(picking 690) French 'Casino' combination lock decoded - a long way

[RASAllusion]

I think this is a very informative decode process, and I found it to be beneficial, informative and quite helpful to see you attack it from multiple directions as you talked yourself logically through it. Thanks for sharing it as it is.

Well done my friend - it's always difficult to do an out of the package decoding where the lock isn't as we expect ... that and "fat fingers" makes it a challenge! ... so you did well! :D From watching on my couch, it looks as though your lock has two gates separated by a distance of 2, and another gate on the other side of the lock separated by a distance of 4 from the other two gates, so eg on the 4th wheel on the top numbers I saw gates: 1, 3, 7 where 1+2=3, 3+4=7, 7+4=1... (so X+2=Y, Y+4=Z, Z+4=X). For the 3rd wheel, I saw gates: 0, 2, 6 etc. It looks like the true gate might be on the other side of the two close gates (and if so, you wouldn't need to test the play of the gates). I haven't seen a lock like that before. I know it's difficult to divide 10 numbers in symmetrically spaced gates (and I've seen other locks do every 2nd, eg 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and others do groups of couples, eg 0, 2, 6, 8 but I haven't seen this pattern before).

Hello. I have started watching your videos. I have never seen this. This a good one on how to decode a combination lock. I will have to remember how you were able to feel for the varying gate combinations. You’ll have to make more of these. This is a skill that I would like to learn. Take care.

That was amazing, you are brilliant at combination locks!🔐

Thanks for working through and posting the open.

Super job decoding . Tough little booger huh! But you got it. 👍👍👍👍🧡

[PocketWomen]

Excellent decoding, I wonder if it was made more difficult because of the crunching wheels you mentioned at the start, cheers

While stuck at home because of the Corona virus I tried to pick combination locks that my friends have, one of those is a casino lock and I struggled much with it, I know your pain except I couldn't pick it yet haha I'll try again tomorrow

That was unexpectedly hard but very nice My Friend

those locks look the same and were probably from the same factory but they are different, very interesting

I saw the right numbers on the screen and was yelling to you, but apparently you couldn't hear me.

Hi potty,
immer wieder schøn, ihnen zusehen zu kønnen.
Ich versuche das auch immer. Aber ich bin mir immer sehr unsicher gewesen zu verændern die Code Number. Hatte Angst dass ich den Code nicht knakken kann.
Hab einen Trick.
Ich verændere die Nummer unter einem Tuch und filme das mit dem Mobilphon. Somit habe ich die neue Code gesichert.
Dann versuche ich zu decodieren.
Viele Gruesse vom Polarkreis 🇳🇴

Sorry fuer mein schlechtes Deutsch.
