Thank you so much for this video. I have a brinks 3 digit combo lock with false gates. Someone changed the combo to it at work and I couldn’t get into my locker. I finally got it open thanx to your video!!!!! Thank you!!!!
Oh that's funny, somebody else emailed me about the same problem. I think the process should be the same, just pull tension on the wire loop. If that fails and you really need in to the suitcase then pick the lock on the bottom, this is where TSA agents use a special key to inspect your suitcase.
Hobby Picker, how would you pick a cable lock that has 4 digits (wheels) but has a button you push to release the cable from the lock? It is also resetable by pushing in on a small surface-flush button until it clicks and stays pushed in. You set your numbers and when you push the end of the cable back into the lock, the little reset button pops back up to flush with the housing and you have your new combo. I just bought this stupid lock for my son's scooter and somehow dicked up the process...even though I got it right several times in the store before I bought it
You did a very good job explaining the mechanics of these locks. And I love your drawings :-) What brand was the 3 wheel lock that you decoded? If you are interested in an ABUS and Burg-Wächter 4 wheel combination lock to play with, then I can send them to you. And thanks a lot for your nice words about me at the end of your video.
Thanks Potti, I just realised I had forgotten to put the link to your channel in the description! That problem has been solved now :-) I'm not sure if this lock had a brand, there wasn't a name on it, and i got it from a friend with no packaging. I would never say no to locks but i fear that at the moment I may not have anything nice to send back to you! I could send a package to you once I have collected some nice locks, and one or two with that name you might know of, it starts with A :-)
No worries mate. Just thought that if you like combination locks as much as I do maybe you would enjoy some German ones. Please write me a PM with you full name and address and you will get a nice package. No need to send something back; it's not a trade.
Thank you my friend, I've had some locks in mind to send to you for a while, it isn't a problem, but like I mentioned I would like to get something nice to send to you :-) PM sent.
Benji Taylor certainly, you must line up the shackle with it’s hole and apply a downward pressure, follow the steps shown in the video to find the gates 👍hope this helps, thanks for watching!
Follow the same steps but instead of pulling out on the shackle, line up the shackle as if you were about to close it, and apply tension by pushing down continuously on the shackle. If you have issues understanding this let me know.
I have problems with same type problem.... my problem is my 4 combination lock is open already but i forget my password ... so how i get password for lock
Just copy the same steps as shown but instead of pulling on the shackle, line up the shackle with hole it goes into and hold downward pressure on it. Thanks for watching!
I have a brinks 3wheel resettable lock that is locked in the 180 degree from "locking" position. I believe this is the position to change combo. The shackle is in the down or locked position, how do I find code? Same as if it were 180 deg and in the actual locking position?

@@earlybirdgetstheworm9352 I see, is there a slot directly below the stub that sticks out of the shackle? Try the 'pushing down' decoding method in whatever position it seems to be jammed in. If you get stuck feel free to send me an email (address in video description)
Never too late! How do you mean it's locked backwards? Is it locked in the open position? Feel free to email me pictures of it, my email address is in the video description.
@@farahnazzahed5932 I'm glad you managed to get it working again! I wasn't sure exactly what you meant which is why I asked. Feel free to get in touch with me any time if you have any other questions! Thanks for stopping by.
Resdep 2001 You pull tension and turn the dials to try and find a ‘gate’, if the gate turns out to be a false one, then you have to release the tension and allow you to turn the dial out of the gate, and pull tension again once the dial is out of the gate.
@@HobbyPicker it took awhile but l managed to unlock my loctote combination lock. This is the second time it happened on same lock, so l don't know why or how the combination numbers changes by itself without me changing it.
That's right, you just feel the differences in movement! The key is in the jiggling motion you make with the dials, some dials will be harder to jiggle than other dials, that's how you tell the difference.
I just open a lock that has been unused for like 10 years, thank you so much!
Fantastic explanation, this is the clearest one I've seen so far. Thank you
Thank you so much this is by far the best explanation I have found, you helped me decode my lock!

yosha medic Glad to be of help! Thanks for watching!
Thanks and stay motivated brother peace! :-)
Would you take a look at a TSA007 luggage lock that has a cable loop instead of a shackle. I have forgot my combination :(
Certainly, did you by any chance already send me an email about such a lock? Or is that somebody else?
first time for me... I just left attached to the expansion zipper and used an older lock that I knew the combination to.

Do you know how to find the combination of an opened lock? (so it can be used again?) Many thanks
Benji Taylor certainly, you must line up the shackle with it’s hole and apply a downward pressure, follow the steps shown in the video to find the gates 👍hope this helps, thanks for watching!
@@HobbyPicker this help a lot!
@@ShadowMor00 I’m glad it helped, thanks for your support!
very good explanation!! thumbs up!!
Awesome! Thank you for explaining. It worked!
what should i do if i closed the lock accidentally out of it's position and forgot the correct combination???
Follow the same steps but instead of pulling out on the shackle, line up the shackle as if you were about to close it, and apply tension by pushing down continuously on the shackle. If you have issues understanding this let me know.

@@HobbyPicker thanks 👍🙏🙏
Nice work buddy👍👍😘😎

Erik Lindquist Hi Erik, yes, if you follow the same steps as shown here it should work just the same! Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks man
Saved my bacon, thank you
My fingers are NUMB by holding the lock...it did not work on my Lince 3 wheels suitcase lock.
Great explanation sir.
Thanks for watching sir :-)
Thanks for watching sir :-)
And I am success thank you so much
Open locked shakle doesn't enter how is possible urdu
Thinking you sir
What to do if the lock gets stuck open and won’t moved ? Jammed
Follow the same steps but instead of pulling out on the shackle, line up the shackle as if you were about to close it, and apply tension by pushing down continuously on the shackle. If you have issues understanding this let me know.
Hobby Picker My lock is facing the other way so It won’t allow me to align it up like I’m closing it

I will do it
Very nice , crude drawings n' all!😁✌🙃
Thanks :-)
Good job
Thanks for watching!
my padlock not close i forget pasward give me suggetion
If you are trying to close the padlock then follow the steps shown in the video, but instead of pulling on the shackle, push down on the top.
I know this is late but for some reason my lock has locked backwards and I don’t know how to unlock it
Never too late! How do you mean it's locked backwards? Is it locked in the open position? Feel free to email me pictures of it, my email address is in the video description.
Oh thanks for the reply , I found out how to unlock it from one of your comments thanks ... I had to push it down instead of up

when do you put tension and when do you release it?
Resdep 2001 You pull tension and turn the dials to try and find a ‘gate’, if the gate turns out to be a false one, then you have to release the tension and allow you to turn the dial out of the gate, and pull tension again once the dial is out of the gate.

Resdep 2001 Well done! That sounds like a strange issue 🤔
@@HobbyPicker lam your new subscriber. Thanks again.
Didn't understand at all how you got the lock open??
You just felt the right combination !?
That's right, you just feel the differences in movement! The key is in the jiggling motion you make with the dials, some dials will be harder to jiggle than other dials, that's how you tell the difference.
I was able to open my locked lock 🔒, family after 1 month. I was getting desperate 🤣😂😅
I’m very glad it helped you! Thank you for watching!
