Well if its a normal vehicle laser track lock its no problem, if its a funny side bar etc then thats a differant story.

Dont forget a vehicle laser track lock is basically a wafer lock and with the right tools they can be opened just as quick.

Whats your lock off?

For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

I wouldn't say a 4 track BMW lock was easy.......
Older standard wafer locks are fine but I would shy away from laser track or even standard wafer locks on some Renaults etc have clutch mechanisms that makes the lock spin if turning pressure is applied without the correct key....
