Thanks so much for this video. Had a deadbolt on a playhouse for my children which we haven’t been able to get into for close to 4yrs because we never had a key. After hours of trying other KZfaq methods of picking the lock I finally looked for a drill method. I’m glad to report that the playhouse is finally open after following your instructions!!!!!! Thanks so much 💪🏾💯‼️‼️‼️

@timmedlock3324 4 жыл бұрын

Use a 1/4’’ drill bit. It fits perfect into those screw mounts. And on some of the deadbolts there is a plate that covers the bolt holes. When you start drilling the first hole that plate will pop off revealing both bolt holes. Pretty easy after that.

I also am an apt. Maintenance man and I've had to do this 3 times but the drill buts are never hard enough to drill out the ends of the screws so I have to beat them loose with a punch h and a hammer. Even then they don't let go so I have to reach in with needle nose pliers to break out the slide and move it out the way to pull the bolt back. The only slack I get is when the bezel comes loose.

Use a small flat head and pop the front cover off, then you can see the screw holes, use a smaller size drill bit and it’ll catch on the screws and basically unscrew them. I’ve done it many times, I can open a deadbolt in 10 seconds.

@gchromesucks7991 4 жыл бұрын

Lol I was gonna post the same comment. I was trying to show a new hire some videos on how we drill out locks and I was amazed that almost no one knew to pop the faceplate off and expose the open back end of the threaded mounting screws. Then simply use a bit thats slightly smaller than the hole so you don't strip the threads. Drilling in on the keyhole side means that you are drilling out the screws on the knob side. Apply forward pressure going at the screw slowly until you feel it moving. if there's a wood floor on the other side you can hear the screws drop. This method if by far the easiest and allows you to rekey and reuse the lock if you have the cylinder cradle.
