Jason, on those pull the shackle with the button pressed move the wheels, the right number will make the wheel go slack and the button move in a bit more.
The luggage locks and larger padlocks with the 3 or 4 numbers on the side are a lot easier to find the combination.
It has a hole on the side near the bottom that looks like a sort of key hole about 1/4 inch tall round at top and narrow at the bottom with a flat spot at the very bottom.
I'm trying to open a brass Master lock of the sesame type (4 wheels) with a sesame decoder, but as i roll the wheels, I don't feel any difference. Am I missing something technique wise?
I was looking at that site yesterday and attempted to discover the combo using a piece of coca-cola shrapnel (nah, it was nicely cut)... but to no avail. Does anyone have experience with Master Lock 175s?
If any of you have seen the movie "Lock Picking for the New Millenium" he demonstrates that method but refers to it as the old method the other method he refers to as the new method involves inserting a normal lifter pick/short hook above the second dial an prying something sideways toward the third dial if I remember correctly.
I sort of stumbled upon the combination. I had been pushing in on the shackel to turn the numbers since that is the only way they will turn, and then once in a while I would pull out on the shackel and it opened. I think most people are lazy though when it comes to setting their own combination on a lock and the first number is usually set at zero. I have found that to be the case at Home Depot in the tool section and on some other locks.
