LockPickingLawyer has picked just about any and every single lock there is known to mankind. Would love to see him up against this!

Would make for some great content.

He generally only shows locks he knows how to pick. Unlocking is the payoff to the video and I don't think I've seen a single video where he didn't succeed, but if you read between the lines on his older videos, you notice him talking about the locks he recently learned to pick, locks he's never been able to pick, and so on.

He's very good, but he's not infallible. He just doesn't show his failures.

The only one I've seen was the Bowley lock. But yeah I sent my unpickable lock to him and he never mentioned it. :(

Upvoted you, because I think your design uses a very similar idea as the one posted by OP, but its design is more simple /elegant.

Nice vid! You can print one of these for just 30 GBP? You know high end locks go for a lot more than that right? You could be printing money!

Yep the nice Abloy ones go for over three hundred livres Anglais.

But nobody is going to buy a single thing that the insurers haven't approved.

Maybe partner with a firm that will get insurance approval then? Could help with distribution as well.
