From what I have read on the website, only law enforcement people have tried to pick the locks. They haven't let the more clever people try and this is there mistake if they want to prove just how good they are. My personal opinion is they have there heads in the clouds and that is being polite.

I have not been able to pick it open, but I found an easy way to make a key.

David "The Stuntman" Blaine could do it.

From what I have seen of the lockworks via internal diagrams, I have no doubt at all it can be picked by as simple an object as a good stiff section of piano wire bent into a right angle.

Worked properly around the keypost (and using the key post for leverage when rotating) I can see that such a device could rotate the disc cam and open the cuff.

Of course, size and strength of this wire is key.

The pick would have the wedge itself perfectly from one side to the other side in the centre hole of the disc cam to be able to spin it without slipping off a good grip.

I think the makers are most thinking of shimming when they say it is "jimmy proof".

Of course any wheel mech cuff is shim proof but I have yet to see why this cuff can not be picked via the keyhole and without too much difficulty at all.

I have personally seen the double-lock RAPPED open on their original stainless-steel model. That's a fact.

I'd still like to get a pair of these cuffs to play with... I suppose hell will freeze over first. (That's ok, I hate hot places anyway)
