Replace Yale lock wothout a key

The message from snipped-for-privacy@care2.com contains these words:

Not the clever sort with rolling bits and inset ballbearings etc.

easy to drill if you know what you are doing, could have some hardened pins but I doubt it. As someone suggested drilling a bloody great hole can only make it worse. There is another very quick but drastic way but you still need a wee bit know how.

and the other way is??

and hardened mushroom pins etc - but most dont have those features.

no-one really wants to say. If we do, there are more people that can break in to our houses. And then prosecute us when we boot them out.

If you can get access to the back of the lock barrel, you could push a curved piece of brass shim between the barrel and the hole it's in, at the side where the tumblers are. At the same time push the tumblers up one at a time with a hairclip until the shim slips past the tumbler. When the shim is right in, the whole tumbler can be removed. Careful of all the little springs that will then pop out. If you are very clever like me you can find an old key that goes into the barrel and move the tumblers around until that key works. :)

Isn't snapping them with a mole wrench the lattest thing?
