It is not the first time I hear the Eufy name. Then I recalled the controversy Eufy had with Linus Sebastian here on YT, who pulled out of the sponsorship he had with Eufy. This happened because an Eufy camera promised maximum privacy, while Linus discovered that this door camera was uploading the pictures to a server in China. Not surprised they made an unsecure lock with a non - copyable key. Thank you LPL for all the enlightenment about security, that you provide to all your subscribers. Greetings, Anthony

Locksmith here. I have come across these keys before, from a couple different cheap manufacturers. I have missed the different head before, and when it came back, i noticed it was a KW1 with a Schlege head. Once i recut it, i noticed that when i shoulder stopped it, the blade came short of the new blank. Shoulder stopping is standard in my area, as it guarantees that even if the key is shorter, you will notice because it will cut off most of the tip. After which, one can file/grind off the remaining finger below the chuck. The only way this could be an issue is if the key is code cut and not compared. I could see some newer locksmiths missing that (i was there). It is good to spread the knowledge of the different heads, as that is a pain, but having a shorter key shouldn't make a difference as long as the locksmith is competent.

Bloody hell, I knew exactly what this video was about right when I saw the title. As someone who works in a Frattallone's hardware store, I ran into this EXACT same issue a couple weeks ago. Customer brought keys in to be cut earlier in the morning, was cut a set of four SC1s and sent on her way. She came back later that evening while I was there and said her keys didn't work on her lock. She figured the were too thick, so I thought, "Oh, maybe she needs some SC9s instead!" (They're a tiny bit on the thinner side and have a slightly altered keyway.) So I inspected them and noticed the grooves were the complete opposite way around from a standard Schlage keyway. I then asked her what the keys go to and that's when she described her Eufy smart lock. (Same model and all.) Thankfully I compared her keys carefully against my KW1 blanks before I cut any and noticed the length difference. Though I think I might've used WR5 blanks in my case? Can't remember. We refunded her for three of her SC1s and just swapped the fourth with whatever I cut for her. She was nice enough about it after I explained what had happened, though! Haven't seen her or the key I cut for her since. :P But in any case, it's hugely frustrating for both parties. For one, it heavily inconveniences the customer. Besides having a nonstandard lock with an obscure (and insecure) keyway, it means they have to burn gas driving back and forth between home and the location they had their keys cut if the discrepancy isn't caught. AND it makes the vendor look bad. But even if the vendor catches the discrepancy, there's still a reasonable chance they may not know how to replicate the key, and the customer goes home empty handed (and possibly furious) anyways. I could see the justification for a nonstandard keyway on a smart lock if it offered a higher degree of security, but being wave-raked open is just not acceptable. Many thanks to you, LPL. Most of my lock and key knowledge comes from your videos, and it's been invaluable help with my job! Cheers.

Eufy is also a company that lied in their marketing and were unfortunately doing the exact opposite of what they said they were offering in terms of privacy. Linus Tech Tips did a whole discussion about in one of their wan show podcasts. Even went as far as to cut ties with the parent company Anker who was a major sponsor for them.

OH MY GOODNESS! I just had this similar situation with a client who bought a house with a Smolet brand electronic deadbolt. The client sent a picture of the key, which APPEARED to be a KW1. When I arrived and got into the rekey, I discovered that the keyway was NOT a KW1, but similar to a Y1. I say similar because I had to do the exact same thing and cut the blade shorter to make a Y1 key work. Something to note, this Smolet lock had smaller-than-standard pins, so my repinning kit was useless. I had to rearrange the pins in the existing lock to create a new bitting. It worked, but I had to explain that the rest of the locks in the house couldn't be matched to this non-North American key.

Most theives aren't even going to bother at that point unless they know for sure something insanely valuable is inside. They'll just hit a house that isn't locked. If they're determined to get in, I can almost guarantee you they're not carrying lockpicks. They'll kick in the door or bust a window.

In a similar vein, there's a garage door lock that has a key that's very similar to the Schlage format. It's just a slight bit narrower. Or at least normally is. Apparently if you push hard enough, things can be made to fit. The pins are also slightly offset which nearly had me cursing a guy who had 3d printable designs for key-nibbling until I worked out it was the key, not the guides.
