Wow never thought i would understand how a paticular lock works, let alone with this much understanding. Thank you so much for this video!

Excellent video Paul. Love the strip down of this lock and seeing inside answers a lot of questions as to how the mechanism works. All the very best of the best to Tom and his recovery.

Roy, thank you for watching one of my longer videos. Not having a mechanical background, I always find it interesting to see what’s going on under the “bonnet”. I’m sure Tom will have seen your posting, but I will pass on your best wishes.

On the padlocks i have that look very similar to this, I found that pushing down on the shackle instead of pulling it did bind the wheels. Im not sure why it works, but looking at the mechanism in yours here, that technique wouldnt work. Before i too bought a decoder knife, i learnt the technique by making a feeler tool from a piece of aluminium drinks can. It works a treat too.

I’ve seen the technique of using a aluminium can cut to a point, but I have never tried it. Thank you for watching.

My background is electronics, so I have problems visualising the mechanics of these combination locks, which is way I try and get under the “bonnet” if I can. Once again thanks for the comment.

Have uou tried their chain locks? Everything about them is lose and low tolerance + heavily tensioned plus there are weird shims between code wheels which seem to fight you when you try to decode them by feel. Each code-wheel has a false gate (in the same position unfortunately ). Fun locks

Hi Have you done a video on how to open a Squire SHCB65 I just bought one and I am struggling to decode it.When I pull the button out at the side fully I can’t turn the furthermost wheels Can you shim it? Cheers Ian

Ian, I have decoded several of this type of Squire locks, although I am not sure of the model numbers. Can’t say that I’ve had a problem with them. If the button comes fully out, does the shackle open? I do have a CBW85 here that I intend to decode on camera at a later date. I very much doubt that you can shim it. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

Ian, sounds like the stuck wheel is in a gate, either the true one or a false one. Ease off the tension and that should allow the wheel to turn. If you need any more advice my email address can be found in my channel’s “about” section.
