Answers: How do you make an unpickable lock for LockPickingLawyer?

• Lock design and engineering
• CNC machining custom locks
• Over-engineering complex mechanisms
• Lock pin and spring mechanics
• Integration challenges in mechanical design

What it concludes

• The second version of the custom lock features more pins, more parts, and increased complexity to make it unpickable.
• Connecting two locks with a gear creates a mechanism where turning the lower lock turns the upper lock, but fails to relock the upper lock when removed.
• Spring-loaded lock pins require ramps to lock the mechanism just before the key loses contact and unlock it when the key is ready to be removed.
• The final machined lock successfully operates with its custom key, resulting in a functioning over-engineered unpickable lock.
