what's going on guys I'm bill and
welcome to Bill's held - today we've got
an interesting video and that's how to
open up a combination padlock when you
don't know what the code is so a lot of
people tend to forget what their code is
or you might have an old padlock like
this one here sitting around your house
and you're not sure what the code is so
today I'm gonna show you guys how to
figure out what the old code was and
also how to reset it so this one here is
a three wheel combination lock they
generally come in three or four wheels
the process is going to be exactly the
same this one here is made by master
which is a very good reputable company
makes locks all around the world but
that's not going to stop us from being
able to crack the code so the first
thing we want to always try is the
default code so many people don't change
the code when buying locks and the
default code is triple zero in this case
or if you've got four wheels it'll be
four zeros so let's turn these over to
the zeros lining them all up with that
red line and then pull on that shackle
so once that's open we can then push
that down on the backside and we can
change the code so if you wanted to
change the code you can now change the
code up here reapply that shackle and
that's now changed so what we're going
to do is we're going to scramble this
cover with my hand so that we can't see
what the new code is and we're gonna
have a live example to see how to crack
the code so let's just shuffle this one
here up I'll try and click all of them
in position pull that shackle out close
it and then really scramble the lock so
now we've got a lock that we don't know
what the code is first thing we need to
do line all of these up any number
doesn't matter what it is as long as
it's straight in line with that line
here what we're going to do next
is pull on the shackle we're going to
apply a little bit of tension and what
that does is that causes these wheels to
bind up just a little bit so that you
can feel some sort of feedback from the
wheels you can also hear the difference
in the clicks you might find a bit of
resistance in the wheels and at the same
time you might say the shackle moving
back and forward just slightly so let's
apply a little bit of tension by pulling
on the shackle pushing it away from the
body of the lock and we want to start on
either side so I tend to find the most
most amount of
we'll be on the farthest wheel away so
we'll start on this one here clicking it
over one by one very slowly we want to
listen and feel for any kind of
difference or feedback that comes from
that wheel it tends to usually come
right before the click so I felt that
moved just slightly on the force I'll
leave this one where it is we'll move on
to the next one
possible feedback on number two so we'll
leave that want to move on to the next
one again and I just felt that check or
move so we'll leave this one where it is
we'll go back to the start and double
check again so back on number four this
snail has binded up so what that happens
is once you've got bit too much pressure
on here the will actually bind up so
what you need to do take the pressure
off the shackle move that number back
reapply the tension and check the
numbers again so once again take that
pressure off
once again the feedback is back on the
number four we'll try the middle one
I felt that move slightly
we'll leave that on the seven go back to
the start
does take a bit of time but that's part
of the fun
leave that on the five go back here
back on the two
very constant feedback on this one er in
the fall so I'm pretty sure this one
he's the four could be the first one
that's wrong
and there we have it so that code there
was five seven four and we've now
cracked this code what you want to do
once you've done that once again push
the shackle in reset the code there's
something that you'll remember this time
like triple zero pull it out
reinstall the shackle and we're ready to
go another thing that we can do is
rather than pulling on the shackle with
your hands that tends to absorb some of
the shock that comes through these
wheels what you can do is attach it to
something metal so I'm just going to use
that a belt clip on the back of my
utility knife slop that through and by
holding onto that we're able to get a
little bit more of the impact coming
through and that will give you a bit
more feedback so once again let's reset
this code triple zero open that up lock
it in place we'll scramble it get these
lined up I'm not too concerned with not
knowing the code at the moment and then
once again we'll pull this time using
the metal clip that'll give us a little
bit more of the feedback so once again
line these up into position pull that
tension on and we want to run through
these once again so we'll do a little
bit quicker this time
not getting much feedback on this middle
one we move on to the next one take the
tension off
leave that one on number one start again
from this side
tenshun off
put a little bit of feedback on number
two so we'll try the middle one once
again usually once you're pretty
confident with two of the numbers
because this one here is a three will
with the third will we can just do a
process of elimination try every single
number not too confident at the moment
but we'll just try it
so back to the beginning bit of movement
on zero
get a movement on two and there we have
it guys so there you have it guys
hopefully you've enjoyed the video this
is an easy way to be able to crack the
code I haven't come across a combination
lock that I haven't been able to open
using this method hopefully you've
enjoyed the video as always like comment
and subscribe until next time I'm bill
thanks for watching Bills out to
