- 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).
-
- The older models are from 1988-1990. The newer models are being
- cracked on as we speak..
