I Tried Drilling a Lock and This Happened! (How I Opened a Locked Door Without a Key)

Did you lose your key and cannot open the lock? 🔑 In this video, I test one of the most popular methods people talk about online — drilling a door lock cylinder. Step by step, I show how a standard pin tumbler lock is built, where the springs and pins are located inside the core, and what really happens when you try to drill through them with a drill and a metal drill bit.

Many tutorials claim that drilling is an easy way to open a door without a key, but is it really that simple? I will carefully demonstrate how the drilling process works, which locks can actually be opened this way, and which ones have anti-drill protection. You will also see why some locks are much more resistant, and what hidden elements inside the cylinder can stop the drill.

This video is especially useful if you:
• lost your house key and cannot open the lock,
• broke a key inside the keyhole,
• have a stuck or jammed door lock,
• want to understand how lock mechanisms actually work,
• are curious if drilling is a real solution or just a myth.

⚡ Please note: this video is for educational purposes only. It helps you understand how locks function, how locksmiths may deal with broken or jammed locks, and why higher-quality locks are harder to open.
