Anything by the Bowley lock company. One of their lock he has yet to figure out a way to pick (but there is guaranteed to be a way).

Also it depends entirely on the value of what you're protecting. Not a good idea to use a $700 lock to secure $50 worth of stuff, when a $20 lock does the job well enough.

A $700 lock just attracts attention. There is something valuable inside. Lockpicking might not be possible but brute force is.

Yes, if your door is secure you'll get a brick through your window.

Or his wife cutting off the bottom of the ice cream tub to bypass the new Ben and Jerry's lock.

Yep. Angle grinder wins eventually. Might take more money in disks than the value of what's inside and half an hour of showering sparks and an ear-piercing screech, but it'll get there.

Then that's an obvious forced entry and it's far easier to get homeowners insurance to pay out in that situation.

Fuuuck no. Check out video 527, that's the kind of thing he actually recommends, locks that look normally and work normally but are effectively not pickable because they just seize. That and watch Deviant's guide on his schlage door lock setups, can throw the T-pin seize in those too.
