Master locks are notoriously easy to defeat. Master lock is Much better at marketing than they are at security. The advantage of the master lock is that it is pretty tough against physical attacks. Lock picking is not used that often in crimes. Picking is involved in less that 6 percent of B&Es. Most thieves use destructive force.
Mr. DeepWoods is the "king of comments" on this subject." Cheap locks can be shimmed, others can be bypassed (I've done it with a pencil and wide rubber band to put tension on shackle while rolling the dial wheels) but, when Mr. DWoods starts talking about "setting pins", then he's talking about tensioning, & "picking" locks. Practice, Practice, Practice and you can defeat most out there. Masters, Yales, Americans, etc. And forget about "shimming with Soda Pop Cans" unless you're into blood and stiches.
I’ve been picking for just a few months now and was surprised to find that master locks were so poorly designed. I haven’t found one that can’t be either raked or sppd with ease
when are you going to to try to hack a real good unhack a ble lock.the best way to understand a lock is to buy one,and open it up,and look at everything inside..spend the time,and money to really understand whats in them.
+Kez Panel I have done this on clear padlocks and can say it works, the parts are the same but backwards, so the mirror of the motion on the oposite side causes the spring loaded parts to push on the spring, and open
I know pretty much squat about lock picking, but I've had pretty good luck with these on Brinks padlocks that have both heel and toe dogs, just by giving the stick a slight clockwise twist while rocking it. If I combine it with a tension wrench, all it takes is slipping this stick right down the center and giving it a little wiggle. I'll see if I can find a Master Lock to try it on.
Something that worked for me is, I bought a similar padlock, and after hitting the old padlock with a hammer from the side a few times, I used the key from the new padlock to open it and it worked
This isn't shiming, your "quick stick" is acutaly called a knife, that technique can only work on unsheilded padlock (pretty much only padlock from china) and Master Lock are very very cheap locks, but that technique won't work on them because its sheilded.
Nice piece of metal too. Tried it out on some "MIC" (made in china) locks and it sure did snap it open helping me get to my locked-inside key. Dont ask, im not very proud of locking it inside its own lockbox. the guard around the latch prevents hacksaws and bolt cutters to have access, and i didnt want to scratch the chit out of my lockbox. thx, ITStactical.
It's not like we just cut these out of a tin can brother, there's a lot that went into these. They're not made from cheap metal and are .030 inches thick. Sorry you're not happy with the price, but it is what it is. Thanks! ~ Bryan
master locks are shit - the only reason this works is because it's a non-shielded lock.... you could easily shim it, rake it, pick it, and probably just pull it off with your hands. ;)
Cheap locks and most Master Locks can usually be opened this way. Friends don't let friends buy Master Locks. Good locks are made in such a way to prevent this method from being used.
Hello from Scotland! Good video .... I am impressed with the Quick Stick but unfortunately there is nothing like this available here. Do you have any agents in the UK or would you post to sunny Scotland. Regards Jim
I should order a set for the pile of padlocks I lost keys for. One is still locked on a footlocker that I have forgotten what was inside. Treasure chest!
master locks are more of a seal than a lock. they can let you know if someone has used bolt cutters and got in your storage shed. the advantage with this type of bypass key is someone can get into your stuff and put it right back on and you never notice. that way they can steal from you for months without tipping you off. I made one of those out of a kitchen knife that works great on number 1 and 3 master locks. I use it at work instead of having to carry a huge key ring.
what a great tool. Even I can be a criminal. Thanks for inventing this. thats for making it so easy to steal. Thanks, it works on some many houses. Wow this tool got me all kinds of free stuff. thanks again. we are so happy. we all ordered one. 20$-30$ for a tool that opens most standard locks. Heck yeah. Of course we got 6 of them. Got some for my homies christmas presents. thanks for inventing this tool. we have been so happy with how it opens locks. its soooo easy.
+Mike Gardner gang members and thugs aren't smart enough to figure these things out...they'll just shoot at the lock till it opens, or they run out of bullets...
If you're dumb enough to buy a $5.00 padlock to protect hundreds if not thousands of dollars worth of "your stuff," then you're pretty much asking for it. Don't buy cheap locks and this won't be a problem.
Mr.quim1970, I've purchased a nice set of "combs" from South Ord, lightly filed the tips the ends ("so they should glide easily into the key way"), counted the pins first, tried the Master 101's, 103's 105's, Yales, and I've had absolutely "NO" success. Not a single comb would budge even the tiniest bit. Can you offer a slight solution? I'm a very good picker but the combs I can't move with?
some ppl don't even lock there doors,lol,and the one's that put pad lock's on,they don't know about security pin's.only makers of the locks,and ''lock hack's,like you know whats in a lock.good video..
2nd method which your having problems is move the first bar over add tension to the shackle by pulling on it. Go back in on the other side and move the bar over the opposite way
I prefer picking locks. It's a lot more effective in my opinion, because if it has dual latches, then picking it is as easy as if it had only one. Also, not all locks can be bypassed. If it's a more expensive lock, then it might have a barrier built in, and if it's a cheap lock, then you can bypass it, but you can probably just as easily pick it by raking it, even with a pick made from a paper clip, which I have done when I first started learning how to pick locks.
This will only work with unshielded locks. Any halfway decent lock, will have a steel shielding plate to prevent this type of bypass. Has nothing to do with heel vs toe.
Just hit the side of it with the handle end of a screwdriver 😂. I was doing a job for a local Town municipality and the guy who was supposed to come open the gate to get into an area where I needed to do some work within the gated area nothing with security was no big issue the guy didn't mind when he showed up cuz he was running late by an hour and I didn't want to just sit there. I just wrapped on the side of it with a screwdriver and put pressure and eventually it popped open. I showed their head maintenance guy afterwards and he was like what the fuc now I got to replace every lock with something better 😂
Yeah, I bought these from you guys a long time ago. Um, they really only work on the cheapest of locks. A Master #3 is THE most basic lock you will ever see in any quantity and they don't work on those. That, being said, #3's are so easy, you just tension with a wrench and use a worm/city/tri-peak rake like a cantilever= you'll pop most of them in 15 seconds or so. I've picked maybe 50 #3's as they are used to lock the toilet paper roles in every bathroom at the U I stay at. I think I've found like 2 that took a little more time or required SPPing. It's not that it's a bad tool, I have my pair for 2+ years= it's just that I never use them when just raking open all the basic or worse locks is just as easy. Not to mention, if the pick doesn't work= you're gonna have to rake or SPP it anyways, so why go through the extra step.
Our mechanic at work gave me a chain that has a master padlock and a gold master lock combination lock attached to it and said if I can figure the code out I can have it. I’ve tried every code from 0000 0001 0002 0003 all the way to 1500 so far.
Are these too wide to use on cuffs? and yeah, you should be able 2 open double dogs, thats why your sending 2 right? Looking at the design...I think if instead of inserting the way you are, straight down the keyway, point at the top try flipping the tool and slide it in at an angle...now the tip is at the inner most point and the handle is on the other side, now you're using the middle of the tool as a pivot point!! Stick the other one in opposite to the 1st pinch together, Voila, Mini Peterson?
Hey maybe try using both keys facing opposite directions (at the same time) in the dual locking one. That may be part of the reason they send them in two's
Hey ITS, I just did a search on your web site for this Quick Stick, but had no luck finding it. Did you discontinue it? Please let me know where you have it (LINK) if you still carry it. Thanks!
Your reply begets my reply. Moral is, don't be sarcastic to someone who wasn't talking to you. If you choose to not be helpful, you don't need to be a smartass! Next time, try to be nicer and you will get a nice thank you instead of what I heaped at you.
Most padlocks that are outside on gates or what ever. Aren't in the best position for picking. I'am sure it's much easier to pick a lock when it's inside and right in front of you. Also there are lock guards available for added security.
For those of us who didn't come here to learn how to steal from others, can you tell me what kind of padlock to buy that is HARD to pick open? How do I know the lock I'm thinking of buying has a double-heel?
If it doesnt say double ball bearing somewhere on it you're throwing away money. The masterlock pro series locks are decent values the 911 and 931 and the 6321s the stanley 928 series of locks are good values. Any of the old american lock brand locks are good to go and decent values.
Also your average thief couldn't pick their way out of a wet paper bag worry less about picking more about bolt cutters and other destructive entry types. Picks are for people who dont want you to be able to tell they were there.
Joey Kissinger what does that have to do with the fact that the claim is how to pick any paddlock, but it won't work on most good locks. Most people who are trying to protect something don't go to the dollar store to buy a lock.
+jessica durham I would not bother with this kit for a Master lock those can be opened with almost anything. I have personally opened one with a sewing needle and a tension wrench.
+Master Hughes Something that ISN'T a padlock, or a padlock that is shielded. Padlocks are NOT designed to withstand those big ass titanium bolt cutters even if they are hardened. If you want a padlock, just get one that has a shield covering the shackle. Oh and do be sure it isn't master lock or some Chinese brand.
It's crazy that these padlock designs are still on the shelfs in shops. I'm a beginner and already mastered this pypass great video
pick locker you cannot "master" this technique as anyone can do this.. ive seen a 5 years old do this succesfully..

I've lost keys to two different pad locks and it's not cheap to get a locksmith to get them open! Great idea
Learn to pick locks. It's worth it even if you don't learn to pick high security.
Great video! I thought I had to break the lock and purchase another lock. Now I don't need to go through that hassle😊
Thank you so much for giving thieves an easy way to get to our stuff without making any noise, again thank you.
You can insert two Quick Sticks at the same time... one at the heel and one at the toe, you can open the Master locks!
We need a little clarification here eh.
Lee Rude
1. Insert two Quick Sticks at the same time
2. One at the heel and one at the toe
3. You can open the Master lock

No, thats not how it works.
That is how it works lol. It can be used to shim the locking paws open.

You need two of them for Masterlock type locks. Peterson tools makes a set for locksmiths that will bypass Masterlock 1, 2 and 3s pretty quickly.

Wouldn't a comb key do the same? Or is the bypass different?
Wouldn't this only work on unshielded cores that only have one locking lug?
I didn't want to spend the money so I just cut one out of an used aluminum can and sand the edges. It works
Saw a whole video showing how it doesn’t work on a better quality lock nice!

What's the difference between the EZ Decoder and the Quick Stick?

i'm pretty cheap... but honestly.. if something seems useful, and i want it. 10 bucks is a good price for anything that can be used more than once.
This will only work with unshielded locks. Any halfway decent lock, will have a steel shielding plate to prevent this type of bypass. Has nothing to do with heel vs toe.
Am I right in thinking this tool will not work on locks which employ a ball bearing to secure the shackle?
Could you fit both of the Quick Sticks in the Master Lock and move both locking dogs at the same time, if there are two? Just wondering.
I need one. My brother locks me out of my own house all the time.
if there is a pick for every lock, then what's the solution? Have no material stuff to safeguard?
