Marvellous video, I've been decoding Combination locks for a while now and I've yet to see a lock with different a layout of false gates in each wheel until today, very devious. Thank you for making me aware of this variation of combination lock.

Agree with dopeymark's comment, this video was a much better explanation and demonstration of the false gate which made it much clearer how to open the lock. Thanks for this.

great video ! i never cared much for combo locks, but now that i want to become a locksmith i should pay more attention to these and give them a chance :P thank you!

Nice reversing. Trying to make the gates less predictable to thwart a potential attacker is an interesting idea, yet we know the problem with secrets. :) As you have shown, once the secret is out the security is essentially gone. Thanks for going above and beyond with the detail. Much appreciated.

Best video. About to try it out on my Christmas present (a lock my father can't remember the combination for 😂)

[bobbykeyz]

I applied this theory to my Daughter in-law luggage lock 3 wheel unknown combination and locked,    first attempt,   binder was middle wheel, moved to the next binder wheel to the right, moved to the 3rd wheel next to the shank started to turn it and the lock popped open   proven your method works video was well thought out,   Thank you

[TallanPick]

Great explanation my friend, the more complete I've heard, the diferent ways to detect a false gate are really interesting. I really enjoy this vid buddy, just a tutorial! Thank you very much for sharing ;-)))
Cheers and happy decoding!

[firstairbender]

This was great, thanks. I finally cracked a lock with false gates or false ramblers. Thank you

[darrendavenport]

very clear instructions for decoding this lock. however i have a pig of one which has no resistance when i spin the wheels. lock noob told me to check this out from you which iv found very helpful sir. i shall go back and try i think its a great use of the carabina as pulling on the shackle for some time can be hard on the hands. i hope my old unvranded combo plays ball with me now iv seen this i fuĺly understand its just not giving me any resistance on any of the wheels maybe due to age and use im not sure. i even though if i used a small blade like pick to put under the wheel as a sort of shim that would give me more resistance on the wheel but so far no good. i guess we all have just one lock that on paper should be easy but it must be my lack of talent. great vid loved it as always sir you are a personal hero of mine with lock noob im learning so much and am going through both of your back vids to pick up more skills thankyou so very much sir 😁

[PickME]

Thank you for another excellent informational video!!

[cheescake]

thanks for the great video. i really learnt a lot

[MonkeyLockpicks]

Great video! I'm going to test this method right now. Thanks for sharing!

[pleasedonthurtme]

I tried this and the lock will bind when I turn it one direction but not the other, do you have any idea on what to do?

[robertclark]

Very interesting and helpful. Thank you.

[SmokeyMcPot]

What do you do when all of them bind under tension?
