Protecting your goods and property is important to you, so you employ a lot of locks and check up on your storage frequently.
You may think that padlocks are extremely secure, but what you may not know is that just about anybody can circumvent these rugged locks with something as simple as a soda can.
Using a bit of folded aluminum from a can, a shim can be crafted to wedge into the locking mechanism of almost any padlock, rendering it completely useless. What makes this even worse is that it can be done in just a matter of seconds.
But knowing the procedure, you can learn to defend your property from such resourceful thieves. Take a look at how this method is performed on the next page.

Good video
As a locksmith, I will tell you padlocks are a total false security that can be picked faster than making these shims…..
im almost positive he had the key in there the second time.
Why bother with all that when you can use a towel?
Okay, I’ll bite….
I knew about the soda can trick, but how’s the towel work?
12″ crescent wrench or pipe wrench put it on twist and waala open lock…. no effort
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.
Two hits with a 5lb sledgehammer,, works in seconds..
Saw crazy Russian hacker perform this
I think you taught me that
Mike Erdley
Zane has already done this lol
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.
I was going to post that exactly. Thank you.
Great minds think alike
