Where is the "general concensus" documented? Certainly not in the forum rules.I thought the general consensus was that we don't provide information on how to bypass security, which would allow people to potentially break in to a property?
This topic hadn't provided housebreaking advice - the information provided was to help someone remove and replace a Euro lock.What is even worse, is that anyone can read this information even as a guest, so perhaps this information would have been better put in a PM!?
That's not fact, it's your opinion.It is extremely foolish to provide advice to everyone that reads this post on how to quickly and efficiently remove a door lock with a drill.

My opinion is that it's foolish to think that burgler don't already know.
I know how to do it and I'm neither a burgler nor a locksmith.
I suspect he did it with a bump key, which is how the more successful burgler does it.i watched a locksmith(he hated me for doing it )gain entry to a double glazed back door where i work and he didnt drill it,but it only took him about 20seconds to get in
Personally I have no problem with the fees that competent locksmiths charge. Many of them experience significant gaps between callouts, and commonly work unsociable hours, and yet have to carry enough stock to deal with problems expediently. And that's all on top of gaining the not inconsiderable skills in the first place.i was amazed as they charged about 100 quid with a new lock fitted and he was there total 15 mins.
It doesn't need clarification - he's a uPVC repairer, not a lock repairer.You now tell us you have been working on these items for a number of years. If that is the case you would already know how to remove the cylinder even with broken keys in it? Can you clarify!
