or

Vigorously apply a shoulder to the door. You'd be surprised how easy
that one can be.

 

A friend had locked herself out of the house - two doors with a yale lock
each.

How easy is it to drill these out and get the door open?

I think she wants the door to survive , and ideally show no damage at all.

I've popped a couple of wooden doors open in the past using the centre bar
of a car crook-lock in a small hole drilled at the edge of the door.

Does she want the fucking thing open or not?

Wise move.

It may be covered in her household insewerance.

 

Hehehe , I think she decided it would be quicker and less destructive to
call a professional locksmith.

Bit more expensive mined ewe

Cut her up and post her through the letterbox.

HTH.

 

I saw a locksmith who had a neat little tool which he inserted through
the letterbox and turned the handle of a Yale from the inside.

He had a little mirror on a stick to see what he was doing.

Much cheaper to do a window. It's also covered on insurance I would think.

At my old flat I used to use a stick that I left under the wheelie bin.
I was forever locking myself out of there because the last place I lived
at needed a key to lock the door behind you.

 

dead easy drill straight through the part where the key goes with a
8-10mm drill bit

I'd kill for a tool like that.

Quite.

 

As seen on Rogue Traders, except the rogue drilled straight through the
keyhole AFAIK. Did the job though.

 

Yup , all sorted now.
