  • This is the lock picking lawyer, and what I have for you today is the Compton bicycle you lock made by Rocky Mount's.

  • This is the small version of the Compton, but if you do need a little bit more room under the shackle, they also make a larger one.

  • The entire lock, including this 18 millimeter thick shackle, is made from 304 stainless steel.

  • Now that's great for corrosion resistance, but not so great for security.

  • You see three or four stainless can't be heat treated for hardness.

  • It can be work hardened.

  • But based on my tests, I don't believe they did that here.

  • And even if they did, it still wouldn't be anywhere near as robust as the high quality, heat treated steals that are generally found in the shackles of bike locks.

  • But other than the choice of material, there isn't a whole lot to complain about.

  • Here we have really beefy construction, dual non schimmel locking lugs and what I believe is a disc detainer core with eight disks that hold everything closed.

  • So let's see what it takes to pick this open.

  • First thing we're going to do is rotate all of those disks as far clockwise as they will go.

  • And I'm going to take this pick that Bosnian bill and I made and try to tension off the first disc.

  • Okay, I think I have it on disk.

  • One fine disc, too.

  • Okay.

  • To seems loose.

  • So is three.

  • For I think that's four again.

  • Okay, there's five.

  • Five is binding.

  • Got a little click there.

  • Six is binding as well.

  • Okay, I think I have six set.

  • Seven feels set and eight.

  • There we go.

  • Got a little click out of eight.

  • Back to the beginning.

  • Okay.

  • Little click out of number two there.

  • Three fields set.

  • Nothing on four.

  • Five.

  • Click out of six, and we got this open.

  • Okay.

  • Not too hard to pick, though.

  • Probably beyond the abilities of most bike thieves.

  • Personally, I would prefer a more robust metal.

  • But if corrosion resistance is more important than security in your particular application, it might be a lock to consider.

  • In any case, that's all I have for you today.

  • If you do have any questions or comments about this, please put them below.

  • And, as always, have a nice day.

  • Thank you.
