Question about Schlage

[5thcorps]

My first post to the forum although I've been browsing it for some time. Been Picking for about 2 years. Does anyone know what the 4 holes on the plug of a Schlage deadbolt are for? They are just about 1/4 of an inch away from the pin holes.

They are probably for construction balls,

If you look up construction locks you should find how these work,

[I Pik U]

They are the contruction ball holes. Other manufacturers have them as well. Their not used in most locks, unless their part of a new subdivision or school/office bldg etc.

Thanks for the info. My first schlage I ever picked I opened it up and found 4 spool pins and a regular in the 5th position. I picked it this way a few times then after put in a 5th spool pin to make it a little harder. But with time I was opening it within 20-30 seconds pretty consistently.
