Need a padlock? Which one is best for your depends on what you're going to do with it. From basic to high-security, we're talking padlocks.
Padlocks are a deterrent. We discuss those we like at a specific price point. No $10 padlock will be pick proof, nor is is meant to be, but there is an application for them.

What are the Best Padlocks: www.acmelocksmith.com/blog/wh...
The three criteria we used in determining our favorite padlock were weight, shackle strength and shackle guard.
Our favorite low cost solution is the Master Lock Laminated Body Commercial padlock. Here you want to make sure to get the lock labeled "Commercial" since it has features you wont' get otherwise and the price point is still very affordable.
Our locksmith recommended easy to use padlock is the Abus 83/45 series. This padlock can be ordered up with a kwikset or schlage keyway so that it can be rekeyed to match your existing house key. No keys to keep track of that way.
Moving up a notch in level of security is the Master Lock 1177D. This lock has a hexagon shackle making it more difficult to cut. It also comes with a shackle guard and a 4-digit-coded entry so there are no keys to keep track of.
Our locksmith recommended strongest padlock would be the Abus 83/80. This is a massive 3 lb padlock with a 1/2 inch shackle. It can also be ordered in a variety of business keys so that it can be made to match your business (or house) key.
And lastly, we lock the Mul-t-lock C-series padlock as an all around best padlock with a high-security key that can't be copied. The addition of the high security key makes it unpickable, unbumpable and very tough to drill. Keys cannot be duplicated by your employees for complete protection of your business.

The type of Mul-T-Lock core makes a big difference too as some like Garrisons and 7x7s are very easy to pick.
Great video! You went way beyond anything available at the big box stores, but also gave relevant information on those options.
There are videos here on RUclips that show that the Master Lock ProSeries combo lock can be decoded in seconds. If you can decode the combo that quickly it doesn't matter how tough that shackle is to break.
You should check out our follow video to this? It addresses your concern.

The vast majority of criminals do not possess the skills of bosnianbill or the lock picking lawyer.
@@HitLeftistsWithHammers No, but they have access to RUclips as well and can learn stuff.
@@vibingwithvinylmost bike theives i encounter dont have enough brain cells to speak a sentence let alone watch a LLL video ive had the shackle guard version on my bike for a few years now and its beefy enough i assume people dont even try to shim/decode it
@@vibingwithvinylif someone is taking the time to learn to pick your lock. Nothing was stopping them..
Man the lockpicking vs padlock fandom is weird
😆😆😆
Padlocks are obsolete. Any lock can be cut at the shackle in seconds battery operated tools make this cheaper and faster than the best lock. Usually the chain or shed shackle is the weak point.
Cut the hinges off the shed door and ignore the lock..
Bikes.. cut the chain
@@vinerevive9780 hasp... the word for the holes that lock shackles go threw is hasp. Usually it's two holes spoken as if it were one thing, ie not pluralized. So I wouldn't start that last sentence by saying 'Usually they're two holes...' but rather 'it's two holes'. That's a bad example that I contrived when writing the sentence I later used as an example... it's a bad example cuz it's not an example at all as it's the word hasp that's treated as singular... unlike socks which are usually pluralized. To say two hasps makes me think 4 holes. Anyways, the word you were looking for was hasp.
I think I would just keep the Abus rock on my desk and use it to beat anyone trying to break in.
Right lol 😂
We have master locks on 450 pieces of heavy equipment, fuel caps and battery boxs for 40 years never seen one yet conquered and the gate to our shop.master lock been good to us.
I did think that it was funny when you put on the very low end Master #5 it takes my kids about 30 seconds to open them and I like the choice of the best cuz it is good as long as you have a good hasp or chain..... When I teach people how to pick locks we begin what's the Masters number one 3 + 5 within an hour they have no problem opening them up and under a minute and then they get quicker enjoyed your video thank you
Hi Rich. Yep, some locks are just meant to keep basically honest people disinterested, and at that price point we like Master lock commercial locks for that. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for this video-- clear, concise, expert, no time wasted. 👍
Glad it was helpful! We did change our recommendation on the dial lock. Check out why: ruclips.net/video/lwPHjq1XuHs/видео.html
Now we need the 4 best lock latches
Love The Video! It helped me a lot! I have purchased the ABUS rock padlock to secure my back gate!
Glad it helped!
I really like the American Lock 1100 series for the case of "just keeping honest people honest"
Thank you for the great information.
Heavier is usually stronger but not always, the Abus Granit 37/55 weighs under 1 lb. but is one of the strongest locks available.
We like that one too.
45 seconds against a diamond cut off wheel available at a Home Depot next to you. Padlock Sha mad lock. Hard Wired perimeter pre detection and intrusion is your best option.
@@johnrackiewicz286 Yes but that's not always available everywhere you go. Sometimes a padlock is all there is so you need to make it a good one and do your best not to leave it in/at a place where they have the deadly combination of time and privacy.
so the lock the gentleman in the comment section is talking about is pickable@@johnrackiewicz286
I have always considered the American Lock 5200 to be the best low security general use padlock. I agree with ABUS and Mul-T-Lock as higher security options.
Those combination locks can be opened with a piece of metal way faster than using the combination. Most of the key locks can be opened about as fast as using the key, except that last one.
You are correct in that if you want a pick-proof lock, you need to get a high security padlock. But a lot of people don't need or can't afford a $200 padlock. So if you're not protecting a lot, and you have $10-20 these are our recommendations.
These combo master locks can be opened even easier with a hammer. Now that's a tool a tweaker knows how to use. That first master lock can be raked in seconds and is also shimmable. The best lock for the money that he showed is the cheap abus. They may be pickable, but not easily.
Thank you, very helpful...
Love the big abus and chain . I just bought a 10k lawnmower for my business. My concern is someone stealing the trailer off the truck with the mower in it. What is your best way to secure trailer to truck? Remember that someone can easily unscrew the ball and attach it to their truck and drive away in minutes
It's not something we deal with often so I don't have a recommendation for you. But Amazon does have a number of hitch locks available and we secure our trailer by locking the wheel (similar to a car boot). amzn.to/2FaqPwX
Weld the nuts that hold the ball to the vehicle, drill a bigger hole through the hitch lever and use a bigger padlock. ...and make sure the vehicle is secure too! A wheelclamp is a good idea, but don't go for what Amazon reccomends. Make your own choice (city council parking enforcers use clamps secured by thick chain and padlock -theres a reason for that. Take their advice)
Lock picking lawer has several videos of the style of lock your looking for he also does destructive test to see how well they stand up to common thieves. And i agree do not use Amazon recommends use a real lock smiths opinion this guy recommends the worst known brand name a a cheep low cost way that will result in you getting your things taken
Get good insurance hitch locks are a joke friend had his boat stolen we saw how the did it they just used the safety chains twisted them tight guy lifted hooked the chains in tight enough that it towed it right away like nothing cut the hitch lock off later. Boat was re-registered in another state and sold off only was found when a deputy found a different vin on the boat when he stopped someone for DUI on the lake. There is no boat titles the trailer was registered with a new VIN number. Best to keep boat locked behind a good gate he was keeping in the driveway bad idea. Lucky he had boat insurance they covered most of the cost the boat was only a year old. Only other way would be install concrete eye bolt then chain the trailer with a cut resistant chain and high security padlock. Install security cameras that records movement around the boat sends you a IM message slow them down enough you can get the police coming.
Great video and wonderful information. How about locks for securing a gun case like the Pelican Vault V200 when traveling on an airplane? Any suggestions or have you done a video on that scenario? I think it takes a 8mm lock size.
Thank you for the comment! I'm sorry. That's not something I've dealt with.
Any tsa approved lock should work. I usually use brinks tsa approved locks when I travel with a gun/guns.
Seems like the most important feature is the mechanism that locks the shackle. If its weak, a couple of wrenches can break it open.
ruclips.net/video/AmgdA7XqXLQ/видео.html
Good list, only thing I disagree is the commercial master lock, you can buy an american 1100 for the same price and substantially higher security, but except that good choices!
I appreciate the comment and thanks for the feedback! 👍🏻
Masterlock is a scam.
Big thanks for Locksmith Recommended.
3:47 that s the kind of lock you install, and the thief will try to rob just the lock, because it looks so fancy ... xD What a nice looking lock, love it.
Thanks! Very helpful.
You're welcome.
I wanted to by MasterLock, but amazon review said it rusts. Can you make a video about no-rust outside locks?
Great video…thanks for posting. I wrote all that down. 🤙
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for this video, but what type of hasp would you recommend for something as heavy duty as the abus lock? Isn't the lock only as tough as the hasp bc a burger could just grind through that instead?
Anyone can get into anything given enough time. Which I would recommend would depend on the application. Puck locks and hasps are great if you can use them.
Price info would have been nice.
There are other beefy padlocks like the Squire Stronghold SS100CS and other Squire padlocks.
Please how can I get factory padlocks and the chain am interested
Master Lock sent me two of those commercial locks. Had them picked in 20 seconds.
I'm not that concerned about lock picking and I want a good reasonably priced lock that's better than average, better than most hardware stores sell, so I
like the ABUS Diskus 20/70 at around $40.
I think it's the best compromise lock.
Good for the price and better than what the hardware store has.
Sure I might buy a bigger heavier expensive ABUS as shown for some things but it's not my default go to.
Just an opinion...
Unfortunately a shackle guard doesn’t work. If you can fit the thickness of a cutting wheel between the lock then everything is gone. Thats what happened with my lock at a storage unit. Thickness doesn’t matter the wheel slips in between the lock and what the lock secured to it’s over regardless of your key type. That lock has to be in a Thick lock box.
I pick locks I love lock sport but last time I sneezed at a master lock it opene.a bus can be rakes or picked in seconds.the combination master lock I can get the right code using a pick knife the silver 3lb lock can be picked but it's time consuming and uses a special toool that u can buy from most pick sites .
I’m always curious about the Multi-Lock style of cores vs some of the best Disk Detainer cores. Which is better and more pick proof?
Both MTL pin-in-pin dimple locks and disc detainers require different tools to pick than your average pin tumbler. The MTLs are probably more like your average lock, DD locks require a completely different technique
Disc Detainers are normally better for outdoor and exposed to the elements scenarios, bit like lever locks.
Sargeant & Greenleaf: what we used on the nuclear code containers.
Thank you for this very informative video.
Please, what you can reccomend for Milwaukee rolling toolbox or any kind of rolling construction toolbox
I would recommend not to use the lock built in to the box. Keep that unlocked. Use an ABUS filing cabinet locking bar. Double check the measurements before you buy, so you are sure it will fit. You can use different padlocks on them.
strong lock is great but a lock is only as good as the hasp it is on. Can you recommend some strong hasps, like one on a gate or the flip kind ? And then what is the strongest way to secure a hasp to wood?
Another way to achieve high security is buying a decent medium size steel padlock then start welding pieces of steel around it to make it bigger and stronger. You better hand forge your giant hasps and staples too to match the locks security level
Nice thank you 😊
Thank you !!
You're welcome!
I'm amazed at how many commenters expect non-destructive methods to be common among thieves. I would expect the destructive attacks to be much more common with smashing and cutting being most common. Correct me if you have stats.
There also seems to be a lack of understanding that security is a sliding scale i.e. better protection costs more and you take into account the value of what you are protecting. I'm not going to spend $200 on a lock to protect $100 worth of goods.
Further, a lock is just one part of a system and criminals will attack the weakest part of a system. A high-end lock won't do much good if criminals can break down a door, break a window, etc. The system is only as secure as the weakest link. You should buy a lock that doesn't turn out to be the the system's weakest link. Spending more money might make you feel safer, but it is false security. Every other part of the system needs to at least as secure as that fancy lock to make the lock worth it.
I also assume these commenters only use locks that have yet to be picked or bypassed. Surely once someone picks or bypasses their high-security locks they replace them all with a more secure option. /s
Thanks for the post. I think your comments are very relevent. I dove into it more in our video Can all Locks be Picked. ruclips.net/video/5228bTmrLCk/видео.html
@@LocksmithRecommended But also no entirely true. In the broad scale yes security is a sliding scale but when you are a locksmith and know about things like shimming open a padlock you should never be recommending a crappy lock like the Master "Commercial" lock. For the same price you can get a American Lock padlock with a ball locking system that can't be shimmed open by a 5 year old. Using knowledge and actually examining the lock critically there is good quality locks at most price points that are worth recommending they just don't give as big of a promotional kickback when you sell them.
@@jacobbotden5641 honestly, you hear and see a lot of negative things about master lock. Not all of them have horrible cores and they mostly are very tough locks to get into in a destructive manner. You are right, there may be better alternatives but for low security applications, master locks may be the appropriate choice for some people.
Love master locks!
Who's gonna drill a master lock you can shim them (the Abus too but they have smaller gaps that make it harder) and they can be picked by raking reliably and fast (the more expensive master locks are not as bad for raking) + the code master locks can be decoded but that's not something to expect
Abus is using bearing balls, can't be shimmed
Keep in mind, we are comparing locks at a specific price point against other locks at the same price point. An inexpensive lock is never meant to protect extreme valuables. For that, you want the locks we talked about at the end of the video.
However at an inexpensive price point, the Master Lock is one of the best you can get when compared to others at the same price point due to the strength of materials, but it can be bypassed, just as all inexpensive locks can.
@@LocksmithRecommended jesus I have 3 master locks. They protect nothing of value. But I literally need not bother. 3 padlocks, 3 different keys. All the keys can open all the locks by jiggling in 3 seconds flat. Only cost £1.00 each and I wasted £3.00
I don’t have any experience with shackle guards on my locks so, I have a question, will locks with shackle guards work on rv/trailer doors?
In most cases, yes. The shackle guard reduces the eligible space of the shackle to a smaller usable loop. But if that smaller loop is big enough to lock what you want locked, you're AOK.
@@LocksmithRecommended, I just saw this but, thank you.
I saw a post on how to open padlocks so how can we assure if they cant just cut easly by using any machine it takes only minutes to open the padlock
Check out our video, Can All Locks by Bypassed. ruclips.net/video/5228bTmrLCk/видео.html
What would you recommend for an enclosed car trailer?
Thank you for the video. There are so many lock picking tools out there. Is there any lock that you can recommend which is a non pickable lock.
Every lock can be bypassed with enough time using one technique or another. There is a cost versus security trade-off though. Check out our video "can all locks be picked?"
ruclips.net/video/5228bTmrLCk/видео.html
@@LocksmithRecommended thank you so much for your kind reply. I will check the video. I was just taken aback by how easy it was to pick a lock. And there picking tools available online accessible to anyone. Someone can just pick the lock and lock it when he leaves like no one was there. The owners may never even know. I am sorry about blabbing but this is something I never knew. I thought one needs to duplicate keys and even that can be done with simple moulding. I wish I could turn back time to when I didn't know about this.

@One Two Three Incorporated Good day. Thank you for the reply. I am just still paranoid that locks can be picked😂😂. There is no sense of security or privacy. It feels like anyone can walk in and out of your house without you even knowing.
You know sir, I've been looking the past two days for locks and I just don't know what to get. I'll be flying with my rifle for the first time and I'm really worried because I'd be gutted if someone stole my rifle. I have a Plano 36" case that has two built-in locks and two o-rings for another two locks of your choice. In my research, 99% of people say not to use TSA certified locks because it's a felony for them to open your gun case without you present. The TSA employees don't know this and often cut the locks which is illegal and it's a federal offense if someone steals the firearm. I don't think I'll have this problem but I just don't know what to get.
A plastic rifle case and you’re worried about the lock? Hide a tile gps tracker in the stock if you’re that worried but the best lock in the world isn’t going to protect something in a plastic case that can be picked up and carried by anyone.
This is humorous, I came to this video because I bought the combination master lock shown in the video. I got the lock and realized that it can be de-coded very easily, and wanted an actually good luck.
I don't recommend the Combination Master Lock. Any thief can Google how to bypass with ease.
This will explain everything and give you the lock you need.
ruclips.net/video/lwPHjq1XuHs/видео.html
What do you think about "Military issue" padlocks?
I am sorry. I do not know anything about them.
So I'm looking for a gym locker lock; they're not using bolt cutters in a gym. They're picking the locks. What lock is most secure against picking?
Gym locks are tricky because of the small diameter shackle. See if you can find one with a high security keyway, that will eliminate most people. Short of that, Abus makes pretty good standard cylinder locks. Pickable but better than most.
Do you recommend the master 1177d for a Penske moving truck?
Not any more. Unfortunately, that lock has been compromised. There's a new favorite. RUclips video of the new product with explanation is here: ruclips.net/video/lwPHjq1XuHs/видео.html
You can see it in our Amazon store (as well as our other recommended products) here: www.amazon.com/shop/acmelocksmith?listId=2R2RFB3YNZGFG
Master lock does not need drill protection or tough construction to resist brute force attacks because it can be opened by racking in 2 seconds.
That's true but almost all break-ins are by brute force they don't even look at the lock, doors are wrenched open at the hinges, gates are lifted off, chains cut, fences jacked apart. Apart from a few high value attacks it really is just locksmiths who pick locks.
Check out our video: Can All Locks be Picked. ruclips.net/video/5228bTmrLCk/видео.html
Appreciate the recommendations, but you might want to remove the Masterlock with the numbers on the bottom, you can pick that lock with no tools and it's all over the internet.
Thanks. Yes, after I shot the video a RUclipsr cut the lock open, found a new bypass technique, and shared it with the world. It really bothers me that people will compromise your safety and security. We can no longer recommend that lock.
@@LocksmithRecommended What do you mean , thiefs would have knowledge of that lock anyway. Sharing to the world security flaws only improve products
@@executor31 agree to disagree.
Lol nearly impossible to pick. I love hearing that. Mul-t-lock is very pick resistant but far from impossible.

@@LocksmithRecommended I will check it out. I like your videos. I get that to someone without at least some practice and skills, even a master #3 may be quickest to get into in a destructive manner. I love mul-t-lock too, awesome locks and very fun picks.
If a lock is any stronger than glass, you're doomed if the perp's intent is but strong enough to take out a window.
What do u do if u lose the key to the last 2 locks?
We would drill out the cylinder and put in a new cylinder when done.
Dam man I need help , I have a gym locker at work and found it open. Not sure if these locks are better. I was using those combo locks
Where's the link to get that specific chain because u did not post it.

Just an asides..why is the picture laterally inverted?
Sorry. Before I figured out my camera. Locksmith 🤷🏻
Another thing to consider would be the Lock Picking Lawyer!
We actually had to update on toss out one of our picks because he found a bypass technique for it after this video came out. Here's our updated video: ruclips.net/video/lwPHjq1XuHs/видео.html
My biggest problem is that there's so few online retailers for good quality locks. Its all the masterlock garbage. The best I'm finding is the ABUS 37/55 Granit, which seems OK?
Pick up an Abus lock with the Abus Plus keyway if you can. Very good lock cylinder.
Awesome video clear & top quality advice thank you Sir 👍🫡👏👌
Hello Locksmisth! Do you know of a way to make it harder to pick the MASTERLOCK M175XDLFCCSEN Resettable Combination Padlock just like the one you showed. I saw many videos and with a small picking tool, the combination can be found just wihin 2 or 3 minutes for the most experienced lock picker. Thank you!
Once that attack method was released, we went out and looked for another combination padlock. We found this one, and it's pretty great.
ruclips.net/video/lwPHjq1XuHs/видео.html
@@LocksmithRecommended Thanks for the suggestion.
The ABUS lock is pick resistant, but easily Shimmed.
The Master lock pro series took me about 3 minutes to pick after watching a video.
Everyone please buy master lock to secure your stuff.
Nope I don't recommend master lock.
Hi cool video, I also shoot such life hacks 👍 I started following you to keep abreast
I don't trust much these combinations locks, aren't they easier to pick?
Isn't it better a key only lock?
All inexpensive locks will have flaws that allow them to be bypassed. Keyed locks too. They only way to get something really secure from bypass is to upgrade to high security padlocks, and those are very expensive. In most cases, keeping general people out, one is as good as another, but to keep those that have studied locks out, high security is the only choice.
Are these locks you recommended can’t be picked by the LockPickingLawyer?
If you want something that can't be picked, you want the Bowley 543
Things to look for in a good paddock:
Me - 7+ pins with a mix of security spools, extra long pins to protect against raking/bumping, and short pins next to extra long pins to make picking harder. Add in a horrible keyway entrance and also include shimmy, drill and bypass protection.
Them - high weight, thick shackle, shackle protector. I.e. "big lock strong!!!".
Interesting how different views can be. I suppose my ideal lock would be more susceptible to a brute force attack. Meanwhile their lock could be easily raked or simply bypassed.
I just bury my items in the desert. If you find them, you worked very hard for them and deserve them.
I can easily pick through any of these locks except maybe the Multilock
Check out our video, "Can all locks be picked?" ruclips.net/video/5228bTmrLCk/видео.html
I cannot take any locksmith seriously after he has recommended an Master Lock products.

I got some Giant abus housing locks from eBay. Key way is so tight I bent a diamond pick opening it.
Are they all waterproof?
I am not sure why my supposedly good padlock wouldn't unlock. Had to spray WD40 and hit it with a hammer. Then turn key and pull shackle, repeat, until it unlocked.
Very scary when your gate is unusable due to a defective padlock.
None of them are really water "proof" but there are a number of padlocks that have weather/corrosion resistant features that should help. This one by ABUS is a very good lock. Very pick resistant. amzn.to/2Zru5km
@@LocksmithRecommended Thank you so much.
Multi Lock instead of a top of the range Abloy. That's a mater of opinion as i know a few locksmiths who use an Abloy disc lock. The Multi lock is not bad but well pickable. Disk lock cant be picked in the normal way. The special key looks fantastic, but the lock aint one id recomend.
Get a big dog and a tall chain-link fence topped with razor wire. Install lighting on 12-foot poles, along with a motion detector train horn. Get another big dog so that they have a friend to play with. Buy a cheap lock. See how that works. Also.....place the entire structure near your home, and keep a shotgun handy. A sign near the lock: "Please do not bother snakes inside".
🤣
Wher is Abloy 362 whit Protec 2
Great lock. There are a number of good high-security locks out there.
ANY PADLOCK can be cut easily with a diamond high speed cutting wheel in less than a minute. Back up your perimeter with hard wired electronics . Entry and pre entry.
The lock picking lawyer RUclips picked your best lock in 2 minutes. But he may be the best.
They had to invent a tool to do it. That guy really does a disservice to anyone trusting a lock. No feeling of responsibility, no scruples. What do you expect from a lawyer?
Check out ruclips.net/video/5228bTmrLCk/видео.html
Which is better; Abus Rock or Abus Plus Granite?
The Abus Plus keyway is very good. Go with the Granite in that keyway.

Cutting: no
Bumping: no
Picking: yes

He's not mentioning how that master lock can be unlocked easily with two hammers
I love BosnianBill and LPL...however, they hate on Masterlock WAY too much. Last time I checked, there is not an epidemic of criminal lock pickers running about. The overwhelming majority of theft can be stopped with any padlock.
I agree with you. Masterlock at it's price point, is fine for what a lock at that price point needs to do. There are certainly better, more expensive, locks available. Just depends on the level of protection needed. ruclips.net/video/5228bTmrLCk/видео.html
I have an abus 88/40 incase i need it.
What if I lose my keys ?
"Matserlock to keep the honest people honest." LOL
That is all Masterlocks are good for as 99% can be opened faster without the key.
Battery operated grinders are readily available at most stores.
And yet they're the #1 lock brand in the world.

🤣
Can you freeze the shackle and break it off?
Never tried. Arizona based company, freezing is not an issue 😂.
@@LocksmithRecommended So this appears to be a very common way to defeat locks, by freezing the shackle with compressed air in a can - turn the can upside down, spray the lock to freeze it and hit it with a hammer. I am surprised that you, as a locksmith hasn't heard of this technique. You are posting a video which compares locks, and you recommend some - but you fail to perform the single most common way to defeat a lock, used by thieves world wide. In my opinion, this is the worst review on youtube, by a non-expert who doesn't know what he is talking about. "Never tried!"
@@jkyoft78 Locksmiths tend to open locks in ways that don't destroy them so we can make a key, and customers can then reuse the lock without having to buy a new one. It's called skill Dave. I'm not sure a compressed air can upside down is going to freeze a 1/2 inch solid, tempered steel, shackle so that it breaks. Give it a try and let me know. ✌
@@LocksmithRecommended I think you have no clue, no skills, and you don't care about customers otherwise you would already know about the freezing technique as well as using thermite sticks, plus a variety of other methods. You don't even care enough to try it, you want someone else to try it, you are not even curious, and you even don't care - what kind of a locksmith are you? You seem to the perfect example of someone who works in a field but doesn't give a shit at all about it..."do the bare minimum, then go home" must be your motto.
I can't believe that someone has to tell you this - customers buy locks so that thieves can't steal their belongings - not so that they don't need to buy a new lock after they lose everything. Who really gives a crap if the lock can be reused if all their belongings are stolen?
Maybe you should check out all the other youtube videos...by actual locksmiths. This way you may learn how locksmiths evaluate various locks.
For God's sake
1) you don't even evaluate how pickable each lock is that you recommend.
2) you don't show how the locks (that you recommend) stand up to attacks
"This lock is heavy. Good! Buy it!" - this is your method of evaluation & recommendation.
Is ACME your company or are you just an employee? Mesa, AZ?
#1 thing is..DONT buy any lock thats no tested by LockPickingLawyer lol. Some are so easy to break into its insane
Just curious. Do you lock your house doors? If they're standard, it's 2 seconds tops to get in.
Two videos I'd recommend where I mention the LPL.
