[007] I had to destroy this $10 FortLocks padlock to get into it...

********* UPDATE (January 2023) *********

SotonLocks found a really straightforward way to crack this padlock if you can't remember the combination. Check his very reliable method out here:

I was impressed by this $10 / £10 FortLocks padlock. As far as I can tell, it's not possible to shim it, bypass it or decode it. The only way I could get into it was to take it apart (using a dremel). If you think I'm wrong, please do leave a comment below!

I forgot to mention in the video, I also tried pulling hard on the shackle while turning the dials or pushing hard on the combination set button, but neither of those worked.

Anyone like to send one to the LockPickingLawyer? Maybe he'll spot a vulnerability I couldn't find...

(Note: I have no connection of any kind with the company that makes this padlock. In fact, I don't even know what company makes it...)
