The keys are easy to make. i use M17 or 1092DD blank and you look up the key number (back of lock usually starts with V and 2-3 numbers) on google images then you can file it to match the picture that is how i have keys to my keyed combo locks

Yeppers!

Nice! Your videos are certainly a case of quality over quantity.

Wow this takes me back 40 years to high school. The Master locks looked exactly the same (though without the keyhole in back) but were easier to open -- in particular there was a technique for determining the 2nd number, and then checking all options for the 3rd. There was a special day early each year when some freshman would learn the technique and start showing his or her friends, "so then he did this, and then he did this, ..." at which point one could stride in, put a hand on the ringleader's shoulder, falsely declaim "HEY ASSHOLE THAT'S MY LOCKER!" and watch them scramble. Good times.

Haha yeah, I imagine with KZbin these days, there's a lot more kids pranking around with these cheap combo locks. I can't even give my kids a real lock because their school dictates which lock they use (and the key on the back means the maintenance crew doesn't need to cut the locks off at the end of the year)
