Even though it's fake, watch Storage Wars. for a demo. Doesn't matter
if it is the shank of a padlock or a disk it makes quick work of the
lock. Not quiet though.
The storage lockers are opened and inventoried by the storage mgmt
companies, by the way, to determine that all contents can be sold, and
they don't cut off locks like they patched together in the silly
show(s). Also at the storage yard I use there is a fairly petite girl
who wields a mean bolt cutter for most locks.
Mini Mobile has a patented lock system that won't yield to the cutoff
blade w/o taking out a portion of the container. If you implemented it
in better grade steel than they do, you might make something that would
require cutting thru the structure, as the lock would be there to stay.
It is designed for the disk locks and has a hardened steel surround the
whole thing lives in. You put in the disk lock in a cylinder open, lock
it and pull the key. You'd have to cut the armor as well as the lock.
