[Shop-talk] locked out of my garage

[Pat Horne]

Oops, I forgot to send this to the list.

---------------------------

Cutting  the knob off would get you access to the strike inside the 
door. If you have access to a slide hammer, screw it into the lock 
cylinder and pull it. You may need to run a drill bit into the key slot 
to make it large enough for the screw. Slide hammers can be picked up at 
some auto parts houses for free on loan. Either way you will need to 
replace the lock set.

Peace,
Pat
