You should be able to pick it. May need slimline tools.

Try shimming it.

If you cant pick it and entry is needed and you want the lock for practiseing call a lockie or cut it off.
You dont need an intact shackle to practise picking on it.

Your pics look a bit funny in that the first pic looks like it is attached and the other pics show the hasp isnt attached, the lock is not on a freezer at all.

Whats the full story here?

Why are they going to cut it anyway?

The hasp is the cheap thing, offer to get a new hasp for them.

Use an old floppy disc, the metal from a pp9 battery, a blunted razor blade (with gloves) or anything else you can find that will slip down the side of the shackle to shim it.

There are a few posts on here on that locks i think it was said that the only differance between them is that the one you have has a differant oloured band on the bottom.

Your on a tight schedule to be honest if you havent picked before, if you have sit down and do it carefully, dont rush and dont panic youll get it.
