You wouldn't need to bypss it, it could be opened with two pieces of wire.

Anyone know good ways to powder aluminum :twisted:

rust is easy to come by.

The fastest way I have found to powder Aluminum is with a file or will a buffing disk attached to a 5" grinder. Now lets get back to lockpicking.

Since you aren't asking how to bypass, I caould prvide an answer. he only real solution is to pick it and this is the simplest bypass. Unless you want to drill it, pick it.

P.S. It would suck if the delicate looking pieces of the key broke off in the lock or in your pocket. :lol:

The keys are copied or remade with a good skill on the bench with a good selection of files and metal saws, warding files may help as well for the nivce square edges,

Picking the lock would be a simple task as the way to pick warded locks is to simply 'bypass' the wards with a skeleton key or wires bent to imitate a skeleton key,

Chris Belcher sells a wareded lock impression key and bits for things like this that uses a sticky backed foil on a key blade, impression as normal,
