 Okay. A lot of you have probably seen this lock before. This is an S&G 8088 Sgt. in Greenleaf. This is actually, this was the U.S. government issue authorized for various classified document storage. It's no longer used. Apparently there is a vulnerability in it which I was unable to either get sufficient information on or use to open it. But this is no longer authorized for GSA and secure use. It is kind of neat because the operation of it is pretty similar to a Group 2 safe lock and it's compact and you can buy one for, I don't know, 40 or 60 dollars on eBay. There's also a newer version called the 8077 which is somewhat larger, has a shiny chrome exterior and a little different dial and that one is still standard issue. An interesting thing about this is that the body, I don't know what it's made out of but it's not, it's not ferrous steel. I'm not magnetic. It could be some kind of stainless but that doesn't attract a magnet. The shackle is clearly steel and it's pretty hard. I did a very light check to it. So some of you may want to try to manipulate this open. So I'm about to give out the combination which happens to be the factory default. I don't have a change key for it so I'm not able to alter it and I don't want to try to hack it because if I break it I don't know how to fix it. So but I'll just sort of demonstrate the operation. It took me a while to get this right despite having read the instructions about eight times but just being so used to running normal like master lock combination locks from school, there's just certain mistakes I was making so I thought I'd just go through that. So what you do is you start by zeroing the lock. So you turn it counterclockwise letting the number zero pass the indicator here four times, a total of at least four times. Okay so we've done that. Now the combination is 10, 20, 30. Okay so we're going to continue rotating to the point where we get to 10. Okay now the next digit or the next number is 20. So we're going to rotate three times, we're going to rotate the dial until 20 hits the indicator for the third time. So it's not like we rotate past 10 three times and then hit 20. So this which is what you would do on like a master lock. So that's one, two, three and you these things you need to be really pretty precise. Okay so now I've got the second number dialed in. The next one is 30 and I need to dial it so that 30 passes this once and stops at it so it when it touches this for the second time. So here comes 30 that's one and then we continue around and you can feel it pick up the last wheel. We go to 30. Now at this point the combinations dialed in but the lock won't open. There is a disc in the back that the nose of the whatever the thing is called the lever that releases the bolt drops into. It has to drop into the three notches in the wheels as well as this rear thing and it's designed so that you can only apply pressure to the locking bar when the dial is at a specific position which happens to be zero. So now we go anti-clockwise back to zero. Okay and then if I've gotten this right you give it a good firm tug and there it is. I was gonna have to do a take two. It's a little sticky I don't know if it's because it's older or just finicky. At this point the dial is locked up and if I close the shackle it will remain it will reset the dials in some kind of horrible way and will not open again until you dial the combination in. So at this point you know you could take the lock off do whatever you need to do but we can now look at the back and there's this little hole you can see here. This is where a change key would go and you notice it's blocked off and it's been blocked off the whole time so you can't stick anything in there. I think in some of the older ones you could stick something in there and that I think that would allow you to there's some my some way of sticking a shim in and being able to detect the positions of the gates on the wheels. At any rate if we had a change key we could now push this guy up a little spring-loaded door and you can see that the let's see is that visible. Now I zoom in for you and focus. Okay so you see that little door here and push this up and they get that opens. Now I don't know if you're able to see inside but you can't really see but if you look through there you can see various little holes and stuff in the discs and I believe the way that it works is that you dial the you lock it back up or you leave this you actually leave this open lock the lock you dial the combination but using this index here as the as the mark that causes the all the wheels to set in a funny a little bit off and there's some little holes that show up in the wheels through the little window here. You stick the change key in you turn it a certain amount you then do some procedure cross your fingers hope you got it right and and then I think you then test the lock out. I don't have the key and I'm not going to risk screwing up the lock for the next guy and for Bill to find out whether I know how to do that so I'm gonna leave it alone but S&G lock pretty cool if you've never played with a safe lock or anything like that this is kind of gives you a little bit of a feel for it I tried manipulating it I think I had decoded the 10 and the 20 after a lot of fiddling but I was so screwed up with the left right left right nonsense that I wasn't able to finish manipulating it and I kind of gave up and looked at the instructions again but I didn't know it was on the default but I just tried that again so anyhow I'm kind of a cool lock you can get a money bay again for I don't know I've seen them up to you know 40 $60 the newer ones are a little bit more expensive the 808 the 8077 this is the 8088 but neat lock thanks for including it Bill it was fun to play with I've never had my hands on one of these and I don't know I may get me a get a cutaway version of one of these and and play with it it's certainly an inexpensive way to to get some experience fiddling with combination locks without having to buy a big expensive group 2 or group 1 safe lock anyhow thanks for watching have fun thanks to Bill for sending this and the many other locks out I'm about ready to send the box onto the next guy and I need a name and address so if Bill or someone else could volunteer someone in the US that would be fabulous and I'll get this in the mail to you before the end of the week okay and yeah thanks for watching cheers and keep it legal
