Asiacat Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I've closed my bedroom door and it's locked itself and I don't have a key for the door. I need an electric drill to drill through the lock, is there anywhere in Pattaya I can hire one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunta71 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have a drill motor and many bits. PM me and you are welcome to use it. Or get a locksmith come and open it while making you a couple of new keys. I have been learning Thai and learned this: "up to you!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmer Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 That's real drastic, get a locksmith to open it for you, much less mess, one in Theppasit that I have used for this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semper Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 A good kick with your foot will solve the problem. You have to by a new lock though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haggis66 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 If it's the type that have a button on the inside then there is another possible solution. This happened to me and being a carpenter i tried the DIY thing. Try to remove the round cover plate that hides the screws which should be easy. Inside if you look closely you will see a small hole/slit near where the handle joins the lock. Get something small like a screwdriver or knife, poke it in and try to move it. Probably made from a different grade of metal and may be a different colour. This should open the door as most standard bedroom door lock are not made to complicated. Good luck.

thaibeachlovers Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Are the hinges visible on your side of the door? If so, you should be able to punch out the pins and open the door that way. Otherwise, I agree with the locksmith suggestion, as the lock metal may be too hard for an ordinary drill, or if the bit breaks off in the lock you will have a real problem. Once sorted, suggest you keep a key hidden outside your bedroom to avoid a repeat episode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis66 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Asiacat, Hope you get the door open without too much hassle. Care to let us know what you did to get it open. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farangpattaya Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Usually, bedroom doors are from the "loose-fit-type" of doors. Take an old credit card and try to stick it between the door and the post, there where the locking-pin falls into the door post. The card is just flexible enough to find its way to the locking in. Did it several times and always with succes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asiacat Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Asiacat,Hope you get the door open without too much hassle. Care to let us know what you did to get it open. Cheers I went to a key guy in Soi Khaow Noi, he came to my house and unlocked it for B300. The locks still in one piece, I don't have a key but the door is now wedged firmly open.

soundman Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 A good kick with your foot will solve the problem. You have to by a new lock though. Don't know that this is such good advice. I tried the above once & not only did the lock come free from the door jamb, the door jamb came free from the wall, and about thirty bricks/blocks that were being supported by the door jamb came crashing down to the ground.
