Without a doubt. He’s the lockpicking lawyer, after all.
But a lot of smart locks are basically locks that have all the attack vectors of normal locks, plus a bunch of extra attack vectors due to being ‘smart’.
McNally is the axe/knife guy. I can’t speak to their reputation in the broader hobby, but these guys are VERY experienced. To me, it seems like a magic trick to open locks in 30 seconds when it might take me 1 minute to 1 hour. Except master lock. It really is that easy.
Yeah, it’s hard to judge how much the gap between beginner and them. I remember there’s one where LPL doing some seminar, I was like “He’s an actual lawyer???” like I can’t believe the locksmithing part is just his hobby or something.
Except master lock

I mean, most locks are only there to raise the barrier of entry beyond that casual opportunist, and won’t stop anyone with more than a passing interest.
Someone looking to break into a house can park their car at the end of a street, wait for someone to leave for work in the morning, and then walk up an try the front door while holding a clipboard.
If they want into your house they’re probably going to look a few times and then go in through the back patio sliding door.
I guess the lock picking lawyer has something to say about those mechanical locks.
Yeah, he’d probably say “at least they aren’t smart locks”
And still pick them in 10 seconds.

To be fair, that dude makes it look easy. Picking a quality lock you aren’t familiar with is pretty tough.
Oh, so are they (IDK the name but dude is locksmith but also throwing knives) pretty elite skill wise in locksmithing space?
I have no point of reference for that but in rock guitar term are they like Stevie Vai, Guthrie Govan level ?
