    A seven pin cylinder lock can be opened in ten seconds with the right lock pick & tension wrench , a little knowledge and the right tools can open every door lol .

    Twist a towel tightly, slip it through, and a quick/strong yank will pop the shackle right out.

    Looks easy when the lock is in your hands, try it while its locked on a big chain or clasp. A good wack with a hammer will do the trick.
