This document discusses various methods of attacking locks and gaining forced entry. It includes diagrams and descriptions of techniques like prying cylinders loose if not mounted properly, using a pipe wrench to twist off cylinder locks, drilling out lock cores, and removing set screws to allow later removal of cylinders. Methods like jamb spreading and the use of specialized tools for drilling out plugs or creating new shear lines in locks are also examined.
