How to Hack the Simplex Locks
No lock is one hundred percent secure. As any locksmith will tell you, even the best lock can be opened if one wishes to invest the time and resources. However, a good lock should at least be secure enough to prevent the average person from compromising it. Common sense dictates that a lock which can easily be opened by anyone is simply not a safe lock to use.
Although Simplex claims that “thousands of combinations are available,” in truth only 1081 combinations are used. Another 1081 combinations are available in the guise of “high security half-step codes.” These are codes which require the user to push one or more buttons only halfway.
It has been found that nuberous organizations use Simplex locks as a primary lock source. Among the guilty parties in the New York metropolitan area are Federal Express, United Parcel Service (UPS), Citicorp Center, John F. Kennedy International Airport, and the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Others around the nation include General Motors, the State Department, McDonald’s, NSA, and the University of Wisconsin.
