This High Security Lock Is Almost Impossible to Pick

 

Today, discussions about home security focus on surveillance technology and ways to stay connected to your property—but what about the actual hardware? Brothers Ryan and Tyler Bowley of the Bowley Lock Company launched a Kickstarter project to fund the production of a new door lock that will thwart all robbers with conventional lock picks, no matter how skilled they are.

Unfortunately, that means that burglars can use lock picks to mimic the grooves of a key and turn the pin tumbler.
