  • what size diamond pick did you use? thank you.

  • @teatreeleaves1 Small diamond pick is my favorite and I pretty much use it all the time, as seen in my vid "Small diamond on 14 locks - timed", and most of my other vids.

  • it worked. i did mine a little different, but it opened. thank you. :)

  • @teatreeleaves1 You're welcome. That's really just a cheap wafer lock, like you'll find on desk drawers, cheap filing cabinets, tool boxes, etc... Which you should also be able to open now.

    -But remember NEVER open a lock that's not yours without permission.

  • What the hell does 45 and 90 mean? degrees??

  • @IanSchultz92 If you do a 360 (degrees is implied) that means you turned all the way around, if you do a 180 that means you turned half way around, a 90 is a quarter way, and a 45 is a eight of the way around.

    -Just look up "degrees of angles". It's really pretty basic, don't make it harder than what it is.

  • Seriously, I lost the key to my safe years ago and decided I wanted to retrieve what was in it, so I took my tweezers and managed to open it. It's not hard to open a lock at all.

  • @blackfeathr Actually Sentry safes are not secure at all. They are made to protect important documents from fire much more so than they are made to keep people out.

  • I just used a drill press?

  • Ooohhhh it goes COUNTERCLOCKWISE ! DOH

  • Works! Thank you, I have never picked a lock before, but lost my keys to this Sentry 1100 box, watched your vid, made the tools & got in in under 2 minutes. THX!!!

  • it didnt work but my locks thing is smaller then a normal lock, it has a small key, and i cant get it, how do u do it with a lock tht has a small key hole?

  • took me a while to get it, but I did thanks for showing us how to do this. Now I am interested in more!

  • Saved me Big Time!!!.... not sure this is a skill I should know though....

  • You sir are a life saver!!! We lost our key to the ''box'' and a local locksmith wanted fifty bucks to get in it. I did it in less than a minute with your help. Many Thanks!

  • BROTHER YOU ARE A LIFE SAVE...I HAVE LESS THAN 6HRS TO GET ON A PLANE TO MEXICO AND I LOST MY DAMN KEYS TO MY SAFE...I LOOKED YOU UP (GRANTED I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE) AND WAS ABLE TO DO IT N 5MINS..YOURE THE DOPEST!
