The fastest thing to try would be to ask your landlord if he's changed the code. Failing that, try 0205. I tried every combination on a lock outside my house when I bought it, and that was the code, and when I boasted of this achievement to someone I know, he said he used to be really into lockpicking and that 0205 is often a default code that works on most locks. He is a monumental bullshit merchant, however, so this might not be true.

Your friend is bullshitting. There is no default code on locks like that. They usually start with 0000 or 9999.

Those locks are quite easy to pick. Start with the first barrel, put some pressure on the loop, you should feel a faint click as you get the right code - its quite imperceptible at first, but if you put tension on the loop when you do it, you'll feel each pin drop as you find the right number.

Lockpicking is fun, lots of us do it as a hobby.

That manipulation attack is usually quite easy with a bit of practice, but if you can't get it to work then you can open most padlocks with a drinks can and a pair of scissors.

I did a cursory search to see if it was easy to pick, but the only video I found suggested inserting a thin angled bit over each tumbler to feel where it slots in. Tried that, I have scalpel blades for model making and they are too thick to fit, cut up a drinks can and it fits in 3/4 of the things and does not appear stiff enough for this purpose.

Trouble is, I can't tell if the code has changed or if the lock broke somehow. I could spend a few hours trying each combination, but if its broken then that would be wasted time.

Thats a shame. Probably need to borrow one of these then.

Bolt croppers are the better option.

All good lads. Not sure how, but there's a new lock on the bay now. Same code.

Are you drunk or having an episode?

>Genuinine answer please
You sound like you had quite a worrying mental crisis in the middle of your post. I don't know what you're talking about. Can you rephrase what you said?

Pretty sure it's a newspaper comment section bot that got lost.

>>3330
I'm not sure; I have tried really hard to understand it and I think I've got it now.

>The lock got replaced (although some kind of cutter would probably open it again).

>I need to get my bin bags in there. I don't want it to be harder to do this. If the bags are putrid or particularly vile: the staff are always taking bin bags ( oh no!) and bins of putrid offal. Are you thinking you are cheating the council? Please give a proper answer. Locking the bin cupboard hurts all the communities who live here. I don't want to break in for a YouTube prank. I want to make this effort, and open this door, so I can do something for the people who live here who have other jobs. I know you know that this will be difficult. I'm not doing this purely to be a Good Samaritan.

>I know you lot can help me.

I don't think his post was completely random; it's too close to something that makes sense.

Half of it were /A/ posts, apologies. A good and sturdy lock is now in place, if only the other residents could scramble the lock after using it.
