Should make a lock display panel out of plexiglass so we can see things like this at work.

The tab that gets caught by the custom tool can be hidden behind a washer glued on with epoxy, then the latch reassembled into the door. I'll do that for the locks I installed on my house, so even with that clever tool *and* the accessory kit, you'd have to brute-force it.

I've been a investor/landlord for over 10 years. After replacing numerous door locks I came across these kwikset lock. It was so convenient to rekey my own locks. There is so many reasons I needed to replace the original key. The first problem I found was locksmith could never pick these locks. They needed to destroy the lock. If the lock needs to be destroyed I might as well do it myself. This is when I learned how easy it was to get into these locks, or should I say pretty much any exterior door knob. Honestly it is so much cheaper to replace the lock rather then pay a locksmith to open a door even if they could save the lock. For this reason I thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's especially helpful during a eviction. I need to know what I'm doing because the constable is not going to wait around for you to fail at opening the door. I might still use one but not as a only way to lock the door. A deadbolt is a must.

As long as there's Engineers, they will always make these kinds of tools. I love the thought that went into this.

Great video. Simple looking tool but does a great job. Customers will love the ‘no damage’ piece of mind.

This has got to be the best advertisement for kwikset smart key I've seen. I really doubted that they were bump proof before seeing this video. So sounds like a kwik set smart key and a bottle of super glue for that face plate will make our doors more secure.

I got my 1st pick set 3 days ago and my kwikset on my front door was my 1st try and I tried until my fingers hurt and figured I just suck at trying.
This video has made me feel so much better lol

Every time I watch these videos, it makes me think of my home security. It also makes me want to be a lock smith.

Before finding your channel, I’ve been practicing with this exact lock and I’ve gotten so frustrated only to find out that it’s not entirely me, it has been the tools I’ve been using. Thank you

[jesseparent]

for those of you interested on what's going on inside the lock-me! great video as always bill

[PovlKvols]

What a neat tool for a crappy lock design! :D
Very nice video.

[deniszen]

Nicely done bro. I would suggest putting acouple layers of no stick painters tape down so as to give a smaller gard against scuffs and nicks. But very good. 👍👍👍

I wish I knew about this tool 2 years ago when I lived in my old apartment. We had the same locks on every door and had people ask me multiple times to pick their locks when they’d lock themselves out. Always told them I just couldn’t do it, and just to wait until morning for maintenance.

Bill I just made a super simple bypass tool that fits in my pick set thanks to this vid. Thank you .

[bradw]

So long as there are products produced with a weakness in its design, there will be folks coming up with ways to exploit those weaknesses. Always amazed at how much new stuff keeps being developed. Cool stuff! Thanks for the video Bill, great review and demonstration!

[melindagrimes]

No idea how I got here but I love it ! Love your voice and your teaching style !

[AquaTech]

The tool works on standard and smart key kwickset knobs if anyone is wondering. So yeah the standard kwickset is easy enough to pick. But this bypass works also.
