  • This is the lock picking lawyer, and I have a real gem for you today.

  • This is a Moffett Key lock box.

  • It's Amazon's choice and Amazon's bestseller for an outdoor key lock box.

  • I thought that a bit odd, since I had never heard of the product.

  • So I bought one.

  • And as soon as I opened the box, I realized why it was Amazons Choice, a moniker which depends in part on a large number of positive reviews.

  • This card was in the box.

  • It seems the company is offering a $10 rebate on a $20 product in exchange for five star reviews.

  • Interestingly, you will not get the rebate if you disclose that you're being compensated for the review.

  • My understanding is this violates Amazons rules, and it's probably also illegal at a bare minimum.

  • I think it is a highly unethical way of misleading consumers, but onto the product itself.

  • It's very average for this market segment, and by that I mean it's not very secure.

  • So let's change the combination to something I don't already know, And then I'll show you just how easy it is to decode and open.

  • We're first going to put this in reset mode.

  • And then I will scramble the wheels while they're facing away from May.

  • Okay, That should be enough.

  • Put it back to operating mode, close the door and scramble the wheels one last time.

  • Okay, that should be enough.

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

  • I'm going to take this fincham of metal, which I cut from 7000 stick feeler gauge and inserted between the lock body and a code wheel.

  • Then slip it behind the bar of metal which runs across the back of each of these wheels.

  • I will then pull that bar into the code wheels.

  • And when I feel a loose spot in the wheels travel, that should be the combination.

  • Okay, 9644 Okay, folks, as you saw, this is not a particularly secure product.

  • And on that basis alone, I see this is something tow avoid.

  • But if I did have any lingering doubts about it, they would have been settled by this little card.

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

  • If you do have any questions or comments about it, 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.
