Thank you... wind blew my door shut in my garage, locking me out. After calling 8 or 9 locksmiths and getting an average quote of $150 ... I looked up at Home Depot, the cost of a doornob... realized I would save about $110 by just drilling it... was in in just minutes... bought and installed the nob the same day... thank you for the video

I drilled the pilot hole just like you showed and the core popped out. Then I shook the core to get the pins out, put it back into the opening and was able to turn it with a different key. I didn’t even need to drill the bigger hole. Your video saved me a lot of time as any other option would have taken longer.

How far in did you drill? 1 inch? About the length of the part of the key that goes in keyhole?

About an inch. You need to get through all of the pins. You can always pull the drill out and try it. Then if it doesn’t turn yet, go a little farther.

Honestly for a simple lock and door like that, get a thin piece of plastic (cut it out of a plastic bottle, rectangle about 5x8 centimetres) and slide it into the space between the door and the frame beside the lock. Wiggle for a bit to get it under the catch but the door will swing right open. Faster, easier, and you don’t need to buy a new lock 🤷♂️

There is a faster way to open that lock if you no longer want the hardware. Take a large pair of channel locks and turn the knob until it snaps off. Then you can reach inside the mechanism and pull back the door latch.
@jujijime23 күн бұрын
It didn't work for me.. drilled the whole lock out after trying the pilot, then 1/4" bit.. I definitely got all the pins, but the knob wouln't turn still. Might be the type of lock (re-keyable) with a handle knob vs round knob.. not sure Plan B.. bust the doorknob and twist the internal bolt mechanism.. that worked.

I just used a 15/64 drill bit (slight smaller than a 1/4, only because I could not find one) and an impact drill. I put it right into the key lock. At first it bound up, so i started the drill full speed and hit it. Took less than 20 seconds and the entire key hole spun around. Took the drill out and it was open. What scared me the most is how fast it was to really open a lock. So much for security...
