8 Piece Comb Picks for Padlocks

Exploit a Simple Vulnerability to easily open padlocks

Comb Picks exploit a very simple vulnerability in some padlocks.

Basically, some padlocks allow you to push both pins out of the plug, meaning there's nothing obstructing the plug from turning. Comb Picks, when lined up with the pins, allow you to perform this moving of the pins out of the plug and then turn the comb pick to open the lock.

Not all padlocks are vulnerable to this technique, but when they are, the comb picks work as fast as a key!

Although there are still millions of padlocks that are open to this vulnerability, manufacturers have, thankfully, largely put a stop to this exploit, so do not expect to open high-security padlocks with comb picks. However, a lot of our customers thin their comb picks down on a bench grinder or some glass-paper to make them a thinner gauge and therefore able to fit more padlocks.
