There are a couple of (old) videos on Medeco locks:

- lrvick 5y agoOthers have picked the Bowley even though LPL can't but it is more time and work than anyone could reasonably be able to do in a real world application so if anything those efforts are a strong endorsement of the lock.
- mkl 5y agoThis guy makes it look pretty easy, and doesn't use advanced tools or anything, just a piece of metal bent to go around the obstacle like the key does (i.e. totally reasonable time and work): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS0FSzamUzc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS0FSzamUzc Linked by ryzvonusef: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29367579 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29367579
- lrvick 5y agoFascinating! Of course if anyone did it, it would be huxley. It feels like Bowley underestimated strong vibration attacks like that and didn't invest enough in spool/serrated pins. I suspect this is correctable, but I wonder if it would work as well mounted in a sturdy door since the vibration is not directly connecting with the pins.
