Security expert Marc Weber Tobias and his team prove that what is marketed as on of the top locks on the market can easily be broken in under a few minutes with a blank key and a screwdriver. All a thief has to do to get past this lock is cut off the head of the blank key and insert the other half into the keyhole. He then uses the screwdriver to push the blank deeper into the lock and hammer it in so that it breaks the lock. From this point the thief can use the screwdriver as a key and can even lock the door after he is done robbing your home or businesses.

  • 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

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

  • 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-

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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