Who on earth does that? Never heard of this "prank" before. The only one i knkw is when kids stick a match into the classroom lock.
@@kukumalu255 The practice of trade is to apply glue. after the match
It totally works!! I just had to keep removing the key to prevent it from sticking inside and cleaning it every time to remove the glue that came out. Also had to heat up and rotate the key several times until it started to rotate smoothly. But you saved my life! Thanks!
Did you have to replace the lock afterwards? Or was the lock working fine?
I carried a hammer, pliers, heatgun, WD40 etc in my handbag just in case someone does my lock. The policeman didn’t believe that’s what they were for. Till I showed them your video.

This actually works! I didn’t know about this method till I tried it yesterday with nail varnish remover (saw that bit mentioned online) and a heat torch (which I thought must be worth a try to soften/burn out some of the glue). Didn’t have the pliers or hammer, so I ended up with a blister though!

You know acetone or some petroleum based lubes/degreasers break down superglue and turn it to goop. If you ever dont want superglue to stick to something give it a light coat of wd40.
@ZaC kWinz why? I use it on exterior locks frequently.
@ZaC kWinz interesting. I've used it on locks for years with no problems. I have padlocks that are close to 40 years old that I've used wd40 on since they were new.
@ZaC kWinz WD-40 works just fine in locks, although they have that as a brand name now over a few different products the WD-40 spray works just fine. In 18 years as a locksmith I have never seen a lock damaged by it, however I have had MANY lockouts and destroyed locks due to graphite... which is an industrial waste product they used to have to pay to get rid of, it does have a few uses as a dry lube but in a lock? NEVER! It just makes a complete mess of things and actually accelerates wear and jams into every nook and cranny... which is bad because locks have very tight little spaces in them where it can slip past and really jam things up. The only thing you put in locks is either grease or oil, and in fact most quality locks using mostly or all brass parts are DESIGNED to work best when completely clean and dry, which I can get pretty close to by spraying in expensive QD CRC quick dry contact cleaner after flushing out all the crap with cheap WD-40, what can really go wrong is with old school lever locks and automotive locks which use grease in their mechanisms... the graphite turns into a paste and becomes abrasive and will eat away at the wafer channels for said locks and when they wear too much they get crooked in the slots in the plug and jam up and the only way to fix it is to trash the lock, and some automotive locks can be hundreds of dollars.
@ZaC kWinz theoretically you might be right, but irl this is pure bs. How much sand/dust is going inside the lock that it would be needed to grind the pins? Maybe you would need a lifetime of inserting in and out the key to wear out the lock
It's the solvent in wd40 that breaks down stuff like superglue,the oils that bust keep stuff from adhering.Cheaper to use solvent
Fantastic👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Now this'll have superglue pranksters switching to epoxy
No, epoxy softens and burns when heated to high temps.
@@electronicsNmore I'm learning so much randomly interesting stuff on RUclips. Clearly heat wins! Thanks
@@electronicsNmore And will turn into one solid chunk of carbonaceous material that's rock hard... Lock is broke forever.
Epoxy was invented earlier than the super-glue, it is well-known more than 80 years, and I still don't see it as this prank tool. Maybe that's because it's quite difficult to mix the components and inject it with some tool while you may be captured in any moment?
Can the lock be salvaged, or will it need replacing?
Many times it can be salvaged. Thanks for watching! Be sure to rate thumbs up and share.
@@electronicsNmore In the real world a lock once glued is toast. You will never get all the glue out of the internals even if you soak it for weeks in acetone, the stuff just turns to goo and when you take it out it hardens back up again. Some of the gaps that it will wick into are only a couple thousanths of an inch.
@@kg4boj The thing is that if you can get it open, you could disassemble the lock completely and clean the parts individually. There may be other methods but that would definitely work with enough determination. Albeit I'd probably skip the work and just buy a new lock.
Someone glued my fuel cap keyhole on my car. I followed your instructions but the car exploded and burnt my face.

It's a pretty common rookie mistake. Just practice on other cars in order to get your technique down.

Nice video bro!
Merci au top !!! Ça a marché
Never heard of people super glueing locks. What kind of people do you hang out with? 😂
Thanks for the video. Now I know what to do, if I start hanging out with the wrong people... Or decide to delay someone’s entry 😆
It spans across the social spectrum. But poorer kids will not buy Super Glue...they just get a rock and break your windows.
You must live in Mayberry
I did not realize that super glue ( Krazy Glue ) would soften when heated , Yes I agree , thank you for the time , expense , of doing a video like this .
On the good point , I do have a 2nd door I can get into my house . I do have WD-40 on hand too , I have a torch too ( keep the flame low enough right ? ) But most of all , Thank You !
Apply enough heat to get the glue to soften up, and don't inhale any fumes.
@@electronicsNmore I live in a very small community , hopefully nothing like this will happen , but if I does , I know what to do to get in and open the door without kicking it in , destroying the woodwork etc , and thanks for the heads up of not inhaling the fumes , I've got enough breathing problems !
I make sure to put a metal at the end glued with the Cyanoacrylate to minimize the chances to key insertion , thank you very much !
No, once fully heated, you can pull out the metal piece using needlenose pliers.
Next fill it with flex seal.
I have people coming in my house.I think they are picking a deadbolt on a door i dont usually use,If i put something in the deadbolt on the outside would i still be able to open the lock on the inside?
Nice 👍
Just yesterday, someone put cyanoacrylate glue throughout the dials on my combination lock to my gym locker. Not exactly the same as in a keyhole, but it did sieze up the 4 rotary dials and required me to use a pair of needle nose pliers and spring-loaded hole punch to get them rotating enough so that I could enter the correct code and remove the lock. The lock, which is now pretty much ruined, was a very nice Squire shutterlock with 11 mm boron-steel alloy shackle and solid steel body, with a plunger to autoretract the shackle. I even put a 7/8 diameter stainless steel spacer over the small exposed portion of the shackle so that even if someone did manage to have some 42" lock breakers or hydraulic lock breakers, they wouldn't succeed at getting in. People get their locks cut with some regularity at the gym, but it's usually the small locks. In my case, I have a feeling that I may have invited a spiteful individual to apply the glue because they saw my unusually beefy security and said "you know what, I'm gonna mess with this dude". But, what's the alternative: using a lock that looks like all the rest but that can be cut? Oh well. My next lock won't be as flashy, will use a standard keyed mechanism, will have a swappable key mechanism, I'll put a bunch of lubrication in the hole to prevent the glue from clinging to anything important, and I'll bear in mind the tricks and tips from this video. The incident was a good reminder that there really are such morons out that have nothing better to do with their lives than mess with people.
Hi just wondering if this would work on a combination padlock also
how many temperature the heat to broken ke super glue
THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH!!!! IT WASEASY
İnfo for prankers: glue the pins while you lift up so the springs can not push them down . This method will be much more difficult if the pins glued over set position.
Makes no difference, the heat will undo everything. Nice try.
@@electronicsNmore Makes a big difrence try it. When pins are glued in the up position glue will be protected with the thermal mass of the entire core. As you can not pull the pins down only the springs of the pins can pull them down so the hammer has no effect you need to burn down all the glue. Which is difficult in a lock body.
Very good for a lock that is with the pins UP, but does it work out on a lock with the pins DOWN? especially if the superglue has filled the pins channels? I would like to see that kind of lock tested
Get that lock hot enough, and it will free up.
This is exactly why you use two part Epoxy.
No good, it turns to rubber and burns when heated.
@@electronicsNmore This is exactly why you would use two part Epoxy is because you will never be able to free up the lock set.
Why not jam a couple of small brad nails in there while you're at it. Superglue all the way around the door too if they really pissed you off. Maybe a couple of clutch head screws through the frame into the door for good measure.
JBWeld
Super glues not really great because it's so thin. The best thing is pick up some PL premium 10x and calktheir entire door shut and squish it in the lock. That's that sets up as strong as epoxy and is almost impossible to remove without grinding it with power tools
Acetone and a syringe with a blunt 24-gauge needle works very well and is less dangerous. No toxic vapers or risk of 2nd-degree burns.
If they lock the door 5 mints after the glue is put in. Would it still work and stop them being able to open the door?
When a was younger some people would do that but they would glue some match sticks in their in stead of just glue don't know if you have a fix for this maybe a small drill bit to clear out the wood inbetween heating it a few times may do it
I wonder if the heat pushes all the grease out of the core.
Smart man
Thanks for watching! Please share.
Last night someone inserted something inside my lock at the top it looks black. How do i dig it out? I cant get my key in. Its on a rod iorn gate.
Heated the lock with a torch, door caught fire, then the building burnt down. Was finally able to get inside though, thanks
LOL. I expected a comment like that.
Some maggot done this to my workshop lock yesterday I drilled through the super glue with a 1 mill drill bit and used nail polished remover to break the glue down then I picked the glue out with pick tools I wish I had seen this video it would have saved me a whole day of picking denatured super glue out what a headache
I glued a lock years ago
You didin't mention if the lock becomes normally usable again or do you have to replace it after the entry is regained?
The lock will work again, but it will definitely feel tight. You'd need to open the lock like I show in other videos, clean out the glue, lubricate it, and put it back together. Thanks for watching!
Replace the lock.
You can try to save it by soaking the lock in acetone, then rinsing with fresh acetone, then lubricate the mechanism, then spray some clear coat on it to protect the finish.
@@OverTaxed42Long I would blow out the gum and acetone a few times with compressed air to help clear the goo.
@@OverTaxed42Long The finish on these locks is clearcoated brass/plastic foil that goes over them. The finish won't last, clearcoat is only gonna make it worse, and in the real world when this happens they squeeze the tube in there and it gets into the bible (upper pin stack and springs) and in deadbolts the pin on the back that tighents the tailpiece to it, and soaking in acetone won't get it out of every nook and cranny. I've tried letting locks sit in acetone for weeks and taking them apart and trying to ream out the pin chambers from the top, but the lock will never work right again. You might as well just get a drill and drill at 3 and 6 with a 1/4" bit and the door lock will easily fall of the door. If you really need a guide you can just take a deadbolt thumbturn and put it against the outside of the lock face and it will show you exactly where to drill. Once a lock's been glued it's screwed. No point trying to save it. In this video there is just a tiny amount in the lock and it didn't drip in past the tailpiece or wick up into the pinstack bible.
Don't force the key if don't want to turn. Some keys are easy to bend.
Correct! If the key is too hard to turn, that means you didn't heat up the core enough. Below is my "Locksmith & Bypass Tools" video playlist which you may like. Please share. Thanks for watching!

This is all well and good till done inexperienced knucklehead burns down his house. On another note, one must be careful especially when using a pliers, not to bend and break the key off in the lock. Then you just replaced one problem with another. Great tip though, thank you for taking the time to show this.
Use nail polish remover. It disolves the glue.
No it doesn't
I never thought about super glue into a lock welp my boss is ganna hate u 😂
Will any key work ? When you put it in the cylinder once you melt glue
Hi Rudy. You need to use the key that was made for the lock. Thanks for watching!
Are you really that slow?
So what was the lube for?
To make the key slide easier into the heated up keyway. The dried glue becomes a little tacky when heated.
I guess i missed that part
Surely the way to do it is use super glue then force a similar key into the keyway and snapped off with pliers So not only glued in but forced in as well. Would like to see that solved so easy
Or a drawing pin 😁
Last night a nasty squatter at my RV that I rent out put a whole bunch of CG in the ignition switch. Any suggestions? I'm going to try a Wagner heat gun but will probable melt the plastic "wings" typical on any ignition but I don't care as long as I can start it up. Maybe I'll put a little acetone before heating it up and deal with the fumes? Any suggestions you tubers?
Not good......buy some crazy glue debonder. Squirt inside, and allow to soak in a few hours to soften up the CG.
@@electronicsNmore Not sure where to get the debonder but I'll look around. Thanks for the tip
That's all fine and dandy. "IF" you carry that stuff with you in your vehicle. Apartment dwellers normally don't carry this stuff. They just call maintenance.
I assume will have to change the lock after defeating the superglue or can you do for the cleaning
Many times it can be disassembled and cleaned. Thanks for watching!
Trashed 100% real locksmith here.
Use solvent to dissolve the glue. You might want to cover the paint/plastic near by first.
It does work, but it takes a while to really soak in, and having the key opening vertical instead of face up, doesn't help. Be sure to watch and share my "Locksmith & Bypass Tools" video playlist below. Thank you!
ruclips.net/video/ErpS7C4gUVA/видео.html
Cool
Would any of the glue still be inside? Would it burn off ?
A good amount remains.
Nail polish remover or acetone which is the same will do the job
But it takes longer to soak into the glue, isn't easy to apply because the keyway isn't laying flat, and you can damage the finish of the door, lock, or floor if it drips. Thanks for watching!
@@electronicsNmore I had a colleague nearly lose his sight from desoldering wires that were coated with this type of glue. The fumes are far more toxic than burnt plastic... You should mention this!
I made it VERY clear in the video to avoid ALL fumes.
Wrong.
Jerry K, ordinary nail polish remover will barely affect the glue, it does not have the same solvents as pure Acetone.
I didn’t know this was a problem please explain where this happens?
Where? LOL Really? How about anywhere.
How about heating key red hot and jam it in lock ?
No good.
Someone put a key into my glue, any suggestions on how I can get it out?
Heat the pliers and use the hammer to hit the pliers on the glue bottle
In our locality, people are super creative & instead of super glue,they insert fine-grained cement dough. I have advised a local lock manufacturer to have a preventive to this Bcoz the method outlined above won't work in this case. It's a kind of flap which fits over the hole in a unique design.

When I worked at the local university, some turd or turds did this very thing to every exterior door at the arts and science hall just before exam time. Guess they thought if no one could get in, no exams. Don't know exactly what they used in the keyway but heat and lube did the trick. Of course it had to be winter.
Not surprising. Thanks for watching!
I have never even heard of people doing this but it doesn't surprise me much. Hope I'll never live in an area where I have to use this trick.
Unfortunately it happens all over. Thanks for watching!
Good video. I'm a locksmith. I've been heating super-glued locks to get them open since the 1970s, so it's not a new problem. Cyanoacrylate glue starts to soften around 160 degrees F., and breaks down a smokes above 180. I skip the gloves & hammer. I hold the key with locking pliers & insert when hot enough. Lube just adds to to the smoke. It's too hard to get the liquid acetone to stay in the keyhole to open it, but good for cleaning disassembled lock after it's off the door.
I only apply a very thin film to the key to help it slide easier. You're 100% correct regarding the acetone. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
@Stewart James WD-40 is a short term lubricant as it gets things moving=lubricant. What it does not do is give long term lubrication and protection. I used to know a mechanic that called it the vehicle testers friend, as it allowed bearings to run dry over time, and then the owner would take it to a repairer for a new bearing!
WahooLee
@Stewart James
It's a fantastic lubricant for motorcycle cables, haven't broke one in 20 years since I started using it, prior to that I'd brake a clutch cable every 2 to 3 years, so yea, it's a lubricant.
@Stewart James WD-40 Is a lubricant in that it makes things move with its liquid composition, so short term it is a lubricant, it helps things move which is what a lubricant does. The problem is that WD-40 evaporates in a matter of days, which true oil does not. Then it stops being a lubricant and the item then seizes up!
That spiteful individual may also put in paper clips as well as glue. About 50 years ago we used to do things like that to our teachers.
True, then you'll also need tweezers. :-)

I "know someone" that did this shit at a certain private school they went to before leaving to a public school. lol. Tuition went up that following year. lol.
The tuition was going up anyway, it goes up every year, never down.
Heat cycling, drill bit, percussive maintenance, solvents... you forgot to mention forcing graphite (e.g. pencil lead) in there works 2x better than WD40 though (use both if it's glued tight)
Graphite is THE WORST THING you can put in a pin tumbler lock. It cakes up and will actually make a little dam that hardens in the back of the lock and can quickly ruin them, the only reason they sell it as a lock lube is one more "job" they say it can do by labeling it on the package. In reality it's an industrial waste product they used to have to pay to get rid of. And the real kicker is once your lock breaks after you've used graphite on it when you take the lock out it's going to get all over the damned place. Just use WD-40 or any old oil it will work fine. Been a locksmith my entire working life, can't tell you how many locks I've seen ruined because of the stuff and when it does break and you're locked out I charge 25$ extra because of the hell of a mess it makes.
Thanks for this. One note though: WD-40 is not a lubricant, it is a water displacement formula with some lubricating properties. It's no accident that this product is sold as a 'multi-use product' and says nothing specific about being a lubricant-because it is not.
Incorrect Matt, refer to the company link below. "Lubricates Almost Anything" Thanks for watching!
www.wd40.com/products/smart-straw-12-oz/
@@electronicsNmore That is a new marketing claim and we know how that can be.
I stand by my statement. Note that they cleverly don't come right out and label it as a lubricant anywhere, including the can.
This because it is not an actual lubricant but a Water Displacement (WD) formula that has some lubricating and penetrating properties-but neither of these uses are claimed directly.
It is not a lubricant of choice for most applications, being too thin for use beyond light duty and to claim it prevents rust is almost a joke.
It WILL prevent rust, as any similar petroleum product coating a metal surface will, but it is very short lived protection so that claim is even more of a stretch, it will not endure any environmental exposure for any significant amount of time.
Good video though, much appreciated!
Much better to snap off a piece of a paper clip in the lock then glue it in never get it out
I have dealt with AssHats that do this a bunch. Ex-employees is a big one seen entire buildings with this done.
Thanks for sharing this tip with us all
Thanks for watching!
Why not snap off a section of hardened steel instead? Unusable lock, will mess up drill bits. Ease of access I suppose.
Locks are usually made of brass which is easily drillable. Also locksmiths often use super hard drill bits which are not normally available to the general public at a DIY store.
Alternative way:
heat up the key, piece it into the key hole with a plier.
Heating the key on its own will likely not soften the glue enough to get the key in the keyway
Good point. I will no longer use superglue. I will use epoxy.
Why bother? This method also works with epoxy resin. LOL
@@electronicsNmore Very well then, I will use Portland cement.
🤔 How do you get superglue of coins that were glued together? How long should it sit.?
Heat, but don't make them too hot, or they will melt. They also sell crazy glue debonder to soften cured glue.
@@electronicsNmore thank you 😊
What if they use jb weld instead
JB can't take high heat either, it gets very soft. Thanks for watching!
You need to replace the lock after you regain entry to the place the lock was glued
As most of the time the key was glued into the lock
You can clean it if you disassemble the lock. Thanks for watching!
@@electronicsNmore Not if it gets up into the bible. This will work if someone put a little drop or what not that keeps the key from getting in there, but every single lock I've had that has been superglued in the last 18 years, doesn't matter how much you take it apart and start scraping at it or soaking in acetone for a week, the lock might sorta kinda work, but it WILL fail on you shortly. Probably because when people glue locks in the real world they don't just use a drop in the front of the keyway, they squeeze it in there and the surfaces will be corroded galled and pitted. If you do this to a commercial door like a narrow stile commercial door you scrap the whole lock assembly and not just the cylinder that screws into it either meaning it's a 150$ (my cost for replacement mortise lock, your cost is twice that :-) ) lock just so you can lock up your store but that doesn't include trip charge (95$) or labor (45$) or the new mortice cylinders 45$ each(x2) ... If you do it to a fancier door with say a concealed vertical rod device... woah, you are talking 1000$ for a replacement lock for something like a jackson 88 concealed vertical rod setup just for the hardware alone.
Hello Doug. Now that would suck ! Thank you for sharing this important video.
Step one Find person.
Step two. Crazy glue their hands to certain body parts. Drop off in public place. Lol.
All my best.
