Superglue in garage door lock - SV650.org

Geodude · 31-07-11, 07:02 AM

Went to my garage yesterday which is in a block of 20 about a ten minute walk away and found that my lock had been glued up, and it was the only one that had been? Took me over an hour to get it open. Anyone know if this is a thieves trick or just school kid messing. Should i be worried?

Somebody doesn't love you or more likely hoping you would break the lock and come along later if they know what you keep in there

how did you manage to get it open?

Hmm thats what i thought. Might be time to beef up security i think

only worry is that putting more locks on the door etc may make it look like im hiding somthing.

Over an hours worth of picking out the glue with a small knife blade and wd40.

Heat, would've sped the process up, cellulose thinners or a glue dissolver, I think there's a spray for getting super glue off.

Just moved from one set of garages because of security worries to a brand new one with four point locks etc and the fact that there was always glass, screws and nails around the garages

Found this...
Not a spray but proper remover.
