Emergency Lockout Challenge | Mr Locksmith
Emergency Lockout Challenge: Ever seen a Weiser lock with an Abloy insert? Check out my latest Emergency Locksmith challenge and how I handled it! I encountered a Weiser lock with an Abloy High Security Cylinder, a ProTac model that’s impossible to pick. Watch as I explain why drilling the mounting screws is the only option for this lockout situation.
Navigating a Difficult Lockout
Recently, I was called to handle a lockout. I was informed that the lock in question was a Weiser, which usually isn’t a big deal. However, upon closer inspection, I discovered that this particular Weiser lock had an Abloy High Cylinder insert. This is where the situation took an unexpected turn.
Abloy High Security Lock
Weiser locks are generally straightforward to handle, but the presence of an Abloy insert complicates matters significantly. Abloy locks are well-known for their high level of security and are specifically designed to be difficult to pick. The type of insert used was similar to a ProTac, making my usual lock-picking tools and methods ineffective.
Lockout Dilemma: Drilling Necessary
Given the sophisticated nature of the Abloy insert, I realized that picking the lock wasn’t going to be an option. After assessing the situation, I concluded that the only viable solution was to drill the mounting screws. This method, although unfortunate, was necessary to resolve the lockout without causing more extensive damage to the door or lock mechanism.
Overcoming a Lock Picking Obstacle
Lockout situations can vary greatly depending on the type of lock you encounter. While some locks are relatively straightforward to pick or manipulate, others like the Abloy insert can present a significant challenge, requiring alternative bypass methods.
