      What's the problem with different shades/colors - it's different products! (One is 60 mm, the other is 75 mm, and they are made from different materials.)
      The big problem is that both locks have laughable flaws.

      Given that they don't care for stuff though in Econ 101 class, it's no wonder they completely dropped the ball on actually making a semi-decent product.

    I bought a lock once…it was in 4th grade when the school let us start riding are bikes to school. It was one of the barrel locks with a four digit code. We sat there at lunch and we all took turns opening it without knowing the combination. Took 4th graders about 5 mins a try to open it. That was back in about 1977. I have a bike lock now called my apartment. Which has fire SaFtY doors so no security other than the town I live in is an old folks retirement village with a negative crime rate.

      If I had to guess though, YT has locked you out of your account and that is the only lock you can't pick!

    60 and 75 identify with the number of milliseconds it takes for LPL to bypass their crappy security

    These are _HERMEX Basic_ brand locks. "Basic" referring to the lock-picking expertise necessary to open them.
