(81) Brinks R80 Maximum Security Disc Padlock Picked Open

[@cjlawncare4218]

Brinks or master which is better

[@rune.theocracy]

C&J Lawncare obviously master sucks, brinks is better

[@charlesyates2208]

Neither locks only keep honest people honest .

[@Charliemmafan]

I love Harbor Freight but I think they have the absolute worst locks with Master locks being a close second and Brinks being probably third worst or something like that anyways but they're all bad sadly but the lock industry desperately needs to step up their game and finally start producing some decent locks that actually can't be picked and that can't be busted easily and provide some decent security because the industry is way behind in the times in my opinion and they really need to step up their game and finally start to put out quality products!

Great picking Bill. Yes disc locks can be a swine to pick as tension needs to be spot on and also a pain to hold. I picked a brinks disc lock that was sent to me and popped it quick. I expected more from it and thought was luck, but pops open same each time.

[@McLinda]

You're awesome! Thank you. I make my picks out of wiper blades, and, because I have never found the right sizes of wrenches, I make them out of the blades that fit on big tow trucks (not sure what size they are). And thanks to you, I have my dremel out right now, working on that pick-like wrench that you have there and I wish you had used in this video. :)

[@Bansheecat6]

just got mine open, not much feed back as you say but was still a fun pick.

[@bosnianbill]

Disposability is a distinct possibility. The latest Abus disc lock design includes a small plastic cover for the keyway. Perhaps they noticed the same thing and the number of customer complaints outweighed profit? THAT would be a first...

[@danielroglich3309]

Thanks for the review Bill

[@Johnyrocket70]

wonder if any of these disc locks can be bypassed maybe even from the hole in the rear. Adams rite style bypass

[@B13.251]

I've had a similar lock for years! I have not been able to pick it open 😕

[@bosnianbill]

Not really, No matter the bitting on a Medeco they are very difficult to pick. It isn't the bitting that gives pickers trouble, it is the pin's rotation. THAT is the tricky part. I'd say with Medeco M3s on your doors, you are in the top 1% in terms of picking resistance and security. Now go check your door frames, basement casings and windows.

[@davidferguson5444]

I find a 5/32 drill bit works very nice.

[@spearmintmonkey]

Just purchased 4 Medeco M3 deadbolts and had them keyed alike. All the keys have the same height bidding. No low/High bidding. Should this be a problem with these high quality deadbolts? Did the locksmith just do a fast sloppy job keying these alike? Thanks for the help.

[@sfjohn5]

do you have any transparent locks so we can see whats going on inside the lock O.O

[@diazaman420]

Cont. The thing you may have seen in this discus explosion Billy bouy is the majority of these knockoffs all open clockwise. Not minethough, mine r to be cest' difficile. Whats your opinion on them? Is 1 cheaper? Or stronger? Thanx Bill.

[@ACE999]

Main thing is, they are fun to pick. S'all good practice for we minions. :)

[@diazaman420]

Wow it seems everyone wants a discus in their product line. Lol I like these locks they're pleasing to the eye and oh so shiny. I do find some little intricacies that befuddle me, such as the fact that the plug is in upside down....Why? An attempt at thwarting rogue smithies? Most aren't accustomed to picking upside down, a technique, usually frowned upon by others so...but I sense more sinister applications.Springs exposed to elements, are susceptible to rust. A Disposable World is a happy.....

[@trentt559]

So I'm on the opposite side here, just curious what lock you'd recommend for use on my storage unit...or maybe all locks 🔐 are junk and our stuff is never really safe 😕 🤷‍♂️

[@diazaman420]

Cont. I own 2 the 1st one was a Master 4 pins, no security that I know of. Many people swear there is, even I seem to feel some....that was settled when sombody curiously and may I say viciously butchered one and found nothing but regular pins. 2nd I bought off flea bay. A 5 pin U-HAUL lock that was advertised as a 7 pin. it arrived with only 5 was I pissed. So I did some research and found out they indeed was a 7 pin disc by U-haul but it's a round ace style. Got my money back and kept my lock!

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

SO, if you are locked into having to use this TYPE lock due to the mating attachment on the door WHAT brand part number of lock do you recommend?

[@garrett9354]

Decided to use this as my first lock, big mistake, can't do a thing with it.

[@bosnianbill]

😋😀👍

[@Detman101]

Same here, this fkn lock is my white whale.....ugh

[@vorkev1]

Another great video and I used to have that lock and I hade no trouble to I wonder I the one I hade if it even hade security pins at all. I no longer have it tho I traded it.

[@basebilljr07]

i just started learning how to pick and i happened to have a lock similar to this lock and i can not SPP it at all i cant feel any feedback in it whatsoever i have been able to zip it open consistently however

[@bosnianbill]

Jim, My life is a series of failures strung end-to-end! I don't want to document it for you to witness...

[@brianthornton83]

The barrel actually came out of mine so easily after a year's use so I would not buy another of these locks. Just put my key in it one morning and the barrel came straight out when I tried to remove the key.

[@diazaman420]

Ps.Bro I've got a few Brinks to donate to the cause.

[@bosnianbill]

No thanks, I have about 6 myself. I've cut these open before and they are a true bitch. You have to use a die grinder, not a dremel, to cut around the seam where, unfortunately, the thick weld is. The metal is hardened throughout, not just case hardened. The easiest way through is to pick it. Second is to cut thru the hasp. Third is to attack the chain its attached to. Fourth is cut thru the pole its attached to. Fifth is cut through the target (door, hasp, etc). Last is cut the lock.

[@michaelsebourn3425]

man gave me a uhaul lock to practice on

[@Detman101]

I have literally picked every friggin lock I've ever encountered in my life with the exception of this damn sonofabitch brinks lock that I do not have the key for and CANNOT PICK! WTF!?!?!?!?!?!? How is It I cannot pick this damn lock!?!?!

[@ericberg7507]

Funny...."oops, I did it to quick"

[@datguy807]

which locks are good then ?????

[@datguy807]

ok thanks !!

[@1JRrambo]

+bosnianbill it don't make any different what lock it is I can open lock in less then 10 sec, with a blow torch !!

[@charlesyates2208]

Easyest lock to pick .

[@ButterfatFarms]

What tf my R80 package is labeled PROMAX SECURITY not MAX and says 13,000 lb cut resistance instead of 6,000 and it's 4 pins instead of 5 and uses an M1 key blank. Packaging is copyright 2023 and Made in China. Lock looks the same stainless case, stainless shackle, and R80 under the key way.
