Picking isn’t really an option when it comes to Abloy disc detainer locks as you need a custom built device to pick it along with the skills to use it. However, anyone can just break the window and open the door from inside which is why I’m not particularly worried. That and the fact that I barely own anything worth stealing in the first place.
I’m not sure a video of someone successfully picking an Abloy disc detainer lock is good evidence for the claim that picking isn’t really an option when it comes to Abloy disc detainer locks.
I’ll grant that picking them is difficult, but cloning keys for them from photos is probably also more difficult than common pin tumbler locks.
Perhaps you’re not aware of who that “someone” in the video was but if it takes close to 4 minutes for him to pick a masterkeyed lock containing “dissapointing discs” by using a custom built tool, then that’s unpickable lock to 99.999% of people.
Not shown in the pic: 1 meter keychain tape measure.
FYI it’s possible to create duplicate keys from pictures of them, so I wouldn’t recommend posting pictures of your keys online
I’m aware but not worried.
That’s true, but most people with that skill can also pick locks.
