So as far as I've understood, the lock is smashed from both sides and the spring is dunked away from the locking mechanism. Or?
Can any of you try this on some other locks? It seems like a pretty handy method, provided you've got two heavy objects with you.
Also found a lot of cool stuff.

Don't take it too seriously, you're not coming out of it alive.

Re: Anyone tried picking a lock with hammers?
Hmm... a novel technique, but I wonder if it only works with certain types of padlocks. Also, seems you'd need a bit of space to swing your heavy objects of choice - if the lock in question is tucked away in a little nook or cranny then you'd have to resort to more traditional methods of bypass.
We are all books containing thousands of pages and within each lies an irreparable truth.

Padlocks you're probably better off using a shim as a first resort, and then trying to hit the top of the locking mechanism on the off chance it's a warded lock pretending to be a pin-tumbler. (Lots of cheaper locks are exactly that, surprisingly.)
Hammer technique sounds interesting, but hitting metal with a hammer sounds like a nightmare. Same goes for carrying a hammer around.
