Hi everyone,
Hopefully someone can help? We lost our front door keys, while the door is locked, this was ok as we usually used our back door. So I did a bit of research online and decided to drill the lock to break the pins and unlock the door to get the lock out. However I started at 4mm working upto 6mm drill bit, and this still did not work, so in frustration I kept at it and I iad a screw driver inside it trying to turn the lock and the screwdrive broke inside the lock!!
So I started again on the outside this time working from 4 mm upto 10 mm, all the pins are broke but the lock still wont turn? It doesnt make sense to me that it wont release, anyone any ideas?
I am now considering taking the door off the hinges, the hinges are flag hinges and actually looks more complicated to get the hinges off than I thought?
