Defeating a Yale Lock (Old video)

Wow, this video takes me back to 2006! At my last house the lock on the garage door had some "slop" and I recorded my first video showing how to open doors like this with a plastic credit card.

Oh boy, I did not expect the comments I received about this being "fake". And this was years before "Fake news" hit the headlines (ha ha). It's had 65k views in 10 years, which isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things, but I find it amusing that people still watch it and troll. It's fun to play with the trolls.

    Having a few hours to spare in the workshop lets you just create something that you don't have to think too hard about building.
