  • This is the lock picking lawyer, and what I have for you today is a hyper tough brand deadbolt.

  • Hyper tough is Wal Mart store brand, and they charge under $10 for this lock, so you can be pretty sure that some corners were cut.

  • Of course, one of those corners is resistance to picking.

  • I think that was probably completely ignored here.

  • Single pin picking, raking, bumping, you name it.

  • It's probably going to work on this lock.

  • In fact, I'll pick it open for you in just a moment.

  • But picking isn't as common a threat in the real world as someone forcing your door kicking it in something like that.

  • So it's important to know how good this lock is at its design task of holding your door closed.

  • And they're one of the most important parts of the lock is the strike.

  • What I have here is a strike from a quick set deadbolt, not a super high quality locked, but certainly adequate In this department.

  • You can see it's very, very thick.

  • I can't bend that if I try and this is important, the screws that hold it in.

  • We have holes for four screws, and the two that are closest to the jam are very long.

  • In fact, they go all the way into the houses frame.

  • That's very important if you're going to resist force attacks.

  • So let's see what's in this hyper tough dead.

  • Okay, we have the strike here.

  • It only has two screws.

  • The plate isn't nearly as thick.

  • In fact, I can bend that pretty easily.

  • And let's take a look at the screws for this, Okay?

  • You can see the screws that hold that strike in.

  • Are these little short ones thes longer ones are what?

  • Hold the two halves of the dead bolt together.

  • So this is not going to resist a lot of force before it pulls out.

  • In fact, this alone makes this deadbolt a deal breaker.

  • Okay, let's see what it takes to pick into this lock.

  • Put this.

  • You know what?

  • I'm not gonna put this in advice.

  • It's not going to take nearly long enough for that to matter.

  • Do some top of the key way tension with a 50 thousands thick pry bar in a standard hook in 25 thousands.

  • Click out of one quick out of two, maybe a little something on three.

  • Click out of four klick out of five.

  • We got this open, as you can see.

  • Not terribly difficult.

  • Okay, let's see what it, uh, what this lock has inside.

  • And this tale.

  • Peace cannot be removed non destructively.

  • So get a follower that fits around that.

  • That should do the trick.

  • We will need the keys as well.

  • Okay.

  • And we can immediately see another corner that was cut.

  • This core has been cast, and they didn't even bother to drill the pinholes.

  • They just cast a rippled break in the middle of the corps.

  • Okay, that's being a little bit on the shy side.

  • Let me see if I can help these pins out with my pick.

  • Okay?

  • And these appear to be double sided.

  • Keep ins.

  • What I mean by that is they both have the same.

  • Both sides have the same bevel.

  • The reason lock companies do that is it makes assembly very easy.

  • You don't have to worry about putting a keep it in upside down.

  • However, it also makes picking extraordinarily easy because it opens up a nice, wide sheer line.

  • Relatively certain these driver pins are all going to be standard.

  • At least I did not feel anything other than standard pins.

  • Okay, All standard pins.

  • Both the key and driver pens.

  • Cast housing, cast core, non drilled pin chambers.

  • Um, double sided.

  • Keep ins.

  • All in all, this is a lot locked with a lot of corners that were cut.

  • It's not a surprise to me that this is a $10 lock.

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