This is the Lock Picking Lawyer and what I have for you today is this Olympus model 888 padlock. This is probably the rarest lock I have ever had on my channel, and I’m excited to share it with you. You’ll notice it’s currently locking these large gate doors made out of pearl but more on that later.

This padlock has a hardened steel shackle and a large, heavy body that should prove very effective against destructive physical attacks. Unfortunately this lock isn’t as secure as it should be for it’s typical usage. Let me show you what I mean.

This lock has a disk detainer core so first thing we’re going to do is rotate all those disks clockwise as far as they will go. Then I’m going to grab the pick that Bosnian Bill and I made and I’m going to tension off of disk number one.

Small click out of disk 2. Number 3 is binding… big click out of disk 3. Nothing on disk number 4. Disk 5 feels like a zero cut. Nice click out of disk number 6. Back to disk number 2. Number 2 is binding. Big click on disk number 2. Number 3 feels set. Disk number 4 is binding. Big click out of number 4 and we’ve got this open.

As you can tell this was relatively easy to open with the right tool. There were only 6 disks instead of the 10-12 we see in higher security locks and it didn’t have any anti-pick features.

Now let me go back to why I am picking this lock. It turns out that God hates lawyers just as much as everyone else and automatically sends them to hell. I didn’t think this was very fair and I thought maybe I could change His mind by helping Him secure His 12 gates better.

In any case, that’s all I have for you today. If you do have any questions or comments about this, please put them below. If you liked this video and would like to see more like it please subscribe. And as always, have a nice day.

Totally expected the ‘more on this later’ To be a demonstration on how the gate material (pearl) is easily destroyed with a simple hammer.

He also needs to relock it and pick it again to show it wasn't a fluke, and then ideally gut the lock to show us its inner workings.

Glad to hear it's not something you can open with a wave rake!
