How to Make a Simple Lock Shim

I show how to make a simple lock shim. lock shims are thin pieces of metal inserted into the base of the shackle (U or n-shaped thing) that presses down the locking latch or latches, releasing the shackle.

Make a single cut vertically in the can to create one long piece of aluminum. Cut multiple pieces approx. 2.5″ in width and 1.5 to 1.75″ in height. Then you need to make cuts in each blank to create an "M" looking shape. The mid-point of your "M" can either be rounded or angular. After the "M" shape is cut, simply fold the top quarter in half and fold the legs of the "M" up and around (see photos and video). You can also shape the completed shim around a pen to give it the necessary curvature it will need to slide into the shackle.

Once this is inserted, simple turn the shim while working the shackle up and down. This will allow the shackle to almost pull the shim into the locking mechanism as you're turning it. The shim acts as a bypass by moving the locking mechanism out of the way and opening the lock. Only shim a lock that you own or that you have express permission to pick.
