schlage doorknob

Postby poor paperclip picker » 18 Sep 2007 13:32

i have a door knob that i have re keyed and re pinned. i did this so i could just practice picking and to change the lock on my bedroom door. Anyways I was just wondering on a skill level wise basis how hard are these to pick. it is a 6 pin lock but the pin in the back is gone so only a 5 pin. the key way has a little obstruction in it, nothing non normal, just the way that the key way is. I will put up a picture to show what i am trying to describe.

but anyway i just want to know how hard these schlages are to pick, i have heard they are kind of tough, but i would like so more opinions

thanks

Using your scale of 1 to 10 I'd say a 1 would be like a #3 master, 10 would be like a medeco. Schlage would fall around a 3 or 4. They can be difficult at times, KIK locks are harder yet than deadbolds IMO.
