Will ossilating cutter cut through a door lock


The one great skill I acquired during lockdown one. Amazon had no jogsaw puzzles left so got a lock picking set. Asked people for any old locks they had and watched a load of YouTube vids.

When the key spins on a mortise it’s typically the curtain that’s worn away. The levers can still be picked individually to let the bolt spring open. Getting at them can be difficult so drilling another hole into the lock where the gate is let’s you spring the levers and open the lock.

One to remember if I ever need someone to pick my door lock. But I suspect a return from Waverley plus beer tokens would be more expensive than a local locksmith 😂

I opened one only last week as it happens. :lol:
Problem is if the barrel is just spinning then it's not catching the mortice so I'm not sure how you'd be able to catch it, you need the barrel to drag it back.
If it was a Yale lock on the latch I could be in within 3 minutes. :lol:

I learnt how easy it is to unlock a combination padlock to the point where I can do it blindfolded.
 
Cutting it gets you in but you'd still need to get the lock out and replace it to secure the door again. Just pay the locksmith if that gets you a new lock for the price as well.
 
I’ve never looked into picking a lock. I have always assumed it’s the same process as how a key would work and that if the key doesn’t work, the other option wouldn’t either.

I’ll bow to your greater knowledge.
Always have a few bump keys handy,work on older locks.
7 years in prison,and the report is apt to allert the neighbours,besides blowing the hinges with hatton rounds looks far better for an instagram post.
