They had to stop all that after lock sellers complained though
Yup, I heard that too. Really pissed me off. It’s really bad that lock sellers are allowed to peddle all this nonsense about their products being Gold Silver Bronze etc and will withstand theives for x minutes AS LONG AT THE THIEVES AREN’T USING THE THIEVE’S TOOL OF CHOICE.
It’s misleading garbage. I tried to start a thread a while back to gather together real people’s experience of locks so that we could get a really useful set of data together on what works and what doesn’t. We could then make informed decisions on what locks to buy, rather than relying on the Master LockSmiths Association, Sold Secure or some other advertising body.
I have this utter faith in Pragmasys products, mainly based on what Steve says. Others have faith in Almax products, due to what they read etc.
Which is great until you realise that loads of people have [misplaced] faith in tat produced by Abus etc al. Again based on the advertising and lack of information on just how easy they are to break.
For all we know, Pragmasys and Almax may also be pretty useless but until people start sharing detail on thefts and attempted thefts and what succeeeded and failed, we’re all working partly in the dark.
