There is a lot of hype by lock manufacturers, especially those that sell "High Security" cylinders. Terms like "pick proof" and "bump proof" often accompany UL and ANSI rated locks and cylinders. If your intent is to protect your home then you can be assured that a lock carrying a UL 437 or ANSI rating is quite sufficient. The rules drastically change however if you are going to rely upon locks to protect high value targets such as cash, sensitive information, munitions, or critical infrastructure components. It is then that you might want to do a bit more research into what really constitutes a high security lock and how they can be compromised in the real world. In this presentation we will dissect and analyze these high security standards. Covert methods of picking, bumping, and certain other bypass techniques will also be presented and demonstrated allowing even the highest rated cylinders to be compromised in well under ten minutes.
