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.
I know who LockPickingLawyer is, and I know that disc detainer locks are hard to pick.
My point is that cloning keys from pictures also requires specialized equipment (or a file and a very high level of skill). The only real exception is standardized keys someone might recognize like the Ford fleet key. Those used to come up in an Amazon search for “police car key”.
Pretty much this. But it’s a 600lm headlight (petzl) to keep hands free, and the knife is an carbon steel (opinel) which are much, much sharper than rvs.
Carbon steel isn’t inherently sharper than stainless. It’s just easier to get sharp. In the case of Opinel, much of why it cuts so well is due to the single bevel grind on the blade which makes the apex incredibly thin.
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.

The only one you could copy from this picture is the Nissan and no one who knows how to do this is going to bother stealing a Nissan
Yeah this pick has big Altima energy. Probably not much worth stealing
Is that a Bugout? If you’re not already aware of !pocketknife@lemmy.world you might enjoy that comm, it’s got a lot of great content
That does look like a Bugout, and maybe the mini, too. That looks really nice.

Kizer has improved upon benchmade’s axis lock. Dropbear it’s adjustable and they’ll sell you one in LC200N
