un-pickable

Postby byron_c » 15 Oct 2004 17:41

I was out shopping for new pad locks practise on today when I came across a lock that had a odd look key. It had two square cutouts on it, and the packaging claimed the lock could not be picked or opened with a skeleton key.

Has anyone seen one of these, and are they, 'un-pickable'?

More information would be better but the only thing I can think of is a lever lock. Information like its maker, model, even a jpg with the key drawn on it would work.

Everything is unpickable until the right tools are made, or someone has the logic to have a bright idea. I personally want to see which company said their lock was unpickable. I could see maybe saying unpickable for something like a dial or button setup only because you can't pick those. If that is the case then they're being very shady and it should say resistant to manipulation or unmanipulatable.

Next time I go over to the shops I'll have a look at who makes it, and try and get a photo of it to post here.
