What makes a lock harder to pick than other ones? Is it possible to make a lock “unpickable”?
In: Engineering
If the lock takes a key, it’s highly probable someone can fashion a tool that can mimick the mechanism of the key.
That said, it’s a constant arms race with some very innovative engineering. Locks with magnets, locks with keys that turn corners to prevent standard lockpicks, locks that hide the pin tumbler entirely, requiring you to put the key inside another mechanism. Lots of fun little tricks.
