[1211] Which Master Lock Is Harder To Pick? A Surprising Result

[manyyou]

"It probably isn't marketed to guys like me...."
.
There isn't a lock on the planet marketed to you.

The idea of raking is so funny to me. “Yeah just wiggle it around, it’ll open up”

[Tuulos]

I feel that the Master Lock rating system is just a review from a professional thief. "10/10 lock, very easy to pick and since it's beefy it's often used to secure valuables."

[LegosheepIsAwesome]

"We probably should be able to rake this open as well."

STOP, STOP, HE'S ALREADY DEAD!

[jimmymetcalfe]

"That's a clang out of one, and a clunk out of two. And that's both locks in the trashcan, where they belong."

[twjohnson]

"...probably isn't marketed to guys like me."

Master Lock: "Is that an insult? I can't tell!"

[bengtjohansson]

LPL: "...we probably should be able to rake this open, as well."
Beefy lock: "No please, not in front of Lady Lock!"

Easy, the smaller one is sealed with a kiss 💋

I think Master lock's rating system is more based around how hard a lock would be to smash without regard to picking. They figure most people can't pick locks, so they're considering how resistant their locks are against bolt cutters, hammers, and other forms of brute destruction/entry. They probably think it's great that their locks are easy for pros to open: The pros aren't likely to be thieves, and people lose their keys all the time.

So Master Lock is so bad that when they try to make a novelty lock it’s actually better than their own high security lock. Amazing.

10 out of 10 security rating means 10 seconds to open it.

European locks: "classy thieves try to finesse their way in. We need more pick resistance."

American locks: "they're gonna shoot their way in anyways. Make the body bullet proof, screw the lock."

[StefanoBorini]

Next on LPL: "Literally unpickable master lock found as a gag gift prize with a bag of chips"

[ScytheNoire]

Master Lock only rates their locks for how secure they are if someone is going to shoot them with a handgun.

[robinhascoolboots]

"I stopped trying to make sense of master lock design decisions long ago" w h e e z e

[SIGNAL]

Imagine the power of a 1/10 master lock
Breaks instantly from physical force, but requires a full minute to pick

[Harli]

You know it's bad when a diary-looking lock is harder to pick😂😂

[yespur]

“That’s not gonna make much difference for somebody like me”

Wow, our boy showing off here

[TheHappyKamper]

I think LPL is just trying to goad Master into responding. You could even say, we're watching LPL master-bait.

[TheLemonyOne]

As a beginner picker (literally started learning on Wednesday) Master locks are so easy to pick... I bought a small one from Bunnings and I swear the thing takes me less than 10 seconds to pick
