 This is Alex, now coming to you from my new garage, which is, as you can see, full of boxes. Luckily, my tools have arrived, including my trusty DeWalt drill, which has been with me for many years. If you saw my last video, you'll see that I have a pair of these push-button lock privacy knobs on the doors to my master bedroom, which, unfortunately, tend to lock themselves whenever you open the door, which leads to a lock-out situation, which my wife just experienced and which we would prefer not to have happen again. Luckily, she lives with a master amateur locksmith. So, I spent a little time analyzing the mechanism of this thing. Basically, what happens is there's a square driver or drive post that extends from the exterior handle through the latch mechanism into this handle. So, when you turn the knob, that little square part there turns. So, it requires that this interior handle be able to turn. So, when you push the little privacy knob, those two little prongs pop out and engage on this bar here, this piece of metal, and now that center part can't turn until they're released, and the way they get released is there's a... I don't know, actually you might be able to see it, but somewhere in there there's a detent. Oh, you can see it, actually. See that plastic thing down there? If you press the right thing in the center of the exterior door knob, it presses a little wedge-shaped thing into that, which releases the mechanism and the knob pops back out. So, I'm thinking to myself, it's Christmas Eve. I'm not going to be able to fix anything for getting new knobs or anything for a while. What can I do? I'm staring at this. I'm looking at this little bridge piece. It doesn't seem to perform any function other than engage those two little locking dogs. So, I'm going to take my drill, and I'm going to drill out these two beautifully installed rivets, which seem to hold everything together these days. Remove that thing and see if that doesn't solve our problem. Stay tuned. And we're back. This is Alex again. I have milled off with my beautiful high-speed steel quarter-inch drill bit there, drilled out the rivets on this God-forsaken handle, and removed this piece of metal from there, which engages with these little locking dogs, which you can see better now. See them popping out against the wall? Ooh, there we go. Very impressive. And now, when the thing attempts to turn it, there's nothing to stop it, and the whole thing will just release and go, which it wouldn't do before. So, I just have to go to this to the other door, put this back together. No one will be the wiser. And I now have a not-so-privacy knob for my bedroom until I can get something better. So, there you go. Hack your bedroom door. So, Merry Christmas again. Happy New Year's, and thanks for watching. As always, have fun, and please keep it legal. Cheers.
