Learn to pick locks

www.lysator.liu.se/mit-guide/MITLockGuide.pdf

Having some trouble with ‘real’ locks (door locks instead of padlocks). Have to be careful because I’ve heard they break off real easily inside the locks, then you’ve got a real problem.

Mostly having problems with pins that don’t set. I’m guessing its because of the order that I’m setting them, but I still don’t know the rules for that except for set the hardest one first and adjust the torque for everything else. Probably wrong. The guide should help me actually figure it out. Then I’ll be able to get into people’s dorms when they leave their alarms set to loud and early when they are on vacation.

Got my set today. Managed to open a one padlock (though it was dirty and hard to open even when the torque wrench gave) and there is one more I can’t open, as well as an old doorknob. Will try them later.
