Designing a mechanism to stop lock pickers in their tracks. Engineering this unpickable lock was a grueling process that tested my patience and had me questioning if it could really be done. Over two months of drawing, CADing, laser cutting, machining, assembly, and testing.

Special thanks to Kendric the Locksmith and & Emerald Locksmith in helping with user testing and pickability. Also thanks to Omar for helping with the machined parts of the build.
