harv Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 right fellas gone and done a daft one . cleaned the hmr in the garage today with the rear door locked with a key in and slightly turned, i have gone into the house and shut the remote roller door and now the ******* thing wont re-open usng the remote fob. i have two fobs and tried both but this happens periodically and they need re programming!!! i have a spare key for the rear door but wont work because of the key in the other side? so i have a big problem as the marlin is still in the garage. options are 1) will drilling the lock out enable me to open the door? 2) can i turn the key in the lock from the otherside somehow? 3) smash a window as i dont know how to remove them? 4)get the benelli out and blow the hinges? any help would be much appreciated :unsure: thanks harv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorwullie Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 If you can't get in any other way pick route of least damage in. Cos you'll be paying to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STOCKY A391 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 harv, why not take the handle off of the door from out side and with a set of pliers turn the key or push it through onto the floor ? refit the handle and then with your second key unlock the door ?

gonk69 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 hi chap if you have a double glased window take a sharp chisel or knife to the trim where the putty would be on an old window) push it in till you see the trim lift slightly then using another knife graduly ease it out repeat on all trims then just remove the glass, east peasy, best of luck , matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bangs Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 What kind of door lock is it ? the old keyhole ones you can push the key back through, but if it's one of the more modern upvc door locks then you can't, is the beading on the back door internal or external ? if it's internal then as said previously a locksmith will probably be the cheapest option.

kev 1 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 The black rubber that is against the glass is not the place to put the knife, you should have a bead of plastick around the glass of about half inch wide, which should have a space between it and the door,providing it is glazed from the outside as some are on the inside,which is anti theft( more secure,to stop what you are about to atempt) ...Good luck...

gonk69 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 the black rubber will be behind the trim, trim is the angled piece of plastic it should lift out, dont be shy with it they can be very stiff,cheers matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christy Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Might sound a bit daft but any chance of gaining entry through the roof??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamW Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Don't drill the lock! you need a lock breaker (I have one here, but you are a little far away!) to break the lock, open the door, and replace lock! Do you have a half and half door, with glass at the top and white plastic at the bottom? it would be cheaper to break the plastic than anything else! Daft question: have you changed the batteries in the remotes? just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev 1 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 If its only 4inch brick work with no cavity,you could always smash a brick out and get your hand in which would be easy to fix after... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bangs Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Unless it's an old door the plastic trim beading will be on the inside, I reckon blowing the hinges off sounds the most fun, the rozzers might not agree though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamW Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Just had another though, if you do have plastic at the bottom, put a large hole-saw through it (big enough for your hand) reach for key.................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Is it a barrel lock or one of those old fashioned big key jobbies? If it's a mortice style lock get a Bic pen, take it apart and fill the narrow end with superglue. Push it in from the other side and set it onto the bar of the key. Wait a couple of minutes and turn the pen, job done! If it's a barrel lock it's a tough one. When a key is in the other side they can be a sod to move!

harv Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 the beadings on the inside its a half and half door, the brick has a breeze block behind it. the benellis looking favourite at the moment :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harv Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 glass and plastic, only a year old so modern barrel type lock, the mrs is doing one also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Harv - is this a Euro lock that is very common of double glazing units ? If it is, a locksmith will be able to pick the outer, catch the cam, and open, even with the key in the otherside. Very little options for you really, unless you go destructive, I prefer NDE myself, but it you thats locked out Hope you get it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 You live in N Yorks right? Give it 10 minutes and wait for a passing burglar to let you in or drop a small vagrant child down the chimney pot and get them to let you in. Hope this helps. The obvious answer is the 24 hour locksmith - they have seen it and done it all before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev 1 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Bash out the breeze block aswell, cheap as chips to repair... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamW Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Drilling and replacing the plastic will be far cheaper than calling a 24hr locksmith on a sunday night at 21:50, trust me, if I get a call now, I won't be leaving the house for much less than £120! Up to you chap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
