    Thanks so much for this video. Had a deadbolt on a playhouse for my children which we haven’t been able to get into for close to 4yrs because we never had a key. After hours of trying other RUclips methods of picking the lock I finally looked for a drill method. I’m glad to report that the playhouse is finally open after following your instructions!!!!!! Thanks so much 💪🏾💯‼️‼️‼️

    Use a 1/4’’ drill bit. It fits perfect into those screw mounts. And on some of the deadbolts there is a plate that covers the bolt holes. When you start drilling the first hole that plate will pop off revealing both bolt holes. Pretty easy after that.

    Use a small flat head and pop the front cover off, then you can see the screw holes, use a smaller size drill bit and it’ll catch on the screws and basically unscrew them. I’ve done it many times, I can open a deadbolt in 10 seconds.

    I also am an apt. Maintenance man and I've had to do this 3 times but the drill buts are never hard enough to drill out the ends of the screws so I have to beat them loose with a punch h and a hammer. Even then they don't let go so I have to reach in with needle nose pliers to break out the slide and move it out the way to pull the bolt back. The only slack I get is when the bezel comes loose.
