The back door was locked and (of course) the seller did not have the key. I tried to drill and failed. I pried it open and had to fix the damage.

Gyruss had an internal plate to orient the lock and stop people from prying it open. It took two huge chunks out of the door when I broke in. I glued them back in place (You have to admire particle board!) and clamped for 48 hours.

The swelling on this door was normal for particle board this age. I sanded down to normal width and repainted. I know it is just the back and no one ever sees it but I still want it to be solid, fit properly, functional and black.
