I bet most locksmiths are the drill and replace type and could not pick a lock reliably anyway. Locksmiths are taught how to dismantle and remove a lock these days rather than how a lock works and therefore how to beat it.

After thinking about this, I realized it makes a lot of sense given what LPL is saying.
After all, if you spent a fortune in some lock and the locksmith can open it in 5 seconds flat, you’ll feel ripped off. It’s possible that a lot locksmiths believe the locks to be safe, and they think they’re saving time by going the drill route.
Not to mention that if the locksmith is selling you the lock, he will want to avoid damaging their reputation.
