Drilling out a lock is a destructive method of opening a lock by creating a hole in the lock cylinder and then using a screwdriver or other tool to turn the lock’s internal mechanism. This method is typically used when the lock is damaged or the key is lost.
Drilling out a lock can be a difficult and time-consuming process, but it is often the only way to open a lock without damaging the surrounding area. If you are not comfortable drilling out a lock yourself, you can call a locksmith to do it for you.
