  • In this video I will show how to crack open a combination lock. This method should work for most lock used in key safes and suit cases.
    Some earlier combination locks used to have a line that you can see through the gaps. If you can see the line then all you have to do is line up all the lines and you won't need the paper and pencil.

    Omg I watched three other lock picking videos before this, and yours was the one which helped me the most. Understanding how there's a flat surface on a barrel and how the combination numbers afterwards needed to be facing the inside of the lockbox. Thank you! You just saved me having to angle grind my lockbox off a wall!!!

    Can't thank you enough for this Ken. Just bought a house with one of these same key safes on the wall, previous owners had no idea of the code. It was seriously annoying! 90 seconds with a piece of plastic cut from a box of grapes and it was open. The 'spin for 5 digits' technique worked. Fantastic.

The method was simple and brilliant. With my keysafe, it was the ‘five moves on’ which cracked it. Thank you SO SO much Ken😊

    I did try working out the combination and I was really scratching my head until I thought about looking on youTube. I found you very helpful video and 5 minutes later I had it all sorted so thank you very much for a great instructional video.

Make sure you mark the paper with a good pencil line so the flat part of the rod is then obvious when the paper goes in deeper and the line disappears. Do this with each of the four rows then rotate each through 180 degrees and hey presto! Thank you Ken Kanfix for such a lucid guide!

    Totally saved my life after I accidentally closed my key lockbox before I was finished setting the code. Thank you so much. I tried several other instructions that didn’t work at all, this took me 2 tries and under 10 mins.
    Although, this does make me wonder why we even bother using them, when they’re so easily defeated by paper scraps and a pencil. Lol.

      I use push buttons ones, they're harder to crack

    The best method and explanation!! It helped me already 3x times ❤❤❤
    The only tool I used instead of paper is Coca-Cola can . I cut the strip from the can the same size as showed on the video and it brings me to find a gap quicker then the paper 😉
    Thank you so much 🙏🏻
