Can a pick lock gun, open dead bolt doors?

[sushisushisush]

I recently did a research paper, why thievery occurs in the United States. When i was doing my research i realized anyone can break into a house or building! Regardless if your a pro in lock smithing, there is a product called a pick lock gun.

My question is can pick lock gun open dead bolt doors? can it open all doors? If not, does that mean if you have a dead bolt doors can never be opened? PLease explain.

What is the purpose of the pick gun, why is it used, how can you stop it, are there ways to find out if you your front door has ever been picked open or attempted to???

did you meen to post this twice?

yes they can open deadbolt doors if it has a pin tumbler lock on it...

you can prevent it in many ways, usually the same ways you prevent bumping...

there are ways to tell if you have peen picked but most involve a microscope that if verry expencive.

hope this answers this...

Thank you for your help, generally how much does it cost for the inspection is you have been picked?

Also, so then i should assume a manual/automatic pick gun works on all doors right?

i am not sure, I know the police have specialists that do this sot of thing when it is suspected and is a high enough profile person that has been robbed

usually it envolves cutting the lock in half to see the inside of the cylinder and then there are magnifying the pins which takes an expencive microscope, then they can test for particles that are forign to the lock.

cutting it open obviously destioys it so you deffinatly need a new lock, magnifying everything is expencive because... well it just is and so is the particle test thing, sorry my terms are not very sophisticated... agin that lockpicking forensics website will tell you alot more

and yes the pick gun will work on any door that is a pin tumbler.

Lol i might just invest in an alarm system =)

But this is important knowledge thanks for you I am learning tons,

So then are all doors pin tumblers, are house doors/ bulildings tumblers, are there diffferent types of door locks. are there other things used besides pin tumblers, if so what are they, who uses it, and can that lock get picked?

I suppose the best place to see and understand all of this would actually be lockpicking manuals.

google MIT guide and LSI guide and you can read all about the different types of locks and how they can be picked,

there is more info on them here in these forums but that should give you the jist of each of the main types.

theoretically any lock can be picked, physically there are some that have not been picked consistantly. If you want a good lock go with the ABLOY protce series, as far as I know they have not been picked consistantly, the only pickings of these have been luck and alot of time.

most doors in use today are pin tumblers, most cabnets are wafer tumblers. padlocks are any type of lock you can imagine. but continue to read and learn... google helps alot

Mul-T-Lock and Bilock are pin tumbler locks that a conventional pick gun wont work on!

Oh yeah, then there are, Kaba Gemini, Binary Plus, Tubular, some other pin tumblers that a conventional pick gun wont work on.

[LocksmithArmy]

Well You are right. I assumed he was talking about the standard locks that anyone sees everyday. not the locks with demple keys or tubular locks or anything fancy. that gets closer to high security and I wasnt going to go there.

but you obviously wouldnt use a pick gun in a tubular lock as it wont fit too well.

thanks for the correction man
