I cracked a master combo lock!

[herroldj]

i was cleaning my garage and found my old combo lock, i had no bloody idea what the combo could be, so i searched the net. Stumbling across an article that the pre 2000 combo locks 3rd combo could be found by holding the shackle and turning the dial, discovered 2 was the final combo, and using math found the 100 possible combos.

the 26th combo worked, this is exciting!

And it only takes about 10 seconds to open a lock with them

But you do get a whole different feeling when you crack a combo lock, compared to shimming and picking.

i couldn't seem to shim it, but 10 seconds sure beats 20 minutes. I'll look for a shim template to see if mine is wrong

Im not bad at shimming but i am prone to getting cut so i dont do it alot , only if I am showing someone how to or something but thats not very often.

[herroldj]
