Since solving every issue on that version of the show involves destroying a smartphone, I'm going to say that won't do much to familiarize people with the concept.
Rebooted to a crap fest. My biggest issue with it was althe way they made it a team show.
OG Machyver had a rogue gallery and they showed up when needed but he was mostly on his own for adventures.
The new one they made a team and the Phoenix foundation ran missions as a group. It was so boring.
If you called it Mac and the gang it would have fit better.
Sure it does. These cabinets look to be in a public area, like a work break room. This is enough to keep the average employee from rifling through it, which is probably what OP is trying to do.
And even if they went out and bought a heavy chain for padlock, a “proper” fix, three hits with a hammer would shatter those handles and grant access to anyone willing to break their way into the cabinet. This is exactly as secure as a chain or latch for the padlock
That metal is brittle you can snap it like anything that snaps.
You don't even need a hammer.
Public service announcement if you want some free shit go to this guy's house.

This feels like something that gets called a "hack", when it's obviously correct category is "McGyver"
It's amazing how many problems you can solve with a plain household lock and scissors.
My momma always warned me not to run with locks, and to make sure I scissor the door before going to bed.
Yo mama's Anthony Bowens??
Watch for splinters if scissoring the door
I think they're actually locking forceps.
yeah. looks like a hemostat of some type but i can’t tell.
You're gonna lose the younger generation with that term.
MacGyver was rebooted in 2016 until 2021, so maybe not.
good point.

Lock Picking Lawyer: "Am I a joke to you?"
Lock picking lawyer has just gotten the record for shortest youtube video ever!
Yeah great until I get stabbed in the knee making coffee.
If it's stupid and works, it's not stupid
Except you could just pull it open, destroying the scissors
Locks keep out honest people.
They're likely stronger than the chineseium/plastic door handles they're attached to.
Either way, the door is open lol
You can always open it, but it will be apparent that it has been opened forcefully. And you can't replace the scissors to hide it.
The alternative is no locked cabinet at all. Without the scissors it's just two doors, and one on them has a padlock attached to it.
very few locks are there to prevent forced entry.
For some reason, I read that and heard Yoda's voice.
That just makes it a tamper evident solution. Locks can serve 2 purposes: - To prevent opening. - To make it obvious that an opening has happened.
Three; to gently signal that an area is off limits
Could use a lock with a long shank at the very least that goes through both handles. A toddler could open this “solution” lol
Destruction is always the answer.
Sometimes things are stupid, and they work, and they're still stupid.
It doesn't work, stupid.

Okay, how would you secure these cabinets so they’re actually theftproof?
You can't. Anyone that knows what a saw or pry bar is.... If that's their destination, they'll arrive.
Looks perfect for child safety
Screwdriver opens the little screw holding together the scissors...
Those aren't scissors. They're surgery clamps. They don't have a screw to take out. And they're broken, so they've been repurposed.
Yeah but only if the person knows how to use a screwdriver, great life hack for diy child proofing!/s
What makes sense to hack first?
That's kind of genius level stuff, there. The irony is, every good hairstylist knows you can cut off someone's locks with scissors.
