Combination lock of four wheels/dials with numbers 0-9

Postby Mr Shankly » 12 Aug 2006 11:47

Hello,

I have opened many of these combination locks that have wheels, containing numbers 0-9 on them and have always used the method of pulling the shackle and feeling for loose spots. However, I'm stuck on this one lock and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the ''sesame decoder'' method is and give me any more information on opening these combination locks.

Thank you very much, in advance.

With a sesae decoder, you're inserting a falt shim between the wheels and the shell body, then manipulating the wheels to find indentations. Once the are all alinged, you should be able to open the lock.

May I suggest, 'UWSDWF' that you try decreasing the sarcasm next time a new member asks a question on this site.

[sarcasm]
SIR YES SIR!
[/sarcasm]

I do apologize, I was in a bit of a mood.
But at the same time what's the difference from somebody else searching and finding the answer and then posting it, then you searching and finding the answer and then not make an unnessicary post?

[sarcasm]
But hey if I have to follow your warning, I guess I will.

Apology accepted,

However, I'm pretty sure that people who reply to questions, like mine, do not search for my answer and then post it but instead know this information from their own knowledge and would like to help. Maybe you should try taking a leaf out of their book either way.
