How to unlock a combination lock (no paper, no pens, no aluminum)

I show you how to unlock a combination lock without any tools.

There was a kid who forgot his combination and guess who looked like a legend.... not me it didn't work

Had a random padlock in the junk drawer, son needed one for gym class, this hack worked perfectly! Thanks for the easy instructions - saved me $$$

Someone locked one of these master locks on a desk at school. Did this first try and unlocked it after 2 years of it sitting there. Thanks pal! Got my good deed of the day!

[annandadesilva]

Deeply impressed! Thank you for explaining so very clearly. When my lock popped open I laughed in triumph and amazement!

First number, feel for the catch. This is the trickiest one.
Second number, dial will tighten, then suddenly be loose, that's second number.
Third number, keep upward pressure on the shackle, and turn dial slowly. When you reach third number, it will unlock.
This works for all locks that are Master Lock copies. Actual Master Locks are harder to pick.

Haha. I tried this over and over, and in a last ditch effort I just used your combo and it worked. Thanks man!

Thank you so much. It works perfectly on my lock!!!
For those who have troubles you need to make sure two things:
1. Your lock is the same brand as this video, which is HARDENED.
2. The most important part is here: after you got the first number, you have to go back and “pass the first number”, and then keep going until you get your second number. When you are going back, I realized that it always gets stuck before reaching the first number and passing it. So when it gets stuck you just need to loosen the top part a little bit to let it go through.
The same thing happens when you get your second and looking for your third. You have to let it go until it passed your second number then you start to look for your third.

Also sometimes you need to try few times that’s because you might not align the number accurately.

One weird thing is that I actually found I have two first number. Both “3, 21, 18” and “32, 21, 18” work on my lock...

After watching this youtube, in less than 5 minutes I unlocked a friends combination lock that she had forgotten the code. Thanks Marc, this really works!!

Was about to buy another one because I couldn’t open it. But this video saved me money.

Thank you. Opened a combo lock that secured a downrigger to my boat. I usually have quality key locks for that type of expensive equipment, but half ways through the season I lost one of the 4. I replaced it with a combo lock I found in a drawer and had a total brain fade trying to remember the combo. It only took a couple of times before I was able to unlock it. I could have used bolt cutters, but it is nice to have an extra lock for the future. I replaced the combo with another quality key lock.

I just bought one and can't open it even with the combination.

When searching for the first number, I started at zero, applied tension on the shackle, and turned right. I kept getting stuck at 28 (which 'should' denote the first number of the combination). However, after a few unsuccessful tries I realized that the first number may actually be beyond the first number that you get stuck on. My first number was actually past the first 'catch'; I spun past the first 'catch' and it was actually on my second catch.

Pro tip: if you are using the first 'catch' as your first number and are having trouble finding your subsequent numbers to open the lock, loosen tension on the shackle briefly, spin 1-2 digits right, reapply tension on the shackle and continue spinning right to find your second 'catch'. Use that as your first number and find the subsequent numbers as in the video

I’ve watched your video a long time ago and needed it again and finally found it. yours is by far the easiest way to find the #s. Nice job!

[sweetlifeoflily]

[FazTronic]

Thanks my friend, just follow your instruction and tried. For 7yrs I forgot the numbers, wala like a magic I finally unlock my combination padlock god bless you.

[adminjava]

Many thanks! I tried half a dozen other methods and yours worked the first time!

[FernandoLichtschein]

I suddenly remembered the combination! (thirty years later). I tried you method but in my lock the dial gets stuck in many places.

[patrickswift]

[dawoodia]

You are absolutely right, I had an old lock it has been locked for years and I forgot the combination, I opened it in a
bout 20 second, not just that, I know the combination now.
