Comment on Wooden Combination Lock

Comments

Wow, I just did that right 10/left 10 trick on my Master lock here, and it opened right up! That's messed up.

Being somewhat security conscious, whenever I lock it (at the gym), I always set the dial to zero so that I'm not giving out the 3rd number of the combination to any passer-by. This also thwarts the right10/left10 attack, which is nice. Cool video!

I tried it with a 25 year old master lock and it didn't work.
