Wow that's impressive speed, shows that "secure" locks are no match for the professional!
l've been using a solid looking motorcycle lock to secure my ebike and l bet it's no better than that one.
ls that tool you are using readily available and does it take special training to use it? A bit like the car tracking device jammers, spend hundreds on a tracker and the thieves jam it with a £50 box you can readily buy online....
It's horrifying how almost anyone, with tzhe right tools, can open most locks, especially cylinder types, after an hour or so's practise and watching a few YouTube videos.....
Thats all the training you need.....
I was only in a locksmiths job for 7 months, after I retired from my previous employment of 38 years as a computer specialist, and I can still open people's front doors today (only for friends and neighbours now) with alarming speed, it is SO simple. Most are shocked rigid!
This is the reason that I always recommend 2 good locks and an alarm on all bikes as well, even if it only serves to give the thief a touch of the "runs!"
Nowadays the tools are easily aquired on ebay as well......
If you have any other questions, I will do my best for you (any anyone else!)
The tools for completely removing a cylinder properly, without damaging the lock, although simple to use, are due to the need for very high quality, are usually not available on ebay, even though they may look the same.
The ones I bought in 2007, have been used many times, only on cylinders with special anti drilling pins, but still look like new, but cost around 45 UK Pounds each!
On cheap cylinders, they are easily cut out or opened using a normal hardened steel drill (3.2mm), provided you know exactly where to drill.
