Defeating Works by Design's Unpickable Lock [video]
Fans cheer the ‘unpickable’ lock takedown while the comments demand an even bigger showdown
TLDR: Lock Noob posted a video showing that Works By Design’s “unpickable” lock can, in fact, be beaten. In the comments, viewers praised the clever design but also mocked the claim, with some demanding a faster face-off from an even more famous lock expert.
A video titled “Defeated! Picking Works By Design’s Unpickable Lock” has dropped, and the real action isn’t just in the lock being beaten — it’s in the comment-section peanut gallery turning the whole thing into a mini sporting event. Creator Lock Noob takes on a supposedly super-tough custom lock made by Works By Design, and viewers immediately split into two camps: “wow, what a brilliant build” and “okay, but bring in the final boss already.”
The loudest hot take came from people basically summoning the internet’s most famous lock-opener for a celebrity cage match. One commenter sniped that this took “40 minutes of video” and said a certain rival would finish the job in “two minutes,” which is exactly the kind of comment designed to start a nerdy civil war. Others went more detective mode, arguing the lock may have a weakness because the key parts still touch the inside pins, meaning clues could be left behind for someone patient enough to study them. In plain English: the crowd is saying “cool idea, but maybe not magic.”
Meanwhile, some commenters played sequel dealer, dropping follow-up links and the original design video, turning the thread into a binge-watch starter pack. And then, in perfect internet fashion, one person simply wrote “Good.” Honestly? A minimalist review icon.
