How to unlock galant file cabinet
Unlock your Ikea combination
hello hope you find this video helpful I
got locked out
akia cabinets two days ago my toddler
had played with the combination that I
hadn't used for probably about a year
and I forgotten it and she locked the
cabinet and I didn't did not know how to
get back into it with without a without
the combination so in this video I'll
show you how to recover that combination
just using a simple tool this is the
kind of IKEA cabinet I'm talking about
like this kind of this is a simple one
goes along a desk and I think they
probably makes several cabinets that use
this kind of combination lock and you
could use this technique for any of
those kind of cabinets that is this kind
of combination like this three-digit
combination lock so this was a situation
I had this drawer open because I get
into stuff in and out of it often and
this was probably in the open position
like this and I probably just had their
number the correct number combination
here I just left this open like this for
months like this and just used it like a
normal board and really use the lock and
think what she did was she came in here
closes drawer like this turn the
combination like that and you start
playing with the numbers like this like
that then all of a sudden you're locked
out so can't get into the cabinet at all
and without knowing the combination I
was pretty much locked out of my own
cabinet so I'm going to show you how to
recover that combination using a simple
tool okay this is the tool I'm going to
be using it's a very it's a sharp knife
it's a steak knife but it's super super
thin and it's got a really good low fine
point on it and you need a tool very
similar this needs to have a nice little
point on it that you can feel around on
and it's going to be super thin so that
you can get in between these on
in between these number dials and people
feel around on them okay so that's one
thing this is basically how this is
working here then each of the number
dials is just basically a circle with a
knock on it and we need to find that
knock we're using the tip of this knife
to do that so we're going to use the tip
of the knife to find that knock and we
need to do that three times so for each
of the Dallas so we need to find three
knocks once we find the three knocks
we'll be able to open a combination okay
we'll start now here is the first number
and we'll start here on on the left hand
side and I'll just put the knife in here
point down along that wheel and I'll
slowly turn it I'm feeling for that
knock just turning it and feeling for
the neck there I felt it go down so down
like that's pretty obvious when you hit
it small at the knock is pretty small
but if you have a good tip the little
tip there you should be able to feel it
when it falls down on there so I'll go
and set to 5 because that's number
closest to the knock and again I'm going
to same thing on the second one here
yeah I felt it go down right there so go
to 1 because that was closest to the
knock and sink in here
this is the third one and for the neck
there's time to go down so move over to
the next the closer number which is
going to be four so that's what we got
so now at this point we've got the three
numbers and the knocks are all facing
upward so that's actually how we had to
do it because we needed to find them
when we had not have to find the knocks
we actually need all the all the knocks
to face downward so we need to rotate
this whole combination through 180
degrees to be able to get to the correct
number and easiest way of doing that is
just rotate each one of these together
and just make sure you have them even
and just test each one that's the
easiest way you could also just rotate
180 degrees but you might be off by one
number or something so if you just do
each one you know you'll get it okay so
I think we're getting really close now
and that's it so that's an elegant now
we can open tonight again so that's
pretty much it
and then down
