Sessions
This will be a discussion of lock design and what design engineers, covert entry teams, locksmiths, law enforcement agencies, and lock sports enthusiasts must know to assess a lock's security properly - and to compromise it. Several examples will be shown during the presentation. Marc is a renowned author of multiple books on locks, keys, and safes. Expect to learn about the complexity of locks and why they can often be defeated, regardless of their security rating.
