I have lost my garage door keys. Its just a standard lock in the handle.

How can i open the garage door? Take a drill to the lock?

A fork is good for opening them

How would that work? Just prize it open from the side?

Na u bend back a couple of the "forky bits" back lol. then shove it in and twist. My mate used to do it to his all the time cause he lsot the key

I assume the simple door just used a bar straight up to the top of the frame.

Can just cut this but will need replacing after

swerv

does it lock at the top or the sides?

but we shouldnt be giving kids any tips for opening garages

Kids already know this stuff, should have asked them!!
If it is one with top mount drum, just insert a tyre lever etc between door and frame push in and lever drum away, so the door "uncathes".

As above if it latches at the top lever the top of the door down against the frame, ours got borken into a few years back but they didn't steal anything because what they wanted was in the shed so they broke into that and stole it (Mountain Bike worth Ł1200)

half of the time you can just unscrew the handle becaust there is no nuts on it or they are rusted solid to the door.Then just turn the barrel

how about a pair of stilsons on the handle and twist.

you gonna need a new one anyway as you have no key for that one.
also prevents damagening the actual door.

dunno if it will actually work, just thought i'd suggest it
