- The Kryptonite KryptoFlex 1218 bike lock is a fairly tough lock to crack, but I show how to decode it to recover your lost combination key code (that you may have forgotten).

Helped me open a lock that I couldn't remember the code to. Worked very quickly. Thanks much!
Excellent! Well done for getting it open. Have a great day!
This worked surprisingly quickly without having to mess with tensioning. Cheers!
I only just saw your comment ... so glad the video was helpful. Thanks for your comment - cheers! 😜😜
The triple 0 5 tip saved me
LOL yea I didn't know that these locks come from the shop as 0-0-0-5 by default (so I had to decode it). Cheers!
After watching a few videos, this was the one that did the trick. Thanks for the help.
Excellent to hear! Well done, and thanks for your nice comment 😄
Was having difficulty with this exact lock. Thanks for the help!
So glad you found the video helpful! Have a great day
Thanks so much. My daughter had one of these from new months ago and decided to put a code in without committing it to memory. This has finally allowed me to decode it. I'd even tried brute forcing all 10,000 combos but must have had the numbers slightly off 🤦♂🤦♂
Fantastic that you got it open! Yea it's frustrating to go through all 10,000 combinations and it still not open ... sometimes if you're not pulling quite straight then it doesn't open when you go past the correct combination. Also, it's so mind-numbingly dull that it's easy to misremember where you're up to. But I'm so glad you got it open and this method was helpful! 😜😜
This was excellent to watch. thanks for this video. I like it when a lock doesn't require that tough pull apart tensioning like this lock. Have a great weekend, cheers
Luckily this method exists ... otherwise we *would* need to tension it really hard, and it's too hard for me to tension it that hard in front of the camera. Even so this nice method can be tough of fingers, so I'd recommend taking lots of breaks (and maybe some tight fitting grippy gloves). Thanks PW and have a great 2023! 😜😜
@@Swynndla the gloves are a good idea, I will try that on some other combo you have given me, help with the grip has been a big barrier to playing too much with combo locks, Though they do come in really handy when i am in hospital and need something to do with my hands but can't have picks in public. cheers
@@PocketWomen Ahhh yea I bet you are fed up with hospitals. Yea I used to practice combo locks on the bus. I tend to tension locks too hard, and I overlook methods that require less tension. Hope you well PW.
Very interesting method. Will try it on some locks to see how it goes. Thanks for the inspiration.
Oh thank you for watching my friend. Yea it can be easier using that method. The indirect method worked but it required so much strength I couldn't show it on camera (as I'd have to hold it out in front of the camera and then it would be too hard for me to tension that much). Have a great time enjoying 2023! 😜😜
I found a pattern - modified the method - I did a video on it 😜😜
Excellent job exploiting that locks weakness. I will definitely keep that in my memory banks 👍
Thank you Rook Knight! Yea it's a new technique that can work well on bike locks. Hope your 2023 is going great 😜😜
@@Swynndla you too!!!!
I wonder how many others are shouting at you about that left hand wheel. That's a nice method to remember. I find that bike locks fall into two categories, easy or very difficult, that looked to be in the last class. Well done.
Thank you! ... yea if I had gotten the first wheel correct then the rest would have fallen into place quickly. I preferred to show my real attempt rather than re-film it as I didn't wont to give a false impression of how easy it is. It certainly is one of the tougher locks to decode - well done Kryptonite! Thank you for your nice comment and I hope your 2023 is going great! 😜😜
I’ve watched that video by vuaeco before, he shows a couple of interesting techniques. I think you were right not to reshoot the video.
Thank you for this. It helped me and cracked very quick
I'm glad the video helped - and well done for getting it open! 😜😜
Thank you for the video this really helped me, i watched so many videos but this method helped me open mine 😊
Fantastic! So glad the video was helpful. Thank you for that nice comment!
Hell yeah dude! That's for the help😄
So glad the video helped - cheers! 😉😜
Well done!!! 😃🐈🐾🐈⬛🐾🍻👍👍👍👍
Thank you Mr Capune! 😜😜 Hope your 2023 is going great.
I like this way!
Worked had that lock around my post for like ten years watched your video and had it off in like 15 min thank you Subscribed.
Excellent! Well done for getting it open 😜😜Remember, don't lock up something really valuable with a cheap locks (or a lock on the cheaper side). Cheers and have a great day!
I like this way! but should WE make thé notes to distinct the 2 éventuel positions in 1e wheel !
Nicely done! I love this method, it seems kinder on the hands than applying full tension. I wonder if the 4/0 and 8/4 confusion was because of false gates 4 positions off from the true gate? Odd that the false gates wouldn't be offset by 5 and keep some symmetry.
Thank you! Yes I was wondering the same thing ... it was a little bit too subtle to detect a pattern. If I find one I'll let you know. Yea I tried the indirect method on this lock and it was very tiring. I couldn't show it on camera as I couldn't hold it in front of the camera and generate that much force 😜😜Cheers and have a great 2023!
ooo and I just subscribed to your channel 😜😜
@@Swynndla I'm flattered! Your videos were one of my first exposures to the fun of combination locks :) I hope your 2023 is off to an excellent start as well!
Your comment inspired me to investigate further and indeed there is a pattern. I did another video with the updated method. 😜😜
You didn't follow the 'separated by four' rule.
Omg thank you so much it worked for me and I’m gob smacked. Thank you
Excellent! - so glad the video helped - cheers hehe
Hey, thanks for your videos :) any chance you've ever had a go at a blusmart combination bike lock?... I've been trying different methods and can't seem to open it :/
5 number...
Haha hold that thought...this technique worked...thanks! :)
Really glad you got it open - well done for not giving up! Cheers
75,000 videos using this method....but only 2 using picks...Why?
Gave up! Cut the lock off with a sawz-all in 10 seconds!
Ahh yea the method thieves do ... they don't mess about with trying to decode locks. If someone is going to lock up their bike then they should get a big thick cut-resistant one! Cheers
Great work bro
Thank you - cheers bro
