A knowledgeable thief will easily defeat any of them. The only protection locks have are for those "ride-through-thieves that are looking for an easy mark. Your entry door lock can be popped with a screwdriver as well as your bay doors. With that said, in the nine years I have owned a PT-50C I have always locked it to the pedestal with a heavy chain and two padlocks. Now let me say that with the padlocks the heel of a shoe smacked against a 50 cent piece a couple times will open the lock. Well 50 cent pieces are not that widely in circulation but hammers and screwdrivers are. Makes a lot of noise but 30 seconds is all that is needed. Peace of mind is what I look for and securing it in any fashion will satisfy the insurance companies I can open any padlock with two open end wrenches. You never believe how easy it is.

wildebill308 Report post Posted November 5, 2017 Let's face it locks are to keep honest people honest. If you use the bolt cutters I posted about earlier you can have the surge guard and the copper cable. And a lot faster than that guy opening the lock.
