Level responds to lock picker opening its $330 Apple Store lock in seconds:

One YouTuber has demonstrated that the Level Lock Plus smart lock you can find in the Apple Store might not be as secure as its $330 price suggests. However, Level has clapped back at those claims, saying that lock picking isn't the biggest real-world threat when it comes to break-ins.

The Level Lock Plus is a smart lock made by Level (not Apple) that's sold in Apple's stores. Despite being a third-party accessory, much like the Logitech iPad peripherals, it's a great fit among Apple's products as it's designed to be used with them; the Level Lock Plus can be unlocked using one of the best iPhone or best Apple Watch devices even if you've forgotten your actual house key.
