      Thank you kindly. I hope this proves useful for you. I was trying to find something that everyone has, or could get, to make a shim for these locks. I have seen a quite a few videos were they don't even mention what they used, or the dimensions of the shim they made. Figured with using the actually smartkey that the locks comes with, should even up the odds for people like us to make something that works. Have a great weekend 🤜🤛

      Sometimes with the gm sidebar ignitions jiggler keys or rocker picks work excellent to defeat these locks.

    • @RookKnight
      @RookKnight  Před 6 měsíci

      Thanks brother. What did you use for your shim. The one I made was what gave me more consistent sidebar compression. I would definitely recommend giving it a go. If you don't have one to mod, you can get them off Amazon. I've seen you pick, you can get this brother. Practice with the housing off, the thing that holds the core in the door, that says kwikset on it. (Can't think of the real name for it at this second) but that was a big help too. Take care my friend 🤜🤛

    • @PickingPrincipals
      @PickingPrincipals Před 6 měsíci

      I’ve got a couple of those Kwikset tools I can try to mod to use as shims. Really a brilliant idea!

    Excellent, need to research this lock more to fully understand. Can that shim be inserted all the yhe way round the circumference of the core ? (I know it needs to be where the sidebar for this to work, just wondering)

    • @RookKnight
      @RookKnight  Před 6 měsíci

      I believe just on either side were the ball bearings are, where the drill protection is. Ironically the one stop that should be protected the most, isn't 😆 best thing to do, is like you said research it. Research the hell out of it (that's what I did) I learned how to gut these before even picking them.
      Also for practice, try picking them out of the first housing. The thing that holds it in the door, that says kwikset (can't think of the name at this second) good lock, I'm sure you will smash it.

    Great video my friend. I have not had the opportunity to try a super bump key if the customer does not have the original key. I believe I could bump the lock open and then use the tool to rekey it to a new bitting. Have you done this yet? I am just starting a locksmith business and do not have a bunch of old locks and cylinders yet.

    • @RookKnight
      @RookKnight  Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks for checking out the video. I honestly don't know if a bump key would work on these Gen 3s, but that's an interesting idea. Possibly if you shimmed the sidebar first? You definitely have me thinking. Thanks again for watching, and I wish you luck on your Locksmithing business👍🏻👍🏻

  • @jeffandthings77
    @jeffandthings77 Před 6 měsíci

    Best explanation I've seen yet for Gen 3 vs others. I'm assuming this hack doesn't work for for Gen 1 or 2?

    • @RookKnight
      @RookKnight  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Thanks you my friend 🙏 and you are correct, from my understanding with the gen 1 & 2 you can tension, and pick them like a regular lock. In truth, I think the gen 1 & 2 are more difficult to pick because of that. I don't believe gen 1 is even in production anymore (and are hard to find now days), and the gen 2 are all getting phased out for the gen 3. Have s great rest of your weekend brother 🤜🤛

    Haven't seen that method before. Just dug out my Kwikset padlock, will it work with earlier versions?

    • @RookKnight
      @RookKnight  Před 6 měsíci +1

      This shim will only be effective for the gen 3. With the gen 1 & 2 you should be able to picked them with a regular tension tools and pick, but first you will have to find out what generation lock you have.

    • @RookKnight
      @RookKnight  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Take a look at this, it should help you figure out what generation you have. In it the guy mentioned a gen 4 but I don't know if I agree with it, it's basically it's a 3 upgraded.

    • @RookKnight
      @RookKnight  Před 6 měsíci +1

      ​@@TequilaDaveI couldn't say for sure, if I had to guess I would say it's possible a gen 2. This one I'm picking in the video is a 660 and only as of late, have they started putting the gen 3 inside them. Best advice is to gut it and compare with the photos in the link.

    • @TequilaDave
      @TequilaDave Před 6 měsíci +1

      @RookKnight Being UK based and not that familiar with them I don't feel comfortable gutting one, even with a key. Anything like that or LFIC/SFIC locks I avoid taking apart. Maybe one weekend when I want to torment myself but until then I will leave it to the pros. 😀
