Open Any Padlock

Step 6 Using

The best method to open it is to have the part of the shim that will go inside the lock on the outside of the bar. Push it down into the padlock, and then twist to unlock it. It can be very hard to master, dont give up. It will probably take a few minutes to get it to work. These are only good for a few uses, because they begin to crumple up and will no longer fit in the lock. A good practice technique is to use an open lock, look inside at the part you are trying to force open, and try moving it while the lock is open to see what you need to do when it is closed.

I just made this, and I am going to go to school and try this out on my gym lock.

If your lock is of the kind with the keyhole in the back and you're really smart, just make a key. This requires a sacrificial lock from the same school. Then at the end of the year when the seniors don't need their locks anymore and lock them to stuff around the school you have a supply of free locks. I won't tell you how to do it though because if you're not smart enough to figure it out on your own then you're probably stupid enough to use it to break in and steal stuff.

Although, there is an instructable on the way to do it!

seems like a waste of an Arizona can to me. What's the point?

[bustedit]

dudestein?? based on you comments, i am guessing u2b more like frankenstein than einstein. Cutted?? WTF kind of word is that? If you are too young to spell or use proper grammar, you are most likely still using those green vinyl handled scissors in school, and not allowed to use knives at home, therefore should not be attempting this. 20 times?? you're a real quick learner, huh? and you're complaining about the instructable? thats like shooting yourself with a full clip of bullets and calling the gun manufacturer stupid because you got hurt. I hope you were just being silly w your comment.

[z0mbi3 man]

does this really wrk?

[DIYerr]

yes.

[safdar]

cool idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[huckuba]

Hey! I think I got the whole general Idea. You are trying to design a piece of thin metal that slips down between the hasp, and the actual pin that holds the lock? Cool! What about key lock padlocks? Does this method work with them also?

[evil_child]

no, it dosen't, I broke mine on a friends. she can't get it open now. it doesn't even work on airline locks.

[Mr.Grinch]

unless the angled side of the pin is on the bottom, it will work, like a credit card on a door, but for Padlocks!

[evil_child]

it is easier to use a oval shape, altough it messes up ur thumb , OWWW!

[the other amelia]

wow, this is like one of the clearest instructables, ive seen on the entire sight... i like it

[wherewillwhy]
