Hello people,
Can you identify this one by looking?

I just want to ask how is this lock to lockpick? I just want to be sure that my store is hard to get in.

As mentioned brand and type will get the answer your looking for. or if you don't know this info a better picture with close ups of the key way will probably get better responses. Another thing that would help some would be for you to fill in your info about your general location.

as mentioned in other posts, most criminals, dont actualy pick locks, they use alternative ways of getting in to places, eg, an open window, smashing a window, you need to look at the whole place, not just the locks.

HAHAHAHAH!

That's hilarious!
This guy is trying to find out if the lock featured on the door of the safe house where a swedish artist is hiding is pickable.

If the IP resolves to sweden, I say inform the authorities. Could just as well be a nut looking to collect on the bounty.

Nah... I suspect someone is being a bit of a joker. IP is from entirely the wrong country, and from a university IP range. :)

Yes, could be that someone was checking if the site is on point.
Since the internet offers such a wide array of materials that could be misused, one could even be writing an essay about that. For instance that question with precise answer would be seem as a prime example.
That is, except for the fact that if one has no prior knowledge of lockpicking, even a detailed guide for one lock would probably not yield the desired results.

Thats quite something to have spotted, i think it might be too obscure to be some kind of test they're probly more like "how can I bumpz the CIA doors", it might be worth alerting the authorities, don't blame people for not wanting the hastle though.

Not really worth picking locks, because soon after you enter, you will be shot dead by the police guarding him.
