  • This is the lock picking lawyer, and what I have for you today is an Amazon basics desk mounted gun safe with a biometric fingerprint lock.

  • It's designed to allow quick access to a firearm, using either a fingerprint, a numeric code or a mechanical key.

  • Now I would normally focus on the mechanical lock, and this one does have its shortcomings.

  • But today we're going to look at a particularly egregious design flaw with the electronic lock.

  • If we open this up, we'll be able to see a small button on the inside.

  • That button is what allows us to set the code and register and delete fingerprints.

  • It's that tiny black bump all the way in the back.

  • Unfortunately, that button can still be accessed and operated while the safe is closed.

  • All you need to do it is a thin piece of metal like this.

  • So let me show you how it's done.

  • First note that my finger is not registered with this reader.

  • We're gonna change that by reaching inside with this thin piece of metal, pressing the button, registering my fingerprint.

  • Now, whenever I put my finger here, opens right up so as you can see compromising.

  • This is inexcusably fast and easy.

  • And because of that, you should not depend on this to stop a curious adolescent from accessing your firearm.

  • 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.
