Make Your Padlock Shim-Proff

Quite some time ago we showed you how to open a padlock with a pop can. This little trick is nothing more that using a shim to release the pin. This time around, thanks to this great Instructables project, we will show you how to make your padlock shim-proof so that people can’t get into your locker or shed (or anything else you might use a padlock for).

With all those shims out there spawned by that I’ble, we need some means of preventing people from using them to gain access to our valuables. These only take a second or two each to make and won’t cost you anything… Just like the shims… You better be quick those shims are easy to make and the criminals are coming to violate your padlocks..
