Re: How to crack a master lock
#2If you're even mildly handy with a lockpick, the tiny little keyway on the back of the lock is easy pickins. Even the most ham-fisted of raking techniques should open the lock inside of fifteen seconds. Use it for good, not evil! (Or at least make it fun evil.)

#3Very fascinating and a good thing to keep in mind if I ever forget my combination lock number, thought that's unlikely. The only thing you would use this for is breaking into other people's locks. ;)

#4I've seen several of these now, but I like the way the information is presented here, usually its just a straight block of text, which is hard to read.

Not necessarily. It would take ~10-15 minutes of straight work to get this (more for your first few tries), so you can't really open a lock in a public place this way. On the other hand, it means you can pick up locks that the owner doesn't know the code to, and make them usable again by "recovering" the code.

Well, the information has been out there for more than a decade, but this is a really cool way to represent the process. There are also a lot of faster ways to get past a $5 Master combination lock, so this method is really only useful if you want to deduce the combination of a lock -- for instance, if you found one on the side of the road, or you cared about not only opening it, but being able to open it in the future without leaving an obvious sign of breach such as would occur using bolt cutters or a hacksaw.

I mostly submitted because I liked the infographic aspect of it, not so much the information. That, as you say, has been around for a while.

#8I just use a shim.

#9If you are at all handy with a lockpick, you can pick the little keyway on the back of the Master combo lock in about fifteen seconds with even the most brutish of raking techniques.

I was not trying to downplay the submit, I was saying the infographic was an interesting way to display, it, one I hadn't seen before.
