So there’s only 99,999 keys? 🔑

no, there is 100,000 combinations, you forgot to count the blank key

How to open a code lock without knowing it’s combination

This guy made a video bypassing a lock the company responds by suing him, saying he’s tampered with them. So he orders a new one and bypasses it right out of the box.

this only works for simple keys and locks

Fascinating key puzzle.

Guard kit Door Lock everyone is wanting to have

Standard Kwikset is 5 pins 6 options each = 7,776. I've never seen a 0 pin, but I suppose that's possible. If you allow #7 pins which are very rare, it goes up to 16,807. If this worries you, remember most people that can do this can just pick the lock.

Went into a public garage. Saw "my" tan Ford Escort. Unlocked the Door. Started the Car. Realized the stuff in the right seat was not mine. Looked around. Realized it was NOT my car. Turned it off, got out, locked the door again. My key worked in both cars. This was 35 years ago.

Jeffrey Archer, in his Prison Diaries, wrote about a prison inmate that painted cityscape scenes that turned out to be key shapes copied from the guards' keys. They were given to someone outside the prison who cut keys based on them and smuggled them back in so the prisoner had access to everything.

Fewer, some combinations cannot enter or exit the keyway easily (or at all without breaking) and many are too insecure to ever be selected. I don't know the exact number (and it varies by number of pins anyway) but for your typical house key it's probably closer to 10k.

How to remove a broken key

There are 5 pins at 7 different depths, but the "Maximum Adjacent Cut Specification" (MACS) says the difference between two adjacent cuts can't be more than 4, so you can't have e.g. a 71617 key. ...Check Grok's work, but he puts it at 10,483 valid key combinations.

Most manufacturers only have 5-7 depths for each position, and there is something called MACS (maximum adjacent cut specification) that limits how far apart (in terms of depth) 2 adjacent positions can be, so the number of combinations (per manufacturer) are actually significantly less than 100K.

What’s the first thing you do in a hotel room

How key copies are made.

Yup. Heck. Friend had locked her keys in her Saturn and I went to help and I decided to try my key from my dodge neon and it unlocked the car.

Much less. Many key designs don't function properly, so there is a of combination that are no go.

are you retarded? there is more than one key type

This double maze copper lock has been used in China for more than 2,000 years as security systems…

if you want to fully realize how useless almost all locks are watch @LockPickingLwyr on yt.

"Even the most complex keys" lmao

so when I used to try random keys on ramdon locks it wasn't completely pointless?

Actually there's 100,000 keys if you count zero. Classic off-by-one error.

Don't you need the key you're trying to duplicate?

It's so easy... Protect yourself and invest a little in a secure cylinder lock!

No need for anything fancy, this simple tool can quickly get those key numbers. Peice of cake. 😎

Sometimes I wonder what’s safest method to keep items safe with the rate of thefts known

Wondering which flipper app that is.

Here is a clmplex key. Think this isn’t easy zo copy if you didn’t have the original.

If you had an old toyota 4runner with the original key and ignition people could easily steal it if they had an old key. Back then lots of car companies only made like 5 or 6 different keys for their cars.

First is kwikset, second is a schlade. A schlade will not fit a kwikset.

It's way faster to use playdough or clay to make an impression in half a second and then put the key back and leave. You can accomplish the same task. This has been child's play since before computers existed.

So when you lose your key everyone does have a key to your house? lol

That's more than enough. Much more than credit card PINs.
