Curious Kwikset Kwestions (I bet you'll learn something!)

"This, among other reasons, is why we drink." This, among other reasons, is why we're all happily watching half an hour on Kwikset. <3

You've had a lot of videos talking about these picks but seeing one in action up close and personal makes me want to immediately buy one.

"I bet you'll learn something!" As if I don't learn something with every one of your videos!

That was fun! I would love to see something on identifying keyways... I find that manufacturers make so many similar keyways that I can never tell them apart.

Definitely learned a lot more about Kwikset than I knew coming into the video. Those pins explain a lot, never realized they were odd but it does make sense. I've raked a few of them open just using light tension but didn't find them challenging. The Smartkey line has been a bear, not one open sadly. Originally I was shying away from the Lishi tools, felt like I was cheating (I enjoy locksport, SPPing, etc), but could see a definite need for these tools for these types of keyways. Yes the super expensive scope that records is cool, but common man 75 bucks is a no brainer. Thanks Dev for keeping it real and engaging, any day I learn something new is a day worth living.

Great job on the video. I think it is really neat that kwikset did this with the Titan and I think their reasoning was that you can use the Titan and interchange it with the standard kw1 cylinders in the same system. On my front door I have a 6-pin Titan in the knob but then a smart key gen 3 as my deadbolt both using the same key.

Any time I find a lock without a key, I love trying to find it's vulnerabilities. I've asked my local thrift shops to hold any locks they get without keys for me so I can get practice locks. There's something oddly therapeutic about laying in bed and connecting to what is happening mechanically inside a lock.

i had no idea those code panels had such good locks on them, actually! still relatively new to lockpicking, so it's really cool to learn about all this stuff

Awesome explanation of the Lishi attack on the Smart Key Series. Makes complete sense.

Great video... been locksmithing for years and you "schooled me", there is always something to learn! Love it!

Before Bluetooth I had a remote control titan lock, the type that was available before electronic keypad locks. Easy to see the red locked indicator LED from the top of the stairs.

Nice detailed explanations as always. 👍 Extra brownie points for the Morpheus remark. 😉... Can't wait for the KW 4.12 with 7 pins ... 😉 Spoiler alert to everyone out there producing stuff: Have a consistent easy to understand naming scheme for your products. If potential buyers don't get it without a degree in your company history they go look elsewhere.

You respect our time but we respect your long explanation your talks are worth the time thanks for providing a uncut version I'll gladly watch both.

Just to add a little something, regarding that bottom cut on a Titan. For at least some of the locks, it's used for a control key to remove the cylinder. I believe it only had one depth, just as long as it had a deep cut. It was their attempt at an interchangeable core.

Extremely informative. Thank you so much.

Why do I love this videos so much?! Have never seen a ks key in my life.... (Europe) Still... keep up the videos I love them!

Extremely informative. I have tried to use the Lishi KW5 on the Kwikset Smartlocks, but I cannot get the tool to fit into some of the locks I tried. I have no idea why the tool won’t fit into the key way and there is very little information online about it (other than people saying that it doesn’t fit). Specifically, it doesn’t fit into the Smart Padlock.

I actually did learn something here. The distinct bitting of kwikset keys, the rocking side-to-side in addition to the actual main placement, is exactly why my work keys, seemingly similar to others, must not be working at all. It’ll go in alright, but won’t turn a single bit. So…thanks!

Always fun seeing a mention of Lockmasters. Rip Mark

Always entertaining!! @20:43: "This allows you to use the pullout method." I almost choked on my coffee.
