The Kryptonite KryptoFlex 1218 bike lock is a fairly tough lock to crack, but I show how to decode it to recover your lost combination key code (that you may have forgotten).

    This worked surprisingly quickly without having to mess with tensioning. Cheers!

    Helped me open a lock that I couldn't remember the code to. Worked very quickly. Thanks much!
  • @PocketWomen
    This was excellent to watch. thanks for this video. I like it when a lock doesn't require that tough pull apart tensioning like this lock. Have a great weekend, cheers
  • After watching a few videos, this was the one that did the trick. Thanks for the help.
  • @Llyrically_llama
    Was having difficulty with this exact lock. Thanks for the help!

    Thanks so much. My daughter had one of these from new months ago and decided to put a code in without committing it to memory. This has finally allowed me to decode it. I'd even tried brute forcing all 10,000 combos but must have had the numbers slightly off 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂
  • @Potti314
    Very interesting method. Will try it on some locks to see how it goes. Thanks for the inspiration.
  • @RookKnight
    Excellent job exploiting that locks weakness. I will definitely keep that in my memory banks 👍

    I wonder how many others are shouting at you about that left hand wheel. That's a nice method to remember. I find that bike locks fall into two categories, easy or very difficult, that looked to be in the last class. Well done.
  • @pullareddy406
    Thank you for this. It helped me and cracked very quick
  • Thank you for the video this really helped me, i watched so many videos but this method helped me open mine 😊
  • @SpenserB.
    Hell yeah dude! That's for the help😄
  • Worked had that lock around my post for like ten years watched your video and had it off in like 15 min thank you Subscribed.
  • @tozozhen6322
    I like this way! but should WE make thé notes to distinct the 2 éventuel positions in 1e wheel !
  • @prevarikation
    Nicely done! I love this method, it seems kinder on the hands than applying full tension. I wonder if the 4/0 and 8/4 confusion was because of false gates 4 positions off from the true gate? Odd that the false gates wouldn't be offset by 5 and keep some symmetry.

    Omg thank you so much it worked for me and I’m gob smacked. Thank you
