- This bypass technique is not new but many people seem to have trouble doing it. This should clear things up. If you forgot the combination you can save your lock from being cut off.
NOTICE:
If there's a lock you would like me to feature on this channel, please send it in or tell me about it and I will do my best to acquire one.
Thank you..
Thank you! I locked my fence and your video was a life saver.
Awesome !! Glad to help. I know there are other videos but I wanted to break it down
Out of all the videos on this lock ive seen, ive never heard that one VERY helpfull hint!This is why watching multiple videos on a specific lock can be important.
Another thing, the new 175 are MUCH tighter than the old ones. I just bought a new one. It looks almost water tight. Incredible tight tolerance now.
Still doable. 👍
@@AlbertLebel You seem so available, I'll ask you. I have trouble with MasterLock Magnums. But I can get them to turn counterclockwise easy as pie. But I'd have to use plug spinner. Why is there such a different feel going the correct way? I mean, what mechanism is different? Is there a visual I can see?
@@noahway13 your not doing anything wrong. It comes down to binding order. Example; when tensioning CW certain pins will bind and may make it easy or hard to pick, OR when tensioning CCW it changes the binding order. Everything works the same either way but the binding order changes. Stop practicing CCW and spend more time the other way. You will pop that thing.
I agree. Some newer ones...not possible
Nice, thanks! Been wanting a decoding tool for a while and just got a Sparrows in the mail today. Popped my 176 with ease, but you are the first that I have seen that shows to try different wheel positions. Smart. Thanks for the lesson! Keep up the good work. You have a new subscriber!
outstanding !!! Thanks you Warren, I sure appreciate you. I hope you bought more than one. It saves on shipping costs also. Stay tuned, This Sunday I feature a high end padlock.
Teaser= MTL
Hey Big Al, thanks for showing this. I'm sure it will help out many pickers. I, myself have been unable to do this "by pass" as my tool is too big to fit. I tried forcing it a little bit but it got bent. Luckily my wife, who must have dated other pickers, knew how to straighten it out! She also let me knew that if I bent it again I was on my own. Needless to say, I now don't stick my tool any where it doesn't belong ...
Oh my goodness, glad you got that worked out
Good clarity, Big Al. I come across these frequently in the wild. This will help tremendously!
Thanks Kevin, I had this problem so I know. I was getting very frustrated.
A note to others having trouble fitting in the knife: try multiple locations!
I have a brand-new 175D for which my Sparrows knife will only fit on the right side of the leftmost code wheel, when the wheel is positioned at the correct code. From there the bypass works just the same though. You can feel for the correct wheel position since it's the only one that lets the knife slip through.
Just use the left side of second wheel but rotate it until you find the sweet spot.
I'm with you Big Al, don't bend your tool if you'd ever like to use it again! 😂 great tips on the bypass, you'll probably save folks a lot of headaches and broken knives! Take care buddy 👍🏻👍🏻
Respect your tool. LOL, Yes, I was bending one and had to learn the hard way
I, too, wish I had watched this one before bending my shim in hit or miss! Better even, this tells me that if easy-entries on all code wheels are lined up, that alignment must be related to the set code. Using this principle, I was able to decode a 175 found on a waste yard. Then, I watched one decoding video that basically applied the same principle. In fact, the exact line up of all bypass points is within a quarter step of the set code. No additional turning/counting needed. After I change combination, the alignment reveals the new combination.
Nicely done. It's fun to learn. This is part of why I enjoy the locksport thing so much. Each lock is like a puzzle of sorts. Even the small ones that can easily be cut or broken open some way are still fun to try open by manipulation. I also enjoy upgrading them. When I'm in my humble little lock lab, my day job melts away and my brain gets happy.
Reduse. Reuse, recycle right in the middle
Finally a calm, slow explaination, thanks
Glad to help. I hope you will check out more of my videos and maybe even Subscribe if your not yet. I sure appreciate you.
That sweet spot also decodes it as it seems.
Yes, you can also decode it using the flats.
@@AlbertLebel tomorrow I will email you, stay safe amd stay well
Great trick to use the flat spot on the wheel to get more room
This makes it way much easier and was the smartest way to explain how to do this
It is harder for some people because different people have different locks with different tolerances. Newer ones are MUCH tighter.
Yes they may be but the tool should still work if used correctly.
Good video Albert! Yes I learned that through trial and error. Err bent decoders or thinned shim stock. Sadly Master Lock is in no hurry to fix this age old problem. Take care, stay safe.
Same here, I was so frustrated at first. now it's too easy
Hey you guys this guy knows his stuff!!!. Its because of you that makes the world turned.:).
work great for me but I am quite sure how to put new combo after opening lock? Could you please give me your URL so we can discuses? I have the special key that came with.
once again THANKS DREW big shout out to you and all Utubers.
Good additional explainer Al and those were some LPL april fools level remarks there 😂
Thanks, I think it's fair to say I watch LPL so much it's bound to rub off.
The spot you are putting your knife into is the flat on the wheel. You can use this method to decode the lock.
@@paulm8797 Correct. Simply rotate the wheel until the blade fits nicely. Take it slow. These knives are very thin and easy to destroy.
Thanks for the video and explanation Al!
"I like to put my tool in tight spots" 🤣🤣🤣💀
Nothing like an educational video and a few funny words with your Sunday morning coffee.
Now that was some great information. Thanks for sharing with us.
I, too, like tight spots and want to be able to use my tool again!
Decoding the second wheel to find that "sweet spot". Or just spend the extra 30 seconds and decode all four wheels.
Options 🤓
Or bypass on the correct side, the left side of the coat wheels, where there is no shelf and you can slide the bypass knife in any wheel position. 😉
Well that’s why I couldn’t do this. Thanks for the info!
Great info Albert this will help a lot of people, & may even prompt master lock to fix the problem.
Have a great week mate. 👍
Thanks Daz, we can only hope so. I would love to see them make a great product.
Nice suggestion about rotating the wheel Al!
Thanks Steve, yes, I had no clue at first
I ment to say (I am not quit sure how to put new combo after opening lock? ) Please keep up the great work
First of all, thank you very much. Yes, to change the combo, insert the key, push it in to compress spring and rotate clockwise, set number you want, remove key. Done ✅
The 175D seems to be tighter tolerances. Having trouble getting my .006 decoder or knife in between the wheel as far back as you described.
Try rotating the second wheel until the tool fits. It will be tight but trust me, there's a sweet spot on the wheels.
Brilliant. Other videos are saying, Use left side of third wheel, or whatever. I think they are saying that because that is where the flat spot happened to be when they tried.
Could be. Glad this one helps.
That would be incorrect. If you look at the internal workings of this lock you'll see the left side of the code wheels are flat. You can slide the bypass tool through in any wheel position. The right side of the code wheel has a smaller diameter shelf to make it slightly more difficult to find the true gate with a decoder.
It’s only going to fit straight thru when you have the number on what the lock is set to which in your case was 0 that’s why it won’t go straight thru you can even guess the code when the tool actually goes straight thru all 4 numbers which yours would be all 0000
Ya, what he said. 🤣😂. Correct, the tool fits best when the wheel is rotated just right. Hope it helps
Nothing is worse than a bent tool!😁 Lol. Great tip, I didn't know that buddy! 🍺😎🇦🇺🖐
Thanks Don, neither did I at first. I was plum frustrated till I figured it out. Happy to share it
Trying to do this using one 175 with another 175, but it keeps opening the wrong one. So can confirm it works, lol
Me: LOL! Tool!!! Tight places!! LOL!!
Wife: Oh grow up!!!
Me: Tool!!! LOL!!!
Nice job explaining the technique Al!
Ha", just keeping it real my friend. Actually this was holding me back at first. LPL makes it look so easy skipping the details sometimes.
The simple fact that these locks are still being sold without any fix for such an well known and inexcusable flaw is concerning.
I have been saying the same thing for years. It shocks me after the videos they choose to do NOTHING to improve. Their money is spent on advertising and pushing products like this out quickly. This is why many of use do what we can to educate the public.
Funny thing is that Lowes and Home Depot still have the 175 on the shelf right next to the 185 which can not be bypassed with this method. To be fair they do rate their locks on a number scale and this one is not rated to be very secure
I rotated all wheels and not one has enough room to fit the tool. Whats the deal?
Where do i get the knife
What about when the knife won't fit any of the spots at all? How do you get in then?
I love bypassing lol! Hey bud my foot is a little bit better so I'm going to walk down to the post office on Monday and finally send you a lock without borders
Outstanding !!, I got your messages my friend. I look forward to updating L.W.B. It's an honor and privilege to house and share them. From around the world Locksport is borderless
@@AlbertLebel it definitely is my friend! I sub to guys that live all over the place but when my foot is better I can't watch them till I get up in the morning but now I'm barely sleeping cause all I do is sit in the recliner so I'm not doing anything to get tired lol
Thanks. Gonna try this as my daughter locked in the package!
Just exercise a bit of patience and you can do it. Also, if you have any trouble getting the knife in, try rotating the wheel one digit at a time until it fits
Albert, I have a Master 175 I have had for years, now have a use for it. The lock is open, I don't know the combination, and I have the reset key. The problem is the key goes in but will not turn 90 degrees. Do you have a remedy? Your videos are very helpful.
I’m not able to check right now but I believe you have to rotate the shackle 180* and maybe even push it down before the change key works.
Really wish Master would get on the ball and fix some of the design flaws in their locks.
It's a shame that this flaw still exists considering how long it's been a known issue. Take care sir. Go U.S.
Same here, they just celebrated 100 yrs of selling garbage to people that simply refuse to do any homework. I tell all my friend to do a quick YT search for the lock they want to buy BEFORE they buy it.
He Likes to put his TOOL in TIGHT PLACES!!!! 😂😂😂
Sad thing I don't have the knife😄. Nice video though.
You can get them from Sparrows or Peterson. "VERY AFFORDABLE"
I also hear of people making them with pop cans.
@@AlbertLebel Thank you!!
I would suggest you find something other than a pop can. In my experience, the metal in aluminum cans is too soft. It's possible, but I haven't been able to make one work.
I have a tool for this, however, as I like to improvise tools, I have also made a few on my own.
I recently removed and disassembled a DVD-ROM drive and harvested two steel plates. I've cut several bypass knives that work well on my Master 175. If you try this, just remember, steel has to be very thin to fit between the code wheels. Then, remember to only bypass on the left side of the wheels as they are flat and don't require finding a flat spot. Only the right side of the code wheels has a smaller diameter shelf that makes it difficult to bypass without finding the flat spot.
Where do I get the orange tool?
I bought the orange handle ones from Peterson lock picks and the black handle ones from Sparrows lock picks. Buy several because their super thin.
Padlock alarm krisbow
I like to put my tool in tight places too.
Thanks for the information. Very well done
Thank you.
When setting the initial combination I screwed up and removed the key prior to setting up, now the combination is set & WILL NOT OPEN PLUS THE KEY WILL NOT GO BACK IN. HELP PLEASE!!!
It seems you now have it set to combo you dont know. It will have to picked or bypassed like I did here.
Your 'sweet spot' was on zero, was that coincidence or a decoding method?
Great eye and fantastic question. Only coincidence. It will vary from one to another. Just rotate it slowly until that super thin blade drops right in. Those knives are absolutely amazing but obviously super thin and easy to destroy. Once they get a couple bends they become too weak to stay straight and do the job. Hope this helps.
@@AlbertLebel Right! duh (mentally) I see that now ,
Mine's only allowing .003" feeler gauge, I just need to get the blade trim right, thanks!
is that a sparrow shank? so many tools. thanks
Sparrows Ultra decoder. Buy more than one because their super thin and take it slow.
Great video mate So you must be using the gate in the wheel hey? Is it the master 178 that this bypass doesn’t work on?
Stay well brother 👍🇦🇺😊
Thanks, I can not confirm that but I did feature the 875 on video #321 that you simply pull on while decoding
thanks. i just bought my lock and tried to set combo. what i put in is not working. i have ms and dont know if i put in wrong but im already locked out of my new lock! how can i get that knife? these are hard to set and use:( thanks all
I have a good friend with MS I totally understand. Go to Sparrows Lock picks and look for bypass tools. I believe their called the Ultra decoder. You may want to get more than one because they are very very thin. Take your time and follow what I do here and you should be ok.
I found what looks like a brand new master padlock but no packaging I was wondering if you could identify it and help me figure out what the opening letters would be. I will gladly send you a photo of it if I new house lol
I apologize for not seeing your comment sooner. I just learned where to find comments I have not replied to yet. Have you gotten your answer by now ?
Can you buy the thin tool pls I love your video
I like to insert the knife with the angle side up, that way if it catches on something it may be more likely to slide under rather than on top giving the angle you're looking for. Just my preference.
I appreciate the feedback. I may try that also. Thank you
Great tutorial bro
Albert very informative video can you tell me the model number of piece I know u said Peterson but I can’t find the particular one thanks if you could help
Thanks Richard. Yes, go on Peterson website, click on bypass tools, look for Peterson Mini knife. NOT regular knife. Be sure it says Peterson mini knife. I highly recommend buying several because their very VERY thin. Feel free to hit me up any time as I am glad to help.
awesome info!
Thanks, just did it
Awesome. Took me a bit of practice but it gets easier.
Awesome thank you
Question it maybe a stupid one does it matter which way up the lock is ?
Yes I believe so. I always go with numbers upright
Can these be DeCoded?
I believe so. If you can feel flat spots on wheels
It's a shame you had to add "How to bypass the RIGHT way" when you proceed to show the wrong way.
I'm new to lockport and picking, yet I have seen multiple videos that showed me how to properly bypass a Master 175. This is not one of them.
The left side of the number wheels is flat. The right side has a smaller diameter shelf. Bypassing from the left side is simple and doesn't require finding a flat spot on the wheel. It's clear in any position.
Your point this bypass is easier towards the center of the lock is echoed on every one of those other videos, and true in my experience as well. However, if you bypass from the left side of the third wheel instead of the right side of the second wheel, you no longer have to find the flat spot.
It really is that simple.
Sincerely,
Barely A. Lockpicker
Well shame on me there cupcake. Next time I'll ask you for permission before I proceed. Are you going to be ok ?? Need a safe place ?
@@AlbertLebel Lol, there's some irony for you; you acting like a snowflake attempting to call me one. That's pretty soft of you to get called out for being a know it all whose entire premise for the video is incorrect.
Have a nice life.
Do you have a video on using the key for the master combination lock?
No I do not but I bet you could find one. Perhaps I should do one some day
How to decode and reset lock?
You may watch my videos 416 and 507 maybe they will help
Nice video, good tips!, but do you have the Corbin Sesamee, it's a bit tighter and not easy like the 175's.
Have a great day
I do not but I do know some have great tolerances and may not work but the 175 is a breeze
I have the sesamee. I go to the right of the first wheel, it takes a second but it slides right in.
@@AlbertLebel what’s the name of the tool you use on the 175 please?
Mini knife. From Sparrows lock picks
ok so once by pass how do u change the combo
I have this lock. I can not close the lock. I accidentally turned the combination while it was open and now it will not close even when on the last known combination I opened it with. Is there a hack for this??
Not sure off hand but that should not happen.
Is the combination change key still in position? If you've removed it, then change the combination, it's closed normally. These locks will not stay closed, once opened, while they are on the correct combination. That's the design.
It's in the garbage
Really nice 👍
Thanks Juan
can I reset combination if I have key after bypass the code? thanks
To reset the combo using key. Put key in, push it until you depress spring and rotate clockwise. Keep it there, set desired combination and remove key. Now new combo should work perfectly.
I couldn't push the key all the way in. do you think that is caused by bypass?
@@zejnm The key does not go in very far. Just enough to depress spring and rotate. But the lock must be open first for all this to work.
@@AlbertLebel yeah. my lock is unlocked through bypass method. do you think that code has to be correct in order to push the spring in? I thought so but not sure.
@@zejnm That is quite possible. Maybe you can decode it using the old way. I honestly dont know all that much about them. But I hope you get it worked out
Haha I wanna put my tool in tight places
I kept it clean but couldn’t help myself. 😀
Do you have a video on resetting the combo once it is opened? I cannot recall the combo to save me life! Thx
I can upload one. I may just do a shorts video on that because it's so fast and easy. You will need the reset key for the 175, do you still have one ?
Hey John, I uploaded a YT shorts video showing how to change the combination. I hope it helps. Let me know
@@AlbertLebel That's not what he asked. He wants to learn to decode this lock. Using a bypass to open the lock will not allow a user to reset the combination, with or without the reset key. Also, you don't need the reset key. Any object you can use to push in the internal button while you change the combination will work. One caveat, if you don't use something you can solidly push against that button, you can end up scrambling the combination by accident. Don't ask me how I know.😉
@@fantasticsound2085 Ya I did it without the key also but the key sure makes it much easier. And it's the right way
Found it but i dont want the beautiful fargenice😮❤😅

This is v not davida just using his youtube right now
how thick is your knife
Hey Gerry, I am using a caliper right now and I have 0.1 mm on both the Sparrows and Peterson knife. Thats the best my cheap digital caliper will do. I hope this helps
nice job on a tricky lock!
Thanks Lou, I had trouble at first so I figured I share this
Will the lock still work?
