Unpickable Locks Do Not Exist.
The HYT Chain Key
Just as the name suggests, this lock has a loose chain injected into the lock. The keyway has a curve which is designed in such a way that it makes lock picking difficult using standard locks. Therefore, you have to use the original key to be able to open a door locked using this unpickable lock.
Guarantee the safety of your most valued possessions using the unpickable padlock. Lightweight and easy to carry, it features a deadbolt 5 pin design that is extremely resistant to all forms of attacks like bumping, raking, and picking.
When executed correctly, lock bumping is effective in nearly 90 percent of all cylinder-type locks produced today. Perhaps one of the most disconcerting aspects of lock bumping is that it can often go undetected, which means that your home can be broken into without any signs of forced entry.
Can it be Picked? In order to pick a lock, you must be able to reach each pin with the picking tool while applying a pre-torque to the lock. In order for a tool to reach the pins in the Bowley Lock, it must be shaped like a reverse fork, similar to the key.
Pick-resistant locks have an extra set of tumblers or locking apparatus so that, in effect, the key has to do two things at once. Because of their resistance to manipulation, these locks are also resistant to key bumping. One of the most popular pick-resistant locks is the Medeco.
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.
Most Master Locks are very easy to pick and are considered one of the easiest beginner locks when practicing lock picking. They have 4 standard pins and a wide-open keyway that can be quickly bypassed in many ways including picking them with improvised tools such as paperclips, bobby pins, or even a chicken bone.

Deadbolt door locks are the most secure type of key lock and are usually used on a home's exterior door. Available in single- and double-cylinder styles, deadbolts are rated according to their strength from Grade 1 to Grade 3. A Grade 1 is the highest grade and provides the most security.
CR's take: The Medeco Maxum 11TR503-19 is the strongest deadbolt across all of our lock categories. It rates Excellent for drilling, withstands kick-ins very well, and is designed in a way that makes it very difficult to pick.
The "bumper" needs to bump the key hard enough to jar the pins, but not so much that the lock or key is damaged. Bumping the key causes the pins to jump slightly. Even this slight amount of motion is enough to allow the bump key to turn the cylinder, unlocking the lock.
The BHMA/ANSI has three, separate grades for deadbolts, simply labeled grades 1 through 3. Grade 1 is the highest quality, and the most dependable deadbolt you can have. Grade 3 is your average deadbolt which will provide an accepted, but minimal, level of security.
Can Kryptonite Bike Locks Be Cut? Unfortunately there isn't a lock out there that can't be cut. That being said, the Kryptonite Fahgettaboudit Mini's 18mm hardened steel shackle is impossible to crop by hand with bolt cutters.
Hacksaws
And just like the cable cutters, it will tear through a cable lock very easily. With enough time, a hacksaw will also cut through low quality u-locks and chains which tend to be made from thin, soft metal.
The best bike lock
With a dual-locking hardened 13 mm shackle, an included cable, and a free year of anti-theft protection, the Kryptonite New-U Evolution Mini-7 is a good deterrent at a reasonable price.
