    I can read Chinese, and those are not the instructions. They just tell you how convenient, safe and secure your lock is... which it isn't.
    The actual instructions are on the inside, according to the text above the barcode.

    Wow. Just used this method on a pair of gym-locks I have (which are branded with the gym's logos and I bought directly from them).
    I was into the locks within a couple of minutes every time. Even got so confident with the method I was blind-setting the code and not actually caring if I didn't know what it was.
    I don't think I'm going to use a code-based number rotational lock again.

    I’ve never stolen a single thing in my life, but locks have always fascinated me. When I was in middle school, I realized the locks on our lockers were very easy to open. Most of the kids wouldn’t fully wind the dial after shutting their locker, so all you’d have to do to open it is turn it clockwise and wait for some tension. Then pull up on the handle thingy and open sesame. Must have opened hundreds just for the fuck of it, and mind you, I never took anything.

The previous owners left padlocks all over stuff in this house (not actually locking anything, just stuck in random places) and instead of just getting bolt cutters I'm going to learn how to pick the locks. Thanks!

    I tried this a a friends bike downtown and a couple others that I noticed as they were locking up; showed them how easy it was. This works on many types of combo locks. Convinced them to try a different key lock. Didn’t feel like getting into how easy those are as well.

  • @WisePhill

      I've been picking for a little over a year, all I can say is man my imagination runs wild just looking at all the locks that people use that I've been able to pick. Started with masters, then got a 50lb bag of assorted locks, plus a box of locks from Ebay from my wife. It's so much fun, I've made a few bucks extracting broken keys for people as well, but yeah fun not theft.

    I must say, have been watching your videos for a while as I find them very interesting even though I've never gotten into lock picking (would like to though), today had the first need to actually try out something when my new housemate accidently changed the combo to the lock on the garage. I must say its a little bit concerning that a complete novice like me had the lock open in under a minute for what appears to be quite a hefty master lock. I think ill be investing in a halfway decent lock with a key, Thanks for the help and keep up the good work

    @funny-video-YouTube-channel 7 років тому +1

    Had this lock outside in the rain and the cold. It gets broken over time and wears out internally. Then you can not open it, so you will have to break it. The metal spring parts inside are delicate and they can rust or get worn out from the turning, if you use this lock every day 3 times or so.
    If you have this lock, then oil it two or 3 times a year, if you do not want to be locked out.
    Also if it's well oiled than it's harder to guess the combo, because the mechanism slides better.

    Picked up lock picking as a hobby years ago after watching a video about locksmiths. Its really fun, and almost not challenging at this point. If you are not a locksmith, do not get caught with picking tools in your car or pocket. Certainly dont get caught with picking tools, a drill, and a ski mask in your car...
    Under another user name, I have documented some of my fun picking different locks as a hobby. Now I am not a thief, and would never pick something that wasnt mine or that I was asked to pick by a known owner, but should I ever be found to have picking tools in the car, I can show they are for a hobby and not actual bad intentions.
    Point of my post: Never be seen standing next to a dead body with a knife in your hand. Nothing good can happen...

      Honor among thieves is how you can trust him.

      Exactly... I'm not among thieves, so I can't trust him.

      You use it for good and lock a shitty persons bike with the lock of another shitty person. :D

    hey you saved me from buying a new bicycle lock (kind of ...) I forgot my combination and could it open in 15 minutes. And now excuse me. I going to buy a lock that's not bypassable by a guy who saw a decent made youtube video ;-)

    hey Bill, is there anyway you could do a dial style combination lock. I've tried myself, I've watched others, but I think you would be the best. I would much rather enjoy and learn more from BosnianBill

    Dear Bosnian Bill/ Have you encountered a digit lock that would not provide any feedback until the right combination is used?

      I posted this: I bought a similar one on EBay that's listed as 5 Digit Combination Padlock Travel Luggage Suitcase Security Lock - Silver L (large) for $7.79. The image has a watermark Paska 2016. The lock's packaging says Jasit Lock. The setting mechanism is a switch on the back instead of the side turning in the video. I couldn't get a very thin shim between the wheels to find a gate. Worth buying.

      this is a good question

    • @danpowell806
      @danpowell806 6 років тому

      There are some designs that have fake gates, so that it can feel like you've gotten a number correct when you haven't. But whenever they use the same basic principle as the ones I've ever seen, trying to open them gives feedback to the setter.

    • @The_McRib
      @The_McRib 6 років тому

      I have one (from Master Lock no less) which has the dials on the side lined up with one half of the shackle. The dials seem to get tougher or looser (or get stuck between numbers) randomly when you turn them under force so there's no number specific feedback.

    • @danpowell806
      @danpowell806 6 років тому

      That's false gates.
      Vary the force applied so that turning a dial gives some resistance but not too much. When a dial is on the right position there will be a small space that it moves with baseline resistance, and when applying pressure if any dial is not in the right position at least one of them will show resistance.

    Fine for this kind of lock. Saves damaging the cupboard etc with hammer blows!
