How To Break a Kryptonite Keeper Bike Lock

[lendaddy]

Padlocks are so easy to pick it's stupid. You don't even need to really "pick" them, just apply turning torque to the cylinder and rake the pins with a wavy wire.

Easy as pie.

I'm pretty good wth tools usually, but I have always been powerless against those Kryptonite locks.

Dremmel tool and cutoff disk for hardened steel, 30 seconds and it was off, thanks guys.

Phew. That makes me feel safe.
Maybe I can start using about 10 of 'em on each bike/motorcycle I own. Make the thief work for at least 5 minutes to steal the thing.

Warts can be defeated with a scissor jack????

You really have to explain this to us!

The trick is to get the jack between the wart and the basement membrane, otherwise you leave a scar

reciprocating saw w/ carbide blade, then if someone gives you any shlt when your stealing (getting your daughter's bike free) just turn the saw on them.

Do you have a pic of the disc you used??

I've never been able to cut anything harder than a paperclip (ok a very small bolt) with my Dremel, using discs like this:



After reading your post, I did some searching. Did you use something like this?

The flat fiberglass cut-off wheels for a Dremel tool will go through hardened steel on a padlock like a hot knife through butter. Well, like butter with a lot of sparks shooting out.

I don't have a picture handy, but the discs I'm talking about resemble a very flat 50 cent piece.

Here's a picture of the disc I use:

The same disk that Denis (Speeder) used, worked great.
