What geographic area? In the northeast US I've noticed that the cheap, easy to pick locks seem to dominate.
- pantalaimon 4y agoHow would you even tell? Is there some kind of independent certification of pick resistance? Of course all lock companies will say that their lock is secure.

- fragmede 4y agoYou're thinking too hard. Most locks aren't anything more complicated than a simple pin and tumbler setup, so anything more than that is more secure. Who cares if a Schlage Primus key is better or worse than some medico lock, you've successfully made it more annoying to break into your house/office/warehouse.
