How To Open Bike Lock Without Combination - Advanced Lesson

I show how to find the combination and unlock a bicycle cable lock. This can be useful if you have lost the combination, or maybe you have bought a used bike that came with a lock and chain and no combination. Cheap locks are very easy to unlock. But a good quality lock is much harder to crack. The lock in the video is a Master Lock.

This totally works!!! I was wrestling with my lock looking at all the videos that show how to crack the old style locks. For the newer ones that are described in this video, you must use this method.

RJ---you are the Houdini of cable combo locks! Thanks for the lessons.

Great video, just did this on a nice beefy lock that came on a used bike I bought. Took about 15 minutes and used my workbench vice to hold the right side of the lock.

I’ve never used this technique - I’ve used two others. Will try this next time I get a new lock!
Thank you!

[IckTr]

Thank you bro! Because of you i got me and my little brother a brand new BMX bike!

I forgot the combination after not touching my bike for months. This worked perfectly thank you!

Thank you much for making this video! I bought a bike from Value Village back in 2014 and it had a chain combination lock locked on the frame (it wasn't in the way or anything but it was purple and rattled which was annoying). I found your previous video and got the lock open and memorized the combination. Then winter came (Canadian winter lol) so the bike sat in my apartment, unused for over 6 months....and I forgot the combo 😂 Thanks to *this* video, I got the sucker open again and I'm sooo glad

Buddy you're making my Life in the Corona Times better... Thanks!

I bought a lock 10 minutes ago and managed to lock myself out... I didn’t align the numbers where I thought I did. Thank you for saving me another $35!

[gordoncorlette]

RJ thanks. I forgot my combo, until watching you videos. Saved me from buying a new one!

Just accidentally found this video. Great job decoding the bike lock with false gates. I'm a lockpicker (locksport hobbyist) and love combination locks. You did a great job explaining the combinatoric method. Have you tried figuring out if the gate is the right one by moving the wheel left and right while pulling on the cable? The false gates normally show less play. Anyhow, great work :-)

[gabrieliriarte]

if pushing for pressure doesn;t help you find push points, try pulling for pressure. 2/3 (3rd had 2) of the 4 I found. Then I only had to check 20 permutations and boom. Good video. Thanks! No, I'm not a thief. I left the country for a year and forgot the code for the bike lock I have for my spare bike. Thanks man!

[vickycox]

I actually think I love you. I've been feeling so low as I have had brain cancer now for just over 3 years and I forget lots of things daily. I spend my life looking for things I have lost these days but when I got the first 2 numbers I remembered what the combo was!

[jaydee]

Can we try 0 through 9 on the fourth wheel if the first 3 dials are correct?

[cup_and_cone]

Most those MasterLocks aren't shielded, so you could use a feeler to reach between and feel the gates.

[myutube]

I found this bike cable lock and I was shocked that within 3-4 minutes I was able to open it with your video. Thanks. I guess that I am still shocked that it worked that quickly.

Nice pick, I would be like 9-0-2 -7 then 9-0--2 ... bolt cutter

[dinosaur]

This flippen works! I didn't even need to write anything down. Just felt the catches. Thanks

[annemaysirois]

You're my hero!!! I was gonna ditch an expensive TopLock and your trick worked!!

[grahamlane]

True words about the bolt croppers, in many towns they are increasingly hard to purchase, tool shops rare so as to effect diversity and increase price & in the UK 2 big tool suppliers pretty much insist on having your details for each purchase, makes things damned slow, often annoying and always intrusive if you just want to pop in for a 10m roll of p80 sandpaper a tube of bathroom sealant & a cheap flat screwdriver!, as always a great & enjoyable video ty.
