Hi Everyone
This is blindingly obvious, but I just thought I'd post it, incase anyone gets caught out, locked in somewhere, and needs to get out.
If there's a padlock you need to circumvent, instead of worrying for ages on how to pick it, or work out the combination, simply get a screwdriver and undo the screws holding the plates the padlock is locked to.
Easy enough, but it's a quick trick, and something to think about when you're adding a padlock to somewhere.
Ideal EDC item for such activities....
