I wish there were a way to get a sample of this to the lockpickinglawyer.

I was thinking of the Hydraulic Press Channel...

It's odd that the title says "non-cuttable" and the tests they carried out in the article are all attacking it from one side, when most people will think of something like scissors that exert a high compressive force to shear the material.

To me, this material sounds more like it's highly abrasion-resistant than "non-cuttable".

I'm guessing he'd bust out a blowtorch and make short work of it.
Or just pick the (literal weak link in the chain) cheapo lock attached to it. I'm pretty exhausted from listening to people boast about the amazing lock they put in their door, which has full-length windows on both sides. Or their super sturdy door with a generic kwikset lock. The evergreen penetration testing motto is appropriate here: the goal is simply to get on the other side of the door.
Nah, the hydraulic press will make short work of it, the material holding things together is just aluminium after all.

The ceramic balls though, hoo boy. Here's one with a ceramic bearing ball vs a high speed air ram: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6nvM7pYBGc
