  • This is the lock picking lawyer, and what I have for you today is the tap lock One plus, the company actually sent me three of these $100 fingerprint locks unsolicited several months ago, and I put them aside into lie a time to tear one apart and evaluate the mechanism.

  • Unfortunately, this has been sitting on my back burner for way too long.

  • So earlier today, I took them out and broke one apart.

  • Here we can see it stripped of everything, but it's mechanical components.

  • The mechanism is fairly simple.

  • We have a small electric motor that turns a cam, which in turn blocks the locking lugs from retracting.

  • It's not a bad design.

  • It's not shim a ble.

  • And besides the motor, nothing is made of a magnetically responsive material.

  • But there is still a weakness.

  • I can manually turn the Roeder inside of that motor using a magnet.

  • But because the motor is buried so deeply in the lock body, it's going to have to be a fairly powerful magnetic.

  • Let me show you how that's done.

  • Here we have the magnet.

  • I've covered it in gaffer's tape.

  • That's just so I don't scratch the lock up.

  • I'm going to run the magnet across the axis of the motor, switching polarities every few strokes that should turn the motor and open the lock.

  • There we go.

  • Opened right up.

  • Let's do that one more time.

  • Okay?

  • Took a little bit longer the second time, but we still got it open.

  • Okay, folks, As you can see, this is subject to a relatively low skill attack.

  • Using a magnet you can buy on Amazon for about $25.

  • In any case, that's all I have for you today.

  • If you do have any questions or comments about this, please put them below.

  • If you like this video and would like to see more like it, please subscribe.

  • And, as always, have a nice day.

  • Thank you.
