  • This is the lock picking lawyer, and what I have for you today is a Viking Security fingerprint Safe Model V S 20 be LX.

  • This costs about 100 and $50 on Amazon, and it's a fairly basic steel box of five millimeter thick door and two millimeter thick walls.

  • But the main feature is Theologian Tronic Fingerprint Lock.

  • It's actually a fairly unusual configuration for a security device.

  • This is a basic optical fingerprint reader.

  • Optical readers tend to be very accurate but also fairly easy to spoof compared to the more common capacitive readers.

  • So it's a little bit odd seeing one of these on a safe.

  • But that is not the weakest link on this box.

  • That honor goes to the mechanical backup lock that's hidden behind this little plate.

  • Here.

  • It's a cross lock.

  • This is the key, but unfortunately, it's a very poor quality cross lock, one that is susceptible to opening with Jig Lear's.

  • So let me show you how these jugglers work.

  • We need to first take off that nameplate to expose the key way.

  • Then I'm going to get one of these jig Lear's inserted into the lock just as I would with a key and then apply a rotational force while at the same time jiggling these around and just that quickly.

  • We got it open.

  • So I think it's fair to say that safe buyers expect more security than this provides.

  • And it's probably something that you should avoid.

  • 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 you like this video and would like to see more like it.

  • Please subscribe.

  • And, as always, have a nice day.

  • Thank you.
