Hey everyone, brand new to the site and fairly new to picking. Picked up lock picking as a tool to assist in everyday issues of the job (Army). Someone is constantly losing keys and for some reason that's the only time the bolt cutters are missing, lol. Anyways, I have improved my abilities so much from reading the posts, outstanding site, incredibly helpful.

Hi!
Always been interesting in lockpicking. Probably because my father had a huge safe and I always wanted to open it.
Several years ago I nearly took a correspondence course for locksmithing but chose something else. I really wish I had taken the locksmithing course instead.
I'll be trying to learn all I can here.

Names mike, Have been a locksmith for a few years now. Recently got into the locksport community in 2008. Usually goto keypicking but LP101 has been reputable as of late so i think i may stick around here for a while.

Just saying "hi" to everyone.

To be honest, I have no interest in lock picking. But I am interested in finding out which are the best locks for my doors, so I thought I would sign up so I can ask some questions.

Cheers!

Hi Folks, I have just acquired a key safe with a Manifoil MK IV combination lock. The door is open, but the combination is not known. I do have the special combination change key.
I can't remove the back cover of the lock (I think it can only be removed if the lock is open.)
From the key hole at the back, I've worked out what the last digit is, but the top disk obscures the lower disks.

Any advice on how I can determine the old combination?

Many thanks
Amania
