Pin and Tumbler Lock – How to Compare with a Yale Lock

lock

I am changing the locks at my house and considering this one, whose craters seem more difficult to pick than a standard yale lock.

Pin and tumbler key

I include only half the key on purpose.

What is the name of the type of key, and is it more difficult to pick?

Best Answer

I believe this is called a dimple lock, and while no professional this lock wiki says

A dimple lock is not more secure when compared to traditional pin tumbler locks, but the untraditional nature of the key makes many dimple locks appear sophisticated.
