Out here in rural Texas, got called to a mobile home rekey at midnight for $150 flat rate. Guy was wasted, hands me his Schlage deadbolt key and says 'make it work,' but he'd jammed a 1/4-inch twist bit right through the cylinder trying to DIY. I pull it out with my HPC pin kit, and he starts laughing like it's the funniest shit, offers me a beer while I'm pinning new keys. Watched this LockPickingLawyer video once on Schlage vulnerabilities, figured it'd help, but damn, never seen someone drill their own lock drunk.
next time grab a schlage key extractor set instead of the pin kit, itll yank those drilled bits out way faster without wreckin the whole cylinder. saves ya time on drunk calls like that.

been there with the drunk diyers who turn a simple lockout into a total shitshow, makes you wonder how they even own a house.
