Ok, carry on. My friend is extremely anal about his tools. I finally told him I am going to use it and destroy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a smaller bit, drill until there isn't anything left to drill. Use a drill that is equal to the inside diameter of the threaded section of the lock barrel. Problem solved. Suggestion #2. Using an angle grinder, grind off the front of the lock and then simply push the remainder of the lock barrel into the box - Problem solved. Question - Will this eventually take as long to complete as the building of the deck? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the right equipment, 30 minutes. But keep talking Kazabooboo. I still aspire to be you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just hoping I have enough electrical extension to make it to the mailboxes which is a ways from my power outlet. you said it's raining, why not just wait for it to rust away? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead ★ Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share #64 Posted February 7, 2020 The final thing I have to say is that lock is tough. You can't break into it with a portable drill unless you have a couple hours. Thieves are lazy and take the easy path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around here thieves will back up to an ATM in a brick wall, weld a chain to it and drag it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
