LockPickingLawyer -- Very true. However, if someone walks into a gym or school with a crowbar and hammer and starts whacking away on lockers, I hope some heads get raised in suspicion. Of course shimming the shackle would be a lot more discrete and not take much longer. In the unfortunate event, most places have cameras as a last resort, be it school or gym; backyard shed, not usually the case.

When I was in high school we were given American brand combination locks for our school and gym lockers. One day when I was a junior all of a sudden we had to replace the locks, turn in the American locks and get a Master lock to replace it. I didn't know why until most of a year later, when another student told me. Seems there had been a rash of locker break-ins, and as part of a plea deal the perp demonstrated to the administration how they were doing it. They just hit the American locks with a shoe heel and they popped open. That was a long time ago, we were probably given the same "M14" Master locks you had.

"This is the LockPicking Lawyer, and today, we're just going to beat a couple of locks into submission and then roast Master Lock for it." I mean, you could attach one end of a chain to the lock and the other end to the back of your car and just rip it apart with the force of the engine. Is that a terrible lock? Or is that overkill on the part of the intruder? LPL: "The combination no longer works, but we have this key bypass here. Let's see if that still works." Me: Oh good. That should be quick.

If you take a smaller hammer and tap the sides of the locks while pulling on a piece of rope run through the shackle to pull the body of the lock they will open and you can reuse the lock. The fact is most master locks and many others like them can be opened the same way. You don't have to tap very hard and just pull with moderate force on the rope while tapping.

These were the exact locks that most kids used on their lockers in high school. You didn't need any tool whatsoever. Almost every guy knew that all you had to do was lift the lock up in the air, so the dial would be facing the locker and the lock was upside down, and then a well placed kick after you let go of the lock, before it fell back down. Bam, worked every time.

These locks were common in public schools when I was growing up and the lower rows of lockers you could easily stomp downward on these locks and they'd pop right open. Obviously it was a little destructive and I eventually found myself in possession of one of the school's master keys for these Master brand combination locks with key ways on the back :) You could also put a little tension on the shackle while turning the dial to feel the clicks for the combination. Takes a little time and finesse but I've been successful with it.

+LockPickingLawyer Something you may or may not find interesting... I was given a Master No15 because the key wasnt opening it reliably. It appears the key had been in it and received a blow that warped it along the longitudinal axis. It seemed difficult to pick, for a standard pinned Master and would key open in both directions, but would only pick CCW. Fooling around, I picked and attempted to spin the core with a rubber band. The spin failed and stopped pretty hard. Now it will only pick CW and with excessive tension and extra heavy pick pressure, but the key still works just as well. Im thinking the pins are partially sheared from the impact to the key and the failed core flip - somewhat like serrated pins. At any rate, its now a considerably more challenging pick. So I guess Im saying I fixed a Master Lock. *** I dont know how good of a picker I am, because I have a limited array of practice locks. I do have a passion for physical security though and can break, or bypass anything!

When I was in high school we were given American brand combination locks for our school and gym lockers. One day when I was a junior all of a sudden we had to replace the locks, turn in the American locks and get a Master lock to replace it. I didn't know why until most of a year later, when another student told me. Seems there had been a rash of locker break-ins, and as part of a plea deal the perp demonstrated to the administration how they were doing it. They just hit the American locks with a shoe heel and they popped open. That was a long time ago, we were probably given the same "M14" Master locks you had.

If you take a smaller hammer and tap the sides of the locks while pulling on a piece of rope run through the shackle to pull the body of the lock they will open and you can reuse the lock. The fact is most master locks and many others like them can be opened the same way. You don't have to tap very hard and just pull with moderate force on the rope while tapping.
I remember those locks from my school days. Like most "locked" things, the locks are only to keep the "honest" people "honest".

A test I would like to see on the same new Master Lock is: try freezing the lock internals first with canned air propellant (with inverted can, so the very cold isobutane comes out). Note that isobutane is heaver than air so you can flow it from above and it will sink into the necessary areas.
Even with a crowbar and sledge hammer he still found a way to pick a combination lock lol
I like these combination Master locks. Their good for their intended purpose like a school locker where its highly unusually to find someone walking around with a crow bar and sledge hammer attacking the lock. It's kinda like hating a suit case lock because you can hammer it open. I bought a combination Master lock 2001D model and it seems to be a higher end version of the locks in this video.
These were the exact locks that most kids used on their lockers in high school. You didn't need any tool whatsoever. Almost every guy knew that all you had to do was lift the lock up in the air, so the dial would be facing the locker and the lock was upside down, and then a well placed kick after you let go of the lock, before it fell back down. Bam, worked every time.

+LockPickingLawyer Something you may or may not find interesting... I was given a Master No15 because the key wasnt opening it reliably. It appears the key had been in it and received a blow that warped it along the longitudinal axis. It seemed difficult to pick, for a standard pinned Master and would key open in both directions, but would only pick CCW. Fooling around, I picked and attempted to spin the core with a rubber band. The spin failed and stopped pretty hard. Now it will only pick CW and with excessive tension and extra heavy pick pressure, but the key still works just as well. Im thinking the pins are partially sheared from the impact to the key and the failed core flip - somewhat like serrated pins. At any rate, its now a considerably more challenging pick. So I guess Im saying I fixed a Master Lock. *** I dont know how good of a picker I am, because I have a limited array of practice locks. I do have a passion for physical security though and can break, or bypass anything!
Kids used to open combination locks on school lockers by hitting the dial with the bottom of a book or notebook would generally open them up (especially the cheapies).
Okay, I realize I’m seeing this 4 years later, but the comment of whacking these with an M14 sounds EXACTLY like the experiences of Citadel cadets. Go dawgs!

I used these for years in high school; they were such a pain to put in the combination correctly. My bet is that the combination did work, but LPL just tried on some quirks of the design.
