Reminds me of Swiss cheese. :?
Looks nice, but did the guy who did this get in, or where you called in because it was still locked??

I have seen similar attempts that didn't work, even after they've been busy for about an hour.

The 2 holes above the top of the keyway make me laugh most, are there any locks with drill points there ? Even my worst first jobs have only had 2 holes most how do these guys do it ?

Maybe these are the guys who can contribute some really good info to the "which drill is best" threads as im sure they get through some batteries :lol:

Looks almost like he was trying to turn it into a cutaway lock :)

I agree ,what on earth is he hoping to find with those two holes. He obviously has never had one apart.
It was a maintenance guy im told. He mustve got it open as he took it into a mates shop saying "do you have one like this?" to which he got the reply"not exactly no"
