I had lost my key and I am 63 years old. I was worried the manager would evict me if I did not open my Master Pad lock for inspection! This video saved my life! I used the Bobby pin for the hold and the paperclip for tensions and kept working that paper clip and I was shocked! It worked. You saved me hundreds of dollars and my apartment. They'll never know the difference. I will buy a new lock. This time i will keep track of the keys! Thanks.
I have seen videos like this. I tried and tried. Perhaps I do not have the touch, it never worked for me? I know how a lock works. I know how to re-key a lock by changing tumblers. 😟
I have a Master lock similar to what you are using that is at least 50 years old. It was a lock my father used when I was a kid over forty years ago. I have the lock but not the key(s) and couldn't bring myself to toss it (sentimental). Now I'm going to try to unlock it using what I learned tonight from your video. Very good video! Thank you!
This really is just one of those fascinating skills, isn't it? The ability to defeat the thing that shouldn't be defeated yet retain the responsibility not to do that in an improper way is kinda cool in a strange way.
There are a lot of lock picking videos out there, but this video was the one that helped me open it for real!! It was not a separate lock, but the front main doorknob lock. Very helpful.
I know how a lock cylinder and tumblers suppose to work. I have seen a number of these home make lock picking videos. Believe me, I tried and tried. Perhaps I do not have the touch. I give up after 15 minutes. I do have a 36" bolt cutter and a 4 1/4" angle grinder. They always work.
kw0s I've gotten fairly good at this sort of thing (I got bored at my dads office and had a couple locks on hand plus my leatherman and some paperclips)
Funny I never thought I would need Lock Picking Skills until the day I realized I had lost (misplaced?) a key. There are some expensive things behind that lock. Scary to think that they (guns) are not as safe as I thought they were. Thanks for the video. I hope it is as easy as you make it look. :-))
Master Lock No. 1 & 3 are very common and a good choice if you wish to get started in this skill. They do not have security pins and can be easily raked. The No. 140 would be a good padlock to graduate to afterwards. It's a 4 pin cylinder, just like the before mentioned locks, but incorporates a security pin. Raking these takes a little more skill.
Alternatively, you can make the best tension wrenches from the metal strips found in old windshield wipers. I have some pick tools purchased from Sparrow, and they work great. Amazing how easily some locks open.
And you can make really good rakes and picks with old hacksaw blades and a dremel. Be careful not to overheat the metal or you'll need to re-temper it.
@@gpweaver I should've thought of the old hacksaw blade thing, I used to be a Motorcycle Mechanic and I often used bits of old hacksaw blade for various types of homebrew tool. Thank you for the tip
I did this with a breadbag plastic clip, removed the plastic that surrounds the iron ''needle'' and bent it so that it has 5 teeth. Make sure the lock is oiled from the inside and start raking while turning your lever. This takes me about 15 sec and the lock is open..
I tried 3 different methods today to get a lock off... tapping with a hammer...beer can....then this method.. none worked.. finally I took claws from a hammer and pried it away from the door..
+Slytiger Disgruntled Veteran Channel Unless I'm wearing my tacticool 5.11 pants with ample storage space, I can't seem to fit a pair of bolt cutters into my EDC system. ;)
Jeremy, that's some cool stuff right there! In some jurisdictions carrying lock picks is a no-no. Alternatives like that are fantastic because paper clips aren't burgler tools. You can sometimes buy lock pick sets at gunshows and flea markets or buy them online. Keep in mind though you can be arrested for having them on your person in a lot of places. What are PA laws on picks?
Shocked by the number of people who think all locks are as easily picked as this Master lock. Just FYI, this Master lock is widely considered the easiest picked but still widely used lock on the planet.
thank you for this video. this helped me open up a locked computer that i bought on ebay. now i can open up the computer case and upgrade the pc with new hardware. it took me about 15 minutes to do. i just had to get the feel of it first then it opened up. very useful video. thanks again.
if you are ever trapped in a horrible situation and only have a pair of pliers and two paper clips then youre in luck. just better hope your captors didn't watch a youtube tutorial on how to not lock someone up with all the tools needed for escape.
I've been trying to spread the word and convince people to train in "soft skills". I learned lock picking and a bunch of other stuff about a year ago because I was planning on a trip to Europe. People will use soft skills infinitely more times for self defense than pieing a corner in a gunfight....
Thanks a lot, the petrol station up the road where I save 10c deposit cans & bottles from reaching landfill, big industrial type of bin, after 3 months, the big boss wants to padlock them, so I can't get into them, thanks for the tip, I will practice picking padlocks at home until I have perfected it, Cheers!!!
I’ve watched about 10 of these. All are on the table or in a vise. Show me a man laying on his back or half underneath a trailer hitch trying to hold the lock and do the same and I’ll believe. Thx for the info.
W respect and as a camera operator, there are solutions. I’m just saying in less ideal situations this is trickier than it looks. Having to hold the lock while it’s attached is a bitch! 👍
Thanks for the vid, I bought an old motorcycle with no key for the helmet lock but the helmet lock when closed covers the rear shock absorber top bolt, to change the shocks I either take a big hammer to the helmet lock or try this. I'd rather try this.
Hey Jerry Ive always had a natural gift at opening locks that have security codes I've always found them easy to bypass just by feel as for picking a padlock/keylock that I have never done I have picked a few cupboard or kitchen cupboard locks but I've never had a specific method for padlocks/keylock anyhow I never had 2 money clips I had but 1 hair clip witch I devided into 2 plus making wosre I never had the proper tools to shape my lock picking tools but I did my best with what I had I must say I struggled a quite a bit at first but that's a good thing cause it gave me the chance to get the feeling of what needs to be done and I'm ecstatic to say that I have almost mastered the process a hour or so alone with a few locks and I think I'll be semi-pro.anyhow thanks a million for sharing the knowledge for now I'm gonna keep my little toolkit with me at all times and as soon as I've the right spares and the right tool I'm gonna make myself a real beautiful and more comfortable toolkit anyhow I like that you have not only shown how to pick the lock but you have shown how to make the tools with very little more videos in the same sought of manner would be super#maguyver
Not saying this won't work at all, but the video is cleverly edited. It did not happen that fast, the tension wrench was down and to OUR viewing left. Then a few frames later the camera angle changes and the tension wrench is horizontal and going counter clockwise, ending up at almost the midnight position when the lock pops open. His breathing also changed. I'd be willing to bet for a beginner this is an all day thing trying to do this.
The camera angle and position of the tension wrench was changed because my hands were blocking the view. I repeated this a second time at 5:00 without changing the camera position. This can be a difficult and frustrating skill to learn for a beginner but practice makes perfect.
I'm pretty sure the idea is to carry the paperclips at all times, like in your wallet, and you don't need a vice, it just makes it easier if it's a padlock.
You don't need to do all that it can just be straight and you just rake it through normally and it works it just takes a tiny bit longer! And the tension can just be a simple 90 degree angle
What is not pointed out in these tutorials is that it is far harder to get right when you are holding the lock, as opposed to it being gripped tightly in a bench vise!
Turn a can of screen duster (Freon) upside down so you have it in liquid form, spray the whole lock freezing it then one good bash from a hammer is all it takes
The first time he tensions the cylinder to the left. The next time he tensions the cylinder to the right. He says it's important to know which way to tension?
not bad! although the cylinder on that one seems very sloppy but on a lot of the more heavy industrial looking ones they tend to be. not so the smaller brass ones. in my experience most of them turn clockwise. i think.
the floppy cylinder is designed to make single pin picking a little harder. makes it difficult to feel the feedback from each pin. And I do believe most American made locks do turn clockwise.
Nice vid. I'm getting started out now, but I'm having an easier time manipulating each pin individually. I've tried raking a few times, but not much luck.
I have this lock and i have been trying to unlock it with lockpicking but it just won't unlock, i have been trying for hours but nothing happens except some of the pins that go up, maybe because i put too much energy on the torque?
