| 723591 | 2008-11-27 19:44:00 | When it's all fixed remember that anyone else could do this too.That thought had crossed my mind :annoyed: although I'm hoping the dog that either roams our yard or is locked in the garage will give "anyone else" a run for their money if they try anything. He's not the friendliest dog in the neighbourhood to anyone doing things he thinks isn't right (like the power meter reader!) That all said, I might need to look for alternatives for my getting into the garage when I need to, and somehow fixing it so others can't get in the way I did. cheers, Mike. |

| 723593 | 2008-11-28 07:40:00 | i cant believe nobody suggested kicking the door in, if you had no key youd have to get one made (which isnt cheap, recently had van key made $110) for that you could get a pretty reliable lock with 2 keys from bunnings, solves 2 problems with one swift kick |

Now that I'm able to open the door, we're gonna take the lock out and take it to them. I imagine that trying to kick the door in would only have resulted in my injuring my foot/leg. The doors on my house are rather secure and solid, as are the locks... ... except for the garage door it seems ;) Mike. |

| 723596 | 2008-11-28 11:04:00 | Kicking the door in? The door jamb is worth far more than the window. But I'm amazed that the first stop wasn't the hollywood one. I'm with pctek on this one, all due concern for the dog aside, it's funny as hell. |

| 723597 | 2008-11-29 02:59:00 | Hi Hueybot3000. At a guess your van key has a chip in it. Most modern vehicles have them now days. An ordinary key costs roughly $10 to cut. |

| 723598 | 2008-11-29 05:39:00 | Somehow I just never think that anyone is six-hours away from anyone else on that tilted tectonic plate . If you live in/on NZ, then tyou should all be in visual contact with each other . Maybe you have slow cars . BTW: I hear Metla will go anywhere for a six-pack of Killian's Red Light . Thats the problem with NZ, you got drive for hours between towns . Unlike aussie where you could be driving for days, its only hours here . |

An ordinary key costs roughly $10 to cut. i know this way old now but just to explain key broke in lock so guy had to make a key to fit it or whatever, and remove half of old key |
