Help - Halfords Locking wheel clamp key won't work

Angle grinder rather than butter knife.
Hah - could have spent the money on an Angle grinder instead of a locksmith.
Think the mechanism is bust so that wouldn't work.
I won't be buying another one of these!

If you've not got it off a good soak with penetrating oil in the lock may help.
Normally a lock should only ever have dry lube but as this is a one way operation I suspect no harm no foul...

I tried for a couple of hours but we were going away so had to get a locksmith out (after the AA said it wasn't covered).
They basically hit the key into the lock with a hammer and twisted vigorously (a technique I had already tried but obviously without the right expertise or vigour). The speed with which they got it off made me feel an idiot
An expensive mistake but after it was removed I couldn't open it again!

Probably not the first one they'd removed! The skill comes from knowing how hard to hit the thing
Big hammer - come off you bugger.
Sledgehammer - I mean it, come off.
Angle grinder - I wasn't joking.
Oxy-acetylene torch - can't be stuck on if it's a liquid.

Any other recommendations? These come in at £150 (or £288 for diamond Ed). Not wanting to be skinflint but was a bit shocked at the price.(size: small)Disklok UK
£135 from here...

...which is a pittance compared to the price of your van.
I think I should explain that that the butter knife in the picture was to slide between the outer and the inner to unjam the mobility rather than to pick the lock (or cut it off ).
Sorry mate, the Devil made me do it.
