| | | Holy smokes, that's flippen' sweet. Though I presume instead of a beer can you can use any pop can... you'll just have to get the measurements right and won't be able to make as many shims. [last edit 2/11/2006 7:57 PM by Lexi - edited 1 times]

| | | I don't think the thickness of a beer can and a soda can are too different. Maybe depending on the type of beer you get, but I doubt it. Of course, there's only one way to try...drink up! ;)

| | | These will only work on some locks, it depends on the tolerances. Sometimes you have to sharpen them too, take a knife sharpening stone and make the u part so that it is more like a knife in a u shape than a u cut out of metal. I have used rootbeer cans and aluminum flashing, which is thicker but seemed to work better (assuming it fits in).

| | | I made a bunch of these one time with a couple soda cans...no luck. I could have been doing something wrong, but I couldn't make them so much as budge. It was a Master combination lock, if that matters at all.

This will only work on locks with a simple latching bar. Many of the popular brand of quality padlocks now use a double-ball locking system that will actual wreck the shim if used. On old Master padlocks, and on some newer no-name or hardware brands this bypass technique may still work if the latching bar system is used. The only way I know of to tell if its a locking ball system, is to open the lock and look in. *info from lockpicking101*

| | | I wonder if this stuff would make a more effective tool http://www.shopaid.com/newproducts.htm It's available tempered steel and stainless. I'm not sure of the thickness so this mite be a moot point but tempered steel's allot harder than beer can aluminum I'm soo happy I just used the words stuff, and moot in the same post

| | | Yes, it will work on those with a spring-loaded latching bar. I think Master combos are one I can think of offhand that have them. Dudley's won't work. (of course I find these easy to *crack* the combos for) Some cheaper ones shimming would work, mostly the grocery store brass padlock variety, and cheap dollar store ones. Master padlocks don't look like they'll work (at least the normal riveted blue-stripe 4 pin tumbler variety) but I haven't tried. I have looked at a few and they seem to be double locking (i.e. a latch at both ends of the hasp <the U-shaped thing>). For the higher-security types with the ball bearings, forget about it. If you want to do it the fun way opening Master combo locks: http://www.geocities.com/masterunlocked/ It takes a bit but once you've mastered the skill (I've done that with Dudleys) it's a lot of fun impressing your friends

i havent tried it with those particular locks, but if its doouble latching bar, you just use 2 shims. when you buy them they come in a few per pack.

| | | Sweet! They make beer can shims?! Now I can shim all my little beer cans and get them all within spec. They have such tight tolerances on beer cans these days. It's hard to drink a short one after a few tall ones from all the tolerance stack-up. Seriously the ones that are made for that are stainless and work much better than aluminum. Although I have no idea what you mean by shims and locks and all......

| | | Re: How To Make Beer Can Shims <Reply # 14 on 2/15/2006 6:47 PM >
| | | Yep, you can make padlock shims out of anything thin and cut-able ... they will still work the same on the same cheap padlocks, and still fail on padlocks protecting important things... Also try making them out of the little cover that goes over the exposed area of a 1.44 MB floppy disk. That material is a little stronger than pop/beer cans and will work better on locks that require more force / machined to poorer tolerance. Remember that shims are a bypass technique and for the most part bypass techniques are only useful on a small number of cases. Broaden your horizons and learn more and more bypass techniques and you will go far [in life and in buildings]. ~Grit

| | | You do know that's not really for shimming padlocks right? That stuff is great for the old credit card trick with bored cylindrical locksets - if they're improperly installed, of course.
