How to crack a combination lock for key safe, this method should work for suit cases as well

In this video I will show how to crack open a combination lock. This method should work for most lock used in key safes and suit cases.
Some earlier combination locks used to have a line that you can see through the gaps. If you can see the line then all you have to do is line up all the lines and you won't need the paper and pencil.

[@Andres-fb8gm]

Literally 3 years having this lock bc my little brother forgot the combination, until I accidentally landed this video , first try , opened , god bless this gentle soul.

You can find this information in any library since the 1960s. Try reading a book and not relying on censored youtube and google results.

[@carolinegibbs2992]

I’m SO grateful to you for posting this. I had tried all the other ones with shimmies made out of Coke cans, lock-picking tools etc. Your explanation of ‘how’ the locks work was super-helpful. The method was simple and brilliant. With my keysafe, it was the ‘five moves on’ which cracked it. Thank you SO SO much Ken😊

you're welcome 😊

Omg I watched three other lock picking videos before this, and yours was the one which helped me the most. Understanding how there's a flat surface on a barrel and how the combination numbers afterwards needed to be facing the inside of the lockbox. Thank you! You just saved me having to angle grind my lockbox off a wall!!!

[@Poirieet]

Many thanks for this great video. I managed to open my THIRARD key box with this method. Brilliant sharing.

[@patrickdaly2121]

Brilliant. We’ve lived here for 15 months and couldn’t use the key safe. I’ve just watched your video and it took me 5 minutes to find the code. Thanks. Brilliant.

[@oliver5125]

Having tried the shim method without success I tried this and got the lock open in minutes. Make sure you mark the paper with a good pencil line so the flat part of the rod is then obvious when the paper goes in deeper and the line disappears. Do this with each of the four rows then rotate each through 180 degrees and hey presto! Thank you Ken Kanfix for such a lucid guide!

[@alexhidalgo9709]

Your comment helped me open the damn box, thank you so much for your information

[@aslibabaji]

Got this at 4595 what's the combination after 180 degree rotation. Kindly help😢

Hey 😊😊 found it..... Just add 5 to each number and voila🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 u got it.... The happiness is next level

[@anniecartwright1]

Thank you, Ken, for taking the time to show how to get back into the safe After I STUPIDITY for the code I put in years ago. You're a legend, mate 👍👍😃 Thank you👍👍

[@AB-po3vi]

Wow. It actually worked. I'm literally in shock. I was even thinking yesterday that while using the shim method, that you can tell the levels of the dials are higher and lower then eachother. I was thinking of a way of how to get them at the same level to. But I didn't even think of this. What's great about this, is when you make your line, make it prominent. As you turn the dials, the dip of the line will obviously match it, or disappear. That's how you'll know you're doing it right.

[@YTsux24-7]

There is a reason I bought one of these locks years ago and never installed this on my house, and you just proved it. Thank you

Hell yes! Had to open two locks and could not find a shim. Tried a needle but no luck. One search, found this video and boom! 5 min later both locks are open and removed. Thanks for saving me from having to test 20000 combinations 🙏🏼

[@vichuang5400]

Wow, the best easy and smart way! I have tried 3 other ways and couldn't solve the problem, then I found this video. If only I had seen this video in the very beginning, I would not spent a lot of time retrieving the forgotten code. Thank you, Smart Ken!

Literally came to say this. This is by far the easiest way and doesn't take much longer than the others

[@amac2573]

Thanks. Got box open in less that 5 minutes. So much easier to follow than the other videos I had watched.

[@lindstrem]

dude, you are such a legend for posting this. We have 11 of these boxes in our hostel and three of them are locked out since months. I have watched other tutorials and it never worked out but with your way its flawless, i opened all three key boxes. Finally! Thank you so much for this.

[@sisyphussapprentice8976]

Having looked at quite literally dozens of useless videos on the subject, eventually a simple one that actually works. Thank you so much.

[@alexhidalgo9709]

To all people watching, after finding the place where the paper slips on each row, spin every number 5 times. Being impatient and not watching the full video cost me a lot of time It works like a charm!

[@colinmscott]

I see lots of people thanking you for helping them open their key boxes, but in doing so you have rendered all these boxes obsolete. Anyone can now open this type of box and burgle the houses. So well done for that.

[@denislostinlondon199]

Watch McNallyOfficial. These locks are obsolete from new.

Congratulations and thank you. A guest left my Short Term Rental house and somehow managed to lock the Keysafe with a random number. After looking at your methodical and very well presented clip, I tried it and bingo! Saved me on the angle grinder technique and the expense & inconvenience of purchasing another one! Cheers 😊

[@donaldpotter5992]

Thanks, I accidentally locked after I had just bought it , and your video showed me how to undo my error

[@dicksonokello9088]

Thank you so much, I forgot the password to the key safe lock box. I saw your video and followed the instructions. The method was simple and easy and it worked. Thank you once again.

[@RobertTyrrell-h5g]

I tried to use my key safe yesterday and it wouldn't work so I thought I had forgotten the combination and your video really helped me to work out that it wasn't my memory LoL - it turned out that some water had gotten into the mechanism over the winter so I cleaned it all out and lubricated it. I did try working out the combination and I was really scratching my head until I thought about looking on youTube. I found you very helpful video and 5 minutes later I had it all sorted so thank you very much for a great instructional video.

[@becshudson44]

Absolutely works. Friend of ours has forgot it for years and I’ve tried random things eventually found this and 10mins later it worked! A leaflet worked well and mark the line. Genius, thank you

Can't thank you enough for this Ken. Just bought a house with one of these same key safes on the wall, previous owners had no idea of the code. It was seriously annoying! 90 seconds with a piece of plastic cut from a box of grapes and it was open. The 'spin for 5 digits' technique worked. Fantastic.

[@Subliminal2022]

I have seen a lot of elderly people around our way, who have these on their outside wall, including my parents. These spell alarm bells for me, and what's more is a friend they apparently know suggested it. My parents can't see letters clearly & had a great big print of the word GAS in their kitchen, so how would they ever see these numbers. More to the point, my father said he didn't know how to use this box thing! Both my parents are well over 80 years old, and I'm now extremely worried about their safety.

[@JonnyG0969]

The box has nothing to do with there safety. There will always be criminals they are not looking for these boxes. You shouldn't watch these if your mind is so corruot

[@beth06dias]

Boy, you are a genius, I watched several tutorials and only with your technique I managed. thank you so much for helping

[@eimc11]

I was watching several videos and trying to open the box for an hour, when I was about to give up I saw your video and in 5 minutes I was able to open it. Excellent video and very easy technique. The best

This is the best tutorial that I've tried and could successfully crack the codes for the brand new lockboxes which my husband had forgotten 13yrs ago.

[@jokerthealienmonkey]

I bought one of these (diferent make, but same 4 digit combination lock). After doing the 1st part and almost skiped the video, but some how I decided to read the comments and that made me finish the video / tutorial. And voilá!!!!! It was like magic... it opened after I turn the digits 5 times like it's said on the video. This is the one guys! Don't waist your time on other videos. Just watch all the video and you will get it on 1st try. BIG LIKE and THANK YOU A LOT!

[@WizzardofOdds]

Criminals all over are thankful for your video, lock boxes that still use this type of mechanism are no longer safe.

I have just bought a large, heavy, safe for my valuables. Although the combination dial is not working, I plan to try and fix it after watching another video explaining how to do that, hopefully. So, this video is of no immediate help right now, but I just wanted to thank you for explaining this excellent method of doing so on another type of combination lock, should I ever come across that problem. Well done.

This is the best explanation out of all the videos I've seen. The diagram in the beginning made it all make sense and. Thanks dude

Thank you so much for the video. It’s the easiest to understand and the most fabulous thing is that you do not need ANY tool but a piece of hard paper!! Thanks ever so much!!

[@pamelajohnson7948]

YES!!!! I'm not going to say what I really said when my lock opened but this crap worked!!!!! I almost passed out when I saw what my combo was. I never would have remembered it. At first I thought it wasn't going to work then I heard you say turn it 5 times. I had to turn mine 5 times. This is a life saver. Now I'm about to try the other one that I threw to the side and bought another one. If this works on this one I'll have TWO. I can't say Thank You enough. Update: I couldn't get the other open😔 but 1 out of 2 is good enough for me. I'll keep working

Totally saved my life after I accidentally closed my key lockbox before I was finished setting the code. Thank you so much. I tried several other instructions that didn’t work at all, this took me 2 tries and under 10 mins. Although, this does make me wonder why we even bother using them, when they’re so easily defeated by paper scraps and a pencil. Lol.

I bought one of these forgotten combination key safes at a yard sale for a buck. I tried 700 or so possible combinations out of 10,000 before I gave up; very sore fingers. I will try your method as soon as I remember where I put the key safe.

[@150flyer]

Thank you for posting this video. I couldn't get into my key safe box. I thought I knew the code, but didn't seem to work, so assumed I must have changed it. Trying this method confirmed what the code was. It was in fact what I thought it was, and turned out the rocker switch to open it had got stiff and stuck. With a bit of force it did then open.

I work security and i swear, they generally do everything except try to pick the lock.

I don't understand why they never just try to pick it or at least aim for obvious weak spots but I swear, most of them are dumb as hell

[@jayc2469]

I have only *Ever* used a sliver of spring steel or something at least metallic but this truly affective! As long as the strip of thin card / plastic fits without buckling, it will work. Once the Flats have been found on the *Front* numbers, 5 turns on each cylinder, with the dial rotating *Downwards* will find and open the lock. Many thanks for this!
