      That makes me really happy to hear! I'm glad I was able to help you out!

    Absolutely, fantastic, thorough walk-through of how to decode the newer master lock combination padlocks! Thank You for the info. I’ve never took the time to try to learn to decode them properly. I have always just use the cheap disposable shims to bypass them open. But you sure have to bend them like crazy to get them past the new shielded wheels (why I use cheap disposables when bypassing).

      You are very welcome! The newer locks with the tighter tolerances and the anti-shimming measures are buggers... I'm happy to help!

    Thanks a lot, found two 175 padlocks, I tried for hours but thanks to your video and patience I got two usable padlocks with new combination

      That's awesome! I'm glad you were able to recode them and make them usable!

    Great vid. These new 175s are more challenging

    • @pugspickslocks
      @pugspickslocks  Před 5 měsíci

      Thank you! And, yeah... The new 175s have way betterer tolerances, and it felt like some anti-bypass shielding, too.

    Great explanation maye. It's good to know the lock manufacturers listen amd make improvements 😊. Have a great week pugs 👍🤜🤛

      Thanks, Nick! Even with as much grief as Master Lock gets, I think they are trying. At the end of the day, though, most locks are there to keep honest people honest.

      @@pugspickslocks Indeed, I entirely agree. And as for those who slate Masterlock, how many have opened a Masterlock 19??? not many...not all master locks are bad. The lotos have a great keyway too. Way more challenging than an abus LOTO

    • @pugspickslocks
      @pugspickslocks  Před 5 měsíci

      Master Lock LOTOs are fun to pick! I find the PacLoc LOTOs more of a challenge. Haven't tried the Abus yet.

    love the video. I still can not pick my 175.

    • @pugspickslocks
      @pugspickslocks  Před 4 měsíci

      Are you able to slip a decoder between the dials?

  • @Fearless-1
    @Fearless-1 Před 4 měsíci +1

    Thanks for perhaps the best video overall on this subject. I have a brand new out of package 175D. I set 0-0-0-0 and the latch wouldn't open. Following your procedures with an aluminum can decoder tool, I confirmed 0-0-0-0 is correct. I guess I have a defective lock? Any recommendations (other than return to store)?

    • @pugspickslocks
      @pugspickslocks  Před 4 měsíci

      Hey... You try pushing down on the shackle? Set the combo, and then push down on the shackle and let the spring pop it back up.
      And thank you! I appreciate the comment!

    • @Fearless-1
      @Fearless-1 Před 4 měsíci

      ​@pugspickslocks
      Ya, I've got two of these. The 1st one, set 0s, then push down shakle to spring it open.

    • @pugspickslocks
      @pugspickslocks  Před 4 měsíci

      Hm... If it isn't opening, either defective or not all zeroes. I'd have to play with it to tell.

    • @Fearless-1

      @pugspickslocks
      There is still possibility my decoding procedure is in error no matter how many times attempted. Would manual bypass to open the shackle allow me to use the included key reset tool to enter a new combo? Problem tho, I don't have a bypass tool and not worth my time and $ to buy one.

    • @pugspickslocks
      @pugspickslocks  Před 4 měsíci +1

      No, unfortunately bypassing will open the shackle, but the code wheels have to be properly aligned to change the combination.

    khi dùng công cụ mở được chốt ra mà lại không nhớ mật mã thì có cách nào đổi được mã xác nhận không. Tôi dò điểm khuyết như hình mà cũng không ra. cảm ơn!

    • @pugspickslocks
      @pugspickslocks  Před 10 dny +1

      No. If you bypass the lock, you cannot recode it. You need to decode the combination to recode it.
