[631] Master Lock 875/975 Decoded WITHOUT ANY TOOLS !

[@GoingBoundless]

I just wanted to let you know that me and my wife got locked inside a state park after hours. We were late getting back and they locked us in. We called the police and they couldn't get us out/didn't know the code. The park rangers were unreachable. This video got us and our RV out in 4 minutes once I decided to check on your videos. I have been a long time fan and amateur picker. Thank you, you saved us tonight.

I got locked behind the security gate at Public Storage & was lucky the manager lived on site & heard us yelling.

I know why, 1:30 am, now I have to replace about 200 locks. I've been getting the newer version with the hexagonal shackle and black body. I doubt they are as easily decoded because I think there is a mechanism that locks the wheels in place if you put pressure on the shackle. I know the wheels can only be moved when it is closed and they only like to go in one direction. But, I still have a lot of the older brass body ones, not sure what model number.

This video actually helped me earn some above-board cash, so thank you for making it. I use to have a job in a small business office setting that use these specific locks on literally everything they wanted to keep locked. Well, they had a big reshuffle of the things they had attached the locks to and all of the locks on them were meant to be set to have new codes when re-assigned to their new lockers. The idea that was proposed by upper management was that they were going to go around and unlock every lock they had, set them to a neutral code (like 1111) and then drop them all in a big bin and then dole them back out after the locker reshuffle was done. Since they had a nice neutral combination, we could just grab one out of the bin, reset it to an _actual_ code, and then lock the locker. Apparently the memo didn't get through though and a key part of those instructions were left out somewhere along the way. The officer manager was meant to handle it and she ended up giving the job to one of her staff, but they just took all of the locks off, didn't clear their codes, and just jumbled them into a big bin - presumably told they were being replaced as part of the big reorganization. At the time, these locks were like $20-$30 a pop, so we must've had like two or three grand worth of locks that the company was going to have to throw out and replace because they were useless (arguably, they've always been useless if you've seen this video). I informed my manager that I knew how to reset every single lock in the bin if they wanted me to, but they'd have to live with the idea that all of the product, supplies, etc. that was stored in those lockers were effectively just security illusion and not any sort of actual obstacle. From my manager, I was told that the plan from upper management was to just replace the locks 1-to-1 with the exact same style of lock and that they weren't interested in getting more secure ones, so they'd be interested to know a way to get out of making such a purchase. I told the office administrator that I could get all of the locks working again without having to buy new ones. If they were willing to cut me a check for $1k as a "consultant fee" on top of my normal hourly rate, I'd take the bin and return them to her after getting them all reset. It took them three days to get back to me, but she came back with HR and a document that they'd drafted, agreeing to pay out if I could do it. She said I could just work on it whenever I had some spare time and I had like a week to finish. A quick lookup of this video to refresh myself and it was done in like 2 hours. Office manager was _not_ particularly pleased to learn that like every cabinet and locker in the building could be undone in such a short time, but she was quite pleased that she wouldn't have to go to the owner and explain that she needs to expense out a few thousand dollars because of an error made by her department. So thanks LPL. You helped me make some of the easiest money of my life.

When I went to college in the 1970’s I lived in the dorms. Many students had a bicycle and they would store them in the basement, the basement was full of bikes. Back then, everyone used a simple chain with a built-in combo lock (you still see similar locks even today). They were so easy to open it was ridiculous, you would just pull on them as you turned the combo lock and feel for a click to get the correct number. As a prank, someone opened every lock and move them to different bikes. Lol, the next few days everyone went crazy saying they could not open their locks on their bike!

That's why it's just easier to find something that isn't locked and target that instead. Almost every single lock on the planet is defeatable in less than 1 minute.

This is fantastic! I work in the oil and gas industry as a utility locator, and this is the lock used on most gate entrances to the lease sites.. and VERY often, there's bad communication and we arrive to sites without being given the code. I'm gonna try this next time it happens. To be clear, we have permission to access these sites, and the gates are simply vehicle gates to keep trespassers out, so typically in these situations, if the road isn't too long, I will have to just load up all of my gear and crawl over the gate, instead of pulling our vehicle in with our equipment and personal belongings. As long as this doesn't wreck the lock, nobody will have an issue with it..... and in fact, I guarantee, the fact that we won't have to come out a second time after rearranging the day, costing the company hundreds to thousands of extra dollars, would be greatly appreciated.

[@c2thew156]

The core thing to remember is that you do need to put pressure on the hinge to trigger the “open/engage lock” sequence before you can feel the difference if you have the right number. If you can move the wheel while putting pressure on the hinge, then the lock is not in “open/engage open” mode. Once you figure it out, it will make sense. If you still don’t understand, watch 7:27 over and over until you find a number and you can compare. This is the key to understanding this lock

[@SwapPartLLC]

I went to Home Depot tonight and noticed they had these locks securing their power tools. My first thought was, wow, I could open one of these locks in under a minute.

I found one of these locks on the ground last year. I hadn't yet seen this video but I had seen others of yours so I picked it up, interested to see if I'd be able to open it eventually. My girlfriend wanted to know why I picked up an apparently useless lock and I jokingly told her, "watch, I have a magic touch with combination locks", and I put some tension on the shackle and started working the dials. To my surprise I had the lock open in about 20 secs or so! My girlfriend was impressed and also wondered how and why I could do such a thing. I assured her that I was not a cat burglar and that it was merely an interesting mental exercise. I still have the lock.

This video helped me today. Unfortunately my coworker and dear friend passed away a few weeks ago and he was in control of a locker that was holding some parts we needed today for work. This lock was what was used to secure the locker and only my recently departed friend knew the combo. I remembered watching this video a few months ago and I dug through my KZbin history to pull it back up to refresh my memory of how to decide this lock. It helped me to decode and open the lock without having to open a work order to get the facilities folks to come cut the lock off. That could take weeks before they'll get around to coming out to cut the lock. I don't really pick locks but there's something I enjoy about watching your videos and today it helped me at work and also kinda sorta reconnected me with an old friend.

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

Whaddya mean no one can explain why? You're getting a high because your brain has gotten a workout. You've learned a skill and successfully used it, hence the endorphins. That's basically one of the two reasons people DIY, the other being the similar rush you get when you actually invent something (as opposed to successfully using a skill). And don't tell me there's a third reason of saving money, if you bill yourself for the time used, and count materials and tools, DIY is usually costlier than outsourcing.

[@57thorns]

The advantage of needing a tool to reset the lock means there is no way to accidentally (or maliciously) reset the lock during normal operation. Say you have a canoe rental secured with padlocks and chains, the customer can pick up their canoe at any time, but you just have to go there at some time before the rental period starts to set the combination to the right number, and remove they keyed lock.
