Maximum resistance to picking.

If "maximum" is about 20 seconds, I'd hate to see their less-secure locks.

@alice The less secure ones have disc locks for minimum jiggling resistance.

@alice Ah, yes. Sorry, I am used to the German names and this one doesn't translate 1:1.

@lexLohr ah, I what's the German name? And is "disc" a reference to the wafers, or something else in that style lock?

@alice The German term is "Scheibenschloss". And yes, it's in reference to the wafers that interlock with the core unless pushed exactly into the middle. The interlocking part is sometimes called "Schwalbenschwanz" because of its profile.
