- Hey everyone! In this video I rake open a simple 4 pin Master Lock 140 a number of times with different rakes. I also talk about my favourite rakes and my plan of attack while looking more at my rake collection. Enjoy!
Remember: only pick locks that are yours and that are not in use!

Glad to see misery loves company. I thought this lock was going to be a piece of cake, but the bugger has so little room to maneuver, and the pins are so fickle, I have made it my life's goal to open it.
The trick with picking the 140 is to be very careful about not oversetting. That was always my issue SPP'ing the 140. In mine (Older one with spool at 3rd), all I gotta do is set 2, being careful not to overset it and then just pop 3 into place. Takes just a few seconds. Don't even gotta touch 1 or 4.
Is it just me? I've noticed that I can pick/ rake open a lock a few times, then it gets difficult to pick, and I have to set it to the side and come back later...
It's fatigue and second guessing yourself i'd say. A rest is usually a good bet!
The lock knows!
Happens to me all the time.
Recently Ive taken up the LPL approach of not picking the same lock twice in a row now.
This was the first padlock I bought just to pick and to test a comb tool (which will open it). I wasn't able to single pin pick it for about 2 weeks, nor get in with a Peterson bogatar or city rake, although I did jiggle it once. Eventually I got a snake free with a chinese clear practice lock and that works almost every time! Love your channel, I get all my lock pick advice from you and Bosnian bill! Cheers, Andrew in Australia.
Thanks for watching dude :-)
I've not been lockpicking long but I've found the city rake to be the most successful by far
Thanks for the tutorial - Just opened a nemesis Master Lock 150D with your excellent guidance !! Sparrows Night School "2 peak worm"
Thanks lock noob, you just helped me pick my very first lock!
Glad to help! Happy picking
You can rake spools on the small masterlocks and brinks though I do more rocking while moving slowly in and out. If you're careful you can figure out whats binding with your rake to go after it specifically and even drop in to a false set while jiggling and intentionally find the binding spool with your rake, especially the worm.
Thank you for your vid! I haven't spp'd the 140 yet, but have raked it open heaps!
As a lock noob myself, these 140s are hard to pick; at least the new ones are. The pins are spongy, hard to set/manage, and extreme bit difference. I've seen picking success with comb rake & half diamond rake, but wonder if they're an old version of the 140.
I just started learning and have 4 of them. I’m having the same issues the pin feedback feels like gritty mush half the time.
Great vid. Still can’t pick my 140 but it was very satisfying seeing you do it!
Cor! This is an old vid! Keep practicing and you’ll get it! :-)

Very informative.
I’ve literally just got this lock today and opened the package 15 minutes ago. I’m subscribed to you anyway but just typed master lock 140 into the search bar. I watched your SPP video that came before this one. I tried briefly for 5 minutes or so trying to do it that way but haven’t as yet. Now I’ve just tried jiggling with a triple peak one (idk the names 😂) and opened it thrice consecutively so I don’t think it was a fluke. I just have to release tension a little right before it opens
I like rakes too, and have a decent sized collection. When I first got into Locksport, I had the most success with raking. BUT, single pin picking is also a fun challenge, and often is the only alternative when raking doesn't work. I have some prized Snake Rakes that are among my favorite picks. I can SPP with a Snake Rake. I often turn the pick upside down and use it like a hook, or I can use the single hump like a short hook sometimes. Also, Sparrows Worm rake is a great rake. And, Sparrows makes a medium hook called The Attila, which is like a thin version of a Peterson Gem. Excellent hook.
Yes, I like to rake, but the fun for me is SPP
@@LockNoob Lockpicking Lawyer is the most consistent SPP locksporter I've seen. His system for starting with Pin 1 checking for binders is so practical. Lot of people like to start from the back pins. To each his own, right?
Awesome channel
I use to be able to SPP my 140 but am just getting back into it and SPP is not working. I pulled out my Sparrows Bogo rake watching this and had it open in under a min.
I had really great luck raking a 140.
Nice video Lock Noob 👍👍👍👍🧡
Thank you :-) it’s a bit old now though :-)
I’ve been trying so much with my sparrows bogota but it never opens , this is literally the first couple days I’ve been picking locks and I can’t even get it on the clear ones , any idea why?
I just got into the hobby and got this with the multipick elite 9. I lucked into opening it with the snake tool on the first try 😅. No luck yet with the single pick. I feel like the pick in this set is too tall for this lock.
what are these two picks your talking about and were to get them at 9:30
I have found mine surprisingly difficult to pick. Nearly impossible to rake.
Tex Patriot they can be tricky. It depends largely on the bitting :-)
Same with me chum. I think we just got bad luck with our bitting. Can’t pick mine at all.
I don't get it. I bought a Master 140 specifically to learn and practice on. I have tried every pick and rake I own and I just cannot open it. What am I doing wrong? Should I only be using just enough tension to move the cylinder?
Btw, do you happen to know if they can be shimmed?
They can be shimmed. Also tension is key with raking... these 140s have spool pins too, which don’t make them great beginner raking locks. Try a master lock 3 or 5 :-)
Garrett Pollock thanks friend. I’ve been going crazy with my 140 which is my first lock. You’re the first person who’s said it’s not a good first lock. Thank you! Going to bin mine and look for a better starter lock.
I cannot open this lock! Tried all of my rakes. Tried single pin... cannot do it!
This is hilarious. I can't afford any rakes all I have is wiper metal for My tension and my pick. Works aok
We bought a house and there were three of these on different gates around the property, but no keys. I was able to rake them open almost faster than if I had the key. Sheer luck maybe, but I still can SPP and rake these things in no time. Now, I have a Master 911 that I can't pick to save my life! I even took the core out and put it in my Panavise and still can't pick it! It's kicking my butt!
The 911 is pretty nice :-)
I have 3 of these. And I snake em with the basic fng
You can rake the Master 140 with the Southord Bogota if you use top-of-the-keyway tension - there's enough room.
The thing is, the key determining factor with raking is the bitting. A bogota might work very well for some 140's but not all of them.
Ah, that is true. Just had a look at mine and the bitting is fairly even and quite high for all the pins. Great channel, BTW.
Thank you, I appreciate that :-)
I can’t rake mine but single pin is easy only have to set 2 pins.
They must have seriously cut down on security pins over the years. My 140s seem to have 1 spool and my 150s seem to have 2 spools.
The sparrows worm gets about 90% of my 140s as well.
150s are really hard I've spent hours on mine
What is the (015) in the video name for ?? I see many lock picking channels are doing that ??
LEG4GOTT good question. It means it's my 15th video. I'm on 217 now :-)
Lock Noob woah I've got a couple to catch up on 😂
My Masterlock 140d has a littlw safefy pin in the front wich ruins everything can t pick it :(
You’ll get it with practice I’m sure :-)
Lock Noob also i think i dont it open cause i use paper clips 😂 😂
Hey, I’m using good pics and I absolutely can’t open it. Don’t feel bad.
With this lock, even raking... once you get a false set, it's done. :)
Volume!
Maybe don't put too much tension
Mediem tension
My grandma can open that lock with a bobby pin
Then I applaud your gran!
Learn how to rock an L rake and it might work better.
Good advice and on other 140's rocking has worked a treat. Sadly on this one, the bitting doesn't lend itself to rocking, at least not for me
LN , is that elongated worm a (southord) s rake 3 ?
That guy in a told about lockpicking

Horrible camera angle
Try my new vids - I'm about 700 in now
@@LockNoob He's a dick head. But to me, it was volume issues.
