This House Hasn't Been Touched Since 1978 (What We Found)

What happens here

Upon arrival, the team realizes the garage power is off, making entry difficult. They attempt to use a garage door opener without success and find all exterior doors and windows locked. To avoid damaging new windows, they opt to demolish the front door lock to gain entry, as the door will be replaced anyway. A cordless drill is used to drill through the lock mechanism, allowing the deadbolt to disengage and the door to open.

Goal: Access the locked house without damaging new windows.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill DeWalt — Drilling out the door lock
  • Drill Bit — Drilling through the lock mechanism
  • Flathead Screwdriver — Assisting with lock removal
  • Hammer — Assisting with lock removal and general demolition
  • Safety Glasses — Protecting eyes from debris during drilling and demolition
  • Work Gloves — Protecting hands during demolition

get down to business. So, the garage is not working because the electricity was turned off . We will try to break into this house. Okay, it's locked. Yes, I highly doubt it. Arena says he's working to turn on the power in Idaho, but we really need the switch sooner. The garage door opener was a bit fickle. He may have to hold each button down longer than usual. Good. No. This is as slow as I can go. Not working. God, I was hoping. I remember we didn't lock those windows properly. So, we have several options for getting into this house. Or A, wait until the evening for them to bring the garage door openers, which we're not going to wait for. B, break into this house. Uh, the windows are all new, so I don't want to do that. But the door will be replaced. So, we can just kick this thing out. This is a great start to a day of demonstration. Ken, how are you doing with picking door locks? Because if we rip this out, I mean, like I said, we're still going to replace that door, so we could just... Yeah. I saw where they were observing where they had just drilled it. Yes. And then the key actually just falls apart. Did he go all the way through? No. The blade broke. So, you're saying this is some kind of car hacking, right? You 're trying to insert a flat key into the ignition coil, right? Yes. Not yet. Good. Open up, sesame. Look at this. Yes, we have no light. It was a problem with the garage. Quite impressive. Ken, you did it. Oh, it did n't even break. No, it didn't break, it got stuck. Ideally. So we're just installing another deadbolt until we decide to replace the door. Look at this. YouTube saves
