Bike Lock....

Postby LoneWolf » 27 Mar 2005 18:48

I have a Kryptonite bike lock, it's acctually my brothers, but I used his because I couldn't find mine, and his is a key lock (mine isn't) anyway I locked up my bike and went and lost the key, so now I need to unlock my bike before my brother notices, I need to do it TODAY or tommorrow, but I don't have power tools in my house, so what can I use that are commonly found around the house and How would I do it. Ive always been interested in LockSmithing but Ive never really looked into it.

P.S. It's a three pin lock.

Lone Wolf,

There are several threads regarding 'Kryptonite' on this forum. Just use the Search facility and you'll find lots of info.

As Chris said, there's a good amount of info when you run a search.

You could try something as simple as the pen trick.

If you were using power tools you'd be busting up the lock anyway. Lock picking is an art, you're not going to be able to just make some household tools, stick them in the lock, and get it open. It takes years of practice to become truly skillful. The best you can hope for is a bit of luck in getting it open.

Even if you unlock the lock, you still won't have a key, meaning your brother will still get pissed, and you'll be back where you started. So you might as well take an axe to the lock, it'll end up the same.

If I were you I'd find the money for a new one and switch them out. Even if he figures out he won't be as ticked.

You might try the old shoelace and banana peel method. Those kryptonites are particularily weak against this technique.

Is that the one where you tie a shoelace in a strange location and then put the banana peel on the floor so when he goes to look at it he slips and falls. After he hits his head on the floor he doesn't remember the lock anyway.

chop: yes, that would be it, but that technique should not be discussed on the open forum. :)

Unless its a old kryptonite lock, you wont be able to open it without spending alot of time making tools and reading. Sry :(

But once you do open it, and knowing how lame the tubular lock is, toss it and upgrade !!
Locksmiths donate locks the the hobbyist community from time to time (depending on the attitude of the person asking), donate the lock to a shop next time you go sniving for free-bees.

TIP: Don't make the "gift" conditional, the lock has no value as-is to a lock shop until AFTER labour and materials are expended. It becomes a break-even after that if the lock is resold in the as-is pile.
