I was wondering how the re-key worked for these locks. Very clever.

Truly an amazing demonstration of this lock. I like that you don’t just pick the lock but you really show us the inner workings. I don’t know how safe this kind of locks are, but you can’t help admiring the ingenuity of their mechanism.

It really doesn’t matter how good a lock is if your putting it on a regular house door. No criminal is going to mess with a lock let alone pick it if the door can simply be kicked in with ease in a fraction of a second. Put an armored door on the house and they will simply break a window. Unless you are willing to live in an armored bunker locks are almost useless. I’ve seen doors kicked in that weren’t even locked!

I realize this is a four year old video, but I wanted to thank you. I got one of these given to me this last Christmas. Just something handed to me, because it didn’t have a key. Because of this video, I learned about the side bar, which is why I couldn’t get any feedback from trying to pick, and it also gave me the confidence to gut the lock, set it for a new key, and get it back together. So again, thank you for this video. You turned something to mess around with, to something I can use.

I found one of these by the side of the road. I know locks can be anywhere from $20-$60. So, I thought I could try messing with it to see if I could re-key it. I couldn't immediately find a piece of metal small enough to fit in the re-key hole. So, I just took it apart to see if I could re-key it with a spare key we had. It wasn't until I found this video of how the re-keying slider works that I was able to put it back together and make it work with a key I already had.

Lock Picking Lawyer. This is a bit dated, and I would love to see you breakdown the latest generation of this lock. The Kwikset Gen3 of this lock CANNOT be single pin picked in the way you're doing here. Their system has been vastly improved with a sidebar that keeps wafers from binding individually in SPP picking. Only after all the wafers are to shear does the sidebar fall into place allowing the plug to turn. That said, others have been able to pick this lock by tensioning the sidebar with a shim. I have tries this technique, and on the latest models I can get some wafers to bind, but I still can't pick it. There is also a decoding tool for this, and you can cut a key by finding the kwikset depth codes which a special magnifier decoding tool will allow you to do with practice. This tool costs 300.00 dollars though! I'd love to get your professional feedback on the latest version of Kwikset's cylinder in the smartkey version. I want to see if you can pick it, or provide additional tips and feedback to us fellow follow lock nerds!

Would be quite easy to prevent, or at least make much harder, by making it so the cassette can only move whilst the lock is in the locked position (just have a notch in the barrel that blocks the gap as it's turned) as the act of tensioning the sidebar to set the sliders will rotate it to unlocked when they're in the correct positions, that way you'd pretty much have to have the real key (although due to the fixed positions of the keypins when set you could decode the lock once it was unlocked and cut a copy of the key, but at least that's difficult to do)

Pushing the mounting screws out with a 1/8" drill through the face is SOP with all the apartment maintenance guys I know. Good cylinders will have a hardened plate in the face to prevent this attack as well as preventing the core from being pulled, and those usually come with hardened screws and a thick mounting plate too. I've seen some pissed-off ex-tenants install one of those as a 'going-away' present to get even with leasing agents who wouldn't refund their deposits. Maintenance always destroys the door trying to open it...

+Jake Neumann Thanks. Tension depends on the lock. I have three, and they all like different amounts of tension. Just give it enough to bind the sliders, but no more. Release a little tension to move the sliders. Good luck.

this version has been upgraded, and is unpickable due to the fact that no tension on the lock gets transfered to the sliders or the pins, " no feed back", and any tension just binds the sidebar from being depressed due to it being square on top and not angled, and that the only thing that can depress the side bar are its tiny springs, way weaker than the pin springs. I have both versions.

I wouldn't say it's unpickable. I can apply tension as if trying to lock it, insert the key, and it turns. I can't do that when I apply tension the other way. The key will not turn until I let up the tension. Point is, it could be picked to the locking side and the a spinner could be used to get it to the unlocked position, I believe.

And it would be very difficult to drill the sidebar without going through the bearing. Of course, there are ways around. If I was drilling this lock, I would probably start with a 1/4" end mill and drill until I hit the bearing... then remove it with a magnet and keep drilling.

Hey LPL I just recently picked the new improvements kwikset the uptown in my video number 68 if you are interested in seeing it

I'm not clear if this was previously asked, but does this lock prevent bumping? Context - looking at a lot of LPL videos, all locks are pickable. Bumping is a ridiculously easy way to get into a house (i.e. small barrier for someone who wants to do this). There are likely less people who can pick a lock, so if it can stop bumping, the lock is a step up from all the other locks. Thoughts?

Where did you get that clip removal tool is you don't mind me asking????

Have you ever been able to rake a smart key deadbolt?

Im not sure what I am doing wrong but I cant even get the pins to lift without being very rough. They seem to get stuck on the false gates or something. Its driving me nuts!!!

Is there a top of key way or bottom of key way difference for tension? Or is that just a preference?

When can we see a video about the new version that can't be tensioned this way? I can send you a brand new lock if you wish. Gen 3 is what I believe they call it. Someone claimed it can be tensioned by pressing down on the sidebar, but I don't think it is possible due to the very small gap between the core and the lock housing. Anyway, it would be interested to see if you could attack it.

Can you use any kwik set cut key to redo the lock. I tried to use a key with deep cuts and it didn't seem to want to go all the way into the lock

Any tips for if we have one on our house to make it more secure? I just got one like 3 weeks ago from Lowe’s and I’m just not sure if I should or shouldn’t trust it.

Because you can pick at these cylinders all day long, but if you don’t put pressure on the side bar, you can line the key pins up to the sheer line, but the cylinder still will not turn. Any answers on that? Does it have something to do with you inserting the tension wrench at the top of the key way?

Its cause this is an older generation that isnt a reverse side bar. The new Gen3s are the ones with the reverse sidebar that needs to be individually tensioned.

Is this identical to the Weiser Smartkey?

hello friend, I was wondering were you got your tools from? thanks

he has differant manufactures picks. Multipick,or Peterson. I think Multipick.

Can this lock be rekeyed with the smart key without its current key? Or do you need both current key and smartkey to rekey?

+Joe Rosenbalm (ceojoe) You need either a working key or the ability to pick the lock to reprogram it.

you just need to be able to reset the lock to any key, if no key there are reset tools but you can also disassemble, line up sliders under slide carrage unit to any key and then reset like normal. however dissembly without a key is tricky but not impossible

You know that what most people need in a lock is one that does a half decent job, and one that doesn't lock you out of anything for long. I once worked as a locksmith and found there is such a thing as too much security. Plus why buy a super lock when all one has to do is kick on the door. You have to look at all the things that make up a door and lock. I don't need to know how to pick a lock, and want to pay a hefty price for a lock. Or have a lock that my locksmith can't work on. And I'm too older to remember to know how to take locks apart to change the keys. So all this is of little interest seeing how bumping can get you through most locks. No need to know how to pick locks or to have lock picking tools. Which you can be arrested for having, or not. I find little of value in most of this. Tah. Locks are for basically honest people. A pro is in in seconds, because he knows how to by pass most locks. And alarm systems were made to fill in for the failures of most locks and door frames. Tah. Yes, there are clubs and people who pick locks for fun, and tell people about the short comings of locks. It'd be better if such people served as watchdogs for government. We'd perhaps wouldn't need better locks and so on. It's hard to believe not that long ago people didn't lock their doors. Well, this has been fun.

Can you open these with an electric pick? I have not been able too!

Electric picks have an operating principle that's very similar to bump keys, which don't work with wafer locks.

Would you like a mostly functioning secure key lock?

+technosasquatchfilms Sure! I've never seen or tried one before. What does "mostly functioning" mean?

+LockPickingLawyer the operating key can come out where only the blue change key should, and it's missing a slider
