I don't believe the locksmith was really trying. He knew the door had bolts, so he also knew whatever he did was useless. He got British Gas to pay for two hours of his work while he mucked about looking like he was trying. Then he told British gas that he couldn't get in, so they left.

@@gbear1005 Maybe.

I consider option 1) unlikely. Option 2) is quite possible, however I find it strange that the locksmith did not inform British Gas that he could not open a barred door by picking or drilling the lock. Instead he spent two wasting everyone's time (and being paid by British Gas), before packing it in.
There's something that I fail to understand. The locksmith fucked up the lock and everyone just left. What about the fact that there were children (including a newborn) in the property, and in case of an emergency (fire etc), they are not able to leave the property because the lock is so damaged that they cannot even open it from inside. It's a death trap.
Very intelligently handled sir. The police's lack of concern for the family inside should see them out of a job at least. What ever happened to 'protect the innocent'. It's utterly gutless when you know your doing wrong to stand back and watch it all happen.

A few years ago, I got a gas bill for several hundreds of pounds, but my house had a coal fired boiler and Electric cooker. I refused to pay and was threatened with disconnection! I let them get a warrant and then let them in along with 3 police officers. The police were puzzled just as I was, eventually a gas meter was found behind a panel under the stairs, it was found to be capped off and sealed.

They still wanted me to pay it until I pointed out I hadn't asked for a gas meter to be left in my house and I would charge storage if it wasn't removed. Apparently, there is no safe way to do this without capping it off in the street (dig the road up). The bill was cancelled, and the meter remained with no further bills arriving.
I had a similar experience with an electricity company when I received a bill for almost £3000. I contacted them to find out if my meter was connected to the street lighting or Blackpool illuminations! After many threatening letters and stress, they came and checked the meter. Guess what?

In the UK our nicer doors have locks that are incredibly resistant to picking. Drilling is very often required, and even that is not an easy job. But by god that man does not know how to use a drill.

yes he wasnt any good but due to him failing thats one up to the people british gas do employ locksmiths as dyno locks are part of the british gas group
BusterMove I could have opened that lock in 3 seconds, No drilling no hammer, just my keys. even if there was a key still in on the other side. That guy drilling the lock did not know what the fuck he was doing.
Delightful outcome, and thank you very much to the team that challenge these corporate criminals. You guys are helping to restore my faith in humanity, and sharing these videos is enabling people to see our society for what it really is.
As a retired warrant officer and locksmith with a utility company, this is outrageous behaviour. Notice was always given of our intentions and with a little consideration a forced acces was rare. Rule 1. If there were elderly or children under 5 we walked away. If the door was bolted we would never attempt a forced entry. They hired a butcher not a locksmith. Once you start to drill you must gain entry to replace the lock. This lot should be sacked and British Gas sued. I NEVER put myself or colleques in a situation like this or the occupants inside. To my knowledge, none of my fellow warrant officers did. Forced entry was absolute last resort. Glad im retired with dickheads like this putting us all in such a bad light.
It looks to me that nothing was achieved at all by anyone, the gas people were only thwarted by the inept locksmith, the guy who came out to help was well versed in the law but it didn't stop anyone so was no help at all.
Amazing how the police can attend in force but when a real crime is committed they don't want to know. Of course their real priority is enforcement of the system not protecting the public. ( with personal exceptions)
Although I am only a Fitter, I worked as a Locksmith for almost 4 years. Watching that Cowboy try to drill out that Lock was so bad it almost hurt. I say, "Cowboy" because watching him proved to me that he had no idea what he was doing. As a REAL Locksmith he should have, or at least know, that there is a Device (only sold to real Locksmith Shops) that breaks the Cylinder at it's weakest place allowing you to then open the lock with a flat bladed screwdiver. In my time working as a Locksmith, I would have dealt with the Cylinder within minutes and not damaged anything else. In fact I was once called out, from the shop, by the Police because an old man was calling for help from the second floor of his house. He had locked the front door and 3 other inside doors, fallen heavily breaking his Pelvis. I opened all 4 doors in the time that Cowboy failed to deal with 1 Cylinder.
they dont put pensioners doors in over a fall, an emergency locksmith can be there in a lot less time than it takes them to get their big yellow key and all the safety gear required to use it, plus they have multiple doors and have no idea where the fallen pensioner is lying, a locksmith can have those 3 or 4 doors open without damage and safely in under 30mins, inside doors are a lot easier than outer doors, breaking them down is needless and who is paying for new doors? if they havent gave the poor man a heart attack putting all his doors in by then ofc
Hjtgjj Mjjhh Not always true, some locks won't pick, and sometimes they're holding the door closed. But this isn't the guys finest hour for certain. I followed the legal argument at first, but the bit about not being allowed to force the bolts is nonsense. The warrant clearly says "right of entry", in the very title of it, and allows entry.
DSSlocksmiths Oh yeah the legal argument is bollocks. By the time someone has a warrent to force entry you have already lost and are best just complying. When they return to court they are going to be able to show you aren't going to abide with the courts decision and end up liable for any costs they want to add on. I'm not a real locksmith either but I have cut keys for Timpsons. I was told that the higher end locks that won't pick are even less likely to be opened by a drill?
Hjtgjj Mjjhh If you know what you're doing, most locks will pick. I got my analysis for last year, and according to the job sheets I replaced two locks, one cylinder and one mortise, over who knows how many warrants. But, I don't like doing warrants - crap money, and people sometimes hate you for doing your job. Rather do a private job where the customer offers me a tea I can trust is clean!
DSSlocksmiths You'd think the smartarses would at least have learned the 'don't shoot the messenger' rule. Just be glad you don't have to go into the property. I've done broadband installations before and I've seen some horrendous things. I stay awake at night wondering if it was mostly dog or toddler poo...
Exactly mate, it’s great to hear that from someone who knows his trade/ a professional. It’s people like this who are an embarrassment to every decent person like yourself. God bless you mate ❤

That's going to make things more difficult for him.
What was this due to ? all this for an unpaid British Gas bill or an enforced gas meter reading ? I just don't understand. Or is it suspected meter tampering ?
@@user-ub1dz8js7s No idea what the story is for this case. Sometimes it is a route they take when someone is seriously behind on their bill payments, as it forces the person to prepay to use their utilities, and the bill repayments are taken out of the top up purchases. However, there have been cases where the utility companies have just decided they wanted to enforce certain properties to have the pre pay meters installed. The objection to this being that the rate is often higher than a standing order meter. And in some cases, they even sought legal warrants to enforce these installations, which takes police officers away from their work dealing with actual criminal cases.
so you think he COULD break into a packet of crisps then? perhaps you could have typed "i doubt that locksmith could have broken into a packet of crisps." granted it sounds pompous, but at least its far better england than wo you put down dont it like?
That locksmith is an embarrassment to his profession, he maybe wants to find a new career like shelf stocking in a supermarket! That was the worse attempt I've ever seen! 😲😳⚠️
This happened just under 4 years ago, what was the outcome: Did the locksmith get nicked, did he replace the lock? Did the coppers get into trouble? Was the gas metre being tampered with? It would be interesting to know since I watched 45 mins of this.
What happened is your gas bills went through the roof because of idiots like this that don't pay their gas bills and then refuse BG workers access to their own equipment to fit a pre-payment meter.
@@bam-skater your bills went through the roof because the owners of CENTRICA who own BRITISH GAS want to shut down the middle class and force them on to Universal Basic Income. Not that you'll be intelligent enough to understand any of that.
4 police officers for 2.5hrs, that's 10hrs of police time wasted by British Gas. I hope the police send them a bill (and prosecute them if they don't pay on time)! 😄
Nah, the police have time. I've once seen a pair of police officers look straight at a man bleeding out on the side of the road and drive on as if they'd never seen a thing. Later to only stop a drunk man giving them the middle digit at which point they use excessive force to get him into their car. This kind of crap is right up their alley way. Minimal effort, minimal paperwork and a pat on the back for a hard days work. Not to say all of them are like this, but I bet it was in this case. After all, I really doubt they needed 3-4 police officers to monitor this situation.
Should have asked if the "locksmith" needed to watch a UA-cam video how to be a locksmith. Absolutely disgraceful from the police and them scumbags. Well done to you sir for being fantastic!!!

In a few years on a haunted tour of the area the tour guide will say, “A shame the property is now haunted by the ghost of a “locksmith” trying to open a brick wall….. if you listen closely you might hear the faint wain of the drill bits against the impenetrable locking wall”
Not sure though. At one point he tried using his foot to wedge the door open, then he was told that he wasn't allowed to do that and he immediately stopped and never tried again. He probably initially tried to gain entry, but after realising that he couldn't, he mucked about so he could get paid.
Without identification it's an unlawful entry and it's illegal the officers here are helping these criminals and they'll be liable in court and face a very big fine.
The LAW is for ALL of us, Why do British Gas think they can get away from following the CORRECT procedures? And another interesting observation, When oil prices hit 150 Dollars a barrel, the Utilities companies put up the prices by nearly 50%, blaming the wholesale oil prices, For more then a year, oil has dropped to less then 50 Dollars a barrel, Why haven't the Gas and Electric companies dropped their prices by about 60%? Why haven't the Government taken any action against the Utilities companies?
J. Ronald your a compassionate soul aren't you. God forbid you should find yourself in this situation or homeless, oh but your not one of those people are you.. That stuff can happen to anyone.. Why don't help an old lady cross the road or something today, to make up for your shitty comment, have a splendid day cup cake!
@DivineLove247 It isnt as simple as that. The energy suppliers have to bid in advance for their product, sometimes years in advance. That means that when prices spike they might not have to raise their prices for a while. If they renew contracts during a spike they could be tied in to buying expensive product for a long period even if the prices dropped a few days after the ink dried. Applies the same to Gas, petrol, oil, coal etc. Thats why you see delays in high street prices verse the world market prices. Though you are right that some companies abuse their position by rasing earlier than they need to and lowerer later, that's purly for profit because they think they can get away with it - but even if they played things 100% straight it would still look unfair if you are comparing to world market prices

It's not anything special, the person wasn't a locksmith. He had zero idea what he was doing, did you see him going at it with the drill? He was jamming it around everywhere hoping it would break something. All he had to do was remove the faceplate with something flat and expose the screws to the entire handle.

@@bbxbbx5547 But he was not interested in saying he couldn't get past the lock. He was killing time while his charges mounted up. He was obviously regularly used by B/Gas and didn't want to be identified as he had no advertising on his van. Ashamed of what he does.

To be honest this old fart isn't a locksmith, he's a driller killer, an insult to the profession, we can open that door in seconds without a drill, I could smack that coffin dodger for what he does.
As said before your all missing the point. The door was BOLTED from the inside. The guy drilled the lock in first five minutes all the rest was just wasting time looking busy because he didn't know what to do
@Razorback73 Do you really think you can pick a lock in few seconds, even if there's a broken key stuck inside it? I mean, this is assuming you watched the video and understand english...
yeah probably because all the worth a damn locksmiths wouldn't agree to doing this, but this piece of shit locksmith was like "Yeah ill do it i cant get any other jobs because i cant open a locked door" Hell i can open a deadbolt with nothing but 2 paperclips.
I agree, a real locksmith would have picked or bumped the lock without damage. He just wanted to make the extra cash selling a new lock for probably 100 pounds.
what part of the door has bolts on the inside do you not understand even if the lock smith had the key and opened the lock the door is still bolted from inside and the lock smith know,s he is wasting his time but he is getting paid no matter what so why would he not mess about for hours?
Good for you standing up for people. The corporations need to start treating everyone like human beings. I worked in debt collection and have seen some truly bad behaviour from bailiffs and enforcers. To be honest i wouldn't have warned them about the bolts. Let them carry on and then get the police to arrest them after!
British Gas disconnected the gas in a property before I moved in and there was a large British Gas sign on the equipment saying 'British Gas Disconnected'. Then they started sending me (the new tenant) letters. I rang them and said it was disconnected. They said 'did you do it?' I said 'no' and they said we are coming round now and will break in if you do not open the door. I was at work so I had to rush home. An engineer sent by British Gas but not B Gas came in and looked and said 'British Gas disconnected this of course they did' The point is they are so inefficient they do not even keep proper records of their own disconnections.
Best bit of advice ever ...... fit a bolt on the inside of your door they are not allowed to kick the door down only break the lock to gain entry if they do they are breaking the law
I’d put a wager on it that he only works for British Gas. He will be an employee by the looks of the door and handles it’s an old door and probably has the original barrel in it. That door should take a good locksmith a mere few mins to pick. Even after the pained pick a screwdriver and a pair of mole grips would snap the barbell in two. The twat didn’t know what to do. And should never have left without waiting to replace the barrel at his own cost once the corporation thugs have left.
I dabble in a bit of amateur lock sport and can see this "Locksmith" has no real skills. Wouldn't calling him a locksmith would be against the trade descriptions act 2011?
You don't need to be anything like a locksmith for these doors ffs. You just need a 5mm drill bit and an adjustable wrench. The drill bit isn't for drilling the lock either... you can tell this nougat eats everything with a spoon.

scottishmale1970 At least we know he would make a piss poor house breaker lol
Delightful outcome, and thank you very much to the team that challenge these corporate criminals. You guys are helping to restore my faith in humanity, and sharing these videos is enabling people to see our society for what it really is.
Being destroyed by antisocial uncooperative clowns like this "sovereign" goofball
These corporate companies are just greedy scum bags.
3 Kids in the house door lock broking. What if a FIRE brock out. Thy all went away. SHAME ON THEM
"Can we have some privacy"
"It's a public area, you can go in private if you like"
LOL'd hard at this.
As a retired warrant officer and locksmith with a utility company, this is outrageous behaviour. Notice was always given of our intentions and with a little consideration a forced acces was rare. Rule 1. If there were elderly or children under 5 we walked away. If the door was bolted we would never attempt a forced entry. They hired a butcher not a locksmith. Once you start to drill you must gain entry to replace the lock. This lot should be sacked and British Gas sued. I NEVER put myself or colleques in a situation like this or the occupants inside. To my knowledge, none of my fellow warrant officers did. Forced entry was absolute last resort. Glad im retired with dickheads like this putting us all in such a bad light.
Thinking this locksmith would have trouble picking his own arse!
LOL!
or his nose
What a fat, useless prick.
I doubt he could find his arse.
There seems to be a lot of Police manpower available for this shit! But fuck all when someone is being threatened.
Try and live somewhere else in the world most countries are a million times worse.
Like most countries, the police are above the law. These 4 will complain how overworked they are.
I love watching a real professional at work........
you're brilliant mate, using criminal laws for a civil case is outrageous
You sir are a legend and have my total and utter respect .If only there were more people like you around.
The "locksmith" was sent to an open prison.. Still there even after his release date.
Never seen such incompetence in a trade
Any update on what happened afterwards? complaints filed, compensation etc.
Its fropm 4 years ago so should have all been settled by now
upvote this I wanna know too
Me three
the gas henchmen do what they want cause they know he cannot pay the gas he will not be able to pay proper representation!
UPDATE! the locksmith is still drilling the lock
It looks to me that nothing was achieved at all by anyone, the gas people were only thwarted by the inept locksmith, the guy who came out to help was well versed in the law but it didn't stop anyone so was no help at all.
hatton garden jewellers was broken into quicker than this

Best comment this century!!!

Amazing how the police can attend in force but when a real crime is committed they don't want to know. Of course their real priority is enforcement of the system not protecting the public. ( with personal exceptions)
Good reason to NEVER have British Gas as your energy supplier.
I hope a prosecution ensued from this. 😠
Doesn't matter who your supplier is, all the infrastructure belongs to BG
@@bam-skater Centrica, actually.
Although I am only a Fitter, I worked as a Locksmith for almost 4 years. Watching that Cowboy try to drill out that Lock was so bad it almost hurt. I say, "Cowboy" because watching him proved to me that he had no idea what he was doing. As a REAL Locksmith he should have, or at least know, that there is a Device (only sold to real Locksmith Shops) that breaks the Cylinder at it's weakest place allowing you to then open the lock with a flat bladed screwdiver. In my time working as a Locksmith, I would have dealt with the Cylinder within minutes and not damaged anything else. In fact I was once called out, from the shop, by the Police because an old man was calling for help from the second floor of his house. He had locked the front door and 3 other inside doors, fallen heavily breaking his Pelvis. I opened all 4 doors in the time that Cowboy failed to deal with 1 Cylinder.
Police don't use locksmiths in emergencies, they just put the door in.
they dont put pensioners doors in over a fall, an emergency locksmith can be there in a lot less time than it takes them to get their big yellow key and all the safety gear required to use it, plus they have multiple doors and have no idea where the fallen pensioner is lying, a locksmith can have those 3 or 4 doors open without damage and safely in under 30mins, inside doors are a lot easier than outer doors, breaking them down is needless and who is paying for new doors? if they havent gave the poor man a heart attack putting all his doors in by then ofc
That tool you're talking about depends on how far the euro is sticking out but I know what you mean.
maybe cowboy locksmith is low bid?
no matter what profession low bid, is low bid and a fools journey.

this "locksmith" is no more a locksmith than i am a rocket scientist, no wonder he wouldn't give his name.
Richard Lorych a real locksmith wouldn't have to drill the lock
Hjtgjj Mjjhh Not always true, some locks won't pick, and sometimes they're holding the door closed. But this isn't the guys finest hour for certain.
I followed the legal argument at first, but the bit about not being allowed to force the bolts is nonsense. The warrant clearly says "right of entry", in the very title of it, and allows entry.
DSSlocksmiths Oh yeah the legal argument is bollocks. By the time someone has a warrent to force entry you have already lost and are best just complying. When they return to court they are going to be able to show you aren't going to abide with the courts decision and end up liable for any costs they want to add on.
I'm not a real locksmith either but I have cut keys for Timpsons. I was told that the higher end locks that won't pick are even less likely to be opened by a drill?
Hjtgjj Mjjhh If you know what you're doing, most locks will pick. I got my analysis for last year, and according to the job sheets I replaced two locks, one cylinder and one mortise, over who knows how many warrants.
But, I don't like doing warrants - crap money, and people sometimes hate you for doing your job. Rather do a private job where the customer offers me a tea I can trust is clean!
DSSlocksmiths You'd think the smartarses would at least have learned the 'don't shoot the messenger' rule.
Just be glad you don't have to go into the property. I've done broadband installations before and I've seen some horrendous things. I stay awake at night wondering if it was mostly dog or toddler poo...

The lock is clearly made out of premium quality
Or the locksmith is a Dunce

I've been a locksmith for 35yrs and I've never seen such a butcher as this bloke
He's blinkered in his approach could be stage fright !
I have a son who as been a lock smith for a year as he isn't a driver I take him and he'd be in the lock with picks in about 3 minutes
Exactly mate, it’s great to hear that from someone who knows his trade/ a professional. It’s people like this who are an embarrassment to every decent person like yourself.
God bless you mate ❤
Judging by how he peers through his glasses he is also blind… I mean, he can still make out shapes and things.
He might of known ge couldn't get in and just wasting time so he can get paid

What was this due to ? all this for an unpaid British Gas bill or an enforced gas meter reading ? I just don't understand.
Or is it suspected meter tampering ?
@@user-ub1dz8js7s No idea what the story is for this case. Sometimes it is a route they take when someone is seriously behind on their bill payments, as it forces the person to prepay to use their utilities, and the bill repayments are taken out of the top up purchases.
However, there have been cases where the utility companies have just decided they wanted to enforce certain properties to have the pre pay meters installed. The objection to this being that the rate is often higher than a standing order meter. And in some cases, they even sought legal warrants to enforce these installations, which takes police officers away from their work dealing with actual criminal cases.
I do not think that the lock smith could not break in to a packet of crisps.
heh
so you think he COULD break into a packet of crisps then? perhaps you could have typed "i doubt that locksmith could have broken into a packet of crisps." granted it sounds pompous, but at least its far better england than wo you put down dont it like?
Very picky Darren.
not picky just better england than wot u speek
England has a capital letter.
That locksmith is an embarrassment to his profession, he maybe wants to find a new career like shelf stocking in a supermarket!
That was the worse attempt I've ever seen! 😲😳⚠️
This happened just under 4 years ago, what was the outcome: Did the locksmith get nicked, did he replace the lock? Did the coppers get into trouble? Was the gas metre being tampered with? It would be interesting to know since I watched 45 mins of this.
What happened is your gas bills went through the roof because of idiots like this that don't pay their gas bills and then refuse BG workers access to their own equipment to fit a pre-payment meter.
@@bam-skater yep lol
@@bam-skater your bills went through the roof because the owners of CENTRICA who own BRITISH GAS want to shut down the middle class and force them on to Universal Basic Income. Not that you'll be intelligent enough to understand any of that.
@@lewisisdaman nope
@@bam-skater in all honesty, what if these people couldn't afford to pay, also keep in mind that a pre payment meter is more expensive
4 police officers for 2.5hrs, that's 10hrs of police time wasted by British Gas. I hope the police send them a bill (and prosecute them if they don't pay on time)! 😄
Nah, the police have time.
I've once seen a pair of police officers look straight at a man bleeding out on the side of the road and drive on as if they'd never seen a thing. Later to only stop a drunk man giving them the middle digit at which point they use excessive force to get him into their car.
This kind of crap is right up their alley way. Minimal effort, minimal paperwork and a pat on the back for a hard days work.
Not to say all of them are like this, but I bet it was in this case. After all, I really doubt they needed 3-4 police officers to monitor this situation.
UK police are a joke
@@Ozlizardking not as much as American police

Should have asked if the "locksmith" needed to watch a UA-cam video how to be a locksmith. Absolutely disgraceful from the police and them scumbags. Well done to you sir for being fantastic!!!
So if I drill out a lock destroying it I can call myself a Locksmith?

astounding that the police don`t know the law,i see it far too often
*laughs in every act of parliament*
Some say, that locksmith is still drilling that lock till this day!
Watching that locksmith reminds me of me trying to get in my house in the dark when I'm pissed.
Has anyone considered that maybe the locksmith was fucking up intentionally so the gas people couldn't get in but not get fired in the process
Not sure though. At one point he tried using his foot to wedge the door open, then he was told that he wasn't allowed to do that and he immediately stopped and never tried again. He probably initially tried to gain entry, but after realising that he couldn't, he mucked about so he could get paid.
He was just padding an hourly bill. He know there was an internal only deadbolt that couldn't be drilled or breached, but still wanted $$ for the day.
That's no locksmith, he's just ruining the gearbox on lock
Do one nah he's just a nazi
Without identification it's an unlawful entry and it's illegal the officers here are helping these criminals and they'll be liable in court and face a very big fine.
Definition of a modern locksmith: a thug with a drill! A toffee hammer and a screwdriver It must be a difficult trade to learn.
The LAW is for ALL of us,
Why do British Gas think they can get away from following the CORRECT procedures?
And another interesting observation,
When oil prices hit 150 Dollars a barrel, the Utilities companies put up the prices by nearly 50%, blaming the wholesale oil prices,
For more then a year, oil has dropped to less then 50 Dollars a barrel,
Why haven't the Gas and Electric companies dropped their prices by about 60%?
Why haven't the Government taken any action against the Utilities companies?
J. Ronald your a compassionate soul aren't you. God forbid you should find yourself in this situation or homeless, oh but your not one of those people are you.. That stuff can happen to anyone.. Why don't help an old lady cross the road or something today, to make up for your shitty comment, have a splendid day cup cake!
@DivineLove247 It isnt as simple as that. The energy suppliers have to bid in advance for their product, sometimes years in advance. That means that when prices spike they might not have to raise their prices for a while. If they renew contracts during a spike they could be tied in to buying expensive product for a long period even if the prices dropped a few days after the ink dried. Applies the same to Gas, petrol, oil, coal etc. Thats why you see delays in high street prices verse the world market prices. Though you are right that some companies abuse their position by rasing earlier than they need to and lowerer later, that's purly for profit because they think they can get away with it - but even if they played things 100% straight it would still look unfair if you are comparing to world market prices
law is bound too the territory it governs, who's law it is, is the inheritance owners too the land.. don't have inheritance then for all likeliness in reality then you're a slave/worker with human rights.. certainly not God given rights thats for sure
the best way to describe the UK/US (commonwealth nations). is that it is a ship (corporation) the establishment are the crew officials and the voters (human employees/slaves) are its rowers.. the rowers that play up end up getting put in the holding cell (jail time) and the non-voters (rebels) are the rats scurrying around on their ship getting exterminated where they can get them
I'm the man going around this corporate ship looking to take those worthy enough off of that ship and sail our own righteous ship instead
this righteous ship (to which the lord will give us) will sail with our Lord god watching over us and policing ourselves as we should in his eyes (todays writings are not originals but they do still contain some top notch commandments that i hands down before the Lord agree with)
not only from within the ship.. but from outside vessels looking to sink our ship or even capture it
however instead of it being called a ship... it'll be a kingdom on the land surrounded by nations (other vessels) ua-cam.com/video/AzbcEus1Mbs/v-deo.html

Whatever that lock is, I want one !!!
ill take 1 too
It's not anything special, the person wasn't a locksmith. He had zero idea what he was doing, did you see him going at it with the drill? He was jamming it around everywhere hoping it would break something. All he had to do was remove the faceplate with something flat and expose the screws to the entire handle.
It's that gurneying crooksmith. He'd have trouble opening a tin of beans by the looks of him. He's shit at his job. I'm surprised he didn't resort to chainsawing the door in half.
he had a bolt lock on the other side of the door mate
@@bbxbbx5547 But he was not interested in saying he couldn't get past the lock. He was killing time while his charges mounted up. He was obviously regularly used by B/Gas and didn't want to be identified as he had no advertising on his van. Ashamed of what he does.
Those poor children will be so traumatised, absolutely unforgivable behaviour… make a stand people, its time to embrace our own sovereignty before its too late. Heroic work x
that also applies to them growing up breathing in 2nd hand smoke from their dud of a father. Btw the bloke narrating was last seen on youtube many moons ago with his tail between his legs handing back money to people who donated to him as there were questions that could not be answered as to where it went
Seems like the “ locksmith” was not a master tradesman. British Gas only use the cheapest labour they can hire.
Where did they find this locksmith?Pound land! , he can't even use a frickin hammer!
I've have a bigger toffee hammer 🔨 LOL 🤣😂
The police allow destruction of private property, because of a warrant ??
This is for the GAS company.... WOW this is nuts!!!!
a gas company what dont pay tax
I've always thought there should be a house packing squad. 50 guys pack in so tight behind the door having a conversation, so those entering can't go anywhere. The squad, are not breaking any laws, they're just involved in a conversation.
LOVE this idea!
Looolool
very impressed with the lock, wish i had one that good!
I don't know the name of this lock but other which can stop these parasites is the Avocet ABS (tested and worked) and the EVVA MCS.
To be honest this old fart isn't a locksmith, he's a driller killer, an insult to the profession, we can open that door in seconds without a drill, I could smack that coffin dodger for what he does.
i want a door like this
As said before your all missing the point. The door was BOLTED from the inside. The guy drilled the lock in first five minutes all the rest was just wasting time looking busy because he didn't know what to do
Crooks with licences to bully. And the police has no power's to stop it..
Scottish sovereign you are amazing 👏 ❤ ♥ 😍 💙
That locksmith would never make a burgler !!!
That locksmith should've been nicked, as it's illegal to smoke in a work vehicle.
Hands free - not illegal
not arrestable offence just a fine
even your own work vehicle?
No it's not - if the driver is the sole user. It is illegal if it is used by more than one person.
it not like he actually did the job though , therefore not work : no smoking in a work vehicle...
He's drilling the wrong part of the cylinder, he's a muppet
@Razorback73
Do you really think you can pick a lock in few seconds, even if there's a broken key stuck inside it?
I mean, this is assuming you watched the video and understand english...
I kept waiting for the locksmith’s fire axe to come out.
So much for a man's home is his castle!
A PROPER LOCKSMITH WOULD HAVE BEEN INSIDE NOW AFTER 30 SECONDS UNLIKE THIS OLD DODDERY GET
yeah probably because all the worth a damn locksmiths wouldn't agree to doing this, but this piece of shit locksmith was like "Yeah ill do it i cant get any other jobs because i cant open a locked door" Hell i can open a deadbolt with nothing but 2 paperclips.
I agree, a real locksmith would have picked or bumped the lock without damage. He just wanted to make the extra cash selling a new lock for probably 100 pounds.
Did anyone hear that the lock was Irrelevant. The Door was BOLTED top and bottom inside. Would of had to Kick it in.
any local junkie would've been in within a minute for the promise of a bag of skag
not with door jams he whoudnt
they should of hired a local burglar who would of been in and out in minutes,,,,
Love it! Could've got time off for good behavior too! Just no creative thinking in the Public Service......
Right thats what I hinted to that guy can't pick a lock to save his life .lol
a good locksmith would pick the lock causing no damage
should have asked for a CRB check of the people there, there are kids in the house
prob the worst locksmith in all of UK. he has 1 job. couldent even do it
He used to rob banks....made off with £2.47 and a coffee maker last time!!!
what part of the door has bolts on the inside do you not understand even if the lock smith had the key and opened the lock the door is still bolted from inside and the lock smith know,s he is wasting his time but he is getting paid no matter what so why would he not mess about for hours?
@62calum was guna say that myself mate haha
Good for you standing up for people. The corporations need to start treating everyone like human beings. I worked in debt collection and have seen some truly bad behaviour from bailiffs and enforcers. To be honest i wouldn't have warned them about the bolts. Let them carry on and then get the police to arrest them after!
All you need to say is, "I have my hand/palm across the other side of the lock." Drill it and you would knowingly cause harm and injury
British Gas disconnected the gas in a property before I moved in and there was a large British Gas sign on the equipment saying 'British Gas Disconnected'. Then they started sending me (the new tenant) letters. I rang them and said it was disconnected. They said 'did you do it?' I said 'no' and they said we are coming round now and will break in if you do not open the door. I was at work so I had to rush home. An engineer sent by British Gas but not B Gas came in and looked and said 'British Gas disconnected this of course they did'
The point is they are so inefficient they do not even keep proper records of their own disconnections.
What ever lock they've got, I want one!
Best bit of advice ever ...... fit a bolt on the inside of your door they are not allowed to kick the door down only break the lock to gain entry if they do they are breaking the law
You get more of a laugh out of watching this than watching a comedy sitcom lol 🤣
agreed and its a True Story
Nothing funny bout it
@@kevinturner5857 what ? the guy supposed to be a professional and he's taking ages lol of course it's bloody funny 🤣
The shop of the locksmith needs to be named and shamed.
I’d put a wager on it that he only works for British Gas. He will be an employee by the looks of the door and handles it’s an old door and probably has the original barrel in it. That door should take a good locksmith a mere few mins to pick. Even after the pained pick a screwdriver and a pair of mole grips would snap the barbell in two. The twat didn’t know what to do. And should never have left without waiting to replace the barrel at his own cost once the corporation thugs have left.
The Nazis used to say that, was just doing my job
Absolute scumbags. Anyone with moral compass would never do this to kids.
Dodgy locksmith in an unmarked van too
Love the cat that sits watching the whole thing lol
lol..yea,the cat was peacefully observing
Typical cat behaviour!!!!
That's not a locksmith - drilling locks is not locksmithing.
Debtwarrior your right there I’m a locksmith and he’s not even drilling the lock right
He tried but hit the safty pins thank eneneering for Hardend steel pins in the lock.
I dabble in a bit of amateur lock sport and can see this "Locksmith" has no real skills. Wouldn't calling him a locksmith would be against the trade descriptions act 2011?
Dale S I am a locksmith and I can tell you he is not lol
You don't need to be anything like a locksmith for these doors ffs. You just need a 5mm drill bit and an adjustable wrench. The drill bit isn't for drilling the lock either... you can tell this nougat eats everything with a spoon.
