medeco lock

[Mr Ules]

I was wondering if anyone knew if a medeco pin tumbler could be drilled.
The reason I'm asking is because the lock I'm trying to drill doesn't have a definite shear line. If it does, there must be a cover overtop of the shear line. This was probably a security measure.

Yes they can be, I had to drill one once when working with a locksmith. It is a real pain, first you must drill until you hit the anti-drill piece of metal. Then, use a dremel and drill around the anti-drill piece and take it out. Next, drill out the sidebar. After that, you need to get around the top anti-drill piece at the top, then drill it like a regular lock.

Thanks but under the circumstances I think I just may make a key for it.
