Let's talk about self storage.

I have a very small facility and try to avoid the whole process of an auction.  I give people months to pay to avoid all the hassle.  ANYWAY...I have given up on 3 units.  I overclocked and sent the letters.  I am about to the place where you cut the lock to look in and describe the content for the ad in the paper.   Is there any new way to get a round master lock off?  The last time I had to use a metal cutter drill thing and sparks were going everywhere.  It took forever and I hated it.  So how do you get the super secure locks off for auction?

Storage supply company carries a "Lock Die" It fit over the lock and allows a regular drill bit to be directed at the proper location. Works on ALL round locks for me so far.

We bought a small cordless grinder and use a 4 1/2 inch very thin cutting wheel on our disk locks and any others that can’t be cut with the bolt cutter. We hold the lock with pliers because it generates heat. It does generate sparks, but not as much as a large grinder.

We do the same. , we cut the locks with a grinder.  The handheld Dewalt grinder has a thin blade.  We hold the lock with channel locks and position it away from the door so we do not damage the door or hasp.

The grinder wheel turns away from us so sparks do not hit us.

The lock is hot so we keep holding onto it with the channel locks and we open the door and put the cut lock into the unit.
