How do you break a padlock?
Lucky guy asked:
I have lost my key to a paddlock on my garage and have to get in, I don’t want to wreak the door or call a locksmith, is there an easier way to get it opened? I’ve heard of some kind of acid or dry ice to freeze it.

Get a metal cutter thing. I don’t know what you call it. It looks like a big wrench
with bolt cutters and lots of muscle
get a grinder and grind it off…..if you don’t have one bye one from lowes they are cheap and the best tool to have around
you will need bolt cutter
If you don’t have a bolt cutter, place a heavy duty screwdriver blade between the lock and the loop, so it’s on top of the lock part. Hit the screwdriver blade hard and fast with a hammer. Pops right open every time.
You watch too much TV. You can hit downward on a masterlock with a hammer a few wacks and it will open…and still work too. Go figure. Otherwise, a boltcutter should do the job nicely.
