- Luggage locks are all garbage anyway
Most mechanical locks are garbage and neither resistant to practical physical attacks nor at all pick resistant. Many are vulnerable to super-generic low-skill attacks like bump keys and comb picks.
Many electronic locks are garbage.
Smart locks are complete garbage.
See https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm9K6rby98W8JigLoZOh6FQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm9K6rby98W8JigLoZOh6FQ for many practical examples.
- topkeks 6y agoI don't understand why Americans always use those garbage locks even in their homes. You never see such shitty locks in Northern Europe. Literally everyone is using Abloys.
- leetcrew 6y agophysical locks are meant only to deter casual/opportunistic attacks. LPL essentially makes this point in the video on his home security setup. it's pointless to spend a lot of money on a front door lock that takes more effort to pick than it takes to force open the door or smash a window.
