my new disc padlock isnt very secure

[Cold_Turkey]

i got some new locks yesterday, and one being a 70mm heavy duty disc padlock. i'v seen people using these all over, so i thought they must be safe. maybe its just my disc lock but i can get it open in 10sec or less. has anyone tried these. i tell ya i wont be using this kind of lock to secure my stuff.

what type of "disc lock"... an abus discus, an abus discus ripoff, an abloy, an abloy ripoff?

I magine you're speaking of an abus rippoff, in that case ever tried picking a lock from the dollar store?

[Cold_Turkey]

its a BLACKSPUR, nope never tried one from the dollar store, the only thing like that here in the UK is the Pound Shop and theres not one near me. but i guess its some kind of ripoff. i'll see if i can get a proper one.

Ive got a couple of 5pin black spur padlocks. and yes they are very easy to open.

Ive seen there disk lock and look nice and shiny but im betting its about as good as there padlocks.

I dunno if this is just me but when i buy a lock i usually try n get at least 2 with very different keys just so i know if its just my lock

i did that with the locks i got today, made sure the keys were very different. he also gave me a lock with no pins so i could put them in myself, but i dont have the pins yet.
