The Medeco Biaxial, an incredibly sophisticated pin cylinder lock. Through research, intelligence, cunning, and know-how they found a variety of ways to open the Medico Biaxial without the keys. When I read Marc Tobias' book 'Open in 30 Seconds' where he and a friend took the Medeco Biaxial lock, a lock considered one of the most secure locks in the USA today, and absolutely smashed it. And while the short answer is 'No', I do believe, given the right information, time to prepare, research etc, it is possible to pick every lock. And yet with lock picking I have been asked this many, many times. I'm not sure if you said you were a race car driver people would ask 'Can you beat every car?' or if you said you were a mountain climber would anyone ask 'Can you climb every mountain?'.

But let's just consider it for a moment, 'Can you pick EVERY lock?'. I'm sure some of you will have been asked a similar question, it's quite a common response. But 'Century' not 'Sentry', a difference that would appear to have caught me out. The subject of lock picking came up and I was asked, like I often am in such situations 'So what, can you pick every lock?'. The Sentry safes I have seen 'cracked' many times online. A Century safe from Korea which looks much like the 'Sentry' safes I have seen all over the place.

A 'sportsman's bet' as it is often known, where there's no money at stake, but something far more valuable - my integrity.
