Mechanical Digital Keypad Lock Insecure

[CountYulith]

Well crap! I was thinking about getting on of these, but this seems totally insecure! I can't believe you can just enter the numbers in any sequence, that's horrible since you can see which buttons have been pressed. Back to the drawing board looking for a secure lock...

@CountYulith yeah but you can enter the numbers in any order in euromillions too

[THERANDOMISER100]

why did i watch this

[s66w66]

You can pick these locks by the feel of the keys, although few people have the talent or inclination to learn it.

I see locks as a puzzle to be beaten. I'm not in the trade nor a thief.

[Lucasworthmaster]

Lets put this into perspective people, how many thieves are going to piss fart around with the code when they can just smash a window to gain entry. I have one of these on my front door and i feel 100% Confident in using it. Sure someone Could mark my buttons with a UV Pen, But with little training on youtube you can pick 99% of all front doors of homes in Australia to gain entry in less than a minute without having to come back later. I have more faith in this than any standard entrance set.

Another great educational video for all of the thieves out there, you people never fail to amaze!

@AccessLocksmithSol

The idea is to educate people as to the flaws in their systems. The "you people" are people that think and try evolve a better lock design. Your "handle" suggests that you might be in the trade; advise your customers as to a better design rather than complain that someone pointed out the flaw in the design.

Security by obscurity isn't really the answer.

cool lock. their should be adds for thes. their safer know one can pick them plus no noe wood get locked out. Digetel locks should be the way for ward.

Hi guys, imho, it isnot about seuence, it is about knowledge set of right numbers

its like binary code You have 13 digit binary code : 0000000000000

and in this code You can have from one to 13 digits used no 1(pressed button)

usually from 4 to 6 , and quest is: where they are in between 13 positions..

whitch and how many buttons must be preset from thees 13.. 1st 3th 9th or other?

that is point of this lock principle

[utubmania2009]

thank for the education. Seems not safe using this sort of key for main entrance.

[925hitman]

90% of the the mechanical digital locks in Europe and Australasia use these because they are so cheap to manufacture and they are not a means on security but an access control. If you know your way around these units there are ways to make these sequentially coded of a sort.

nice !!

[woochizen]

Wow! I did learn something today! Thank you!

verrrry slick

[wrrider128]

that was a nice concept. that is very intresting. good vid. *****'s

[shawnstylie]

Nice video. Nice Sub by the way!

[HAROlover522]

nice video

[joet1110]

well done mate

This isnt true of all locks i've seen; i've used versions which have been picky about order too.

[t3hwoot]

If the lock was picky about the order it only takes a maximum of 24 attempts to get the right code once you have the numbers.

[blakjaknz]

This assumes a 4 digit PIN, I guess. I've also seen variations of this lock with many more numbers in the the combo...

[ClarkMills]

With the lock described here you can change the key count from 4 digits to 5 or 6 digits as you get a couple of spare "red" pins to swap out the blue ones if desired. I'm guessing that 6 digits would be optimal (given 13 keys) but people are used to 4 digit PINs. After that I expect people will start putting in silly codes (123456) or writing them down somewhere handy.

Very nice! :)
