Maybe I'm missing something, but, if you have the bolt cutters, I don't see why you need the key to an adjacent lock or any of the locks.
If you want to put the chain back together, you'll need to open one of the locks, or add another lock in it's place.
This assumes a legit need to remove someones lock. If you just want to get in, boltcutters will usually do it.
it's a terrible security mechanism regardless. suppose i want reliable unauthorized access. i determine the make and style of lock in common use, buy a bunch, buy a bolt cutter. go cut out links at each facility i wish to compromise and install my own locks right along side the "legit" ones. how long do you think it'll take anyone to notice the extra locks? cheers, richard -- Richard Welty rwelty () averillpark net Averill Park Networking 518-573-7592 Java, PHP, PostgreSQL, Unix, Linux, IP Network Engineering, Security
