All locks are easy to pick, have you never watched the LPL or Bosnian Bill

Yes. Love them. But didn't that big fat lad from VD reckon he could open the locks with a biro?

I don't believe that's the case anymore, although I could be wrong.
The LPL can pick anything but concensus seems to be that scrotes pretty much never pick locks

Apologies for the confusion. It was the Hiplok that I'd suggested and showed an image [much] earlier in the thread.

That was the 'tubular' type keys. IIRC it cost one lock manufacturer a small fortune in supplying replacements.
A few years back, in the office, the key to unlock a laptop from a caddy was lost. One of the lads chewed a pen lid to soften it, lock open.

An Angle grinder that will go through a pukka chain will make light work of a few welds !
