Mini-knives give you non-destructive entry into MANY different locks, allowing you to decode or bypass them in minutes. New locks that are susceptible to this form of bypass are being discovered all the time – maybe you’ll find a new one! Whether you’re just starting out in the art of lock picking or are quite advanced, a mini-knife will increase your range instantly. These well-proven tools add a unique dimension to your skill-set, and for locksmiths are essential. Combination locks – whether the many padlocks, key-boxes, lockers, cabinets, or briefcases – have very small spaces between the wheels. By inserting the mini-knife decoder into these tight spaces, you can learn how to ‘read’ the combination by looking for ‘flats’, ‘grooves’, or any other kind of indicator that suggests a change in the ‘feel’ of the wheel. People have even used mini-knife tools to help decode push button locks, by locating vulnerabilities in the small space around the buttons. Some locks, like the Master 175 doesn’t even need decoding. By inserting the mini-knife decoder to the left of the third wheel, you can actually depress the locking mechanism and cause the lock to open. A great example of how the mini-knife tool works. By simply inserting the knife through the small space between the third wheel and the housing, you can then simply lever the copper colored part down – causing the lock to open! Many un-shielded padlocks can be opened by inserting the knife beyond the pins, and applying pressure straight to the mocking mechanism.
