When one searches for a padlock, it's the master lock model.

1 41 D.

Now it's $6.48.

I fully understand that you can't expect a robust, pick resistant product.

However, you should reasonably expect a product that is free of egregious design flaws.

Unfortunately, this Amazons choice Master Lock does not fulfill that expectation.

The problem is that each one of these locks can be opened in a second or two using a comb pick like this.

It's a device designed to lift all pins out of the corps, allowing it to turn freely.

Now this is not new or novel.

The method has been known to security professionals for over 80 years.

In fact, it first appears in patent applications as early as 1934 and because it is so well known, most lock makers incorporate design features to foil this tool.

However, that is not the case here, so let me show you just how fast and easy it is.

So while we're at it, I also have some master lock model 1 40 twos thes air, the exact same lock just with different color plastic on the outside.

And it just so happens that it's Amazon's choice when one searches for a keyed lock for a gym locker.

And, of course, it is vulnerable to the same exploit.

So, folks, it is honestly baffling to May.

How so severe?

A flaw that's been known for so many decades and it's so easy to fix could still be present in a modern production padlock.

But what should be clear is that Amazon's choice for a padlock should not be your choice.

In any case, that's all I have for you today.
