Warded locks are often seen on lockers, access panels, and office furniture. Warded picks are designed to pick both modern and older Warded Locks.A warded lock relies on internal obstructions (“warding”) to block the rotation of the key. These obstructions can come in an almost endless variety of designs, however are not considered secure. To unlock a warded lock, you need a key that matches the exact shape and size of the warding.These types of locks are affected by two core vulnerabilities.Skeleton keys and impressioning. – Anyone who understood these vulnerabilities, bypassing these locks no matter how complex the warding is often trivial.Dishonest or poor designs –  Manufactures could sell locks with intricate-looking keys, which would make the buyer assume the internal warding was just as complex. However, the locks could only have a few true wards inside, providing little security. Unless you opened the lock to check if the warding was actually there, you could be easily deceived.
