All of the last flames if they could be called that were too pathetic to even bother with responding to. The only one I did respond to seemed to take technical issue with my post which of course was unspecific since everything in my post was factually dead on and correct for the application in question. Judging from the other stuff I have seen this guy post he has trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time and I doubt anybody is gonna disagree, if they do I hope he starts rambling about master and IC keying again, it serves you right. He has likely never even seen the inside of a meter enclosure and if he's a maintenance man I pray to god I never work in the building he maintains. Nuff said on him. That said flame if you feel the need. I don't care and will be simply ignoring 95% of you. You have been forwarned so you know I'm not just being rude. If you see a technical error that I will respond to, but you are unlikely to because unlike 99% of the people that post there BS defeats and exploits I know what Im talking about. One last thing I dont spell check because I plain and simple dont care. If you notice a spelling error feel free to point it out but I will of course be ignoring you.
New standard disclaimer:This information is posted for informational purposes only. Most of the stuff I post can easily be used for criminal puposes. That said if you choose to do so that is YOUR decision. If you are busted it is YOUR problem. I don't care and there is nothing to be done about it with regard to me anyway.
Rule of thumb:
Max possible jail sentence * what you figure your time is worth <= reward from successful crime.
If it's not forget it.
Dont do the crime if you can't do the time. Blake should have taken this shit to heart he said it so damn much. Probably not fair since he hasnt been convicted yet but I think he wacked her. Either way he damn well should have come up with a better story.
OK Ive read back a bit on here and it seems people are always asking for codes to be looked up on master combo locks. You don't need the combo to open these. If you want it I will give it to you. Figure $20 for my time to look it up. Thats better than most of the secret squirrels here will give you. In the short time Ive lurked Ive come to the conclusion they wont tell you a damn thing unless you know the secret squirrel handshake and are willing to run around the wheel with them for a little bit. Which is their perogative idiotic though I think it is. You don't need the damn combo anyway.
Method 1:
Search the net or ebay for padlock shims. Buy a set. Follow the directions included with them. Ironicaly these things dont work on most of the locks they say they do but they pop master combos as well as many similar ones wonderfully. The reason they do this is because Master is happy to produce a POS lock with a spring loaded as opposed to a dead locking latch which might cost a couple bucks more. They also are content with a shackle to case fit sloppy enough to shove a dead cat through. You can open them quicker by shim than with a combo. Yes I have tried them. Yes they do work. If they didn't I wouldn't tell you they do. If you are trying one and it isn't working then either the lock is not shimable due to deadlocking mechanism or inadequate clearance or both in which case it isn't the type of lock Im advocating use on anyway or you didn't read the damn directions and are doing it wrong, pick that piece of paper you threw in the trash w/o even looking at it out and read it.
Method 2:
You are a cheap SOB and wont buy the shims. I will help you anyway, although I shouldn't. You are probably the same cheap bastard who just got his power back on thanks to me and the computers at the library or whereever the hell you read my other article. OK Here's what you do. First say thank you, OK Youre welcome. Now rap the lock open. Use a soft hammer or other object, a shoe or boot heel comes in handy especially when you forget your gym lock combo. If you don't care about damaging the $2 piece of crap then use a steel hammer or brick what do I care. Idealy the blows should be directed perpendicular to the shackle to force the latch back via inertia, however blows directed downward inline with the shackle will in practice pop the damn thing open too. If it takes more than 2 or 3 good whacks you are doing it wrong. If you use the soft object the lock will be undamaged.
Both these methods work on most of the institutional type locks with the keyhole on the back as well. These are commonly used in schools in Cali and here in WV. I don't know about the rest of the country so don't ask me. Neither method will work on a good or even decent quality padlock with a deadlocking mechanism unless the force of the blow is sufficent to break something. So if you test this on your lock and it pops open get rid of that piece of crap, spend a couple more bucks and get a decent lock.
