Lock Picking as a Skill-Set and its Practical Applications

[8Akhkharu8]

Bogota lock picks are design for standard door key ways euro/jap and American locks. but a lot higher class security pad locks have a much narrow key way. one of my pick set is slim pick set for narrow key ways but some locks like American lock company its still to small a good cheap way to make a tension wrench for those is a bobby pin.

Seems like the problem was to small a key way for the rake and torque wrench and the lock just kept moving to much making it even harder. I would've put a big pair of vise grips on the lock to prevent it from rotating so much then went to raking on it or find some way to help secure it from moving so much then address the problem with the key way then went to raking on it or SPP :)

I have 2 lock picking videos you may like, check them out!!

As a long time member of LockSportInternational, I'd like to say "good job" on the video!

[lockpicks08]

Nice vid thanks, check me out for your lockpicking media

[vorkev1]

in this app most lock smiths such as my self will use a pick gun.

[omfg191]

Shouldn't you blur out the license plate?

[DemonHide]

I'm looking at some pick sets from J&L Self Defense Products. They seem like good stuff for various tasks, including some auto-jigglers. What do you guys think?

[fallenspirit123]

@DemonHide I have those, they are alright

[DemonHide]

@fallenspirit123 Fair enough, I suppose. Might look into them when the funds are available.

I'm pretty sure lockpicking is illegal in most states...

[strhunter666]

@PMJustinY only if its done illegally

[survivalpodcasting]

@PMJustinY - Only if you don't own the lock or have permission from the owner to pick the lock.

[xeotech1]

@PMJustinY You're wrong. Picking locks that you are EXPLICITY given permission to pick is 100% legal as long as the owner of the lock has given permission. Picking locks that you yourself own is also 100% legal. Picking locks that you do NOT own or do NOT have permission to pick is ILLEGAL.

[edgybob1]

I live in NC and am disabled but used to be a locksmith and am very familiar with the laws. You must be licensed to legally have these in your possession here.

It's like driving without a drivers license.  You can drive even if you don't have one until you get caught.

[edgybob1]

They have rechargeable ones with lithium batteries now.

What's the nest way to learn lock picking.

Thanks.

@kphifer1 Check out our Website, we have some introductory articles on Lock Picking. Thanks for the comment! ~ Bryan

[johnwilsonriley]

@kphifer1 A good way to learn lock picking is to grind the side of a pad lock off, just enough so the tumbler still works, but you can see where the pins in the lock are sliding up when your trying to pick it. This allows you to see whats going on, if you've got too little or too much tension! After that its just practice and more practice, on different locks. You can make your picks and tension wrench out of Hack saw blades, a bench grinder and a propane torch to bend the tension wrench!

[ohTHATidiot]

like to see a vid on lock types/brands that you find harder or impossible to open.

[ITStactical]

@ohTHATidiot Good suggestion, thanks for the comment! ~ Bryan

[edgybob1]

A dremel tool works good on padlock type locks.

[ITStactical]

@edgybob1 Sure, if you want to carry around an extension cord LOL

[edgybob1]

You know in some states you can be arrested for possessing lock picks without being a licensed locksmith. Same with car opening tools.

[ITStactical]

@edgybob1 Actually in most states you have to have "intent" for them to be illegal to carry, you should read up on the laws before carrying picks. ~ Bryan

[Tux3d0]

Hey what kind of watch is that? It looks pretty cool!

[jokertim777]

Great work! Man, you work cheap :)

Out of curiosity, if he'd have called a locksmith, how would he (the locksmith) have gotten the lock off?

Would he have used a pick, "master" key, a saw, or some other method?

Thanks.

[ITStactical]

@jokertim777 I'm sure the locksmith would have used picks as well if Jack was interested in saving the lock. It probably would have run him at least $75, probably more. This wasn't a brand name lock and master key's are kind of a misnomer. Thanks for the comment! ~ Bryan

[blackhatch46]

holy camera breathing!!

[johnpsmith84]

I dont like the raking method, i just prefer single pin picking..good job tho!

[humanentropy]

should blur out the license plate..

[ITStactical]

@humanentropy That's another illusion of security... What exactly would you do with a license plate number? Get the address of someone that you could already find by looking at publicly available information on an appraisal district website? Thanks for the comment, Bryan

[survivalpodcasting]

@humanentropy - Its my plate and I could care less who sees it given I drive it down the road daily. I actually find it pointless that people worry about this. How many people see your plate EVER DAY?

[DinosaurWithRobotEye]

@humanentropy Fuck no. TEXAS!

And these guys are really good with guns.

[adventurek9]

I once removed the same hitch lock simply by drilling out the keyhole with a 3/8" drill bit. But I'd prefer to know this method first.

[thegrahamreaper1]

You used a key ;) haha Just messing. Good video. I keep my picks in my EDC bag (SERE Bogota) Keep up the good work guys.

[biguy525]
