Defiant insurance padlock.

This is a beefy £1.7 padlock with a lever mechanism and a reputation for being very robust.

Now, depending on how you count, this is either a five or six lever lock.

I consider it to be five levers, since one of them appears to do nothing but provide a little bit of spring bias to the shackle.

If we open this up with the key, we can see the shackle pop up just a little bit.

That's all one of the levers appears to D'oh!

I'm not sure why they would have done that.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I would rather have an additional operating lever for increased resistance to picking.

Speaking of which, let's see what it takes to get this open.

I'm using this mad Bob's tensioning tool and this UK lock pickers wire.

Okay, putting some pretty stop tension on this.

Here we go.

Click out of one nothing on two.

Click out of three, skipping under the dud lever that tensions the shackle hit number five and we opened it up.

Let's get these tools out of here that might prove to be the hardest part of this manipulation.

There we go.

So, as you saw, we opened this up pretty quickly and I did not run into any anti pick features like false gates.

So what, we do have a pretty robust shell here.

I'm not as impressed as I thought I'd be with the pick resistance.

In any case, that's all I have for you today.
