Ngl, this is a straight up ad disguised poorly

A realistic security test would at least give an expert or even better a team of experts a month or so to play with it. Let's be realistic the risk isn't someone randomly coming up against a new device it'll be when someone discovers an easy compromise and shares it widely. WSJ you shouldn't be advertising products, you should be giving honest reviews.

shortly after this "Hello everyone, this is the lock picking lawyer and today I’m going to show you why you shouldn’t buy the Yale lock"

WASTE OF TIME ALERT: Spoiler, he doesn't even try to force it, manipulate it or break it to enter and simply says "looks good to me"

His bump tool won’t work too well on the Yale smart lock, but will work great on the window next to it.

Reality with break-ins is the thieves don't pick locks, they use brute force to kick a door in, or they break the glass if there is any on the door. You are far better off reinforcing and hardening your door and jamb before you upgrade to smart locks. These locks are meant for convenience and buying into a connected home.

This is clearly an ADVERTISEMENT!

What happened to UKposts labeling Ads?? This is shady. You are supposed to disclose the fact that you are clearly advertising this product.

5:15 "copies of keys today can be expensive" They're like $2 each, dude.

"You can hear the motor driving the lock" LockPickingLawyer would probably use a rotating magnet to turn the motor.

We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version ukposts.infoUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.

This is definitely an ad. No way a veteran locksmith like him would ever speak highly of a smart lock if it was his own words.

I see "Leading Lock Expert" but no Lock Picking Lawyer, i'm out.

“Copies of keys can be expensive” really? 3 bucks maybe

Nah. Guys please call Lock Picking Lawyer.

I watched whole video, thinking he is gonna break the lock at any moment now...... 😅

With all respect, you got Industrial revolution guys picking a computer. 😂

To pick this lock, you don’t ask a locksmith. You ask a hacker. Old mechanical gen vs next gen.

This looks perfect for high traffic areas. Like offices/hotels airbnb etc. So you can change the code frequently

It's killer. I'm sad that where I'm moving to doesn't have this but this video did tell me how important it will be to install my own security cameras when you're a renting vs owning the property. If you can afford it, please get it! It's a game changer.

He put it as nice as he could to make it sound like it's slightly better than a regular lock. Because of the other things that were not tested.

This feels like an ad for smart locks but with extra steps I demand for Lock Picking Lawyer

Very clever to talk about security when using a glass and wood door :-)

And 90% of doors could probably get kicked in easily as well. Safety is an illusion and locks don’t always keep you safe.

For those who don't know, Marc Tobias is a legend in the lockpicking scene

There is an old saying. "Locks keep honest people out"

You don’t need an expert lock breaker to beat a smart lock. You need an expert hacker. Just like you wouldn’t bring a hacker to open the glovebox of a Soviet-era tank.

I have this lock but it’s not the Google one they sell a regular Yale with wifi that can connect to Alexa Google Apple HomeKit and Samsung Smart things it a pretty cool lock the thing I like about it is that when you come home and your within 20 ft of the lock it opens by itself so you don’t have to type the code in when your hands are full

every pound is a seedling, invest your seedling to creat a tree,re-invest your seedling to creat a forest. to become rich you must value savings more than spending

Which lock allows you to add multiple homes (more than 5)? Nest offers up to 5 homes via Google home and I need more than 5. Any thoughts?

ok, when you have glass main door..easiest way is to break small hole and open the door by hand from inside..? or am I something missing?

WSJ: I’ll give this a 4/5 “ Hello everyone, this is the lock picking lawyer and today I’m going to show you why you shouldn’t buy the Yale lock”

Lockpickinglawyer: hold my beer, oh it's unlocked already

I think the thing i hate most in modern design is capacitive touch screen buttons that could be physical buttons. Imagine trying to get this hideous thing to work in the rain.

Correct me if I'm wrong. What is someone break the glass/montior of that lock making touch insensitive and you don't have that mobile option with you . In that kind of situation what can be done?

Let's ask a horse carriage expert about the steam engine carriage train we have just developed.

The obvious information is: if you can’t picked up the lock, break the nearest glass. So the real advise must be :first take a plain multi security points door.

I sayed in an Air BnB with a Yale smart lock once. It took just one night for me to realize I never wanted a Yale smartlock. I think I spent more time fumbling with the darn thing than I did sleeping inside the Air BnB.

what if someone break the glass next to the lock, access the lock from the inside and unlock the door?

LPL might suggest placing a strong neodymium magnet to open digital lock

"So what better person to test this" Just to be clear, the guy that breaks into smart locks is likely going to have a background in hacking, not lockpicking. I haven't finished video yet, I could be proven wrong!

So is nest super secure, do they have a single signal streams that is sent in the clear like the burglar alarm that rhymes with Scimply Face? Does the lock have firmware that can be upgraded to make up for bugs and vulnerabilities that come up over the life of the product? The question is how much will it slow the adversary down, more time is better, but there should be other layers of security to catch the perp when they are trying to get past the lock. If nest is hacked and its also connected to the security system well then you get the picture.

What do you do to open your door if the lock fails i think this is a important aspect and they didn't cover it Quickset has his own version of it and it has a key cylinder below the keypad

I want something like this but for my commercial building. I own a business and often rent it out to people. I would love to hand them codes that only work on certain days and times instead of a copy of my key. Does anyone know if this would could be used on a commercial building or of any that are out there? 👀

This is an advert that has nothing to do with smart locks except for one brand.. the brand that paid for the advert.

This wasn't much of a security test. You didn't really give him a chance to break in. He could have used force to break the lock casing off or could have attempted to disconnect the electrical signal.

Real question is do you want the theft to break a 60-100$ lock or a 500$ window ? Either way if the theft want to get in he will. The difference will be how much that intrusion will cost you.

You can put multiple locks on that door, will just break the glass to unlock it.

We need the LockPicking Lawyeron this one !

A lock connected to internet sounds Completely safe NO HARM at all ... It's not like NSA or FBI is going to hack it!

"... and Nest a KEY player in.." - bravo 👏🏽; I see what you did there

Hiring this guy to test your lock is similar to going to your local mechanic to repair your Tesla.

I have a group that has picked our door locks, have picked locks i have purchased online, we had a professional machinist put in a cable, with 2 heavy duty locks, and our neighbors STILL break-in and steal AND vandalize our place and our fairly new car. Plus, we recently purchased 6 devices from Simple Safe monitoring devices and their security services;… the thieves STILL manage to bypass EVERY device we have had installed. We cannot afford to move to a new location. PLEASE, please ANY good suggestions to keep my , it seems like, our neighbors out of our home short of getting some Dobermans or Rottweilers?

Why is this whole video just one long ad for a Yale smart lock?

Repeat pressing the same key on the touch pad, won't it leave an imprint eventually?

You need to talk to Lockpicking Lawyer, never has been stumped by a lock yet.

Interesting video but I feel not enough was done to test the lock security.

I enjoy the quote at the beginning of this video that says who, better to test this then an expert. However, this expert admits at the end of the video that absolutely no testing was done against any of the actual electronics or wireless capabilities of this device. In other words, you gave an analog expert a digital device, and they affectively offered a minimal opinion around how secure it is. Not very useful, but I would say the advice around your windows and door being a greater risk is what most homeowners should pay attention to.

Good advertisement for Yale😉

I will save you time. The guy did not even attempt to open the lock...

Maybe I should just keep my basic lock and figure out how to get in in case I'm locked out.

Poor people think about what they can buy with their money, Rich people think about what they can invest in with their money 💰💰💰;

Yes I love advertisements!

"In high school, the conductor of the Denver Symphony got locked in the dressing room and I figured out how to get him out ...- C4 works on dressing room locks, too!

Keypad locks are vulnerable to wear patterns and dusting. 4 digit code you have 256 possible combinations. Some clever tricks on eliminating improbable patterns and you can get that down to 64, or possibly 32 combinations. The circuitry is on the inside of the lock, so it is harder to attack physically, but not impossible. The biggest issue is with the Weave Protocol that Nest uses. It has some big bugs. All of that said, how many robberies or home invasions start with a picked lock? This is specifically not a high security lock, if you have a priceless painting, or state secrets squirreled away in your house that someone would go through that effort to not be detected .... I dunno ... Perhaps your McMansion needs a vault or a full time security detail.

you should do a only hand video with LPL

There is video of a hacker opening someone's door with a smartlock on it. Walked right in while the people were home.

Installing high security smart lock beside a glass door is a clever way to protect their homes.. 🤐

I wanna report it for "unwanted commercial content" but it means i report google to google 😂😂😂

So how do you get in your house when the power goes out?

I really felt this was an ad for the company.

It seems super secure until someone walks by with an app that auto unlocks it

What about the battery life?

What happens if there's a fault with the motor when you are trying to get in at 3am in the morning?🤣

Even though,I find this smart lock still not as reliable technology as it is portrayed in this video,particularly lock app can be easily targeted by hackers burglars 😎

I thought these things had a backup key slot still so that when you failed to replace the battery even though it's been beeping at you for the last week your not forced to drill your way into your own home

Can you open a smart lock when your smartphone is dead or if there's a power outage? I worry that a lock like this would cause a lot of trouble for folks after, say, an earthquake.

What happens if the internet isn't working?

I think you couldve opened that with a turning tool

There should be a UKposts channel seeing issues with these types of locks (checks LockPickingLawer...)

With no key override, when battery goes dead, then you are SOL. To clarify, I assume the smart lock sends an alert that the battery is low. Given this, there can be situations where you don’t charge it or replace battery in time. For instance, let’s say you have a property in another city (ABNB, 2nd home, etc).

Very good

Prob 90% of homes here in S.Korea use smart locks. Haven't had to carry a home key in ages.

First glimpse thieves go for the windows or kick door open. There goes your fancy smart door lock 😎

That lock doesn’t have commercial grade component’s & would fold under a brute force attack.

Lock picking lawyer : hello master

Best ad for a lock or replace all you windows with a tempered or bulletproof glass

A noob question, does smart lock hold against a hammer strike?

"smart" locks like this have 2 problems: - most if not all of them need some kind of cloud service to work. This creates all kinds of security and privacy issues, and if your internet connection goes down, you're screwed. - there's no keyhole. If the thing stops working (dead battery, dead internet, whatever) you're screwed.

Okay let's see the lockpicking lawyer now

Lol, I cannot imagine leaving in a home with all of these glass walls and doors. Why do you even need a lock if anyone, even a child, can easily break the glass or the door itself? Maybe for not letting your cat go out

Thank you now you are the real master class

The only difference is hackers will unlock your doors instead of lockpickers.

Why did no one ask what happens when the lock loses power? Unless something has changed significantly when they lose power they fail safe, which leaves the door unlocked.

Can you get locked out or worse inside your own home... what if you lose your phone

I just installed and electronic smart lock at my apartment I live on the 3rd floor before I installed the smart lock someone some how got a hold of my extra keys I had hided in my apartment. Then one day I noticed things where going missing none expensive thinks like coffee and suger. This would happen when I would go to the supermarket, Bank etc. i just put it off thing’s I forgot that it may had been me using taking. 5 months later covi 19 hit I ordered mask’s and gloves boxes and my medicine’s that I take for my back pain I would later find both boxes would be empty the faces mask’s they would leave me with just 2 lonely mask’s and the gloves box empty I paid a total of $120.00 for my medicine they just lift me 10 pills out of 200 pill’s in all they would walk off with a total of $260.00 dollars. This again happened 4 months later enough I installed video cameras all over the apartment plus a camera doorbell! Also the smart locks at the front door with a smart lock deadbolt also smart locks in my bedroom door plus in my home office! The good thing about all of these devices is if there’s movement inside the cameras send you and alert some with the doorbell and also the smart locks the smart locks even tell you if someone has entered the wrong numbers code’s that it would start to beeping like an alarm 🚨! The other thing that I like about the locks is if something happens to my my family can open the doors remotely from any where in the world. And if they come to my place if I’m not home they can open the door with there smartphone’s. As of now the crooks (Rat’s that walk on two 2 feet 🦶) haven’t broken into my place yet

I can break into any house by just breaking a pane of glass. Most houses these days have lots of glass in their doors, which makes them easy to open no matter what type of lock they have. Unless you have an alarm system that detects broken glass and/or open windows, and generally only rich people do, your house is not safe.

I wish Yale & Nest would roll out more designs. This one is dorky looking and doesn’t have a fingerprint reader.

LockPickingLawyer has annihilated all of these. I don't think he's ever recommended a smart lock or thumb print lock.

4:43 locks only help keep an honest man honest😂
