This is for all you folks still in school!! Forget your combination? Wanna check your buddies locker? Make sure he doesn't have pictures of your mom hangin in there or somethin'. Get to crackin em !
@@lordgammadonkaargon2830how fast can most locks be picked by someone who either doesnt know what their doing or someone who barely knows what theyre doing and taking a shot at lockpicking for the first time? Lol (with all the appropriate tools of course)?
My daughter forgot her combination over summer break a few years ago. They started checking school records online for the combination. I had it open like this (and told her the combination!) in less than 3 minutes.
Counterclockwise past zero several times. Tension. Clockwise until stops. No tension. Counterclockwise to first number, tension, counterclockwise until pop. Tension. Clockwise until open. If you can drive a car, you can do this.
EVERY 2nd or 3rd number is a "snag". Furthermore, NOTHING snags, lifts, or anything else on the ACTUAL numbers. 😏This method is useless for my combination lock.
What idiot high school kids put something valuable in their locker? Like my wallet was always in my pocket and if they want to steal my text box fan, call right ahead because my mother paid for those. And she’s gonna kill you thieving ass little kids. Now that I’m in adult, I would do the same shit. Anybody steals from my kid pop pop pop pop pop
Honestly if i was back in school id probably snatch everyones locks doing this and then eventually when i had accumulated nearly all of em i wouldve locked em all together into a knotted chain of locks and put my art on display lol.
We had this issue too. If you smacked one of these cheap locks with a shoe it would pop right open. No ones locker was safe even after a bunch of theft. The gym teachera just locked the locker room after everyone changed out so no one could sneak in and steal.
Did this shit in high school, got me out of a lot of classes as the school's "Locksmith". Figured it out by playing with a random lock I found in my closet and not wanting to spend money to buy another one for my locker one weekend.
I still have my Paris Island Marine Corps boot camp locks, which are exact same as illustrated. I still know the combination after 35+yrs! If I knew this, I could have saved some damn memory!! :)
I remember back in high school so 1998, they had the combo style lock where their center had just a nob you turned and these type where the whole face turned. If you just pulled down on these locks and turned the face counter-clockwise, the face would just unscrew itself and the lock would come apart.
lol even key locks arn't now since people can pick them. my suggestion would be to keep your wallet and phone on you at all times and leave the change of cloths in the locker room.
@travisd.4098still gotta write down all the serial numbers on ANY money …? That SUCKED until you realize it was easier to save than to update that stupid list with the “change”.
Omg!😮 I seriously thought I was the only person that had that exact dream! I'm dead ass , I hate it. I dunno why it's aperetnly so important to me that I dream of it a ton of times but I did 😂
You guys are not alone for real, I've had the same dream for years, sometimes it's where my locker actually is/was and sometimes the combination..haha crazy
I'm 58 and I still have that dream of forgetting my combination from Jr. & high-school. Also dream of forgetting which class I'm supposed to attend to and what time. Weird stuff about dreams. 🤔
Thats why you write the combonation on your locker amd keep only school work in it. Though im sure there are people who would srill school books especially in college bc yiu can typiaclly sell them back to the uni bool store. Carry everything you dont want stollen with you.
Humm. The dude actually asked how we're still alive! We've got to come up with a response! Hey, don't look at me! I'm drinkin on an empty stomach! I'm in no condition to take on a millennial! But something probably aught to be done! Little help... any ideas?
I figured this out when I was bored in Jr high school band. I got the lock off the locker and remembered the combo til this day. I still have the lock.
@@tgj42495 Recruits get to have their phones now. I’m not joking. When I was in, we only got to use a pay phone on Sundays and the D.S. would lays hand on you. They can’t do that now. They can’t even swear at them.
I figured this out in 7th grade, when I got my first locker. They told everyone at the beginning of the year that if they forgot their combos, they would have to go the whole year without a locker. What they didn't tell us was how ancient the locks were, and they only sporadically worked. So most of us learned how to fight with it until it opened. I was 12, so it really shocked me at how easy it was to open someone else's lock for them without knowing the combo.
When i was in highschool one of my buddies came to school with a cigarette pack full of joints. He was trying to sell some on the bus and i guess someone ratted on him. We were in a construction class so we had our own locker room. The principal came and pulled him out of class and our teacher went with him. I told my other buddy what was happening so we went and lil homie to a brick hammer and tried to break the lock for a good 5 mins while i was the lookout. Dude with the joints ended up getting expelled bcuz we couldnt break the lock
this is actually how thieves would break into old fashion safes back in the day. combination locks are easy to get past as long as you know what you doing and what you are looking for as well as the model.
I've got four combination locks in my toolbox that I've found here and there. I've managed to shim each one open and figure the combination. This would be a lot easier to open.
Used to make little aluminum sliders from old cans that folded and slide into the mechanism and pushed it open honestly i was a bad kid lol i went into so many lockers
My grandma taught me how to open combination locks by just listening when I was little. It came in handy in highschool as I charged ppl in school to open there lockers when they forgot their combination code.😢
Jeez, about 33 years ago I freaked out a whole squad bay when I helped a buddy (with his permission and supervision) who had forgotten his combination. Luckily, I had a stellar reputation (at the time) so the freak out was of short duration.
Can confirm this also works for older spinning dial code locks. Spin the dials from left to right while pulling them away from each other and when you have the right number the lock should pop a tiny bit because one tooth on the key has fallen through the plate but the rest have not yet so it will open by the smallest amount. Also as each number drops into place under tension it should be very had to keep spinning it move on to the next number and repeat note: you only need to keep tension as you find the number, you want to put pressure on the unknown numbers sometimes putting pressure on a disk plate will make the previous plate really loose and spin easily, as long you you are confident you already have it won't matter. Also look into an open lock and spin to get more understanding. I put half the lock in and spun it closed and this is how I figured all this out at school, before having internet on your phone was normal
in basic training, drill sergeant found an unlocked locker and decided to take all the locks off, connect them all into one giant ball and left it in the middle of the barracks. Took a very long time to take it back apart. lol
Haha I remember figuring out how to do this on my own in middle school after looking at a few diagrams and from what I'd seen in spy/action movies. A little while later, after I'd gotten over my utter shock at how poorly these locks were constructed, I managed to "pick" a few locks off of my gym locker after some other kid locked a mangled abomination of (rightfully) orphaned combination masterlocks to it. Had totally forgotten about that memory until just now, thanks for that!
@@EXITLlFE ENTERDEATH, haven’t tried yet, because I forgot where I put all these locks. When I do find them, and try this technique, I’ll forget to update this post.
I used to do this in school 20 years ago. I never told anyone how I did it. They acted like it was sorcery, lol In reality my Dad taught me so I could have some fun with people.
They're so much easier to open now than they were 30 years ago. There used to be dummy catches that would give a false positive - seven, actually - but you could discover which were the false ones by using a process of elimination and still deduce the correct combination. The process used to take about two minutes. The new model can be opened in 15 seconds.
So, after the first time, you weren’t smart enough to get a new one? You expect me to believe you did this EVERY time you went into your locker? I honestly want to know, why did you bother making that up? What did you get out of it?
@@yourmommashouse had to use school supplied locks i lost my combo card and I'm also low vision Also only used my locker when i had to because it was far from my classes
Not sure on newer safes, actually using a stethoscope, sensitizing your fingertips you can open a safe, Tip use the smaller aperture on the scope, the side used on infants... I have been successful 60% of the time....only for fun of course...😜
I remember in middle school I did this every day with my locker. Mostly because I stopped caring what the combo since this was more fun but it started as me forgetting the combo.
I've done this a couple of years ago. I found the cheaper ones harder, the disks/locking mechanism/stuff was sloppy and harder to get a feel for it. Master locks were easiest!
