March 19, 20215 yr My two (antique?!) Tesco Hopper Shoppers are still going strong - although not used that often. So rarely used in fact, that the keys have gone missing. Ive searched high and low but no sign. Luckily (?) I did keep a note of the numbers on the keys but as the numbers are "004" and "071" , I dont suppose there is much hope of getting replacement ones sorted. They were the small type, that folded down. Anyway - you never know. So I thought I would return here and post this item up - in case anyone has an idea that could help me out. Worth a go.....I hope
March 19, 20215 yr Use a jiggler key to unlock it, then disassemble the lock and remove the tumblers so you can operate it with any key. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10x-Stainless-Jiggler-Keys-Dual-Sided-Car-Unlocking-Lock-Opening-Repair-Ki-YMK/313430896956?hash=item48f9eff13c:g:gkUAAOSw0U9fcwuu
March 19, 20215 yr You could try to make a "Bump Key" - there's one on the LockPickingLawyer's channel somewhere. It's alarming seeing how easily and quickly he picks a lock you own... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm9K6rby98W8JigLoZOh6FQ
March 20, 20215 yr Author Many thanks to you both. I will certainly explore those two options. Chances are the keys that have gone missing are quite "simpe" so, yes, maybe a bit of "bumping" will sort it.

They make it all look so easy, but I was trying to "Bump" a padlock on my garden shed for hours because I had lost the key, in an attempt to avoid the need to remove the hasp completely... utter failure lol. I don't think I'll be safe-cracking any time soon. There might be a way to drill the lock: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=drilling+out+bike+lock
