Master Lock combination changing 175 model

[@phottomatt4202]

LOL I've had that little key sitting in a box for 15 years wondering what it went to. Thank you.

[@hugomunoz9039]

Super helpful! All other videos that kept showing up were on how to "break the lock" not reset it to a new one. Thank you

[@alexandrapadilla5085]

Great work this helped a lot

[@hattakey4397]

Good video,thank you for sharing

[@chicofontane3705]

[@user-kv6tt1pq6g]

Thank you

Hello everyone I forget the pass code for my 175 luck and I dont have the key it's already open but I can't use it . Any way to now pass code?

[@rhoni-Bin]

Thank you so much!!!

[@thomasmcconnell2898]

This regards my 175 lock. With the lock open I took a master key we saved (not sure if it is the actual one that came with the lock but it looks identical to the one in the video) I inserted it and tried pushing the pin inside the lock. It won't push in, so it can't be turned 90 degrees. The lock has no rust and looks in immaculate condition. I even used some dry lube but it does not work. Were there different keys made?

[@JamesBarthelemy]

The padlock must be first dialed to the current combination. The key should push and turn then. Master only made one key/tool for combination changes. If yours looks like mine in the video, it should work.

[@thomasmcconnell2898]

Right after I posted my comment I discovered what you said in your reply. The combination was lost but the lock was open, so I took an educated guess and then the key worked. Thank you.

[@intelHD510]

Could i brute force the lock open then change the combo? I found an old 175 in my junk drawer and dont know the combo

[@JamesBarthelemy]

Brute forcing it open does you no good. It has to be dialed to the proper combination to enter the change process, and forcing it open you now have a broken padlock with no combination still.

[@intelHD510]

@@JamesBarthelemy By "brute force" I just meant bypassing the lock, poor word choice. But you do need the combo to change the code?

[@JamesBarthelemy]

@intelHD510 yes, that's correct.

[@intelHD510]

​@@JamesBarthelemy Thanks

[@lukekleinhen9274]

Thank u

[@johnnyb.2355]

You don't even need that tiny key to change the combo. Just continuesly press the internal pin while turning the combo wheel..

[@JamesBarthelemy]

You are correct.

[@aleighz1]

Cool thanks! Because I have no idea where my key is .. thanks!

[@dannygomez3531]

Omg this saved me, mine came without the key and no hole but by holding down the internal pin (lock itself) and turning the dials as she directed you can change the code✅🙏🏽

[@cerrajeriaaperturaexpress279]

👍🔒🔓

[@soydelrancho]

All the key does is hold the spring pressed. You can also use a paper clip and keep press while you change the combination. YW

[@Fern-v3q]

Thanks

[@sandybarbee8401]

I have a lock that I found , I have "the key" . Can I change the combination ?

[@JamesBarthelemy]

If you have the existing combination, yes. You must open it with the combination first to expose the change key hole.

[@sandybarbee8401]

@@JamesBarthelemy NOPE on the combination . Guess I'll have to try the "wiggle the wheels" or "soda can shim" method !

[@zachenpoyser6578]

Lol, it works 😄♥️👏🏽📌💯

[@Crypticelk]

I can’t turn the key

[@JamesBarthelemy]

It has to push in just a bit before it will turn.
