Introduction
Combo locks are a convenient and popular type of lock for securing school lockers, gym lockers, luggage, and other items. However, with the right techniques and tools, unlocking them becomes fairly straightforward. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to unlock any 3-digit combo lock in seconds using a few simple steps.
Method #1: Guessing the Combination
- Start by placing tension on the shackle of the lock.
- Apply slight pressure to the shackle while turning it clockwise or counterclockwise as if you were trying to open it.
- Listen carefully for clicks or pops – every time you hear one of these sounds indicates a possible correct digit in your combination.
- Try different combinations until the shackle releases.
Method #2: Using Shim Technique
The shim technique involves pushing a specially shaped piece of metal into the keyhole next to each wheel disc inside your combo padlock. Once all discs move freely past where each number is set during opening attempts will work perfectly fine with no issues at all.
Here’s how:
- Insert one end of a thin strip into space between wheel disk and retaining ring
- Keep that end pressed tightly against back wall while repeating process on another Disk (there will be two total)
- Push down hard enough so both disks get moved forward at once–then try pulling up towards myself until I feel resistance from within; this should allow me access without issue!
4.It should take no more than around 10 seconds for an experienced person to apply this method successfully.
Keep in mind that these methods may not work on all types of combo locks as some models have additional security features such as anti-shim technology which make them harder to pick open using traditional methods.
Conclusion
While it can be concerning knowing just how easy it is to bypass a three-digit combination lock, it’s important to keep in mind the real-life scenarios when this information could come in handy.
