Big screwdriver - Most desk draws can be opened by this method without causing permenant damage.

Care to elaborate?!

As I have rammed the little shiny clips of joy into the orifice every which way but with nowt but a smug clunk from the draws!

not sure exactly what your lock looks like, but bend the paper clip so the smaller part is at 90 degrees, push the bigger part into the lock and turn it back and forth in the lock, eventually it will open, that's if the lock is as crap as the one on my desk

Yup ours are exactly the same - put a paper clip in, wiggle, while turning, eventually it happens

Jesus Christ! It's drawers, not draws, you douche nozzles.

Just got it - you're talking about drawers right ?

Bet you can take the back off pretty easily...

If all else fails, a bit of C4 will gaurantee you access to your pringles

What flavour are the Pringles?

The chaps on the Pringleheads forums want to know.

Don't know about desk drawers, but I can open a Yale lock through the letterbox.
