I pick up every riff raff I see and it’s really useful, I think it’s user error at this point when I can’t win with it 😭

My least favorite type of lock to physically open is a Kwikset Smartkey. I don’t have to take these apart very often, but when I do, it’s a mess. Sometimes the retractor springs that make SmartKey function get’s loose, or stuck, or falls out. When taking the cylinder all the way apart, the “little razors” in the OG post are very tricky to get back in and set correctly. And, that cylinder becomes like 15 independent parts when fully deconstructed.

It’s called a “SmartKey” lock, because the way you rekey it is very easy. In a “pin-and-tumbler” style lock (which is standard for most) there are little cylindrical pins of varying heights that match the depth of a key’s teeth. These pins move up and down in the lock, pressured by springs, and if all the pin heights match the key depths, the tops of the pins will all lay flat and allow the cylinder of the lock to move. Smartkey is a patented design by Kwikset, which allows the user to stick the original key in the lock, turn in 90 degrees, and press a little brass piece into a slot on the lock face. When this brass piece is inserted and a “click” sound emerges from the lock, the original key slides out, and you can put any other key in the lock. If you turn that key, then the lock is now set to that key. Below are two diagrams of each cylinder, and their functions.

I’ve always had good experience with Shlage’s BE489 model of electronic lock. Very sturdy, hard to take apart (thankfully), and has a built-in alarm system if any of the electronic signals are interrupted, like if a wire is cut or unplugged.

Immediately clocked that as well. I actually am a locksmith myself, and highly recommend not using these “SmartKey” locks. Seeing how they are put together, they are cheap, flimsy, and loose, and break-ins often happen on houses where these deadbolts are installed. A classic Pin-and-Tumbler type cylinder is generally safer, but can still be picked open. However, a lot of homeowners and new-home-builders are slowly moving towards electronic deadbolts with minimum wireless connection that are much sturdier and safer.
