Breaking a padlock :D

A small yet very angry squirel. Trust me they do a lot of damage

Angle grinder!

 

[andy85]

Shoot the lock with a shotgun.

 

[mufc802]

Like someone said try an angle grinder, make sure you get a metal cutting disk.

 

[deadite66]

use a weirding module.

i doubt u will be able to drill or angle grind that lock, it looks pretty serious and u would need some specialist drill bits or cutting discs to get through that. best way as previously mention would be to angle grind the vertical bolt the paddlock is attached to as near to the paddlock as possible, so what ever security device it is attached to can be re-used.

If not u need a gun, again this technique always breaks paddlocks.

Specialist cutting discs not required on hardened metals.

Angle grinder IS the best option as long as you can contain the sparks (don't burn the carpet )

Yh, I'm about half way through with my junior hacksaw

I'm just waiting for my boss to get back from holiday so he can bring in his reciprocating saw

So we have to wait until Tuesday before we have more news?

I'd get someone to carefully weld something to the snapped off key inside it if possible, then you'll have something to grip to pull it out.

 

[DampCat]

Have you tried just using the rest of the key as normal?

I snapped off the ignition key in my car once (yeah yeah), and the broken bit was too far into the barrel to pull out... so i just pushed it in further with the bit that was in my hand and turned it, and it started fine. 1 key in two halves, works a treat.

 

[J86]

Drill the key hole.

 

[shroomz]

Throw boomer bile on it

As has been said before, angle grinders and saws in general are the best solution

 

[OCdude]

However you end up doing it - you best show progress pics!

 

[Landy]

My dad has some industrial pnumatic metal cutters, they'd work they cut through aything

He mentioned it's the wrong key in the hole.

Don't be a pussy, use a Plasma Cutter.

 

[*Moangroan*]

I have not read the thread but.

I would not thing a padlock shim would work.#

Broken key extractor might do it...or make one.

 

[Lummox]

+1 for a plasma cutter,

probably set fire to the desk tho'

 

[Dark_Angel]

I maintain stern words are the best solution.

 

[geekyEd]

Recip saw. Metal Blade, job done.

But how many hours have you been working on this so far, how much do you get paid per hour how much business are you loosing from not doing your regular tasks and how much is the desk worth?

All out of interest but you may see where I'm going with this.

 

[bushmins]

Am I missing something here? Just use pliers to pull the key end out and then use the correct key to open it?

This IS ocuk.

People who can make a Casio calculator run Crysis but cant work out how to bring a packet of peas home from the supermarket without them thawing.
