Door knob disassembly

Postby crash220 » 16 Feb 2007 6:39

Did a search, found nothing.


I have tried the tank, patriot missile, chain saw ect,,, BUT the dang door knob still exists.
^^^^^^^^^^^^Bad stab at humor, I know. ^^^^^^^^^

I am getting started in lock picking as a hobby, per a previous post I have some spare time coming up. I have found a couple of old exterior locksets, Should I try to remove the assembly from the knob, which doesn't really look possible, or play with it as a unit. How would I remove the cyl to get to pins.

There are no markings on the lock set, Says it is made in Taiwan, Key is marked "E-Z-Set" reverse of key has "B52542" which I am guessing is the pin set in the lock. There is a hole on the neck of the exterior knob that would appear to be some sort on pin, (knob needs to turn to access pin) but it doesn't push. I haven't tried to tap it out, this lock is junk to me,,, but I don't want to destroy it, I want to use it as a practice lock.

Thanks,
Tom

If you look for dissasembleing key in knob locks or simular things you should find loads of info on them,

Threre is useually a pin on the sade of the knob that needs to be depressed so the knob comes off then you should be able to work from there,

Sorry i cant help much more but i havent read one of the guides for a while and ive never had to do it,

It's possible that the key needs to be turned to allow the depressing of the detent. Also, make sure and look closely as there may be two access holes and only one may be true.

But, an EZ Set is Kwiksets retarded little brother so you should have no problem picking it, especially having the bitting for the key. Leave it on the door and it will likely be easier to pick. Those locks are so sloppy you could just about stick your willy in there and do a little dance to open it.

Heh, that gave me a good chuckle. Surprisingly though, a hooked willie has been said to be for more successful than the renowned balled willie.

(Sorry, I just had to..)
