  • This is the lock picking lawyer, and what I have for you today is a master lock model 5900 D personal safe.

  • Now, this is a product that I really wanted to like.

  • I have been in several situations recently where this would have been very useful.

  • For instance, when you're at the pool, you can put your phone and wallet inside and then use this cable to lock it to a chair.

  • However, as I looked more carefully at the mechanism, I realized there was a big problem.

  • Usually on mechanisms like this, you can use a thin shim of metal like this and feel for the gate, and you can absolutely do that on this lock.

  • However, on this mechanism, the tolerances are so sloppy that you can literally look through the gap and see that gate.

  • I'm gonna zoom in and hopefully you'll be able to see that can see right here in this little gap.

  • You can see the gate there.

  • Let me move this so you can see what it's like when there's no gate, and then back to where the gate iss.

  • So I'm gonna show you just how easy it is.

  • to decode this just using site.

  • First, we need to change the combination.

  • So it's not something I know and this is facing away from me, of course.

  • So I can't see the combination and let's scramble it again.

  • So right now I have a locked box and I do not know the combination, but hopefully in just a matter of seconds, I should be able to decode this, not even looking at the numbers, just looking at that gap on the side.

  • So if someone can open this without any tools in a matter of seconds, it's probably not something that you want to rely upon.

  • In any case, that's all I have for you today.

  • If you do have any questions or comments about this, please put them below.
