Maximum resistance to picking.
-
@alice in the sense of “Now I know never to do that again”, one presumes.
@Fruan uh, yeeah...that sense.
-
@alice Were they even mushroom or otherwise pick-resistant pins?
@Fpccraig nope.
-
@alice Easily drilled out... There is even a jig from the manufacturer for it, complete with bit, which wears out fairly fast.
@sasutina13 that seems like massive overkill for a lock that's so easy to pick.
-
@alice lol keyway so wide you could drive through with a truck.
@er4z0r I actually had to use "top of the keyway" rotation, because it's a relatively short keyway, and the pins are long, so a turning tool and pick are hard to fit with room still left to work.
-
@alice The less secure ones have disc locks for minimum jiggling resistance.
@lexLohr do you mean wafer locks?

@lexLohr do you mean wafer locks?
@alice Ah, yes. Sorry, I am used to the German names and this one doesn't translate 1:1.

@alice Ah, yes. Sorry, I am used to the German names and this one doesn't translate 1:1.
@lexLohr ah, I what's the German name? And is "disc" a reference to the wafers, or something else in that style lock?
-
@Fruan you might be on to something.
Of perhaps it's "Maximum resistance to licking"? You'll never make it to the Tootsie roll core.

Maximum resistance to picking.
If "maximum" is about 20 seconds, I'd hate to see their less-secure locks.
@alice This is like the countdown to eyaculate xD

@alice The German term is "Scheibenschloss". And yes, it's in reference to the wafers that interlock with the core unless pushed exactly into the middle. The interlocking part is sometimes called "Schwalbenschwanz" because of its profile.

@alice I hear ya. My current focus are small size German padlocks as that's what I'm most likely to encounter on a job (I live in Germany). The problem there becomes: My TOK tensioners are too deep so they tend to touch the first pin causing trouble. I generally wonder if I want a better assortment of tensioners

It is U-Haul and designed to offer minimal resistance for lesbians, and those women or AFAB embies who love women

Very pick resistant to Peeps

@mangled_pixel Blue paint just washes right off it.

@er4z0r IME touching the first pin isn't big a deal, as long as I know it's a thing and don't mistake it for binding. But, that said, I rarely use TOK unless it's necessary, as (especially with love locks) accidentally popping your prybar out and off a bridge sucks.

@alice What does it take to pick a discus lock? I have a bunch in my collection but haven't managed to get any of them open.

@eedly @mangled_pixel @alice @Fruan But it's tripping the whole time.

@alice oh those things are awful... manufactured of stamped steel to the absolute loosest of tolerances, they're trivial to defeat. If you ever rent a storage unit and it comes with one of those locks, throw it away/return it and use your own.
