How should a hockey puck lock with a mounting bracket be disabled?

Forcing a hockey puck lock with a mounting bracket typically involves the use of tools that can effectively cut through or dismantle the lock mechanism. A rotary saw or cutting torch provides the necessary power and precision required to disable such locks. These tools can efficiently cut through the materials used in the lock, ensuring that the operator can gain access quickly and safely.

Using tools like a rotary saw allows for a controlled approach to cutting, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding equipment or structures compared to other methods that may require significant force or leverage, such as using a pipe wrench or Halligan bar. Additionally, cutting torches are particularly effective for heavy-duty locks where the metal is thicker and more resistant to traditional manual tools.

The other options involve applying mechanical force or leverage, which may not be effective against the sturdy design of hockey puck locks, making them less reliable methods of gaining entry in such situations.
