Not just them, but some other locks using similiar round keys...

(kryptnite D-locks were never all that secure, i broke my old one with a volvo car jack and a steel pole, took about a minute inclduign lots of faffing around trying to fit the jack in)

My dads a master locksmith and works with the police. Those Yellow crappo disc locks that people put on there car steering wheels (usually dumb micra drivers) he has of in under 7 seconds.

The best in-car security, I know this is a little off-topic, is the multi-lock gear change restrictor.

I'm always impressed but what the pros can do to locks, we managed to lock both sets of keys inside our strongroom in our old branch- a secure area containign ATM, blank cheque books, draft books, and about quarter of a million in cash. The guy came out from the locksmiths armed with a screwdriver, a mallet, and a can of chewing gum remover. Squirted a little water into each lock, sprayed them with the chewing gum remover to freeze it, and then shattered the lock barrel with the screwdriver. All 3 locks were done in under a minute, and they were pretty top flight locks- way better than is, for example, on your house front door.

I'll have to ask him about that

I do remember him having a set of special picks that the security services (MI5 and such) use to open doors. I had my garage door open in seconds and I was 8 at the time. Well impressive! Come to think of it I better see if he's still got them..

For motorbikes he only recommends the Black & Decker Bulldog at £80. Most the stuff is cheap steal from China.

This sounds like a load of b*****t scaremongering to me.

I challenge anyone to send me a lock and a standard pen that opens it and I will test it personally.

I have to agree at this point that it sounds unlikely. Please do prove us wrong.

Been hearing on too many forums about people being able to do it tho...
