It'd be easier to rake the lock. I learned how to rake locks on Master padlocks with homemade tools. I got lucky today at Menards. I need to re-lock my house. I found two sets of KwikSet locks and dead bolts (4 sets total) by sorting through all they had and finding several pairs of keyed alike sets. God love KwikSet, they always send out pairs of a key code (listed on the package). One of the two pairs I found had some really wicked bidding on the keys (a lot of high cut and low cuts on the keys). They almost look like a challenge lock. They'll be impossible to rake, and a really difficult single pin pick. The bidding is very severe to the point that they might be unreliable in bad conditions, freezing, etc. I very seldom use the locks on my house, relying on my garage door openers (I've tuned them up a bit).

I bought an SUV with a spare hanging off the back and had to remove a pad lock the prior owner put on it (along with 2 different locking lug nuts ... I guess the guy was expecting to drive it through Chicago).
Removing the Master lock was the easiest of the 3, by far. But the video tip is a good one.

You don't know me from Adam, I'm a pretty nice guy right up to the point that I'm not. This new covi insanity is a new one in my book. I'm tryin' to keep a cool tool on the stool if you know what I mean.
