if you needed a steel door out of your way, what would you do?

explosives can be made out of things that are easily found. all recipes for thermite seem complicated, and call for things that are hard to find. plus, isn't it a powder? how could you burn a lock off of a door with a powder?

and would you be facing more charges if you used a bomb to get in?

rust + aluminum. Complicated?

If you think thermite is hard to make, then you were right when you posted this in bad ideas.

Isn't it funny how he said explosives are easy to make but thermite is complicated.

Mix rust and aluminum powder, stuff said powder into a lock, then stuff a strip of magnesium into the lock, light on fire with torch lighter.

Which, unless said lock is some kind of retarded chinese piece of shit made of die cast aluminium; will do nothing other then seal lock for all eternity. Moron.

Everything is made in China these days. Its a good possiblity.

If its a POS lock, then just open it with a tube sock, duh.

well...a totse favorite is thermite...but it would just melt the lock...unless the hinge pins are exposed and unremovable then that could be a potential point of entry with thermite...just melt them off...or...u can learn to pick locks which depending on the lock used can be quite easy....

You probably have more hope using a sledge hammer or bolt cutters.
