Deadbolt Through the Lock Forcible Entry: Ice Pick Attack

An ice pick attack is my plan A on deadbolts, if I am trying to enter respectfully. However, it only works on low grade (cheap) deadbolts. High grade deadbolts have guards built into them to prevent ice pick attacks.
In my experience, high grade deadbolts can be tough to enter through respectfully. I find we end up doing just as much damage as if we did conventional forcible entry… hence that’s my plan B.
I have also seen a Schlage deadbolt that did not the mechanism on its topside to do an ice pick attack. In this case I would try to pull the lock cylinder as far away from the door as possible, and cut the two screws using mini bolt cutters… and then attack the latch hub.

Thanks for a less destructive option for deadbolts! I recently learned how to do conventional forcible entry during an introduction to fire fighting course. It’s very damaging to the door and potentially the surrounding area. This, as long as it’s not an expensive bolt, would be much less invasive.

I also look at the type of call I’m responding to when deciding between conventional forcible entry and through the lock forcible entry. If the building is on fire, I’m not too concerned about the damage I do while forcing entry, because the fire is doing more damage… but if I’m responding to medical or alarms check call, then I would choose a through the lock method that doesn’t cause as much damage… the home/building owners appreciate it!
