And what I have for you today is the Honeywell model 61 05 key lock box.

Now, I have long believed that boxes like this actually make you less secure.

And that's because you're collecting all your keys in one place, neatly tagging their use and then securing them behind a locked that rates only slightly better than a keep outside.

I'll show you just how bad it is in a moment.

But first we need to address a significant problem with this particular unit.

The core is currently in the locked position that you can see the door opens freely.

That's because it is missing a small tab that ought to be welded on the inside of this wall.

That tab would engage with the locking camp.

We look at the inside of the wall, we don't see any damage to the powder coat, which means they probably just forgot to weld it on.

I have no idea how widespread an issue this is, but it is a big miss.

We're going to ignore it for now, though, and see what it takes to pick this open.

I'm going to use a small wiper insert and this wave rake just a couple of jiggles and it opened up.

Let's do it a few more times so you can see that's not a fluke.

Okay, as you saw, that was pretty easy.

But there may be an even lower scale attack.

We look at the side, we can see an exposed hinge, and all we need to do is not that pin out and the door will open.

I pop that out just enough to grab it with a pair of pliers, and once that pin is pulled out, we can access any of the keys.

Now, the rule of thumb for lock boxes like this is it should be more secure than any lock associated with the stored keys.

So unless you don't actually read any security, just the organization that a box like this provides or you're storing the keys to some comically insecure locks.

This is probably a product tow avoid.

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