  • Orrrrr

    you could just keep a spare key in your bra instead of a wrench and a paperclip, but that's just my 2 cents.
    Great video though, very informative.

  • Easier and Faster way to open locks

    If this video doesnt work for you like it didnt for me then i suggest you get some bumpkeys instead like i did. i got them from superbumpkeys. com for about 2 dollars each and its alot easier to open any lock.

  • Good....but....

    meant for thieves

  • Okay! Other solution!

    take a screw dirver and unscrew the screw on the lock.
    take a chainsaw and destroy the door!

    The Hinges of the door are on the outside. Just use a hammer and a screwdriver to pull the pins of the hinges out and you don't need this all bullshit.

    • if you're worried about break-ins..

      why don't you buy a fingerprint lock lol...can't break in using a piece of wire then :) or buy a vault door and apply a time-lock so you can only get in at certain times...lol just make sure you're home when the door unlocks...
