I believe you need to put a bangin' donk on it.



Irritatingly small keyway for picking. Nonetheless, master-key reversing is not very hard. A tin-opener helps.

Speaking from experience of having heard this type of question before on this forum, I have to ask you why you need to get into a high school issue padlock using the 'fastest way' ? Seems a bit shady. Normally these combination padlocks do not have keyways in the back, but your post is suggestive of a keyway on your lock, which tells me that it is an institutional lock with a master key override (in case a student forgets the combination.)

We follow some basic yet sacred tenets in the locksport community, one of which is "you don't pick a lock if it doenst belong to you, even if it was issued for your use, or it is a lock on an apartment or house you rent, or an office door to the office you work in" (That's a bit more detailed than the actual "dont pick locks that arent yours" but we always have someone with the excuse that it really is their lock, even though it really isn't)

You will do well to leave that lock alone, and if you are actually interested in picking as a hobby, and not just jackin up someone's locker, then go to the hardware store and buy a real padlock with a keyhole, not just a combo lock that happens to have a little tiny keyhole in the back. Also, to answer your question, hairpins are for girls' hair silly; lock picks are for locks.

I though that was only for advanced forums, with the frontend loader ATM key

to echo squelchtone, from the sounds of things you're looking to be a naughty biscuit.

however, the fastest way to defeat those locks is a 20lb sledge hammer. it's not going to be the quietest, or least destructive, but since you're looking at opening something that doesn't belong to you, that shouldn't matter. i assume by "pick" you mean "open". a sledge will do it in a fraction of a second with good aim.

now, on the chance that you bought a lock from your school (bought, not rented for a year) and get to keep it forever w/o the expectation of returning it to them, and want to work on your own lock, i'd say that while shimming might open it you'll find it more rewarding to spp the keyway, which is probably the only way to "pick" the lock unless you've got some really bitty rakes.

man i do own the lock and i did forget the combination, i just wana do it instead of using a shimmy man, lighten up, and dont worry ill bring the sledge if i was trying to break into someones locker to try and take a book that i already have....i think its fun, im not using it to steal, i just have to get used to being attacked for the small questions i ask and having them seen as if about to try and rob a bank.

Aww, unjust already mentioned it. Anyway, looks like your regular 5$ combination lock. Not much picking to be done, you can read a bit about them by searching older posts and google but umm, ya, break into a locker for books? You can do better than that.

Find a pin tumbler lock and some picks and start there.

And I'm posting this about a month too late.... oh well.

The fastest way to open it would be to call unlisted, he has some cool stuff......
