Hey Bryan ... thanks ... here's the deal (and I would very much appreciate your help if you're available) ... and thanks also Focusracer for the drill bit advice.
Location = south Milton (Puppet, the lock is circa 2004, I'll search picking locks now) I was afraid drilling might not do it ... it seems like most manufacturers would protect against that sort of thing.
Locksmith? yeah, but we're all cheap so looking first for a DIY answer, they're coming home 2:30 Saturday, so I'm hoping to do it today
3-level townhouse - no windows on first level, have to climb the neighbours fence to get into the back yard (nice neighbour, not a problem)
Sliding door in back yard, could be pinned (not sure)
Someone posted something about jamming something into the lock and busting it that way, but I question whether that's much different than drilling
Booting the door is probably more expensive than a locksmith (I think - wouldn't it be?) - it's one of those steel clad exterior doors with a window
If that's the route to go, I'm 6'3" and 230 and still have my football thighs - but if you're bigger than that you get to go first (and lose some weight for gawd's sake!)
Okay ... so maybe the question is ... how would we go about getting in via the sliding door
Also ... how vulnerable is the lock in the garage door handle - assuming the interior door is unlocked, maybe that's an option.
