Who cares if it's hard to pick? Just pound in a flat head screwdriver that had flat sides on the handle. Then use a wrench to grip the handle and twist to rip the pins through the PLASTIC cylinder to open the lock.

The "Emperor has No Clothes" this is not a "professional lock-picking competition." I can teach a Monkey to open the Weiser Smartkey deadbolts and locks as quick as you can insert your key. Summer of 2010 I was invited to pick the locks but they refused me and my locksmith students to attempt opening the locks with our picks. Anybody know where I can get a monkey?

I definitely smell bullshit. I cringe when I see a Schlage lock that a customer wants me to pick. A few days ago I picked four Kwikset locks in under 15 seconds each. These were not Smartkeys but every locksmith knows for cheaper locks, Kwikset doesn't hold a candle to Schlage.

You can tell this competition is rigged. There is no way possible the secure key technology is that easy to get into. Kwickset is crap and always will be crap. Just more false propoganda from Kwickset
