How to Find the Combination of a Number Lock Using a Shim
This educational animation demonstrates a method for bypassing a standard combination lock using a thin, flat tool known as a shim. By inserting the shim between the number wheels, the user can feel for a small notch or indentation on the internal cam of each wheel. When the shim drops into this notch, it indicates that the wheel is aligned correctly for the combination. By repeating this process for each wheel, the correct sequence can be identified. This visual guide highlights the mechanical vulnerabilities inherent in simple combination locks, emphasizing why they are not suitable for high-security applications.
I feel like I would definitely break the lock trying this
That is actually super clever, I had no idea it worked like that

My ADHD brain would still somehow manage to lose the shim and lock myself out anyway 😅
That is actually super clever, I had no idea they were that easy to bypass
I feel like I would definitely lose the shim and end up just staring at the lock instead
I would definitely lose the shim and end up even more stuck than before 😅
That is actually super satisfying to watch, thanks for sharing this.

Wait, does this mean my gym locker has been basically useless this whole time?
