At least in France, dimple locks (keys have holes instead of teeth) are more common and feel more secure, even though they can still be lockpicked.

Most of the dimple locks I have seen can be opened with just a rake and 2 seconds time.

Most dimple locks in Europe won't open by raking because they also carry spools.
