There is no such thing as secure lock. Any lock could be open without original key. The difference is in the amount of effort.
Still baffles me that KIA sold cars which can be driven away using screwdriver and USB cable.
- trenchpilgrim 1y ago> There is no such thing as secure lock. These in fact do exist, but they have properties unsuitable for many use cases, such as taking 8-24 hours to open if you lose the key/combination or a mechanical fault occurs, and being part of a system so heavy the floor beneath them have to be constructed to support the weight. (A friend of mine was a master locksmith for many years and worked on such locks, mostly for government contracts.) In case of a lockout often the easiest way to open them is a brute force attack using a device called an autodialer.
- ungreased0675 1y agoThere are some locks that cannot be opened without the correct key. Abloy and BiLock are two examples.
