Master 178 Codewheel Lock Bypass - "Picking" the Master 178D Combination Code-wheel Padlock

"Picking" (bypassing) the Master 178D Combination Code-wheel Padlock

[@MomusFilms]

THANK YOU!!! Been driving me nuts not being able to decode it like a 175.

I too spent my first years only "feeling around the lock". It wasn't till I became much closer to the "lock" that I began to be encouraged to explore what I had been feeling those first times. Well put!

This was perfect! It took me a while to get it, but because you kept explaining it and did it a few times I got it! Thank you so much!!

[@TheSmackfan101]

Thank fuck. One added tip I picked up on your hand motion was to just wiggle the tip a bit more to the left than I expected. Finally got it with my sparrows decoder.

Is there a lock under $20 that you would recommend as hard to pick lock (thereforesafer)?

[@thesurfcontinuum]

Worked for me, I forgot the code and cut a feeler gauge .08 thick and made my own tool. Took me 10 mins tops. Now can I reset the code so I can unlock it properly ?

[@elainesutherland5101]

Is it possible to reset the locks combination? I forgot the combination

A brand new master lock 178 and I can’t open it even with the new combo number I entered. Master Lock is closed for the weekend and I have to get the fence open for the landscapers coming at 9 am. Please help, I am in California.

It appears they've fixed this method of bypass.

[@kenweld4544]

How can you you set the new combo after opening the lock?

[@bladeboysfv5646]

Honestly, I’ve been having much better luck using the left side of the third wheel… just saying

[@samsmet3121]

Too much bla bla

I was able to open it with this technique
