all right guys this is brian with the
able locksmith
i am uh just doing a quick little video
with um some quick sets marquee i'm
working for one of my
uh rental property managers and they've
had an issue where
you know they've got a key
and um
you know what what they'll do is i'll
come in and re-key these places or in
this case it looks like maybe the owner
had put on some quick set smart key
locks on
these doors
you know a lot you know the quick set
smart key claims that you know they can
sell free keys gonna
save them some time and money not having
to re-key locks in the future
but i just want to show an example of
one of the problems
so you know the realtor or the rental
property manager
a lot of times they have their own
duplicators so they'll
uh
and and this one in particular i know
has a good quality hpc duplicator
now they'll take the original make a
copy
and you know give originals to the
tenants and then they'll have the copy
they keep in their office for emergency
cases
but when they got to this unit
their copy of the key you know it works
a doorknob
smooth as butter
but will not work this deadbolt
and we'll go over here the storage unit
same thing
beautiful
so of course the suspicion is
for lack of a better word
that you know maybe the tenant had had
their that bolts changed
well
if you're a locksmith and you know the
magic touch for
quick set smart key well let's do this
so what i did is i went and cut a
factory original you know with my
hpc machine
you know a copy of a key a lot of times
is going to have a slight
slight difference
in this deadbolt these deadbolts seem to
be finicky anyways but you can see
that a factory key
is turning good versus the
the copy that's going to be you know
every copy machine is going to cut
the cut you know a fraction of 30
seconds if
of an inch
deeper
but of course that shouldn't make the
difference in your standard locks it
won't make a difference but in some of
your smart keys
it will the mechanism is just two it's
two requires too much precision
well and i say too much meaning
too much so there you have it
quick set smart keys
you know they have their benefits but
they definitely have their issues
it works that one great
this one still wants to be a little bit
of a problem
so we'll take this one apart because it
could be two the other issue with quick
set smart keys is they just break
and in this case
it may be that the
there it is
i got it to turn
maybe that the mechanism is slipped out
of alignment because they work on little
fine little geared teeth
versus a pin system so if anything can
knock that out sometimes that the lock
just has a little glitch
um and i've seen it where those teeth
break off and a pin drops and then you
just don't turn your lock again
um so we'll take that we'll probably end
up taking this one apart to see what's
wrong with it so that's it quick set
smart key brian with a locksmith
thank you ouch
