What are the best locks for enclosed trailers? I have been using Master shrouded disk type locks to lock my enclosed trailer.... but, I went to check my trailer at the storage lot, which had my race car and a bunch of tools in it, and found that a homeless person was able to over power the lock and sleep in my trailer. Luckily they didn't take much and didn't damage the race car. What locks are the most secure?

Thanks,

Wait...what??




And how was he/she able to remove the lock forcefully without damaging the the door latch?

Yes, some how they were able to forcefully rotate the lock about 25% open, which was just enough to get it off. I don't know if they preyed it open, jammed something into the key slot and forced it open, or picked it. There is no obvious signs of force, but if they picked it I would think it would have been all of the way open.... when I pit the key in it didn't work at first but then it loosened up. It was very strange.

I'm thinking of trying these Atwood AMP locks.... at least these shouldn't be able to be bumped.

Wow, if those fit, looks like the right call.

Though it seems you are dealing with a metahuman, so who knows what will stop them.

I played with the lock today and I really don't think they used brute force. I think they must have bumped it or possibly picked it.

I use the same locks for all my trailers. They're good stuff!!

Seems these locks are fairly easy to pick unless you spend a lot more.

Great videos!

I agree. That is why I just purchased a set of the Atwood locks (shown above). They use the Abus style lock which is extremely difficult to pick.

I thought Master locks were good quality, but they are really bad. I will never buy another one.
