looks like unless you can find a different video, it might be time to
call a locksmith / door specialist.

"Spammer" is not the correct word, but Troll is....
I agree, all houses have at least 2 doors. And how is the guy able to
post this without getting inside to use his computer? Granted, he could
be using a public computer or a neighbors, but by the time he posted
this, he could have gone to a hardware store or locksmith for advice and
tools..... Or crawled into a basement window, or something. Plus, the
lock generally can not be removed from the outside. The screws are
always inside.....
