I didn't see the brand, but I think they mentioned they were just basic door locks they picked up at Home Depot.

These guys aren't thieves, they're hobbyists competing at a convention. If you're a thief and break into houses on a regular basis, you won't be going to conventions and flaunting your skill. This is a hacking convention. Hackers take pleasure in doing things that require skill and/or are challenging.. Lockpicking requires skill, and these people pick locks for purely recreational purposes. Besides, there are much easier ways to break into a house: bump keys, bricks through windows and whatnot.

I think someone is jealous of all the geek women that we have...

So, i have seen alot of comments about ''nerds'' and how ''nothings safe with these nerds.'' Okay well if it wasn't for nerds people wouldn't have their precious computers and the things that have made this new era of technology.So in a very simple way of saying things, suck on it.It is nice to see some skill being used like in this video.*Nerds come in all shapes and sizes*

if it really is just a front door lock then these guys are retarded, picking a house lock like that is pretty easy with tools. they make it look a lot harder in the movies than it actually is

crowbars, hammers, dressin up like the pizza delivery guy, and teleportation the list goes on

you fail, thats a year old ... I'm sure I was on something.

*looks it up anyway* hah picture of me, thanks ... would have never know if not for your ingenious comment

[MikeyIckey]

look up the definition of 'Cretin'.

[ozolexil]

ya they can even brag to women "hey i broke this safe and that one. stole a few diamonds here and there.."

[TehChaps]

these nerds could go to your house and pick every lock to get in, and those little safes they can pick, nothings safe with these nerds.

[CptIncaino]

Stfu. That nerd can take your lock to your home that 'protects' your family or friends and change it so you get locked out. STFU. Without him you wouldn't know shit about locks. Not them in this video but them being locksmiths.

that is not an average time, learn the meaning of the word average, lol.

[siphter13]

yeah it was a bit of a degrading joke, but just a joke ... i think I said it because ElJefe was being a tool, personally I would still his stuff to get laid but I'm married now soooo... I dont think the wife would like that
