    Just take the shelf apart. I’m sure it’s just some shitty plastic flap with a crappy lock. Cheapest crap they can get.

      If the Walmart/target cases are anything to go by, it’s a basic universal tubular lock. You can by a decoder/pick for like $10

        Yeah but they’re a little tricky to use, you can’t just bump them.

        Also I would not recommend doing it at all in the first place.

          You’re right but it’s funny to think that you could be hassled for breaking into a box with the intention of purchasing its contents.

          I swear I’ve seen people use bump keys on high quality tubular locks before.

        Depending on where you live it is illegal to possess lock picking tools unless you are a licensed locksmith. Something about “intent to commit a crime.”

          Yeah, but that’s a key, not a lockpick
