The keys were waiting for me in the zipcar. Next time I go to the bike room I'm taking the monster lock off and replacing it with another lock I have that has a duplicate key. I'll have to check with the mfr to see if I can't get a duplicate key if I give them the serial number. </p> http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/topic.php?id=292#post-804 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 09:53:41 +0000 toddtyrtle 804@http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/ <p>It may come to that. Think it'll cut through something like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kryptonite-York-Fahgettaboudit-Chain-Disc/dp/B000LPJQZ4">this</a>? I figure cutting through the U-lock portion is the way to go.</p> <p>Have to remember to talk to security here to make sure they know I'm doing it to my own bike lest I end up in hot water trying to 'steal' my own bike. </p> http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/topic.php?id=292#post-802 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 09:50:38 +0000 joe 802@http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/ <p>Yeah, I don't know how much locksmiths charge, but a good boltcutter will run about $40 at Home Depot. </p> http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/topic.php?id=292#post-797 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 22:04:18 +0000 toddtyrtle 797@http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/ <p>Yeah, I'm probably going to end up cutting it if I can't track down the key. Probably cost just as much for the locksmith as the lock. Thanks. </p> http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/topic.php?id=292#post-796 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 21:46:06 +0000 claymore inn 796@http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/ <p>Get the bolt cutters and cut the lock, probably cheaper then locksmith. </p> http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/topic.php?id=292#post-795 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:13:38 +0000 toddtyrtle 795@http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/ <p>OK, so I did something really stupid. I have a bike locked up in the bike room of our apartment with a hardened steel chain lock. Today I lost my keys and apparently either the spare key is packed or lost. The result is that I now have no access to my bike.</p> <p>Any suggestions? Any locksmiths you'd recommend? Also, this bike was purchased used and I have no proof of purchase, so I don't even know why they'd necessarily open it for me.</p> <p>This is one of the times when I wish I'd secured it with a cheap lock instead of this beast. I don't even care if I have to break this lock, I'd just like my bike back. </p>
