How to remove a deadbolt.


My wife and I locked ourselves out of the house on Sunday so I had to break in through the garage. The door was dead bolted but I managed to get it unlocked. Here are the easy steps to get into any deadbolt.
  1. Get hammer & screw driver
  2. Hammer screwdriver into lock to twist lock
  3. Cylinder pushes into housing
  4. Hammer large metal rod in to cylinder to knock it out
  5. Get drill and small metal bit
  6. Break drill bit
  7. Get larger bit
  8. Break larger bit
  9. Use biggest bit
  10. Break biggest bit
  11. Get jigsaw with metal saw blade
  12. Break metal saw blade
  13. Get large steel rod again and hammer it in
    as far as possible
  14. Take crescent wrench and turn 10 times
  15. Get Dremil tool with cutting blade to cut now exposed bolts
  16. Take dead bolt off
  17. Use needle nose pliers to pull lock out
  18. Presto
  19. Clean up pieces of metal
