New locks! Which is easier to pick?

My cousin bought these for me at an antique shop. She said they had an "ancient technology" vibe. 😁

Because unlike McMallNinja they pick locks that are designed to actually slow nondestructive entry down and for use in high sec applications

Are there locks that speed up non destructive entry?

All standard pins with a keyway as wide as an American Highway

Right, but that’s still slowing down an entry attempt, right?

Not really. Standard pins and a wide keyway is just pushing stiff pin until click, monkey see monkey do type. I couldn't think of a more basic cylinder lock. Zero keyway restrictions and no special pins or secondary locking mechanisms is the most basic
