Right tools and skills, which is an important part. Just buying the appropriate pick won't magically make you able to open a disc detainer lock, but sure, wafer pins locks can literally be opened by randomly sticking a paperclip in it and using a tensioner.

    Yeah but the problem is a LOT of common domestic door locks and padlocks are vulnerable to low skill attacks like raking or other simple bypasses that you can learn in a couple hours. The number of lock makers that cheap out and neglect even basic higher security features is shocking. Unless you really go out of your way and specifically go looking for a quality lock are you unlikely to find one with something like security pins and higher tolerances that resist picking.
