I don't know about locks in your country but german locks are a little bit more sturdy than that.

Yes, it is faked. You can see the video jump right before he hits the lock, indicating that something was edited out.

this is stupid. a hammer alone works perfect no need to freeze the lock. also after he hit the lock and it opend it was still ok. then the next screen shows a lock broken into two pieces, so this guy clearly broke the lock AFTER he opened it!

yes this is fake,Dust-Off (and other similar compounds) are either compressed gas or a low-boiling alcohol. When this material expands in volume, it has less heat than its surroundings. This is why it is cold.

If you take a cubic foot of air at room temperature and expand it to twice its volume, it will have only half as much heat per unit volume as its surroundings. By the same token, if you have compressed gas at room temperature and it then expands, it will have less heat energy than its surroundings.

For a liquid that boils away, this works even more effectively. That is the basis of evaporative cooling. When you step out of a hot shower and get cold right away, it is because the hottest water evaporated away first, leaving the coldest water behind.

It's amazing how much debate can come from such a stupid topic. lol. BTW, to put everyone in the right; It does work, but not on all locks. The lock must be made from a metal that is more susceptible to freezing. A master lock would have had to be much colder than -64°C. So, all of you are right but a few are still wrong.
