You mean this one?

Abus Granit 37/55

No, it is not an easy pick. For a beginner, it is nearly impossible. It has a Level 12 classification. :shock:

Some things may be pick proof, but everything can be bypassed....

With the proper tools is the hard part, Granit picks are not easy to come by and typically have to be homemade meaning you have to have the tools to do it. Mine's not finished so I couldn't tell you. Does anyone remember how long it took Barry Wels in that video?

THAT'S IT!? *sigh* ... how much would you have to spend on a lock to get something as physically tough as the granit but would take like 40 minutes to pick?

It's all relative. That's a pretty secure lock because of the obscurity of the tool required to pick it quickly. And really, from a security perspective, is picking the thing you worry about most? I'd say if they're determined enough to get what's behind the lock, it probably won't be picking that'll get them in.... unless you've got something valuable of John Falle's that you're holding for ransom. You don't, do you?

Still cant get it picked i dunno if i false set a pin when i thought i setted a pin. on my Bird lock it has standard driver pins and when i set the first pin it turns a tiny bit. I dunno if im just not use to mushrooms. Or if its just cause im not use to padlocks. But i dont see how padlocks are any harder there jsut a cylinder insde a block of brass that controls the shackle from opening. :? To be continued... Will jason ever pick the ABUS 65/50 Stay tuned :D
