Actually, while this is pretty cool from a technical perspective, I can pick a Kwikset lock in 15 to 30 seconds with a tension bar and a rake pick. That’s not Jack Bauer fast, but faster than this. No one who has spent the time learning to pick would ever use this. It’s a pride thing. This thing is for unskilled people with no picking practice, like burglars. I can see a locksmith using it if he wanted to cut duplicate keys, but it is easier to simply rekey it once it is picked.
