Lockable Cctv Box

[Ronnie]

I seem to remember doing this before and it took 5 mins max.  As Cubit says, start small and get bigger..

Yeah if it worked on a cigarette vending machine should be fine on a cheapo barrel lock?

 

The machine was 1950s and bought at an antique fair I hasten to add! But very strong locks.

Had one last week, lost keys.

Just prise it open with a flat bladed screwdriver, it's so easy it makes you wonder why you bother with the lock.

It just bends the arm on the back of the lock so you can just use some players to remove the lock when your done.

Depends on the brand. Some have a hook on the arm so this can't be done.

Some are useless and can be easily opened with a screwdriver.

Its only a standard tubular lock, On the rare occasion our customers lose keys, I just pick the tube.

 

Its either a 5 or 7 pin what will be fitted, My Southern tubular pick will open one in less than a minute, I hate drilling out.

Drilled one yesterday 6mm drill bit 20 sec then ram a flat blade in, done this countless times, sharp drill bit is a must though.
