Cracking Combination Locks  

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 !

"You are using a combination lock it can be opened by using a combination lock"

Thank you so much!! amazing method!, Love my new bike!

Well shit if I can remember all that, I might as well remember the combo 😂😂😂

So that’s how everyone kept getting their shit stolen in the school gym locker rooms 😂

Locks only keep honest people honest.

Cool. I'm gonna go borrow a bike now.

all the nightmares of forgetting my locker combination in high school over nothing 😂

I have watched so much Mcnalley I was fully prepared for him to pick up another identical lock and beat the combination out of this one.

Principal just busted out the bolt cutters 😅

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.

I feel like a OCEAN 11 STAR now!! Combo lock? NO PROBLEM🤝🏾🤷🏿🤣

I tried doing this on my son’s combo lock. On the first move the shackle slips a bit and jams on 35. But the actual correct first number is 15.

I woulda been a absolute menace if I knew this in highschool.

Like they say, locks keep honest people out.

Ive gotten so used to the other guy i honestly expected you to throw it violently at the ground or hit it with another lock

I’m going to learn this and have people pay me 50 cents to open one

Taking the neighbours bike to work tomorrow 😂

You solved that quick…almost like you knew the combination already.

Watching this guy's videos makes me feel like I have no locks on my doors in my house. I need to go lock shopping asap😅

Don’t forget the rubber gloves, very vital!

My locker at work has been locked for 6 years. Now I can finally get into it 😂

When the locker rooms are so loud and you can't hear the noises from the lock:

“today, i’ll be picking a spinning combination lock. to open it, i’ll be using a spinning combination lock”

Y'know, I woulda been a menace in school if I knew this

Helps when you know the combo in advance, but well played sir, well played!

This made highschool a lot more interesting back in the day

I feel like just buying a combination lock just to do this 😁

I used to walk down the halls in 6th grade doing that to random lockers LOL. That was 1988... Statute of limitations!

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.

Them gloves, gives it the real meaning of a thief at work… 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is a great video. When I steal bicycles, I usually use bolt cutters. And I always feel guilty about destroying the lock.

Save this video kids - if your locker search turns up something inappropriate, this is your alibi.

Gloves,... really. Nice touch

"I turned 21 in prison doing life without parole"...

I could have stolen hundreds of school books and gym shorts.

You just made a lot of happy Drill Sergeants and a lot of really pissed off trainees.

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

I’m terrible at lockpicking, but these are easy. I played with them so much as a kid I learned how to do these decently quick.

Boy it's lucky you were wearing gloves....otherwise the Coppas might get ya!

Was doing this back in the 1980s with our school lockers. Nice to know some things don't change 😂

No need to worry anymore everyone; Masterlock actually did something for once and updated their dial locks. They can no longer be decoded. (The new models)

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

Showed kids this in the 90s. Nobody's locker was safe😂 Our school forbade key locks. The following year, we could have key locks.

I remember getting in trouble for showing kids how to do this in middle school back in 88’

Public swimming pools got real quiet after this

Imagine how many people tried this then got mad when it didn't work

My mom is 75 yrs. old and a huge Shaquille fan! The funny thing is she is a fan because of his commercials and didn't know he played basketball because she never watched an NBA game!

No lockers in the planet fitness locker rooms are safe now.

hey you didn't just hit it, nice

My dad used to show off this skill when I was younger. Blew my mind lol

Haha I remember doing this in middle school 😂 felt like I was ocean 11

When I was a kid I caught a guy stealing my bike and ask him how you picked the lock. He showed me how by using the same method that was back in 1967

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.

Geez, I just thought my old combo lock. Thanks for the post👏👏👏

I opened up everyone’s lockers at work 😂

This might help in my recurring nightmare where I forgot my high school locker Combination 😂

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.

Defensive line coach in highschool was a pro at this.

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.

In high school, they would just hit it with a textbook!😂

That was my junior high school locker padlock from 1972. I think I still have it in my toolbox.

as a 10yo i once cracked a small executive safe using this method, just turning the dial as if i knew the numbers, when mom called me it already opened, didnt bother to look inside anymore, but right there i knew, i could do it again someday.

Ive been doing that one for years now. Also been opening masterlock locks with other masterlock keys too. Fun stuff for me.

ahhh the good ole school locker lock

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!! :)

Thats how jimmy lockpicking someone lockers

This is really interesting!

As a kid, I'd always forget what the combination was and this was my dad's and I'd figure it out every time

That's a great tip. Sometimes people try to give me locks they forgot the combo for

New fear unlocked

NOW I CAN STEAL PEOPLES CANDY IN THERE LOCKER 😂

you've shown me not to get one of these locks

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.

Cool 😎!!

😄👍🏿Good Stuff, Great Tips

Yeah that’s exactly how we’d break into lockers back in high school.

The one I use at the gym just needs a hard pull😂😂

I was shown this back in my highschool days in the late 80's. 😊

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.

Learned this back in high school in the early 70's

Thank you, I will open up my friends locker using this method tomorrow

if you ever wondered who broke into your locker in high school and stole your books when it was time to turn them in, it was this guy

This has freed me from the recurring nightmare I still have at 35 or not remembering my combo in HS.

I saved my school locker for a decade just waiting for this video cause I don't remember my own passcode 😂

Awesome job!!

Clockwise is turning right.

From my experience in school you just hit on some really hard and it opens

In the army they made us stop using these on our kickers because you can hit it with a boot hard and it will pop open.

*McNally joined the game*

This guy is a gym changing room menace

Used to do this back in HS. Works. If in a hurry, add tension and hit with another lock or something. Watch your fingers. 😂

I learned how to open these in, like, 6th grade. It wasn't long before I was charging people who forgot their combinations lol

Wow I remember reading about how to do this when I was in school. This demo makes me wanna go get a combo lock and defeat it.

I remember when I was a kid I learnt how to open school lockers like this and would get new kids to pay me to teach them how to open their lockers if they forgot the code. I was basically a locksmith 😂

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.

Back in high school in the early 70’s I discovered that an upward kick under the handle would open the locker with the lock still attached.

What fresh, new wizarding is this?!

I love these videos that do nothing but add to the moral decay of the world. Great job!

Damn. The schools better upgrade the locks soon.
