Core pulling, also known as cylinder pulling, is the most popular burglary method at the moment. Burglars turn a special screw into the lock and simply pull it out of the lock with the cylinder and all. With this method, burglars with an average lock gain access to your home in less than 3 minutes.
Core drawing and cylinder drawing
If you are locked out, core pulling is also a commonly used method for locksmiths to gain access to a property. Unlike a burglar, the locksmith will aim to gain access to the property with as little damage as possible. When a locksmith starts core pulling, he or she will place a steel plate over the cylinder of the lock. Subsequently, a screw is placed in the core of the cylinder. The plate distributes the pressure over the cylinder and protects the weakest point. The core is then removed from the lock without damage. Of course, a burglar will not work in such a controlled manner and the lock will be damaged without more. With cylinder pulling, a burglar will gain access to the cylinder within half a minute. We don't need to explain why this method is so popular. A burglar can use a claw hammer or crowbar to pull the plate of the fitting forward. The cylinder lock is now exposed and offers plenty of space to insert a screw into the cylinder with a screw drill. Now it will be enough to pull the cylinder out of the lock with the screw.
