Pick a Lock

Please help.

I need to open a padlock - type “tri-rhomb 287 / 50”. Basically it’s just a normal padlock except I have lost the key.

Apparently you can open this type of lock by hitting it with a hammer. Does anyone know anything more than this? Where do I hit it; how hard etc.

If there is any other way, that would be great either…

Thanks all.

Heh, hate to break it to you (no pun intended) but most people here would think you’re trying to steal someones bike. Try using a crowbar on the padlock? How is the bike attached to the post?

I suggest you consult with a professional lock smith. I’m going to close this before someone tries to offer suggestions on how to pick locks.
