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.

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

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

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

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

[isaiahvillanueva]

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

[elguapodidit]

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

[ryanpenrod]

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

[edwardstarrett]

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

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

Those LED lights are so handy on modern drills.

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.

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.

[ethelryan]

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.

[kylecorey]

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

[zimmz]

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

[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

[itsio]

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.

[libbyd]

Could have used that technique yesterday.

[TheAmericanPlug]

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