Brinks (Series 2019-130) Deadbolt

I've had no problems popping open kwikset/defiant deadbolts along with several different master and mountain security padlocks but today I picked up this bad boy at Walmart ($8.99) and I'm having no luck at all with it. Just wondering if anyone has any advice for me or experience with these deadbolts.

We put Defiant Deadbolts on our house, removing all the old kwiksets. I've picked both. I learned on the kwikset's using db's guide (picking 1-5 pins at a time progressively). I don't believe the Defiant had any security pins in it, but I could go check. The Kwiksets I had DEFINATELY did not have any security pins, which I know because I ripped them apart.

As for picking, it should be the same as the master unless it has security pins. I've never heard of Mountain padlocks. I had some trouble picking it (Defiant) my first time, but I attribute that to the fact that it was the first door mounted lock that I picked. Everything prior had been either a padlock or something in wood sitting in my lap.

Good luck,
Brooks

I ended up just taking the thing apart and it turns out that it actually had a spool in it. I took it out and just left in the four standard pins and opening it is a breeze now.

I am pretty sure the defiant dead bolts have a spool in them. I tore mine open and sure enough there it was.
