Remember that abus lock that shot its parts at him when he cracked its hinge?

My dad booby-trapped his own lock at university - adding an extra hole and pin that would drop down when the cylinder was rotated. This was done because he knew that someone else had obtained a copy of a staff member's master key and was going into rooms. True to form, he set it up and went to class, and when he returned the other guy's key was right there in the lock.

Imagine if the position of the traps were random. It would be quite unpickable, right? You wouldn't know which pins needed to be pushed twice and there would be a great risk of simply destroying the lock.

@IaCthulhuFthagn

You could feel for the additional shear lines when picking and figure out which positions have trap pins before ever attempting to turn the cylinder, so while it would complicate matters significantly, it's still a feasible attack. Now, with a thick enough wafer, you could have the hollow ground into the wafer rather than in the driver pin (at this point it'd be more like a middle driver pin of a master keyed lock), so basically the second shear line becomes the trap instead. And then you could randomly mix and match between the two. Six pins all with one safe and one trapped shear line, with a 50/50 shot at which is which... and not that much more complicated to machine, though assembly would be more involved. Bonus points for the fact that it would feel like a proper master keyed lock to all but the most careful pickers. I am sure someone could learn to feel the difference in the pin surface that's biting or something, or that I have missed some obvious bypass, and this certainly weakens the lock to destructive attacks trying to turn the core, but still.

Maybe it's actually better if it's manufactured consistently this way. This lock can only be picked if you know the trick, but even if you know the trick you'll only double check 3, 4 & 5. This leaves the lock owner the possibility to modify your lock by adding a fourth trap pin, to trick the people who *thought* they knew the trick. But then again, if you are capable of doing that you could just as well modify any other lock to get the same effect.

So cool that these technologies have existed for decades, yet modern manufacturers keep using easily defeatable designs.

This does raise a valid concern. I suppose the property owner would need to weigh the possibility of inconvenience against locking out a would-be thief.

One option would be to (in some cases) hollow out the wafer, not the driver pin. That way, you would have to only pick that pin to the first shear line, and picking to the second would set the trap. Even knowing the type of lock would then be little use, unless you could feel the difference between hollow driver and hollow wafer, as either could have been used in each position.

I think that even a single trap-pin out of 6, in a random position, would raise the security a ton. Combined with serrated pins for the remaining 5. The serrated pins would lead to the belief that you´ve already picked the trap-pin correctly, thereby getting it more false than correct most of the time.

It was mostly because he had to be very sure pins 2,3, and 4 were set to the right sheer line. If he didn't do that, and turned the lock, the core would have bound up on those hollow pins and he would have had to pop the top off the lock to get it to move again. Trapping pins like this is a great way to make an average lock into a very pick-resistant lock.

"Nothing's ever locked." - LockPickingLawyer

So, if you get home and your key won't open your door, it might not necessarily be that your wife has changed the locks, it may just be that someone unsuccessfully picked your lock.

I just had a great idea for how to make this basic idea into a near unpickable lock, even if you know the trick. You could have split pins in every position, but which half has the trap is random. Every pin would have two detectable solved states, but you couldn't test for which on is the right one without turning the cylinder and possibly seizing up the lock. There would be 64 possible combinations and you only get one attempt, so a 1.56% chance to get it right, even if you know what you're working with. For added security you could split the pins into even more parts. 3 sections on every pin would give you 729 possible combinations (0.14% chance).

I've had a thought about an anti pick lock. The key has 5 pins, but the lock has 6. One of the pins in any of the positions, would be a switch. Which when pushed up by a picker. Would just lock the cylinder. Only a special magnetic key could then unlock the cylinder.

@833psz

A plug spinner is not a picking or bypass device. It is a simple tool that uses a spring under tension to spin the plug very fast. It is not frequently discussed on these type of channels because these YTers pick lock cylinders that are not actually attached to a real lock (except padlocks). When these lock cylinders are installed in the full locks, say a deadbolt, lever handle or exit device, there can be certain restrictions on which way the plug turns to unlock the lock. For example, you may need to turn the key left to retract the bolt on the deadbolt in your front door. Turning the key to the right it will simply come to a solid stop. If I were to picked your deadbolt, due to manufacturing tolerances, it may pick very easily to the right. However this won’t allow me to unlock the lock even though the cylinder is picked. So once the cylinder is picked in the wrong direction we wind up a plug spinner and it will spin the plug so quickly in the opposite direction that the pins don’t have a chance to drop back down and lock up. So even though we picked it right, we spin the plug left and open the deadbolt. He should mention which plug spinner he used and demonstrate the claimed 9/10 failure rate. I dispute that. Those look like standard replacement LAB springs in the tear down, there is little chance they can overcome the force of a plug spinner. I suspect he is either improperly winding the plug spinner so it’s under light tension, only stopping near the trap grooves. Or he’s got a bad plug spinner (it’s not a tool very useful to lock sport enthusiasts).

Probably not the right lock for your front door, but if you're a business and want stuff in your records room (or a store room) to stay there no matter what, this feature wouldn't be an issue. The cost of replacing the door probably would be much less than what the room's content was worth. 20 years ago I worked with high-level cryptographic keystore cards for servers. Those were very expensive (we're talking 5-digit prices) and couldn't be transported by plane because the elevated radiation up there triggered their self-destruct mechanism. You could configure them to self-destruct when losing power without being shut down properly (with password) first. They had light (visible, ir and uv) sensors inside their casing, etc. And their self-destruct actually fried the silicon, not just erased the data. Those were used by credit card processors---they just could not afford their private signing keys to be stolen. Re-buying the hardware and creating a new key was a small price to pay for them.

In traditional mass production it might be an issue, its not economical to produce all possible permutations. With modern cnc machining it is feasible but it would be very expensive to setup a production line like that. You would either produce different permutations in batches and mix them up or even better dynamically reprogram. There are 64 possible combinations so the batch system might be more efficient.

If the keyway isn't recognizable, yes. That way lock pickers would have to always, with every lock and every pin, check if there are multiple shear lines. If it's recognizable, you'd just push every pin to the second shear line for those locks. If you would be smart, you'd just turn around the order of hollow-pin and the insert, so that with some pins you engage the trap with the first line, and some pins with the second one. I imagine that would be rather expensive to manufacture, and would be too much effort for most lock-makers, sadly.
