Picking Master Locks by The Jolly Roger
|
|
|
|
Have you ever tried to impress someone by picking one of those
|
|
Master combination locks and failed?
|
|
|
|
The Master lock company made their older combination locks with a
|
|
protection scheme. If you pull the handle too hard, the knob will
|
|
not turn. That was their biggest mistake.
|
|
|
|
The first number:
|
|
|
|
Get out any of the Master locks so you know what is going on.
|
|
While pulling on the clasp (part that springs open when you get
|
|
the combination right), turn the knob to the left until it will
|
|
not move any more, and add five to the number you reach. You now
|
|
have the first number of the combination.
|
|
|
|
The second number:
|
|
|
|
Spin the dial around a couple of times, then go to the first
|
|
number you got. Turn the dial to the right, bypassing the first
|
|
number once. When you have bypassed the first number, start
|
|
pulling on the clasp and turning the knob. The knob will
|
|
eventually fall into the groove and lock. While in the groove,
|
|
pull the clasp and turn the knob. If the knob is loose, go to the
|
|
next groove, if the knob is stiff, you have the second number of
|
|
the combination.
|
|
|
|
The third number:
|
|
|
|
After getting the second number, spin the dial, then enter the two
|
|
numbers. Slowly spin the dial to the right, and at each number,
|
|
pull on the clasp. The lock will eventually open if you did the
|
|
process right.
|
|
|
|
This method of opening Master locks only works on older models.
|
|
Someone informed Master of their mistake, and they employed a new
|
|
mechanism that is foolproof (for now).
