- Part two in a series which shows how to defeat combination bicycle locks. The first video showed simple combination locks with no false gates in the combination wheels. The first video can be found here:
• Defeating Simple Ring ...
This video tackles the more secure Kryptonite combination lock.
Thank you so much. i hadn't used my bike forever. I sat in a chair and very patiently used your method. I think it helped that I had read a book about a safe expert describing how to break open a bank safe.
It worked! It's been sitting on the shelf for 10 years locked with an unknown combination. Hey hey!
In ten years you could have say in front of the tv just spinning the numbers and would have opened probably in a day or two just randomly spinning them until it opened.
That's a very strong lock, tough to crack, nothing a bolt cutter can't handle, but still one of the best bike locks I've seen...
THIS WORKS! It took me 30 mins but I got it! persistence pays. I didn't write numbers down I did it by touch and feel and pressure. Thank you!!!
can you told the idea
Just worked for me. The clicks on the gates were very prominent. Thank you for this!
I also forgot my lock number... I followed this method it work..thanks bro
THANKS 🙏🏻 A LOT. You are saving me money. However, if I was living in a poor part of the city, my feelings towards you would not be so cordial
😂😅🤣
Way too funny...I started at 0000 and when I arrived at 0005 it simply worked out. Totally have been forgot this combination for a friend, thank you !
Kryptonite factory sets their combos to 0005
I just saw your comment and I did a wild try. And what do you know. It worked!!!!! Thanks.
1 year later...You never know who and how your words will reach somebody. Amazing my friend
Nice 🤓 Took me 3 minutes using youre instructions.. Cheers... 👍
my combo lock has a push lever so that the pressure trick doesn't work. you'd have to push the lever for every try. help!
Hmm, I wonder if the spacing of the false and true gates is the same for all locks of that model. I'm guessing probably not - they probably just throw in a randomly spaced wheel when they assemble the lock. At least now though, if someone resets the code on your lock (assuming that the spacing stays constant per wheel), you should still be able to know which of the gates are true just by the spacing of the gates?
1st digit: T +4 F +4 F +2
2nd digit: T +1 F +8 F +1
3rd digit: T +4 F +2 F +4
4th digit: T +3 F +6 F +1
thank you. this worked great. never Woulda remember the number that it was set at
TIP: if you have a feeler gauge USE IT, put it inbetween the last number and the male end of the lock, you can eliminate false gates using this (ex. If your .010 gauge slips right in with the combo "0010" but there's a ton of resistance using "0040" you can pretty much eliminate that "4" as a false gate)
I admire your patience
i can't understand which one is false key and true key
I bought a kryptonite crypto lock on Amazon it was used But for $50 I assumed it would still be set to open I have tried the 00005 and nothing works I’m so pissed off
worked ! thanks for upload youre a lifesaver. took about ten to twelve tries
wow thank you for this, the only video that worked for me. My Btwin 300 was locked in my cupboard. The main tip that worked was the tightening of the gates when they rotate. Not sure if was a true or false. So I got down to the last 2 numbers. The first 2 i managed to lock in. Then I just did the brute force on the last 2. Great Thanks a ton
It worked for me! Thanks for pointing out the false numbers. Spent hours brute-forcing this and ended up going right past the number because my hands were tired and moves were sloppy.
I have a Kryptonite 1218. Similar looking lock, but this technique didn’t really work...is there something different about the gate mechanism?
Thanks a lot! We couldn’t remember the combination but we made it with your help!
Should we start by wd40 the lock keys? I noticed in one of your videos you suggested that but not in the others?
After looking inside the lock housing and comparing the numbers I did write down before I did it by touch. It happened that the numbers i wrote were the false hits or out by 1.
i feel all the same exactly the same tension. Wheels move very smoothly . Can you pls help
I'm trying to open a BELL Watchdog 100. Starting at 1111 everything feels tight. When I start turning one wheel, whether from the left end or the right end, I just don't get a sense of a difference. It seems like more numbers click than slide. I've tried turning it faster or slower to get a feel for it. Any suggestions? If I take it to a bike shop is it likely someone could crack this for me, or should I go to a playground and ask a kid??
wow. Thank you. That beats breaking out the bolt cutters by a mile!
+TheTrh51, Thanks man! Do you get so see bike locks like these at work much? I heard that the Kryptonite cable is really easy to cut through unfortunately, so it may indeed be easier to cut it off, lol!
+Git Pick'd we'd do it but nobody is going to pay 80$ for us to saw the sucker off. I think I'll do some community service at the local schools now... haha
right doing all this you will been caught
This method did not work for me and my Kryptonite but I did get it...appears my cheaper lock has only one false gate. Trick was to pull way harder than you think you need to: I was pulling with my right foot in the cable while pulling with my right hand and spinning dials with left hand 😂 then feel which dial (any dial) has the most tension and spin it til it almost locks on a number. Then find whichever next dial has the next most tension and repeat the process.
Ok, I attempted to open with your instructions several times, still won't open. Could it be broken? Could I send it somewhere to have it opened?
nice one,
Thanks. I’m going to try that tomorrow
It work?
Neptunepizza Wasn’t patient enough, I ended up cutting it !
Would this methold word for the kryptonite 0521 folding model?
I CAN TENSION MINE ALL ON ZERO - THE FIRST 2 WONT MOVE AND THE NEXT 2 SPIN FREELY - WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ?
Only one that worked for halfords multi gate. Cheers
Thanks for sharing.
Can u decide a u lock
Mine is on my bike frame, I still can't figure it out. I forgot the code because I've not used my bike for years
Or pull on the lock watching each disk. Start with the far left and one digit at a time, observe when pulling on it no longer pulls that first disk, then repeat for the other 3 numbers..
Would the false gates yeild the same effect though
@@viciousKevI think the false gate catches too, it is only the open gates which do not
i have not been able to sense the false or true gates. the wheels bind up when i apply tension pulling cables apart
The person who stole my bike probably watched this video
Thanks Git Pick'd for the video very helpful.
The lock I'm working with is so badly weathered that the brand is no longer recognizable. Does this method still work even if I don't know if there's any false gates?
it's possible, if you can find binding spots in each ring.
Whats a binding spot?
Very good. I'll get started. Many thanks
THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE BUT I HAVE A KRYPTO AND IT'S SUPER HARD TO GET FEEDBACK FROM IT - SEEMS TO BIND/GRAB IN SOME MANY POSITIONS AND THEN SOMETIMES NOT - i found it years ago (locked of course) and after watching all these videos and trying until my fingers hurt , i wonder if thers something wrong with it
hi there i have a squire cable lock i tryed to do that you did but they just spin over and over no sticking
This actually worked! You just saved me from having to buy a new lock.
On my 815 worked! It arrived with wrong combination and with this method I found it out!
@git pick'd mine doesn't bind at all. any suggestions?
it worked, great
.
It actually works 😭😭😭😭
I have no idea how i changed my combination to this number but it does work
I did try but all of the numbers has resistant. 😭😭😭😭
man I just got mine didn't he code and apparently I don't know the code I just put it
whats the best bike lock?
This " binder" explanation is pretty poor. And at 1:29, "they're all bound up" without showing us a better explanation of this "bound" thing and what you are actually referring to (are there 3 possible bound locations per dial?) is a pretty dismal and most important explanation that is not given enough time, demonstration and explanation. Is no mention to sound, vibration, and explanation why the dial will glide over certain digits and not others--then become impossible to reproduce not important here?
Great vids man! Keep them coming! :)
Thanks man! I can say the same about you! Where's ur videos at? Taking a siesta? ;-)
+Git Pick'd Yeah, I have been making some picks for a few folks so that is what I've been doing, and since my shop heater is out of propane I can't work out there too long before I get cold a grumpy. Haha! More propane should have arrived today though, so hopefully I will get some more things on video. I did pick up those three Brinks recently, so maybe I will pull them out and pick them on camera. :)
+Ith Bombgard, cool, looking forward to seeing them, dude!
I have a newer master bike lock. Seems all 4 wheels have a 9 false gates.
It's more a question. Do I do a 5 condo the same no as a 4combo and how much combos is that?
It should, and if it's 3 possibilities for each one, 243 total combos
Thanks Hacked it in reverse. It was open then we reserved it.
I have a masterlock and i can open it by feeling, i want to improve it and use it. Do you have ideas to make the pick more difficult in my 4 digit combination lock?
Yes, buy 2 extra 4digit combination locks and tie them each other.
I'm fairly tech-savvy but I too can't discern what you're talking about relative to what I should be feeling/seeing... Can I just send it to you with a $20 and a SASE to crack mine? ;p
thanks... It works 👍🏽
2643 didn't work :D
You could save some time and pull whenever you change any wheel, skipping the resets. I'm guessing you wanted to just keep this simple, but you could avoid confusion on numerical combination locks by "counting" the rotations that round (mod [# of gates per wheel], mod 3 in this case) using letters instead of numbers
(i.e. aaaa, aaab, aaac, aaba, aabb... accb, accc, baaa... cccc, [end]). Every time a wheel needs to be reset, you're just mentally assigning it back to "a" instead of physically moving it back to the "first" gate.
Wow, fantastic video. The first that I saw demonstrating and explaining false gates in combination locks in this nice way. I wonder if it is possible to feel the difference between true and false gates. That would safe a lot of time.
If they put in more false gates it would make the lock more secure, right? Are there disadvantages that come with these false gates? Like less force needed to pull it when in the false gates.
I didn't Saturday morning trying to crack it. I had looked and didn't see any videos on this yet, so after figuring it out, I decided to make a video on it.
I couldn't detect the true gates from the false. They just bind up the wheel totally when either is hit. It makes for a fun time like that though :)
The hardest part is actually finding a false gate to get you started. The other wheels won't let you fall into one easily. After finding the first, it gets much easier to get the remaining wheels to find a gate because of the extra slop. If more false gates were added, it would definitely slow down the brute force progress. But it would still be possible.
Thanks for watching Pottie314!
What I meant by feeling the difference is memorizing the amount of movement you get on the pulling side form the 3 possible positions of one wheel, and then try to estimates which one was the most.
+Potti314, I'll have my son reset the combination tomorrow and see. I'll let you know!
+Potti314, I tried to find some small difference between the clicks and feel of when a false gate vs. a true gate was encountered but i was not able to tell the difference between the 2. I had set wheels 1 and 2 to the true gate to allow free movement through themm so that they were not hindering the test at all. I then set wheel 3 to a false gate to allow for maximum movement of the male portion of the lock through wheel 3, and to allow me to feel wheel 4 through the 2 false gates and true gate. I can report that movement and feel were the same to me - no difference at all from what i could tell. The amount of travel for both the false and true gate appeared to be similar. So they did a good job in that aspect. Thanks again for watching, man!
I have what appears to be a Kryptonite 1218. I tried your method but it feels like there is a false gate behind every digit. Can that be? Another Kryptonite 4-wheel lock that I have to which I know the combo and can see inside, has only one false gate and I can see it is 4 clicks to the left of the true gate on each wheel. If you know how far away the false gate is from the true gate, you could shorten the amount of combinations to try from 81 to just 16. On the other hand, if every click has a false gate, what then?
Tom I had the same problem. I have the 1218 Kryptonite combo lock, it felt like every gate was a false gate. I finally cracked it after an hour. Once I looked inside I only seen one false gate. I used the kryptonite video and this one to help me solve this issue. I think it was shear will and determination... and a lot of luck. :) Hope you figured it out.
thx for helping :)
you're lucky because you skipped 2 codes, you hesitated, but continued and it would've driven you mad.
I haven't had any HUGE issues with this lock yet! th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfyHDlEqk6hqu9acdvK5NGzZsGKSokSbv It seems sturdy and like it will get the job done. I really like that it has a twisting lock feature to keep out dirt and debris. However, the mounting system is much too light for the lock, and continues to get loose/move around. It's mostly made of plastic parts, and I've had to tighten it a few times in the past week or so that I've had it. I'm worried that it's going to break off at some point while I'm riding. I'm considering just scrapping that part, but that would mean having to carry the heavy lock i my backpack and adding more weight. I wish I could have given this more stars, but without the mounting system, it's just another heavy lock that I have to cart around. UPDATE: Increased rating to 5 stars because the seller offered to provide a new lock and mounting system. Really appreciate the attention to customer service!!
Oh no he didn't break out a pen and paper.🤩
thanks for the great video, hopefully my future bike thief is watching this..
It work
damn bro leave my bike alone
Love your avatar xD
Really odd, Ex wife said she couldn’t remember the combo, said she will think about it later. Used this hack, she was upset when I solved it. I was like you just said you didn’t remember the combo and we are using it for the stroller at Disney. Think that combo was her debit card pin. LOL.
Don't Have Any Complaints
It don't work for me
When you find the 3 gates ( 2 false and 1 true gate) on each wheel. It is always the middle gate that is the true gate. Example if the 3 gates were 5, 6 and 7 which was the case in your video then 6 is the true gate.
The true gate on the rightmost wheel is 3; the choices are 3,4,7. If what you are saying is true, wouldn't 4 be the predicted gate for the rightmost wheel?
That logically can't be true if the combo setting mechanism is anything like other locks of this type.
Let's say you have gates at 0, 6 and 8 on wheel one out of the box (code 0000). Gate at 0 is the real one. If you change the code to 3000, then the gates will be at 3, 9 and 1 (i.e. 3,7,9). The true gate is at 0+3, not 7.
i got this lock wich i didnt knew the combination.
so i listes the numbers that it has in a website and it gave me 1200 possible combinations
i went through most of them but i also skipped a couple that seemed "too weak"
one of them was 6313 for some reason. the actual code.
after completing 6666. i eventually ended up figuring it out with a screwdriver.
😮
What the fuck is a true gate and a false gate?!?!!?!
Oh oh 😩😡
Great...
you should explain your steps better. I have no idea what you are doing at the beginning and all the blabbing about false gates, etc. Not helpful. This could easily be a 1,000,000 view video if done properly.
rename this vd to.. Cant afford a better newer bike? ..never mind,,,. Here is how to steal one, . Whats next? News at Ten showing us all how to steal stuff.
Doesn’t work
