Because i guess he did not get the right answer before
so he's asking again same question
ohcanada unlisted is right don't ask same question over and over again
hope this helps.

Well, if the first suggestion did not work he/she should of posted a response, not a new thread.

Know what would be really funny? If he posted another thread because he didn't get the right answer here.

Maybe you didn't turn it all the way. Keep turning it and it might just turn. Typically the bolt requires a little more force.

maybe it's frozen....happens a lot in Canada!

[ohcanada]

sorry for the double,, i`m new to posting...(long time listener first time caller)
thanks for the info, but the problem remains, when i use the key for this lock, the maximum position with deadbolt moved is .....9 o'clock position... wont go any further,, same position i end up at with pick, only the deadbolt dosent move

the brand of the lock is ...DEFIANT...

[rx6006]

Defiant...aptly named.

Post a picture of the tail piece and the back of the lock itself.

Defiant is a kwikset knockoff, I find these mostly in subdivisions. Is there any chance it is construction keyed? There could be a wafer or a ball stuck, also I have seen "C" clips fall off of the back of these. That could cause problems.

[ohcanada]

Well , thanks for the info, having this info, i will adjust and most likely dream up a way to overcome what may be happening regarding the pins dropping etc THANKS AGAIN

SEASONS GREETINGS TO ONE AND ALL

More than likely the bolt itself is stuck. Make sure there is no opening or closing pressure on the bolt and keep trying the key. Make sure the door is not sagging at the hinges and applying pressure on the bottom of the bolt. Also try applying turning pressure and bump the door with a deadblow hammer.

Any spray lube through the keyhole will flow into the plug retaining cap and lube the floating tailpiece also.

There is no common reason why the plug would stop at 90 degrees by itself.

[ohcanada]

Well,..... why does it work with the key , the bolt moves from closed position to open position no problem, it is a working lock,...... the challenge is when i pick it, only the cylinder turns... the deadbolt dont move,

thanks anyway ttfn

[npdaniels]

Now that you provided more information:

Try picking it in the opposite direction, if the tension wrench does not give enough turning pressure use a small flat screwdriver in its place once it’s picked.

The tip of the key could be required to complete the connection with the tailpiece. This is quite common on some Weiser knobs as the key pushes in a connection. The cylinder will turn and nothing will happen.

To answer this question completely, you will need to remove the deadbolt and look at the back while using the key.

We are getting curious now.
