I once had a storage unit, and lost the key to the padlock. The manager said "no problem", and we went out to the unit. The manager pulled out a battery operated angle grinder, and cut the lock off in about 5 seconds.

You're going to need a bank vault to beat an angle grinder. Those tools are the shiznit.

To beat? Agreed.

With that being said, grinding through a circular padlock takes much, much longer. I'd suggest using one of those for a storage unit.
