Lock Picking Course Station 5 - Schlage Pin Tumbler Deadbolt (1)

  • Didn't I do this one already?: Sort of. The Schlage is also a pin tumbler deadbolt, like the Kwikset. But, Schlage locks tend to be built to higher tolerances.
  • Scrubbing?: Try it. Did it work? It may not have. Since Schlage does a better job at machining tolerances, this lock tends to be more difficult to scrub.
  • Inspection: Make sure you get a good pin count and use your hook/diamond shaped pick to find each pin. Push each individual pin up to feel the force required.
