my boss just gave me an abus 165/40 that hes had for years but never knew the code for it and asked me to decode it. i thought about rolling through the thousands of codes that could be possible but decided to watch your tutorial and try it. Thanks to you my boss owes me 100bucks and it only took me 5 minutes xD
The Abus 165 is actually pretty challenging to decode, very nice job Lock Noob :). Always hard to turn the dials without turning the other ones ;), but quite fun to relax :).
redcatimaging yeah, I think you see at the end of the video that I knocked the last dial out of a gate and it opens when I realise and turn it back :-)
This Abus at least stalled for time, I have a tiny one in the same colour but musnt have false gates and was embarrassingly easy to open. Thnx for sharing the methodology!
Thank you Managed to recover my girlfriends BBL lock 🔒 with this , someone reset it by mistake; Notes: Pull find the lock point, release the tension, and adjust the tightest one gradually until there is another one thats tighter, then finally they should line up :-) Thank you @lockNoob
Hi! I’ve watched several of your videos and I would like a suggestion from you on combination locks... I am looking for a 4 digit combination lock to use on securing some items while I travel. I can see that with enough time all combination locks can be decoded, however, I was looking to see if you have a suggestion on ‘more difficult’ combo locks then the standard run of the mill. Thank you!
While of course I have an opinion, I would recommend talking to a good locksmith, who should be able to show you a range of locks at different prices and security rating. :-) good luck :-)
@@LockNoob Strangely enough, in the Cleveland, Ohio area, I have found that many "locksmiths" seem less knowledgeable than the folks who post here on UA-cam. At one shop all the locks on display were the same junk the big box store sells. I asked if they had any disk detainer locks. The counter person said, "Disk RETAINER lock, what's that?" At another shop they had a display board of ABUS locks. When I inquired about one, they said they don't stock any of them. They could order it in for me, at a price twice what I could get off of eBay myself. Why shop brick and mortar if they aren't knowledgeable and don't carry the locks? I have the same question Kylian has. I've seem lots of vids showing using a thin pick or blade to decode these locks and others using tension and feel. But, it would seem relatively easy to fix those deficiencies if some manufacturer cared to do so. Are there any combo locks that do that?
I'm not a lock-picker at all, and maybe you answered this, but why are the false gates only on ~1/2 of the numbers? Wouldn't a false gate on every number make the lock much harder to crack?
There are false gates on all numbers on some locks of this type, so I don't know why. Very good question and I'm sorry I don't have an answer. I guess that 2 false gates would be enough to put most people off??
does this work on all combo locks cos i just cant do it really frustrating i find i aint got the strenth to turn the buttons and i still cant tell the difrence between a true gate and a false gate
xa013 padlock black coloured sir i had set new code but before locking it the numbers changed and i forgot code. Now the problem is that the lock is not closing and i tried many tricks but failed. any solution?
Very nicely done and thanks a lot for the big shout out :-) Haha, were the marks on your finger from long decoding sessions? The day before yesterday I had a day off (old vacation) and I sat just in the sun with eyes closed and decoded locks - a wonderful relaxing time :-) Cheers mate and happy picking.

10 bucks ain’t bad! :-)
Stop lying
the cool thing is you don't need any tools. Thanks for a comprehensive video.
LockTest yeah, it's a great pocket pick :-)

Really glad I found this channel. Your vids are just as entertaining, informative and interesting as Harry's. Nice job!
That’s very generous of you :-)
Just opened an abus 165/30 while watching this. Thanks for a great video! 😊
Cool!
Just made one of my clientes happy thanks too your tutorial =) =)
This Abus at least stalled for time, I have a tiny one in the same colour but musnt have false gates and was embarrassingly easy to open. Thnx for sharing the methodology!
Don'z Lockz yes, you have to take your time with this lock. It's good fun :-)
Thank you

Thank you @lockNoob
Great video, it works.
Great to hear!
Great vid, good demonstration, 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌😊
Thank you 🙏
How do you crack the code when the lock is actually already open?
Push down on the shackle
Your opener audio is my favorite. I think Leon's Lockpad is my favorite opener for video.
The Lock Picking Lebowski thanks :-)
Lock Noob Cool lock-style logo though. I really need to take a lesson from you guys and create a nice opener for my vids.
The Lock Picking Lebowski yeah, it's fun giving yourself some branding :-)
Will have to check out Leon's stuff next. And I recognize your name, too, Dude. 🤣 Bill's having a time with your lock box!

Lock Noob, thank you. I'll have to keep looking for an answer.
nice work buddy another cool video👍😊😊👍
Leon's lockpad thank you :-)
I have a little 3 digit master combination padlock I keep in my pocket. It’s a lot easier but it does make a great little fidget.
To follow on at home I bought one of these.... managed it twice so far but it is very tricky and took me ages! Will have to keep practicing!
