and that’s why you never trust a zinc alloy lock

Yeah the last thing I need is some hooligan holding a blowtorch to my bike lock for twenty minutes while I run into Walgreens to pick up face wash

Once again I’m reblogging something with info that makes me sound like a criminal, but honestly my job was just a mess of different things. I figure this’ll help people be safer.

These locks are garbage, all you need to get into one is a hammer and a screw driver or punch. You stick the screw driver/punch on the latch side of the u-ring, not the spring loaded side, and give the other end a good whack with the hammer. Pop, lock comes flying off, took you a few seconds at most and isn’t all that loud really.

A LOT of locks are built in a similar way, I’ve never had to break one of the larger ones, but I bet I could with a heavy enough hammer.

Locks keep honest people out, or people who forgot their keys. If you don’t want to go to jail, stay honest.

Locks also stop the wind, raccoons, and aliens from stealing your stuff. Better safe than sorry. Use a lock. Any lock is better than none at all.
