Maximum resistance to picking.

@alice
I think the locks you showed me had six. Why would they brag about five?@alice
To be fair, until reading this, I figured the "high security" was about having only a very short length of hasp exposed to ye olde two handled key. -
@ohmu it's 5.
@alice
Oh. I definitely trust you on the number
It just seems like an odd thing for them to advertise -
@alice I assume it's a typo - "Maximum resistance to pickling". Put that baby in vinegar for 6 months and they guarantee it won't be a pickle by end of it. It'll still just be a disappointing 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.

@alice I don’t particularly want to test that idea, which I guess means the lock does indeed have lick resistance.

@Fruan but have you ever tasted fresh padlock?
You never forget your first one. -

If "maximum" is about 20 seconds, I'd hate to see their less-secure locks.
@alice Maximum resistance you can defeat in 20 seconds? What, did Chuck Schumer make this lock?

@alice Were they even mushroom or otherwise pick-resistant pins?

@alice@lgbtqia.space No no no, clearly it's maximum resistance to being picked by a consumer. They simply know in advance that their lock is absolute garbage and simply wanted to warn you. Someone's gotta provide the garbage-tier locks to compare against, after all, so they're really doing the world a service

@alice lovely nails indeed!

@alice Easily drilled out... There is even a jig from the manufacturer for it, complete with bit, which wears out fairly fast.

@alice lol keyway so wide you could drive through with a truck.

@alice The less secure ones have disc locks for minimum jiggling resistance.

@Fruan uh, yeeah...that sense.

@Fpccraig nope.

@sasutina13 that seems like massive overkill for a lock that's so easy to pick.
-

@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.

@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.
