Hi,


My bike is locked up at Herne Hill station but I've gone and lost the key. Has anyone got any tips for opening a D-lock? There is one method on youtube with a pen but I've tried that. If anyone has any other ideas, or thinks they can do it with the pen, or is handy with a battery operated angle grinder please PM me!


See my post below for cash prize challenge!

I was watching TV this week .. Caught Red Handed.. where police were monitoring bike stands

and caught people stealing bikes..


So you can go and do one...


Don't seek popularity by jumping on the slag off Foxy bandwagon..


Haven't you got any homework to do..

Try the bike shop for advice, edwardes in camberwell might be able to help

I have a big powerful angle grinder which you can take and use, I've removed wheel clamps with it before now, no problem, like a knife through butter. You will need to take an extension cable and borrow the use of a socket though or a generator as it's a mains one.


Message me if you'd like to borrow it.

Angle grinder should do the trick or the suggestion of a car jack sounds plausible, if not try Callows locksmiths or Terrys all locks in Crofton Park. Would have thought they could drill out the lock barrel which should release the lock or could try it yourself with a re-chargable drill.

I've had this before. Angle grinder is the key, though you will need to plug it in somewhere. Car jack will not do a decent lock - I broke one and was very apologetic. And yes, the police stopped me halfway through but showing some ID and being awfully polite seemed to do the trick.


Good luck - Free the Herne Hill One!

Angle grinder (knife through butter)

Or bolt cropper (knife through butter)


Used both, once by New Scotland Yard and nobody batted an eyelid. Worrying....


(the story is a nice one, locked bike up many years ago on Vic Street, couldn't find key, retraced my steps etc. A few months later noticed something metalic in my water bottle, some nice soul had put my keys in there after finding them in my lock!)

    • Hopefully the Canada Geese were being culled - I'm being serious.  It's permitted
    • You might be interested in watching this video on you tube. It's from a wildlife gardener called Joel Ashton who regularly posts about his work in that area. Being interested in that kind of thing I follow him a lot. Anyway, a few days ago he posted about his plants being deliberately poisoned allegedly by his neighbour. He is going through the process of taking legal action and videoing this journey. There is another follow up which he posted a couple of days ago . It might be helpful to you. I think I should point out that the alleged culprit is not identified on the video so not breaking any privacy laws in sharing this.
