Wow I never thought of combination locks being more secure than key locks, but you're right about time & space! I guess I've only ever come across combination padlocks, but these safes are on a different level. Interesting stuff!
Yeah, it's interesting. Cheap consumer grade combo locks are definitely nowhere near as good as an equivalent priced keyed lock. But once you start talking about very high security, combination locks are in a class of their own.
@@MichaelMaynard The "Polish combination lock" is aiming to be the most secure lock in the world. Imagine 10 wheels with 20 mumbers on each, and no feedback to decode it (when it's finished) - that would be a nice safe lock.
Yeah, Priyer and I have had a good talk about that lock. It might possibly be good one day but the current design has quite a few problems. This is what happens when non lock guys design locks. I'd be really interested to see what you think of it.
@@MichaelMaynard Interesting - thanks! I'll have the Polish combo lock in maybe 1 day or 2 (or so). I have a few ideas for attack vectors. The good thing is that the designer seems open to listen to the locksport community, so he might change the lock to no longer have those problems - for example for the next version of the design he wants to change the depth of the false gates to random depths (within limits) so that the actuator lever would not rest only on one wheel as a wheel turns. So it could be really good where the advice of the locksport community is listened to and something really *really* secure is produced ... but the proof is in the pudding ... we'll see. Maybe I can talk to you further about any design vulnerabilities ... maybe after I have a go at it myself?
tHANKS FOR SHARING spot on , you talk about lucky i went to job a few weeks ago he had a joli combination safe he was locked out of it he went to make me a cuppa i tried the first numbers and bang open lol nothing but luck he thought whitch craft ,
I'm addicted to this series on group2 safe locks already! Can't wait for the next ones! Thanks for all the info Michael
Good to know what is what and your in depth approach is just great.
Thanks 😘😘👍👍

Nice in depth analysis, so many details! I want more of this, awesome!
Great vid with loads of detailed information :-) I found the bit about the key purpose really interesting, thanks :-)
More really interesting stuff. Very enjoyable
Love the reference to TARDIS! ;)
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome mate, thank you very much for showing it to us ;o))
We want more ;o))
