Masterlock with a padlock shim

Postby Djeepy46234 » 12 Jun 2006 21:48

Hi

I found a Masterlock in the oldstuff of my mom and i tried to do the thing with the padlock shim.

Image

The only problem is that the hole on the lock is too small. Well, there's no space at all to enter the shim...

Someone know why and how i can do ?

how thick is the shim?

and, if you press the shackle to the side w/o the locking mechanism is there a bigger gap?

if so, try putting the shim in then.

Nope, I can't do a bigger gap when I move the thing... My shim is like the one in the tutorial, I did it with a Nestea can....
