Interchangeable core would not pick, decided to drill control shear and replace cores. It drilled quick and turned easily to control BUT would NOT fucking pull out. I eventually got the door open, removed the deadbolt and had to drill a small hole on the back and use a punch to knock the core out. It was so corroded up in there it was like super glue. New core slid right in and I reinstalled the deadbolt. The bottom threshold lock was not locked and hadn't been used in years. I suspect either a very long Allen wrench would be needed or pulling the door to get to it. After the property manager witnessed the issue with the deadbolt, she said disable that bottom lock, it looks like a nightmare. The inside and outside keyway on the bottom lock were filled and effectively rendered useless.
