Cant get the Cerb out, Im locked out of garage. I went out with a bundle of keys yesterday, and left the garage keys in the car when I put it away.
Anyone got any decent ideads of how to open a yale lock?
Im just thinking drill out the barrel, but not entirely sure that will work.

A good locksmith could pick the lock, but it might be cheaper and quicker to drill it and get a new barrel from B&Q.

Not wanting to pay for a locksmith, on a Sunday, bet they arent cheap.
Its a rented place, so i'll try the agents tomorrow, they should have a spare, the drill is in the garage, but can get my hands on one.

Will just enjoy the sun today in the garden, oh well, lol........ bbq is getting fired up.

How bigs the gap between the door and the frame where the lock is?

If it's a loose fitting door then I know a little trick to pop the lock.

email me if your interested, I won't post it on here as you'll all be buying deadbolts for your front doors!
