Locks that work

I had this happen with my Abus lock, nearly ended up getting cut off with hydraulic cutters, but it popped after lots of wiggling the remains of the key in the lock. If you can get enough purchase on the bit that's left in there with the stub of the key it might work. That, or get GRP to pay for the cost of a locksmith.

Cheers for that. Think it's going to have be hydraulic cutters then or angle grinder as GRP def don't strike me as the kind of company that would pay for a key cutter.

To be honest once it's off will have to just but the bullet and go for a fag

It wouldn't hurt sending GRP an email, they might have some degree of faith in their products to give you a new lock. Any warranty?

The GRPS lock is a mass produced chinese jobbie. It is rebadged for different markets. I also doubt that they would pay out for the lock. Most locks cost a similar amount to produce (not including design costs), and the fact that one lock can be sold for less than £15, and another similar retail for nearer to £100, which do you think will carry the warranty that pays out for a locksmith?

Angle-grinder is whats needed.
