I have my salomon sth 14s set at 12 din and i can twist them open with my leg muscles and i fucking hate eating shit on switch landing because of ejecting. I thought about just cranking them all the way up, like until the spring cant move anymore or smth. By the way they are 2 years old could the spring be worn?

this 100%. Welcome to the world of salomon bindings. Even once you get your forward pressure set, you're always going to have to make sure your toe height is good. that may mean checking it every time you ride.

I have adjusted them exacty like the shop tech showed me when i got them mounted this year and i have used the instructions in the salomon tech manual. What i want to know is it normal that you can turn them open by turning your foot at 12 din? I have to do it pretty hard though. If i land perfectly then they wont open but landing a 540 with even a bit too much weight on one ski and i eject. I will now try them with 14 din and if they eject then i get new bindings. Also i think the toe piece construction is pretty weird because it allows the boot to slide out pretty easily because it only grips the sides of the boot wich are round and not the tip of the boot pointing out in the front.

Check that your wings are adjusted properly too.

Or just crank them up and wonder why you get hurt.

As everyone said before, you should be "crankin tha dins." As a matter of fact you id bet a thousand bucks you shouldnt be riding anywhere near 12. Take skis to shop, tell them whats happening.

Yes, you should be able to twist out of the toe when standing on flat snow (with quite a lot of effort you should just be able to do it). This is the oldschool test for release settings.
