can you do this with any lock like this like a safe? i found a safe its in my truck and this would be useful

Does anyone else look at his numbers and think "It was 2.5 contact point the whole time checking until he hit 45 and then it was...wait for it...STILL 2.5 " and he says "Ya that's a pretty clear indication" 🤯😭

@lockmanipulator I have an early 20th century safe (maybe 1930s?) with a Yale lock. Do these videos apply?

LETS GOOOO!!!!

Number one YOU DO NOT SPIN the dial, 2nd you turn left to pick up all the wheels and go from there. If you are going to post post it right. I dont know where you got your info but it is wrong. the correct sequence is left 4, right 3, left 2 and right 1 or to open

Wow! Very good.

Great to watch.

Loved this. All your commentary on your videos are so clear and helpful

I have been poring over your video series. As a result, and displaying far more confidence than I feel, I have volunteered to open an S&G safe at a relation's house in a few weeks. (Purchased house with inbuilt safe, no code!!!) You present it very well, so I am hopeful! The ability to visualise appears essential in this. I saw elsewhere, where a logarithmic scale was temporarily stuck above the 0-9 of the dial, with 10 increments. If anyone has used a vernier calliper, this may make sense. It seemed to be very effective in determining fractions of an increment when finding the contact points. If you Google "Safe combination lock manipulation: How to read a Vernier scale", it should bring up a video showing how it works. Or put same into the YT search bar.

Thats great but i've had to adapt here XD. The safe given to me was a 4083 (unknown maker), that was stored in my great grandma house (im brazillian), so it doesnt quite spin so fluidly XD neither does it responds very well to teeny tiny touches to the wheel. I've opened the key already, picked it easily. Now moved on to crack the code. The metal is very hard to read, it has a lot of "grips" and scratches withing the mechanism, i believe there is plenty of rust, loose components etc. Will update you all when i eventually beat that miserable shit.

Can you do a round door safe lock?

Shut up dude you need to shut up cause you saying same thing over and over when you just shut up and say it once and show wtf your doing

The videos are excellent but I fear my dial may be broken. I feel no resistance or drag at at point

I had a question I was hoping you could help me with. @ 4:16 you have reset and are about to check the Contact Points. You rotate the dial Left from 98 and read 96 3/8 for the Right Contact Point, BUT then you go Left again to read the Left Contact Point. In every other example previously when you are using 0 as the reference point you are ensuring to go Right and left of 0, never passing it, in this case you do pass 98, or am I not understanding something. I want to say think you for these amazing videos, they are very complex and I am taking a lot of notes as I have a hard time understanding this, I am hoping with more practice it will become more natural. Thank You

6741 easy, try a 6730.

It’s a great video but I was not able to understand anything! I do have a question though. Can anyone break into someone’s house and feel these ‘contact points’ and eventually crack the safe? Is it common for burglars to know how to find the combination numbers through the way you are showing in this video?

Thank goodness. This is the guy that should have wrote the instructions!

Any experience with a Intersec dial lock? Boss has an old safe that got closed by mistake. I have a concern because the handle left of dial just spins like its not connected.

What happens if my gate patterns are inverted? I have a peak on my right contact point and a valley on my left.

Do you have a crypto channel? You sound like a guy I follow for crypto.

wow its been a while

A 6730 has adjustable torque. do you know what that may effect if set too low or too high? thanks

Awesome picking, pick and lock! Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.

Is the pick home made

Awesome Video! Thanks for the upload and explanation 👍🔐

Great video!!! 🐈‍⬛🐾🐈👍👏

just buy a TL-2000 safe dialer and that's it 😁

what is the golden plate located at the right bottom of the mechanism ?

Where can I get the graphing sheets. Like the ones you use

Where did you get the stand for the lock.

So cool

I'm going to open a floor safe. I hope

So I bought a house that had a big gardall safe. It has this same lock and is in the open position. What's the easiest way to figure out the combo? Tyia

Would you actually recommend it for someone who is a complete first time beginner? Because based on what you were saying it sounded like just graphing the contacts to find the gate won't suffice with this out of the box. I was very confused with the instructions, and I understand the basics of graphing after watching your videos.

I've had a family safe handed down to me for a number of years. Though I doubt there is anything of value within it, its a kind of family heirloom. It is an older Mosler Safe which "Mosler" has been out of business for some time. Would you know if Mosler is Group 2 combination lock? If so, then I assume your videos are most applicable in helping me to learn how to open this older safe. As such, I will study your videos with hope of one day actually opening it. Thank you so very much for sharing your expertise with us pilgrims.

Why are you only testing the left contact point?

Do you know if it's possible to do on an Amsec Floor safe? There is one at my work( school) but no one has opened it. School was built in the 1970s. I tried the sparrows safe cracking and I got it open. The problem I am finding is I can't feel the the lever hitting the back side. Any help.

I have an S&G 1300 Class B combination from a tellers sage. The lock is in my hand but I cannot figure the combination. It seems that I can see when the cam slot aligns for each wheel but the number changes and lock won't open next try. My son was messing with it and possibly took it aspart and switched wheel positions (denies this however). Would this matter?

Recently replaced the 27 year old Group 2 (6730) from my safe to a 6630. Ordered grease (A22), a dial, ring, change key, and a stand. Disassembled, cleaned, re-lubed, reused the spline key and adjusted the tension of the ol 6730 and used it to build a practice mule like yours but with the case intact. Watched your videos as they seem to be the best I have found. Especially part 7 advanced techniques. In my opinion that could be the only video needed. What it all comes down to is knowing the wheels and keeping track of when only the cam is turning. When only wheel three is turning and realizing wheel 2 can only turn if wheel 3 is turning it after taking up the slack. Helped visualization by taking the back cover off to check my guesses. Just worked the wheels until I knew them before looking for gates. Using your wheel isolation technique, my gates stood out about 1 to 1.25 tic marks width to the left of the usual Right indication. Mentioning it was a small 1/4 to 3/8ths of an increment taught me what a gate indication looked like and to use a light touch seeking the nose touch point. TIP while practicing on a mule with a known combination. No need to run the whole dial to learn. Just take 3 or 4 samples around the dial as you move toward the correct number. Much less time and if you don't see the gate indicate at the correct number you messed up the rotation count somewhere. For some extra fun, I found that dialing the combination R-L-R works if I account for the error in the flys. Thanks for the tip. Now for an observation on the 6630 which I had to try. The flys are so close that I can dial L-R-L or R-L-R to the numbers and the only difference going R-L-R was needing to reverse direction after the fence dropped. Also even knowing where the gates are on the dial, the indications are very small 2/16 - 3/16ths and variable also harder to feel the nose touch.

And how do you classify a crappy highschool / cheap padlock combination lock, which you pull on, and just spin thru all the numbers for a super-obvious lockpicking???

I forgot the password, I have a sargent password, how can I find it, is there a reset?

Do some safes clear the dial clockwise by spinning 3 times. I noticed most clear counterclockwise

Good explanation. Maybe I missed it, but why would reputable safes have wheels that are not the same size such that the difference could actually be felt? It seems that a quality safe would guarantee that these wheels be machined to very close tolerances. Just a thought and an honest question.

So, would there be no advantage to recording at what number you pick each wheel up from the drive cam?

Yo bro how are you doing you still alive?

This has so far been the best video set ive seen on this topic. Easy to understand and explained so well.

Thank's man!!!!!now i know!!!!
