How to pick locks (the beginner's guide)

[1161181]

I got all the pins up but it wont open anyways and im sure I'm getting up all the pins and i' sure that I'm twistin the right direction cuz I have a key any idea what I'm I might be doin wwrong

[NoNeedForAKey]

@1161181 The pins are not supposed to be pushed all the way up. You are trying to push the pins to the shear line, not push them into the bible of the lock. Some pins will need to be lifted up really far while others will only need a little lift to set them. If you push a pin past the shear line (which it sounds like you are doing) then that pin is stopping the lock from turning. If you need any help just send me a message and I will be able to go into more detail.

[MrBudha98]

[DARQIKSKID]

[captainasspacket]

You talk professionally

[MrHULLUMUMMO]

In soviet russia, lock picks you

[Netaro1000]

Here's a site! Dealextreme(dot) com! they have tons of gadgets! Aaaaand.... IT'S FREE SHIPPING!!! And they have really cheap prices! I found a lock pickin' toolkit for 7.30! They ship worldwide. I have bought tons of gadgets there. I guarantee that you will get the things you order. They support paypal too!

[thesafetyofficer1]

It's much easier if you place the Tension Tool in the top of the keyway and apply tension (use a tension tool with a shorter end). This will give you more room to work with the lock pick. (I know, cause I wrote the book Locksmithing:From Apprentice To Master).

[Lovingit95]

That looks so easy.... so far it's not that easy for me O.O

[ericcharles333]

its c rake

[besterich277]

@ericcharles333 Description says it -.-

[Pivoteer24]

where do you get a hook whatever the hell its called?

[Bredli37]

Invalid parameters WTF

[zacthebold]

What's funny is that that lock will open in either direction. XD

[ssssullenssss]

Thankyou sooo much, I've broken into sooo many houses and looted their stuff.

Thanks again.

[ashtongrist]

You sound hot amd u have sexy hands.

[Nyu727]

Hobby? what are you...OH! yes hobby right just a hobby...

[FalloutMasterman]

Thanks man!

[TheDarkBlob]

DUUUUUUUDE there are like a billion vids on how 2 pick one of thosefucking retard locks but i havent found even ONE of others,like these we've got in Europe

[halodeathrow100]

i suggest not the TW-11, but the TW-01. The TW-11 (just bought) was kind of flimsy and I bent it on a bike lock... I need a thicker one.

[miodragtv]

I will use this method on my school doors... AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! 3:D

[shrub74]

Good video, for future ones you should include a disclaimer and a warning for vagabonds who might want to use this for evil :P

[callum1131]

poor explanation and poor video footage.

[kmichael212]

Dude,I might just rob a couple of houses now.I use to steal cars with shaved keys but now I need to expand on my skill.

[starwarsman96]

some locks have trap pins now so once u get those its very easy to pick masterlocks sometimes have them and their easy if u know which trap pin it is

[TervaMonni]

LOL HOBBY???

[professionlock]

@TervaMonni Some people consider lockpicking as a hobby.

[audreyk456]

@ThaTrillMagician well, youtube is spazzing out on me and won't let me give a link; but if you search 'how to pick locks' then the first option should be for 'HowStuffWorks' and will tell you all the details

[ThaTrillMagician]

@audreyk456 not a good idea... in my opinion

[SuperWaveShredder]

You can also get them at a hardware store.

[enjoisk8ing4life3]

GIFT YOUTUBE

[007remixer]

they are called bump keys you retard + you need to file the key each key every lock because the spacing between the pins vary every lock/every make of locks

[007remixer]

there called bump keys not super bumpkeys and you have to file each key every lock you do. they are for people who cant be asked to try something a little more challenging

[fgironman3]

Thxs but 1 more thing is that almost all locks go clockwise

[Dsltrucker43]

You dont need the TENSION wrench if you are using superbumpkeys, you just have to hit the end of the key and your done. the best freaking part about superbumpkeys is they only cost 2 bucks.

[zaqw1111]

it always annoys me when people call it a tension wrench. Sure, that's what everyone calls it, but the force applied is actually TORSION (aka torque). Torsion is a rotational force, tension is a pulling force

[crazyproductions999]

thanks it really helped :)

[Trainlocksmiths]

Hi this is a great locksmith channel, I hope my locksmith channel will be as good as this!

[TheILpride]

i dont get why people watch this vid then say of better ways to open a door trying to be funny and clever.

[the23zeugma]

This video isn't too bad, but let it be stated: Even if it is just a hobby, which it can be, the possession of lock picking paraphernalia is illegal.

[EyeThreeShow]

fuck £30 im off to go get it all for £1.00 at a carboot/garage sale or for free off my granddad

[innocent1252]

[penguincity32]

[motjon]

[HaloHamstur]

[MeganFox822]

Hahahahahahah a "hobby"

[Applemug]

the hardware shop i went to purposely refuse to sell those equipments to anyone. safety concern matters. though i may want it for my own door, but there are lotsa bad people who'll always misuse it. :(

[HaloHamstur]

Great hobby. When cops arrest you say your were practicing your hobby.

[RaitoDenki]

@HaloHamstur they can't arrest you for pick locking ur own lock...

[imobeus1]

[TheFreebornFanatic]

[youtheregotohell]

[TheFreebornFanatic]

[lockpicker9700]

[bonesdog101]

Youtube blows my mind. I went from watching videos of plane crashes to puppies to a dude picking locks ....wtf?

[EreBeMonsters]

@bonesdog101 I went from watching fart videos to mythbusters to lock picking

[krampster2]

Where do you buy a lock pick set from? I have never seen one.

[redrockfilms12]

Breaking into someones house is now considered a pastime?

Howabout car chases as a new olympic sport

[maicon9]

[navykid97]

Step 1: get a hammer

Step 2: smash the hell out of the lock

Step 3: keep smashing until it eventually breaks

yur welcome

[realbitchndiva]

I HATE THE NEW YOUTUBE

[1tsjeb0y]

@realbitchndiva I totally agree, it loses it characteristic movie watching lay-out in one day!!!!!

[perto75]

Master sells a lot of locks because it is a favorite among lockpickers and those who are starting into the lockpicking hobby. LOL. Maybe that's Master's primary goal in order to be a bestseller.

[badmoviecridict101]

i know how to open a lock without doing any of this stuff!!! use the key!

[BobSaget37]

he refers to it as a "hobby" tho i use it for "anarchy"

[MrSpartanomega]

Ok you seem to know what your doing. Only thing is lockpicking isn't a hobby it is a skill used for locksmithing and it is highly illegal to own a lockpick unless your a licensed locksmith and you were refering to the lock as a plug I do belive it is a cylinder. My uncle is a locksmith by the way. So that is how I know

[tommyballe]

@MrSpartanomega wtf are you rambling about, it's not illegal to own lockpicks in most countries. ever heard of locksport?

[dakkenly]

Uh no it's 0% illegal to own it-but you can get in trouble if a cop catches you with it say in the middle of the night in a neighborhood

[chbrules]

It is not illegal to own a lock pick set, dumbass.

[manufacturedfracture]

actually it is just a skill no illegalness at all unless you uuse it to break in it is a good skillt incase your locked out of your own home

[Choko4343]

@manufacturedfracture idd

[TheFreebornFanatic]

@MrSpartanomega You have no idea what you are talking about. Do research before you decide to use your mouth words.

1. Lock picking IS a hobby.

2. It's not illegal to own a set.

3. Just because you have a locksmith for an uncle, doesn't mean you know everything.

[Neji048]

i'm sorry for bothering u ... i'm really interested in lock picking (just for hoby!!!) and i don't know where can i buy real ''pro'' set of lock picking thingies...would u mind in sending me messiage where can i buy it in europe ????(on inbox please)

[Hottrodd99x]

[dunny2k]

[TheFreebornFanatic]

[TheDrew00018]

[whycantibefree]

[vasquero616]

[drewdidyomama]

ok ummm how do these people know this? I meen is there a lock picking 101 or somthing?!!?

[papaphilo]

picking locks is concidered a hobby???lol

[bananasir]

yea!! :P

[tuttlex9]

ive got $20 and the set i want to but is 16.50 how much will S&H cost?

[Commandos12]

will screwdriver replace the tension wrench?

[rollerdeath50]

it can maybe replace it but you need a really small SD and it will block your accesibilty to the lock.. .so make a tension wrench yourself it easy, just take a little piece of metal take a llighter and eath a section on the piece after like 50 second bend the section youve burn with the lighter an your done!!! thats how i did it and im absolutly satisfied

[MrPhilipbgj]

genrally a screwdriver is to large to fit but i suppose you can find one small enough. in that case youd be better off just buying a tension wrench.

[Commandos12]

@MrPhilipbgj well i would if there are open shops where i can just walk in and buy stuff... the thing is i hate buying things off of internet ... and the shipping too

[Orangetree991]

cool i want to becomea thief

[Coldwarwinner]

Burglar. Just picking the lock won't make you a thief.

[Orangetree991]

@Coldwarwinner so what do u have to do in order to become a thief them?

[nyjets48]

@Orangetree991

Break down the word theif. Theft. To steal. Now Burglar is to steal as well. So his whole comment makes no sense. But what I am saying is you are not a theif or burglar for picking a lock...stealing is another story.

[Coldwarwinner]

Burglary is typically defined as the unlawful entry into almost any structure (not just a home or business) with the intent to commit any crime inside (not just theft/larceny). No physical breaking and entering is required; the offender may simply trespass through an open door.

[Coldwarwinner]

Commit larceny.

[jubito586]

To start this hobi??? hobi?

[pupil8]

why not use explosives? or are you too good for that? LOL

[AUGRE12345]

Or you could learn to lock pick, I don't see why people watch LOCK PICKING videos, Then offer alternatives like... "Or you could kick it down" or "You could break it down with an axe" Or " You could use explosives"

[xxerikxx100]

LOL!

[katanadog9]

@pupil8 why not use a gun

[Funnyman850]

@pupil8 he wants to be like Sam Fisher

[Lordp00m]

@pupil8 Or kick the door in or get a crowbar or a gun... so many ways to open stuff!

[petemx13]

[OXXBOXXO]

[willobillo0714]

Is it as easy as what he makes it look? And for those who live in Australia, reakon i could get those at "Bunnings Warehouse"?

[TheScorptail]

what if I'm from the future and can not understand what your saying?

[usesoap999]

where would i buy these tools

[SaNePisamPeTigani]

are you fucking retarded ? he explains where to get the tools from at the end of the vid.

[Nicko1555]

If these picks are for beginners, what picks would you recommend for intermediate/medium lock pickers?

[Nicko1555]

Is the "s" rake the sort of spiky rake?

Because I have the s rake and it works good for me

[TheFreebornFanatic]

@Nicko1555 You have the S rake, but yet you don't know which one an S rake is....

[kushprophet]

I can pick a master lock with a single large paper clip bent the right way.

and my friends fire proof lock box lol

[chexmexpnoy7]

i just put my tiny weiner in their and wiggle it around

[bomber123456789dabes]

shoudent pin pop back when you pick them up??

[Sparclen]

I am wondering the same thing. Someone answer this please.

[DeceptionR18]

what happens is, when you lift the pins up whilst applying pressure and turning the lock, it traps them above what's called the shear line and the springs cannot push them back down. You have to push each pin up from the one with the most bind to the pin with the least bind when applying pressure.

[plazcheetah]

can't really anything be a hobby? just because you pick locks doesn't make you a "crook" this skill really helped me out when i got locked out of my bike shed

[fizzyguitar3]

thnx for the info!!!

[Sazemsam]

Lol i did it to my dad and sold his lock back to him for £5

[Doomcause]

what about nose-picking? lols! great vid.

[OnyxFyreTheMad]

I use a bobby pin for these special doors that dont have a specific key on them.

[perfectcursex3]

Hey man i wana believe it works that easy but you should do another video and show us its locked before you start

[kiddkaos1]

its not that easy, it takes a little while to be able to get it as quick as he can, but its 'that easy'

[kvasnicka14]

hobby?

[narutofan051195]

price raised each is 1.65 so it would be $4.92 plus s&h

[creamypouf8]

Actually $4.55 + S/H for those tools, but whatever.

[paemxia7]

just $4 to get started on this hobby?- plus shipping?

lol

[johnyadder]

For another good home made hobby check the tennis ball morter

[johnyadder]

You have to go to the single/replacement section for a kit this basic

[johnyadder]

I think this man needs to mention how light the preasure is on the tension wrench im willing to recon hes got the basicsin that kit dont take that as gosbull but i just managed to bump my mommas lock with a home made a few weeks ago and was just about to give up and got lucky with what i though was a half arsed last effort with only the resting pressure of my thumb. just done it in about a dozen attemps about half an hour ago but now it just wont seem to go maybey i will need patients again.

[gam3rb0y93]

i went to southord.comnad it costs like 16.50 for a 'standard set'

[dbroncos1997]

lol when did lock breaking become a hobby?

btw i just googled this vid cuz i'm currently playing oblivion :)

[pandaman0529]

loll

Oblivion lock picking was so annoying

[FuriousPixel]

100s of years ago

[FerociousSniper]

aha i watched this video last night and then tried making my own pick and tension tool out of a bobby pin it worked i just did it five minutes ago

[FerociousSniper]

thank u very much i like that it wuz just enough info so that a novice like myself can have a good understanding of lockpicking

[DietBroccoli]

I actually use my C rake for the individual picking technique, lol.

[dacam22]

i just watched another vid about lock picking and the other vid said u only needed 2 tools ?

byt the way, good vid
