[1375] “Not a Lock” vs. 10/10 Rated Master Lock

There is a very big difference: with one of those products the owner knows the true level of security.

**LPL receives a cool not-a-lock concept**
**Mentions it briefly then proceeds to beat the crap out of MasterLock once again**

I like how the "Not A Lock" looks like a MasterLock, someone on the design team knew what was up.

Thirty years ago, when I was living in a bad part of San Francisco, I bought a beater car with a non-functioning trunk lock. It basically functioned as a latch to keep the trunk shut. You could open it with a 1/4 twist of a screwdriver. I never left anything of any value inside overnight. Instead, I used it to store recyclable cans and glass. One day I noticed the cans were missing, but not the glass. The following week, I put a note in the trunk on top of the recyclables: please take the glass, too. Next day, both bags were gone. On one occasion I put an old blanket in the trunk. Another time, an old clock radio. It felt good knowing I was helping out some anonymous crack addict and it was saving me trips to the recyclers or Good Will.

This continued for the next half year, until some asshole punched out the entire mechanism with a hammer and ruined it for everyone.

The Not a Lock has better security- someone could easily spend an hour trying to pick it without realizing the pins do nothing, assuming they never tried just yanking on it hard enough.

Well, you've gotta admire "not-a-lock's" marketing and packaging for it's honesty. Literally zero over-promising. How many products these days can you expect even that much?

I heard that the CEO of MasterLock asks his parents to check the closet for LPL at night before bed.

[Lilith-Rose]

"Probably just as secure as a level 10 masterlock" now that needs to be on the packaging

[dkerwood]

Nobody: "I bet that was a fluke."
LPL: "I'll do it again."

Not-A-Lock’s new packaging: Rated by LPL as highly as MasterLock’s 10/10

[benjaminanderson]

A master key is a key that can open any lock. Does that mean a master lock is a lock that can be opened with any key?

[TheSonicsean]

"There are serious security devices that can be opened just as quickly"
*LPL dumps like 60 Masterlocks on the table*

[Kyllez]

Of course, the first thing LPL does with his voice back is to roast Masterlock.

[Steamrick]

I think this may be the harshest burn yet for Master Lock, and there have been some good ones in the recent past.

Our high school lockers all had master combination locks integrated in them, some of us found that by turning the lock quickly to the left and then back to the right they would just open with no combination needed. This worked for around 1/3 of the lockers

This man had a harder time opening his sinuses up than any lock he ever picked.

[zachhawkins]

Master Lock: "We have reviewed ourselves, and given ourselves a perfect score"

Yeah ok

[Spartan-Four-Twenty]

I feel like "Not a lock" is something that might be used more as a prop, like in a movie where you "break" open a lock.

[carville]

The "Not A Lock" is clearly the most honest security product I ever saw.

[LorenHelgeson]

Master Lock: Did it open when you sneezed on it?
Tester: No. Why would...
Master Lock: 10/10
