  • This is the lock picking lawyer, and what I have for you today is a Champs brand combination key lock box.

  • It's a box.

  • Hold on Amazon for about $15 you'll usually see these locked around door knobs or fences.

  • They are, of course, intended to secure a key inside, so they should be as or more resistant to manipulation than the locks to which they provide access.

  • Unfortunately, as is the case with many of these boxes, it only takes slightly longer to open it without the code than it does to open it with the code.

  • Let me show you just how bad it is.

  • The first thing we're going to do is change the combination, so it's not something I already know.

  • So I just put it in change mode, and I am now scrambling those wheels.

  • Okay, let's take it out of change mode, close it up and scramble the wheels one more time.

  • So I now have a box to which I do not know the code.

  • I'm going to use the method I detail in video number 9 69 So if you want to know why this works, I'll leave a link to that video in the description below.

  • But I'm putting intention on a small, fork shaped piece of metal in the back of the mechanism.

  • And then I'm just turning the wheel until I find a loose spot in the travel.

  • Okay, I believe our code is 3926 Let's do that one more time.

  • That was way too fast.

  • Put it on change mode.

  • Scramble those wheels again.

  • Take it off.

  • Change mode, lock it up and scramble the wheels one last time.

  • Now I'm going to tension that small, fork shaped piece of metal in the back of the mechanism and find the loose spot in the travel of each wheel.

  • Okay, This time the code is 5148 So, as you can see, this box can be defeated quickly with a fairly low scale attack.

  • And as such, it probably should not be relied upon to protect important keys.

  • 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.
