“The Most Secure Euro Cylinder Available in the UK” - Apecs AP Picked 

looks similar to the yale platinum

Certainly there are worse out there

lol, you could be right!

not quite yet!

Thanks 😀👍

Yeah, it's a bold statement!

Thanks 😀👍

I'm not sure it's false advertising exactly - depends on how they meant it

I think I have to get semi destructive

I mean, it's not a bad lock overall

Few hours earlier , I learned that Apecs is chinese brand and it's made in China , so , very good if it passed all these certifications. 😁

@@s0men00bb They're actually a Russian brand, but APECS UK is essentially a separate company who get everything produced in China (They were very clear regarding this recently due to certain global situations).

Thanks 😊

No, just buy a TS007 2* high security handle

Thanks 😀👍

also some of the tabs aren't central - ie 40mm/30mm so you need to know int and ext anyway.

Picking resistance is far from what really counts on a lock cylinder, let alone a door, for 999 attackers out of 1000.

@@NigelTolley Yes, we all know that. Thank you for repeating it.

Secure... is a very hard tern to get an objective rating on considering all the attack vectors

Yes. Lots of force

..gripping your pillow tight

(I'm not flogging Avocets - I just like them, and I don't understand how this can claim to be more secure!)

Well , it's simply true for Avocet ABS , and the rest is marketing crap. :)

ABS is a fun lock!

lol

a wee bit

cool!

Thanks Leon, mate 😀👍

Honestly, i'm probably mid tier in terms of picking, but I do enjoy it!

​@@LockNoob hi, I am on a budget, with in reason, what is a good lock, I have ultion at the moment, front and back, the normal handles, really like to have the peace of mind really,

Yeah - the Mauer NW4 is a fun one

Thanks 😀👍

hard to explain in text. Have a look for a video on the Yale superior where I take one apart - It might help

You just have to use a tension tool long enough. GxAxV did a video on it

well, you could have a point lol

Where would the false gates go?

On the sliders; it could be possible to do

As a locksmith myself I would say that pick resistance is the least worrying as, as you correctly guessed, there's basically a 0% chance of someone picking their way into your house. I've not heard of it. It's way more likely to be a lock snapped, door jimmied open, or a smashed window, etc. They want to do the quietest, if not quickest way of getting in unnoticed (so drilling is very unlikely) and picking takes too much practice and potentially time exposed at the door (picking in the comfort of your house is one thing, outside in a live locksmith situation is another - then factor in added stress if you're doing it illegally). As for drill protection, it's basically useless against something like a die grinder with the correct burr. (many videos of people destroying 'high security' cylinders such as the Ultion) with them. Or the new kid on the block is the magi burr which fits in a Dremel tool (again, lots of videos on this). I've used the die grinder on a 3* ATK and it was like cutting butter.

That's what I was thinking as soon as I saw it didn't have any sacrificial part I was worried. 5 pins as well and only 2 anti drill pins.

You're both wrong. There's a relocker inside that prevents those attacks from allowing access.

I do Barry!

A short yale superior is ok

No, not yet :-)

lol, sorry!

Chinese import sites. Google Honest Dong Shi Pick Set and you should get some options 👍

Thanks 😀👍

Depends on your budget. If you want spend over £140 there are things like the Abloy Protec2 and Urban Alps Stealth key. There are more expensive and higher security ones out there too. But since no one picks locks for crime, a solid British standard 3 star lock suits most people

Maybe you can do a recommendations video?

Who knows! it's not a bad lock overall though all things considered

lol

I am a lowly worm. I will go and eat mud…

lol

lol

Well, i dunno - Picking isn't going to be an attack vector on a lock like this so it's probably OK TBF

@@LockNoob Yeah, fairplay.
