    Spent many hours trying to remove a lock, understand the frustration the door owner must have felt. After watching your video took less than 1 minute to remove the lock, easy ! thank you so much

    Your video saved my life. Was wondering how I was going to remove unlocked barrels with no keys. I had no idea I could just snap them off like that, great tip and video. Thank you

    Bill you are an absolute bloody legend! I started pulling my lock apart and got to exactly this point! Annoyed that I might spend the rest of my night searching for a solution. But Bill has the answer to all of lifes problems!

    I had the key Bill, and the lock chamber would not unlock properly. I had to use this hack, used a wrench and a multi grip, abit of force and boom, it snapped right off. Your a legend , thanks so much.

    Wow. This saved me a lot of frustration and angst. Locked barrel, no keys and I thought I would have to cut apart with an angle grinder. Snapping worked brilliantly with no damage to door. New barrels readily available albeit now around $33.00 in Oz.

    It appears the cam won't release.
    I believe the old lock is Lockwood and I have a Bunnings Rolltrak to replace. Contemplating snap vs locksmith.

    Good vid, but on some doors, like mine, you have to make sure the latch is full engaged, other wise, even with a key, the lock is still stuck. Once the mall snip is pressed and the latch fully extended (as if it was locking the door) you can use the key to turn the cam and get the lock out.

      oh my gosh thank you! The lock was stuck, Cam was stuck, watched 20 videos on how to release the cam to the point of trying the snap off method, which I couldn't do as I have old hands, just didn't have the strength. Read your comment, hmm, I'll go check that and thank you that worked instantly. Now, off to Bunnings for a replacement handset

    Hi Bill, I need to cut the screen door handle area to make it bigger to fit a new handle. What can I use?

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  ปีที่แล้ว

      Depends on how much larger it needs to be. Sometimes I need to make the area larger just for the screws and I use a larger drill bit. If you need to make the whole area larger there is specialized tools ( punch) for this. The area would generally be covered by the face plates so in theory it dosnt need to be pretty.
