Why don't lock manufacturers make locks unpickable?

Well there's that one lock that was around a while back that the key was a chain, but even if you could still get one of those they're about the most impractical things ever to be called a lock. Likely it'll remain unpicked because there are so few of them since the company went out of business and the people who have them probably won't want to risk breaking them. Not so much because it's impossible, just they're all in the hands of collectors now.

The chain key lock is not as hard to pick as it may look. There are no security pins and the tolerances are poor. All you need is a thin pick somewhere between .012-.015".

Chain Key Lock Picked

[GWiens2001]

Picked one of them with a plastic pick made from an engine oil bottle. As GGL says, not that difficult. Due to the somewhat fragile nature of the key, they had to keep it simple.
