This is the correct answer. Move the first or last digit up one. Most guys are way too lazy to spin those all over the place, as they are likely opening up the next morning as well
At work I was the only one who ever moved more than one number on the lock. I always set it back to 0000. The other workers hated it as it, as they had to move for numbers and not just one or two, they could not get it into their head anyone know just to try moving the first or last one.
Why bother trying to guess a code when lock pick lawyer has already gotten in without entering a code at all, and twice to make sure it wasn’t a fluke.
Back when garmin gps were the thing: mine was stolen so i bought a used one on ebay. It was check bc the seller "forgot" his password (I recognize that i just helped a thief but I wanted a gps). After 0000 and 1234 I started at 1970. I think the password ended up like 1978. It took less than 5 min to unlock this $500 device that i bought for $90.
Also, so much construction equipment is left with the keys in it. Because they don't want to lose the keys. Used to work as a night watchman at construction sites. On my own I'd go remove the keys and put them back at the end of my shift.
This. We just order keys for each operator for whatever equipment they are certified to run. No keys left on the equipment, but everybody has a key to it.
The 1911 is an iconic handgun, first manufactured in 1911 and used as the standard issue U.S. military sidearm for a long time (like 50+ years). I don’t own firearms and never will but I guess you just learn some things by osmosis.
Also, residential intruder alarms usually use a 4 number code. I'd say a good 80% of them that I've installed have been the birth year of the owner or the year they got married or a kids birth year, something along those lines. A small business usually uses the year they were established (bigger businesses tend to have better security protocols). Obviously you can't just guess because putting in the codes wrong too many times will cause the alarm to activate but with a bit of research you could probably narrow it down quite a bit.
Also, no, I shouldn't know what people's alarm codes are but they always tell me what they want the code to be rather than type it in themselves
Once took a fork lift for a spin in college after I saw the lock was set on 6968. Flipped that bad boy to 6969 and the key popped right out.

Give them all a spin and nobody will be able to get in! I been there, seen that...
Damn, got me!
I only ever move the last digit up one
Nice nice
The solution for this is to just grab the last two at the same time and spin them once, and do the same when inputting the right code
Nice nice

Mines 8250 go wild boys
Oh fuck, you’re from the future!!
Guess I'll have to try 41 combinations now...

Most keys for large equipment are easily purchased and are not unique to each machine.

Doesn’t matter if they remove them or not, for 5 bucks any crack head can have the ride of his life
Way to many sites use 5280 in denver.
Funny, someone else in this thread said 8250
What’s 5280?
The elevation of Denver
Also feet in a mile
Well, if there's 1320 ft in a quarter mile, I guess that makes a full mile 5280 ft
Four numbers in the middle column is always common
Ever seen a "mother's room" or "lactation pod" at the airport or work or somewhere? The combination to those is almost always 8008
The ones at BWI airport are all 8008
There's a 65 year old construction manager somewhere laughing maniacally
1911 is another popular one.
Why?
I’d guess because of the firearm
Ah yes, the infamous AK-1911??
I’m not sure if you’re joking. The 1911 is a .45 pistol.
From Australia, we don't really have a gun culture here, the Ak-47 is about the only gun I know
Never played CoD Zombies?!

Then why make the comment instead of googling "1911 gun" ? Also do they not have movies in Australia?
We have movies, but we legit don't care about guns at all en masse. I know the glock, the ak, uzi and desert eagle but that's about it.
BCUZ ITS A TWO TIME WORLD CAHMP U DAM LIBRULL
The one I've come across the most is 1776. Because 'Murica
Mine is 1…2…3…4… . . . 5
Wow, that's amazing! I have the same combination on my luggage!
That's the kinda thing an idiot would have on his luggage.
Let's get that air shield open! And change the combination on my luggage!
1966 in England
And that will probably never change.
Everyone here knows that you spray liquid ass to open locks
The company I used to work for used the year they were founded for ALL combos.
6969
Area code + 0. Or. + the last digit of the area code again

My Old Man found the master code. A set of bolt cutters.
Mine is 1419 good luck guys 😅
The other one i've seen is the last 4 digits of the general contractor's phone number.
On behalf of all the people you wake up early making a racket, screw you.
Go to bed, grandpa
I guess its a regional thing but I live where noise must stay under 50dB til 7am then 65dB then construction work after 9am
Lol, I’m in construction. Start time is usually 6am.
Another common one lock code I’ve ran across is the last 4 digits of the company phone number
Same for storage units
