    Best video on drilling a lock a far. It shows that this stuff is not simple. Despite the initial failure it was still unloaded. This is honesty.

    Doesn't help he did it wrong by not staring with a proper pilot hole n when his bit slipped he just continued to drill in the wrong place. Just poor decisions really

    For starters, yes. He should have used a smaller bit first as a pilot hole to get through the case, then switch to a larger bit to drill the pins. He actually didn't show how to drill out a lock. He was just trying whatever he could do to get it open. 60 secs it should be open.

    Drill a little lower to hit the sheerline, and stop after you feel 5 clicks (those are the pins) you probably went to far and damaged the tailpiece

    Sometimes I hit every pin perfectly and everything slides apart like I'm a veteran cat burglar. Sometimes the mechanism spins or the bolts inside are broken but wedged and you gotta beat on it. Seems to depend on the age/design and material of the lock.

Crap job for a low quality technician

    Locksmith here. You know as well as I do that sometimes even the easiest locks to pick (KW) can be corroded or for some other reason seem impossible to pick. Happened to me just last week. Stupid KW deadbolt. I worked on it for twenty minutes, tried picking it both ways, tried the gun... nothing, so I drilled it out. First time I'd drilled out a lock in about 5 years. I will say one thing, though. I think he could have turned the lock after drilling, but I don't think he was turning hard enough. I think it was just some burr from the drilling that made it seem like it wouldn't turn. When you drill, the metal from the drilling can get stuck between the plug and the housing, so you've really got to turn it hard.

    Sometimes the pins get in the way after the drill goes in the FIRST time. A second run in with the drill normally takes care of that. All I can say is I have never had that much trouble drilling a lock.

    The first hole was pointless and the method did not work. They then went to a secondary method of drilling out the screws which you saw was very fast and effective. Lesson, ignore the first 3/4 of this video and drill out the screws.
