- It can be any number on the dial wheel.

How Do You Drill Out A Locker Lock?
Now we know how to open a padlock with a combination. But before we move ahead, we must know about the mechanism of the padlock and deadbolt. Padlock and deadbolt haves some minor differences between them.
Both contain some set of springs/pins. That attaches to the mainspring that locks or unlocks the lock mechanism. It depends on the size of the lock whether it has 4 springs or more. Whether they are small in size or big ones.
When you put the key inside the padlock or the deadbolt the key with the specified shape fits in the springs and unlocks the lock. The same goes with the deadbolt, but the major difference is those springs are in a narrow form. so that they can fit in the doors perfectly.
3 Different Ways To Drill The Lock
1. Drill In The Top Of The Keyhole
To drill the lock, you must try to drill in the top of the keyhole. As we drill off the top of the keyhole. All the springs that lock the mechanism will get free.
If you try to drill with this process, maybe one attempt will not be successful but more than one will work out for you. For this, the drill pin must be thinner so that it can easily cut through the lock.
Note: Always try to drill out all the little pins/springs to the bottom.
2. Drill In The Shear Line
You all mostly don’t know about the shear line. This line is present between the top and bottom of the keyhole pin. Now you all know, what a sheer line is. It’s time to move to the process of the drill.
It may be one of the hard ways to drill the lock. For this, as mentioned above slightly thinner drill pin is required. After a few attempts, you can easily unlock the lock.
3. Drill To All The Top Pins
This is one of the easiest and quickest ways to open the lock. you have to know about the lock mechanism, a screwdriver. Ignite the drill and it can easily break all the pins of the lock. And make the process a lot easier for you than you think off.
For deadbolt, just mark the location of the drill. Place the screwdriver above the keyhole. And with the help of the hammer stab the screwdriver to mark the location. Now you can drill all the pins of the deadbolt. And open the lock in a more easy and quicker way.
You can find some good wall-mounted phone storage lockers to store your cell phone and reduce the hassle of finding it again and again.
How To Open A Locker Master Lock?
To open the master lock all you need is a master lock for the locker. And just follow these few simple steps.
Step1: Find The First Number
As we all know that master locks require three combinations to get unlocked. To get that we have to find the first one.
- First of all, try to put light tension on the shackle. And start to spin the wheel.
- Feel that is it free or not? While doing that you have to feel a clicking sound. But if you gonna press the shackle hard the dial will start to catch the clicking after every four on the dial.
- So start with the little tension on the shackle. Now spin the wheel in the clock in the clockwise direction.
- Till you feel nothing. If it is smooth, leave it there.
- Start to apply more tension to the shackle. You slowly start to get a click on the dial.
- Suppose we get a click on the zero.
- You have to keep the tension the same to check whether it will click again on the same position. And if start to put a little more tension on the shackle. You will get a bit loud click sound than the previous.
- Once we found that click adds five to that number. For example, we took zero so 0+5=5
- So our first number is 5.
- After following this, we will get our first number.
Step2: Number Two
Now we have to find our next number to do that we have to rotate the dial anticlockwise. And pass 5 once to get our second number.
- Once you bring it on the five for a second time. Give it a little more tension than you had previously. You have to look up to get your second number.
- Try every four numbers at the same tension. So when you find out a point that locks it completely.
- Suppose it locks completely on 32. So our next number is 32.
- Now we have our two numbers 32 and 5.
- It’s time to get our third number.
Step3: Last Number
- To get your last time, you don’t have to put any tension on the shackle.
- We are gonna go two number’s each to check whether our lock will open or not.
- So if we start our rotation anticlockwise and still our lock will not open. Then move towards the next option.
- Try every fourth number on the dial and check whether your lock is open or not.
- After your few attempts, it will get unlocked.
Note:
- Just practice the lock rotation for few times and you will remember the lock rotation.
- These are the rotation to the master clock for the locker.
- Three times to the clockwise direction or left,
- Two times to the anticlockwise direction or right,
- One time to the clockwise again or right
- At last, ensure the selection of the best master lock for your locker.
Final Talk
Now, we all know almost everything and every step to open the lock. or should we say change the combination of the lock? Whether it’s a combination once or a keyhole once. We all know how to open all the locks easily.
But don’t use these steps to create problems for someone. Cause if you practice these you just end up in the bad condition for yourself. These are only for your emergency condition. And remember not to practice this publically also because that ain’t gonna good for you.
