Thank you SO MUCH for this- I'm working in an area where the majority of apartment complexes are stocked with these little smartkey lock pains... very interesting technique, thanks so much and I look forward to mastering this lock series!!!
@@moose2934 Honestly? I avoid them if at all possible. If it's a latch, I'll latch-slip it or pop the door open. If it's a deadbolt, I'll remove the face plate of the deadbolt and back the screws out with a drill bit, the lock fall apart, I'll open the door with a screwdriver, then put the faceplate of the deadbolt back on, reassemble the lock, and usually the damage is minor enough that nobody notices it. It's a ton more effort, but beats drilling them out and having the customer have to purchase a new lock. They typically hate doing that.
Thanks for the vid.I just picked up my 1st Smartkey ta try an pick. Thing has whooped me thus far. But wasn't sure if it was gen 1,2 or 3. Now that I seen the difference I know I have a 1 or 2. That will help in my approach. Keep them coming bud an have a safe 4th...
Just got a pick set the other day and have been picking any lock i can get my hands on, but when i tensioned a kwiky i thought it was broke or i was going crazy..er.
Kwikset smart key locks have plastic in them. I notice that the Kwikset smart key lock in your video has plastic. I've seen and heard that Kwikset smart key locks can be forced open. I wouldn't recommend Kwikset smart key locks.
Ridiculous. As a locksmith these things are a nuisance and will cost customers more for a lockout. Because I’m not going to pick this pos. I’m going to drill it off the door and charge them for a new lock.
@@n0ame1u1exactly. The KW GEN3 w/ SK tech keyhole is not compatible with the KW Lishis...at least not for now. Maybe they'll come out with one someday... But probably not since the sidebar shim technique is usually the way to attack these

Good reuse of a Peterson pick in an "Up Town" Lock! You did great presenting! 😀
1:50 That little hole looks familiar. Is that a Smart Thumb?
Appreciate the video. I’m having some difficulty getting the shim right and your breakdown really helps.

You a locksmith? If so, what’s your go-to approach with these suckers?

25:20 what the heck did you say after you said "its a rounded sidebar so..." ??????
Not an easy lock to pick...that's all I really need with so many other ways to get into my house. Thanks, great video.
Nicely done Sir, best vid yet
Just discovered your channel! Gonna binge watch your videos, but I wanted to see if you did the other generations of this lock.

Nicely done. Great explanation. Congratulations!

Nice job, not enough people going after this lock!
How do you know the pins set? Do they bind like pin locks?
Does this technique work on gen 1 and 2 as well?
Nice work and explanation ..
Nice job man!
really good explanation. thank you.

Nice job
Nicely done my friend good explanation great Joe I have a kwikset smart key with a sloppy Core👍😊👍😊😎✌✌
holy shit!! Good picking!!
Can this be done while using a Lishy?
No. Not currently. The KW Lishi picks will not fit into the KW keyholes w/ SK technology...at least not the GEN3's...
#3 KwikSet master pin blocks that hole with ball bearing in Gen 3.
Great job I really like the smartkey designs
Seems like a flathead screwdriver would be a bit faster since the pins in that stupid lock are all plastic......
took mine apart- no plastic pins
👍👍👍👍👍

Or you just buy the decoder and cut the key
I never ever drill
You can decode with a Lishi KW1 and cut a key. Search for "kilo" locksmith video.
@@tartgreenappleThat's only for the Gen 1 and 2, not 3 or above

You have to have a foundation of picking knowledge first. This is an advanced video.
