Our own attempt to defeat one of our Ft. Knox Locks

- By request, we did a follow-up video showing an attempted defeat using the same parameters as we used to defeat a "kncok-off" of our Andersen Ultimate. But we did one better using a bigger crow bar and a much bigger sledge hammer. Needless to say, we were pleased with the outcome.
Milton, I wanted to say thank you for creating such a durable lock. I have owned mine for about 6 months now after purchasing my new 5th wheel and Andersen hitch. Everyone who has seen it were extremely impressed to include the RV dealership where we bought our camper. I think it was worth every penny!
I think the casing is fine, but I'll bet I can drill that lock in less than 60 seconds and manually actuate the mechanism. The lock casing itself is not hardened steel which itself is a design flaw.
you should put a nice trailer in a bad area in New Jersey and let the crooks do the testing. That would be great R&D. (Post the videos of the experiments on YT for extra advertisement and revenue)
I'm sold.
Battery operated hand grinder on one of the curved surfaces?
I love this lock. It gives me time to slap a magazine in my Glock 9mm while crooks are making all that noise trying to bust the lock off. What happens after that is anyone's guess.
Why would you need to "slap a magazine" in? Should already be in there. :)
@@MrHtrnsc If you have all that extra time may as well just grab the AK
@@feez357 I'm an AR kinda guy. You know, if I actually owned any guns.
@@ktube4848 do you have a link to that video or the title of the video? I have seen his channel, but the only video I can find close to this is of him drilling a proven industries puck lock in around 30 seconds. However, not all puck locks (or locks in general) are created equal. Anyway, if you have more info on that video it would be appreciated. Thanks.
@@ktube4848 I would like to see the proof of that video also and a video defeating this puck lock in 3 seconds. Aluminum and steel. Thank you!
Have you tried CW or GUSHILL locks?
I would like to see the "lock picking lawyer" give it a try.
Send one of these to LockPickingLawyer, I bet he can non destructively get it open in under 2 minutes
Thanks for the demos. Have you ever tried to break open a Proven Industries hitch lock? Also, for you puck locks, which ones are less prone to drilling? Thanks.
we have not, primarily as just from looking at their locks the same thing that would be required to defeat their system is the same as would be required for ours. once you introduce power tools like an angle grinder or a cutting torch there is nothing out there that can stop that. so it would be unfair of us to show a video of us defeating their lock using a cutting torch when the same could be done to ours.

@@miltonodom8095 Thanks for the info. Yes, I have since bought your lock for my trailer. At first I did not like the yellow box, but now after using it and having parked my trailer visible from a busy road, the yellow box says "don't even bother approaching the trailer as an opportunist."
I’ve seen multiple photos of Proven locks destroyed and pried off in five minutes. I’m looking for something better. So far, this looks to be the best one available.
The hinge point on the back is the weak point, battery operated grinder, buzz the welds, knock the pin out, pry the halves.
The puck lock acts as a secondary hinge, it still wouldn't open even if you cut rhe hinge
Is there any way to make these more resistant to battery powered grinders or sawzalls? Those things are so cheap now.
Unfortunately if someone has power tools there is virtually nothing that can be done to prevent that, luckily most thieves dont like taking the time or making the noise that it would require to do so.
Very nice heavy duty locks no lock is impenetrable. Thieves will drag a bumper pull trailer by the safety chains and take it somewhere and cut it off with torch. Can't do that with gooseneck tough just make sure to lock jam nut too.
I hope this earns you much-deserved positive publicity. I wonder if your local news channel might be willing to air this as an example of outstanding commitment to quality and service that is so rare these days. I'll also repeat my comment that I posted on the other video where you had this combined with the defeat of that copycat lock. "Thank you Milton and Chad and Ft Knox Locks! I am one of the people who pointed out a possible avenue of attack using a crow bar. I was confident that the lock would hold, but I wasn't sure if it could be damaged enough to make it impossible to remove, which was my main concern. Full disclosure - I own the Ft Knox Anderson lockbox like the one in this video, and that's why I was concerned. I reached out to Ft Knox and was gratified that they took my concern seriously and actually tested it - something I didn't want to do on my own lock, for obvious reasons. You just earned yourself a life-long customer and advocate for Ft Knox Locks. It's great to know that there are still companies who truly care about their product and about their customers. "
How much?
Don't forget your lock in the video was held tighter in both the rectangular piece and welds. The lock was getting the entire force of the blows AND the crow bar. When on an actual gooseneck coupler it has a slight bit of play. That slight bit of movement will reduce the effect of the blows or crow bar prying. HOPEFULLY the trailer is in an area where such attempts would cause attention. If the trailer is secluded enough to do everything that you did in this video they will do much more than you did!!! If it is secluded, the trailer owner needs video to be notified when someone is there. Otherwise your locking system IS the best I've researched and seen!!!
I see several areas I could prolly cut through with a battery powered grinder ..30 secs or less..
Pry bar and sledgehammer are dinosaur old school tools buddy..
Have you seen the LockPickingLawyer pick these Locks Quick and quietly on RUclips..
Both the Lock Picking Lawyer and Bosnian Bill consider the Abloy cylinders to be un-pickable.
@@miltonodom8095 I've seen Him Pick the Lock!
@@QuietStormX like you, I also have seen both of them pick puck locks with various brands of cylinders in them, but the cylinder in the puck lock in our test was an Abloy Sentry cylinder which both Bosnian Bill and LPL agree are un-pickable. But fortunately for all of us, LPL and BB are not out there trying to steal trailers.
Where is the link to their videos picking this lock?
@@MrHtrnsc (ruclips.net/video/xVtHiX12TVw/видео.html)
Fortunatly bad guys dont have cutting torches.
What if they just drilled it out through the key opening?
2 out of three of the locks we sell have built in drill resistance (the cobra-7 has a tip on the face of the cylinder that will make starting very challenging, while the abloy has a recessed stainless steel spinner that will catch with a drill and prevent it from making any further progress.)

Can I have it
Haters will say it’s fake
That was truly a bad WWE performance when you were trying "so hard" to pop the lock off 😁, followed by "bending my crowbar"🤡..
Seems you got a bunch of people fooled here though, so good on you for a successfully deceiving video👏
well its somewhat bound to look comical when you are putting your entire body into something and its not even budging, but thank you for your keen insight into physics and the tensile strength of plate steel!
@@miltonodom8095 redo the video then homie! prove that the lock won't bust open by showing a bent or broken crow bar.
Can you please try to broke it with the bar again for a little bit more of time? :) Until the bar “bends”? Everyone knows you were going to break the hell of the lock. What the heck 😂
A guy showed how to open this in 30sec ..😂by just drilling a whole in the middle of the lock
Different puck lock where the locking lug is oriented towards the face of the puck lock, doesn't work on these puck locks
I guess golfing is not your fortay.
Stop all that pounding and quietly just pick the lock.....
The cylinder that we used in this video is an abloy sentry cylinder and is widely considered one of the most difficult locks to pick.
