Wow. I'm going to go try this now and report back.

 

EDIT: Didn't work. I guess we've got good locks.

You need to file a key down or cut it so that it is like ... _^_ so that the raised parts are at the lowest "height" at which a key can be cut. The key you use also has to be able to fit into the victim lock all the way without first being cut. Then you simply push the key in all the way, then pull it out one notch or raised ridge, then put a little pressure on one side and tap the other side. the force will jar the cylinder loose and allow the key to turn the lock.

What, you didn't know about this?

 

This is why it's useful to have not only various locks but also that chain thingy. Unless they're tweekers, in which case their lack of mass will allow them to slip past and through any gap.
