Which type of lock is best (more secure), a combination or key lock?

11 May

I have a sister who steals anything she sees and wants. I can’t keep anything for her. I’ve bought so many safes, that she’s managed to break into. I just bought a trunk & it takes a lock that I’d put on myself. For those who are good @ cracking combinations & picking key locks, of the two, which is the most safe & least likely to be able to be “broken” into? Thanks!

Is it expensive to have a car key replaced if it has the computer chip in it?

11 May

I broke the key for my 2000 Acura TL in half but I still have both halves of the key. I went to a local locksmith and they made me a new key, charges me $35, but the key does not work. They were well aware that the key had a chip on it but said it wouldn’t be a problem since I still had the broken key.

Does having the key make the process of getting a replacement easier/less expensive?

11 May

The key that I lost opens the doors and the trunk. It is a plain silver key that doesn’t have the chip because its old. I am selling the car and I need to get it replaced. Does anyone know how much it would cost? If you can recommend a locksmith thats cheap would be great. I live in the downriver Detroit area.

How can I unlock my PC case? I lost the key!?

10 May

I was trying to open up my 5 year old PC to add a new hard disk. Unfortunately the case has a lock and I can’t find the keys. These case locks are not the sturdiest but it has defeated my feeble attempts at “cracking” it.

It is a tubular lock that looked like round slots of about 7mm in diameter and it is a little smaller than those found on bicycle locks. And I’ve tried jamming a pen and twisting it – inspired by videos such as this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP0qgvMHcOI

Also this looks promising http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0Zw4JI4cxs&NR=1

Do you know of any ways to open these things without the key, without damaging the case and without taking it to the locksmith (and clumsy lay person has a chance of executing it)?

Thanks

10 May

Home Depot said they don’t have the key type and hardware stores won’t either. Has anyone made one before? They said I would have to go to dealership or locksmith, which is expensive.
