Well, it worked! It wouldn't turn after 1/4" bit through the middle so I up-sized the bits and drilled right through, taking out the end screw.

Guess what was sitting just inside the door? Yep, the keys. Backbox opened and away I went.

Thanks again.

... PM to Sparky!!!

... no PM received, but I put the videos aside for a while due to some disgruntled ex-member called hayabusafmw that asked me to cancel his account for he would never come back, is not trash-talking me in all my videos on Youtube. So the time I spent making the videos is now used to police him not only here (because he is STILL trying to access the site and register under another name to stir up more garbage) but on youtube.

Unless I'm missing something, I only saw one comment on one video from him - and it wasn't derogatory - it just didn't make sense, like usual.


Regarding the lock  -  3 seconds with a decent drill and bit...

Sorry guys but there is no general answer to this question.

You need to know what type of lock your attacking first so you can plan the best method of attack. Generalizing in many cases is going to create more work if you use the wrong method.

Hopefully you hit on the 99.9% garbage locks that operators install and can use brute force and ignorance to get into it. Most are readily picked with the right knowledge and equipment. Many can simply have a key made from the code if there of decent quality and not even wrecked. If you happen to come across anything better than the generic single bit wafer lock then your going to be in for a challenge using the "just drill out the centre" method. In fact attacking it the wrong way will make far more work and will prohibit any hopes of picking it.

Sparky mess locks are made of soft medal. Real locks are made of hardened steel or have hardened steel inserts strategically placed to bind and snap your drill.
