hey youtubers welcome back for another
adventure
so this is going to happen to everyone
sooner or later
you have a file cabinet and you don't
have the key
now i don't recall exactly where this
came from
it looks like one i would buy because i
like the smaller draws and then one big
one
the big one's good for power tools
the smaller ones are good for the hand
tools
so i might have bought it i'm not quite
sure why i would have bought it without
a key
but or maybe
while moving it around i pushed it in i
don't recall if there's anything in it
so why don't we uh drill the lock and
find on out
so when you drill the lock you want to
do it very carefully you really don't
want to break the bit
in there because it then you got to try
to get the bit out of there and you
really don't want to make too much of a
mess
anyway this bit is
probably
a little smaller than a quarter bigger
than an eighth
so 3 16
yeah that's probably it yeah i would say
this bit's around 3 16.
so we're gonna give it a shot okay
here we go hopefully i can position
myself and the drill and everything else
so that you all could see anyway this
round piece is what
turns within the lock and you want to
try to center yourself as much as
possible
on that and then once again i'm starting
with uh 3 16 and i'm probably
going to upsize it once i get this in in
there
once again you want to try to center up
in the lock as much
as possible
then
ah
ah
good
okay i'm going to upsize the bit and
we'll finish this up
okay i upsized a bit to about 3 8
and just for a laugh
depending on how many tumblers are in
here and so forth
i gave it a little try it doesn't want
to turn
sometimes um after one pass with the
drill
the um these little brass things
little brass fingers that are actually
part of the lock they get out of the way
and
things will open but not the case with
[Music]
this
almost not quite
i probably upsized the bit a little too
much
closer
i'm gonna put a little smaller bit in it
and i think it'll go right in
clean the guts out and we'll be done
okay here we are 5 16.
hopefully this one wraps it up
okay
so
okay let me just get a pair of vice
grips
i should be able to wiggle it right out
of there
okay i upsized again to
7 16.
you guys can see i more or less have it
out
and
i got drill bits i don't know could i
show this to you
this looks like stuff i would have put
in here
so let's assume i did that's cool
nothing and nothing
so at the minimum i got a file cabinet
back again
um this is a little sharp i'm going to
clean this up
um quite honestly i think i think i'm
just going to cut it
right off because i don't want to lock
this anymore
if i do need to lock it i'll just put a
um
you know bracket on the bottom bracket
on the top rod through it with a lock on
it
so there we are bringing a um
file cabinet back to life i want to
