Learn to pick locks

I tryed this a while ago but never manged to pick more than a few pins. Hopfully soon I can buy some really small padlocks to practise on. Also I need to find some good picks as paper clips seam to bend to easily.

Naughty I know…but still impressive!

Don’t we all have a secret desire to be a spy somewhere in us?? haha But really how awesome of a talent is lock picking, i don’t know how but i will master this one.

I can already open padlocks with the pick I made out of a hacksaw blade, but there are many different types of locks, the weird tubular keyed ones for gun cabinets and home safes are a good example. I also have to learn a method for each type of combination lock. (Bicycle combo locks only take a few minutes. You just set all the numbers to 0, then, while pulling on the lock, twist the first one all the way up to 9, when you get back to 0 you roll the next one up to 1. Roll the first all the way up to nine again, then push the second to 2… Continue this until it opens. I’ve done it to a few separate locks, one with five digits, the other with six. Neither took more than ten minutes.)

I won’t be satisfied that I have ‘done’ this until I can open all types of common locks reliably.

This would be a deadly skill to have!

Definatly want to learn how to do it.

Youtube doesn’t help very much .

pretty useful for if i ferget my keys or locker combo

But I see myself eyeing random locks every now and then wondering if I could pop them open.

I had a customer once who had to borrow our hammer to smash his car’s window so he could get in, because he had locked his keys inside it. I don’t want to be that guy.

They’re called bolt cutters. :D I had to use them once for my art locker when I lost the key to my lock. (Well, I didn’t lose the key – I had locked it inside the locker by mistake. How ironic is that!)
