Open a small lock without a key.
Open a small lock without a key.
Anyone know someone who can open a small lock without a key ?
I will ask at a key cutting service tomorrow to see if they can but in the meantime anyone else had it done anywhere ?

Re: Open a small lock without a key.
Why not just drill it?

Re: Open a small lock without a key.
I know, but can you replace it? Is it an embedded lock in a cupboard or box? You didn't say in your original post. If your locked thingy is portable, you could take it to a key cutting person. We used one many moons ago who had a stall near the railway crossing just south of the train station. Most key cutters have a bit of a knack for picking locks.

But if you don't have the key anyway, how will you lock it?Pagey wrote:Cos then it won't lock again

Cos I'm presuming if a key cutter/locksmith can open it they can also cut a key.Big Boy wrote:But if you don't have the key anyway, how will you lock it?Pagey wrote:Cos then it won't lock again

Wow - that sounds like a huge job for Thailand. Good luck, and I hope they can do it for you.
Please share if you find somebody with that skill. It would be a good contact to have.

I'm sure it's nothing that a well placed screwdriver and a good hammer blow can't rectify

Re: Open a small lock without a key.
I seem to remember reading a post about someone who lost their motorbike key and a guy came along and within minutes had fashioned a replacement key, that's why I thought it would be possible.Big Boy wrote:Wow - that sounds like a huge job for Thailand. Good luck, and I hope they can do it for you.

Re: Open a small lock without a key.
The lock in question belongs to a Thai friend, I was just trying to help and fellow forum members normally have an answer to everything.
I went to a key cutter on railway road on the right side just past Soi 88. His English was very limited but he followed me to the house and opened the lock in a few minutes for 150 Baht. The impression I got was he could replace the lock if we wanted to lock it again so that decision is down to the Thai owner.
