Locksmith Job 261 How To Open A Broken Garage Lock

In this video, the garage has become jammed and unable to open because the parts on the back have snapped, so the first point is to open the garage door and the second is to repair the problem. If you need to buy parts for your garage locks see our website the link is below.

What a legend! This is why I love KZbin. Thank you so very much Doc Lock. Open in 1 min with a coat hanger

[@aaaheritagellc231]

This video totally did the job! In the video you unlocked the broken garage door in 30 seconds. For me it took 60 seconds, but OMG.. Thank you for sharing this great tip!

[@adriangeorge5450]

Cheers for this video, you saved my bacon today!

[@sumavishy08]

Very smart. This video was helpful in fixing my cut cables.

[@mayurpatel3997]

Nice job. I have just seen your video and open my lock garage.😊

[@tonymanero5544]

The cable snapped because it is being slowly cut by metal on metal contact with the rotating cable plate each time the lock is locked and unlocked. Like mc or ac cable, it needs a nylon liner to avoid metal on metal.

[@DrLockShop]

Yes, its often metal on metal that cuts the cable, its a bad design but thats the way its been done for many years, hopefully someone will make a better system in the future

@@DrLockShop I replaced mine with 2 lengths of cable. Looking from inside, one cable connects the left latch to the bottom of the handle & the other cable connects right latch to the top of the handle. A clockwise turn opens the door and the cable isn't rubbing/twisting.

[@elizabethcox746]

Useful video, thanks. I was hoping this would help me but it's not that our cable's snapped (we have rigid metal rods) it seems one side lock/latch is not releasing when we unlock and twist the door handle, as the left is released and wants to open.. Is there some kind of fishing I can do for the right side that's stuck locked? I'm locked out of my garage, help!

[@riteshmalla2353]

you helped me thank you for great video

[@johncavill1139]

watching from uk interesting the different locks you use the yale type nightlatch locks are a little different

[@robertlaing2061]

Thank you 🙏

[@lmars5933]

Nicely done. 😎

[@samanthaacevedo7928]

How do I Open it if the cables aren’t snapped ?

[@dkline8874]

Ez money 💰 👍🏼

[@JP-dr7qd]

this was exactly my problem, have to wait for someone to come and fix it since I dont have the tools. was able to fish out the wire but not able to jimmy it across :/

[@crankylock7844]

Got a bite on your first cast. lol. A plastic push in type of O ring would be handy to snap into the recess holes to give the cable longevity if they were available. Did you drop into Bunnings for the Lenlok cable? I thought we were the only ones being extorted by the petrol prices. I noticed the BP servo prices. Bloody highway robbery:-)

[@DrLockShop]

Hi, Its worse in the school holidays , the price goes up 20-30 cent P/L, I like the lenlok cable, you get the clamp screws and its all packed in a small pack, Bunning sell you 10m at a time, its cheaper, but always ends up floating around the van once opened

[@kp1892]

I tried that but did not work - any other ideas? The key turns and opens the lock but door won’t move up to open.

[@theEVILone0130]

Too bad it's not applicable in my case while the lock. Assembly is centered in the door it has unequal length bars that run from the lock assembly to edge of the door.

[@rhgillin101]

Great video. I got the cable in real easy. Can now open from the inside. Now the T-Handle on the outside wont work. Have i threaded the cable wrong?

[@DrLockShop]

yep

[@rhgillin101]

Cheers. I will rethread see what happens.

[@rhgillin101]

All fixed. You're awesome thanks. In future i will take pics before i take apart.

[@ahmedtouck8913]

How much to fix this exact problem,

[@Jackcc5]

where did you get the wire from

[@DrLockShop]

RTM, Jaycar , AME, the big stuff for the inverter is the worst $30 a meter, almost all runs are twin sheath, that stuff I get from AME, an auto electrical wholesaller

[@DrLockShop]

Whoops wrong video,,, Lenlok , you can buy from bunnings too, but must but 10m

[@allwrightrestorations2691]

What did u use to open the door? The blow up thing

[@DrLockShop]

air weg

[@GutterClown]

That music is catchy, what's the name?

[@habitangleft]

Was that just wd40 you sprayed at the end?

[@tonymanero5544]

He should be using lithium grease so it doesn’t evaporate like wd40.
