@TroyGazim Well, the right pressure on the tension wrench is the key to succesfully locking the pins :) But your problem could have two origins: 1. Your pressure is not strong enough, try using slightly more pressure until the pin stays where you want it. You have to keep a constant pressure during the whole process. 2. You arent working on the right pin. Because of minimal production tolerances the pins have a certain order in which you can lock them. Try it with the other pins then!
@elesararwos No, you dont break the locks, basically you are "imitating" the key in some form. You are ppushing the pins into their positions one after the other and then just turn it. Almost like using a key. Opening padlocks is realy easy, try it! (But dont do something illegal ;) )
@carbocycl you can either make them by yourself, just search here on youtube for "diy lockpick" and you will find lots of instructional videos. Or you can buy them online in shops like dealextreme. But be careful to stay legal! I dont know if its allowed to buy and own these things where you live!
How much pressure needs to be put on the tension wrench? Every attempt I have made has resulted in the pin just falling back into place

I've yet to pick locks, but the mechanics are fascinating
do you break the lock when you pick it?

You did a superb job of educating me. I probably would never pick a lock, but my curiousity has been satisfied. Thank you very much.

@Andrios97 Well,sad thing is they could have left a comment why they dislike the vid but they didnt. :) Maybe thats a good thing, too... :)
Oh and just to mkae it clear: This video is not to show someone how to do illegal things, its to learn some of the basics of the lockpicking-sport!
