[275] Master Lock 140D | How To Open Any In Seconds!

[@davidmcalevey6465]

Good video. I have been using the 140 as my practice lock. Using only a tension wrench and pick made from window wiper. Took me long time to figure out tension vs pick ratios. Some are really stuck so release tension incremental until you have first pin set. The easiest way I've found to know after first set is shake next to your ear you will hear a loose sounding rattle then set second 3 4 etc.is very easy to overset this as sheer line on most of these locks will have one pin set so low as to only need .5mm to set.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for sharing, I have done that from time to time as well :-)

[@fall22123]

I have too. I know there's a couple of security pins in it.

Fortress is the first lock I've ever picked besides the clear, resin practice locks

[@iyeetsecurity922]

1:35 My two aren't engraved like that. They say "China No 140" upside down under the bottom of the keyway. _And_ using the same comb picks as you, it doesn't work.

Same here

@@HelpfulLockPicker I enjoy your channel, but your copy/paste _"Thanks for sharing"_ response to literally everything is anything but helpful.

[@geradoodoo]

There are some 140 models aren’t susceptible to comb picking

[@forric23]

When you ever do a tear down and find a short steel bar inside the driver springs, it's to prevent this overlifting technique. Hope that helps.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for sharing this tidbit of info!

[@MizanQistina]

How about Solex padlocks?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I am not familiar with them, I would need to have one in person to try it out or see some pictures of the keyway and roughly what the bible looks like.

[@MizanQistina]

@@HelpfulLockPicker It is the most popular padlock in my country, almost having a legendary status :)), the hardest padlock ever created. Don't try to smash it.

​@@nodakjohnsful I live in SEA, although they have their factory here, Solex is USA product, so there should be plenty in USA

[@abouimad1293]

How do I make it and what are the sizes for it and some other tools

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

This tool is much better to purchase than to make yourself. You can buy them cheaply. I should have one linked in the video description.

Junior must be keeping papa busy. Thanks for the video my friend.

[@bird718]

will any comb pick be sufficient? do you recommend a certain brand over another?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

They all more or less work the same. The brand I used in this video is from Sparrows . The challenge is more finding locks it will work on.

[@rafterh2181]

So i have a new 140 and this will not work. The 1 pin is extra long with a short set

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I am sorry to hear this but luckily it should not be a hard pick anyway

[@mikezemba1437]

Does the letters at the of the padlock numbers D,DLF etc. Make a difference on the padlock?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I have only picked the 140D so I don't have anything to compare it to

[@W4ReLL]

I choose mine with a very hard key, I don't have the right comb to bypass it. Very good video instead 😉👍

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thank you for the kind words. If you would like to know one fun fact about this lock it is I actually use it on my locker at work, lol

[@roysammons2445]

Excellent explanation on how to use a comb pick and why it works. Have you done any videos on the knife bypass. If not it would be great to hear you explain in detail. Talking through what you feel as you press against the locking pawl. Maybe have something to show inside as you explain. Just a thought as I would find that interesting as I want to improve my technique👍🏻

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

That could be a fun video to do. I can try to get out my clear lock and see what I can do. It is not a technique I am great at so I would need to get a little practice in first :)

[@LockpickingsGal]

Great demonstration!!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@Swynndla]

Great showpiece of that vulnerability! Yes it's unacceptable that MasterLock makes some of their locks where comb picks can be used as keys! Thanks for showing. BTW - I did a pre-video on the Polish combination lock, and in it I mentioned that you are going to do a review of the white model.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Yeah, he just sent it out. Honestly, I have no idea how to go about decoding it without taking it apart. I think it will be a cool lock to play with and show off. I did recommend he send it to Sammy Kamkar, that would be an interesting person to play with it

[@Swynndla]

@@HelpfulLockPicker Nice. My one will be arriving in a week or two ... I'll have a go at decoding it then. :D :D

[@DoktorWeasel]

One question I've had about comb picks but can't find an answer for, is does it damage the lock? I'd think that jamming all the pins up in the bible would likely damage the spring. So if I do this a few times on a lock, will it cause problems for continuing to practice picking on that same lock?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

It likely does damage to the springs but from my small sample size my lock works fine after probably doing it 30+ times

[@tennesseelockpicking8803]

Something I've always wanted to add to my kit but haven't so far. I just always rake/rock the open. Great video bud.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

[@gregpluto8684]

Cool tool. I've wondered if it's possible to fit pins and drivers in chamber and open lock this way. Couldn't do it on ones I've tried, but it occurs that it can be done. What a flaw, shame on you master lock!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

This is by far not their first offense but this is a really cool method to utilize and it is a shame that it still works

Those 140s'are the easiest lock in the world to pick.

Pfft. I've been spp 140s First time I found a lock that combs actually work on.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for checking it out. It's pretty wild it works

[@parapicktog7734]

@@HelpfulLockPicker I did try it, on a 140 I have. With the comb/tok tensioners I have, and it worked, but was hard to turn. Ended up using another turning wrench with the comb. Then I tried my set of sparrows combs that are sorta triangles...two combs at right angles to each other in a single piece, and the extra leverage made it easy. I also tried it on a 130, but the bible is too short. Most locks the bible is too short, the 140 is the only lock I have that combs work.

[@cyberwasp461]

lol, guess I wasted $8 as I bought one to pick🙃

This information is to be used in a lock sport setting and not to facilitate breaking in

It’s more a demonstration of how “fuck you” easy these locks are to break into. Don’t cheap out on padlocks.

Better question is _"Why does Master Lock keep making it easy to break into things?!"_
