By: Cablecast 0perator ! ! and Silver Sphere ! +--------------------------+ Before we start, if you are friends with counselors that let you borrow their keys, steal the master for all the lockers in your school. You may now ignore the rest of this file. :=> Waht You Need 3/8" Hex Driver Adjustable Wrench(es) Needlenose Pliers Moby Pliers (Vise-Grips work REAL well!) 6" Steel Rod or Small Crow Bar Small Standard Screwdriver Large Standard Screwdriver Phillipshead Screwdriver Moderate Size Claw Hammer :=> Taking Over At the beginning of each school year, there are a good deal of unused lockers around the school. If one of these is near your next class, slap a padlock on it; we'll get into putting a school lock on it later... Every school has at least one designated "Garbage Locker". Find it (them), they can be used to your advantage! If a locker you want already has an owner, no problem! Read the next section for more information... If you have a large suppy of padlocks (which every locker destroyer has!), be sure to put them on the ones that you want so you'll have it later when we go to put a school-issued lock on it later. :=> Getting In Now the real challenge begins! The hardest part of all of this is getting in the thing in the first place! But it's easy if you know the tricks of the trade: > Padlocks (Combination or Key) Here's where we get to use the crow bar! Slip it between the lock and the latch on the locker, while going between the two rods of the shank. Apply serious downward force. This takes 'em off so disgustingly easily. it's not fair! As a matter of fact, we can rip Master key locks off with a crummy hex driver! > Destroying the Thing If you are so pissed as to rip the lock off and take over by force, be sure this is your last resort! You leave little marks on the paint, but a cheap can of canary yellow or waht ever color you loker may be will take care of that. Get the crowbar again. One end should fit between the dial and the door. If not, pry it open a little with one of the screwdrivers. Rip the dial off without mercy. The lock itself will fall inside the locker after the bolts snap and will be free for opening! If you can get a new dial for the lock you ripped off, try to get it on so you have another usable lock. > Going Through The Combination Getting in this way is rare, but welcomed. Spend an afternoon wandering the halls looking at the walls, ledges, doors, around a lockers wherever a combination can be written without being easily seen. If you find one, try it out-CAREFULLY! Once you get one that works, steal it! > Pennied Lockers Now we're talking REALLY rare! But these are real easy to spot. Walk around looking at the latch. If it is sticking up a mile higher than the others, give it a tug. Some of them stick that high naturally or if the locker is over-filled, so watch for those. :=> Once You're In All right, you FINALLY got the locker open and the lock is intact. Look around. Steal anything of value. Now, let's get the lock, ok? See those two nuts above and below the lock on the inside of the door? Get the 3/8" hex driver and remove them. Now grab the dial and the lock and pull free from the door. Try not to move the dial-it's a real pain in the ass getting it back right! Refasten the nuts and take it to new location, and re-install it on the new locker repeating the steps. If the dial does not go in at first, frob with it a while until it seats into the lock. Congrats! You now have just taken over your first locker! > Ripping Out The Walls! If you are on the right side of a wall, you can remove it with little difficulty and get into the locker next to yours. Use the same hex driver and unfasten the nuts holding it in. Watch out for the shelf, though! :=> Garbage Lockers As mentioned above, garbage lockers can be very useful. These usually evidant the first 2-3 months of school. They reach maturity in about 1-6 months depending on use. The custodians come and clean and disinfect it thoroughly, killing wahtever new forms of life you may have developed. They then will usually put a school-owned padlock on it. Now, scince it's clean, and you know how to get padlocks off, we say it's ripe for picking! You previously have been opening lockers seeing if they are worth conquering, and how come across a trash locker. Maybe you contributed an unwanted apple, someone's homework, etc to it. You suddenly notice one day that the janitors have taken it over. Immediately, you snap the lock off and you have a nice clean locker. :=> When To Do Your Vandalism 1. At lunch 2. Skip a period 3. After school (1) Possibly hard to do. Either no one is allowed around school or everyone is eating at their lockers. (2) May cause difficulties. That is, unless you are already failing that class. (3) This is great. Join some stupid club and then leave early everyday. Now you have enough time to swipe a few! You could also get a job at school with the janitors or as a techie. Now you have lots of time when the school is empty and you have access to MORE TOOLS! :=> Rating Of Padlocks By Brand > Combination Guard- This is the cheapest piece of shit that we've ever run across! The case is undoubtedly in two peices, and most often, there are cracks around the edges. Now turn it over and look on the back. See those two rivets? We took TWO of these off with a SNEAKER! American- Okay. Getting a little harder to get off now. The shank is 'left-handed', and the dial is firmly secured. Master- Supposedly 'top-of-the-line', but still can be removed with a little pressure. LEAN ON THAT MOTHER! > Key Master- Several million of these, no reason to break one off as of yet. Sears- One peice case, gave us a little trouble to take off with our hex driver. :=> Glossary Of Most-Used Terms Padlock- any self-comtained removable lock characterized by a steel shank.
