NOT JUST BIKE LOCKS vulnerable. vending machines, alarm systems, washers/dryers..
 

damn , news flash i just saw on tv showed some guy opening all sorts of locks with the same method. i.e. ball point pen..

Coincidently the news guy went to an office supply store and they reported a huge increase in sales of ball point pens :thumbsup

all the time i spent in school and it was all in the damn pen.

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

could have just spent all day outside ripping off expensive bikes by the truckfull...

1) It only works on badly designed locks. Most tubular locks require more than a 1/4 turn to unlock, meaning they have to be picked a few times, whereas cheaper ones, and badly designed ones, such as kryptonite ones, can be pick with less than a 1/4 turn.

2) www.lockpicks.com. Buy a tubular pic, and / or a lock pick set and MOST locks will be rendered 'worthless'. The locks the city government here uses to lock their bridges can be opened with a paperclip..

Site it down.

good information to know!

Just wondering how many people on GFY have tried this since it came out?

All of these can be opened in under 15 seconds with about 2 weeks practice.

This sucks.
Bike thefts will likely be on the rise now.... :/

I tried it on an old u-lock i had and it worked, i also tried a vending machine and a washing machine.. The vending machine was new and i ran out of time. The washing machine worked fine..

I just find it amusing how the dude who knows the most about picking locks also has a peeping tom sig. Not implying anything, just find it amusing :thumbsup
