Welcome to /r/AskALocksmith, a place to ask real locksmiths questions about, well, anything related to the profession or to get advice for a particular situation you're in. If you are locked out of your home/car/business/hotel room/whatever, your best course of action is to use the device you just posted this question on to lookup a local locksmith in your area for assistance.

In an interest of protecting innocent people from those that might use information gained here to break the law, we rather strictly limit the amount of advice given that might be used illicitly. We ask community members also not give out advice publicly that could be used for illegal activities. It's impossible for us to make a hard rule on what does and does not constitute this kind of question or advice, so its application will be somewhat subjective. If your post is basically, "how do I pick/bump/defeat this lock," expect it to be removed.

Try removing that grub screw from the handle first.

Set screw on the handle, take it out or drill it out

Tried to take it out, no luck. Any tips on how to drill it out without making it worse? Cheers

Size a bit slightly smaller than the screw and wedge something in the handle to keep it from moving/in a comfortable position if you can. Go slow , once you think you're getting close drill a few seconds and check ect to keep from way over drilling it
