Anyone know the name of this thing?

[kevlarsoul]

I know this is a pretty common locking device, but it just occurred to me that I don't actually know the name for this. Is it just a deadbolt or is it something like a sliding shackebolt lever-lock? Additionally, is there any known way of bypassing, or "picking" it without damaging it? (before you ask, this one in particular is mine, on my deck)

bah, sorry, that pic was for a different thread I was gonna make...

We don't discuss high security locks in the open forums.

yes there are several ways to open that lock from the outside... cutting a hole throught the shartty screen door is at the top of that list followed in close second by a size 13 boot, and then the NDE manner <CENSORED>


yeah it should be pretty obvious how to do it but until a mod blessing is given we don't talk about that here

[kevlarsoul]

ok, so I suppose I deserved that. I was thinking in more general terms, not just opening this particular one (of course cut the screen, I've had to do that plenty), but moreso "in the wild." however, I do respect and understand the fact that just giving away that kinda info on an open forum is a no-no.

[UWSDWF]

considering this is a hobby site and you shouldn't be opening wild ones and how they have to lock (from the inside) is precisely why we don't talk about it... sorry

[kevlarsoul]

ok, solid point, and we can just disregard that part of the question. I really just want to know the name of it.

[UWSDWF]

slide bolt or slide latch... depends....

[kevlarsoul]

hey thanks! and sorry for all the confusion, I should know better than to ask how to open something that doesn't belong to me
