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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
