How To Unlock Cable Bike Lock Without Combination
If you guys watch my videos, you know I love mechanical stuff. I love taking
things apart putting back together fixing things
just figuring out things work. I've always had a fascination with locks and opening
locks
and so when I bought this bike
this cable lock came on one of the bikes I bought
so anyway I was gonna go ahead, I gotta figure out how to
open it.
You know just I could have cut off with a bolt cutter or whatever
but no I gotta figure out how to get it off there
I could have tried just rotating these dials until I came up with the right combination through brute force
but I am going to show you an easier way
One thing I have already done is I've already sprayed the dials down with WD-40 so that they're moving
nice a smoothly. They were a little bit stiff to begin with
and having them move we definitely helps
opening like this. The cable comes out this way
so what I going to do is I'm gonna go ahead and pull the cable out
push it it with my thumb here so I'mm pulling the cable out
now one of these dials should have a little more resistance than the other
three dials and it's this first dial
so what I am going to do is I am going to go ahead and just rotate this around until it almost
falls into like a hole like it kinda catches
and right there it seemed to catch, seem to fall right there
so now I'm going to find one of these other dials should have
more resistance and it's a second dial. They might might
not necessarily be in order. So it could be the first one then the third one or the fourth
one then the second one
but right now it's the second one. SO am going to rotate this around
until seems to a fall into a hole and right there seem to fall on a hole
so now if I got it, one of these other dials
should be a little stiffer and its this dial here the third dial so I am going to go
ahead
rotate that and it seemed to fall in a hole right
there. So hopefully that's it. So now
and there's resistance now on this first dial, so now I am going to go ahead
rotate this first dial. haha and right there!
So I got that. And let me see.
And right there's the combination 7598
and that's how you open one is combination locks
