Weiser

The standard cylinder made by Weiser is a pin-tumbler lock.

Principles of operation

 * See also: Pin-Tumbler (Principles of operation)

The standard Weiser cylinder is a traditional pin-tumbler that uses five pin stacks. To open the lock, all pin stacks must be aligned at the shear line to allow the plug to rotate. There are ten key pin heights and eleven key cut depths with the use of master pins.

Disassembly instructions
The standard cylinder can be disassembled with the typical pin-tumbler disassembly method. The design of the

pin-chamber casing facilitates quick disassembly and full rekeying.

Removing cylinders from Weiser knobs

 * 1) Pull back on the spindle while rotating the cylinder plug.
 * 2) Pull the cylinder from the front of the knob.

Vulnerabilities
