Introduction
Padlock shims are another "must-have" in a lockpicker's arsenal.
Exploiting tolerances in manufacturing, shims slide into the gap between the padlock body and the shackle, and when turned depress the locking mechanism, releasing the shackle.
Shim strength and flexibility are critical to operation, especially in padlocks with tighter tolerances. Sparrows's padlock shims are constructed from thin, resistant spring-steel, allowing for optimal performance.
The set consists of four sets of different sized shims to match the vast majority of padlocks - 20 pieces in total.
