Lost my keys. Bike not made anymore but I have the key numbers

[Wingreen]

My two (antique?!) Tesco Hopper Shoppers are still going strong - although not used that often. So rarely used in fact, that the keys have gone missing. Ive searched high and low but no sign. Luckily (?) I did keep a note of the numbers on the keys but as the numbers are "004" and "071" , I dont suppose there is much hope of getting replacement ones sorted. They were the small type, that folded down. Anyway - you never know. So I thought I would return here and post this item up - in case anyone has an idea that could help me out. Worth a go.....I hope

Use a jiggler key to unlock it, then disassemble the lock and remove the tumblers so you can operate it with any key.

You could try to make a "Bump Key" - there's one on the LockPickingLawyer's channel somewhere. It's alarming seeing how easily and quickly he picks a lock you own...

Many thanks to you both. I will certainly explore those two options. Chances are the keys that have gone missing are quite "simpe" so, yes, maybe a bit of "bumping" will sort it.

They make it all look so easy, but I was trying to "Bump" a padlock on my garden shed for hours because I had lost the key, in an attempt to avoid the need to remove the hasp completely... utter failure lol. I don't think I'll be safe-cracking any time soon. There might be a way to drill the lock:

Wow! These locks are rubbish. I'll never leave my battery on my bike, when it's locked up outside Tescos...
