What's on YOUR front door?

[Thanshin]

On mine there's a TESA-ABLOY. I believe it's a TX80.

I have a copy with which I've been playing for a while, with no success whatsoever.

So, if I lose my home keys I'll still have to call a locksmith.

i been thinking about roll-up shutters on my next house. Dog seems to scare most of them away right now

Yeah those shutters really hate dogs

How exciting folks, a real, partially alive comedian in our midst

Question. Why would anyone put a high dollar lock on a door with a wooden jamb that the door can be kicked in in 3 seconds?

If they get in you'll know it.

So that Lockstate thing in the first post has a remote control but no exploits? I find that hard to believe. More likely that it doesn't use strong cryptography for the remote.

Rgd. the initial question: I have Protecs in steel doors with multipoint locking and Ikon steel escutcheon plates in front of the euro cylinders.

I also have a protec. Most of us probably ditched our pin tumblers long ago. I used to have a medeco on the front door, but now I can pick them so off it went.

The UNC-Charlotte study strongly suggests they do a bit more than just slow them down.

Link to study?

You keep an old lady with a gun handy?

No, that pic shows Gordon and is based on actual events.


As for the people using MT5+: I already saw 2 keys with the little spring ("alpha spring") broken. And it's not a very common lock...
I wouldn't exactly recommend that lock for that reason. You key falls a bit too hard or in a bad way and you are locked out. Not sure what the people did to the keys, they swear it happened while the key was gently resting on a pillow.
(Edit: Ooh and careful when servicing MT5+, if you screw up the pinning and try the get the key out, the spring can get stuck and then it breaks as well. (Of course it happened to my cousin's friend not me.... )

To answer the initial question: gege on the outer steel grid door and an evva 3ks on the door.

(didn't we have a thread just like this one back somewhere?)

Why did you go and tell them that? I had not had my hair done yet in that picture.
