Most common locks can be easily picked with a tiny bit of practice. I'm completely incompetent but I can pick any Master lock in 5 minutes or less.

- lrvick 5y agoWhich is why you should never use Master Locks. I am pretty decent at lockpicking but I can't pick a Medeco or better in any practical amount of time and very few in the world can. Little bit more money vastly reduces your attack surface.
- Godel_unicode 5y ago> Little bit more money Aren't medeco padlocks like $100, whereas master lock padlocks are less than $20?

- dekhn 5y agoI remember learning how to break master locks back in the 1980s. But I also heard they changed the mechanism after that.
- danachow 5y agoI’m pretty sure they did on a number of models, but it wasn’t for the better
- lrvick 5y agoI went to home depot a couple years ago and bought every model of master lock they sold. Picked all of them in an afternoon. I then taught kids to pick them.
- dekhn 5y agodo you mean combo locks, or key locks?
