The moment the term "bump-resistant" came up I knew it would open by simply hitting it the right way. I love these videos.

We had wall lockers in the army of many kinds and made by different companies. Most of them had the same flaw. All you had to do was lift the door by where you put the lock, pull on the lock and push down the door. The latch or locking levers would then be moved out of their holes and the door would open without having damaged the lock. Those wall lockers were also used to store evidence. You could easily get the case thrown out by showing that the evidence wasn’t secure. It was possible to open the door without leaving any signs that you opened it.

12 years in Army Aviation. (Heli engs) Spent some time in Production Control so I am VERY familiar with NSNs and NIINs and how to order parts from crappy locks to full engines. Those locks are really only a token security measure. (Your tank thumb couldn't be more perfect!!!!) We don't use combo locks. We always use keyed locks. Tell one person the combo and 10 will know by the end of the week. Your department, section or yourself will be assigned a key or a login for the key box. Thumb print and code. The only time we use those is for lockers, duffle bags and equipment chains and by equipment I mean mobile stairs, racks, steering wheel chains and so on. They are not meant to be high security deterrents. They are really only for accountability and "safe" storage measures. It's about layers. So a rando sneaks into the base (news at 11 man shot trying to).... so ok they sneak in, get through a few fences, find where they are stored and cuts the chains or picks the lock. Now they need to get back over a few fences with MPs and cameras all over the place and somehow convince the front gate to let you drive your mobile stairs or other that's not supposed to be out here booty. I got into lock picking in 2015. I was opening all those MLs all over the base. As well as desks, hutches, closets and other we just don't want people opening whatever walking by. So the Tank thumb. Those locks are really only a token security measure that stems back to San Diego 1995. Shawn Nelson broke into a base and jumped into 3 tanks before he found one that started. No keys. Back then. That was the tank driving down the freeway event. Bad security and dereliction of duty had left the "door" open. Since then EVERYTHING needs to be locked down. Ground vehicles got chains that lock the steering wheel and helicopters got ignition wire keys that you could literally reach under, pull the two wires and tie them together. Off ya go... It's all just another security layer that gets a check mark on the old daily is this done list and does it adhere to Army regulations and the base/department SOP which are all autied over and over with more than a few "well this is very stupid but it says right there DO THIS so there ya go big brass. It's just like what the SOP states"...... As stupid as that is. WHAT DID YOU SAY. Aaaah oh nothing sir.. Just talking to myself.... Close one.... Oh and to those tossing around the old $1,000 hammers. $,5000 toilet seats. Old myth. Production control also tracks the money. Some parts might be a few $ more expensive but overall you can source parts locally if you can't order what is needed and yep. You get a military discount. There was some contractor BS going on back in the 80s and 90s with some creative bookkeeping but the integration of computers into all sections of the military meant if you charge 1k for a hammer and it gets through get ready to refund the overpay and they did. A few contractors didn't survive. We also get Private WTF is wrong with you accidently ordering crazy shit or accidently order 1,000,000 washers when they only wanted 10.... I was installing and engine and reached for the generator box and it felt a bit lighter than normal. WTF. Open the box. WTF? One guy accidently ordered the casing for the generator and just the casing. I didn't even know that was possible.... The kicker. It was more expensive than a whole and complete generator. By A LOT.... And the myth lives on when some report comes out about overspending and never looks at the refund that came right after.. LOL Ok.. I think that's enough coffee today......

My Army unit had those on absolutely everything. If we forgot the combo we just lifted it up and slammed it down and they popped open every single time. We eventually switched to the keyed version and they were just as easy to pop open. 2 seconds was all you needed to "borrow" supplies from a different unit lol 😆

I love that they still put that blue band on so many of their locks so you can tell from a fair distance that someone doesn’t care about whatever they’re ‘securing’.

I laughed like a lunatic when he smacked it gently with the hammer and it opened. I tend to scare people when I talk about security theater. Videos like this are great for showing what security is not.

We used to use locks similar to this on our furniture delivery trucks. It was super handy to be able to hammer them open, as we were forever losing/forgetting the keys. There was a point at which the locks stopped working with the keys (probably from the repeated hammering) and we just switched to hammers only.

Hi! National Gaurd Member here. Cant speak for Active Army, but we just moved lockers and they issued our entire unit these locks. Master lock is still on contract to make these locks as far as Im aware. after watching your similar videos on this topic I made that same tool out of one of my soldier's hair clips. Anytime supply is locked out of a locker i just open them (or my own for that matter) that way. I dont even remember the combination for my lock because they can be opened that reliably. *edited for spelling errors

When you're dealing with "real" security your only real metric is "delay measured in seconds". Even a goof ball left alone for long enough can overcome most physical security with patience and a hand file, so frequent inspection and alarm systems are a must. On the other hand, a highly professional and well pre-informed criminal can make short work of a padlock with det-cord. The guards are going to hear the blast at the same time as the alarm anyway, so in that case it becomes a matter of response time.... and the ability put holes in wetbags in a quick and precise manner.... which just somehow happen to be well within the field of expertize of the Marines.

We had one of those, or something similar, in my warehouse where we kept classified parts that were waiting to be shipped out. Funny thing is that these security cages are protected by military personnel only when we’re in the shop and we trust that nobody is going to try to break in to them. The actual lock itself doesn’t matter because everyone on base is expected to have enough integrity to do the right thing and leave these kinds of things alone. And while gate security might not be much more than some private contractors checking IDs, we do have sensors all along the perimeter of the base so we can tell exactly where someone was trying to get in. The ones at my base were constantly being set off by wildlife in the wooded areas surrounding the base.

There would have been ONE government use this lock would've been perfect for, several hundred years before its conception. When there was a famine in Prussia, local population didn't trust potatoes as they were a new plant, with poisonous leaves no less and would rather starved than eat it, and Frederick the Great, king of Prussia at the time, tricked civilians to stealing and eating potatoes by having potato fields guarded (and guards paid to sleep on the job). This lock would've been perfect for the storage sheds at the time!

I wonder if this is a case of "We've been told to put locks on the equipment, you know the stuff that is surrounded by armed troops at all times... get the shittiest lock you can find" And someone was like "I know EXACTLY the company for that"

What they meant to say was "High-priced, low-quality security, for high-value military property". I think masking tape offers about the same level of security 😂

The one lesson I have learned, and probably the main point, from the LockPickingLawyer: Never trust a lock. If it can opened with a key, it can be opened without a key.

We had CUCVs, military versions of pickup trucks, all of them used the same keys so a bracket was welded to the floor of the vehicle so that the steering wheel could be locked in place with a chain and padlock. The padlocks were all keyed differently.
