I decode (open without knowing the combination, with no tools) a 4 wheel combination padlock made by BRINKS out-of-the package. It has false gates and is a fun lock to open (decoding starts at here 1:26). It was very kindly sent to me by "William Mancel" (youtube.com/channel/UCCYD0AaFNkmF5O-j7iJjB8Q). And I'm very thankful that I could play with this nice lock.

    For those who know me also know how much I love combination locks. So I was very excited to receive this cool BRINKS lock from William. It has false gates and is susceptible to the method of testing the wheel resistance to distinguish true from false gates. What an exciting packages - thanks a lot to William again

    Wow, I tried this with my Brinks lock and got it open in 20 seconds by just feeling the tension of each number dial. Crazy easy to pick! Thanks!

    I forgot the combination on my daughter's lock and this video helped me get it open. I wrote it down this time. Thank you!!!

    Really glad this video is still up, just got the lock and messed up the code I wanted, forgot it and thought I had a dud, watched the vid and picked it to get the code. Thank you, it was a great tutorial and help.

    Cool, I got it! Found an old one of these of my dad's (he recently passed away). I don't even know what a gate is, true or false, but was able to determine the tightest wheel to start with. After lubing up the lock with some graphite and playing with it, I was able to get that one to "click". I couldnt decide between two of the other wheels which one was tightest, but picked one, and it seemed not to want to move from the number it was already on. Then I noticed those were the last two digits of a PIN he commonly used. Sure enough, his PIN was the combination.

    Thanks for this video! We found one of these locks while cleaning out my husband's grandma's storage unit. I've never decoded a lock before. Your video made it super easy. Only took me like 10 minutes. Thanks again!

    I have one of these left over from my school days and could never remember the code, but kept it incase I got bored. I followed along and did it tonight!
  • @Drumbone71
    After a few Days, I finally decided this exact lock using your method. Totally first time. I felt the feel of the true gates….🤘

    I’ve had this same lock for years and never knew the combination. I stumbled on your video to see if I could figure it out and I kid you not, as I was watching you and I was working the lock as well, it unlocked the same time yours did!! Crazy! Awesome video man thanks!
  • @BoulderSouls
    Just bought this exact lock and accidentally set the wrong code so the lock was stuck in the backwards position with this video it only took me a few minutes to actually pick it open appreciate the help man!
  • Thank you! Awesome video and method. Was in my lock in 2 minutes!! Grateful!
  • @pyratemage
    Thanks! Cameron sent me a couple kinds of Brinks. This confirms what I was thinking on this model. Yayy
  • @uduic
    THANK YOU!!! method worked for us. It took about 20 minutes and we almost gave up but thankfully we stuck with it.
  • THANK YOU OMG SCHOOL SATRTS TOMMOROW AND MY LOCK LOCLED IT SELF AND I WAS SO STRESSED BUT I GOT IT OPEN THANKS TO YOUUUUU THANK YOU
  • Never had I so much doubt. 5 minutes in I started feeling it then click !
  • This video is so good. My lock got stuck in the reset combo position and I couldnt get it open. Now I have fixed this problem and also learned how to open this lock I have had my sister randomize it about 5 times and Ive been getting faster at it everytime.
  • @sarah-jp3rb
    Thank you so much!!!! My cousin has a freezer full of goodies that he locked with this lock. He told me I could eat as much as I want if I could open it. After much frustration and watching this video over and over, I finally did it!!! It only took me about 15 min! Yumminess here I come!
  • Thank you! I just bought. When I tried to set my personal combination got stuck with the shackle in the opposite way. 🤦‍♀️I followed your instructions and now it's working. I thought I was going to buy a new one.
