  • This is the new Brockhage (lockpicks.com) BBT-100 bypass tool for Weiser, Kwikset & clones. In ANSI grade 3 locks, you can easily bypass the Smart Key (or any other KIK that is installed) in under 30 seconds. With ANSI grade 2 locks, you can use the same tool but will need Brockhage's accessory kit and can STILL bypass the lock in less than 3 minutes.

      Peter Carlson I checked when I assembled it nothing with the set screw changes locked or not I just need the Allen key it came with I can back it out pull the lever off and the ONLY thing holding the lock in place is a c clip. Mind you the Allen key is a lot longer than typical. But when you get it to that point a flat head screw driver can open it. And it will take you some time to sit there taking apart the lock.

      Outdoor lock should be screwed from inside only and there should not be anything you can remove outside ...good example Abloy
      www.bcsiteservice.com/product/abloy-high-security-dead-bolt-lock-with-double-cylinder/
      You can also improve that lock .... grind that part the bypass tool grabs totally off or round it up ... other way is to cut a small piece of pipe that you fit on to that to block the tool grabbing , it would just be a free wheeling part on it .

    • @kg4boj
      @kg4boj 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The only way to get to the outside lever retaining screw is when the stem is turned to the unlocked position. It actually has a hole through it that does not allow your allen wrench through the handle to it unless it's unlocked. Not only will the allen wrench not reach it, but the set screw cannot back out far enough to remove the handle. You can see that as part of the instructions on reversing the levers on kwikset's website.
      Pull the stem out and you will see why you can't get it while locked, the stem is in the way of the set screw and thus has a hole in it for access to the allen key... They of course put it in a direction that it can only be reached in the unlocked position.

    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.

      The kwikset deadbolts are easy to open without any form of destructive entry. Every customer that watches me grimaces at first when they see me pull out a thin blade and drill bit(and drill) which is literally all you need to disassemble any kwikset deadbolt externally without any damage in 30 seconds or less. Once opened I just have to reassemble it and ask the customer to test it to verify no damage was done and their key works as it should. Majority of my customers are impressed after and will tell me they thought I was going to destroy the lock by drilling it lol I should also add this same blade and bit method works for all the big box store versions of the Baldwins with smartkey cylinder AND even the Schlage keyway version....

      I could not agree more. Unfortunately, building contractors use these pieces of junk because they are cheap and easy to install. I'd estimate that about 70% of new home construction has these type of locks. As most homeowners are not educated about lock quality, they simply say "ooooohhhhh, shiny lock! VERY classy!" and leave them in place. Yes, Abloy disc detainer locks are unquestioningly the BEST locks but they are not yet very common in the US.

Get a video security system and that may help a great deal. Once the thief sees this he /she will go next door.

      40 bucks for a small bent piece of steel wire half-covered in rubber is expensive, no matter how you put it. The margins must be astronomical. I'm not saying it's not worth buying it, but the manufacturer could sell it at 10 bucks and still make lot's of profit on the thing. That's what makes it "expensive" for me. When the price for the final customer is way more than the total manufacturing costs. The same thing happens with a lot of automotive tool brands.

    Looks like I'll be buying a new tool ASAP, ingenious design in the category of "why didn't I think of that??" !!! To anyone complaining about the price, Yeah I COULD make it, but it's worth it to just buy it to avoid trial and error... Besides it's an obvious work expense, I get a new toy AND a deduction... Win Win...
    Typically I DO drill Dumbkey locks without bothering to attempt picking..... but ,... ONLY AFTER exhausting every other option... For example, can the latch be loided? (since a lot of builders do not install to properly engage the deadlatch, especially with the extra thick weather stripping we tend to favor here in the south)... Is there another door that has standard pin tumbler locks? If it does, chances are it's a Kwikset, so even if I have to pick both the handle and a deadbolt, it's only going to take a moment more.. Oh, but that door has a door chain on it... Another two minutes tops, and most of that is untangling my lasso tool and bending a paperclip... So it doesn't take much more time, and the customer knows I went out of my way to NOT charge them more than I absolutely needed to... That makes for happy customers. Happy customers leave good reviews (which bumps me up on search listings, increasing my call volume) and pass out business cards (free advertising)... So while time IS money, sometimes you'll make more money in the long run taking 15 minutes longer on that single job.
    As to how to handle it with the customer when I DO have to drill.... I've found the best way is to explain, over the phone before even heading out, that if the lock has a slot next to the keyway, I'll have to drill and replace the cylinder and that the replacement cylinder will be an additional $15 (those cylinders aren't expensive, I get them for $10 ea) IF there's no other way in.... That way the customer knows up front, with something they can look at and see for themselves, that I'm not just drilling to upcharge them... While I'm doing that I also have them check for the Schlage + cylinder, even though those are becoming, thankfully, very rare. I've never had a customer complain about the extra $15 at that point.
    With any non high security pin tumbler lock that for whatever reason I can't pick, bump, bypass, etc, I'll drill and replace with a reconditioned cylinder I've pulled off of hardware I've replaced (I've got boxes of reconditioned cylinders)... and I don't charge residential customers for that, since I didn't pay anything for it... They way I see it I shouldn't make more money for failing an unlock.. So typically I only charge to replace if the customer does in fact have a high security lock. This is both rare (not a lot of folks want to spend that sort of money, and typically the one's who do tend not to have many lockouts)... and THOSE customers don't mind, even when it means shelling out Medeco money... They bought an unpickable lock, so they understand it can't be picked.

      That's 100% right. San Francisco's head locksmith told me that same thing years ago. I had a shop that was almost impossible to enter through the doors or windows - so they ripped off part of the siding and helped themselves and took off before the cops came. If they want in, they will get in.

      @JustaSimplefact 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The kwikset in this video is a more modern, but fairly common, SmartKey model. You can identify them by the little rectangular hole to the side of the keyway. If that's what you were picking, no surprise you didn't have any luck. Normal run-of-the-mill kwiksets look exactly the same and are for the most part fairly easy. But believe me when I tell you, every single lock you encounter could potentially be the bane of your existence, no matter how crappy. To learn to really pick a lock correctly takes constant practice. An intimate understanding of the mechanism will combine with your muscle memory to form a mental picture of what exactly you are doing/feeling. Your fingers will bleed, your back and legs will ache, your picks will break.
      At the end of your journey, once you master the craft...
      you will still be defeated by a god damn kwikset.

Any Average lookin Joe Shmo Criminal could pull up to your house jump out throw a friendly smile and wave up to your neighbor standing in the front yard mowing his grass run up to your front door and making it look like he's finding the key that fits the lock gain unwanted access to your home well the entire time you're being robbed the neighbors walking his mower back and forth across his yard thinking hell I didn't know Don had a brother he's got to have a brother who else would have a spare key to his house LoL then 20 minutes after the guy that just robbed you left your house you pull up your neighbor has finished mowing his grass wonders over and informes you did you just missed your brother or whoever has your spare key by just a few minutes was only there a few minutes but seemed like a real nice guy hell he even smiled and waved looked friendly to your neighbors yet very inconspicuously when in your Safe Haven took all your wife's new jewelry those two new handguns you just shelled out $1,500 a piece for and took your vintage Yankees ball cap signed by Babe Ruth himself threw it on his head walked right back out the front door gave your neighbor a second friendly smile and wave and in 10 minutes time robbed you of an astronomical amount of money well the whole time your neighbors packing a 45 ACP just got done mowing his lawn and the whole time the only thing he could come up with is he must have forgotten his hat well he never batted an eye at the true fact you were actually being robbed then walks around bummed out the next 10 years over the fact he missed the opportunity he'd been waiting on for that very thing to happen by somebody that shows up and breaks out a window or uses a pry bar that's obviously breaking in so that he could test out the ballistics on the new 45 ACP hollow points that he purchased a few days prior!

    Good for a grade 3 junk lock. The Grade 2 you need to drill and patch. The epoxy is a shitty repair. I did these old condos/apartments that had sliding glass door locks that were the cause of at least 2 lockouts every week. Considering the number of locksmiths those old locks must have locked 3 people out every hour. I used to drill the window frames, unlock the window and come in by crawling over the kitchen sink rather than screw with a Dom lock for 3 hours. I had threaded an aluminum rod and would simply screw in a piece of aluminum, cut it and file it flush to the frame, then dab on some chemicals to darken it up to match the frame. The Kwiset locks have 2 or 3 or 4 spools, and a really nasty bitting can keep me occupied for 40 minutes. Some of them also have driver pins that dont make it out of the cylinder so I have dragged a few springs in trying to pick that Kwikshot junk. That jams up the lock. It's a 4 pin lock when I get done.

Locks only keep honest people honest. It's been that way for centuries - long before Kwikset ever existed. That's why there are different grades of locks. The better the grade of lock, the harder they are to defeat, but there's no such thing as an unbeatable lock.

While everyone thinks about keeping people out lives may depend on getting out. Really what is more important.
