Help, D-lock Mmm... locked!

[Red Light]

One possibility is one scam is to put superglue in the lock so that the owner can't unlock it. Thief then comes back much later when no-one is around and cuts the lock off and takes the bike.

a scissor jack between the d locks bars will pop it open in no time ,


or smash the lock with a screwdriver and hammer if you can support the lock against a solid object like a wall or ground ,

a wrecking bar can lever it apart in no time also .


time to open under 2mins

dont tell you this when they sell you a £30 lock

I got new D lock from halfords a week ago, only ever tied my bike up in secure car park so weather aint got to it, but it has seized up while in car park (Had to take what people call a "bus" home, square box on 4 wheels, anyway...) tried wd40 and little oil, and about half hour trying to get off but key just wont go more than half a turn, halfords said they ill exchange it but have to take it off 1st, its grade 10 rating, any ideas?

Are you sure it's the right key?

Don't ask me how I know this could be a problem!

It could be difficult finding boiling water in a car park.

I opened a stuck padlock this week by pouring boiling water over it on the recommendation of a friend. Worth a go.
