American Combination Locks

Postby Yabba1186 » 17 Feb 2005 16:56

Hey guys, just joined the boards. I've been looking all over the net and in my library for books on opening combination locks. I've read up on how one can decipher the combo of a Master lock, but I'm looking for a technique to do this on an American brand lock. I need some way to open one, and know the combination of it, so I guess picking would be out of the question.

Does anyone know any resource/site/technique I can use to get this thing open? I have a practice lock which I know the combination of already.

is it one with a keyway on the back...once i picked one of those. it wasnt tough but the pins were really small. im pretty sure you can change the combo once you turn the keyway in the back but am not sure. thats the way it worked with one of my locks i had. =) goodluck
