Spent many hours trying to remove a lock, understand the frustration the door owner must have felt. After watching your video took less than 1 minute to remove the lock, easy ! thank you so much

Bill you are an absolute bloody legend! I started pulling my lock apart and got to exactly this point! Annoyed that I might spend the rest of my night searching for a solution. But Bill has the answer to all of lifes problems!

@zoevas108 Год назад

I had the key Bill, and the lock chamber would not unlock properly. I had to use this hack, used a wrench and a multi grip, abit of force and boom, it snapped right off. Your a legend , thanks so much.

Thanks mate, got it out before I thought about butchering the screen as I have the key but the handle lock buddy was already broken😅👍🏻‼️

@chuckmaddison2924 День назад

Many thanks, I have the key and removed the cylinder screw . No damage and at least 20 years old. It appears the cam won't release. I believe the old lock is Lockwood and I have a Bunnings Rolltrak to replace. Contemplating snap vs locksmith.

Wow. This saved me a lot of frustration and angst. Locked barrel, no keys and I thought I would have to cut apart with an angle grinder. Snapping worked brilliantly with no damage to door. New barrels readily available albeit now around $33.00 in Oz.

Get them from bunnings for $5-10👍

Thanks for the video! Perfect timing as I was doing this task today but didnt have enough gap between the body and the cylinder to get to the cam!

Me again, I found an old tape measure and cut a strip from It about 3mm wide and was able to trip the cam. Many thanks.

@@billshowto that’s part of the fun, seeing how different places do things. Construction principles are the same, but codes and products are amazingly different.

Very clear explainations, even speak English as a 2nd language I followed the steps and removed everything! Thanks a looooot I closed the glass door and the key snapped in the key hole I wonder if there is a way to take the broken key out. Just wondering if I can avoid to go to Bunnings on Christmas Eve…😂

hi bill, Would you kindly show how to remove Jason window catcher ? Appreciate it

@petereicens5089 7 месяцев назад

Good vid, but on some doors, like mine, you have to make sure the latch is full engaged, other wise, even with a key, the lock is still stuck. Once the mall snip is pressed and the latch fully extended (as if it was locking the door) you can use the key to turn the cam and get the lock out.

@alenkacaserman Год назад

Not me watching this after I spent the last couple of hours making a completely ridiculous mess out of my screen door 🤣 Pretty much drilled the lock into shrapnel and it still didn't come out. It was a pleasure snapping the damn thing in half

@jordenlai5895 Год назад

Hi Bill, I need to cut the screen door handle area to make it bigger to fit a new handle. What can I use?

@billshowto Год назад

Depends on how much larger it needs to be. Sometimes I need to make the area larger just for the screws and I use a larger drill bit. If you need to make the whole area larger there is specialized tools ( punch) for this. The area would generally be covered by the face plates so in theory it dosnt need to be pretty.

@jordenlai5895 Год назад

@@billshowto thanks. larger drill bit to shave is a good idea. Will give it a go.
