I don't think so actually. Even cheap padlocks have security pins nowadays.

Someone doesn’t watch the Lock Picking Lawyer.

A surprising number of padlocks have no security pins whatsoever, including most Master Locks.

I do watch Lock Picking Lawyer (great channel btw) and I've dabbled with lockpicking myself.

But maybe locks are generally worse in the US than they are here in Sweden. Masterlocks are infamously bad.

They don't seem relevant to this technique, which involves recording audio from a correct key.

Doubtful most cheap padlocks can be opened with a shim made of a soda can.
