how good is your padlock?

[Pete M]

ouch.  picked 3 ways inside 2 minutes where the vast majority of that 2 minutes is him not picking locks.

There isn't a good lock out there in my opinion. Only keeps honest  people from getting in.

I enjoy watching his and bonsianbill picking locks

Exactly my feelings as well. Just make it hard and maybe they will pick an easier target

That being said, as a firefighter there's not a lock out there I can't get past. Of course the gate, door, or wall might not be there when I'm done, but I can get past it.

To be fair, if it takes LPL more than 30 seconds to pick it you might as well classify it as one of the best

Halligan bar solves most pesky padlock problems.

You saw the quality of the lock on my storage unit. To be fair I doubt anyone is going to steal doors and fenders...

To be fair, the packaging claims to be "weather resistant," not pick resistant.

I went on a deployment that took us to Iwakuni, Japan for a little bit, and all the drawers in the shop we got were locked by the previous squadron there with no keys. I ended up making a pick set and tumbler wrench out of safety wire to get into them. I also used it on some master locks we had just for fun

That it does, but it's backup, the K12, is the ultimate lockpick. Although at a mini storage fire a few months ago a lot of people learned that the saw requires oxygen to run. What's not present inside a heavily burning building? 85 units opened up the hard way.

I own a couple of padlocks that are embarrassingly bad. Simply shoving a rake pick in them opens them. No need to actually "rake" them. The locks on most of the family vehicles are not so confidence inspiring either. That's helped on the couple of occasions I've locked myself out while detailing.
