Weiser door lock dissasembly

[Bahrg]

I have a weiser door lock the kind that u push and turn to lock. Im wondering how to dissasemble this... without ruining it lol. I searched for a few days now and I cant find the info I need. The sad part about this is that many years ago I use to be able to do it, and recall it being fairly easy but for the life of me I cant remember.

I must get inside this lock im sure it has security pins, but until I can see what kind I just am not positive.

I don't know the details, but it's not supposed to be fun. Weiser may have details on their site.

Ok heres some pics hope the size works out






Ty for any info

pull on the post (the post is the part that goes in to the inside knob that you turn to lock and unlock) turn the key and the plug will come out.

Ive lost the key to this lock, but I can successfully pick it. Ive tried pulling on the post with the lock picked but it doesnt seem to budge. Im starting to think the thing is just hooped It is pretty old and well used.

Ok... Update. I finally managed to disassemble the lock using the method stevelock posted The problem I was having keeping me from getting it apart was I didnt turn the plug far enuf it has to be about 200 degrees, I had previously assumed it was 180 So much for assumptions.

Anywho I found out it doesnt have security pins, but one of the pins had been inserted upside down lol. That explains the hard inserting of the key back when I still used this lock. It also explains why it didnt pick like a normal lock. Im not sure tho that it should have made it more difficult. *shrug* im new at this.

Thanks for the info Steve keep on pickin

One of the methods I use for taking these locks apart is a little more involved, though basically what steve said. I'll post it here just in case....

The spindle is a two part affair with a center shaft and outer shaft that interacts with the latch workings.

When out in the field I always remove the outer half of the lock for inspection, though it's not necessary if you shim pick these.

Step One:

Push the outer portion towards the front of the lock.

Step Two: Use a smooth jawed vise-grip, clamp on the inner spindle tight against the outer portion. Once clamped, pull the vise grip out, this will remove opposing spring tension from the cylinder.

You can now pick the cylinder CCW between 30-90 degrees.

Step Three: release the vise grip. The face of the lock should pop out. If it does not, tap the center spindle on the end, and keep turning the plug back and forth a bit until it does come out.

If you have the key, then perform step two with your left hand, turning the key CCW with your right. When in position, simply release the post/spindle. Press on it if necessary to pop the face off the lock.

The plug is retained with a snap ring, and a pair of good snap ring pliers will allow you to remove it, then rekey the lock as necessary.

I live in Europe (as you can see by my location) and yet i have those door knobs.

I never knew what kind of door knobs it were, and they were well...... alien to dutch hardware stores and the like.

Now, i wonder.. how would i be able to get my hands on some?
I'd love one on my bedroom door.

Lol yeah and if you dont have snapring pliers its a real pain in the *** to get the ring back on when it comes time to replace it. I finally ended up just pushing it back into place with my fingernails ouch.
