programmable logic controllers.

crap, I blinked and missed the video

My method is simplest ..remove 2 screws

behold the A-zed 5 key

This lock got me thinking. Would a lock with a cover that you need to hold open, or some other thing that required multiple fingers to hold make trying to pick the lock significantly harder just because you only have two hands? I feel like this would have been harder to pick if it was installed in a panel.

Lock picking skill at. 100

The key usually remains in the lock at all times and if it is missing it just means you can't turn the equipment on

The day this guy turn to a life of crime is the day we should fear for our lives

Castell interlocks are not used for security, they are operation safety locks. Idea is that with a dangerous part of a machine unlocked/open the machine cannot be started (you have two locks and only one key which is held in the unlocked lock). Still interesting to see one picked.

LPL: “There’s nothing about this lock that should take more than a couple of seconds to defeat” Me: *wonders if we should double check the security of all nuclear launch sites*

i would mount this to my wall just cause i like the way it looks

It's built for interlocking your safeties on gates to enter safe zones not to keep your belongings safe. Robot cells is a common use for these keys.

Has he ever failed

I feel like LPL's name appears quite a few times on CIA's lists...

These things are like 500 - 700 dollars on Amazon =0

There should be a law: You shall not build locks where the key weights twice as much as the lock itself.

industrial interlocks like this really aren't designed for security. They are just there to make it so someone cant just walk up and start a piece of equipment. Same goes for safety locks. lots of them have a plastic body.

You should have shown how you lockpicked your way to the president office to ask for his permission to open the lock

*GENERAL: "MR PRESIDENT, WE LOST THE LAUNCH KEY.* *PRESIDENT: "NO PROBLEM, I HAVE LPL ON MY SPEED DIAL.*

You’re right lpl I’ll tackle that lock in under a minute, no problem, it’ll literally take longer for my to put the gauges on my torch tanks then it will to defeat this lock.... I mean it can’t be secure if it’s a liquid 😏

Ok at this point he knows what he's doing

Given that the stated intention for the lock is timing-control, rather than security, is it really fair to fault it for "taking a couple of seconds to defeat"?

And just like that a guy on ILworld destroys the world

Found them here: www.acquirecontrol.co.uk/installation-of-allen-bradley-guardmaster-prosafe-trapped-key-interlocks/ Used as a security switch for industrial areas that have more than one industrial robots to make sure they don't run at the same time and collide. I want one for my laptop :)

I at least think it's fair that this shouldn't really be called a lock in the traditional sense, especially since you mentioned that it was mainly to prevent machinery from accidentally running.

Dude shouldve named himself "LockPickingWizard" this is magic if ive ever seen it

so, are you really a lawyer at work?

I use them all the time on job sites. They are mainly for idiot 1 and idiot 2 not to kill each other on a machine because they don't know how to lock out correctly, we'll and don't care. They are easy to bypass because 75%of the time the wires are jumped on the electronics.

Would this work better if the blocking lugs where spring loaded and required all 4 to be activated simultaneously?

nobody and nothing is safe

best i could do is 20 bucks. wait wrong channel.

You didn't really pick it correctly, in all the movies there are two of these and they must be turned at the same time. So technically you should pick two of these and turn them at the same time.

You and me and a trip to an ATM machine ;)

Now pick two of them that can't be reached by a single person at the same time. You might have something then.

Do you get demonetized

This is the type of lock I'd use to prevent shutting off a Covid vaccine fridge.

LPL must have a daily segment in the national security briefing.

Your voice sounds like Robert Picardo.

well....it IS a good looking lock...

I accidentally skipped to the end of the video trying to tap full screen and all I hear is: "This is TheLockpickingLawer... And as always.. have a nice day c: "

We have similar in few machines at my workplace. They have to be opened in spesific order. More of a safety thing for our use

these are used on gates around robot arms and automatic equipment, you can't lock the gate and thus re-activate the equipment unless you have the key, and trying to pick it to start would probably get you a mean look from the guy who's holding the key

And here I thought LPL actually found a lock secure enough to put on a nuke. Were it so easy....

This is the Lock Picking Lawyer and today im gonna launch a nuclear by picking this lock under the president table

Ive heard about many millwrights using screwdrivers to bypass the locks on the cages surrounding robots. Remember you get paid by the hour, screw your boss.

what cant you pick! lol

What a gorgeous device.

It looks like a Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor! Government devices on my tires!

Like there gona let an lock picking their into the nukeular wart head facility xd

it is realy sad how easy it is for you to defeat these locks go figure how much money we spend on suposed 'good' locks

Launch keys don't need to be complex. Anyone who is dumb enough to press the button can't get close enough for it to matter. Hence why the us launch code was all 0s in the 60s. You'll forget 62949383940494 but not 00000000000000

Villain in the launch control : yo, we don't have the key. Villain 2: Hold my beer.. 2 sec later: " Hey guys, it's the lock picking lawyer.... "

That got me thinking...could...could you actually pick a nuclear launch console?

This perfectly highlights the difference between a safety lock and a security lock.

did u ever unlcok the ozlockcon lock?
