  • This is the lock picking lawyer, and what I have for you today is a wag branded key lock box.

  • For those of you who have never heard of it, why can best be described as the uber of dog walking?

  • It's a technology platform that connects dog owners with dog walkers.

  • As such, this box is intended to secure a key that will give the dog walker access to your home so they can get to the dog.

  • Now it appears to be a branded version of the Sherlock two key lock box, and it has a very interesting property.

  • The code to open the door is different from the code to open the shackle.

  • However, those two combinations are always three clicks away from each other.

  • So right now the door combination is 3333 and the shackle combination is 0000 Now this lock is certainly vulnerable to traditional decoding methods.

  • Using a shim tool like this.

  • However, there's also a more serious problem.

  • The gaps between the lock body and the code wheels are sufficiently wide that I can local right through them to the internal code wheels and see the notches in them.

  • That means I can decode this just by looking at it.

  • I'll demonstrate that for you.

  • But first we need to change the combination to something I don't already know To put it into change mode, I turned this 1/4 turn.

  • And while the wheels air facing away from May, I'm going to give them a good scramble.

  • Okay, that should be scrambled enough.

  • Let's change it back to operating mode and scramble those wheels one last time.

  • Okay, I now have a box to which I do not know the combination.

  • Decoding it is as easy as turning the wheel until I see the correct notch.

  • 93 three, one.

  • Okay, folks, as you can see, this is a pretty significant vulnerability.

  • And as such, it's not a product that I would recommend to protect a house key.

  • In any case, that's all I have for you today.

  • If you do have any questions or comments about this, please put them below, be like this video and would like to see more like it.

  • Please subscribe.

  • And, as always, have a nice day.

  • Thank you.
