How to pick a combination lock with a paper clip / sewing needle life hack

[@TomLampen1958]

Thanks for your video. I accidentally changed my lock’s combination and this helped me to figure it out!

I have been trying to open this lock for years. Thanks your method actually worked. Thanks

[@vanyadavidenko]

It worked! Though the video didn't mention false gates. In my case the clip fell into multiple combinations (like 3579 or 4679 or 3610), so I had to write down all possible combinations (-2 for every digin). And try combinations intbetween. Took me

[@Watching-hb7pb]

The very best explanation on the internet; clear and straightforward. I spent an hour last night try various methods on youtube. They were too long and did not explain the process well. I opened my lock in a few minutes using Bill's approach. Thanks!!!!

[@georgebarnett7596]

Absolutely worked. Took about a minute and a heck of a lot easier than all of the other videos I watched. Thanks!

[@AvaTara]

- first let me say this is the kind of video that makes KZbin 100% valuable.... Was going to cut if off and waste a decent lock.... Felt really stupid at first cuz I couldn't get it to work. Let me caution people to watch the video to the end ... Made it happen This is what I call a valuable life skill, thank you.

[@JorgeJoan]

THANK YOU!! I tried every single combination that came to mind for my lock and nothing was working, had to end up picking my own lock to then remember why I had set that number combination!! You're a genius sir, very much appreciated video

[@vibhorgoel3934]

This is the best video on the internet

[@ardentst]

Thank you brother! This was the best method yet!! Praises!

[@renebest317]

You're a lifesaver. I rent an Airbnb and the last tenants jacked with my cleaning closet lock. Thank you!!

[@nuketeehee640]

Dude, you're a lifesaver, thank you so much. Note, the 4 number lock can also be done with a safety pin, though for only the first 2 digits really. Thats what worked for me.

[@SamChandler08]

Thank you so so much i thought you were scamming me but then a looked at the comments and kept trying. THANK YOU

[@Kicks001]

It worked! It freaking worked!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!

[@eileenaaron5523]

Thank you. I used DW40 to grease the paperclip as it wasn’t completely straight and got stuck. After that, I tried again and it worked. What a relief!!

[@johnhoskins7335]

Thank you! Worked perfectly! Make sure you have something long enough. I pushed the pin instead of tapping, which made feeling the hole easier.

[@asadchoudhry2592]

I agree .. watching him tap was getting....

Omg thank you. Had tried feeling the numbers and soent hours frustrated. Found a needle that fit and opened it in 2 mins with your method. Thank you brother.

[@adamc7046]

You just saved me a lot of trouble. Thank you.

[@foreversteelerfan]

5:59 Thank you very much, super helpful and easy to do it. I'm so glad that you are able to share your knowledge. Blessings for you and your family. It worked perfectly.

[@crewmanderek3641]

I got the same lock open with this technique! That was my first ever attempt at this! It was very satisfying! Thanks a ton.

[@crewmanderek3641]

@@zeir_231r try the technique in this one instead. I’ve also gotten that to work. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnKtfK2Ifdh_i9E

[@f1948s]

Thank you so much. I was doing it like you with a paperclip but after I going to the bottom I did not think about turning so many clicks to have it line up properly. Did that and bingo lock opened perfectly. Thanks a million.

[@ketlebelninja]

Thanks for this video. I had accidentally changed my code on a 4 digit lock and this helped me. Goes to show how weak these types of locks are

[@magicbread8111]

Just master locks

[@sawzalljr3621]

Thanks, my lock had locked in the combination changing position. Was able to figure it out with this video. Saved me 12$

[@sunahamanagai9039]

Absolutely worked. Thank you!

[@Betteruthanme1999]

Holy Mackerel. It worked. I bought the lock for $5-6 dollars and used it for 2 months and then I forgot the combination. I was getting ready to throw it away, but I was mad because I spent good $$ on it. I saved it in my desk drawer and then found your video. I tried it. First time was unsuccessful. But on the 2nd try, I marked my paper clip and saw the pin drop 1-2-3-4 and I had it lined up. I followed your advice. I wrote down the 4 numbers to make sure I had it lined up. Then I moved it over 2 spot to the left as you instructed. Pulled on the lock and MAGIC happened. It unlocked. My friend taught me how to reset the 4-digit code so I would never forget again. Perhaps you could do another video and show owners how to reset their locks. Thank you for saving me $5-6 dollars. I did not want to throw away a perfectly good working lock. Bless you and Love your channel "Billshowto"

[@Surberjm]

Thank you! My son scrambled a lock today while I was out in the yard working and his brother changed it and locked it. Figured it out quickly.

[@jurrenauta7831]

Sweet, now you can once more securely lock your toolbox without the hassle of buying better locks :D

[@malikonthesus]

what a trash brother

I used a needle to pick my master lock 643dwd. worked perfectly. thanks!!

[@anly9022]

Thanks .This method working very well for unlocking my padlock…….

[@lukehenderson8042]

OMG thank you so much! have been locked out of my shed for about a month so my grass is really really long..... this worked am so grateful the lawns look amazing!!! thank you so much

[@williamreynolds8210]

Awesome, Bill! I should have checked for this video before hacking it off. Your technique worked, though. Has anyone ever had one of these frustrating locks "change" it's combo, accidentally? I don't know how, but mine did. Update: Doh! It did it again! This time I picked the lock. Lesson learned: be careful not to allow the locking bar to rotate 90 deg. and slide into the combo changing slot! Even without rotating the combo numbers, it changes! If I didn't know how to pick it (thanks again, Bill), I'd Chuck these crappy locks!

[@mLr926]

YO SAME...

[@maxaucarre37]

so the technique works with an already opened lock ??

[@ragingfurno7096]

Was screwing around at work and had that exact three combo lock, so I tried it, it worked, and I had fun. Thanks dude!

[@TimmyTurnersDad.]

Dinkleberg! Thank you!! I bought that exact same 4pad masterlock. I set the code, but I kept playing with it and accidentally set a new code. I used a paper clip and pushed down until the paper clip went through the 4th pad. I turned the dial counter-clockwise 3 times and BOOM! I unlocked it.

[@teabaganyone7830]

it actually works ahhaha thank you mate takes a few tries but I got my code lock back thanks to you

[@emmanuelphillips4971]

Brother you is a life saver. I did what you say do. To my surprise it work. Thank you very very much. You have a bless day.

[@isaacoyedokun4698]

Wow, i just unlocked mine🕺💃 yaay! vacation finally confirmed! Thanks. This might be useful: - I used a niddle in my own case - hold tightly the niddle on a point - turn clockwise the buttons after another, untill you can no longer turn them again. - remove gently the niddle - verify the 3 numbers are well aligned with the red line on the side of the lock. - BOOM, the magic. Thank the owner of the channel!😅👌🏾 Ciao!

[@seenile13]

This helped me figure out my sons code as he messed it up after opening in. Thanks.

[@garyvickers1090]

Amazing. I goofed up the original setting of the combination and your instruction was the first that worked for me. No need to go buy another lock. THANKS!

[@Kocomohouse]

Thanks, I have a 4-digit combo lock of this style that was trapped with the shackle open (not closed) after someone found the lock open and messed up my combination. I was unsuccessful recovering the combination with the other popular methods posted online. Thanks to this method (with a paper clip and sewing needle), I was able to recover the lock and subsequently re-set it with my original combination.

[@juliorjr]

It worked thank you! You saved me time and money

[@jakethemedic1]

Awesome, worked like a charm and I got big brownie points!

Thank you so much! I forgot my pin to my dogs box (where we have all the food) and I got the code back with this process.

[@debeerpaul]

My neighbor accidentally changed his combination on his Drinks cabinet. Tx this helped alot. :P

[@brucelaidlaw]

Thanks for this. At the end I tried turning the final numbers back by 2 and by 3 but it didn't open. Then I tried turning back just ONE number and it opened! Great!

i have tried many other ways to pick my old combination lock but this was just sooo much simpler and quicker thanks :D

This is amazing, man!! Thank youuu so much!! Now I won’t need to throw away my beautiful and brand new Master Lock or even will need to buy a new one. Fast and easy trick to break the code!! 🤩🤗😃🥳🙏

[@karlc1952]

Perfect. Best yet. At a school where the kids keep changing the combo on the locks. Thank you.

[@johnbanfield4179]

Hi Bill, I bought a brand new 4 wheel Master padlock from a car boot sale. After wasting about an hour trying to get the code from starting out 0000 and going up I gave up and thought i would give youtube a try. Hey presto, I watched your video and five minutes later it was sorted. Many thanks mate.

[@daianaandreas6279]

Very useful! Spent 20 pounds in the Locke for not to remember the code😅 Thanks a lo!!

[@user-oy1gk8is9o]

Thanks for a great video...after days trying to come up with different combos you video helped a great deal...if you look down that opening you can see the first opening but for my lock it wasn't consistent for the corresponding letter...kept changing letters....so it's broken and not wasting more time on it

[@yeye1907]

I didnt believe this would work but I tried it and it worked

[@RobDeming]

Fantastic!! Thank you so much!! I have had two of these locks mysteriously change combinations in the past 2 weeks - which seems to happen while they are open and accidently get rotated 90 degrees and depressed and the numbers rotated (sounds unlikely - but it is extremely easy to do accidently and unbeknownst to you). The first time I was in the gym and thankfully was headed to work out vs coming back from the shower!!!! Took my 15 minutes of guessing which numbers got rotated and amazed I found them. Just now used your method and it worked great. Thanks!
