im no criminal but i need to break into my neighbours garage!
he is africa working and his house has been left empty,the oil has run out and his boiler has went into lockout.he has the only garage key with him and doesnt know when he will be back so,me being a plumber and his neighbour i have been asked to try and get in.i would love to use a hammer and chisel but its a nice newish door and dont want to completely wreck it.
is there a way i can pick it using screwdrivers?its a 3 yeaar old garador single garage roller door and has a tiny key.my key doessnt fit,already tried.we might end up having to get the locksmith out but if i could get in asap i could tip his oil tank up getting some heat into the house before his delivery of oil turns up,he has frozen pipes already as there is not hot water coming through so to avoid a flood i need in asap.ta in advance,lee

 

Can you not drill the lock through??

 

yeah,but wanted to see if there was a more non destructive way to open it 1st.

 

Due to the urgency I would have thought that this would be the quickest and cheapest route, lot less expense than having to call out a locksmith. Garage locks can't be that expensive, can they?

Apart from that, trying to find something small enough and robust enough to get into the lock itself might be a struggle. Hope the lock hasn't frozen...

*dont reck lamchops garage door*

 

*i dont like m3's*
i got in,hammer,screwdriver and a bit of brute force and sheer ignorance.
the plastic bit that you grab to pull the door up holds the lock on so when that break the mechanism falls in,then you go to the sides and get the driver in and work the latch out of the locating holes and the door opens,not enough oil in his tank to fire up the boiler,i swear hes on about 60k a year and when he called i said i would lift the tank up at 1 end so there should be enough oil to get the heating on,he said he had been doing that for a while already as he couldnt afford oil,wtf?he doesnt even have a car and he works away most of the time.
he has to fill his tank now and buy a new lock,then get me a crate of beer,all cos he wanted to put off buying oil.

 

Fuck you

The BM is under a foot of snow in my drive

You'd only find a sierra or a zx10 in the garage

 

i had to pull the wifes 1 series out of our 0% gradient driveway on my own with the mondeo,hopeless in the snow unless you have some momentum.
