Great videos. You explain how it works very well. I have a question about mounting the safe lock on the stand. The spindle I have is too long. Is it ok to cut it so it will fit?
@lockmanipulator10 күн бұрын
Yes, that is ok. Although with older, vintage locks it's more common to keep the spindle long and have a thicker mount to account for it.

Good morning! How should I set wheels 1 & 2 if I found that wheel 3's lowest point and gate is exactly on my right contact point? Last number in combination is 3 but right contact point is usually 3.5. Each time I perform wheel isolation on wheel 2 or 1, I get the dial seating right at 3 even if I dial it to 4 or 5. Should I set wheel 3 at 7 to avoid dropping into the contact point/3rd number when isolating wheel 2? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not bragging but I had to figure this all out on my own 35 years ago without videos. Would've saved me a ton of time 😂 Thats what great about youtube. There are some that have to be drilled. But with enough practice you can manipulate about 90% of them.

I’m confused. Why did you start at 50 then proceeded to feel the contact points at 2 and 96…then immediately you started at 0

Great series! I just bought a house with a floor safe (a Star with an S&G lock) that I was not given the combination to. I tried the technique in your video series but have not gotten a clear gate signature yet. I'm going to try the technique in your book next. But one question I have is when feeling for the right contact point there's a point where you can feel and hear the metal on metal contact. Do you want to take the reading as close as possible to that point? I have one spot where there is slight resistance about 1/4 to 3/8 before the metal on metal feeling/sound. That resistance goes away when I move wheel 3. Could that be a gate? Thanks again for all your help!!
@michaelwetter67334 ай бұрын
I'm going to answer my own question, in case anyone else has questions about sticky dials. I cracked the safe, but it wasn't as straightforward as the tutorial shows, in part because my dial was so sticky it could be hard to feel the contact point. What I ended up doing was very quickly moving the dial over the contact point so that I could feel and hear the metal on metal. Then I coaxed the dial to just that point where there was a hard stop. It was delicate work and took practice. The gate on my wheel 3 was also shadowed by wheel two and it took me a while to get wheel 2 positioned such that I could feel the gate on wheel 3.

Number one YOU DO NOT SPIN the dial, 2nd you turn left to pick up all the wheels and go from there. If you are going to post post it right. I dont know where you got your info but it is wrong. the correct sequence is left 4, right 3, left 2 and right 1 or to open

I have been poring over your video series. As a result, and displaying far more confidence than I feel, I have volunteered to open an S&G safe at a relation's house in a few weeks. (Purchased house with inbuilt safe, no code!!!) You present it very well, so I am hopeful! The ability to visualise appears essential in this. I saw elsewhere, where a logarithmic scale was temporarily stuck above the 0-9 of the dial, with 10 increments. If anyone has used a vernier calliper, this may make sense. It seemed to be very effective in determining fractions of an increment when finding the contact points. If you Google "Safe combination lock manipulation: How to read a Vernier scale", it should bring up a video showing how it works. Or put same into the YT search bar.

Thats great but i've had to adapt here XD. The safe given to me was a 4083 (unknown maker), that was stored in my great grandma house (im brazillian), so it doesnt quite spin so fluidly XD neither does it responds very well to teeny tiny touches to the wheel. I've opened the key already, picked it easily. Now moved on to crack the code. The metal is very hard to read, it has a lot of "grips" and scratches withing the mechanism, i believe there is plenty of rust, loose components etc. Will update you all when i eventually beat that miserable shit.

I had a question I was hoping you could help me with. @ 4:16 you have reset and are about to check the Contact Points. You rotate the dial Left from 98 and read 96 3/8 for the Right Contact Point, BUT then you go Left again to read the Left Contact Point. In every other example previously when you are using 0 as the reference point you are ensuring to go Right and left of 0, never passing it, in this case you do pass 98, or am I not understanding something. I want to say think you for these amazing videos, they are very complex and I am taking a lot of notes as I have a hard time understanding this, I am hoping with more practice it will become more natural. Thank You

It’s a great video but I was not able to understand anything! I do have a question though. Can anyone break into someone’s house and feel these ‘contact points’ and eventually crack the safe? Is it common for burglars to know how to find the combination numbers through the way you are showing in this video?
@2Fly4me779 ай бұрын
There are very few scenarios in which a burglar will be trying to crack a safe with this method and it means there are many other shortcomings with your security as a whole. It's similar to lock picking in the sense that the vast majority of burglar's are quick fast and very destructive. The safe you have in your house will be more likely to be axed into or broken open with tools then manipulated
