Salway is explaining how a lock might be unlocked either properly or how it could be manipulated (pin meets sheer line). #Garland #yyc

Valerie Fortney ‏@ValFortney 23s23 seconds ago
"Destructive method" means "something" done to a lock, like hitting with a hammer, drilling a hole, leave marks that are obvious. #Garland

Bill GravelandVerified account ‏@BillGraveland 23s23 seconds ago
He says a destructive bypass would be hitting it with a hammer - drilling a hole in the cylinder - anything that would leave marks. #Garland

Lucie Edwardson ‏@MetroLucie 14s14 seconds ago
He's now explaining destructive methods on a lock. Uses example of a hammer, but says other ways would allow lock to still work. #Garland

Valerie Fortney ‏@ValFortney now48 seconds ago
picking is less of a destructive method, says Salway. #Garland

We have those same locks on all our doors. It kinda sucks knowing that the lock can be bypassed by drilling two holes as shown. I don't know if other locks are as easy to bypass.

Salway on first smaller hole: "a little strange" to see it be used as a bypass method. #Garland

Lucie Edwardson ‏@MetroLucie 1m1 minute ago
Says the first (top) hole, surprising. Had never seen a method like that. "No locksmith would drill there..damages too many parts." #Garland

Valerie Fortney ‏@ValFortney 1m1 minute ago
But it's an effective way to manipulate the pins inside the lock, says Salway. #Garland

Lucie Edwardson ‏@MetroLucie 56s56 seconds ago
Salway says the hole always the person to touch the pins in the tower "now i can manipulate the pins to the highest level" #Garland

People want security but don't want to pay a high price to ward against cylinder drilling because it's so rare, says Salway. #Garland

A high speed drill bit, hand held battery operated drill, could have made the holes, agrees Salway. #Garland

In the crown's opening statement prosecution alleged #Garland researched Schlage BE365 (like Liknes home) just days before they disappeared

Not sure if the info that DG allegedly researched that lock only days before the murders was noted in earlier tweets. Did he go by the house another night a few days earlier to get the type of lock and model number to do his research?

Had he ever been to the house before when there was the patent talk? We may never know.

I'm beginning to think that he did a lot of reconnaissance before he made his final move. Give me the creeps in a very big way.

I'm thinking even if he had been there before as a visitor, how on earth would he know what make and model of lock they had on the door. Pretty sure I can't name one from any home I've ever been to, even quite frequently. Come to think of it, I have no idea what the model number of the one on my own door is. :waitasec:

Would it be stating the obvious that this lock has the purple disclosing product on it showing that there is evidence of blood on this exterior lock?
