I have seen Abloys, Mul-t-locks, dimple locks, high security 3 pin set locks picked, and I have heard of Medeco being picked. Are there any mechanical locks out there that are seemingly impossible to pick even with expensive tools? I find it incredable how within a short time after the locks are introduced devices are created to pick them. Is there anything left that hasn't been figured out yet? (mostly because I want to try to figure it out) =)
The point is not has a "single example ever been picked".. Rather it's can a person with say better than average knowledge and skills sit down and repeatedly pick (or otherwise compromise) a random selection of locks from one of the systems you mention in a reasonable amount of time...say less than 30 minutes/per lock. Locks are part of a physical security solution. They have there applications but then there are many times when due to their inherent weaknesses its necessary to supplement them with alarms, safes, access controls, video or even guard patrols. The trick is picking the proper mix.
Hmm. Maybe we should reverse this thread?
Least pick resistant: Kwikset, Weiser.....
hmm, I got a couple of $2 padlocks laying around that will open if you look at them funny. They make Kwikcrap look like Medeco. =)
Have a look at the MCS or 3KS at
