I just did this by using an old hacksaw blade and grinding it down. the thin metal you use has to be very thin but strong like an old clock spring. or obviously like I used an old hacksaw blade ground down. it works a treat. thanks for the video mate
To: dave Scopes, You must have a really cheap lock for something the thickness of a hacksaw blade to get into, also, hacksaw blades deform and hold their Bend unlike these tools which are made out of steel with a higher temper so it flexes back rather than holding the bend on minor curves.
IT WORKS! I tried 2 other video's and the first one I ended up injuring myself twice, and the second wasn't even close. I was so excited I did a happy dance lol
😂😂😂☠️☠️ I just died laughing so hard at this! The first comment like I agree, then this one he just skipped the whole “ thank u for the info “ and went right to the point no fluff, talking shit , just “HOLD THAT MF LOCK STEADY!! Period. I was thinking just that, as I came to the comment section! Lol
I bought a brand new 175 lock a month ago. Since all these videos (yours and many others) have been posted MasterLock must have read them and redesigned these locks. They seem to have tightened up the tolerances plus addes some kind of internal block to prevent even thin shims from being slid in. Even using a piece of a coke can I can't get it past much of anything. Also tried decoding the wheels with a thin shim looking for the one where the shim goes deeper but they all seem to be the same depth.
@@johnhebberd2248 Same experience, May 2023. Lock included with ITS kit even looks a little different, the shims included are [also] shorter than the one shown in the video. Sad.
regardless of the combination ,if you hold the lock so the numbers are right side up with the code set to four zeros , pinch the shackle in then boot heal or a large stick hit the lock hard on the side which should be facing up and knock it out of your hand . if you do this correctly it will open every time without breaking the lock , and it will relock . do not use metal to hit the lock, a stick about the size of a hammer handle is perfect . works on most locks this style...
Nice to know why I am pushing it in and pushing down, have several of these locks floating about locked. Have the reset key but they have to be open first.
lost the combination to my bike lock when i was younger, fortunately i lived next to the tracks so i found an old rail road spike. we were also building a brick patio so we had spare bricks...not hard to solve the equation
I appreciate the info, but please calm down w/ the motions and move slowly. Such rapid and erratic motions with your hands and the prop are distracting. When in doubt, move slowly, move clearly, and move simply. Thanks much!
Actually you can just give the lock a sharp blow with another lock or a tool of similar weight. A small hammer or screwdriver works fine. The blow causes the "paddle" to jump or rotate. Simpler but quick.
It will be a lot faster and easier just to cut the lock with bolt cutter, assuming you have to search/send away and pay for this special 'tool'. Using this doesn't save the lock because you still don't have the combination. And you can't reset the combo, even if it's open, unless it's on the comb to begin with. With that said, those that made comments about the video being too long, or fidgeting, think back to grammar school doing math work. teacher wasn't satisfied with the answer, they wanted to see how you got to it. Ending, I think it would be just as and more important to us is if you gave the dimensions and thickness of the tool. It would eliminate a week or so sending away for one.
- What is the thickness of the "decoder"? - Will the decoder work in any other lock, brand? - Will the decoder work next to any dial on the lock (all that needs to be done is to lift that internal locking bar)?
I have one of these locks and lost the combo over 4 years ago but kept it.... If I open it with your tool, will I be able to assign it a new combination? I went to your site but can't find the 2 piece pack you mentioned...only a kit with other things I have no idea what they are. Do you still offer the 2 pack mentioned here? I would like to bring our old lock back to life if I could? Thanks
Hi Purchased 2 sets from you same lock doesn't come close to working was careful but broke 2 material is crap minimal resistance and it folds up like a cheap lawn chair! Your lock was either prepped for video or something is up! Let me know what you think I review these products and write fair reviews I mean I paid good money for them. Just by watching video i see plenty of clearance on your lock same Master 175 mine is so tight impossible!! Thanks
+scott garvey I was given a briefcase with a lock on each side and not combo. So I sat for an hour or two moving the numbers into all the different sequences starting with 000 until I got the right combo! It would have helped if there was an easier way. I also have a bike lock I'd like decoded.
"no combo". Yes, it took awhile and I tried that method with the bike lock, but it has four numbers and I gave up haha. Once I find the lock I will try it out.
Once you open the lock with the bypass tool can you use the reset key to enter a new combination or does that only work if you have the original combination entered on the wheels. Thanks
Hey good clear info. Thanks. But hey do u watch LPL UA-cam videos? We’ll probably but it’s worth mentioning that. Maybe you should invest in a good vice like he uses to hold his lock at the perfect position and focuses the camera at an angle that you can see precisely what he’s doing during the demonstration. of how precisely he’s manipulating the lock lock
Besides agreeing with others about all the yakking and constant lock flipping, I have another comment. YES it's a bypass tool but it DOES NOT seem to earn the name, "decoder." There's no decoding !!! However, thanks for the bypass info.
Thanks for the video. However I got dizzy trying to watch as you moved the lock around so much. It would be far better if you put the lock in a vise and point to things. Look at bosnianbill's excellent videos.
You can make your own, just go to your local Asian market and buy a coconut drink. Asian coconut drinks come in cans made from thicker gauge metal than American soda pop cans. Enjoy your tropical drink and then cut the shape from the can.
will this method work on brinks brand of lock? .looks similar I have one I can't open..tired changing combination and goofed...old combination and new one I thought I was setting does not work now..
"That which can be destroyed by the truth should be." -P.C. Hodgell If a device, meant to provide security, can be easily bypassed, the general consumer needs to know about it so they may know how false the sense of security is. Banking on lock pickers not figuring this out before it was brought to the publics attention is a far more dangerous play.
Of coarse your assuming a thief will take the time to learn how to open different types of locks when a pair of bolt cutter will open most and a sledge will open almost all. The simple truth is nothing is truly secure if someone really wants in they will get in. Its kind of like the saying you don't need to out run the bear just the guy next to you. Just make you stuff more difficult to get into than average and hope they move on to something easier.
Tqtrpiypuu nailed it. Statistically speaking unless you make a good show of having something worth stealing, they're "typically" looking for the fastest/easiest thing to steal... if it looks like too much trouble to bother with, they probably won't.
Umm.. because people pick locks as a hobby.. duh... just because you don't have a life doesn't mean other people don't have one either.. so shut up..why did you even watch this video then if you don't like picking locks?
Agreed with the comments about how long this is, don't want to put you off posting these videos as the content is good but you tend to beat around the bush, repeat yourself too much and spend far to long just getting to the point (not just on this video either), please take this as friendly constructive criticism.
Master are so helpful. If you forget your code, there's an ultra secure (not) cheap luggage type keyhole on the side. These guys are so helpful. Never buy Master locks. You may as well put up a neon side and a penny turnstile for thieves. At least you'll get a few pennies back.
Only allows for resetting the combo once it is open. Not like a tsa lock. Not saying master makes anything respectable just pointing out that this particular lock isn’t susceptible to the attack you mention.
Des this work and how, on a briefcase or security case which yo have forgotten the code. i have a case (my own) that has 2 set of 3 dial combos. and i would love to see what i have forgotten. other personal situations - all my own! suggestions? thanks
I found a 4-number dial combo lock in the military 45 years ago that was being thrown out. First number is dialed to the left. Any idea how to figure it out? I had another like it that I opened just by twirling the dial a few times. Don't seem to be able to do that with this one.
I have the same padlock.. after i set the correct combination, why i have to press 2 or 3 time to open the padlock.? I think theres a malmechanism in my padlock.. could you help me to solve it?
ok, so I watched your video, it was awesome. The only thing you should try, is a tool that someone might already have around the house, like a bobby pin. I grabbed one and broke the tip off and it worked so well, got the lock unlocked in seconds. The cut a way lock definitely helped, but your video could have been shorter. Thanks man.
Tried the Bobby pin/hair clip and it opened less than two seconds. There was no space between the wheel and the housing, so put it in flat over the crown of the wheel turned to the left side to make the space and hay Preston. Can't believe how simple and fast.
would like to order the ez decoder but couldn't understand the website you mentioned. if someone understood could you please send it in comments thank you.
i’ll be a son of a gun ! used the same locks for years doing Commercial Construction never realized how easy they were to bypass of course i never saw a cutaway version untill this video and You Tube wasn’t always a tool to watch
My lock won't allow any tool to fit next to the third dial no matter how thin you make the tool. I machined the tool to the point where it was as thin as a piece of paper and it collapsed and broke I have up on shimming .. The single dial method worked
hay whats up.. i use these sticks for work as a foreclosure inspector and they are great. but i just ran into a brand new combo lock with a new blocking device installed to stop the stick :-(.. u guys need to make something to bypass the new system :-)
I have one of these locks but it is open and I don't have the combo because the digits have moved. How do I "refind" the right combination so I can lock it ?
metalhead2508 but that will work only without the code haha I want to lock it the normal way and open it the normal way if I can say it like this. Do you see what I mean ?

Yup, bought this tool, found out it won't work anymore. Waste of money.
@@johnhebberd2248 it works on older ones. There are millions out in the world, keep it in your tools. It’s not very heavy.

Scam School showed a similar bypass technique with this particular kind of lock however they made it seem much more fun
I just ordered the tool…..thank you WW
Dude thanks so much for this video. You saved me this morning when my lock was not working. Amazing, thank you so much,

Ima need a video bro
I thought you was a great video and explained excellently.
"Its probably hard for you to see this" well in that case try holding the lock still FFS.
Put it in, push down!
Thats all you needed to say
Nice to know why I am pushing it in and pushing down, have several of these locks floating about locked. Have the reset key but they have to be open first.
Brilliant... and very well explained. Greetings from Belgium.
lost the combination to my bike lock when i was younger, fortunately i lived next to the tracks so i found an old rail road spike. we were also building a brick patio so we had spare bricks...not hard to solve the equation
I appreciate the info, but please calm down w/ the motions and move slowly. Such rapid and erratic motions with your hands and the prop are distracting. When in doubt, move slowly, move clearly, and move simply. Thanks much!
Anchor Las is also offering very neat padlocks.
This video literally could have been 20 seconds long.
Yeah, but, skull fucking, aneurysm growing, needless repetition is what gives the dipshit masses, I mean dumber foke the ability to learn. 😊
The only one who made you watch it is you. You wasted your own time.
LOLOL, me and 200 other folks agree with U, @artful 👍🏿💤😡 RIP
That'd why it's on shorts
Actually you can just give the lock a sharp blow with another lock or a tool of similar weight. A small hammer or screwdriver works fine. The blow causes the "paddle" to jump or rotate. Simpler but quick.
this is a perfect example of what my dad always said, "every lock, no matter how tough or complicated, it will always be a deterrent

Should you remember the combination after using the recorder will the lock function normally?
That padlock exist since decades. I saw this in the 70's. If only I knew when I was a kid. 😤

Try holding the lock still so people can see what you're doing.
I know, right?! Poor presentation just for the lock moving around!!!
Ok, guess it's just "on me" and my shaky eyes.

Hi
Purchased 2 sets from you
same lock doesn't come close to working was careful but broke 2 material is crap minimal resistance and it folds up like a cheap lawn chair!

Just by watching video i see plenty of clearance on your lock same Master 175 mine is so tight impossible!!
Thanks
Thanks guys! I've had to bust or cut several several pad locks this year because of my poor memory and my wife losing keys.
cool ..thanks ...what about a 3 roller briefcase lock,,,would that work!?
+scott garvey I was given a briefcase with a lock on each side and not combo. So I sat for an hour or two moving the numbers into all the different sequences starting with 000 until I got the right combo! It would have helped if there was an easier way. I also have a bike lock I'd like decoded.

there is always the pry bar
Once you open the lock with the bypass tool can you use the reset key to enter a new combination or does that only work if you have the original combination entered on the wheels. Thanks
Damn good question
Very cool, the only type of lock I knew how to pick or bypass before was a pin and tumbler.

....I fell asleep waiting for you to actually show us how to pick the lock!
If you can't last 6 minutes your girlfriend must be disappointed
I've seen some of his other videos. He does kinda explain things in a little too much detail, doesn't he?
@@mikecummings4715 damn that’s an amazing insult.
So how does it decide the lock? Was hoping for a way to figure out a lost combination.
Bet Master lock luvs you guys ROFLMAO !
kool vid are there any pick proof locks u can use for a gym locker....?
you do no so many crooks are loving this vid inc me.
You say brief video... but I see a 6 minute video on how to push a super thin piece of steel in a certain direction.
What's the difference between the EZ Decoder and the Quick Stick?
Use a hair clip it's cheaper..
Ground .009" feeler gauge down and easily opened two master locks this morning, worked as intended. Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter
A .012" inch automotive feeler gage shaped with A Dremel moto tool works great as well.
Besides agreeing with others about all the yakking and constant lock flipping, I have another comment. YES it's a bypass tool but it DOES NOT seem to earn the name, "decoder." There's no decoding !!! However, thanks for the bypass info.
Is the Sesamee AB410 the same and easy to bypass, or is it pretty secure? I'm looking for a new small padlock I can travel with.
Thanks for the video. However I got dizzy trying to watch as you moved the lock around so much. It would be far better if you put the lock in a vise and point to things. Look at bosnianbill's excellent videos.
ITS Tactical , Can could these also be used as quick sticks, I can't see any difference between them?
Once open can you reset the combination without knowing the previous Combinatino that you bi-passed?
I wonder if this same tool and concept would work with luggage locks that are multi-wheeled combos also? (mainly briefcases)
yes it does
When do we get to see the decoding part? Using a pick to open a lock is picking a lock.
Does that work on a suitcase combination lock? Specifically a Hartmann vintage suitcase.
You can make your own, just go to your local Asian market and buy a coconut drink. Asian coconut drinks come in cans made from thicker gauge metal than American soda pop cans. Enjoy your tropical drink and then cut the shape from the can.
To: Callahan Covington,
The small cylindrical cans of tomato paste/sardines are also made of a thicker-steel than ordinary food cans!
How do you figure out the combination after you open it?
will this method work on brinks brand of lock? .looks similar I have one I can't open..tired changing combination and goofed...old combination and new one I thought I was setting does not work now..
Can you use a cut up aluminum can for the lever??? Or does it need to be steel???

Hi mister!
What I should if I don't have that kind of key?
so.. what lock do you Brian, use for your gym lock? Tell me that.
Ironic would mean that its hard to do with the easy decoder. 4:40 Verbiage is important when advertising your product.
This makes it easier for thieves to still other people’s stuff. If I lose the combination for my lock I’ll cut it and get another.

thought this would be a good video but then he had a master lock, a toddler can crack those
How about figuring out the combination numbers, after you unlock it ??

Any way of resetting combo after picking it open (without knowing the original combo)?
is this not just a shank bypass not rlly decoding is it ? and i have been told thats a good way to break a decoder
o my question is this technique seems rather particular to band/model. Does this tool work with all/most multi-wheel combination locks?
Des this work and how, on a briefcase or security case which yo have forgotten the code. i have a case (my own) that has 2 set of 3 dial combos. and i would love to see what i have forgotten. other personal situations - all my own! suggestions? thanks
what are the tricks to ensure it shall ne inserted into the third slot and the left side?
Thanks 👍🔓🔒🔏🔐🔑👀👀👍
Is it possible to use this same technique on a combination gun trigger lock?
Is this the same thing used in the other video to open the tall blue lock
is this possible to do with a nail filer or a bobby pin/ paper clip?
Is that a master 175? because I just made one of those with a feeler gauge and that didn't work...
What if the lock doesn’t depress at all before you try to pry? Bought this product but can’t get it to work
Worked for me thanks very much
how wunderbar, what with key bumping and this, almost all of my locks are now worthless. i wont blame you for showing this, btw, at least now i know.
+vengencefrom1979 incidentally, bump proof locks are available, either for padlocks or doors. just google it. i will be getting some very fast.
