    Default Help Needed: how to open antique Chinese padlock w/o key?

    Hi

    I’m visiting a friend who inherited an old trunk with a beautiful chinese padlock, but no key; he has tried to find a locksmith in the Tampa area but hasn’t found anyone who knows this type.

    Does anyone have any insight into whether this can be easily opened without damage? I wanted to try and help him myself, if this is at all doable with tools I could buy at Lowes, etc.



    Any advice/insight/dire warning is appreciated. Thanks!
