One of my guys went to this job today. A father and son firm had spent 2 1/2 hours on a previous visit and failed to gain entry.

Al, any idea what the top lock used to be? Some kind of weird padlock, or half a Euro cylinder, or what is it?

It looks like a shackle bolt operated by the cam of a euro cylinder.

Just because i'm also an ammuntion/explosives geek as well, C4 is extremely hard to get hold off in the UK. As for TNT, it's not used in pure form (except in a lab enviroment) anymore for various reasons including instability with age. Sorry to post a random thread but hey! I have to chip my two pence in.

In terms of bad entries - check the hole in this padlock out. Could you have found a bigger drill bit???
