- what's a "normal" padlock?
-
- only really cheap padlocks with weakly spring-loaded bolts could possibly
- be shimmed open. i don't know of shim stock that's thin enough to fit
- down between the shackle and bolt and strong enough to push back the bolt.
-
- imho, decent locks (including padlocks) use deadbolts that can't be
- pushed back.
