Deadbolt bypass

[kodierer]

I haven't tried this yet, but I am certain I can make it work. I am going to make a thin wire tool, with a hook on it designed to either through the door jam, or under the door its self, and hook on to the turn piece for the deadbolts that use the turnable levers rather than double clyinders. Then I should be able to turn it, and retract the bolt with absolutely no picking.
If there is already a tool for this please let me know.

Should work. Similar ideas:

-- Lockmaster has a U-shaped tool meant to work the thumbturn on double aluminum doors

-- There's a tool (can't remember by who) that's meant to pull down on a lever handle from underneath; simpler but a similar notion.

-- This book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0966608712/qid=1135747274/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl14/102-6088435-6947357?n=507846&s=books&v=glance talks a good bit about creating tools for using thumbturns, rotating knobs, turning keys, and the like. I'd recommend picking it up if you're going to start tinkering with this.

-- Auto lockout tools can often be adapted for this sort of thing.

there's a tool called the " door genie " for lever handles

Of course the UK guys have their letterbox tools as well. Actually, I wonder if you couldn't modify one to work from underneath the door.

I think Multipick sells one of these..

but should bypass be in the public forum???

They seem to discuss it in the Euro forum. This is just generalities anyway.

I think vector is right, just generalities right now but I am keeping an eye on this .

Multipick's appears to be a rigid wire with a string attached, both of which go under the door. Looks like the wire leans against the handle and you pull the string so it slides down and opens handle. It's not terribly clear from the illustration, but I'm sure if you played with one for a few minutes you could get the technique down.

That's the one I've got. Keedex makes it. Pretty straightforward tool.
