Hi All
Further to my message from last week regarding a lost bike key…
I have now tried and failed to both pick and drill the lock.
It is now mangled and ruined beyond being able to be picked and I don’t have a hacksaw big or sharp enough to be able to cut it.
Does the space have an angle grinder or other suitable tool for cutting a bike lock?
Bearing in mind this is a wheel lock attached to the frame on the rear seat stays so I can’t use brute force!
Let me know
Thank you!
Yes, there’s angle grinders…
D-lock or chain?
You can pop a D lock with a strategically placed scissor jack or similar.
Where is the bike? If at the Space there are angle grinders, else I have one you can borrow as the ones in the space are used often and best not borrowed…!
somewhere in his channel the LockPickingLawyer have a video about it.
Found it.
Thanks guys!
Unfortunately its a rear wheel lock. Pretty common in Europe but much less so here. Kind of a circular padlock but attached to the frame of the bike at all times.
I will probably either bring the bike in on the back of my car today or if not I will def take you up on that offer Jonty!
Thanks for the help!
ps Lockpickinglawyer is great! I just wish I had been patient enough to actually pick it properly instead of getting in this mess.
