i chain (cable type) my bike in front of my HDB flat (to a water pipe for the block)
but i lost the only key.
Obviously i cant remove the pipe.
how could i unlock the cable lock?
is there any locksmith i can call? (how much would they charge, what's there number)
or other way to remove it?
the bike has been there for like 3 months now and i really want to use it. :cry:
 

funny that after i wrote this, my colleague read the post and told me "it sounds like u wanna steal some other's bike"
haha
trust me, i'm not gonna do that haha
 

U have any prove that the bike is urs? if have, maybe can lodge a police report, then they will cut the cable for u..but i not sure whether they charge..
 

Dun know locksmith's no. ? Me, I got too many locksmiths numbers.
Check your letterbox or near your doorbell, should have a lot of those locksmith stickers stuck on top of each other.
 

think u can seek help from Town Councils.. ;) better inform them or police post or people must misunderstood u are stealing some bicycles. :sweatsm:
 

Are you too young to know that there is a book known as YELLOW PAGES?
 

how about a crowbar
or a cutter

maybe even a hacksaw
just make sure you have your IC and receipt with you when you do it.
you could even call the neighbourhood police post and tell them that you
are going to cut the cable of your bicycle.

Wah, you sound like an experienced pro. Next time I forgot my house keys, I call you, k ? :bsmilie:
 

you could request the assistance of your town council to cut the chain or break the lock in your presence. i had, on few occassions, ask them to cut abandoned bicycle chains near my block. they did it.

You can also buy a pair of lock/bolt cutters from your friendly DIY store.

Its amazing how ur bike is left undisturbed for 3 months ...... :think:
 

undisturbed for 3 mths because it's right in front of my door. And i'm staying on lvl 11. So only a few neighbour pass by everyday.
But the thing is the bike belong to the house owner (i rent the flat).
And i lost the key, i ask him for backup copy but he said he only have one copy and tell me to cut the cable if i want.

oh !

My bike kena stolen before outside tampiness MRT station few years back. 15mins, they took just 15mins.... Later learnt from bicycle shop that the cheap range of lock can be open by a master key.

Since its outside ur hse, ayia use hammer and make some noise :sweat:
 

Like mentioned earlier, get a cutter from hardware shop.
Tell them what exactly you need to cut.

Calling a locksmith would be very expensive, I won't be surprised if they quote you $80 for picking it.
 

yea my bro took the cutter from his company maintainence store to cut his bicycle chain cuz he lost his keys. he said one snap and the chain comes off. haha
