How to pick a word lock. Master 1535DWD

THE MANUFACTURER APPEARS TO HAVE FIXED THIS ON NEWER LOCKS.
I made this video a couple years ago. I was curious to see if they fixed this flaw so I purchased the same lock last month. The lock has the exact same part number. They seem to have fixed the easy picking "feature". I'm still trying to break in to it but it's definitely not the same as the old lock.

we got a lock from a thrift store because i like to solve them with no contexts, and this helped me to finally figure out the code. thank you

I have this same type of lock but from dudley and in early 2020, I had put a combo by accident somehow and couldnt open it. I tried picking it, figuring out the combo. Once I got so frustrated, I tried breaking the lock with a flat head screwdriver but no luck.

As I am typing this, Its October 8, 2023 and just 20 minutes ago I found this lock burried in a drawer full of clutter. I thought to myself why not give it a shot and I found this video Thank God. It took me 2 minutes and one try to open it and IT ACTUALLY WORKED.


I almost couldnt believe it because back then I accepted that I would never get this lock open after so many trys to figure out the combo and so much effort to try to break it but it took me 60 seconds to open it 3 years later and I kid you not my jaw dropped and I was stunned for 5 minutes. Im actually excited to use this lock again since I dont have to pay for a new one 😂. Thanks for the tip mate.

I was able to pick the lock while I was still watching the video. Ha ha. Thanks so much!! Found this lock in a pile of junk tools, and was hoping to use for an escape room

Thank you for this video. The good news: I forgot my code word & my 1535wd lock is now open. The bad news: I must immediately buy a more secure lock. Doing the steps in this video slowly I found out just how simple it can be to reopen this lock no matter what you formerly set it to. These locks aren't cheap. Price apparently isn't everything.

I just tried this on this lock that my 10yrld locked us out of our refrigerator with (don't ask), and it definitely didn't work. The bottom letter just kept spinning and never got tight like in this video. I guess I have the one and only well made Master Lock. Lol

Mine is for school but I forgot the code. This worked better than I could have ever expected. Thank you so much. You are a lifesaver

[KonfusedDude]

This helped me into get into one of my cases. Scary how easy. Thank you for this information

[OkBoomer-momk]

Thank you so much it worked. I found a old lock in my room and I forgot the code and I needed it for school thanks so much

[tylermustardloooser]

thanks man I've had this lock for 3 years because I forgot the combination, but I just picked it in 30 seconds

[Fisan]

Great video! I forgot the combo to my lock and this saved me so much time in getting the thing open

[FishStixy]

I had a tough time feeling for the tightness in the row that i was decoding, so what i did was spin each row until the rows above became stiff, worked like a charm!

[_lizziepooh]

I need to know how to reset the combination if the lock is locked open.

[Velvet-Sunshine.]

FYI, yes they're very easy to pick, but Any of these rotary wheel locks are pathetically easy to pick. You buy them only if you're going to use them around honest people. Because most people know how to pick them. But if you want a lock that has a lot of security to it and will actually protect your locker, what you want is to buy any of the rotary dial 3 digit combination locks commonly available on the market. These locks have been around for many years and they're really very very difficult to decode, but it can be done. The reason nobody can get into your locker using a rotary dial 3 digit combination lock is because it will take a thief that knows what he's doing a couple of hours to decode it and by then he'll probably get caught.

Thank you! Just bypassed my old lock that I used to have on my school gym locker when I was like 9

[DrummerWithTheKilt]

I have one I got from my late brother, but it's stuck open, not closed. Any idea how to figure out the code when it's already opened?

[demzersers]

can confirm, this trick works, just takes a lot of pressure, don't worry about taking a break from the pressure.

[alaskatom]

It worked 100% with my lock. I could definalty feel how hard it was to move the dials at the letter t and then t and then u and then i found the real code. I put the silver hook around my toe while doing it so that pressure was kept the whole time took about 3 minutes HIGHLY recommend thanks so much!

Glad im only using this to keep elderly people out of my stuff at my Long term care home as they wander alot and sometimes they wander off with the weirdest things. I also have a tendency to loose keys and waiting on maintenance to remove the lock is really annoying especially if I have been away and I locked up every single thing that is of importance like my laptop, tv remotes in my closet. When I lived at a youth shelter I always used a key lock and had it on my wheelchair with a bunch of random keys… a good way to keep people confused is to get your lock key remade as well and keep it on your keychain so it doesn’t say “master” or whatever brand your lock is.
The most annoying thing is now many school boards are making it mandatory to use Dudley locks which I have a hard time opening but thankfully Dudley has come up with a one number combination lock which is great for anyone who has difficulty getting conventional 3 number combination locks open. Now I don’t know how secure they are but they are better than nothing at all.

Nice little vid. I generally trust the negative reviews on Amazon more that the five star which seem to be given almost reflexively. Thanks for sharing mate.

[MarkMcCluney]

Mate, did you say grandson? You're stickin' it well, as we say here!
