I just beat the Guinness world record for speed-picking by 4 seconds!
Single-pin-picking, 8 differently-keyed, 4-pin, standard¹ padlocks, in 56 seconds.
And I did it while wearing a fluffy bear suit.
¹ the current record holder used laminated Master locks with no security pins, but I didn't want all the comments on my video to be "Master lock sucks" jokes, so I used Brinks instead.
@alice Y U ALWAYS TEMPT ME ?!?!

@JorisMeys this guy's highschool sweetheart like totally ran off with a Brinks lock and he's still salty about it 20 years later 🥺
But, to his credit, Brinks locks are not secure. They do—however—survive *way* better than Master locks when used as love locks by the ocean.

@alice alright, this proves that these locks are shit.
Which ones are actually not breakable so easily?

@alice I know absolutely nothing about locks, I was just in a goofy mood and your post happened to pass by. You're the expert, I take you at your word

@bonkers actually, this proves I'm one of the fastest lockpickers in the word.
(Brinks locks are kinda shit though)

@alice congrats, glad for you. I'd still like to know what locks you can't pick.

@alice You're so fn cool. This is so fn cool. I was scrolling in bed dozing off and now I'm wide awake THISISSOFNCOOOOOL!!!!

@bonkers I've picked thousands and thousands of locks, and there are only a few that I've not been able to open so far.
But to answer the heart of your question, a lock only needs to be more secure than the weakest link in your security, and resistance to brute force (like an angle grinder, ramset, or crowbar) is going to be more important than pick-resistance in almost every case.
Most people don't know how to pick locks.
Most professional locksmiths would have trouble with a Medeco. Most hobby lockpickers would have trouble with an ACE store-brand lock, or an American 1100, or an ABUS Titalium.
Of course, none of that matters much if you have an accessible window, or some other way of getting past a lock without bothering with it.

@alice looking at your video, it seems easy to learn how to pick :))

@alice Hell yeah! Congratulations!

@bonkers sure, I teach people all the time, and I'm sure I could teach you to open one of those Brinks locks at least once in the first 15 minutes or so.
But keep in mind that Olympic gymnasts make things like double backflips look trivial, and professional powerlifters can lift 400lbs like I lift a bag of cat food.
I've put in several thousand hours of lockpicking practice since I started a decade ago.

@alice Awesome
That second to last one was a bit recalcitrant, so you could possibly improve on this

@TheGreatLlama obviously!

@davep yeah, I made three mistakes. You can see I picked up the first two locks backwards and had to flip them, then I overset a pin on the second to last lock and fumbled with it for a couple extra seconds.
If I fixed those three issues next time, I think I can get 9 locks done in 60 seconds, which would cement my record.

The only thing missing is dropping the tools nonchalantly and yelling “TIME!”.Also vibrating locks open WR 100% when?

@alice I’m wondering if you have given a shit like this a go…
I’ve seen some russian guys creating a tool to decode the lock, but it still takes a lot of time, as you need to SPP it every quarter of turn…
