Slide a sacrificial tension wrench into the keyway. Don’t turn it. Just tap twice. This triggers the magnetic clutch to reset. On a standard pick, this would jam the lock. On removal, it frees the outer sleeve.

The asset walked through Door D2403 at 0303 hours. The lock was in my hand, still warm, its anti-tamper pins lying in fragments on the floor. The guard never looked up from his phone.

This is the part that isn’t in the manuals. Using a hardened steel knocker (a blunt punch), you deliver a single, sharp impact to the face of the lock, 3mm above the keyway. The D2403’s anti-removal pins are spring-loaded. The shock stuns them just long enough—150 milliseconds—to let the outer housing spin free.
