Lock wouldn't unlock - aaargh!

[swee'pea99]

It's still locked to the railings. Don't know what to do. I'm going to try & find the duplicate key (the usual one is a bit worn), but if that doesn't work, I'm stumped. It's a really really strong lock...probably be talking oxy-acetylene to shift the bugger, and guess what? I don't have any. Waaaah!

Is that who has bolt cutters? Will bolt cutters get through a case hardened lock? We're talking a top quality u-bolt type thing. (And TBH, tho' I did wonder whether it might be a setup, I doubt it. It's an old steel-frame track bike, well battered, and probably has pretty poor resale value, other than to a connoisseur who recognises it for what it is - and I doubt any such person would be in the thieving game. I'll know tomorrow anyway.

Battery powered angle grinder? . Had to take one to my last magnum d lock after some thieving scum battered it and made it inoperable trying to nick my bike outside the local cinema boy did I get some funny looks as I tried to get my bike back ( I did inform there management and the local old bill)

Try getting a new key cut. After that, angle grinder & cut whatever you fastened it to.

I got a pair of these from Lidl for £8.99 for just these types of occasion:

Wouldnt a better lock & key combination be better as well as easy carry. No awkward questions to answer as to why you're carry ing them.

Did you sort this? I need closure!

 

[swee'pea99]

I need openage! No. The plan is to go down today with duplicate key. I shall report back.

It's still locked to the railings. Don't know what to do.

Do you not know any 14 year olds?
