Breaking a padlock :D

[Cosimo]

Why bother doing it yourself, get a locksmith and let him have the problem.

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.

This, It's what we do at work when people lose their key.

I’ll come over and help you for free. You can hold the lock and I’ll use the angle grinder. You can trust me, honest.

Pliers, pull key out, use correct key. Not a problem.

What you should be more worried about it that somewhere you have a padlock attached to something with the key half broken in another padlock.

 

[LOAM]

have you tried turning it off and back on ?

Pliers, pull key out, use correct key. Not a problem.

Except it is a problem, because as he said, the broken section of the key is lodged inside and by the look of it, there's not enough of it sticking out to be able to get a grip with pliers.

Trying to grab the broken key with a piece of metal and superglue sounds like a good shout, but if it goes wrong, you'll jsut end up with a lock barrel full of superglue instead.

Locksmiths are the answer here. A knowledge locksmith will be able to get in absolutely anything. They have various tools at their disposal to pick anything.

why do you hold suerglue in such high regard, it's great for sticking plastics and fingers - not metal.

Just cut the thing that goes into the lock, it's really thin at the edges where that second hole is through it further up. It'll be weaker than the lock

Bite it off!

Take lock picking lessons, they will come in handy again eventually

Calm down. It's not like I'm a superglue fanboy or something. It just seems to be a very logical solution that's all.

Pfft who needs lockpicking lessons when good ol' Mr Crowly does the job!

Good point. You could get through that with a hack saw or angle grinder.

 

[RobH]

I assume it's attached to some steel cable, if you can afford to sacrifice it then just cut that as it will be the weakest point.

Hang on, I'll log back in on my rogue.

Get a chav.
