[ID: The video begins with a person showing the package for a padlock. Over the video is a TikTok comment which reads “master lock has a bounty on this mans head”. The person making the video begins narrating: “You won’t believe this lock’s special feature. It’s a Master Lock model 570 maximum pick resistant pad lock. It has 5 pins, including some security pins and, if you look carefully inside the key weight, you can actully see where they put the disappointment.” The video ends with the person jamming a pick into the lock, which opens it instantly. end of ID]

As a lockpicking hobbyist: it really is like that.

I have many padlocks (and other, uh, lockable devices) to which I probably have the keys somewhere but it’s frankly quicker to pick (or in some cases, technically bypass but what most people would still call picking) the lock than find the right key.

And usually yes, that quickly.

And those tiny padlocks, to go on luggage (or, uh, other things that need tiny locks)? No need even for lockpicks, a paperclip will suffice to open it in 0.1s
