Best video on drilling a lock a far. It shows that this stuff is not simple. Despite the initial failure it was still unloaded. This is honesty.

[@zimmz123]

Doesn't help he did it wrong by not staring with a proper pilot hole n when his bit slipped he just continued to drill in the wrong place. Just poor decisions really

[@shakeyourtambourine]

I stopped at 1:07 & got my door open! Thanks sooooo much!!!!

[@azskyking6542]

As an actual locksmith, I gotta say, you should look into another line of work.

[@lccjr99]

Did he just drill to high?

[@rikanderson4215]

For starters, yes. He should have used a smaller bit first as a pilot hole to get through the case, then switch to a larger bit to drill the pins. He actually didn't show how to drill out a lock. He was just trying whatever he could do to get it open. 60 secs it should be open.

[@mr.austin5112]

😂

[@edwardstarrett5545]

Damn, that one fought back a little. Dremel. Carbide bit. Done. Go straight in the keyway and rake the pins. It's just easier.

[@donesixfour]

Drill a little lower to hit the sheerline, and stop after you feel 5 clicks (those are the pins) you probably went to far and damaged the tailpiece

[@isaiahvillanueva1295]

Wow honestly I didn’t have to fiddle or mess with the first lock I drilled out as much as you did.

[@ClosedProductions]

Sometimes I hit every pin perfectly and everything slides apart like I'm a veteran cat burglar. Sometimes the mechanism spins or the bolts inside are broken but wedged and you gotta beat on it. Seems to depend on the age/design and material of the lock.

[@daamskippy2300]

at the end “I’m done playin’ with you”

[@flaplaya]

Those LED lights are so handy on modern drills.

[@chrishouston5767]

Very Good. Thank you.

[@cherrycherry1292]

Thank you. This really helped me.

[@benvazquez6547]

Using a Lishi could’ve done it in 30 seconds and when you drill them just drill the cylinder don’t drill over the shear line.

[@ryan00101101]

Thanks. The mileage for a locksmith to get here would have cost me 100$ alone.

[@itsio7188]

People, This was all to show how quick it and how this type of lock lacks protection. Not to show you how to break in. Check out his site, he did tests on a couple others to show the quality of some better locks.

[@sudycy7092]

Thank you so much . I help me now

[@elguapodidit2201]

got sick of trying to kill those pins and went straight for the bolts that hold it I see. lol

[@jomartin9345]

Glasstech7 I was thinking the same thing

[@ilikit44]

That's the only way I've ever done it- saves a lot of time 😂

[@ryanpenrod1859]

That actually put up a pretty decent fight, but it would have been much quicker to drill the bolts out in the first place

[@securityman6666]

Drill the bolt out as in destroy the door?

[@lesliesavege1206]

If he knew how to do it right, it is quicker and easy to drill the pins.

[@jimnasium8442]

I mean, he just did a bad job of drilling the shear line is all. Generally the shear line is the way to go. He also could have drilled the plug instead so that only the plug and pins needed to be replaced.

[@ilikit44]

When we do lockouts and don't have a key , I do it the quickest and easiest way ~ drill the bolts on each side of the key hole

[@zimmz123]

Yes it puts up a pretty good fight when you start with the wrong bit in the wrong location 😂

[@libbyd7842]

Could have used that technique yesterday.

[@ethane8219]

I hit the screws on the back shot in 1st try cleanly

[@rogerscott9332]

1. Were you using Cobalt drill bits? 2. What tool were you using to try and knock the top pins out of the way? 3. What type of drill (cordless, speed range etc), I liked that, cause I am doing something wrong. Thanks.

[@mattyockey9195]

Roger Scott it doesnt matter what drill boss man just try to hit where the bolts that hold the deadbolt together are

[@securityman6666]

Roger Scott the only thing you are likely doing wrong is thinking that the moron who posted this video knows anything about locks.

[@zimmz123]

Sadest thing I've ever seen lol epic fail on what you were actually trying to do.

[@All_Amin]

You went a little too high above the pins and then ended up knocking out the screws instead

[@lshepherd5859]

you could always use c4 to make it faster

[@danzig159]

All that work trying to get the lock to turn to just turn around and easily drill the whole thing right off.

[@ethelryan257]

Sigh. Does anybody even bother to read the description? The author is not claiming this is a good way or the best way or even the quickest way. He's pointing out a series of vulnerabilities in each of the most common locks. Sheesh.

[@securityman6666]

The fastest way in (if not a pro) is to kick the door in. Quickset has a pathetically weak bolt.

[@pallmall5014]

Morons don't think/read about the info in the description boxes that are there for a reason. Thank you for clarifying this!!!

[@kylecorey88]

so when you are faced a lockout with a kwikset , is the drill the first tool in your arsenal?

[@erichogan9769]

for $30 pretty cheap to replace especially with smart key tech you can use the old keys. (not a locksmith)

[@ONLYHAM]

I would have picked this in litteraly a few seconds not even exaggerating in the slightest bit.

[@ultimateazhole]

Must be a beginner, I'd say a home owner, but the home owner wouldn't know or be ready to retract the latch like this guy did Could have had that picked in less then 30 seconds, especially considering the bitting on that key, and it being a normal kwikset , and that would negate the need to clean up a mess and replace the lock... Crap job for a low quality technician

[@PlanetRockJesus]

Locksmith here. You know as well as I do that sometimes even the easiest locks to pick (KW) can be corroded or for some other reason seem impossible to pick. Happened to me just last week. Stupid KW deadbolt. I worked on it for twenty minutes, tried picking it both ways, tried the gun... nothing, so I drilled it out. First time I'd drilled out a lock in about 5 years. I will say one thing, though. I think he could have turned the lock after drilling, but I don't think he was turning hard enough. I think it was just some burr from the drilling that made it seem like it wouldn't turn. When you drill, the metal from the drilling can get stuck between the plug and the housing, so you've really got to turn it hard.

[@lesliesavege1206]

Sometimes the pins get in the way after the drill goes in the FIRST time. A second run in with the drill normally takes care of that. All I can say is I have never had that much trouble drilling a lock.

[@cliftt]

Planet, Agreed. I kept talking to the screen. "Stick it in and turn!"

[@terrymarcotte8392]

use the key

[@leatherhorse1]

just show it

[@pallmall5014]

So that's how my drug addicted punk brother got into my storage room!

[@TheAmericanPlug]

I use this technique a few days ago and robbed everyone on my block . Couldn't wait for the stimulus check any longer

[@Frontrangelocksmith]

Please share the profits. Thanks

[@joeynavarro5762]

Lmao 😂

[@mayspondmogul]

Start at 2.00 see that strike plate on the door jamb I'd pop that door open wo a drill in one second😂

[@bobdeweese8287]

Don't quit your day job.

[@tartgreenapple]

Upload your own video doing it faster.

[@jimnasium8442]

I mean, this video is just blatantly bad practice. That's all there is to it. When done correctly the shear line can be drilled in half the time this took.

[@ryan00101101]

He just saved himself and others the cost of a locksmith. This is a win.

[@bertc.rodriguez6488]

BURN! 😂

[@joemaurice583]

Way to slow I'd drill for the screws every time

[@ddpp3492]

Looks like this is the improper drilling method

[@FwuffyNumgyOwO]

0:18 FBI OPEN UP!

[@ethane8219]

U aren’t anywhere near the pins and springs man

[@producerboy29]

First part u did for nothing only need to do the sides that’s it

[@jetknight7562]

The two sides were the one's needed to be drilled out.. not the top which would take less than a minute..

[@telestarlocksmith7047]

kwikset and it gave you trouble lol must be a pop-a-lock

[@leatherhorse1]

skip the threactrics

[@moneyfornothing3264]

Jesus that was painful to watch. So why didn’t you just drill out the screw mounts, instead of spending well over a minute drilling out the cylinder pins?

[@_jaypaa]

Yyh

[@_baller]

Annnd you're arrested

[@NoMercy-qd7os]

Quickset are easy to pick lmao 🤣😅😅😅 this is a SCAM

[@LayzieC11]

Lol fail at it's best. If you would've done it right the first time you would've gotten it 😂

[@bragucci]

If you need to drill a Kwikset lock you should not be in this line of work. We rake these open in less than a minute.

[@stevew3978]

He's doing a demo of how long it takes to drill open a Kwikset.

[@kennkid9912]

AHHH Kwikset. Means Quick break. Junk locks.

[@tomm8025]

The first hole was pointless and the method did not work. They then went to a secondary method of drilling out the screws which you saw was very fast and effective. Lesson, ignore the first 3/4 of this video and drill out the screws.

[@pasqualinogreco7325]

rookie

[@sergiorossi3803]

This is not your job...🤐

[@tubehead204]

Hack

[@huanluu1730]

Not good skill

[@Mike1614b]

punches it, then ruins the lock. what a hack

[@pallmall5014]

Are you jealous?

[@johnhendricks8869]

Hahahaha

[@WOR159]

🤣 this is sad…

[@geolocksmithbk]

🤮🤮🤮

[@walterwjr947]

wrong, wrong, wrong... now you have to replace the whole thing...

[@ilikit44]

$12 at Lowe's ~ if you don't have a key , it's the best way

[@JuanMartinez-df1lc]

Why didn't you just just drill the 2 bolts out. It's alot quicker

[@ababner317]

I don't see the bolts in the video where are they?

[@JuanMartinez-df1lc]

@@ababner317 one fell off in the floor the other on the right was still on the striker

[@son2soaringeagle]

Can get in ALOT easier than that Hammer flathead screwdriver into key hole Turn flat head screwdriver Push open door

[@seanvv7598]

That was terrible. You drive through the pins. You drove through the springs. Smfh

[@Papasmurph010]

Kwiksets, Schlags, etc., all garbage. Assa abloy, Mul-T-Lock is the way to go. Spend an extra $100 and your wallet will thank you in the long run.

[@pasqualinogreco7325]

schlage are very decent locks if you are on a budget. At my locksmith shop we have a assa abloy protec padlock that was shot 3 times with a 308 and it still didnt open lol.

[@dashout77]

Hahahaha... Couldn't get the cylinder...... Rookie

[@jeffdority1797]

you need more practice my dude, that was nerve racking. surely wont make a good thief with that technique !
