Breaking a padlock :D

[IamMed]

The small numbers "310/35" you see imprinted at the base of the CISA lock are key identification numbers.

Get a pin and try to dislodge the broken key without pushing it further into the barrel. Then get some very fine needle nose pliers and pull it out.

Then you can contact the manufacturer for a 310/35 key and provide them will all the details of ownership, they should send you a key in a few days.

That's the padlock model number. Looks more like 810/65 to me too.

Best thing todo is try and remove the key.

Failing that the brass bolt padlock is through will be easier to cut than the padlock itself.

Drilling the lock it self is an option, however the barrel itself isn't always straight forward and are designed to resist it.

Looking at some pics of open CISA locks of same design, they secure both sides of the bolt, so drilling the lock barrel might be in effective anyway.

There are a few forums around that deal with lock picking, might be an idea to ask around on there, they often have locks that have been cut away to see the internals, would give a better idea of best place to drill.

Edit:

The original CISA 80 LOGO Line padlock with proven quality and security. 5 lever brass alloy mechanism is encased in 3mm stainless steel shell. The 12mm dia. hardened shackle rotates to make virtually saw and crop proof and the key entry is designed to break drill tips to again virtually make it drill proof.

I'd cut here:

just randomly drill into with a metal drill bit over and over till it breaks

Is the gold coloured pin coming out the bottom of a computer through a desk?

Can you go inside the computer and remove the pin from the other end?

Would be pretty crap if you could.

Generally they are bolt shaped, so top has a wider head.

To remove the bolt padlock needs to be removed (or bolt cut at a thinner part).

When we got part of a key stuck in a similar situation, we were advised to spray WD40 into the lock before trying to remove it with a pair of pliers. We got a can with one of those thin tube attachments and sprayed loads into the lock, then we left it a while and managed to get it out.

Left a nasty stain on the carpet though where it had dripped.

Noob tube/Carl Gustav or call in a mortar strike!

A Vibrator plugged into the mains would go into overdrive Elephant pleasuring mode and shake it apart.

Even better, shove a pole through the hole above the red line and twist till the brass peg snaps, sorted

This was going to be my suggestion, that vertical pole doesn't look too thick with that hole drilled?

 

[D18241]

tbh a angle grinder should go through the brass np

 

[~>Dg<~]

it isnt brass the lock is brass and coated the rod isnt.

pls tell us your in it by now

 

[NVP]

Sheep strike?

 

[D18241]

Either way would just take a angle grinder to it and see how it goes

You can buy broken key removers !

Not read the who;e thread through but if thats your problem then you can buy them from http://www.ukbumpkeys.com/

Failing that ask someone who picks locks as a hobby to sort it for you, plenty of people do it

I'll bet that rod is a lot harder than you're thinking.

Door bolts often look like brass too but they eat hacksaw teeth.

is it a wooden desk ? just elbow drop it or throw someone off a lader onto it. it will brea where the hole is and you can go and compute at a new desk with your stolen pc

 

["andy"]

it will still be easier to cut than the padlock... especially at the part where it already has a hole through

It's probably hardened and tempered high carbon steel that has been zinc passivated, hence the brass-like appearance.
