i still even trust cylindrical locks (old kryptos) if you dump enough oil/grease in them to keep a bic from sticking... if these are actually picked, you need to pick it seven times to actually get it all the way open...

i figure intimidation factor (of the lock) and tricks like grease in the mechanism work way better than the actual locking mechanism...
...not to mention several different locks combined--redundancy. Gally, does this grease thing work with the warded locks? Can it gunk up the lock to the point of rendering your key useless? What kind of grease do you use?
