Now, these clever tricks and hacks by Mr Wow on YouTube will let you know easy and clever methods to open any lock easily using random objects that you can find around your house or more specifically from your toolbox or garage.
Materials:
- Sandpaper
- Craft cutter knife blade
- Longnose pliers
- Flat screw
- Gillette blade
- Wrench
Directions:
Hack #1
Using sandpaper, rub the side of the padlock’s body to expose the locking mechanism. Then, grab a craft cutter knife blade or any similar sharp tool that can scrape through and scoop out the screws. This will loosen the lock and will release the shackle or shank easier, use a flat screw to twist the keyhole.

Hack #2
Grab a longnose plier, then place a blade in between, hold it tightly and start a back and forth sliding motion against the padlock’s shackle, do it as if you are holding a saw. Continue doing so until you’ve successfully cut through the shackle.
Hack #3
Grab 2 wrenches then insert them in the middle of the shackle’s arch, once each side of the shackle is inside each jaw of the 2 wrenches, start forcing it open by pulling the handle of the wrenches together towards the center. Once the handle meets in the middle, the padlock will break.
