I just wanted to let you know that me and my wife got locked inside a state park after hours. We were late getting back and they locked us in. We called the police and they couldn't get us out/didn't know the code. The park rangers were unreachable. This video got us and our RV out in 4 minutes once I decided to check on your videos. I have been a long time fan and amateur picker. Thank you, you saved us tonight.
I got locked behind the security gate at Public Storage & was lucky the manager lived on site & heard us yelling. She said next time the police would be notified cuz it's considered trespassing after hours! We were at the gate 1 minute after 9pm with 2 toddlers in the car. Our code wouldn't work after hours. Crap.

I know why, 1:30 am, now I have to replace about 200 locks. I've been getting the newer version with the hexagonal shackle and black body. I doubt they are as easily decoded because I think there is a mechanism that locks the wheels in place if you put pressure on the shackle. I know the wheels can only be moved when it is closed and they only like to go in one direction. But, I still have a lot of the older brass body ones, not sure what model number. BTW, Def Leppard sucks
@Stepping West Lol. No, I'm fully aware that people's laptops and phones are monitored and their search history is also watched. I know this. It just doesn't bother me becasue I normally just look up old cartoons and goth sh*t
This video actually helped me earn some above-board cash, so thank you for making it. I use to have a job in a small business office setting that use these specific locks on literally everything they wanted to keep locked. Well, they had a big reshuffle of the things they had attached the locks to and all of the locks on them were meant to be set to have new codes when re-assigned to their new lockers. The idea that was proposed by upper management was that they were going to go around and unlock every lock they had, set them to a neutral code (like 1111) and then drop them all in a big bin and then dole them back out after the locker reshuffle was done. Since they had a nice neutral combination, we could just grab one out of the bin, reset it to an _actual_ code, and then lock the locker. Apparently the memo didn't get through though and a key part of those instructions were left out somewhere along the way. The officer manager was meant to handle it and she ended up giving the job to one of her staff, but they just took all of the locks off, didn't clear their codes, and just jumbled them into a big bin - presumably told they were being replaced as part of the big reorganization. At the time, these locks were like $20-$30 a pop, so we must've had like two or three grand worth of locks that the company was going to have to throw out and replace because they were useless (arguably, they've always been useless if you've seen this video). I informed my manager that I knew how to reset every single lock in the bin if they wanted me to, but they'd have to live with the idea that all of the product, supplies, etc. that was stored in those lockers were effectively just security illusion and not any sort of actual obstacle. From my manager, I was told that the plan from upper management was to just replace the locks 1-to-1 with the exact same style of lock and that they weren't interested in getting more secure ones, so they'd be interested to know a way to get out of making such a purchase. I told the office administrator that I could get all of the locks working again without having to buy new ones. If they were willing to cut me a check for $1k as a "consultant fee" on top of my normal hourly rate, I'd take the bin and return them to her after getting them all reset. It took them three days to get back to me, but she came back with HR and a document that they'd drafted, agreeing to pay out if I could do it. She said I could just work on it whenever I had some spare time and I had like a week to finish. A quick lookup of this video to refresh myself and it was done in like 2 hours. Office manager was _not_ particularly pleased to learn that like every cabinet and locker in the building could be undone in such a short time, but she was quite pleased that she wouldn't have to go to the owner and explain that she needs to expense out a few thousand dollars because of an error made by her department. So thanks LPL. You helped me make some of the easiest money of my life.
I was a practicing Locksmith for 20+ years and I still watch all these videos, learning something new each time. Even though I no longer do it as a trade I believe you can never stop learning. I have found that to many people in the Locksmith trade get complacent after learning yhe basics of the trade and if anything changes they just resort to destroying the lock then taking the time to learn about a new product. Please keep putting these videos out.
I totally can relate with you! My dad owned 4 locksmith shops and I helped out in them since I was about 12 yrs old. I went on service calls and handled all the ordering of supplies...my preference in padlocks has always been Master and Brinks but after watching this video; I've came to the realization that no lock is totally secure!! Wow! I can't wait to forward this to my dad!!! Thanks for the informative lesson!!!
This is such a rare mentality these days, and yet so valuable. If everyone had the respect to give others a chance and the humbleness to be willing to learn, the world wouldn't be half as shite as it can be now.
I've had a lock of this same series sitting in the house for nearly 4 years. Someone accidentally changed the combo. With this video I opened it in about the same amount of time as the demo! Thanks for the great content.
I love this channel it both scares me and informs me at the same time. I am scared because it seems that most locks are just useless and that I need a $500 lock for my school locker. But in reality locks are there just to deter the common scum bags. If they really wanted to get in they would get in by other, possibly violent means. It is very educational for selecting locks for specific needs and has eased my mind so that if I do lose a key it's not the end of the world. I have bought a basic pick kit and training lock just so I can independently get myself out of trouble.
a lock (even a top end one) is only as strong as the rest of the securing structure. it ain't gonna do nothing against weak hinges or an easily damageable material. security is always about deterring people, not about making it impossible to get in
Locks have always worked well enough to deter 99.999% of people who don't carry a bolt cutter around with them. These videos are a game-changer -- not in a good way.
Locks are merely a deterant. The whole point is to delay entry for long enough that a person would think twice about messing with it. Getting caught picking a lock is not a good look. That's why it's just easier to find something that isn't locked and target that instead. Almost every single lock on the planet is defeatable in less than 1 minute.

@@xxXthekevXxx It's not just Master Lock, he dumps on all of them. So far I haven't found one he hasn't unlocked in one way or another. I need to know this guy's credentials. This is amazing and terrifying.
The way you opened it is the most common trick in the book, we used to have these combination locks in school like 13 years ago and did it for fun during breaks. Right before you said there was a easier way to open it i told myself (please don't tell me he's gonna pull down in the bar and then try to roll the numbers) and then you did. Happy to see the same kind of trick still hasnt been fixed
For about a year, I've noticed an obviously-abandoned bicycle cable, along with this (newer) Master lock, wrapped around a parking lot light pole down the street from where I live. Two evenings ago, right before a snowstorm, I decided to watch your video a second time, then go try my luck. I didn't time myself but, for sure, had the lock open in *under one minute.* I'd never successfully decoded a lock before, and felt a bunch of different feelings -- surprised, proud, concerned (about the value of any of the locks we own). I'd say my predominant emotion was tickled, though. I really enjoyed it. I'm now looking forward to my next opportunity to thwart some lock maker.
And lazy criminals. They go for the easy break-in. If you have a lock, even a bad one, a lot of bad guys will just try the house next door. Most burglars aren't very bright. They just want enough for a fix ...
The core thing to remember is that you do need to put pressure on the hinge to trigger the “open/engage lock” sequence before you can feel the difference if you have the right number. If you can move the wheel while putting pressure on the hinge, then the lock is not in “open/engage open” mode. Once you figure it out, it will make sense. If you still don’t understand, watch 7:27 over and over until you find a number and you can compare. This is the key to understanding this lock
This is fantastic! I work in the oil and gas industry as a utility locator, and this is the lock used on most gate entrances to the lease sites.. and VERY often, there's bad communication and we arrive to sites without being given the code. I'm gonna try this next time it happens. To be clear, we have permission to access these sites, and the gates are simply vehicle gates to keep trespassers out, so typically in these situations, if the road isn't too long, I will have to just load up all of my gear and crawl over the gate, instead of pulling our vehicle in with our equipment and personal belongings. As long as this doesn't wreck the lock, nobody will have an issue with it..... and in fact, I guarantee, the fact that we won't have to come out a second time after rearranging the day, costing the company hundreds to thousands of extra dollars, would be greatly appreciated.
prison locks are easy to pick. except the mechanisms need such force that is it near impossible without the massive blocky key due to age/rust inside. then all the doors have security locks on them for normal doors.
Masterlock engineers must be pissed when they go on youtube and see so many videos showing how easy it is to pick their locks or better yet watch someone figure out the combonation of a lock in literally seconds lol.
The original designs for most things are pretty good, but the shareholders and CEOs want to make a super cheap version in order to make more money The engineers are pissed at how stupid some people can be
they are scamming people by selling the security that does not exist. those locks are nothing but deterrents. but if anybody will try to open them - it won't hold anybody.

No discussion about "man, the old episodes where so much better" or "this channel has really gotten lazy". Nope! Not The Lockpicking Lawyer! Long time fan. Love the vids. Please keep it up!
Imagine if the government hired this guy to go on a secret mission to get somewhere locked and as soon as he gets to the lock he starts telling his team the whole history about the lock
I love your program. I learn so much from you. I was a locksmith for 3 years, but all new devices on the market today and love it. I did my time back in the 90's and everything so difference today's standard. Ty for your sight. I've learned a lot from you.
Nice to see it explained. I recall we used to use this method in JC for number lock combinations whenever someone forgot the combination of the lock to their locker. Fortunately, it was always used to help people and not to break into lockers. That must have been like 30 years ago =)
When I went to college in the 1970’s I lived in the dorms. Many students had a bicycle and they would store them in the basement, the basement was full of bikes. Back then, everyone used a simple chain with a built-in combo lock (you still see similar locks even today). They were so easy to open it was ridiculous, you would just pull on them as you turned the combo lock and feel for a click to get the correct number. As a prank, someone opened every lock and move them to different bikes. Lol, the next few days everyone went crazy saying they could not open their locks on their bike!
Upon reading my comment I realized that 3 HAs would sound better than 2 HAs. So here it is. Hahaha....nasty prank my man!! By the way, I am still here on this upload because I feel good about being able to open a Master lock now after I tried the "no tool method". czcams.com/video/qodr0uzEF4I/video.html
YES! I just made this comment too! I remember forgetting my combo all the time but it didn't matter because it was useless! Was yours one of the light chain ones with the colored plastic sleeves over it and the cheap chrome job on the steel?
Master still hasn't learned. I used a similar technique 50 years ago on school lockers when kids forgot their combinations. I could simply feel when I hit a good number and typically opened those padlocks in a couple of minutes. I probably missed a chance to have an interesting locksmith career lol.
I remember in school I could open any master lock by just taking off my gym shoe and giving it a good whack. It didn’t even hurt the lock, just opened it.
you can do the exact same with Daiso’s fixed-code combination bike lock. i’ve used it a few times for very (very) low-risk applications and forgot the code once. barely took me longer than when i had the code.
@sightinsight Precisely what I was going to say. If it's a good strategy for the NSA and CIA to hire hackers you'd think lock makers would follow suit.
no, him reviewing their locks is for the best because that way they can actually see any mistakes or flaws and fix them, meaning they can make better and safer locks
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much I bought a set of new locks and messed up setting the first combination. Spent ages trying to get it to lock. Your video saved me purchasing another set. Brilliant!!
I was on a walk with my dog and as we were going through a field, found a master lock security cable with the 875 locked onto one of the loops. I brought it home, watched your video and easily had the lock opened and then changed the code. I am sure I will put this to good use. Thanks, great video and super helpful.
@@travisleeds2910 The lock is an obvious symbol. If you see a door while getting to know your new workplace, you may open it. If you see a lock on it, well, nevermind then.
I've watched almost all your videos all the way back from 6 years you are absolutely amazing I'm sure you must have a very good career in lock picking..great content thank you
This video helped so much! We had a lock on our work gate and pretty sure someone changed the combo just to be a butt. So I watched this video and give it a shot and it worked! When I got it opened I automatically thought of Skyrim "lockpicking increased to 2"
I had one of these locks kicking around for the past couple of years. I watched the video and BAM it was open in less than a minute first try. Awesome, thanks very much!
Masterlock: spends 10 years and 15 million dollars on redesigning their patent combo lock to be impregnable LL: ends Masterlocks career in 30 seconds with zero budget.
it's so strange. im sure Masterlock must have people that specialize in lockpicking that test their locks so either they need to fire the guy that does that or they need to start listening to his advice.
I’m a truck driver I was locked inside a parking lot with a gate using this exact lock. This video helped me get out to make on time delivery. Thank you.
Just had a POD delivered that I had locked a year and a half ago with an 875. I had forgotten the combination. Took me 2 minutes to open using these instructions. Great that I got it open, but disconcerting that I had trusted my belongings to this lock. Happy that PODS kept it in a secured.lot.
What really sucks is I had a high end abloy lock on my storage unit, and out of all the locks that where cut, only the people using the higher end locks had theirs Broken into. All the cheap $6 puck style locks where left alone.
Thank you for allowing my job of the day to be easier! Had to throw away a bunch of crap from a unit and the property people thought that this kind of lock could keep me out of the dumpster. Kudos kindzir.
Wow! thanks you so much I have similar lock and someone change combination accidentally and I was able to open it with the help of your video thank you again God bless you
One day, years ago when I had nothing to do I figured out that you can pick cheap number locks by pulling on the shackle and feeling the resistance on the wheels. That turned into a fun bet at a pub I used to frequent where I claimed I could open a number pad lock blindly in 20 seconds and then almost failed with 1 second left. Yesterday someone recommended your channel to me and it is enlighting and entertaining to see how these locks actually look inside and what different companies try to keep lock pickers out. So much to learn! :-)
Do they not test these locks before they put them into production? I think they need to start sending there locks to you to be tested before they do lol.
This was great! I hadn't used my tool box in a while, and I forgot the combination. I used your technique (took me a while to get the feel) and I was able to open the 🔐 lock! It saved me from having to cut it off. 😊
I bought one of these a few weeks ago and just got around to trying this. It's absurdly easy. I've blindly re-coded it a dozen times today, and it's taken probably no more than two minutes to open the lock each time.
@@skilledscript2725 yea, provided other people are curious and actually learn how to pick a Lock or decode. Everyone I mention these skills to gives me a sideways look lol
Used to work at home depot n figured out this method while being bored at the returns register (someone returned a lock with the code changed). Happens it was the same lock used all over the store so i made learned all the combos throughout the store.. Also used a paperclip to open certain locks n my supervisors didn't care cause Then they didnt have to open them for me every time
I just used this technique on a lock a coworker found. It took a little while, much longer than you showed, but it worked in the end. I need to get "the feel" down. Thank you so much. I work in security, so it may come in handy once again. Who would have thought a 5 year old video would come in handy?😊
I've never thought of locks in terms of logic gates. Now I can't think of it any other way. Thanks for teaching me this morning. I'm also going to have to buy another lock.
I went to Home Depot tonight and noticed they had these locks securing their power tools. My first thought was, wow, I could open one of these locks in under a minute. Then I noticed one which was unlocked and laying on the shelf with the combination in plain view. The combination was the store number, and I would bet that every lock in the store was set to that same combination.
Amazing! There has been this huge cable wrapped around a tree near me for well over 1 year & with this exact lock on it & after watching the 1st 8:06 of this video I walked outside & opened it within 3 mins & have never "picked" a lock in my life until right now.
Thank you for making this video! My housemate forgot their own code and was locked out of their trailer. After I watched this I opened the lock in about 30 seconds and we were able to reset the combo so they wouldn’t have the same problem again.
Dear Lock Picking Lawyer: I managed to screw up the recoding of the lock on the community garden gate, for my wife. After watching your video, I was able to decode what I had done and get the lock recoded successfully. Thank you for posting this. You saved us buying a new lock and turned me from a heel, into a hero. Signed: The Lock Picking Pilot..😀
To me it's incredible how this design works, and it feels like IRL programming using physical matter as your media. Just a different kind of existence.
This video helped me today. Unfortunately my coworker and dear friend passed away a few weeks ago and he was in control of a locker that was holding some parts we needed today for work. This lock was what was used to secure the locker and only my recently departed friend knew the combo. I remembered watching this video a few months ago and I dug through my CZcams history to pull it back up to refresh my memory of how to decide this lock. It helped me to decode and open the lock without having to open a work order to get the facilities folks to come cut the lock off. That could take weeks before they'll get around to coming out to cut the lock. I don't really pick locks but there's something I enjoy about watching your videos and today it helped me at work and also kinda sorta reconnected me with an old friend.
I just wanted to let you know that me and my wife got locked inside a state park after hours. We were late getting back and they locked us in.

The way you opened it is the most common trick in the book, we used to have these combination locks in school like 13 years ago and did it for fun during breaks.
Right before you said there was a easier way to open it i told myself (please don't tell me he's gonna pull down in the bar and then try to roll the numbers) and then you did. Happy to see the same kind of trick still hasnt been fixed
For about a year, I've noticed an obviously-abandoned bicycle cable, along with this (newer) Master lock, wrapped around a parking lot light pole down the street from where I live. Two evenings ago, right before a snowstorm, I decided to watch your video a second time, then go try my luck. I didn't time myself but, for sure, had the lock open in *under one minute.* I'd never successfully decoded a lock before, and felt a bunch of different feelings -- surprised, proud, concerned (about the value of any of the locks we own). I'd say my predominant emotion was tickled, though. I really enjoyed it. I'm now looking forward to my next opportunity to thwart some lock maker.

I was once told that locks are for keeping your neighbors out, not criminals.
What if your neighbors are secretly criminals?
And lazy criminals. They go for the easy break-in. If you have a lock, even a bad one, a lot of bad guys will just try the house next door. Most burglars aren't very bright. They just want enough for a fix ...
They keep honest people honest.
@יהוכנן לבי ok calm down messiah
Locks only keep honest people out
The core thing to remember is that you do need to put pressure on the hinge to trigger the “open/engage lock” sequence before you can feel the difference if you have the right number. If you can move the wheel while putting pressure on the hinge, then the lock is not in “open/engage open” mode. Once you figure it out, it will make sense. If you still don’t understand, watch 7:27 over and over until you find a number and you can compare. This is the key to understanding this lock
This is fantastic! I work in the oil and gas industry as a utility locator, and this is the lock used on most gate entrances to the lease sites.. and VERY often, there's bad communication and we arrive to sites without being given the code. I'm gonna try this next time it happens.
To be clear, we have permission to access these sites, and the gates are simply vehicle gates to keep trespassers out, so typically in these situations, if the road isn't too long, I will have to just load up all of my gear and crawl over the gate, instead of pulling our vehicle in with our equipment and personal belongings. As long as this doesn't wreck the lock, nobody will have an issue with it..... and in fact, I guarantee, the fact that we won't have to come out a second time after rearranging the day, costing the company hundreds to thousands of extra dollars, would be greatly appreciated.

I love your program. I learn so much from you. I was a locksmith for 3 years, but all new devices on the market today and love it. I did my time back in the 90's and everything so difference today's standard. Ty for your sight. I've learned a lot from you.
Nice to see it explained. I recall we used to use this method in JC for number lock combinations whenever someone forgot the combination of the lock to their locker. Fortunately, it was always used to help people and not to break into lockers. That must have been like 30 years ago =)
When I went to college in the 1970’s I lived in the dorms. Many students had a bicycle and they would store them in the basement, the basement was full of bikes. Back then, everyone used a simple chain with a built-in combo lock (you still see similar locks even today). They were so easy to open it was ridiculous, you would just pull on them as you turned the combo lock and feel for a click to get the correct number. As a prank, someone opened every lock and move them to different bikes. Lol, the next few days everyone went crazy saying they could not open their locks on their bike!
Haha....nasty prank my man!!
Upon reading my comment I realized that 3 HAs would sound better than 2 HAs. So here it is.
Hahaha....nasty prank my man!!
By the way, I am still here on this upload because I feel good about being able to open a Master lock now after I tried the "no tool method".

I just posted a similar comment. The thing that gets me, 40+ years later and Master is still making junk locks.
YES! I just made this comment too! I remember forgetting my combo all the time but it didn't matter because it was useless!
Was yours one of the light chain ones with the colored plastic sleeves over it and the cheap chrome job on the steel?
Hahaha that would be nice to watch on security camera would have millions of views today.
Master still hasn't learned. I used a similar technique 50 years ago on school lockers when kids forgot their combinations. I could simply feel when I hit a good number and typically opened those padlocks in a couple of minutes. I probably missed a chance to have an interesting locksmith career lol.
Or a lockbreaking career
A LOT of number lock are crap in this department. That's the sad truth. They're often truly just honest people deterrants.
I remember in school I could open any master lock by just taking off my gym shoe and giving it a good whack. It didn’t even hurt the lock, just opened it.
you can do the exact same with Daiso’s fixed-code combination bike lock. i’ve used it a few times for very (very) low-risk applications and forgot the code once. barely took me longer than when i had the code.
It’s pretty noticeable. I figured it out as a kid too on my dad’s briefcase, liquor cabinet, and the lockbox we used for a garage sale.
Love your videos and your instruments are great quality. Thank you.
Thank you, took longer to watch video than it did to open the lock. First time. Now we can go to work. Life saver. ❤

If I was Masterlock I would just send this guy a million dollars to never review or use their products in videos and take down all these videos.
Why would he need a million dollars from Master Lock, when there is that much money just lying in that bank vault...
@sightinsight Precisely what I was going to say. If it's a good strategy for the NSA and CIA to hire hackers you'd think lock makers would follow suit.
@sightinsight Possibly more $$$ to be made in extortion.
Why would he take the money though? He makes plenty through CZcams and would lose viewers if he sold out
no, him reviewing their locks is for the best because that way they can actually see any mistakes or flaws and fix them, meaning they can make better and safer locks
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much I bought a set of new locks and messed up setting the first combination. Spent ages trying to get it to lock. Your video saved me purchasing another set. Brilliant!!
I was on a walk with my dog and as we were going through a field, found a master lock security cable with the 875 locked onto one of the loops. I brought it home, watched your video and easily had the lock opened and then changed the code. I am sure I will put this to good use. Thanks, great video and super helpful.

Just had a POD delivered that I had locked a year and a half ago with an 875. I had forgotten the combination. Took me 2 minutes to open using these instructions. Great that I got it open, but disconcerting that I had trusted my belongings to this lock. Happy that PODS kept it in a secured.lot.
"Locks are only for honest people" this will always be true.
I don't think that's true at all.

One day, years ago when I had nothing to do I figured out that you can pick cheap number locks by pulling on the shackle and feeling the resistance on the wheels. That turned into a fun bet at a pub I used to frequent where I claimed I could open a number pad lock blindly in 20 seconds and then almost failed with 1 second left. Yesterday someone recommended your channel to me and it is enlighting and entertaining to see how these locks actually look inside and what different companies try to keep lock pickers out.
So much to learn! :-)
And yet the same trick still works
It worked four decades ago, these lock companies clearly don't fully test the locks they make for exploits.
Do they not test these locks before they put them into production? I think they need to start sending there locks to you to be tested before they do lol.
testing cost money, so...no.
They prolly have a guy come up with a decent design and then simplify it at every stage to save costs on production.
Bobby Keyz To be fair it's the same kind of vulnerability that Class 2 combination safe locks suffer from albeit significantly less difficulty to do.
It needs to be early in prototyping. After they invest in tooling, it’s too late to economically change.
master lock doesn't really care. they spend tons on marketing
This was great! I hadn't used my tool box in a while, and I forgot the combination. I used your technique (took me a while to get the feel) and I was able to open the 🔐 lock! It saved me from having to cut it off. 😊
I very much appreciate your videos. Fascinating mechanisms! Thanks!
I bought one of these a few weeks ago and just got around to trying this. It's absurdly easy. I've blindly re-coded it a dozen times today, and it's taken probably no more than two minutes to open the lock each time.

Then I noticed one which was unlocked and laying on the shelf with the combination in plain view. The combination was the store number, and I would bet that every lock in the store was set to that same combination.
Can confirm. I used to work overnight stocking at a Home Depot and every combination was the store number.

This video helped me today. Unfortunately my coworker and dear friend passed away a few weeks ago and he was in control of a locker that was holding some parts we needed today for work. This lock was what was used to secure the locker and only my recently departed friend knew the combo.
I remembered watching this video a few months ago and I dug through my CZcams history to pull it back up to refresh my memory of how to decide this lock. It helped me to decode and open the lock without having to open a work order to get the facilities folks to come cut the lock off. That could take weeks before they'll get around to coming out to cut the lock.
I don't really pick locks but there's something I enjoy about watching your videos and today it helped me at work and also kinda sorta reconnected me with an old friend.
