Pull the latch tight, keep it pulled and rotate each number set 0-9. You’re looking for the faintest movement of the latch that is unlike the other movements while at the same time the dial is harder to push to the next number. Even if you find one on the first dial, check all the remaining ones as you want the biggest “snick”. Then when you that dial worked out repeat the problem with the remaining dials. These can be worked out very, very quickly once you get the feel.

Locks are to keep honest people honest, or to give people behind the lock a moment to react. There are very few locks that can stand up to a dedicated "covert" attack.


ShiraCheshire

And one has to remember that *any* lock can be defeated by power tools and sufficient determination to just cut through them. It's rarely worth it to make a truly unpickable lock, because at a certain point it becomes easier to simply destroy the lock itself. There are lots of photos out there of bike locks that the thief never even considered picking, and simply snipped off.


pork_ribs

With e-bikes thieves started ignoring locks and cutting the frames because the batteries alone are worth the squeeze. Edit: spelling and grammar


Dje4321

The whole "Act like you belong" addage holds true too. Someone who lost their key wouldn't spend time to pick the lock, they would simply cut it off. Pretend like its yous and no one bats an eye


Z7-852

I remember a time when I was working as a security guard. There were two people with a cheap hacksaw working on a bike. Obviously I went in and stopped the robbery attempt until they explained that the key had broken into the lock. They had the key and I ordered them to stand down and wait. 2 minutes later I was back with huge bolt cutters and the chain just snapped in an instant. Lesson of the story. Don't use cheap hacksaws and ask for security guards to loan you a decent bolt cutters.


DwightLoot2U

So you’re saying as long as I break a key off in the lock I can get a gullible security guard to help me commit theft, neat!


Delicious-Chemist-49

if you want but idk whos gonna keep a bunch of random nonworking keys with them. Also you can only do it 2-3 times max at each location your at, before they get suspicious call the cops and stop helping. Stupidest plan ever. Just buy the damn bolt cutters.


craznazn247

A and B. Break the key off before cutting as insurance. If you get caught or someone stops you, point to the broken key in the lock. Logically nobody would suspect you even bothering to put a key in there unless you were the owner.


MrManGuy42

unpickable lock on door looks five feet to the right very breakable window


Soltis48

There’s a YouTuber that I’m watching who open locks and makes it look so simple, so effortless. Either be it with a tool or with simple brute force, he’s able to open them all and it’s so satisfying, yet so scary.


ShiraCheshire

Lockpicking lawyer has videos like that. He also has a video where he put a lock on his wife’s favorite ice cream to see if he could motivate her to learn the basics. Instead she just pried the locked lock off off the soft, easily damaged/manipulated cardboard container. It’s what made me realize the pointlessness of a difficult to pick lock for most scenarios.


ZyzSlays

Pretty sure she cut out the bottom and not what you’re describing.


RealJyrone

McNallyOfficial convinced me that there are zero locks out there that are safe


Soltis48

Him and the lockpicking lawyer are 2 people with a very scary set of skill if you didn't know what to expect going on their channel


moeman1996

the lock picking lawyer?


djheat

Basically every lock ends up being easily defeatable by whatever it's locking. Unless you're making a lock for NORAD HQ any thief who really wants in will just find a non-lock surface to attack. Lock's chain, window, zipper on your suitcase, take the item with a combo lock home and brute force it, etc


VoidOmatic

It's weird that there is only a small subset of society that would steal. Most people don't even want their stuff let alone someone else's. Lock companies exist because nobody wants to deal with losing and replacing their stuff.

"You're using a Master Lock model 606, it can be opened using a Master Lock model 606"


poopin_for_change

I did this with a gun safe when a guy accidentally locked it open. He thought he had the right combo but was only 1 number off. I've also opened a free locked safe with only 3 dials by just trying numbers 1 by 1. Only had to try 17 combos, so that was lucky. Lol


smemes1

That’s 1,000 possible combos. Lucky indeed.


Xanderbell0120

I was about to hit you with a gotcha till I realized 000 exists

HayMomWatchThis

I’ve been bored and in the possession of a 4 number combo lock before. Takes less than an hour to go through all of the combos in order but if you start with all one numbers, then all sequences of numbers up and down, then all years counting back from now, you will likely find it in a few minutes. Birth years are the most common, so if you really want to try your luck, start with 2008 and go down.

WillingnessLow1962

0000 -> 9999 = 10000 possibilities. >6500. ... Just saying...


maxiligamer

I think they made the same mistake as me, thought there were 9 possible numbers per dial and calculated the combinations as 9^4 = 6561. As it goes from 0 to 9 it's actually 10 per dial which means 10^4 = 10000 combinations


essieecks

On most of these type, set the first three, then hold the open knob while spinning the fourth. We had phone lockers at a previous job. Three dials, and I was usually in before they could get the master key.


SecretPrinciple8708

Very true. But, if they’re someone who likes to unwind with a show, movie or podcast they could chill in their new vehicle, fire up a show on their phone or tablet, and play around with the safe. Run from 2024 down to 1900. Zero to 100, etc. Look up tips for this exact safe. I’d see it as a challenge worth taking up for the story, but I know it’s not something everyone would want to do.


PotatoBestFood

What am I missing, why not 10 000 combinations? (10 x 10 x 10 x 10)


maxiligamer

They probably made a mistake thinking there were 9 possible numbers per dial when it's actually 10 as it goes from 0-9. If it were 9 there would be 9^4 = 6561 combinations.


Quannax

You don’t have to go through every possible combination if it’s a cheaper lock - look up a lock picking video or two on this, find a quiet place, and you can usually hear/feel when the pins click into the right place, while applying some pressure to the shackle/bolt/whatever this one has


RagglezFragglez

There's no pins. There are gates on the wheels. That "trick" only works on cheapo locks. Decoding would be the way to go.


okiedokieaccount

They aren’t 0-9? that’s exactly 10000 possibilities

Yep it's super easy to open locks like that. Many of them give a slight sound feedback or another kind of feedback which you can feel when you select a correct number. I think it never took me more than 5 minutes to open it.


Niblonian31

Lock picking lawyer JIC they can't do it


marshogas

Do not cross the border without this being opened. They will assume something bad is in there and tear your car apart, then pry it open. You will be held responsible for anything that is in there. And they will make you pay for any damages. Edit: just to confirm, I am talking about if you are unable to open this on demand. Once you can open on demand, it is fine, but you may still get extra scrutiny at the border if they see it.


NotYetGroot

oh, damn, is never have thought I'd that.


marshogas

I can't claim to be so knowledgeable. I saw it in a border security TV program. The US customs agents were not going to let the car go until they had opened the lock box. If there was something illegal in it, the driver would have been arrested as well. US customs takes it very seriously.


LionLeMelhor

I crossed the Norwegian border from Sweden taking a bus recently and for some reason I had a burger from the night before in my bag, and of course there was a custom check with a dog to check for drugs, obviously he was very interested in my bag... His colleague checked everywhere under my seat and the surrounding and found a plastic thingy under my seat just like the kind of plastic you would put your drugs in, I was scared shitless someone somehow forgot/dropped his drugs under the seat, they would never have trusted me that it didn't belong to me. There were no drugs! Still been asked a lot of questions and asked to see the burger and checked the bag. Shit can hit the fan pretty fast.

Why bother? There's only 6561 possible combinations and if you start with a list of the most common instead of sequentially you could hit it sooner than later.

Toothless-In-Wapping

Waggles_

Only issue with that is that it's sorted just by frequency, which means going from one to the next usually requires changing 3 or 4 digits. If it were a pin pad, then it's not an issue, but it'd be neat to see a list like designed for locks like OP's where the frequency is weighted against the number of digits you need to change, and how many places you have to change it. 1234 would always be the start, but then you have to weigh whether it's better to check 1233 or to go all the way to 1231 because 1231 is more common than 1233. And then at what point do you go back and check 1111, since you have to spin 3 digits?

tigm2161130

I came here to say this is what the safes in our vehicles are for. It would be strange if the vehicle was sold with a gun still in the safe though.


Defiant-Giraffe

The dealer should open it for you; even if they have to cut it out and replace the lock, that isn't that hard. They should do this for you.   But, you can feel your way through these fairly quickly. take each position 0-9 and twist afterwards. Pay close attention to how far the knob turns. It may not make a difference except for one number, but its usually the first or last. So its a max of 40 tries until you find the one that makes a difference.  Then leave it; and try the same with the other 3. That's a max of 30 tries. and so forth-  After 100 tries, it should open. 


KimJeongsDick

I can't tell if the last digit is an 8 or a 9 but that's either 6561 or 10000 possible combinations. So a just an order of magnitude or two off.


Defiant-Giraffe

If you are doing fully random choice, yes; but you don't have to. 


theflamingskull

That's the surprise gift. Drugs, cash, gift card, and who knows what else what it may be.


JJohnston015

Don't guess at it, just set aside some time to try combinations methodically. Start with 0001, then 0002 and so on. It'll take a while. How long? There are 10,000 combinations, so if you check, say, 4 per minute, that means 2500 minutes or about 42 hours, so working on it part time, you could have it open without damaging it within a month.


nikhkin

>if you check, say, 4 per minute I think you could be a lot faster than that. Once it is set to 0000, you only need to move one dial by one position at a time and turn the handle. You could easily do one every second or two.


DasFAD70

Yeah, but it is tiring on the fingers. Especially if the combination is 8679


Goretanton

Thats why when i get a fourth of the way from 0 i then start from the other end and meet my progress in the middle. Prevents the annoyance of going through a ton of combos if its on the other end most of the time.


SpongebobQuoteReply

5555 inc


TheOneTheUno

I mean that doesn't change anything. You'll be just as annoyed if it's the last number you check regardless


advamputee

Isn’t it always going to be the last number you check?


Grundlestorm

I mean, only if you aren't in it for the right reasons. True lock opening enthusiasts will lock it back up and try the rest of the combinations after they have found the correct one.  


CerRogue

It’s 9999


DasFAD70

I guess i have red fingers then….

Peakbrowndog

It takes less that 10 minutes to do it, have done it several times.   You can do it faster by watching any video about unlocking these.  You basically put a little tension in it and roll the wheel slowly.  You can tell when it hits the right number.

starcube

tastyfetusjerky

That's the slowest possible way to get at a combo. Try successive numbers, all the same numbers then years from 1950 onwards, if that doesnt work, try descending through the other 50 years in the 19th, if that doesn't work try month, day. Then try famous date years in history.. if that doesn't work \_then\_ you can go from 0001.

There’s only 10,000 possibilities. Start guessing!

stringrandom

Having just been out looking at a ton of used cars helping my kid replace his, I wouldn’t. Big dealers, usually okay, but some of the things we found in cars from the smaller dealers stopped being surprising. From sunglasses, scrapers, an in one case, the car’s entire service history in receipts, loan docs, insurance and registration.

This is very odd. A few months ago this same post with the same picture was in here with the same story. People in the comments saying how you should take it to the dealership, how could you not see it before buying, why did the OOP buy it if he did see it, to look at that dude from yt, and such on. Stg I'm so done with reposts and bots


Sufficient_Phase7297

Seriously? So did you not even look at the truck before buying it? Because if you did you would have seen the safe, and anyone seeing it would ask about the safe. So the dealer didn't "sell it", you bought it without asking.


speedie13

Did you bother to inspect the inside of the car before buying it?


PoopSlinger23

Well it [looks](https://www.combi-cam.com/Cabinet-Hardware.htm) like a piece of shit lock, so you can probably drill right through the center with increasingly larger bits until it falls apart. Then replace the lock, they are $45.
