Just been watching one of those cops with cameras TV shows. Cops raided a suspected drugs den in a flat in Plymouth, broke the door down with the big red key. The search obviously took some time & one of the brief film shots seemed to show a locksmith removing the old eurolock. It was a very brief clip, but he seemed to have removed the door handle & faceplate leaving about an inch of the eurolock exposed. He adjusted a large adjustable spanner to fit the eurolock body & applied a few sharp horizontal jerks - and the lock seemed to break in half. Just watched a repeat of the show. The handle & faceplate were present, the eurolock protruded by a small amount & was easily snapped off. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |
