My keys were stolen so I need to drill it. I can't have some dood walking around with the ability to drive my truck away. Thank you for the technique!!

[@antonkhaitov6039]

This type of lock you can take out easily without damage

[@aaronozment3996]

And how do you do that?

[@bethbabson913]

Mine broke in the only the air on stage. I thought it could get complicated if no tools anymore. I was hoping just get basic set and keep with vehicle. To think had 1000s of tools and not even one left.

Mine is almost completely hollow still wont turn do I have to drill deeper

[@daddydiysolutions]

It’s got to turn to be able to come out.

[@Ezstreet327]

You've probably have a new key switch to install, you measure the depth of the new one (key length) and drill accordingly. Assuming you've already completed this task, it may come in handy for those seeking knowledge in the future.
