Just as I said! For info, I only open locks for personal challenge, and occasionally at work to change the code for a laugh, confused workmates wondering why their locks won't open!

The one I can't open is a squire csl1, about £14. A cheap set of bolt-croppers will sort it but the same goes for all cheap locks! http://www.squirepadlocks.co.uk/squcsl1-squire-csl1-40mm-brass-padlock-combination-4-wheel.html

You need a good combination lock to have any lock at all, its like having no lock at all given that there is no key. I can open most locks of this type just by feel, even the ones you need to press a button to release. I opened a £50 lock in 10 mins. I have been stumped by one, I'll have to...

Hi, The windows and door will be installed by a FENSA installer, I need to make the openings to my reduced size before they can come out to measure up, same for the door opening. They told me they can do the work but I want to do as much as I can to save costs (reality tells me this is a flawed...

Hi all, 1st post and it's something I can't get my head around. I've got some 'minor' brickwork mods to do. In the kitchen I have to alter a window, the base is low (24" from floor) and I need to lift it 6 rows of bricks to get worktop under it. I also want (not need) to reduce the opening...
