Maybe a Sesame tool? in between the wheels??

Can i ask what a sesame tool is? Never heard of it

Or is it similar to putting say a thin feeler gauge between the dials and turning and waiting for the wheel to push the feeler ?

[elbowmacaroni]

bingo!

A sesame decoder is a tool that is used to decode combo locks, LOcks that have spinning wheels, like suit case locks, some bike locks, locks like the master 175, and so on, I believe it was made first to decode the "sesame" lock, witch is a 4 wheel combo spinning wheel lock,



you can also make this tool at home using a very thin feeler gauge,, it should be thin enough to be able to be cut with sesors.... I have even made quick ones out of a shin for the back of a cylinder,
they work but are more difficult to work with,

another good way to open this style of lock is to use a scope,, or and kinda lighted magnafier,, and look down between the wheels,,,aand keep spiining the wheel until you see the knoch,,,,,once you see it move tot he next wheel, once all you knoches are lined up,, rotate all the wheels equally,, it will open,
