  1. Re:A lot of comments about bashing the lock... by Z00L00K · · Score: 1 · on Skip the Picks; Expert Uses Hammer To Open a Master Lock (csoonline.com)

    I have actually watched a lot of videos by bosnianbill and I'm not even remotely surprised by the outcome of this.

    Cheap locks are weak, expensive locks may result in delaying the intruders enough to make it inconvenient to make entry and pick easier alternatives. If they really want to break in then they don't care about a lock anymore but take down the wall instead.

    I have concluded that the weakest lock to be considered are the ABUS Granit series of locks, and that the alternatives are Abloy and Anchor.

    I agree, the lawsuits only makes Master Locks look stupid while serious lock manufacturers actually learns from how the locks are picked and make better locks the next generation.

    Meanwhile the Abloy disc lock that's very hard to pick still is available over the counter in a model with keys almost identical to the keys that were available in 1907. They have improved versions as well today that are considered to be very hard to pick.

    Personally I'm only considering the locks from Abloy, ABUS Granit Series or Anchor.

    I'm not sure if Abloy is safe against all lock picking techniques, but at least a bump key doesn't work with it. http://www.abloy.com/

    ABLOY makes some of the best locks in the world, their system is completely different from the basic American pin/tumbler system.

    Read some professional lock hacker reviews of them from The Open Organization of Lockpickers (right side, pdf, 4 parts)

    "No key lock is really secure. None are pick-proof."


    You should try picking some proper locks, not those pin/tumbler crapolas you Americans prefer.

    Assa Abloy is a Swedish company that manufactures some of the hardest locks in the world to pick.

    Too bad most of the doorlocks here in Finland are made by Abloy. AFAIK, you need some kind of special tool pick those. One type of Abloy lock has 11 discs and there are close to two billion different combinations.

    So if I leave a window unlocked, it is ok to break into my house? If a woman is wearing a short skirt, it is ok to rape her? You have cash on you, it is ok to mug you? You have a nice car, it is ok to car-jack you?
    If your appartment/house has an Abloy high-security lock, it is far less likely to be picked than the neighbour who only has a el-cheapo generic tin-metal lock...
