And the best features are (proudly) locked behind patents, so if you need a great lock in a form factor they don't make, oh well.


Some of the best locks are very very hard to buy as well and still protected with weird export controls held over from the encryption export days.

I frequently use FF-L-2740 spec locks, which is the spec locks need to hit for use in classified government work, military contractors etc. They are very good locks I can't begin to defeat in any practical amount of time and don't know anyone who can. Particularly since they have timed brute force lockouts.

Problem is not a single vendor is allowed to sell locks of that spec to civilians by contract so you have to jump through lots of hoops to get them.
