I usually use a thin wire or sum down the opening for resetting the combination to align the gates together then moving the pack together to open these.
I have one and at first i thought the same but mine is completely new and with basic techiques i could't open it unlike a cheap WORK lock. Its just built like that from the factory to make it harder to decode.
they can be tricky to decode, when the internals are filled with dust and dirt. I use my interflon fine lube, that I also use for my ruko cylinders, to get the wheels to move more freely, when I have to decode them, It also helps the fence to fall into the gate.
Thank you for the video. I accidentally bought this combination padlock as my first one to unlock. It's brand new, but behaves the same as that battered one. I have bruised fingers and thumbs after trying to unlock it again after scrambling the combination. But now, thanks to you, I should have it unlocked again really soon
I've been trying to get mine to reset the combination on there and that's a regular 0000 and I'm not able to get it to taken set in combination when I put it into the right area have any advice for me?
Hi I know this isn't about combination locks , I was wondering if you have tried out or heard of a product that i saw in bump key UK , it's Yale lishi style lock decoder. If you have can you let me know what you think of it as I'm thinking of purchasing one which you can get in euro or rim lock style ??? And please can you tell me the difference between euro and rim locks? Hope to hear from you soon Phil
I was using that method to open bicycle locks 40 or so years ago. As an adolescent, I thought it was funny to unlock all the bikes at a bike stand, then put all the locks back on different bikes. Later on I discovered when the lock is open I could remove a c-clip and change the order of the combination wheels, or even exchange them with other locks of the same type. Then I discovered kids (same age as i was) would pay me a dollar to unlock their bike and tell them the new combination.....until they wised up and realised it was me that changed them to start with. After that others started playing with the locks and it wasn't long before a lot of people knew how to decode them easily, and ppl stopped using those locks and switched to a cable and padlock, then in another decade the U-bolt style locks came with tubular locks.
Thin shim stock or a feeler gauge trimmed to a thin point. Take that and slip it beside the number wheels. Turn each wheel until you feel the point drop into a groove. Line up all of the wheels this way, and advance each one by one number at the same time, and it will unlock - usually 180 degrees from where you found the notches.
I'd love more decoding videos. I only got into locks because I like intricate precision mechanics, I've still never successfully picked a lock (probably for lack of equipment) but I've decoded many. By trade, I'm a repairman, and I've got the authority to go through any lock in my way and replace it (except for utilities and stuff like that, police and banks..)
I haven’t tried this myself but I wonder if you took a small bar clamp and used it as a spreader to hold tension on the shackle you might save your hands from some stress.
Yes, those yale combos are a bit tricky because they do have false gates. Unlike the squire combos, the false gates arent all directly opposite the true gates. Trying to decipher one of these thats a bit battered and full of grit is especially challenging. I really dont know though, why they leave so little depth for the opening end of the shackle. It would have also been very easy to include a ballbearing mechanism (ballbearing-connecting bar-ballbearing) that locks the opening end of the shackle when the other end is depressed into the wheels. A shame they didnt do that yet.
You missed a small step. Attach the loose end of the chain to a hydraulic piston. Over charge the piston with some no2. Set it to wumbo, then use a shim to decode. 😁
Normally these don’t take too long, but this has had some serious ware. The other thing is once I have the code I always have the code unless it’s changed
I love the chain idea-I've never seen anything like that, but I'm totally appreciating it, and will have to try that in the future! Thanks for sharing that.
@@jeffandthings77 ... and if its REALLY stiff, wrap a cloth through the shackle and pull down on that. The wierd thing is, if im doing this, then im using my left hand to turn the wheels, whereas when im picking a lock i use my right hand for the pick and left hand for the tensioner.
Maybe you could try using a needle in the hole used to reset the combination and turning wheels until the needle is at the bottom. Once you're done doing that you just have to move all the wheels 90 or 180 degrees depending on the model and it should open easily => th-cam.com/video/8gIdcFJZBv4/w-d-xo.html
This one took a LOT of shackle tension to decode, I’m guessing it must have been used a lot.

@@allensmithphotography that works? That's genius! I woulda never though of that.

I love listening to you pick locks. You get so excited when you hear a click.
Thanks 😊
I loved it when I used this technique on a much simpler lock in an escape room once. “Where was the combination?” “I dunno I just decoded the lock…”
Lol
Thanks. It worked. So many ways from so many people...don't work. You are the one.

I can really relate to these "Oh!" moments when setting.
😀😀
That was a really good example of how to pick that lock thank you for the information
Thanks
Good tip about locking it to a chain!
Got that from Potti314

So the Master lock came in handy after all…😂🔐
Lol
Nicely done 😀 🐈🐾🐈⬛🐾🇬🇧🍻

The problem is, you have to vary the tension based on feel. Constant force wouldn’t work very well
I already opened but when I try closing it stuck
Anybody who's done this knows the satisfaction of the last 'click' and open
Absolutely!!!!
mine is "locked" in the open position.
and the code seems shifted.
how to crack the code like this?

kudos to this vlog! I decoded it! 🎉🎉 thank you! very helpful.❤
Thank you very much 💯
Did it work? Yes 😀
nicely done 😁👍
Thanks 😊
Great video Ash mate not seen you do a decode for a wile👍👊😊🇬🇧😎
Cheers Leon mate!
Thank you, different lock same technique, I locked myself out of my lock and I have been trying for 2 days, thanks
Glad I could help
Thank youuu !! Thst trick of holding it tight and listen to it caredully, definitely worled 😁

Cracked it! Thanks ☺️
isn't 5219 a variation of Bosnianbills codes he liked to use?
Possibly!
great vid done very well thanks👍👍👍
Thanks 😊
Love this video!
I hear a clicking sound every time I turn it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Feel bad that you ended up bruised for the sake of our entertainment 😟
Nah, hazard of the job
Thanks man :)
So I'm better off getting a combination lock. Better then a lvl 10 master lock that taken you 3secs

Thanks I did it😊
thank you sir

I have been know to use a snap clip dog lead on the shackle with the other end wrapped around my foot when decoding these.
@@penfold7800 Clever-and lighter than his solution, I'm sure!

Lovely decoding! :D :D Note that for this particular type of lock, there is a super cunning method to decode them. Check out Potti314's video 544 :D
I miss his videos ☹️
@@LockNoob I miss him too ☹

The video you link to here is for Masterlock combos. I would hope that yale has already thought of that exploit.
I tried this once and my hand cramped so quickly I gave up, have to try your trick there. Thanks for another great vid you are a wizard 🧙♂🪄
Thanks 😊
