Lost Combination - Yale 150/40 Padlock Decoded

This one took a LOT of shackle tension to decode, I’m guessing it must have been used a lot.

Remember: only pick locks that are yours and that are not in use! Keep locksport legal!

I loved it when I used this technique on a much simpler lock in an escape room once. “Where was the combination?” “I dunno I just decoded the lock…”

Thanks. It worked. So many ways from so many people...don't work. You are the one.

I love listening to you pick locks. You get so excited when you hear a click.

[DeltaTimo]

I can really relate to these "Oh!" moments when setting.

kudos to this vlog! I decoded it! 🎉🎉 thank you! very helpful.❤

[garyanvil]

That was a really good example of how to pick that lock thank you for the information

they can be tricky to decode, when the internals are filled with dust and dirt. I use my interflon fine lube, that I also use for my ruko cylinders, to get the wheels to move more freely, when I have to decode them, It also helps the fence to fall into the gate.

So the Master lock came in handy after all…😂🔐

I'd love more decoding videos.

I only got into locks because I like intricate precision mechanics, I've still never successfully picked a lock (probably for lack of equipment) but I've decoded many. By trade, I'm a repairman, and I've got the authority to go through any lock in my way and replace it (except for utilities and stuff like that, police and banks..)

I was using that method to open bicycle locks 40 or so years ago.
As an adolescent, I thought it was funny to unlock all the bikes at a bike stand, then put all the locks back on different bikes.
Later on I discovered when the lock is open I could remove a c-clip and change the order of the combination wheels, or even exchange them with other locks of the same type.
Then I discovered kids (same age as i was) would pay me a dollar to unlock their bike and tell them the new they wised up and realised it was me that changed them to start with. After that others started playing with the locks and it wasn't long before a lot of people knew how to decode them easily, and ppl stopped using those locks and switched to a cable and padlock, then in another decade the U-bolt style locks came with tubular locks.

Thank you, different lock same technique, I locked myself out of my lock and I have been trying for 2 days, thanks

Anybody who's done this knows the satisfaction of the last 'click' and open

I've been trying to get mine to reset the combination on there and that's a regular 0000 and I'm not able to get it to taken set in combination when I put it into the right area have any advice for me?

[Leonslockpad]

Hi I know this isn't about combination locks, I was wondering if you have tried out or heard of a product that i saw in bump key UK, it's Yale lishi style lock decoder. If you have can you let me know what you think of it as I'm thinking of purchasing one which you can get in euro or rim lock style ??? And please can you tell me the difference between euro and rim locks? Hope to hear from you soon Phil

Thin shim stock or a feeler gauge trimmed to a thin point. Take that and slip it beside the number wheels. Turn each wheel until you feel the point drop into a groove. Line up all of the wheels this way, and advance each one by one number at the same time, and it will unlock - usually 180 degrees from where you found the notches.
