Anybody here know how to get through this lock on my building's cable box?
Our cable box out back used to not be locked, free cable was nice 8) But someday my cable stopped working, and I go to the box to see that it has a lock on it now. Here's a pic of it:

Take a flat head sweardriver thats alittle bigger then the hole. Nail it in the hole with a hammer. Then get something you are grip the screwdrivers with and turn

so your saying it just screws out? sounds kinda odd, but if it is true then couldn't you just stick something in the side hole and turn it?

It spins in place freely.

Ya I know, it was just my first thought.
What type of hinge is on the other side of the door, We pulled the pin out of a Piano hinge style once. |

It's just a cover that slides straight out, the other side has the exact same hole except there is no lock in it.

The ones in Phx aren't the same but similar. I use to do Telephony while I was in school and we used this screwdriver looking thing that would put pressure on both sides of the lock allowing it to be unscrewed. You can't just buy the tool tho.
