How to pick a deadbolt lock

The first step in picking a deadbolt lock is to insert a tension wrench into the keyway, and apply pressure to the wrench. Next, insert a pick into the keyway and feel for the pins. When you feel a pin, use the tension wrench to apply pressure to the pin, and push it up until it feels like it’s going to give. Repeat this process for all of the pins, and then turn the tension wrench to open the lock.

Why you need a deadbolt lock

A deadbolt lock is an important part of any home security system, because it makes it very difficult for someone to pick the lock and gain entry to your home. If you don’t have a deadbolt lock, we highly recommend that you install one as soon as possible.
