The renowned online lock picker – who regularly demonstrates his ability to open nearly any lock to his over 4 million subscribers – starts by commending the Level Lock Plus’ fit and finish, before announcing that the actual locking mechanism has some major flaws.The only downside is that many locks can’t be picked via raking, as it’s a trick that should only really work on the most basic and least secure mechanisms – not the kind you’d expect to find on sale for $330.In response to LockPickingLawyer's findings, a Level spokesperson told us that while the potential threat of a lock picker is eye-catching, only 4% of homes are broken into using this method (according to US Department of Justice (opens in new tab) and FBI statistics).They went on to explain that Level's smart locks help to tackle a "bigger risk" the roughly 38% of homes that are burgled (opens in new tab) via unforced entry – homes where people have entered through an unlocked door or window."Level products help minimize home break-in risks with Auto-lock settings at your control - a feature that no analog lock can match."
