I agree, rules are rules and they shouldnt be bent, bumkeys, shims etc etc all should never be allowed in the open forums and i think most of us think that but the admin dont and thats what matters,

Im lockign this and tell the OP to search begfore posting,

There is a stickied thread as suggested that i would advise you post on instead of making anew one,

Im lockign this before things get heated,

The rules are the rules but bits here and there have been allowed to creep through, if they didnt there would be no advance in the world i guess,

The final note i will say is that shimming only works on what are already non secure locks, decent padlocks that should be used for anything of value will not be shimmable,
