I cant find my keys for the padlock on my storage?

Question

I am of course hoping I will find them but if I don't do bolt cutters really work to cut the lock? If so, any idea where I can buy a pair and the best ones for the job. It is a cheapo lock.. but I gotta get to my stuff.. still moving in it

Answer 1

If you know of anyone with a small hand grinder they will cut it off easiely for you,  

Answer 2

Boltcutters-local hardware store  

Answer 3

If it is the cheap lock you can easily break it with an hammer. The storage manager got bolt cutters and he / she  could cut the lock for you at no time. Most likely you will have to prove them it is your storage unit before they do it, so make sure you got your ID with you. Now, if it happen and you have the round  thick lock it might be a problem, because the bolt cutter will not cut it. In this case you will have to get a locksmith.

I hope you found your keys by now,

Answer 4

We have metal plates over our locks that makes bolt cutters useless. When  someone dosen't pay at our facility we use a dremel to cut the lock off. Contact the owner before u spend money on bolt cutters,they deal with this all the time.

Answer 5

If it is a real cheap lock sometimes striking it at where it latches, with a hammer unlatches it. Bolt cutters will work. you can buy them at a hardware store. You will need at lest the medium sized ones, wich will cost a pretty penny. You also could try a hack saw, it will be cheaper.

Answer 6

See the manager, he may have some bolt-cutters or see if one of your  friends have one.  Too expensive to buy just for that one time use.  Maybe try to hire them.

Answer 7

Yes bolt cutters work. Is there a way to ask the manager of the mini-storage to cut the lock off for you?  That'd be the fast way to handle it. They have people move out and leave storage spaces locked all the time. I hope this helps.
