That was probably a bit misleading on my part. Lock picking is not an emergency key for me. Only of the methods that have been discussed, it is the one that is the least dangerous for the wearer.

i think so too, i think it is possible to break the belt as well, but the easiest way is certainly to destroy the lock. besides, a padlock is not as valuable (financially speaking) as the entire belt 🙂

    I agree with you as far as that goes, but Neosteel and Mysteel have an ironing protection, or am I mistaken? How will you then destroy the lock?

      Mr-TM i think you mean shackle guard. Looks like a machine translation artifact.

      Anyway, a shackle guard makes it harder to insert shims, bolt cutters or wrenches to bust the lock, but that just means it takes more time to remove it because you need to gradually cut it off with a grinding disc or a drill bit or something along those lines, instead of just ripping it off the belt in a single motion that takes half a minute once you have the tools.

          Tabletop We use a similar single use wire seal. There is not lock as such, just a pair of bolts with an uncommon head that have the seal wire threaded through them to prevent removal with out breaking the wire.

            the question is whether you could remove the locks without your parents noticing if you did not have the seal?

              Tabletop or finding the keys somewhere in their bedroom where i know they hide stuff

              But that would be a very irresponsible handling of the keys (in my opinion).
