Vulnerabilities

Galaxy has been tested thoroughly and has not been picked successfully. Its hardened steel cap on the front of each cylinder type, makes drilling extremely difficult. Only through drilling can the lock be bypassed.

Impressioning would be extremely difficult as the codebars have indentations. The key moves the sidebars forward on the codebar to align the sidebar's positive surface with the negative surface (indentations) of the codebar.
