Lockers

[eebagum]

Ok everyone. I have been given some lockers for our staff. 21 in total. Problem only six have keys all the others are locked. I can purchase new locks for £6 each. Any ideas of how I get the ones without keys open. I have tried to read the numbers on the locks but not clear enough to read. So should I drill the locks out or can you think of another way.

You can probably bend them enough to pop them open.

It happens fairly often with pupil lockers and no major damage….

Check and see if there is a Master Key- some makes there is.

Pick them they are probably only 3 to 4 tumbler at most.
Check the hinges are they rivetted in on the outside? if so then drill out the rivets on the hinges and remove the door. then re rivet or bolt them back on.

What make are the lockers , I've worked for 2 of the biggest locker manufacturers in the UK and they both will supply a master key for their locks.

Staff would regularly lose the keys to their lockers, and mostly the spare keys would also have been given out, so I would be asked to “break in” for them. Forcing open the lockers with only minor damage was not hard. A new lock with 2 keys was not too expensive so I had spares available.

Most lockers are a wafer type lock that can be easily 'jiggled' open.

I've got a set of these for opening filing cabinets and lockers etc.
