Thanks for another great video and explaining how the working "guts" all come together.

[@NivagSwerdna]

this was really interesting. i used to, many decades ago, open these really easily and thought i had lost the knack but it must be the false gates which perhaps were a later feature and make it trickier.

[@scottodd3437]

love the complete explanation of how it all works.

[@DonzLockz]

Great working demonstration, easier to understand. Cheers

Best decoding of this China p.lock . Full information about that game!) I have one like your lock 🔐 Now I finish to understand it )!!! Thank You L.N. Very interesting video 👍 It not easy like on video))) but ten minutes and lock open !!!

[@bobbykeyz1263]

another great video and very well explained. I really like to pick and decode combo locks. I've decoded enough that now that that I have discovered the feel for them and have gotten pretty good at it. I'm sure you have tought many a great deal in this video so thank you for that.

[@HaJoSchatz]

Why does the inner wheel have a "wider cog" at the position of the true gate? Is this to support a locksmith feeling for the position of the gate and easing their job?

[@tonyholt90]

very informative. I liked that vid....

[@jp9707]

What did you use to grind off the rivets holding the lock together? I've suddenly gotten this huge desire to take apart a combination lock in the past few days, to see the inside and have fun taking the pieces apart and putting them back together. With this aim I bought the most cheaply-made combination lock I could find, from eBay. I thought it was made of plastic, but it was made of metal painted to look like plastic. I guess this is pretty obvious, but it turns out it's really hard to break open a lock. Who would have thought? I've been trying to wear down the rivets with various tools that I've got in the shed (screwdrivers and sanders), but they're really not up to the task, and have just scratched the surface. What did you use? Cheers!

[@LockNoob]

I think I used a dremel

[@paulpaul9914]

The ability to pick a combination lock has allowed cats to be freed from sheds they accidentally got locked into just before the owner went away for a lengthy period of time.

[@SC-rb2jr]

Very good video but sometimes it was hard to see the details.

[@valentine7647]

can you do a video on showing how to put the pieces back to its original position, i accidentally dropped my combination lock on the floor and it shattered in pieces

[@Potti314]

Very good explanation and thanks for taking one apart for us. Does the cheap one that you opened, feel the same as the ABUS when decoding? I experienced that for example the ABUS 165/40 feels a bit different to the 145/40. So I thought there might be slight differences in the behavior. You know how mad I 'm after combinations lock ;-) So please tell me the name of the Chinese padlock - I believe that I can get it on ebay but I need to know that name. Thanks and I'm glad that the padlock-deal with g-man has worked out well :-)

[@LockNoob]

Potti314, hi! The Chinese one feels similar, but you can feel that the tolerances are poorer in it: it's no Abus! As for the name of the lock... you already have one :-) it's the same lock as the one I sent you in your video 285 :-)

[@Potti314]

Haha, while writing my original comment I somehow thought that I knew that Chinese lock. Now I checked my combination locks and found the exact same model ;-) Still don't know how it came to me as I could find a video about it but it feels different to the ABUS - you can feel the bad quality. Haha, either I have too many locks or I'm getting old or both ;-)

[@Potti314]

Haha, thank you mate - I'm definitely getting old and have too many locks ;-)

[@LockNoob]

Potti314 ha, you and me both my friend :-)

[@Valhalla764]

I reticently bought a case with this type of lock and could change the code from the default code of 000 to any other code i wondered how this worked now i know

[@LockNoob]

Awesome :-)

[@antoniomelis6977]

Is it the same for safes? Like the old one that require a key too, we have the key but the combination is lost cause it was my grandfather's safe

[@Djohno2701]

Can these be decoded with a shim like the sparrows ultra decoder?

[@b1jen_moirangthem_]

my luggage TSA lock is kind of not working properly !!! would it help if i open the system and reassemble it again?? PLEASE REPLY.. THANKS

[@LockNoob]

The TSA locks are usually very poorly made. I really would recommend buying another if you can as I’m not sure repairing it will be too practical.

[@b1jen_moirangthem_]

thanks brother 👌👌

[@bijayadutta7201]

I have one too

[@sirpfa]

Nice video but I wish you could zoom in... Is there any 3D animation where it teaches how to design these combination lock? I need to design a miniature size one

[@LockNoob]

Sorry, these are super old videos though!

[@sirpfa]

Lock Noob its ok. Since you seem to be an expert in this, i was wondering is it possible for you to guide me to how i can design my own miniature sized combination lock?

[@advaithkandiraju1720]

@@sirpfa did you figure out how to design a lock like this? If yes please let me know, it would be great if you can share any 3D file or cad file. Thanks in advance!

[@sirpfa]

@@advaithkandiraju1720 hi to be honest i didnt put my mind in it that much do dive so deep in it. But i saw some miniature sized ones in the market but not as small as i wanted and still dont know how they work... i looked at patents and still nothing. What is your application for it? If not a secret. Maybe i can help you.

[@advaithkandiraju1720]

@@sirpfa I'm not making a miniature of it but I just wanted to try it out on fusion 360. Finding it really complex to proceed further! Thanks.
