There is a method of opening padlocks ... the kind that have a spring loaded catch ( not sure what the part is called) where you smack it with a solid object to open it , I think that is also called raping.
Thanks for yor input
The meathod for padlocks works on any padlock that can be shimmed it requires 2 hammers of identical weight and precise timeing, just think it through cause that's all I think I can say in public forum.
