I've been moving all this week, right down the road. When I moved my gun rack, I put the both keys for the padlock on my gun rack onto my car keys.
Well the car keys were in my sweatshirt and my mom borrowed it to go to New Hampshire with (no problem there) but my keys are gone, somewhere where she went to lunch, or the store(s) she went into. I've called all the stores and the restaurant, and none have found the keys. I have an extra set of car keys, but I don't have any to the padlock....
Any ideas of how to get the padlock off without destroying the gun rack? I built the gun rack last year with my girlfriend's stepdad last year, and made sure all of the hinges aren't accessible.
Bolt cutters ?
Of coarse if its a Master lock you can get a locksmith to make a key based o the lock numbers.
Angle grinder or skill-saw with an abrasive blade. I have used bot here at work and they work well but watch the sparks!
dremel with a fiberglass cut off wheel.

Hack Saw
i would go with the bolt cutters.
about 4 years ago i took my keys out of my pocket and layed them on the hood of our jeep. i was mowing and did not want them in my pocket. my wife came out and told me she was going to town. i did not even give my keys a thought. so somewhere between my home and 25miles to town my keys fell off. i walked the road up and down for 4 miles both ways. i never found them. luckly my wife had copies of them all. my gun safe and tree stand keys was on the ring. i feel for you. that is a awful thing to go through
Bolt cutters!!!!!!!!!!!!! locks only keep honest people out.
I'm always loosing the keys to my boat trailer hitch, bolt cutters always do the job for me.
package the whole thing up and send it to me, I will make sure it gets open.
Bolt Cutters,locksmith, or local prison, I am sure someone in the local prison could open it up.
I am a locksmith and I have a 30" masterkey, (boltcutter) the lock is junk with no keys so that is what I would use. It will cost you more to make keys than a new lock w/ keys. Good luck! Marty
If you don't have a set of bolt cutters, you maybe able to call the non-emergency # for your local :firefighter: dept.
bolt cutters or hacksaw will get you in
Picking a lock is extremely simple if you have the feel and patience for it. I'm not a locksmith, but I understand how they work and enjoy picking them for fun. You need a pick and a lever. The pick need a small bump or tip on the end to push the pins and the lever is something to put pressure on the cyl to make it turn. As you push the pins down, most of the time you will feel the cyl pop, when you get the last one right, it unlocks. It is not hard to do if you just put some thought into it. I don't have a prof lock pick set, but have picked auto ignitions, file cabinets, houses and pad locks. Just takes a little understanding and effort.
It is a heck of a lot easier to pick a lock than it is to kill a turkey if that puts it into perspective.

Bolt cutters or die grinder.
Tell your wife you need to go to your gun store. Then buy another and shoot it off. Win win :happy0064:
