Here are how padlocks are made. Every hobbiest lockpicker knows exactly why this is a flawed design. The ball berrings to hold the latch allow the shackle to be Shimmed.

  • LOL! Nothing gets a lock off easy like a set of bolt cutters. >:)

  • this is an awesome video, but joshuacodywilson is right, the ball bearings make the lock so that it CANT be shimmed. There is no space for the bearing to push into the lock when the cylinder is locked.

  • "It's time for the folks at the factory TAH lock up for the day"

    Hey narrator, learn English please.

  • Too bad masterlocks can be easily picked.

  • Why do they machine the shackle ball bearing notches after heat curing (hardening)? Seems like a hard way to do things.

  • its time for the folks at the factory to... tsk, lock up for the day... LOLATRON

  • ball bearing designs cannot be shimmed open

  • mmmmh yea but it looks like every lockpicker on youtube can pick it in a few seconds with a paper clip^^

  • It is still easy to pick. Those Magnum locks. They should change their cylinders.

  • I belive it is the Master (Magnum) Lock. It cost me $64.00 for 1.

  • What model of Master are those with ball bearing?
