Well not a lot of people go around picking locks but more importantly every lock can be picked if you have access to the pins , so even a 1000 dollar lock can be compromised . Also given that your house probably has windows without bars on them no thief would go breaking a door . So expensive locks really are a waste of time and only keep out hones people . That is why when i leave my bike somewhere i put a cheap lock on the front tire , a cheap lock on the back tire , a cheap alarm that is easy to find and throw away and i have an expensive GPS tracker hidden where no one would find it . My plan is to annoy the thief into leaving my bike alone and my back up is to have my bike tell me where it is . As for my house , i have the best thief protection possible , a good calm city :)

There's two reasons for the random buttons before entering the code. One is the wear pattern/fingerprints you mentioned. The other is that if it's outside, rain might sometimes trigger the touchpad. You don't want the rain entering codes at random - especially if your lock starts giving delays after a few failed attempts.

I've got a similar Amazon basic lock to this. When the touchscreen gets wet it lights up the entire keypad and will not allow any codes to entered. Basically the electronic part stops functioning until you remove the batteries and reinstall them.

Just a thought. Electronic locks like this should have an extra pin not required to unlock the lock that would set off an alarm if picked. They could put it at the back and have the key too short to touch it.

@Helladamnleet or just keep a lockout key in it and carry the other half on your keychain. Yes, an experienced picker could deal with it, but probably wouldn't have the right tool on hand to deal with it. An experienced picker could also come back with a heat gun and melt the superglue, so they're about equally as effective in that sense, lol.

Vor Monat
Allan003
Allan003

I used to work at a casino, one of the larger safes had a touch pad only, no key at all. If for some reason the power went out, and the generators failed, and the internal battery died you could then use a 9 volt battery and touch the top of it against a spot on the pad to supply temporary power to the pad so you could put in the codes. (there were 3 people each with separate codes) Once you had opened the safe you could replace the batteries from the inside, then panic because clearly you have bigger problems if all of safeguards failed. P.S. The touchpad could be swapped out without needing the safe to be open in case the touchpad itself failed.

I spent 30 years in the home and commercial security field. I can count on one hand the number of locks picked to gain entry into a structure. There are too many faster ways that garner less attention. Now, Locks on things IN the structure need to be secure and difficult to get through. The cabinet needs to meet the locks ability. Trailer kingpin and coupler locks need to be good to work effectively. Far and away, the MOST common entry was to kick in the front door. One noise. Entry gained and the door closed before anyone can look out and see what happened.

Exactly, the reason pick resistance doesn't matter is because it is literally never used to gain entry. Now bump and jiggle keys and lock guns are more common but as long as your lock is good against those pick resistance isn't an issue. People don't realize that often the front door isn't even the main method of entry. They typically target the back door, garage, windows, etc. That is why I put up cameras because a visible camera is probably the best deterrent you can have. The second they see the camera they are going to target a different house.

Are the KIK cylinders in these locks replaceable? I could foresee someone buying it for the features and build quality and not caring about the lock IF the core itself can be replaced with something better or challenge/security-pinned. In fact, as a follow-up video, it might be interesting to look at all the electronic locks in your collection that were good enough on the build quality that just need a new core (and the ones where you CAN actually replace it). Case in Point: Yale's electronic deadbolt (with Zigbee or ZWave integration for home automation) has an "okay" mechanism, lasts a few years of daily use, but the key-bypass core is CRAP. It is however a simple KIK cylinder that can be swapped out with two screws really easily, making that crappy core not a problem if you have one that has the right tail-stem.

In corporate buildings with combination locks at every door, the combination doesn't trigger the bolt directly. All door locks are networked to a central security computer. When the employee want to enter the room, the combo is sent to the central computer, which autenticate the request and send a signal over the Ethernet to the door lock and open the door. This way is possible to authorise every person to a different set of rooms, and to know which employee entered what room without video surveillance. Now, having mechanical backups in this corporate scenario is a choice for each company, but every security consultant will advice against. As shown by LPL, the backup entry is usually the weak link in the security chain. Thank you for the video LPL! Greetings, Anthony

In all fairness to Amazon, I'm sure they know you don't really slow down a proficient lock picker. The fact that they offer an ANSI Grade 2 suggests they also understand longevity.

My problem with a lock like this that never gets mentioned either, is the battery life is awful. Picked one up from one of the better known brands and once the batteries hits like 85% or so it can no longer retract the deadbolt. So every month it needs new batteries or less depending on use and I don’t use it that often. There is no way it could be my primary form of entry as it would be dead in less than a week.

I was burgled by someone using a bump key - I only worked that out when I ended up on this channel by accident after looking for information on locks. I was ignorant - I didn't realise my locks (cheapest of the cheap 25 years ago) were easy to bump. After seeing LPL in action did I buy expensive locks? Absolutely not. I bought a better lock - one resistant to the common attacks. And slightly better than what everyone else on the street has. But not an extravagant 'I have expensive stuff to protect' lock. I now know an ex professional burglar. I asked about entry methods - he said.....unlocked doors, open windows (he was a slim build and quite athletic) and then brute force - kicks to flimsy doors and bricks through windows. No tools, no skill and maximum speed. Bumping/snapping is high end or for areas where brute force attacks no longer work - lock picking is for show offs or diamond thieves.

It depends on where you live, and how good security generally is. I always say, look around, if you don't see bars on people's windows, crime is probably statistically so unlikely as to be not worth worrying too much beyond not putting a key under your welcome mat. If you do see bars, ask around to find out what sorts of criminals you might need to be concerned with. High skilled pickers are unlikely to be thieves, but low-skill attacks like bumping and raking are common in some areas.

With the whole random numbers before the actual pin feature, I wonder if a better alternative would be a feature that scrambles the numbers on the keypad screen every time you use it. Some websites have that feature for entering pin numbers. Then each time you enter the pin, the fingermarks would be in different spots. I'd like to see a video on the Wyze smart lock. Not that I'm planning to purchase it but I'm curious about it.

Randomising the positions works but makes it harder as well as more time consuming for legitimate users to enter the codes. Random pre-code numbers are uncommon enough to potentially confuse unauthorised users and seem to be easier to deal with. I recall using a random position keypad which would constantly annoy regular users and produce a very high number of failed attempts. It was the bane of the company and was replaced after a short time.

As long as a bump key or jiggler can't open it easily, it is good enough to stop most. Can you use a magnet to make the mechanism trip? Few burglars are going to go to the time and effort to learn to pick locks. The question is: how good is the construction to withstand being kicked in or jimmied with a large screw driver. You can always take it to a lock smith and get security pins installed if you are worried. Most lock smiths don't even pick if you call them to open a door when you've locked the keys inside. They just drill it and make you buy a new lock.

So, if someone wanted to rely entirely on the touch screen, could they just break the key off inside, or fill it with putty? It feels like the mechanical backup is what kills most of these locks, so why not remove it?

Do you think if rekeying the lock with better pins would make it a better lock or do you think it has other vulnerabilities that can be taken advantage of if pick resistance was better?

@Tyson Jensen the bitting would probably deter a rake attack, since flat keys are much easier to rake

Given that it has an anti-bump feature, I'd want to see if it also resist raking, and to see how it does against a simple brute force attack. The point of a deadbolt is to force the attacker to really work at it, but I fear a simple hammer to that front plate and you could probably open it with a screwdriver. Or not. No way to know other than to take it apart and see what's actually in there. If the only way in is high skilled picking attacks, well, the FBI is unlikely to be stealing my stuff anyway.

Maybe manufacturers should make the lock body, but leave the lock cylinder to a different market to fill. That way, an otherwise good lock will not be compromised in more ways than one.

Might be a good video request or if anyone knows the answer I would be Interested to know, would you be able to take the lock out and add a lock with the anti picking features? Obviously a normal customer wouldn’t do that but I think picking is an unusual attack method unlike brute force and ignorance

I would have rather seen a 6 pin Schlage keyway, but okay, you got one with a poor pinning. Change it up, and add some serrated pins. Granted, the typical end user won't be able to do that, but I think what they're really going to buy it for would be the gadget aspect, which presumably, given the price point, is marketed adequately to make enough people go for this one rather than the cheaper ones. Considering most people think that "a lock is a lock", and throw on a $12 junk deadbolt from Walmart and call it good, I expect they're sadly not terribly concerned. That said, people without the requisite knowledge, tools, and materials; call a reputable locksmith, and ask them to make it more pick resistant. And ask them to go the extra length, rather than just swapping a single standard driver pin for a spool.

Not every lock can be picked. LPL has videos on how he modified some basic locks for use in his own house. They are not only pick-proof but will actually cause the core to permanently jam if someone tries. This jammed position is easy to see, flagging the failed attempt. The downside is that the lock then has to be drilled out,

Electronic locks often use magnets to lock/unlock the mechanism. They can be manipulated as well.

imma try to design a lock where the pins are set at different angles to each other and if the pins are set too slowly the lock will lock up. It just might be unconventional enough that no one could figure out how to pick it in a reasonable amount of time and all the tools I've seen don't seem like they'd do a good job picking such a lock.

Another reason for random digits can be for the heat signature. Decent IR can see which numbers on a pad were last pressed, provided someone just used it.

Random thought on a potential security feature of electronic locks: What if there was a sensor in the key-way that detects when a "key" is inserted and starts a timer. And if the cylinder doesn't spin in say 5-7 seconds, then the lock is disabled and you have to enter a code to unlock it? My thought was this would block any picking attempts, as long as the lock had even the most basic of security pins in place. You'd have to be an exceptional picker to complete the picking in that timeframe. Of course this wouldn't stop bumps, but a basic anti-bumping feature could be included in those basic security pins as well.

@I'm Very Angry It's Not Butter True enough! I was more thinking of all electronic locks, rather than this specific one. I've never seen a lock that has an anti-picking feature like what I described. And it could just be because I'm not thinking of a glaring issue with it.

@Somdude Willson That makes sense, and if the electronics failed, then the sensor to disable the lock would likewise not trigger.

The installation are tricky for the inexperienced, and I did screwed up one door installation. But the lock work well.
