Have you ever wondered how to drill out a locked door handle? We are not James Bond or MacGyver but when a resident has lost their keys or decided to change their lock without our knowledge it does leave us with an opportunity to test out what you see in the movies. There is a method as explained in the video. You must position your drill precisely where the pins and springs are located and using varying size drill bits carve out a hole big enough for the pins to release. This allows the cylinder to rotate freely and thus rendering the lock... picked.

Thank you... wind blew my door shut in my garage, locking me out. After calling 8 or 9 locksmiths and getting an average quote of $150 ... I looked up at Home Depot, the cost of a doornob... realized I would save about $110 by just drilling it... was in in just minutes... bought and installed the nob the same day... thank you for the video
Probably lying...how did you get your drill and bits when they were locked in the garage?
@@-Only.Facts- I was imagining they were in the garage with the bay door open and the wind blew the door to inside shut
@@-Only.Facts- I had them in the house, duh
@@GoogaLiuyta 🙄 everyone knows you're supposed to keep a drill in the garage smdh
@@-Only.Facts- mine were in the house emoji man
On the coldest day of the year I locked myself out. With No locksmith in town I had no other choice but to drill the lock. This video was a great help. Thanks for sharing.
which town are to that you don’t have any locksmiths
Just drilled out my first lock, followed the instructions and it was a breeze. Cheers for the very helpful video.
Work from home and accidentally locked my home office door and presumably thought I was just gonna hammer the handle off or just destroy the door until I saw this. Thank you!
No problem! Glad we could help. Love hearing the success stories!
It WORKED!!!!! I had put an exterior lock on my bedroom.door months ago. Last night was my night to close the door by mistake. My cell phone, all my keys and my wallet were all in that room. 15 minutes after watching this video several times and breaking my 1/4 in bit, I got in. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great explaination of how the lock worsened actually could feel each time a pin was drilled through! Thanks for posting this very useful procedure
I drilled the pilot hole just like you showed and the core popped out. Then I shook the core to get the pins out, put it back into the opening and was able to turn it with a different key. I didn’t even need to drill the bigger hole. Your video saved me a lot of time as any other option would have taken longer.
Nice! Glad we could help :)
Thanks!!! I paid a locksmith 80 bucks a few years ago to do the same thing. Never again thanks to your great video 👍
Glad I could help!
you paid a locksmith to drill a lock? that sounds like a lock installer someone who calls themself a locksmoth but all they know how to do is drill locks and fit new ones they stock up on from home depot
@@Sarge92 right. Locksmith should pick it
@@chunkyfecalbreakfast amongst other ways yep not saying they dont drill locks but it would be like the last thing they do
meanwhile lock installers just remove the lock and put anouther one in and call it a day
@@Sarge92 it frustrates me because my near-senile mother keeps paying “locksmiths” £350 to come drill a lock when it’s something you pay a handyman a third of price for
Literally just used this info for a new resident. Thank you!
Thank you! Saved me €280. Lost the key for the locked meter room for my apartment. Locksmith quotes were all above €280 but I can buy a new lock and keys for €15 at a hardware store. Was determined not to pay out so much!!
This is the only video that worked to open my front door I’m so happy I came across your video!!
I tried multiple things to get into my bedroom door nothing worked except this! Thank you for the video!!
No worries at all! glad you could get in and not have to call a locksmith!
Thanks!!! One of my office ladies locked the only key for her office inside, and i was about to just drill right through where the key goes. I figured I'd fuck up enough of the inside to get er open. 😂 Glad i took a second to look it up.
Thanks for the clear instructions.
Damn that's good to know you can use a small drill bit. I've always used 3/4 inch and just tear into the key hole. I guess there is more than one way. Good video.
Thanks for making this video straight to the point!
No problem! Glad we could help :)
Thank u. Very informative
Thank you, I’m tight on cash and this was a real help.
You saved my time and money. Thx 🙏
Thanx , really helped me out!
Thank you so much!
You saved the day
You rock. Expat based in England. Dealership wants $300 for spare key for hood of old car😂
Thx for helping people with ur ideas 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thx 🙏, this drill idea really worked
Well you helped me get into my room that had a lock seized. I was thinking that I'd have to kick it out. A lock is cheaper than a door and possibly a frame, so thank you.
Nicely done dude 👍
Yup looks easy to me. And save a bundle too. Thank u sir. I bet you got more good DIY videos. Ha! 👍👍😃
How far in did you drill? 1 inch? About the length of the part of the key that goes in keyhole?
About an inch. You need to get through all of the pins. You can always pull the drill out and try it. Then if it doesn’t turn yet, go a little farther.
My kid locked us out! I'm just charging the drill. Fantastic, thanks
As someone standing outside of his own bedroom because I locked myself out. Thank you
Omg he is using a Ryobi lol, great video man 👍
Thank so much! Well, it didnt work for me BUT it showed me how chinzy da metal was and i tore into and got it open by destruction! So, i wouldnt got it without watching how it shouldve. Thank you again and im now a subscriber for sure!
Thanks!
No problem! Glad we could help
How does one do this with a lever type door handle
Great job wonderful really, super video. Thanks. 2:10
Thanks Sky Management
Good tip
Happy to help
Years ago I got locked out of my house, I took a large hammer and knocked the handle off of the lock completely by hitting it down then took a screwdriver and twisted the bolt open. Then I got in .
Honestly for a simple lock and door like that, get a thin piece of plastic (cut it out of a plastic bottle, rectangle about 5x8 centimetres) and slide it into the space between the door and the frame beside the lock. Wiggle for a bit to get it under the catch but the door will swing right open. Faster, easier, and you don’t need to buy a new lock 🤷♂️
Only works if it's a door without a locking bar on the latch.
@Greev or when locking bar is fully extended.
perfect! I lost the shed key!👍🏻
Would this work on a ebike battery lock?,can't find key
Worked for me (2024)
Will the doorknob have to be upside-down to work? My doorknob is rightward UP.
I did the same thing rn , I start with a small drill bit and work my way up till its done
Does this work for other peoples locked spaces?
Unfortunately, mine was a really good lock. I had to drill for several minutes until the entire core was out.
But, your video was very helpful. Thanks!
Awesome! Glad we could help
How do you do it when you have a double sided key? I'm guessing those have pins on both top and bottom. Drill two holes?
That is what I have. Do you know the answer?
Trying to do it on a leverset where the key slot is horizontal. Any suggestions?
You want to drill the pin side. Whichever way the teeth face when you would put in the key.
Thanks my neighbor's couch is cozy
There is a faster way to open that lock if you no longer want the hardware. Take a large pair of channel locks and turn the knob until it snaps off. Then you can reach inside the mechanism and pull back the door latch.
next time could you try and tell us what sizes the drill bits are
I came here from lockpicking lawyer... i have a drill... thank you :)
You just gained a subscriber, thanks so much!
Thank you for supporting our channel! We are glad we could help :)
WOW.... All my security preparations, defeated in 2minutes. 🤔
The lockset looks like it was installed upside down. Normally the keyway is at the bottom of the cylinder. I drill out probably 30+ locks a year. It’s absolutely astonishing how cheap they built.
Locks are only a deterrent. Never fully prevent a committed thief.
Worked perfect thanks. Son lock is out with keys on other side
No problem! Glad we could help. We love hearing the success stories. :)
My problem is the privacy side of the door handle.
Tried but it didn’t work, any suggestions what might be wrong?
Probably didn’t go far enough to get all the pins, or you may not have gone low enough to get to the pins
ended up just banging it off with a hammer!
What kind of drill power is necessary?
I’m the video I used an 18v Ryobi drill. But I would think most any drill would work. It just might take a little longer with a smaller drill.
@@SkyManagement thank you!
Entry Point
Why did Everyone fail to mention that Before they even attempted to Drill their Pilot holes or just start drilling, that they place a Divet hole from a Punch to keep the drill bit in place when they start to drill?😅
I wish i knew this, i broke someone's window right next to their door handle that needed to get in their house, cost around 150 dollars to replace LOL :(
I just used a 15/64 drill bit (slight smaller than a 1/4, only because I could not find one) and an impact drill. I put it right into the key lock. At first it bound up, so i started the drill full speed and hit it. Took less than 20 seconds and the entire key hole spun around. Took the drill out and it was open.
What scared me the most is how fast it was to really open a lock. So much for security...
Good video, but dude...a 30 second intro? Come on man!
You didn't drill out the lock, the lock is still in the door. I need to drill out a lock and take it out of the door without opening the door first, wish me luck
Thanks man, my neighbor has some dope shit and I want it
gottemm
HAHAHAHA
This saved my life at 2 am🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
