Genii: Easy to Open[edit]

I'm not sure how to word this, but I have from experience opened locks that were magnetically oriented.

Padlocks generally, that had somehow turned up in places discarded ( I assume the owners either became frustrated with the design or lost the key ).

The application of a large, fist-sized speaker magnet to appropriate parts of the lock and then applying the right amount of torque on the locking arm can cause it to disengage.

I would produce a video demonstrating how, but I no longer have the magnets, or the locks.

The model I however discovered how to open was this: http://www.fast-locksmith.net/Blog/pros-and-cons-of-magnetic-keyed-locks.php#magnetic-keyed-padlock-product

Touting being unthwart-able, which is really untrue, just the technology required to open it is *really* inconvenient to have around, but once you have it, the lock can be opened in seconds.

Genii: Stale Links[edit]

There is a freebase entry on the Genii lock this referring to a now deleted entry on Wikipedia on this lock. http://www.freebase.com/view/en/genii_magnetic_lock

So that link should burn or be reconstructed if there is good reason.

Decent takeapart of magnetic lock[edit]

While stumbling about and killing time reading about locks here and there, I found a rather nice thread in which someone takes apart a magnetic lock at http://www.lockpicking101.com/viewtopic.php?t=11912 If anyone with better editing skills and the inclination to do so wishes to assimilate some of the info from there into this article...

Merge proposal[edit]

I have suggested that Magnetic-coded lock be merged into this article because it is short, and needs a lot of improvement. Both these pages are describing the same thing, which is, a lock operated by a magnetic key. Willh26 (talk) 21:19, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed and
