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.
Found on Gizmodo.

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 !
