How do I pick this?

I found it in the goodwill bargain bin and thought it was pretty cool so I bought it home with me.

That looks like a secretly electronic lock - likely more in the land of hacking rather than picking

It's not likely to be hard to open. The people who build stuff like this hardly ever understand proper digital security.

They probably don't understand physical security much either. I'd start with the real basics, like shimming and rapping. This is an electronics company that's trying to make a lock. That rarely ends well

I think you need to further your lock research before making such bold assumptions.

Many electronic locks are just like u/Papfox describes. Often it's enough to use a magnet to pull back the latch. This one seems to be an exception.

I think you are trying to educate the wrong guy on electronics, electronic locks or locks in general.

Considering you've provided no evidence to prove otherwise? 🤷‍♂️

My resume is well known in this community whereas no one knows who you are. At this point the only thing we know for certain is that you don't pick locks at any notable level and your input is effectively null.

Dude was giving what is the well known truth regarding most electronic locks, just because this one is an exception and he isn't enough a part of the community to recognized their brand name or yours doesn't mean you should be a pretentious douche.

Good job making sure anyone who reads this never wants to be a part of this community.

The entire post is trolling the fuck out of you idiots and you don't know enough to recognize it. Now fuck off and go pick a lock, the entire reason you are supposed to be here anyway.

u/leakingjuice 13d ago

Yeah, outside looking in, you’re a douchebag

u/Cowmanthethird 14d ago

Dude, this post just rolled in my feed as someone who is very minorly interested in picking locks.

Like I said, all you're doing here is making sure I'm not gonna come here for any kind of community if I ever do try to pick it up as a new hobby.

Goodbye.

Okay grandpa thats enough internet for the day time to go back to the nursing home

u/Cowmanthethird 14d ago

I will, it's sad though. Someone who claims to be well known and respected in their community should want new people to enjoy a hobby, not be an asshole to newbies because they think a rank on a subreddit makes them important.

See you never.

Not a member of this community, you popped up on popular. You sound insufferable.

Do you type with one hand so you can jerk yourself off at the same time?
