difficult pin settings

Postby devnill » 12 Nov 2005 18:14

I just purchased a new deadbolt to practice on, and it turns out, its a bit too easy for me to pick. What are difficult pin combinations to practice on?

I have a 5 pin kwickset 'security' deadbolt (im new to this stuff :oops: )

Just put your longest pins next to your shortest pins, preferably with the longest pin toward the front of the keyway. Other than that, you might try and get ahold of some security pins. That would make for a bit of a challenge if you're not accustomed to them.

If you can't find security pins, PM me and I'll send you a link.
