do you think people will be suspicious if i do this outside my dorm room?
Just hide your key in the wall when you need punch the wall until a key is in your hands
dallashobbs excellent plan. I won't be getting my $500 damage deposit back though... haha
***** probably not but we shall see what happens
Can't read any of your comments. It's just...Emma Watson. AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
to build on dallashobbs idea. why not put it inside the door instead
Genius
So are you "The King of Random"
Christian Wang genius
it was , untill he posted the video:p
Nice job helping the criminals... dweed!!! >=0 \
Could you please please do a tutorial on how to make a home made perpetual motion machine. PLEASE I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED ONE.
That genius! Love it! But now if any Household Hacker fans are robbers they'll know to check for a hidden key next time they're on the job haha ;)
P.S. Sne-key pipe... love it haha :P
Then just to be safe, after putting the key in the pipe, bring the pipe with you.
BirdsEyeViewDK Haha you know me too well. Love the idea
curi0 hahahaha
thats exactly what i was thinking lol
Pretty clever. That's a big enough container to hide extra stuff in too. Emergency salamis maybe
Yes. I love salami
Works great unless you live anywhere that snows
*****
Because the sticky won't hold, dumbass.
So fucking rude
ThoraniosX You could use a different adhesive that will. YMMV
But will it be removable? I doubt it.
*****
Because if it's the side of the house, you'll have to clear it everytime just to get the key considering that some place get between 3 to 8ft of snow. Where I'm at, were at 6ft which isn't fun.
Also, disregard ThoraniosX's comment. He's a poor lonely soul who's only interaction is via the internet and that irks him inside. As you can see, his ability to communicate his desire for companionship is actually a arduous task. It doesn't help that he's the only Star War's Larper in existence. Well, at least he can be Bobba Fetts, the one character that being thrown so many time in the Sarlak, one by a blind man, that he got a free season pass.
Finally a good video
I know right...

I mean no hate or anything, but the other stuff was old and widely known already.
Ikr his videos are starting to suck, but this one was good
The best way not to get locked out is to live somewhere you don't have to lock your doors.
Does such a thing exist?
HouseholdHacker Canada, maybe? I wouldn't know.

This would make for a fun Geocache. I would prefer for something less ugly for my home and would probably just use something less noticeable like a fake rock. Great video as always!
Whats the point of this!? Now everyone will know were to look!
Did you watch the end of the video?
Chris Hoos Well yeah, people will now look for pipes around homes
He only has 2.5 million subscribers and im pretty shure almost none of them are robbers.
Chris Hoos I don't think they would tell you if they were ;)
Chris Hoos you're pretty sure that of his 2.5 million subs none of them are robbers....
Hi you may not even read this but I would like to thanks you. Times were slow since people realized to hide their belongings better. After watching your videos not only have my eyes been trained to search for subtleties but I the quality of my loot from house adventures gave dramatically improved. Just know good sir you have truly helped a guy out.
It's probably a good idea to pick a wall of the house that has plumbing on the other side (inside) anyway... just in case someone who knows the inside of your house gets curious as to why it would be in that location. I mean, if they know that on the other side of that wall there is nothing there, then they'll know that the pipe shouldn't be there.
I suppose I'm just paranoid, though.
I'd never thought I would see a HouseholdHacker video without a 30second ad thrown into the video itself. Bravo HH, very impressive.
I would put a cap on the bottom of the pipe too to avoid anything getting in (animals, bugs, water)
Usually a brick thrown hard at a window works too... Or you can do the National Treasure way and hide a key behind a brick wall.
put some clear brown paint near the wall to make it look like water damage.
Clear brown paint? I'm not being facetious, but what color is clear brown paint?
Nicole Nunya
They probably mean watered down brown paint - translucent
Thanks, now every time I loose the keys to any of my many "houses" I know where to look! Thanks I appreciate it. You saved me quite a hassle.
0:33 you don't pronounce the s in debris.
troll?
+DesidiaTV I'm not sure...
I thought everyone was supposed to pronounce that way.
De-brees
Nope, sounds too weird.
It's pronounced di-bree, not sure what you grew up with.
At first I thought he might've been pluralizing debris but then realized he probably just as easily mispronounced it with the silent S.
Likewise, it's "voila," not "waa-la."
If legal in your state/city purchase a basic lock pick set. Most home deadbolt locks can be picked in a manner of minutes. There are sets that are in a credit card form (or just as small) so can be kept in purse/wallet. I purchased a basic set, watched a few u-tube vids on how to pick a lock and picked my front door lock in 20 seconds. I keep a tensioner and city pick in the glove box in my car ( and a few other places) in case I need to get into my home or you can put these in this pipe set up (or other key hide away) so, if found, they don't have your key and may not know what those little things are. Just something to consider. Non Sibi, Sed Pariae.
what if it looks so realistic, you forget it's there?!
Lol
Nice hack. Now be looking out for this.
Hey household hacker ur an awesome youtuber
Arjun, you are and awesome person!
HouseholdHacker And you're awesome for replying to a random fan!
Master0fHyrule And you are awesome for replying to my reply about replying to a random fan. (This is getting confusing)
HouseholdHacker Comment Inception? Only if you reply back, because you're awesome!;)
You are and awesome? okay.
For the people like me with snow issues use 1 or 2 screws if your comfortable doing so, even repeating the steps on the front concrete or wooden porch floor, or even inside the garage if it opens automatically. Nobody said had to be in the fully out side. Even put a spare key in your wallet if your problem losing keys is a issue. my 2 cents anyways cool idea.
Some idiot did this shit next to my house. When he went to work i went to his pipe, took the key and robbed him.
I am now 1 gaming PC and a 60 inch 3d smart tv richer.
Congratulations, your ip has been forwarded to the your local police department :)
I hope you're joking.
TheXM25 Congratulations, you cant even find my IP if you wanted to.
I just hacked u and ur ip is 192.168.0.1
Blender Addict Yes that is correct
An alternative to the sticky substance on the cap of the first hack is a tube or small cup that sits flush on top of the pipe. Just unscrew the cap and pick up your key.
how the hell do you lock yourself out of your house? youre using a key in the first place to lock it when you leave..
Sometimes you lose your keys.
Or I use an electric garage, and get screwed when the power goes out...
OR SOMEONE STEALS IT.
HouseholdHacker I've never lost my keys. Ever...
RegalKane This is what has happened to me before. I leave out the garage without my keys (going with a friend or something instead of driving myself), and when I come back home, my garage code just doesn't work no matter how many times I try it. So I'm fucked unless/until someone is home.
Dont need this because i watched an old video from yall and i have a universal key... thanks furious!
What if your neighbor sees you doing this? How do you hide the body?
This also works well with chain link fence caps. That's where I hide one key (part of a 3 step key hunt) for my place.
stickey tack? imma hot glue that shit
Dads been doing this for years and so have i,.. Thanks for telling the world
I only have gay PVC pipes, no straight ones. Do they still work? I can't hide them well because they are very flamboyant.
Just jazz the rest of your house up with some rock in' bent gear. As the old saying goes; don't straitened the gays, gay the straights. :)
Angela Hsiao Thanks. It worked great. They are fabulous and gay as ever still, and still rocking that hidden key ;) thanks again!
I miss the old days on UA-cam so much 😅 household hacker never forgotten
Have a beautiful... Uhm day?
haha! ikr there are very few people up at this time of night! just the insomniacs
Lyta Carter Ello. User from the US reporting. Its 1 AM here.
Haha, USA RULES!
Lyta Carter ahem... time zones.... Yours is not the only country..... The more you know ;-)
Word of advice: String and/or yarn disintegrate with time. Since this is something that'll be around your house for a long while, I'd go with something that doesn't fall apart with age and moisture. Fishing line is perfect for this kind of thing. Go to a sporting goods store and get a reel of fishing line. I find 40-50 lb lines are very good all-purpose for things like tying, hanging, etc. After many times having string break on me, I started using this stuff and never looked back. (Plus it's transparent, so it doesn't stand out as much as white string or colored yarn.)
WAYYYYYY too much work. Buy a fake rock!
or just use a real rock for free lmao
Ian Molinet-Eligon ikr, those ones look so much more realistic
speaking as a burglar i came to this channel hoping to find new ways to hack people's houses - and this was exactly what i needed
thanks guys - cya soon
....How about making a plaster parish rock, use a spare key, seal it inside, and just lay the rock either with other like rocks or on its own in the garden or on the porch etc. Just crack it open when needed. You could also make a small plaster-Paris pebble, (same procedures as the rock) lay it in the flower pot with other pebbles surrounding the plant inside the pot.
I haven't tried but I heard you can grab an empty container,glue it at the bottom of a pinecone,and dig a hole to cover up the container so only a pinecone is showing and your key (in the container of course) is safe
Man you're ideas are good you help everybody you earn a subscriber
In reply to Kaitlyn without having to be hidden among all those many many comments,
for your specific situation, I would make a hidden spot within one of your shoes that you wear everyday to class.
But I wouldn't recommend that for anyone who wears different shoes sometimes . . . instead, I would recommend you wear it on a necklace, concealed or out fashionable either way, and useful. Personally, I used to keep mine on a lanyard and had my lanyard attached to my purse . . . which worked well until one day when I forgot my purse in one of my classes . . .
Awesome! Now I need to move my key since you just gave away my hiding spot!
Great ! Now when intruders can't get into my house they're going to start ripping apart my exterior pipes to find keys. THANKS !
there are many ways to hide a key, my favorites are if you have a tiled walkway to the porch like i do, have a small cavity underneath one tile, and place a hide a key box underneath, unless someone decides to search under every tile, they're not likely to find it. another is those solar lamps people put on their walkways, many have tops that pop off to change the lightbulb. and have a nice room inside to hide a key, again, a sole lamp may be a target, but getting many will get people to not bat an eye. another one is if you can get a nice looking spiderweb, a good halloween shop would have one. even a glaring hide a key would be more safe if the would be robber would need to reach through a spiderweb to get it. it is especially effective with a decoy rock. that rock will not be touched.
Thanks for the hints im off for some easy pickings now
That Santoro Army bracelet though. :P
thanx..now im go around at night looking for that pipe on every house..
My little tweek is to create several pipes, one with the key, the rest with scorpions. Let the games begin
house robber here. thanks for the tip. now I have an easier chance if I hit up one of the couple mil subs you have.
*I made a 'key within a key' and labelled the key cover as "spare key", then chained it to the wall right next to the door.* I then epoxied a pull line to the key with an alarm light and flash "camera" that says "smile for the camera". It can only be turned off from inside. So far I have pictures of my kid's friends inspecting it curiously and never once did they figure to pull the real key out from inside the "key" shaped holder.
What if someone breaks in after you open the door and you are on your way back to the pipe?
That's more of a walk-in than a break-in....
Thank you for telling me where people hide their keys! LOL
Great video! BTW what happened to science Tuesday?
Hey HH I have an idea for a video if your interested, its for your phone you can make an IR blaster, then plug it into your headphone jack and download a remote app, then program it to your TV. I hope you do a video on it :) please consider
Now, if I am trying to get in, I should look for such a feature. There have been dozens of similar hidden key setups
lol. Today i saw a pipe at my neighbours house, wich wasn't there before. Looks like he watches your videos :D
Wow I haven't seen sticky tack in years
Wouldn't have expected sugru either though
Very good hiding place
or you could look if your house got a metal pipe sticking out that was used for filling up heating oil back ye oldie day's. and if your house still runs on oil then look for a vent that vents the tank.
Well played with the Santoro Army wristband!
What ever happened to decoy rocks? They're like $.99 on Amazon and way less over thought out than this plan. Or maybe take some of that sticky tack and place it on a key then put the key under a chair or a deck?
One of your better and useful ideas!
Nice to see you guys make more videos again. C:
Mr Burglar thank you for this information
I always thought it was funny how people will sometimes put an extra key under their car. What is even more astonishing is that it isn't hard to find since people tend to put them in the same place, at the very least I would put it in a more obscure place under my car so someone doesn't just have to feel under the outside area of it.
Well now I know where to look when I'm robbing houses, thanks. :D
Reminds me of old BFX videos from Indy mogul
I haven't locked my doors in 10 years, even leave the front gate open. Rural parts of Australia are pretty calm.
What are good ways to disguise this
That sneaky Matthew santoro band at the start
Nice Matthew Santoro band :D
Is that one of these ultra-light keys?
Well good going. Giving crooks more places to look. Some secrets should just stay a secret.
Is it a bad thing i forgot where put the key when i set it up?
But when people see caps, or kids see them.. wouldn't they wanna turn it open? It's a little obvious/odd from what I think. I would rather hide it under the plant 1:45
Just put the key (and maybe other stuff you want to keep) in a water tight box, take something to dig with maybe a big spoon and bury it in the ground far enough from your house, so that even if it is found nobody will have any idea what it is for. Make sure nobody not even a camera can see what you are doing. Put a mark/stone over it and take a picture of the place and of the area and save it to PC and email to yourself with a name that only you will know what is there. Remember, it might be many years before you touch this key again!
Now every thief will look for a suspicious black pipe around the house to find the key. Last thing i want is my house to get robbed lol
thanks...looks good, i got locked out this week and had to wait 1h for someone...man that suck'd
Not that it really matters, but the pipe and fittings in the video is NOT PVC. It's actually ABS. The idea isn't all that bad, but it's hard to keep a piece of pipe like that "attached" to a house using just some sort of putty adhesive. That's especially true if it's being put onto wood or composite siding, not to mention those materials usually won't have a true vertical surface.
Thank you, now I know where I should search for keys when robbing
I just got locked out today after school thank you this gave me an idea
your projects rock
that is an amazing idea, Im looking forward to do that
I dont think this will survive the kind of winter we get here lol.
I live in an apartment well a duplex so this is not an option but you did give me an idea. false bottom in a mail box.
cheers now i know what to look for before breaking the windows to get into someones house.
thats actually rlly cool
This would make a great sneaky geocache ;)
I'm glad my house has an automatic lock that doesn't require a key, but a long code to unlock from the outside
Thx. I'll make sure to start checking suspicious pipes now.
Awesome. Gotta try this...
Can you show us other cool hiding spots please?
really well edited video! +1
I used the decoy to hide a decoy key that opens a decoy box that i buried in my yard which contains the house key
so even if someone finds that decoy key from the PVC pipe, they won't be able to open the house with it
because the actual house key is buried in a key box
that's the smarter way to make sure you are safe and secure
Can't wait 😊 for a good day
The amount of puns in this video....
i have a qusestion insted of aicky tac can i use hot glue
Great, now I know how to rob Household Hacker's household!
I like that Santoro Army bracelet
yeah....I noticed
Oooooh I'm going to build a septic tank that I can walk into to retrieve my hidden key! Or, or, or an out house with a toilet and a f 5 ft hole in the ground, throw some real shit in it so people won't suspect that it's my key hiding place😂
I just go through the window that is always unlocked or go through the doggy door, this is all in the back yard. This is a grate solution tho!! 😄😋😊🙂
+Marcy Moo!!!! It is a great solution. If you had a grate, you could remove it and go in that way though.LOL
But...
Will it blend?
