 |  | Schlage padlock
< on 12/18/2005 12:12 AM >
|  | | | In my experiences I ran into a schlage padlock. After checking for an obvious way around it, I tried to pick it. However, I felt no pins inside it. Does anyone know whats going on here? The tolerances are too tight to shim aswell (or it has a shelf to stop people like me). This isn't vital, because They didn't make the plate it locked down big enough to cover the screws, and I simply unscrewed the entire assembly with my housekey / butterfly. It'd still be nice to know whats going on though.

| | | | Blackomegax, such methods are frowned on by most explorers.
First off, destroying a lock is vandalism, something that is looked down upon by serious urban explorers. It's a cowards way in, with no skill or ethics involved, and just makes you a common vandal. It also changes your maximum risk from a simple trespassing ticket to felony B+E. Even if you don't get caught, it lets the owners know that someone was there, and might make them beef up security or weld the door shut.
In addition, opening up access that way allows entrance to others, including children who could get hurt, vandals who think big green penises are the height of spraypaint art, and looters who will strip the site bare. It's much better to find an alternate entrance that the average idiot wouldn't notice.
Even if you find one of those very rare situations where bolt cutters might be acceptable, posting about it in a public forum makes you look like a vandal, and makes explorers in general look bad. Take a minute to think about the consequenses before advocating vandalism.
Turn off the internet and go play outside.

| | | | I had to pick another lock to get here, so Im not worried about kids/thieves/vandals. Also, I can unscrew the latch. I'm just wondering out of curiosity wtf is going on in that badlock.
Anyways, Boltcutters are the easy-way out. I like a bit more skill and technique.
