I have found over the years, that companies throw the "high security" label on anything that is difficult to open with bolt cutters.

I actually bought this a 6 or 7 months ago for a gate lock. Tried to pick it multiple times via rake or single after I started locksport about a month ago. Nada. Then I watched this and realized how much tension is needed (way more than you'd expect) and bingo...got it while single pin picking about 5 times in a row. Just tried again and it's like I lost my feel for it. Oh, well.

amazon is filled with people just reselling stuff from china, but with a way higher price tag.

At the mechanics shop I work at, they work great cause they’re frozen all of the time, and I doubt the average petty thief carries a blowtorch.

That's the lock we used on our house, and we got burgled :(

To be fair, most Amazon choice items are the best quality and/or value. I think they get that rating based on reviews and the amount of returns they get.

This looks like a good Lock to get to lock up something you intentionally WANT someone to steal... cause the Item to Steal is a Red Herring.

I'm looking at the key and I cannot figure out how that key is supposed to interact with five pins. Are three of the pins 0 cuts??
Barefoot
Heh, well... I'm guessing it's considered "high security" because it's hard to break or cut, since those things take no skill at all, and lockpicking isn't all that common of a skill. As for "Amazon's Choice"... I've worked quite a bit with Amazon Marketplace sellers in a marketing role, and I can virtually assure you that it's just some sort of (probably quite simple) algorithm based on average rating, number of reviews, relative price within its class, and Amazon's relationship with the seller. There are probably also some go/no-go gates such as being in the "Ships from Amazon" club. I'm sure Amazon doesn't actually do any professional reviews, though they do put something of a premium on reviews by verified purchasers (people who bought the product on Amazon). So essentially, it's whatever product in its category that large numbers of _ordinary people_ who've bought it think is pretty good at what it does and priced fairly. I consider it a pretty reliable tag for a lot of kinds of products... but security products would surely not be in that category.

it would be pretty shocking if I ever saw a lockpickinglawer video where he concluded the lock was good
Mandrake Fernflower
Oh crap - I think when my grandma died she had something like this on her storage unit! The key was ginding and we couldn't open it so the building's repairman just cut it off

The Amazon "choice selection" is ONLY based on ONE THING, how much profit they make from selling the product
Adam Major
The only time that is secure is when you are high.
Keiya
Amazon's Choice because when your shit is stolen you gotta buy more from amazon
cho4d
When you see amazons choice you just need to think of Elzar from Futurama recommending the pasta. "It's got a reeeeeal nice profit margin".
General Nickles
The selection process for "amazon choice" products is just products that have good reviews and Amazon offers them a deal where amazon gets a portion of the sales in exchange for putting "Amazon's choice" on the listing to attract buyers.
Bert Blankenstein
In other news, Amazon will no longer recommend locks to LPL.

The problem is marketing. People believe they need a high security lock to secure their shoe rack. Hence a high security lock is one just good enough to secure a shoe rack.

I think with these locks they are focusing more on the aspect that you cant cut the lock with a bolt cutter.

While I do agree it's fairly easily pickable, it isn't necessarily easy to pick. These locks are usually 5 inches recessed into a round hole making externally difficult to even get a good position. Not only that but the hole itself is fairly hard

No mystery about Amazon Choices - it's just a marketing gimmick. They don't really check products out in detail and make a decision based on value or suitability or quality. And in any case you all should be ashamed of yourself for using that company! It's contributing to the destruction of independent retailers and city centre or community shops across the world.

Despite everything I've seen on this channel I still believe locks are way more secure than they use to be. Locks have gotten a whole lot better over the years. They use to be terrible for things you actually needed some real security. My grandma's family lost the key for their car at one point and just used a serrated knife instead. It worked everytime. At least you need some skill to steal a car now.
