How to Crack a Master Lock [infographic]

Designed by Mark Edward Campos, this infographic takes the confusing instructions that have been on the Internet for years, and translates them into a simple graphic.  64,000 possible combinations reduced to less than 100 attempts.

This design project was born to understand the inner workings of the padlock, and to develop a notation system to engage the viewer and provide a guide to beat a pad lock.

This is why I avoid using code padlocks ! Mind you there is a Squire one in the Uk that is quite hard to crack, I have still not managed it !

Hmm. My Masterlock's code is 31-5-15, which does not fit with the number tables.

I tried the Squire padlocks, they are quite hard to open, I only done one out of ten I tried !

Excellent work. As a professional locksmith I can see you have done a great investigation work and a very detailed work.
I like it.
