Long, long ago we covered a method to crack a Master lock in about 30 minutes or less. Here’s a revival of the same method but now the instructions to retrieve the combination are in info-graphic format created by [Mark Edward Campos].
If you didn’t get to try this the first time around, here’s how it works: A combination of a physical vulnerability, math, and brute force is used. First, the final number of the code can be obtained by pulling up on the latch while the dial is rotated. Because of the way the lock is built the correct number can be extrapolated using this trick. Secondly, a table of all possible first and second number combinations has been calculated for you. Third, it’s your job to brute force the correct table of possibilities which includes only about one hundred combinations.
We’re not really into felony theft and hopefully you’re not either. But, we have a nasty habit of needing to use a combination lock that’s been in a drawer for a few years and having no idea of what the correct code might be.

MIT lock picking guide
Awesome, let us know how it goes. What techniques are you thinking of using?
-focus
-relax
-practice feeling the pins slip into place
-feel cool when you do it right
thats pretty tough for a beginner
you think they keep money and other good stuff with locks that are easily picked?
when your starting out work with interior building doors (doors with locks inside a building) , more than likely these have no security pins
once you have a feel for picking locks and understand how tedious it can be at times, purchase a lock with security pints, or just steal one and practice on it at home. locks with security pins are typically placed on exterior doors (entrances inside a building) , change boxes, etc...stuff that has value .
these kinds of locks can be really tricky at times if you know anything about the diversity of security pins, i mean at that point you might as well use destructive means to get the job done quicker.
however its a great skill to learn by all means, useful in ops

Where to buy picks

Security pins are used to make locks more resistant to picking. When a key is inserted into a lock and the pins are raised as one, security pins will behave as a normal driver. When there is tension on the plug and pins are not raised in unison, a security pin becomes trapped in the plug at the shear line of the lock.
The plug moves slightly but the lock won't open. This is called a false set.
When a false set is detected, different methods must be used to defeat the security pin.
There are 3 major types of security pins. Spool, mushroom and serrated pins, all of which behave differently but accomplish the same thing. Generally, you need to ease tension slightly and then jiggle the pin.
Youtube can probably explain this better than I can.

I've found Lockpicking101 EXTREMELY helpful, however if you join you CANNOT allude to illegal activity.
Don't make the newbie mistakes I made. When you order your picks make sure to order a cylinder shim & plug follower(s). I didn't order either with my picks so I went to a locksmith shop in town & they wouldn't sell me either b/c it is illegal in my state to buy lockpicking supplies if you are not certified/a professional. A 1/2 inch piece of copper coupling can be used a plug follower as can many random items. For those that do not know what copper coupling is- it's a piece of metal you can find it in home improvement stores in the aisle with all the copper pipes.
I've been the only one posting in this thread for the past half year. We need more lock enthusiasts here. :mad: I hope you decide to stick around, shady.
*Reading time.*
I pick, although only for profit. So, hey man. :cool:
Smash a window? You can use masking tape so it doesn't break into a gazillion pieces/doesn't make as much noise. For residential homes, the back sliding glass door is a weak point.
When dealing with glass, a glass cutter could add some stealth. Also on topic of residential homes, external doors lack security pins in the lock 9 times out of 10. This makes for easy picking.
Edit, oops forgot explaination., microwaved honey is hot, glass is cold, paper is well paper, and come to think of it a warning, watch out for wasps, and police, on top of all the normal reasons to watch out for police im not sure how id explain those seemingly out of place items even in a burglars kit, hypothetical mr pig investigating one of my hypothetical burglar kits " hmm gloves lockpicks check, cordless drill ok, hatchet thing with crowbar hook on the back? what the hell?, pocket blowtorch fine ok not the wierdest thing ive seen, led light yay something more normal, vaseline wtf VASELINE THIS IS GETTING CREEPY, ? honey? wait its still hot... umm err inspector could you come over here a sec and look at this!"
Locksport is great hobby. You challenge your self to figure stuff out. Good on the brain. It's also a cheap hobby. I posted all thse links about repinning locks b/c you don't necessarily need to go out & buy a ton of different locks. You can take pins out & once you master picking with what's in there, you can add more pins. If you have a cylinder shim & plug followers (or items that can suffice as plug followers) you can get locks for free or very cheap at random places such as thrift stores & repin them.
I don't get to mess around with the insides of locks very often. The majority of the ones that I come across are laminated locks.
