5 Year Update: TriMax Round Body Padlock

In this video, the presenter provides a 5-year update on the TriMax model tpl1251s round body padlock. Sent by Evan from Prescott, Arizona, the presenter checks if TriMax has redesigned the lock and fixed the problems previously identified. After picking the lock open with standard pins, the presenter demonstrates that the lock still has an unshielded keyway, allowing it to be easily bypassed.

Despite the well-known flaw, TriMax has not added any shielding to the keyway. The presenter explains that the vulnerability can be fixed by re-clocking the wedge and tailpiece or by adding an anti-bypass shield to the back of the core. However, the presenter expresses disappointment in lock companies that continue to make the same mistakes, even when the solutions are widely known and relatively simple to implement.

In conclusion, the video serves as a reminder of the importance of thorough security checks and updates in lock design. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below, and don’t forget to subscribe for more content.
