Cam Lock Removal

A drill, or use this combo:
-Hammer
-Flat head screwdriver
-Vice grips

Drive the screw driver into the key slot, once far enough in, use the vice grips applied to the screw driver, to give you some torque when turning the lock.

Either way should get the lock undone.
 
Or if your feeling inclined just get a screwdriver with channel locks and keep slamming it back and forth, sooner or later parts fail and you can rotate it. Just don't do that when the lock is in wood.
 
I just used a can of canned air and a screw driver to remove the lock on my Turbo mini coin door. The locks are hardened steel and become brittle when super-cooled, so I sprayed it with the can turned upside down and hammered the screw driver through the middle of the lock, it split the cam in half and knocked out the back of it.

It's an old trick and worked like a charm for me, but of course do it at your own risk.
