Locks keep honest people honest and that's about it

"Hello, I'm the lock picking lawyer, and today we're looking at a lock for a file cabinet"
Same goes for anything "locked" with a zipper that still moves. One can open the zipper with a pen, go through your belongings without you knowing, then close it back up with the zipper. Atleast buy a case with zippers that lock into place.
Yesterday I had to open a couple of cabinets at work after the keys went missing. I only watched a few YouTube videos and I figured how to open them with my Swiss army knife.
The first one took over an hour. The rest of them took a few seconds. I was amazed how easy it was.

Yes illusion, not tricks like what whore does for money.
Yeah, like the guy with a $3,000 suit is gonna open a drawer
Not quite an illusion, but they're more of an inconvenience than a true barrier.
They often reuse the same keys a LOT.
Some of the most common ones that fit a bunch of stuff are: Ch751, C415A.
You could also just buy a bunch on eBay, Amazon or whatever.
Locks are to keep your friends out. If you don't trust the shittiest dude in your building, don't leave your stuff in your office.
I figured out one of those locks when I was eight. Used to unlock the freezer with a paperclip
The freezer had a lock?

Disconcertingly close to the truth tbh.
Yes, it was a chest freezer with one of those little filing cabinet locks. It genuinely never occurred to mum that her eight year old could pick it with her hairpin.
I've never seen a freezer with a lock. Seems strange.
Yep. Most mass produced office desk have the most bullshit wafer locks.
That's why I only leave company property in my desk drawers overnight.
