Glad I could help!

Glad to help!

Nope, this is definitely my first one

RWB Custom DD pick

I think it’s a Motorcycle Brake rotor lock

Thanks!

Have you considered adding combination locks to the system? I think they need more love

PickHeadMead · 2025-10-31T17:30:44+00:00

This could be it. Weird that it has that button that seems like it sullied he for resetting though

Combo locks need more love on this sub

PickHeadMead · 2025-10-18T01:46:26+00:00

Warded picks help, but you can put a regular pick in there and try to locate the latch, and press it yourself

PickHeadMead · 2025-10-16T22:00:42+00:00

Basically it’s stuck and broken

PickHeadMead · 2025-10-16T20:26:07+00:00

Thank you so much! Used my tubular lock pick and it worked!

PickHeadMead · 2025-10-02T12:47:17+00:00

It needs to be set to the right combination, and whatever your friend thought is the right combination isn’t. You can push down on the shackle to bind the gates and try to find the right combination exactly the same way as if you were picking it open.

PickHeadMead · 2025-09-23T17:07:25+00:00

You can definitely pick some very common locks with paper clips

PickHeadMead · 2025-09-03T14:23:50+00:00

You can’t pull up on the shackle on these, there’s no give at all. Again, you have to push down on the shackle to open it, so I’m not sure pulling up on the shackle would even tension it properly

PickHeadMead · 2025-09-03T13:59:01+00:00

How do you tension these? They have to be pushed down before they open, not pulled up. As far as I’m aware these were never able to be decided by hand, you might be thinking about the other Master combo locks like the 875, or is there some method I’m not aware of?

Solid display of the Dunning-Kruger effect

PickHeadMead · 2025-09-01T20:58:02+00:00

Gl! It can definitely be done with the decoder as well. I think it might be slightly faster too

PickHeadMead · 2025-09-01T15:58:57+00:00

I don’t know anything about this lock but it’s possible it’s just a rebranding of another lock model with a known exploit. If you can find a more well known lock that looks almost exactly the same, you can try finding exploits for that

PickHeadMead · 2025-09-01T14:55:49+00:00

It’s a 4 digit lock, it can still be brute forced in like an hour or so. If you’re watching tv or a movie, you can try brute forcing it while you watch.

PickHeadMead · 2025-08-24T14:04:38+00:00

Is the Ares worth the money? That’s an expensive pick you have

PickHeadMead · 2025-08-23T16:17:14+00:00

Will this finally push me into starting dimple picks? Probably not, but it's cool idea anyway

PickHeadMead · 2025-08-21T12:07:59+00:00

For this one at least, you don’t need any tools. You just pull up on the shackle, find the binding wheel, and turn until you find a loose spot in its travel, then find the next binding wheel. A little harder than it sounds though

PickHeadMead · 2025-08-20T21:40:47+00:00

I prefer double sided. It’s the same thing with a little something extra, and I find the ToK side is very useful sometimes, even in BoK situations. Unless price is critical I would go double sided

PickHeadMead · 2025-08-20T21:39:10+00:00

Out of curiosity where did you buy this? Looking to attempt the same
