Level responds to lock picking claim, says Level Lock+ exceeds standards
The developer of Level Lock+ decries “exciting headline” about lock picking, and says that its device has been granted the best grade possible in every category by the BHMA standards body.
Level’s response comes after a YouTuber demonstrated picking the Level Lock+. As reported by AppleInsider, the methods used were the same tension tool and bump key approach that works on regular locks, and Level confirms that.”For compatibility, Level uses a typical type C lock cylinder from a major industry supplier and is commonly available in hundreds of lock brands on the market,” said the firm in a statement sent to AppleInsider. “It’s no secret that any consumer grade lock cylinder can be readily picked by those with some expertise and tools.”
