Locksport / Lock Pick Board

I heard that the Abloy Protec2 deadbolt has yet to be picked.  There don't seem to be that many videos of Abloy locks being picked in general.  The videos that do show picking seem to all be older versions of the locks that had some flaws or weaknesses that could be exploited.

Edit: I didn't realize that YouTuber huxleypig69 picked the Abloy Protec2.  I just watched the video last night, but I wasn't paying attention and thought he had picked an older Abloy.  Some people have claimed that the video is fake, but I don't know.  I presume it's real.

I somehow managed to Single Pin Pick the Defiant lock last week.  I had watched a YouTube video on how to pick security pins and I learned that it's just a matter of being patient and persistent and keep pushing on each pin to see if it will keep moving up.  I was so surprised when I heard the "click" and the cylinder turned.  I tried again, but I haven't been able to pick it another time.  The good news is that I've done it once before so it must be possible to do again.

I bought this nifty little Weiser re-keying kit from Amazon for $77 so I could rekey the new deadbolt to replace my mom's.

I wanted to buy a bigger kit that could also work with Schlage locks, but those were $100-200 more, didn't necessarily include all of the tools, and I honestly really have no need for such a big kit.

The top of the keyway was worn out from being used for 25+ years.  I know it's super basic and simple, but I had so much fun decoding the key and then repinning the lock to match her lock.  It was fast too.

I took out the OEM pins and replaced with the matching pins from the re-keying kit.  I later inserted the correct pins to actually match her existing key.

Many (if not most) locks are a joke these days, simply because they can be bumped:
