Which of the following locks generally has the greatest delay factor?

Lever locks generally provide the greatest delay factor due to their complex internal mechanisms. These locks are more resistant to picking and manipulation than simpler designs.

Multiple Levers:

The more levers in the lock, the harder it is to manipulate.

Higher Security:

Often used in safes and secure environments due to their robust design.

Enhanced Resistance:

Provides better resistance against brute force and lock-picking attempts.

A: Pin tumbler locks are more common but easier to pick compared to lever locks.

B: Warded locks are simpler and provide lower security.

D: Disc tumbler locks offer moderate resistance but are not as secure as lever locks.
