Is your computer configured with the "sticky keys" on, by any chance?

Does my lock need 2 shims and some1 said you should be able to shim a lock if you push the shackle in and it springs back up. But when i pushed my padlock shackle in it sticks and then i need to pull it up

I would say that would be a good starting point then.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

I know we aren't flaming any more, but come on!

He's asked how to make and use a shim about five times, and he's not listened to the answers, has he? Or understood the video? Or even worked out how to type a legible sentence?

You are right, I think he's not smart enough to be trusted with matches yet.

I cant believe I had over 300 floppy disk and pun them in the trash , my new computer does not use floppy drive, usb only. They would make much better shims that coke or beer cans. I was to lazy I just bought some, but they don't last long, plus you have to buy the full set they wont just sell you just one size. On the job site if I see a yellow lock the shims come out first.
