The LISHI Schlage (SC4) pin cylinder lock pick has changed the way we pick locks. These tools will work on any 6 pin SC4 lock - even with security pins, and it will not only pick - but also decode your locks. With practice - you can also open 5 pin Schlage locks with this pick.
There's a saying among lock pickers: “There's no such thing as an unpickable lock, just locks that haven't been picked yet.” And that's pretty much all you need to know.

It is one of the only locks in the world that has never been picked. It has a hardened boron alloy steel shackle to provide resistance to bolt cutters (but is not bolt cutter proof). The padlock body is brass and the shackle and body are chrome plated, so it is very rust-resistant.
One of the most popular pick-resistant locks is the Medeco. The pin tumblers in this lock must not only be raised to a certain level, they must be turned right or left or not turned at all in order to allow the key to turn.
Lock picking is a combination of skill, training, practice, specialist tools and patience. However, trust us, that is not the profile of the typical UK burglar. UK burglars are not highly skilled, trained lock pickers. They are thugs who try and batter their way through your door and lock.
Look for locks that have a contoured shape for the internal pins or a side bar to help thwart any traditional lock-picking attempts on your home. You can also switch to one of the less common locks on the market, such as that of a dimple lock, tubular lock or rotating disc.
No locks are truly pick proof, or ensure that an intruder cannot pass them, but you can take steps to improve the security of your current external doors. If you are concerned your current lock may be vulnerable, you might want to consult an experienced Locksmith.
One of the most common (and easiest to pick) locks is the pin-and-tumbler, which is a type of cylinder lock. Cylinder locks are used in most deadbolts. When picking a pin-and-tumbler lock, put the tension wrench in the keyhole and turn it as if it was a key.
Louis Vuitton Locks
In an era where travelers transported all of their personal items in wardrobes and trunks that would attract thieves, Louis Vuitton created the only lock that was unpickable. The locks used a patented multi-pin locking mechanism and are still used today on trunks and bags.

Deadbolt door locks are the most secure type of key lock and are commonly used on exterior house doors. Single and double cylinder locks are classified by strength from Grade 1 to Grade 3. Grade 1 is the highest and provides the best security.

Schlage locks come with a solid zinc 1-inch bolt. This is larger than many bolts on the market, and it does make a difference in security. It helps to protect against attacks by kicking, sledgehammer and similar impacts.
Schlage and Kwikset are two of the most popular lock manufacturers on the market. Both brands make excellent locks that homeowners can easily install, but Schlage locks tend to offer higher security and reliability and are trusted by big businesses.

The Problem With Combination Locks
While this may sound sufficient to protect against cracking, a motivated thief can probably find the correct combination in less than an hour. Of course, some combination locks have more than three dials. And the more dials it has, the harder it is to crack through trial and error.
Picking a lock with paper clips works pretty much the same way as picking a lock with a traditional tension wrench and rake. You just need to turn two paper clips into those two very same tools, and then pick the lock with them like you'd normally do.
