Julio Cruz posted:Hi UKMT. I had a bit of an accident with my front door key: Is the door open? If so you can take the lock cylinder out and then you should be able to push the broken key out from the back with a paper clip. e: Follow the first few steps of this guide to disassemble it: https://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/changinglockbarrel.htm, also while you have it open put a bit of grease or oil on it to stop this happening again. goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Sep 1, 2018 |

Julio Cruz posted:Hi UKMT. I had a bit of an accident with my front door key: Do you have access to the other side? You can push it out with a nail or a piece of chicken wire if so. Otherwise, kinda difficult, but you could shimmy it out with a safety pin slightly bent at the last 2-3 millimeters.

As you posted this between my post and my edit I'll repeat it here just in case you missed it: https://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/changinglockbarrel.htm - follow the first few steps here to get the barrel out then just push the broken key out with a paperclip from the other side.

For the record the inside of the lock looks like this:  I was considering unscrewing the two screws and seeing what happens but I don't want it disintegrating into pieces leaving me with no idea how to put it back together.

I've unscrewed the screws and the lock box is loose but is still being held on by a rivet (?) on the right hand side, you can see it in the first picture.

If your friends don't drive then you're already a magician for being able to make the metal box go. Motorway driving as others have said is easy but dull, having company makes that bit easier.

I just drove into my town center and got lost twice because every bit of road has its own loving layout and lane rules. I hate driving in town, really would rather take the bus. Godspeed you brave soul.

That's a hell of a loving URL shortening. Was wondering what the gently caress you were suggesting for a moment. I mean yes you can invalidate most locks with a bullet-powered nail driver as youtube has clearly shown to me but I don't think it would improve the situation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wimo09WV-rY&t=230s OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Sep 1, 2018 |

I had to hastily reverse back up a tram line in Bordeaux with a smirking french tram man about 6 feet in front of me the whole time. Cars and city centres aren't the best combination. Chuck in a moron and its a disaster waiting to happen.

Cars and city centres aren't the best combination. Chuck in a moron and its a disaster waiting to happen. It's quite navigable but every junction has a different lane you need to be in to go in each direction, bus lanes start and stop at random, and the traffic planners like to keep terminating lanes and merging them together every now and then just to slow the traffic down. Which makes it very hard to drive around if you don't have the layout memorized. I almost went backwards down a one way because the junction, for some odd reason, requires you to take the second exit to go right, but if you want to get back out of the same junction, you have to turn into the left fork which is bus lane only the other direction,then hook sharp right at the end.  Like it works fine but it's not an easily communicable layout and like every bloody junction it's completely unique. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Sep 1, 2018 |
