Many doors of apartment units have these really basic mechanical key locks -- the kind with the teeth.What's to stop some lone Anon from buying a pair of super-heated pliers, and spending an evening making an entire floor's doors unusable?Theoretically, you wouldn't even need to do much, right? All you need to do is heat the pliers and jam into a door lock. So long as the metal of the lock bends in any way that prevents a toothed key from working, you've done your job.Is it possible (in minecraft, of course)
How about this, I did it to my RA when I lived in the dorms. The dorms had those nice metal doors, with a metal frame, and they opened inward. So all I had to do was lean onto a door, real slowly and quietly, and shove some pennies in the widened crack between the door and the frame. Then I leaned out slowly and he was trapped in there and had to call somebody lol.
>>109601055HOLY BASEDIt's fucking disgusting how colleges and new build apartments are so easily broken. Goddamn Anon
>>109601062This was decades ago, they have not innovated doors and we lack Star Trek style sliding doors to this day in most places. Same trick still works 100%, it's why they're taking pennies out of circulation.
In other words you could do what you wanted, OP, without any heated anything, and a pocket full of change, if you wanted to seal people in, because by code doors have to open inward to facilitate the authorities bashing them. It's more sensible to have doord open outward such as most businesses do.
>>109601081>In other words you could do what you wanted, OP,woah woah woah i am merely asking for a friend :^)Wouldn't it naturally be a bigger pain in the dick to deal with a melded lock rather than some change? I mean, that would hurt a person's sense of security for sure if they couldn't lock their apt.
Another way you could do it is with epoxy, two part resin syringes that auto-mix are easy to buy and they will harden so hard in 15 minutes that a locksmith will be needed.
>>109601094>Injecting epoxy and resin into a handle lockdevious....
>>109601094Tell us more of this, Anon.
Another thing you can do with electronic locks is just hit 'em with a tazer, which you can buy in many states legally. Almost all of them are required to "fail open.">>109601096Well why use a heated up pliers? It'd take a long time to heat up brass to the point of melting a lock.
>>109601092>Wouldn't it naturally be a bigger pain in the dick to deal with a melded lock rather than some change?No, the locksmith will drill out the lock case and just replace it anyway.
>>109601102True, this person would need a way to heat the pliers first off anyway.Epoxy-resin in a syringe, injected into the little door lock, would be EXTREMELY nefarious>Almost all of them are required to "fail open."That's actually fucking insane. So a cop could just taze your door if they needed to sprinkle crack in your apartment?
>>109601110>That's actually fucking insane. No it's not, if there's a big emergency the door shouldn't remain sealed. Could trap people inside, it's a liability thing really.>So a cop could just taze your door if they needed to sprinkle crack in your apartment?It would fry it and I'm sure they have special ways to enter if they wish.
>>109601118BRB my friend is looking at tazers rn. Nothing evil, just pranks he says
Saltwater will also do in an electronic lock. Or salty soup. Anything salty. Pickle water.
How about an iron pin and bits of quartz gravel and just hammer a bit of gravel into each lock?
>>109601071Sliding doors are even easier to jam. If someone has ill intent, nothing's going to stop them.
>>109601101Not him, but J-B Weld is probably the most well-known and widely-available example, at least in the US. It's not specifically meant for rendering locks unusable, but it's meant to be, in a functional sense, as hard and as strong as the metal it's bonding to. You can get it at Walmart or Amazon, or quite likely at any hardware store or even auto parts store.>>109601102>electronic locks>Almost all of them are required to "fail open."I believe that's only when the lock, if unpowered, would block emergency egress. If you have, say, an electric strike combined with a mechanical lockset that can always be operated from the inside, I don't see why it couldn't fail closed/secure.
>>109601041Where are you going to plug the pliers in anon?
>>109601372J-B Weld is not to be fucked with my dude. Don't get that shit on your skin
Couldn't you just jam something in the lock to prevent the key going all the way in?
>>109601667So far ideas are>J-B weld in a syringe (best)>Taze the lock (the based)>Super-heat a pair of pliers and bend the lock so the key won't fit (keyed)>Pennies(?)>Salt water>Epoxy-resin
>>109601755I mean, just wad up some paper, why complicate it?
>>109601764>why complicate it?where do you think we are
>>109601772Yeah ok, point taken
i'm confused why someone would want to do this
>>109601755This thread is full of new fags and OPs is probably underage too. Just stick some fucking chewing gum into the lock and it will make it unusable.
>>109601041>What's to stop some lone Anon from buying a pair of super-heated pliers, and spending an evening making an entire floor's doors unusable?I think sanity is stopping them
>>109601041But I want to open the door and steal the shit inside.
>>109601041Bro you can just squirt superglue into the keyway, you don't need to do all that shit
>block/break door so occupant can't open it>lol funny prank>occupant has life-threatening injury>can't leave to get to hospital>dies>investigation implicates you as a suspect>charged with reckless endangerment or worse>it was just a prank breh>gets raped in prison
>>109602804A happy ending :D
But why?As the owner you can always just have someone drill the lock out eventually.
>>109601055>they opened inwardholy fire hazard
>>109601041>What's to stop some lone Anon from buying a pair of super-heated pliers, and spending an evening making an entire floor's doors unusable?Idk, the possibility of similarly deranged retards catching you in the act? All they need to do is to heat the pliers and jam into your butthole.
>>109601041you could do it for much cheaper and easier by having a key cut 90% through and just snapping it off
>>109601829kek
>>109605506Where does a real one even get %90-cut keys?
>>109602804yeah it's called false imprisonment and it's probably a fourth degree felony
>>109605514DIY
The fact that most apartment units have no surveillance and these cheap ass locks... do we have too much trust in our fellow man not to do shit like OP is suggesting?Or is it the jews being cheap?BOTH!??!?!
>>109601041You're saying pliers can melt steel?
>>109605545maybe OP should use some jet fuel to melt steel locks
>>109601041Wouldn't it be easier and faster to just use super glue? You wasted a thread for this.
>>109601041one time when I was in high school somebody superglued toothpicks into the locks on all the classroom doors.>What's to stopwell it is illegal to damage other people’s property to answer your question the cops.
>>109601041My apartment door has a card lock
>>109601041Why not just put a drop of Super Glue in each one? Your method of vandalism seems pretty convoluted.
>>109605535or buy one
>>109602971Exit doors often open inwards so they don't get blocked by fallen tree/snow. Depends on building and country.
