You need to get it open quick? Tool should be cheap? No training required? Needs to look unconspicious?

I'd suggest using the key then.

LOL no , Its my own padlock, i used it to chain my motorbike up, and i have lost the key, the chain cost me £300 so i dont want to put a grinder through it. so i thought i might be able to pick it?

Assuming this is true it would be your best bet to call a locksmith. Ask for price on the phone, ask if he will be able to open the non-destructively and make a new key for it as well. Compare the price he quotes to what you would have to pay for a new padlock. If the lockie is cheaper. If the padlock is cheaper, just grind the padlock or drill the cylinder. You won't have to touch the chain for that.

We are all kinda edgy about people who pop in here and straight away post a question asking how to pick a specific kind of lock.

I understand what your saying as i see a post or two like mine b4 i made the post. i will look into what you said. But just incase i cant afford it, are multilock padlocks pickable? if im aloud to know that. ive seen how much the picking kits are and i would rather buy a kit and pick the lock and be sorted.. lol or am i just dreaming?

If you have to ask, then you’re probably going to have a hell of a tough time trying to get it open non-destructively. Do as p1ckf1sh said.

Hi,

I agree with the others.

Multilocks are very good locks (pin and pin system) and beyond my skills of picking so if its your first time of picking I would not bother. Depending on which multilock padlock it is (If its boron steel) you may have fun cutting it as well?

BTW which chain have you got? The best chain I know of is the http://www.almax-security-chains.co.uk/

They are pickable,

They come with pin in pin or just a pin versions,

You will never pick it if a begineer to lock picking,

As said work out the price of the locksmith or new padlock, cut the shackle on the padlock with a angle grinder and then offer the lock for sale on here if you dont want it, this way you will recoup some money back (there are rules on the for sale section though make sure you meet those before posting)

I would be supprised if the locksmith will pick it to be honest as its a time consumeing task if not well practised and then they need the specific MTL tools so you may end up with a cut lock anyway,
