Any castle is a protector of personal property or what needs to be kept secret and secret. A great many castles are guarded by our apartments and garages, cottages and offices. Shops and institutions, cabinets and safes, tables and even suitcases have their own types of different locks. One of these guards are combination locks. Opening a code lock without knowing the code (numbers) is quite problematic, and sometimes it is not at all possible. Combinations of codes number up to several hundred thousand different options and only increase over time.
How to open a
code lock if you suddenly forgot the code? There are many ways to open and crack. Of course, if you have a grinder or a hacksaw, a screwdriver or a drill, a hammer or other improvised tool, then you can try to break, cut down and "kill" the lock. But breaking - not building, but a combination lock - is not mechanics, and it will be very sad if the combined miracle is brutally destroyed. Here, of course, you decide, and all the ways are good for achieving goals. You can try electrical engineering in this area, these are special lasers and X-rays, wiretapping and fitting. And if you don’t have any special electronic equipment and other mechanical devices at your fingertips, and you just really need to open the combination lock and immediately get inside the drawer or safe? Here you have to wait a bit. To do this, you will need to call a specialized company for emergency opening of locks of any complexity. And very soon a group of “bear cub” specialists will arrive, who within five minutes will open any type of combination lock. Well, in order to open the castle on your own, you need special knowledge, which in the future must be applied only legally and in no case should be abused for personal gain.
Consider the simplest example of opening a combination lock for a luggage bag or suitcase. For example, you ride a train, and your head pops mercilessly and cannot remember the coveted cipher of a damned code lock ... This is where instructions on how to open a code lock on a suitcase, wherever you are, come in handy. Typically, a combination lock on a suitcase is the easiest and consists of three wheels, each of which has numbers from 0 to 9. This combination of lock has only up to 1000 opening options. Believe me, this is very small, and it is possible to open such a lock by selecting numbers in 15-20 minutes.
We put all three wheels in position 0 and begin the execution of the naughty castle. The first two wheels on the left are left at 0, and the third one starts to scroll in the order from 0-1-2 ... and so on to 9. Moreover, if the lock is internal, then we pull the luggage cover so that it feels like each number clicks when scrolling the wheel. If the castle is external, then we tighten the arms of the castle itself, again, to hear the click and feel the scroll. We twist the third wheel, stopping at each digit and keeping the lock taut. If this did not yield positive results, then we carry out the following maneuver. The first wheel on the left is left at the number 0, the average, it’s the second, we translate by 1, and the third again we start to turn from 0 to 9 and try to pick up the forgotten code. If there is no result, then continue in the same sequence. The first wheel is at 0, the average is set at 2, and the third wheel is selected. When the middle wheel goes through all nine digits and the lock does not open, go to the next stage. We put the first wheel on 1 unit, the average on 0, scroll the third wheel from 0 to 9, while do not forget to pull the lock and listen. The options further have the following provisions:
- the first is 1, the second is 0, the third is twisted;
- the first is 1, the second is 1, the third is twisted;
- the first is 1, the second is 2, the third is twisted;
- the first is 1, the second is 3, the third is twisted;
- the first is 1, the second is 4, the third is twisted;
- the first is 1, the second is 5, the third is twisted;
- the first is 1, the second is 6, the third is twisted;
- the first is 1, the second is 7, the third is twisted;
- the first is 1, the second is 8, the third is twisted;
- the first is 1, the second is 9, the third is twisted.
If the lock did not click again and did not open, then we continue to select:
the first is 2, the second is 0, the third is twisted;- the first is 2, the second is 1, the third is twisted;
- the first is 2, the second is 2, the third is twisted;
- the first is 2, the second is 3, the third is twisted;
- the first is 2, the second is 4, the third is twisted;
- the first is 2, the second is 5, the third is twisted;
- the first is 2, the second is 6, the third is twisted;
- the first is 2, the second is 7, the third is twisted;
- the first is 2, the second is 8, the third is twisted;
- the first - 2, the second - 9, the third twist.
And so on, until the code lock finally makes us happy with its long-awaited click. You are rewarded for your patience and diligence! As one great man said: "Learn, study and study." And the entertainer and combinator Ostap Bender added to this thought: "Soon only cats will be born."
