New ideas are always good, nothing advances without trying new stuff. I'm sad I missed out that they had gone into production, I thought I was on the list for that. Or maby I just missed it. The main issue with this system is the stainless steel keys I think (required to have enough strength so they don't bend up). High security keys always cost more, but cutting SS keys has to be murder on the key duplicator (and $20 per key is quite a price and reflects the challenge of working with SS). And it's more expensive for Bowley, so lower profit margin compared to their competitors even at scale. However I'm sure the quality is good for that price. I am curious though, are their any anti-drill pins in the cylinder? Or, if the entire cylinder is Stainless then that is practically the same thing.

Per Ryan Bowley & Tyler Bowley: >> "The entire lock is made out of hardened stainless steel the same as the key. Unlike most locks which have a single hardened anti drill pin in a brass plug. That being said its not made of diamond and can be drilled like any other lock with the right bit and enough time. The purpose of a high security lock is to block manipulation attacks forcing a destructive attack. Its very hard to stop a destructive attack because then your whole house becomes the weak point. The door, the windows, etc." SOURCE: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2136537678/bowley-lock-relaunch/comments?cursor=14163537#comment-14163536 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2136537678/bowley-lock-...
