Weiser Knob. "Push In and Turn" locking type. Easy

[Truck]

I know, I know. Many people have picks the Weiser deadbolts and get them open just by looking at them.

Well, not so easy with the door knob with the "push-in and turn" locking type. Here's why:

Forget to pick first. Because with the correct and ORIGINAL keys to open the knob, sometimes the knob cannot be open. The back knob won't POP open. I need to give a little push and a great amount of torque to get the door knob open. Is this a high security lock? Not at all. (Note: I did use Tri-Flow to lube the lock twice and the lock is brand new.)

Now, trying to pick is a bit difficult for the following reasons:

A. I cannot apply to much torque because it will blind the pins in the first place.

B. Even IF the pins are all set to the shear line, the tiny tension wrench flex too much to give enough torque to "pop" the rear knob open.

C. Sometimes I do not know whether the pins are set or not because, in order to open the lock, I require a little "push-in" plus a great amount of torque; thus, this has already interfered with reason A.

You think is easy to pick Weiser? Get one of those and Think again.

PS. You may NOT know what I am talking about, if you have NOT examine this type of Weiser lock.

I will answer your questions by reply it here and will not run away.

If it doesn't work every time with the key, it is rather safe to say that you got a bum lock.

You might be missing the point here.

If you get the plug to turn, you have picked the lock. If the plug needs more torque to operate the mechanism than your wrench will allow ( don't kill your torque wrench ) use a screwdriver in the keyway to finish the turning of the plug.

Don't be dumb and jamb the screwdriver into the plug. All you need it for is to apply the turning force a key would generate, without the key.
