(869) Review: Nokē Bluetooth Padlock

well guys this is the no key Bluetooth padlock it's not about six months and that's just about how long you guys been driving me crazy to do a review very heavy padlock about the size of the American 700 series about the same weight as well there are no key ways on this lock anywhere the only thing the only port we have is an electrical connector underneath this protective cover we're going to take a look at that in just a minute well how does the no key work without a key well there's several different ways that this opens up the vs. with the key fob which I don't have like your car remote and that will open it back up if you don't have the key fob or you don't have your iPad or iPhone which I'll demonstrate in a minute there's a way to talk to this lock with programmable Morse code and use morph code by pushing down on the shackle so when you push a short signal you get a blue light and when you push a long signal you get that greenish light so I've got this program for three short to long three short let's see if we can get this into work so one two three one two one two three we get a green light and we have an open now notice when we open this up there's no cut outs on the shackle there's no ball bearing indication but this is ball bearing I did look at the drawing but it's located deep on the bottom of that leg of the shackle so I tried shimming this thing for quite a while it is a ball bearing you can't shim ball bearings but even if you could you're going to need a shim that's about two and a half inches long or two inches long to get down inside the body so that's not going to be a possibility likewise bumping or double wrapping on the shackle will not dislodge the ball bearing or any spring-loaded Pauls because there aren't any okay notice when we close it back up we're going to get a red signal now there's a lot of easier ways to open this up and one of the ways and we get the iPad fired up is to have either an iPad or iPhone with the no cap or the no key a p-- okay so we fire it up and you notice I call this no key number one I've only got one of them and when we have the iPad or iPhone located nearby within Bluetooth range all we have to do is push down on the shackle and we get a green light and it opens you'll notice that it says now we are unlocked but what if we're drinking a cup of coffee and we really can't see our bike but within Bluetooth range how do we prevent somebody from simply pushing down on our shackle unlocking and then driving on our bike well there's what's called the two-step method so you can very quickly program that from one step unlock to two step unlock and then we can go back and now when somebody comes up watch the icon here when somebody comes up and tries our shackle it doesn't unlock the lock it does notify us that somebody tried to do it if it happens to be us then all we got to do is push the button we get the green unlock and we can get in so it requires the presence of your iPad or your iPhone within Bluetooth range in order to get it open all right let's take a look at the battery jumper real quick what happens if the battery does die let me move this out of the way well on the bottom is a rubber protective cover simply remove that and it really doesn't give us access to anything except this little terminal so when the battery in here dies all we do is we get a replacement 20:32 and you touch it against these two terminals and then you can get into your by holding it down you get the lock indicator and then we press unlock and we're in too easy that's pretty well thought out I've got to say all right those are all the ways to get into this no key I mention we tried shimming now it is a magnetic lock there are solenoids electronic circuitry in there so I'm thinking maybe that it's susceptible to magnetism in some way so I have a Sparrow's magneto here my hope is that I can somehow let me turn off the iPad to make sure we do not get an unlock oops come on alright so now we're not going to get unlocked on the iPad and I'm not going to use the Morse code so I'm hoping that by putting this magnet near where I believe the ball bearing is it'll pull it out of the way and we can get in there I have tried this little earlier and I didn't have any luck so I'm trying basically all the different angles I keep getting a green it's telling me it's trying and it's waiting for confirmation from my iPad to get in it's just not going to do it alright that fixed magnetic I tried for a while while ago it does not work I'm not going to waste any more of your time but it might be susceptible to fluctuating magnetic fields so let me go ahead and set something up and I'll be right back okay I've talked a minor Dewalt drill and I put little super magnets on the end of a steel rod and you can imagine that will produce some pretty dramatic magnetic fluctuating magnetic fields so let's see if we can get it to work all right I tried that earlier as well I got no luck at all on fluctuating magnetic fields but I do happen to have a pretty powerful Dee gal sir let me get that set up and we'll give it a try I have not tried dad all right there's a pretty powerful decal sir and you can imagine you can hear that thing humming when I put the tip of the screwdriver over there you can imagine the magnetic field put out by that thing I'm going to go ahead and set the note dreck are the no key directly on top of it and see if we can get it to work okay we're getting the green signal light telling me it's accepting the long pulse but I'm getting nothing trying different angles now I'm going to actually take the electrical contacts and put them directly in in contact with that and I got nothing face down all right I probably pulled all the iron out of my blood through my hand but we got nothing on this no key it just doesn't seem to want to accept any kind of magnetic influence to screw up the circuitry so I don't know for that outside is giving it shielding or if it's just not going to be susceptible so now we got to start going into some destructive techniques and the first thing I might think what happens if we overwhelm this because these things are only about three volts what happens if we put 10 times that through this terminal could we overwhelm it that way cause the circuitry to shut down and cause a solenoid to fail let's find out all right I got some terminals hooked up on the bottom where you're supposed to jump the battery which is three volts and then I've got to hook up to a power supply I've told it to give it one amp so let's go ahead and bump our voltage up and three volts is what it's supposed to be I'm going to jump it up to ten times that let's jump up to thirty volts and one amp and see if we can cause a little detonation here and there's what we got what happened to my voltage here we go still at thirty thirty-one volts close enough and I got nothing here let's go ahead and see if we can get any kind of cooperation out of this thing make sure I don't get fried and I'm not even getting the signal light so I think we've probably overwhelmed it and it does not open so at least they have that protection mechanism well we've destroyed the inners now let's go ahead and move on to the next attack all right let's see if we shock this thing open I've got it clamped up inside of a vise and I have another lock holding it in place I've got my bodyweight clamping it down I think that'll probably hold it I'm just going to first take a regular hammer so I'm like a crook might carry and I'm going to first try to strike it here and I'm probably will alternate back and forth so let's see if we can overwhelm this with brute force nice solid hits I would say it's not going to yield alright let's try something else alright got that baby clamped up again and I have a two horsepower grinder better than any battery-powered thing let's see how tough this shackle is all right this little guys seen better day the grinder went through there pretty quickly but it's not really likely a criminal's beak can be carrying around an 18 pound 110 volt 2 horsepower grinder more likely they're going to be carrying on some bolt cutters so I've got some 18 inch bolt cutters here I'm going to go ahead and clamp up right in here right about where that grind mark is and I'm gonna see what we can do I'm going to put it in the very bottom of the Chuck which gives us the maximum possible leverage and give it all my all I got not happening at best I barely put a mark on that so I think we can confirm this shackle is pretty hard not going to be cutting through that with bolt cutters at least small 48 inch ones gonna need some six-footers all right I had to take a chisel and get that thing off there it did not want to come off I don't think we truly disabled the locking mechanism caused by the shackle but I tried twisting it but the case was deformed but I took a chisel we got that off this is solid stainless steel and it's in held in place in three places on the inside on these little lips inside of here there's our battery we won't be needing add anymore or any of those other little pieces let's go ahead and take out these three screws and see if we got underneath all right doesn't get us very far this is still cast stainless steel here this looks to be an insulator okay all stainless steel on this side we're not getting through there this is just the power connector for the battery and it comes out powering a circuit board coming to that side and then going through here that's what goes to the jumpers that we put all that voltage through so I don't see anything fried on here so it must be fried on the circuitry on the inside all right let's go ahead and I'm going to get a chisel we're going to pop the other side off and see what we can see from that side okay the no key plate popped off there are three I broke one of them there are three legs that go onto this stainless steel body and they're secured by these three screws completely through the other side so this faceplate is not going to be coming off easily the LED that shines through there is located right there so let's go ahead and pop off these four screws and see what's underneath it alright looks like we have some molex connectors here this is from the power on the other side and this probably goes down to the servo motor which appears to be buried underneath that steel plate so let's disconnect the molex okay steel plate and was locked on to these two pins as well as being screwed down with four screws inside of there we got our ball bearing so the ball bearing is indeed we dumped some of this stuff out well damn it I pulled out the actuator he went right here there's our ball bearing and the ball bearing goes into this little cutout right here so the servo actuator turns this little wheel you pull them back out and there's the cutout for the ball bearing to fit right there I think we probably broke in pretty good okay well anyway this is the small actuator motor very low voltage obviously and this is probably what burned up be my guess so not a lot to it but everything in here is made from steel it looks like yep everything you made from steel so you're not going to be overwhelming anything on the inside of this lock pretty for 70 bucks no no key lock was ever intended to go to this level of punishment but I wanted to see what it was capable of and I think we can all agree that this is probably a pretty secure lock unless your circuitry goes bad like there's an EMP pulse and the zombie apocalypse begins then I don't think we need to worry about this thing failing by itself pretty secure lock I don't think anybody's going to walk away with a bicycle anyway fellas there you go the no key I'm gonna have to give this thing the thumbs up pretty tough lock and I would say I haven't been able to figure out a way to bypass or break into it other than complete physical destruction there's all those pieces I'm going to have to get busy and I'm going to put this thing back together and I see it another day next your time stay safe stay legal get yourself an O key lock you
