  • This is the lock picking lawyer, and if you use quick sets Marquis Locks on your home, there is a 98% chance that the key to your front door is in this pile.

  • Now, while this may look like a haphazard pile of keys, it's actually a number set of 256 precision cut keys intended to take advantage of a design weakness in the quick set smart key system.

  • Because the system is intended to work with existing keys, which could have excessive wear or might not have been cut accurately to start with, the lock needs to allow a fairly large margin of error.

  • The maker of these keys exploited that such that each of the tryout keys is just close enough to dozens of real key configurations that it will operate as a substitute 98% of the time.

  • At least that's the claim of the manufacturer.

  • Now I do recognize this isn't the fastest exploit in the world.

  • I twice times myself trying every key in the set and was able to try them all in about 10 minutes.

  • And it's important to remember that on average, you'll only need to try half of them.

  • So while it's not fast, it's not overly slow either.

  • So I have this quick set lock here, and we're going to try to find the one key from this whole set that opens it up.

  • It's gonna take a few minutes, so let's get started.

  • Okay, We got it open.

  • So obviously it takes a little bit of time, but depending on your skill level, it could be faster than picking.

  • And it's certainly faster than drilling and replacing the lock.

  • Also, for the covert entry types out there, it bears note that this will not leave the telltale tool marks of picking.

  • So that's another advantage of the system.

  • Okay, folks, that's all I have for you today.

  • And, as always, have a nice day.

  • Thank you.
