Home Security -Master Lock Weakness

The Master Lock 175D

It is easy to open up a Master Lock 175D. I use to use them to lock up my firearms in their pelican cases and my gate doors to my backyard. Please be aware of how thieves can pick these locks.



Take a look at the youtube video below. It is easy and fast to pick this lock.



There is another lock I have yet to see if there is a way to pick this one…the Shrouded Padlock No. 177D.


Best Used For:

* Residential Gates and Fences
* Sheds, Workshops and Garages
* Storage Lockers
* Tool Chests and Tool Boxes

There will always be people who figure out how to pick/ by pass these locks, but it is good for you to always be on top of the weaknesses of the locks you use…it makes you situational aware and keeps you from falling complacent and not give you a false sense of security.
