hhhaaaaaaaaaaaa security lock my ass!

[jamieson]

HEY yall, i got my pick set yesterday which has 4 picks and a tension wrench...any way i found a 'Wilkinsons SECURITY' lock and sat down trying to recall all that i have read over the psat few days. Anyway a few minutes later i open the lock with a snake, after 5 mins of practice i can consistently open this lock in less than 5 seconds and im not exaggerating!! HOW can they LEGALLY call this a security lock?!?!

You will find the lock industry is full of false statements and broken promises. Only a couple of lock manufacturers deserve the title of "Security" lock. Everything thing else is junk.

Technically, every lock is a security lock (by definition), it's the varying levels of security that's the problem.

[digital_blue]

Yes, and if you install it at the top of your door instead of the middle you can even call it "high security".

Good one db

Almost every padlock I have picked claimed to be resistant to picking.
Half of them claim to be high security.(No matter where I put them. )

lock jokes, thats pro stuff

I think it is safe to say security is in the eye of the beholder. Imagin for a moment.

a soccer mom leaves to go take her kid to um.. soccer
she walks out the door and locks her quickset titan, which she chose over schlage and the lower kwicksets because of its elegant design and "added security"

you, the older brother(or sister shout out to the lady lockies) get home from your busy day of sitting in front of stores and smoking with your friends find your self locked out of your house. so you pull out a pickset and rake it a few times with your hook, walk in and have a soda and wonder what your mom was thinking buying that lock.

moral of the story? lock companies aim their advertising at soccer mom
and 711 manager types not lock smiths.

very true, i had to explain that to my g/f about our security system. sure it will go off if someone opens a window or door, but what if someone breaks the window and removes the sensors together, or just kick in the sliding glass door. way to protect us security system. the best security system i have is my dog, sks and 38 special.

why do 711's have locks if they are always open?

[Mad Mick]

Perhaps I'm wrong, but don't 7-11's open at 7:00AM & close at 11:00PM?

Were you thinking of a 24-7, shaggy?

[vector40]

Actually, they did used to keep those hours.

But everyone needs locks, anyway. What if there's a holiday? What if the sole employee has to step out? What if a hurricane hits the city and you have to evacuate?

[digital_blue]

I have a friend who is a 7/11 Manager. The official answer to that question is that they are required to have locks so that the store can be locked immediately after a robbery... which has happened in her store 5 times in the last 6 weeks.

I think her store locks get locked more than my house locks.

Besides, the store isn't going to be open for every hour of every day for the rest of existence. It's gotta close sometime.

If someone could truly make an unpickable lock it would also be unopenable, and in that case useless.

If by some spark of genius someone did truly invent an "unpickable lock" then someone else would would buy a drill.
