I know it’s an old video, but I had no idea what the code to my lock was and couldn’t find a single video about the lock in open stage until yours. Just tested it out on a completely different lock brand and it works! Very happy not to need to throw the lock out. Thanks!
I found a locked Abus 165/40 in work today. Locked in the open position. This video tutorial worked very well. Figured out the combination in 30 seconds! Thanks very much
Thanks! My kids had been playing with the lock and managed to change the combination to something unknown. It didnt work first time but I watched the video again and listened carfeully to what you said, and I got the lock open :) So nice not to have to throw the lock away.
Omg after 3 years Im finally able to use my lock. But it was a 3 number combination so it was more easy thank You!! Other youtuber have tutorials of how to open a closed lock but u made the vid i wanted. Very thank you!!
Yess it worked. I was struggling to find a video for whne the lock is in an open state, andp you were my saviour, amd for that you get a like. Very satisfied
Thank you so much . I have a problem with my padlock 2 days back .I was try to regulate it but I couldn't. I came here found your video. Great thank for give me way out
Excellent Demonstration. You've explained that lock very well. I've not come across many combination locks to decode, but based off of this and other good demonstrations, I believe I could pull it off.
I stumbled on that video, quickly realised it wouldnt help me cause my lock is stuck in open position (180 degrees position). I shuffled the numbers anyway pushing pretty hard for 2 minutes… heard a big click and it was done. I’ll leave a thumb up anyway for how randomly helpful this was
Just tried this on my Abus 165/40 and it's exactly as you described for me too. The shackle on my lock barely locates in the locking hole - less than 0,5mm (20 thou) I estimate, so it's easy for it to pop out whilst picking ! Thanks for another educational vid :o) Dave
Thanks for the feedback. Funny that many people have the problem of a locked up combination padlock in the open state. By the way: There are locks that have a different mechanism to disengage the inner from the outer wheel (needed when changing the combo). These locks need very light pressure as heavy pressure would just cause the inner wheel to stay in place: th-cam.com/video/NHotXNIwbWI/w-d-xo.html
I've looked at that vid before - I guess the much better build quality of the Abus means that it doesn't go into 'combination change mode' when you push-pick, whereas the cheap lock does...but you found the secret of how to push-pick the cheap one anyway.
Wow, I had to try it out instantly with my 165/40 ;D. It works amazingly well. Thank you for sharing this Potti, it is actually a situation I never thought of before ;).
ok i have a question i tried this now for 2 or 3 hours and i m still not getting in there are 10k possible answers now i found out of the 10k 200 and are there locks that cant be closed like this?
Mine is stuck this way, too. It was stuck open like in the video, I got it decoded and closed it, and it locked up when I went to change the combo. Don't remember what the old combo is, and can't get all the wheels to bind very well now
I think i almost got the first 2 (most resistent ) numbers, but the other 2 are too loose,as well as the shakckle has got a bigger hole to move around freely. 🥺
Bonsoir, C'est valable pour tous les cadenas à code à 4 chiffres et n'importe quelle marque de cadenas. J'ai un cadenas à 4 chiffres et il ni a pas de marque. Merci.
Thanks. I think I have a different problem. With a 165/20 the combination is still 000. When I try to change it by rotating the shackle 180 degrees and pressing it down, the 3 wheelswill turn to a new set of numbers, but then the shackle cannot be pulled back up. So I can not move the shackle back 180 degrees. If I change the wheels back to 0-0-0, the shackle can be pulled back up, rotated 180, pressed down and locked as it was originally. I would appreciate any ideas. Defective lock? My error?
Yes, could be broken, but I doubt it. If you are not experienced in understanding the feedback it might be hard to correctly apply the method. Can you explain the type of feedback you get?
thank you for your video! do you think this technique also works on the abus 145/30 (coloured 3 wheel lock)? or is it better to apply the soft push pick method? i tried but i was not abe to push pick on the abus 145/30, any tipps? :)
I only have a 145/20. On that lock you cannot lock up the lock if the shackle is open. Pull picking it is fairly easy (no false gates): th-cam.com/video/ZG4U1ZfMuLg/w-d-xo.html Try different tension methods and especially check that the shackle is perfectly aligned when trying to close-pick the lock.
Hello, I am trying this method on a Co TRAVEL TSA005. But it did not work at all, the dials are all snug when I try to turn them while applying pressure on it, it’s perfectly aligned with the hole but it’s not working. Any advice?
It worked!!! Wow I guess I kinda got lucky with it I dunno how. I just kept on trying. It’s a difficult lock. But I would not have done it without your help! Thanks 👍🏻
Well mine must be broken. When I turn the shackle all the wheels/numbers turn in the up position. But doesn’t lift high enough to go over the edge and into the lock hole. Pushing down everything gets smoother to turn and no tension and when pulling up I can feel tension on the wheels but I can’t get them to move unless I release tension on the shackle? And if I think I get one and move/rotate the shackle all or most the wheels turn along with it. It’s crazy.
My lock seems to have false gates on the reverse sides of the wheels 😑. I could decode it easily when it was in a closed state, but I can can't get it closed now that it is locked open. Update: I bought a brand new lock, and this one I can easily decode when it is locked open. There is a distinct click when I fall into a gate. I don't know what is up with the old lock. I still can't get that one closed. I bought it second-hand, so I don't know how old it is. Maybe ABUS have changed the design to make these locks easier to close if they are locked open. Or maybe there is something wrong with my old lock.
Hello! Thank you for the video. I would love to be able to fix a lock of mine that is having this issue. I was wondering if somebody could help me. Due to the design of my lock there is a piece of plastic in the way that prevents me from being able to line up the shackle directly over the place where it goes into the lock, as I have to be able to lift the shackle up and over this plastic piece, which I cannot do because it is stuck. Do you have any advice?
Thank you. Yes, the thumb - without band aid you would have seen an ugly and terrible bloody fingers which perhaps would have caused the video to become censored ;-) All my locks are tame and would never bite me by purpose. But just like when feeding animals, sometimes accidents happen ;-)
hmm almost the same, but the shackle is stuck in resetting mode... cant turn around to the hole.. p.s. what is shackle? i just meant the curvy steel...
Great video. have a Squire cp50 combination lock I have been trying to find a way of decoding for a while with no luck :-( I'd love to send it to you for your analysis if you fancy a challenge?
Thank you :-) Well, I have checked the website where they show the squire locks and also watched a video where they demonstrated the use (they seem to be really tough - also one with guarded shackle is available). It could be built in the same way like the TOKOZ (th-cam.com/video/Inhc3LUbhFA/w-d-xo.html ) where you cannot directly tension the locking mechanism (similar to a safe lock). So I suspect that it cannot be decoded by normal techniques. Maybe you need to attach a stethoscope (which I tried without success on the TOKOZ) or need to find other creative ways. Well, I will never say no to a lock. But I doubt that I will be successful in decoding. Also I might need to keep it for a while until I find the time to focus it. So if you still wanna loan it, I'll send you my address.
Potti314, yes email me your address today as I'm going to the post office in the morning. My email address is in all of my vid descriptions or you can pm me via uklocksport. Don't worry about time. It's yours to keep and assess at your leisure
Bought two locks. Changed the combination on the first one without issue. The second one opened but its stuck and swings from 90 degrees and 180 degrees only. Can’t get it back to original 0 degrees where you instruct us to push down with tension. Anybody have any ideas?
I have tried that. Yes there are numbers that are tough to turn but unlike some you I have ZERO skillz on feeling for the correct number to try. I have no patience but there is something within me that wants or needs to be able to crack it. Takes me back to all the swearing I did over Rubiks Cube and the sweet feeling I got after cracking it. Thank you for trying to help. 👍🏻
Sorry to say but it didn't work out for me... I got the last 2 digits in place but then found that atleast one of them is incorrect as I tried the other 2 by trial and error but none worked.... HELP ME SOMEONE PLEASE
Does it have false gates? Checked out my play list on combination locks (th-cam.com/play/PLuSaKS-pr3L81psh-vAVyp7R6Te1n5M37.html), especially this th-cam.com/video/eNhKRSqncYs/w-d-xo.html which covers a method for defeating false gates.
Thank you - a lot of fun for me with these combination locks. Don't believe the manufacturers have ever thought people would buy these products for entertainment ;-)
Please try the same method as show in the video. I will see if I can test the method on my 4 wheel master lock and let you know about tricks / tip. Might take one or two days.
Find a solution for my 3 wheeler lock which was locked in open state you're only the who can help me to my problem I tried you're video. But it could not work on my master lock
I tested it with my master 4 wheel combination lock. It works in the same manner but it requires some feeling. Try pushing the shackle with different power and see if this changes the feedback on the wheel.
I have a lock where the shackle is locked open to the right when facing the part where you put in the combination. I can't rotate it at all. This method doesn't seem to work in that position. When I put pressure down, the top two won't move and the bottom two spin freely with no resistance.
What lock is it? I tried to reach the state that you described with the ABUS but without success. If you carefully push down the shackle, can you then turn the top two wheels and do you feel varying resistance?
Potti314 I actually ended up getting it with pulling tension instead of pushing. It's a Hampton lock but looks identical to the brinks one you did. That video helped with the different technique.
It not possible for me at a distance to tell what's going on with your lock - I'm sorry. Technically the shackle can be pushed in if nothing is in it's way. Possible obstacles are the inner wheels (not in a gate), the bump on the shackle (the side where the shackle stays in the lock) and the open side of the shackle above the hole. Maybe you can figure out the reason why the wheels do not bind. Also check if the ring with the cutouts (the side where the shackle stays in the lock) is twisted. Good luck. If you like, you send me pictures or make a video so that I have something to look at ;-)
Thank you. I believe this will work on all combination locks with the same type of mechanism (beside of very cheap ones where you actually only turn the outer wheel and lock the inner wheel when applying too much tension). The Squire might be a different sorry as they sell theses locks as very secure; also one with guarded shackle is available. So I think that a different mechanism is used there. Maybe the same as in the TOKOZ th-cam.com/video/Inhc3LUbhFA/w-d-xo.html There you cannot directly tension the locking mechanism. For decoding I have not found a method yet, nor I have seen one decoding them. But I tested changing the combination on my TOKOZ while it was open. You can simply push in the shackle and the padlock is locked up. Maybe it behaves the same for the Squire.
I was playing that exact model lock and accidentally changed it, using this method I couldn't do it but my mum could, i think you need pretty strong hands to hold it down
I know it’s an old video, but I had no idea what the code to my lock was and couldn’t find a single video about the lock in open stage until yours. Just tested it out on a completely different lock brand and it works! Very happy not to need to throw the lock out. Thanks!

Thank you so much . I have a problem with my padlock 2 days back .I was try to regulate it but I couldn't. I came here found your video. Great thank for give me way out
You're welcome - glad you were successful.
THANK YOU!!! I forgot the combination when it was open and this helped me solve it in SECONDS!!!
Cheers :-) Happy it helped.
Stumbled on this on an old reddit thread, managed to open a lock stuck in a similar fashion within 3 minutes. Great help, thanks !
genius! i was really doubting on your video until it was working. Great video!
Thanks! This video saved my friend a lot of hassle :)
Thank you very much, didn’t think about doing the process from the bottom wheel
Thanks for the update and the way you explain things thanks once again for the efforts and for sharing this with us appreciation 🙏👍🇩🇰
Thanks alot!!!!! Fixed my Yale lock with your instructions. Awesome
Cheers and thanks for watching.
Excellent demonstration. Works perfectly
Excellent Demonstration. You've explained that lock very well. I've not come across many combination locks to decode, but based off of this and other good demonstrations, I believe I could pull it off.
Thank you. I believe sooner than later you will able to test your assumption ;-)
Warm thanks to you for sharing your experience with us and the great explanation :) it helped me within seconds :)
Glad to read - thanks for the feedback.
Thank you so much! It worked great after 20 minutes.
ja i hab 30minuten gebraucht keine hilfe
Glad you had success.
I stumbled on that video, quickly realised it wouldnt help me cause my lock is stuck in open position (180 degrees position). I shuffled the numbers anyway pushing pretty hard for 2 minutes… heard a big click and it was done. I’ll leave a thumb up anyway for how randomly helpful this was
same here
What should I do because I forgot the combination after changing since then I can't close it.
You are my hero for making this video. I almost gave up
Haha, glad you had success. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you ! My son had messed up the setup of his new lock and coudn't get it locked. Solved in 5 minutes.
I really love to play with these locks. You turned me on to them a while back. Thanks for these awesome videos Potti.
Thanks for the compliment - makes me happy that I could infect you with the combo virus ;-) Have fun :-)
Great video. Helped me sort my lock!

:o)
I have a brinks lock stuck in open state but with the shaft facing backwards. I cant figure out how to get it out of that position
Wow, I had to try it out instantly with my 165/40 ;D. It works amazingly well. Thank you for sharing this Potti, it is actually a situation I never thought of before ;).
Thank you. Many question arose for that situation. Seems this happens to people sometimes in reality. Happy that you can approve the method :-)
Never happened to me, but now in case it ever happens, I'm well trained by the number lock master :D.
Thank you very much for your help!
Thank you I was able to decode in 5min
Hi! Thanks for the great video, but I cannot get it done on my 145/40 which is in an open state. Can you help please?
You are amazing!!! Totally saved me!!
woow thank you for the great explanation! it helped me 😊
I can’t turn my shackle around it’s stuck in the set a new combination position but I can wiggle it a bit
Very nice video. One never know when such advice can be very handy. Thank you for it.
Thank you.
My lock is stuck pushed in where you would change the passcode and I can’t push it up
thanks for the video. If you can't align the shackle in the closed position, how can i unlock it?
What exactly prevents aligning the shackle correctly?
@@Potti314 the lock has a raised surface when locked. So the shackle cant reach the closing point.
Can you try to decode the lock when pulling out or pushing in the shackle located in the change-position? Do you feel resistance on the wheels?
ok i have a question i tried this now for 2 or 3 hours and i m still not getting in there are 10k possible answers now i found out of the 10k 200 and are there locks that cant be closed like this?
Do you know what to do if the lock is Stuck in the "Code changing" position? It is Turned 180 degrees and is pushed down but does not come up again.
Not really, play around with pulling or pushing and feeling if you get resistance on the wheels.
Did you figure it out? This is where mine is stuck
Update, I was able to get it to pushed back up but now it’s stuck in the same position as the video and I can’t figure it out 😭
Got it :)
Mine is stuck this way, too. It was stuck open like in the video, I got it decoded and closed it, and it locked up when I went to change the combo. Don't remember what the old combo is, and can't get all the wheels to bind very well now
I think i almost got the first 2 (most resistent ) numbers, but the other 2 are too loose,as well as the shakckle has got a bigger hole to move around freely. 🥺
Thank you so much dear love u a lot
This is very helpful!!! Thank you!!

Hey man I has an aristrocrat lock (3 wheel) and this isnt working can anyone help
It worked. Thank you :D
I hope this works! Found this great padlock in a box at home and I wanna use it for gym. /a student who do not wish to buy a new lock
Thank's for this vid, your explications are very clear!
Thank you - your feedback makes me really happy :-)
Thank you.
Thank you, i did it in like 4 min

Not sure but it sound to me that you didn't push down the shackle deep enough and hence your lock is actually not in change-mode.
Wow. It worked. Thanks
So mine is stuck in reset and not turning. Not getting any feedback from the lock
Oh, I can just say try pulling or pushing on the shackle and wiggling the wheels. Good luck.
@@Potti314 ok thx
Mine is locked in the open position, and the top bit cannot be moved
Try playing with the shackle height.
Tried what you have suggested on 4 wheel Masterlock that is locked open didn’t work for me, could lock be broken.
Yes, could be broken, but I doubt it. If you are not experienced in understanding the feedback it might be hard to correctly apply the method. Can you explain the type of feedback you get?
I have a 4 combination Master locked in open state. Tried what you have done on this a us, nothing happens any suggestions please. Mick
I'll check with my Master lock - just make sure the shackle is really well aligned over the hole otherwise it will never bind.
I have this issue with a 5 number lock. Is the technic the same?
It doesn't depend on the number of digits / wheels.
what if the shackle is locked in the opposite position in reset mode
I would pull or push (depending what is needed) and decode it accordingly.
thank you for your video! do you think this technique also works on the abus 145/30 (coloured 3 wheel lock)? or is it better to apply the soft push pick method? i tried but i was not abe to push pick on the abus 145/30, any tipps? :)

Try with less pressure.
If the wheels bind up tightly try with less pressure on the shackle and start with the one that stays binding.
It worked!!! Wow I guess I kinda got lucky with it I dunno how. I just kept on trying. It’s a difficult lock. But I would not have done it without your help! Thanks 👍🏻
Thank you for letting me know. Appreciate your kind feedback. Cheers.

Aah, hungry animals. You may need to invest in some chain maille mittens. :)
hmm almost the same, but the shackle is stuck in resetting mode... cant turn around to the hole.. p.s. what is shackle? i just meant the curvy steel...

I can just say that you need to line up the shackle as good as possible and vary the pressure to get best feedback.
Omg thank you so much 🙏
Nailed it. Thanks
What if the lock is locked where you're suppose to reset it, but it doesn't go high enough to lock it and its just stuck there.
Then it's locked up in the change position. Guess you have to decode it to get it fully open. Pull on the shackle and try to decode it. Good luck.
@@Potti314 yeah I was moving it around and I guess I got lucky now its fixed
i have a cisa 211/40 lock and i cannot open it becose i forgot the namber ... can you help me ? please?
Does it have false gates? Checked out my play list on combination locks (th-cam.com/play/PLuSaKS-pr3L81psh-vAVyp7R6Te1n5M37.html), especially this th-cam.com/video/eNhKRSqncYs/w-d-xo.html which covers a method for defeating false gates.

I also have this problem
Thank you!
My pleasure :-)
Thanks you so much for you explanation! it takes patience and a bit of sensitivity too
Yes, it requires patients and sensitivity, but I love decoding just because of that. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks just got mine open 342
Thanks for the feedback :-)
Pls make a video on 3 wheeler master lock
Sorry, but I make videos when I have time and I feel inspired. You need to wait or buy a new lock. Sorry.
Find a solution for my 3 wheeler lock which was locked in open state you're only the who can help me to my problem I tried you're video. But it could not work on my master lock
I tested it with my master 4 wheel combination lock. It works in the same manner but it requires some feeling. Try pushing the shackle with different power and see if this changes the feedback on the wheel.
I have a lock where the shackle is locked open to the right when facing the part where you put in the combination. I can't rotate it at all. This method doesn't seem to work in that position. When I put pressure down, the top two won't move and the bottom two spin freely with no resistance.
What lock is it? I tried to reach the state that you described with the ABUS but without success. If you carefully push down the shackle, can you then turn the top two wheels and do you feel varying resistance?
Potti314 I actually ended up getting it with pulling tension instead of pushing. It's a Hampton lock but looks identical to the brinks one you did. That video helped with the different technique.
Good to read - thanks for the feedback.
Very well explained! :D :D
Thank you :-)
Thanks
i push hard as i can but no resistance ??!!?!
Maybe the shackle is not aligned perfectly above the hole. Also try every wheel.
I tried every wheel but there isn't any resistance even when the bump is perfectly lined
It not possible for me at a distance to tell what's going on with your lock - I'm sorry. Technically the shackle can be pushed in if nothing is in it's way. Possible obstacles are the inner wheels (not in a gate), the bump on the shackle (the side where the shackle stays in the lock) and the open side of the shackle above the hole. Maybe you can figure out the reason why the wheels do not bind. Also check if the ring with the cutouts (the side where the shackle stays in the lock) is twisted. Good luck. If you like, you send me pictures or make a video so that I have something to look at ;-)
Do you know how to fix a open state lock without any combinations just a key
What lock is it?
Do you think this process works on most/all combination locks.
Would another method be needed for say a Squire combo lock??🤔🤔🤔
Great vid btw buddy😘😘😘👍
Thank you. I believe this will work on all combination locks with the same type of mechanism (beside of very cheap ones where you actually only turn the outer wheel and lock the inner wheel when applying too much tension). The Squire might be a different sorry as they sell theses locks as very secure; also one with guarded shackle is available. So I think that a different mechanism is used there. Maybe the same as in the TOKOZ th-cam.com/video/Inhc3LUbhFA/w-d-xo.html There you cannot directly tension the locking mechanism. For decoding I have not found a method yet, nor I have seen one decoding them. But I tested changing the combination on my TOKOZ while it was open. You can simply push in the shackle and the padlock is locked up. Maybe it behaves the same for the Squire.
Pls upload a video IN OPEN STATE in 3 WHEELER LOCK
It's the same technique as for 4 wheels. What lock do you have and what did not work when your tried to decode it to the closed state?
I was playing that exact model lock and accidentally changed it, using this method I couldn't do it but my mum could, i think you need pretty strong hands to hold it down
No big force is required. Just check that the shackle is placed properly above the hole in the body.
Thank you sir i did open my lock
Thanks for the kind feedback :-)
Not working for me
Ich kann den shackle nicht drehen .... egal?
Bin zu doof ... dann heißt es ausprobieren ... ich muss drücken gell ? Boah bin lost
