Can the lock be picked by a Savvy Teen?

The lock seems good & not cheap. Watch your bills, if they spike something is going on. Also...maybe try a camera to watch if their is anything going on.

The lock is difficult to open when using the key. If a savvy teen has lots of time to tamper with the lock, maybe so.

Anyone with youtube and time on their hands, I'm sure could pick any lock. This works great so far for me. I have an office building and tenants are constantly lowering the temp and disrupting the schedule. This works great for me as a deterrent and have yet to have any problems.

Yes. However, the lock is tiny and difficult for my 7yo to do by herself...sometimes even difficult for me!

you can attach a padlock, wont make any difference as if someone wants it they will just walk off with it and break in to it at their leisure

It doesn't come with a lock of any kind, but there are spots for padlocks on the latches. If you provide your own locks, it would be very secure. Also, the latches are pretty "child safe" alone, because they're fairly tough to open, for a child.

The unit locks and you have to be able to unlock it to change the time or date; that said, if the person is unsupervised and is untrustworthy enough that you have to ask, it probably wouldn't be particularly hard to acquire or make a key.

I just read your text, Larry. I don't know if they would pick locks, but they are small enough to get in a keyhole. I had it in my mind that you were going to use it for automotive stuff don't know why. Sorry

No it would not work for this purpose, the "lock" releases when a strong magnet placed against the specific area of the cabinet door, which a teenage would probably figure out after seeing you open the door. National Cabinet Lock C8060-14A-KA Cam Lock, would be a better solution.

Yes. For as heavy duty as it is, you can easily turn the key to raise it up , close the base up and insert pin to lock it in place.I am 72 and it cetainly has made getting around a possibility.

Programmin was not easy. But you can use the five buttons on the right side to enter your pin. The front of the handlel has a plug that pops out to reveal a keyway. The lock is not "high security" but conveneint for a door that requires more than a passage set.

I guess it depends on the size of the latch your son's locker has. I use mine for my locker at my gym. It's a pretty hefty lock -- really solid. If I threw it at you, it would really hurt.

Yes, kind of, but the spring in the lock needs some strength to pull, which a toddler cannot. I have a toddler and its working perfectly.

I don't think so but I am not an accomplished lock picker. You need to insert the key completely to open the box.

This is better designed to keep people OUT rather than IN, but a toddler would have some trouble manipulating the lock. I'd say it would be about as effective as a child-proof cap on medicine. It'll keep them out until they figure it out. Try a cheap slide bolt at the top of the door.

To "unlock" the lock, it requires the user to push the mechanism in while sliding it to the other side. I think, with a little practice, your 4 year old could do it.

Yes anyone can open it you need to buy a small lock it has holes for it but the holes are smaller than a standard lock

I have to agree with beholder242. The lock is as robust as it can be considering the application. I don't believe that the average person could defeat it simply by trying to pick it.

Yes, a lock but not really heavy duty. Not too hard for a determined person to get into.
