I know I'm a little late to the party here but the lock is pretty darned easy to pick. I purchased a front bag at the REI garage sale that was locked and didn't have a key, I bent a short 90deg bend on a paperclip, 1.5-2mm long and fiddled with trying to pick the lock while watching tv. I think it may have taken me 20 minutes to pick it. I then tried to disassemble to remove the tumbler all together but it can't be done. My front mount is now in the permanently unlocked mode, like others I feel the lock is pretty pointless as a knife will give access to the contents of the bag right quick.
