Have a lock on one of my vacuums that none of my Medeco keys works in, looks like I need to drill it out and don't want to pay the locksmith $100.00 +. Could use some suggestions, pm me, thanks.

I am the least technical guy on this forum and Randy's method was a snap and worked perfect!

All the thieves in my area just drill with any random bit, break it off on the lock, leave the money in the vault, and leave the rest for me to figure out!

Sorry for reviving this thread, but i recently had a number of vaults drilled into.

I tried drilling to pull the lock sidebar out on one of the vaults but i can't locate it since all the metals melts together from the drilling heat.

Does anyone know what was Randy's method or any tips and tricks?

I'm going to send you a PM Randy and Seattleguy. Thanks

I didn't reply because I never got a PM from you. You should have a PM now.

Randy's method worked perfectly. I feel like an idiot spending hours trying to drill it last week. Thank you.

Could someone forward this technique to me also. I PM'd Randy about a week ago and haven't heard from him.

Thanks

You've got it now. I don't check my PM messages everyday.
