Youve got an empty 1950s-60 flat you need to open and change the locks on. The 1st floor baloncy door is locked.an old critall /metal door with the lock seemingly built into the door,youve lost youre picks,wires etc and your boss will kill you if you get the black and decker out.How do you get it open/find a key

what kind of lock is it? mortice, yale type of thing?...

by **acl** » 15 Apr 2005 17:37

Its a mortice lock ,its in the middle rail of old critall doors,the only place it would go as the rest of the door is glass or very thin metal.I know it by a certain name but that may give the game away

i dont know the name of the door and stuff, but google here i come and i'll have a think about it! are you saying you have no real tools to pick it with or what?

can you go back to the shop and get more picks or different tools or?...

wow, i really dont know much about picking! :lol:

by **acl** » 15 Apr 2005 18:05

No picking involved whatsoever imagine someone has stolen all your tools bar a shrp screwdriver .Id be suprised if google had the answer (although you may prove me wrong)

screwdriver+glass in door=entry, the use the screw driver to attach the mdf to close it again :lol:

could you take the door apart is its metal? i dont know, its a good job im not a locky really...

i think that you could go to your car get some wood and the car jack and jack the frame and pop the door

Unless you have seen one of these locks the answer may not be obvious ... :lol:

No framejacking,as i said just a small screwdriver or bit of emery paper?
Maybe Pauls right im thinking its an easy one but then i do this for a living and ive seen loads of the poxy things.
apologies to those who havent seen one of these but when you do this could save you a bit of time.

Ok after a word with Chris maybe im being a little unfair in not giving you a name so.. What youre looking at is a panel lock,i always knew them by a different name BGA locks, now that should do make it simpler.
