KWIKSET SMARTKEY Lock Gets Picked with a Screwdriver and a Blank Key

[HalfricanParadise]

your stupid. you didnt necessarily "pick" the lock, you broke it. You left the false key in there. you think you picked it because you used to torque to push up the pin. someone is gonna notice when someone tries to put there key in and notice 1) someone put a false key in there and 2) they re-programmed the dead bolt pins. so -1 points for you. that tactic is good for if you are in an abandoned place or the house is not vacant. A for effort

[RayAir1]

So all you did is drive the pins through the cylinder through torque. You can do this with shitty Guard Security padlocks too. The part of the lock that holds the pins in them is plastic. In this Kwikset it is probably a weak metal.

There is evidence of entry, the partial key that was left in the lock.

Lokpikr the smart lock by Kwikset is just a fused cylinder so this video is very correct all he is doing torqing the cylinder over they have a took for it too most of the time the user key will still work but I had to replace a few after doing this method the new design won't allow u to use this method hope this helps

[Norticpunk]

Nice technique wen u don't have a by-pass force tool my only concern is damage to the key way and having to sell the custormer a new lock from a thieves point I think the chance is less then slight that they would recognize a smart lock and know what to do-

[lokpikr999]

@Norticpunk How does this procedure actually work?What is the principle behind it

[lockguy34]

i keep a sc1 on my key ring cut to max depths and use that as a pick like a general key works like a charm for schlage locks

[portlandog]

I've taken apart the Schlage version as well but haven't tried to force one open yet. But i'll say after taking it apart they're very comparable to the Kwikset version. I would imagine if you cut a SC1 blank to 44444 and put vise grips on it you could force it open too.

Marc, thank you so much for this demonstration. I bought a Kwikset electronic deadbolt for the autolock feature.

It also has SmartKey which makes it useless against a screwdriver.

I think I've found a way to secure the lock. I took apart the cylinder and removed the springs. I replaced one pin with a long steel pin. I took a blank key and cut a notch in the front side and removed the bow with a dremel. The steel pin secures the blank. The blank prevents anyone from inserting a screwdriver.

whats with the key blank. why won't the screw driver alone work?

[tenfingers1]

@rwdemamiel The 33333 cut key blank raises the sliders to such a height that they do not protrude down into the bolt body, but not to high that they will protrude up. if you are having a hard time visualizing it go buy the lock and take it apart, that's what I did.

[Eyes5150]

I love the last statement he made at the end. "All you need is a screwdriver".

[portlandog]

if you use a kwikset key cut to 33333 use can also get into these with no problems at all. They're crap!

[cryptsub]

@portlandog do you mean cutting an SC1 to kwikset depth 33333, or what?

[cryptsub]

@portlandog nevermind, somehow this video came up when I was searching for info on Schlage SecureKey!

[joshdanielsjr]

LMAO! this is funny as hell! They fix one problem and that is bumping the thing only to make it even easier to break in with a screw driver. FAIL on Kwicksets part

[6589justin]

It looked like there was some visual evidence that u used something to shove into the key cylinder because you banged a screw driver into the front of the key cylinder!
