  • nice video man :)

  • tension wrench actually but yeah, nice video :D good information :)

  • Its goin to take me forever to figure it out

  • What an excellent method you have of explaining a reasonably complex concept. The mixture of representations of visual and verbal modes suited my learning style perfectly. Have you thought of a teaching job?

  • @shoutatthesky I've worked as an academic tutor and as a wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu coach.

  • can u do a water lock i got my water shut down and i try to open it but is a huge lock problably de double that the one u have

  • where do you get the tools for this?

  • @PhuckWithaPh32 lockpicktools com

  • @PhuckWithaPh32 personally I make them myself , i don't suggest u buying anything , because when u make it yourself u know how that works 

  • @PhuckWithaPh32 GoodLockpicks (dt) eu

    Only for Europe tho ; )

  • omg american -.-

  • Youre one handy dude, lets procreate 

  • @adri411 Lockpicking... it gets all the babes ;-P

  • @adri411 We can totally get down as long as your girlfriend is okay with it.

  • Due to a little study of this video I just picked the lock to my so called safe with a allen wrench & a paper clip. -_-;

    At lest I know now to get a better safe. Seesh.

  • Or you can get a shotgun and make yourself a way in =D

  • First

  • I'm tryIng to pick a masterlock and it's not working, the pins are lifting and I'm doing everything you said, can you help me?

  • @gastroization That is definitely me and my tutorial is original. Any other website you see it on has stolen it from me. Check my other videos - all me.

  • you know its pretty sad when you copy someones contents from another website into yous

  • Are your picks stainless steel? I hear they are the best. Would you advise me to buy my picks over the internet or at store? Also more question is what are diamond picks used for, and can I buy picks with mirrors on the the end?

  • @Kjazz2717 get peterson picks

  • Hi verry nice vido, but the tools.... how u made them?

  • hey how you doing?i have sent some msgs to you try and get some pointers if you could check out my vids and leave some pointers i would be grateful. my youtue name is DANNYBOY74 THANK YOU AND HAPPY PICKING.

  • is dis legal?

  • nice tutorial very good I have just started picking locks. I have bought a lock picking set form the Net but i have'nt got it jet. But your tutorial have helpet me a lot.

    Thank you :)

  • With all due respect to your rather well-done video, I could never understand the practical use for picking a a padlock - unless it's just for fun. As a working locksmith who has come across locked padlocks several times weekly (with no key available) for years, it's clearly a waste of time to pick them. That's why Home Depot sells grinders. Because unless you need ballast for your boat (or just wanna practice picking) they're useless.

  • Where can I get a set of lockpicks? Right now I am making my own out of smashed paperclips, and it isn't going well.

  • Cool video, man. Just one question.

    Are you a locksmith, hobbyist, or just a guy who likes to tinker with things?

  • Quite ironic it's called a masterlock lol. Otherwise good video. Wanted to learn something about lock picking and this is interesting.

  • what do you use to lockpick, please?

  • @Luis9266 a lockpicking set you can get it pretty much any hardware store

  • everytime i try and pick the lock i can feel the pins go up but as soon as i go to move to the next pin the first one falls back down. help?

  • I laughed at the pickafication thing. its obviously torque...

  • tension and torsion mean kind of the same thing but torsion means in a circular rotation and tension means stretching or straining something. 

  • Ich habe einen gebrauchten aber nur 1 Woche benutzten Trainingszylinder (5 Stifte, 2 davon Hantelstifte) von BKS zu verkaufen. Dieser Trainingszylinder ist professionell von multipick-service.de hergestellt worden. Bei Interesse schreibt mir. Standort Deutschland.

  • hottest. man. ever.

  • I've just got a 25mm lock, and its box says "security level: 2". Does anyone know what that means?

    Oh, and by the way, i bought this lock to try to pick it with paper clips, but the lock just won't open... Im so frustrated. I really dont know wtf i am doing wrong.

  • i am very good at picking locks coz' i pick locks alot. man, some locks are harder than others but the size of tension wrench matters; with smaller and thinner ones i am having problems, but wider help u alot. oh yea, you also have 2 unerstand how locks work. sorry for long boring comment but this may help, im just sayin'.

  • Say my grandfather doesn't give me his lockpicks and torsion(tension?) tools, where do I get a set?

  • thanks to you i played the best prank on my bro :D he currently has no battery packs on his xbox controllers and is scouring his house looking for them.......they are in my jacket pocket, Thanks man! P.S you should do voice overs for movie trailers lol

  • your voice doesnt match you.

  • @gingerxsnapsxback Thanks.

  • @etanderson I'm not sure that's a compliment.

  • @etanderson you're welcome

  • @etanderson hes wrong actually you look like badass villain

  • have you ever went into a country club locker room and broken into the lockers?

  • lol... What kind of wrench is it??

  • im a noob, and i havent even have the tools.. but i can say ur video is very easy to understand. very nice tutorial video.

  • Well i threw my Master lock No.3 out the window. onto the pavement. its a bit scratched and dirty but heres a quick question. is it possible to pick my lock with.... not lock pick tools.. lol like ghettified ways? no not a gun to the metal. like bobby pins and all. if so can you explain how? i like ur vids also.

  • thanks, that helped me understand some stuff and answered some of my questions!

  • good diagrams dude

  • cool dude this is a good example and i like it good job make some more vids keeper comin

  • nice vid dude, not many as descriptive as you, I am learning

    cheers

  • hey guy, very good video, but can you tell me what do yo use for tension wrench? im still using these fucking paperclips, and i hate them :D

  • hey guy, very good video, but can you tell me what do yo use for tension wrench? im still using these fucking paperclips, and i hate them :D

  • for what is torc or whatever is called?

  • I can't get any tumblers to stay in place whatsoever. I was working on the very first pin, which I could see clearly. I put too much pressure, and the pin wouldn't move, then I tried slightly easing the pressure, and the pin just drops all the way. I was just working on the damn lock for an hour and a half, but I could not get one single pin in place. It's a Masterlock bike lock.

  • Nice Tutorial ! Very Clear and Thanks Man ! Nice job !

  • youre not much of an artist, but ive been wondering how to use my pick for ages (got it when i was like 10) and this was the best demonstration, better than the directions that came with it

  • lol ur kinda cute

  • That 532 is such a joke, I took it back to Lowes and asked for my money back. It's the most expensive lock they carry complete with security pins and it never takes me more than a millisecond to jiggle it with even a paper clip. The 532 is a waste of money anything stuck in the keyhole while torsion is applied WILL open the 532 get anything else this is not even a beginner lock.

  • your lockpicking has increased by 1

  • try to pick lock a garrison lock its so hard i haven't got it yet but still figuring it out

  • thanks man, i cant tell you how many times i've been locked out of my house... :P

  • wow deep voice

  • yay!! it helped to open my wardrobe, because the key is lost :P

  • hell yeah its hard sometimes, thats why you need to use bumpkeys, i got a set at superbumpkeys. com and they open doors and locks in just seconds. and these guys have the lowest price for bumpkeys too. i recomend to anyone. bumping is the way to go.

  • even with all this detail

    its still pretty tough..well for me :p

  • I have been searching my ass 4 a video like this

    tnx man

    U rock!!

  • very nice video man

  • Thanks mate! Your diagrams are REALLY helpful! I wouldn't have understood without them!

  • nice vid! finally i found a vid thats ok, al other vids are fakers are totally not working piece of shit vids.. thx man

  • absolutly correct! :D

  • check out mine because i ACTUALLY pick locks not like those fony ass faggots.

  • nice vid, indeed better thn this one :) cause i learned from yours and i didn't learn from this

  • kool thnx

  • i thought you were supposed to start at the back and work to the front

  • yea that works with most locks and most of the time the success rate for picking from the back to front is higher than front to back.

  • i can pick open all locks but not master lock, i dont know whats wrong???

  • You can pick all locks,but not master lock ? considering that master lock is one of the easiest locks to pick it leaves me to wonder what kind of locks have you picked and how many?

  • padlocks, door locks, bike locks and i have one masterlock but some reason i cant get it open

  • I was asking what manufacturers and models, door locks,padlocks, bike locks doesn't explain what level of security they provide, also what kind of master lock are you working on? then i can give you some advice on how to open it

  • i know that that it is a masterlock but i dont know what kindav, it has some blue plastick on it and its with stripes on it!!

  • lol when you try to pick one does it feel like you have all of the pins but it wont turn? thats because of one or several security pins insode the lock which prevent it being tampered with and being picked successfully.

  • try changing amount of tension... Or you could have a master lock with security pins in it. If this is the case you are probably just not good enough to get it to work.

  • I'm having trouble starting picking. I'm not exactly sure when the pins are setting, or if they are at all. I mean, I can feel them going up, and when I release tension on the wrench, I can hear a couple clicks, but it never seems to hold.

    The one I'm trying to practice on is a Masterlock No. 3. The lock inside seems to be a little loose, but the key still works. Would that make it difficult for a novice to apply the right amount of tension?

  • First of all, i wouldn't start with a master lock no matter what number it is. Find an easier lock, maybe a 4 pin lock to start off with so there arent as many pins to worry about. Put tension on the wrench for the WHOLE time of the picking process and start from the front to back pushing up on the pins. I have vids out already about how to pick locks but not in very much detail so ill make a better one.

  • Master lock is one of the easiest lock brands to pick. Unless you have some chinese POS then you cant get easier

  • When you release pressure on the tension wrench count clicks. If all the pins are falling that means you are over setting. If less than all the pins fall it means you didnt set them all. You can find the number of pins by google or counting with a hook pick.

    Master No.3 should not be any trouble. The looseness would probably make it easier. When a lock is all gunked up and hard to turn it makes it harder

  • You clearly know your stuff! Very good Tutorial

  • one of the best tutorials ive seen so far. very well done.

  • very very good tuturial!!

  • Can I lock pick door with these?

  • tension tool, not torsion tool, sorry but i had to say it :D

    great vid tho its nice to have pictures :P wish i found this vid when i first started

  • Tension is a linear force. Torsion is a rotational force. Since we use the wrench to put a rotational force on the lock it should be called a Torsion Wrench. Tension wrench is a misnomer.

  • Its called a tension tool because it is used to put tension on the plug. when you put the "Tension Tool" into the lock it is not torsion that is being put on the lock because there isn't much of a rotational force, there is just tension. If you want you could call it a torsion tool as you are spinning the lock open?

  • Are you putting the tension in, out, left, right, up, or down on the plug? no, you are putting torsion on the plug in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction.

  • Comment removed

  • @etanderson Torque is a Rotational force. Torsion is the twisting of an object because of torque applied to it. Your tension wrench does experience slight torsion when you pick a lock. But that torsion is not an important part of picking the lock. The Tension wrench is giving a Torque to the lock causing Tension on the pins. That is what is important.

  • what kind of lock is the easyst to pick, door, or pad, and what modle???

  • Door locks are generally simple (it was my first) but i mostly pick padlocks now. Try any master that is under $10 ;)

  • should you be able to see the pins inside the lock once they are set?

  • if you are looking down the keyhole, the pins will still be visible, yes. Pushing the pins all the way up does not unlock the lock.

  • lol you can use a hammer but you gotta be sneaky

  • nice vid man

  • thank you

  • you're funny:D your drawing is cute

  • hi, E. tnx 4 ur crystal clear explanation... d diagrams are nice, too

    B )

  • good vid, but let me ask you something, can u that in a am5200, i got a question about transponder "t-code usa" any one with experience with it or any kind of mvp mmsg me got some question i got thanks

  • phillips a-40 is a pain in the ass got any tips to get over those?

  • how do you know when the pins are in the right spot?

  • When the lock turns from the tension of the tension wrench

  • anyone know does singapore sell any picks?? cos i have a lock that is old n i had lost the key if who know can keep me in post

  • thats pretty cool.......I find a hammer works well also : )

  • Good video. Do you have a site you would suggest to buy from? And what tools you would get for someone starting out?

    Thanks and keep up the vids

  • yeah i love this vid but... why pick locks if you have keys? unless your a burgalr.

  • Have you ever lost your keys? Have any of your friends ever lost their keys? Every once in a while I pick a lock for someone who lost their keys. It's not a criminal skill; it's a basic skill.

  • Great video and i do agree. Master locks are quite easy to pick and im just starting out. I had picked up a Master lock 530 thinking it would be a challenge. I had picked it in the first 3 mins.

    Can you suggest any other locks that could offer a more intermediate challenge?

  • where would you acquire the tools required to do this? would i have to order them or would i be able to go to my general tool shop and buy them?

  • I HAVE A PROBLEM , hi i am from the netherlands and i brought a europ and japanees lockpick set 'Southord c1500' when i try to pick my house lock the pins keep comming back up , so if i pull the pick down it just comes up again if i leave it again ... What am i doeing wrong !?!?!?

  • Sounds like you're not putting torsion on the lock while you pick.

  • Ik denk dat je een beveiligd slot hebt met rubberen blokjes onder de pinnen die de pinnen weer terug drukt, maar kan het fout hebben.

  • do u no the diference between a stainless steel pick or a spring steel pick...btw wich one do u have?

  • tension wrench. not tersion

  • "Tension" refers to a linear force. Torsion refers to force applied in a circular motion. Because we apply force in a circular fashion with pin-tumbler locks, we should refer to it as a torsion wrench. Tension wrench is a misnomer. Thanks a lot for your helpful hint.

  • yo man i def like the vid..i jst started learning how to pick and im doing ok so far i just need to get some tools but im not looking to spend alot of $ did u make yours or did u jst buy them? im just gona pick locks like the one u deminstrated and maybe my house locks so would i only need 2 tools the torque wrench and the rake one? please msg me back sometime soon so i can get workin on this haha thanks man

  • Isnt it pretty?XD

    Nice man,Nice :D

  • have you had a chance to pick a lock with spool pins or serrated pins yet? If not You will know serrated pins because one can see them sometimes on the first two bottom pins.good luck

  • hey man ill pay you if you send me some tools cuase every time i try to make them i fuck them up lates

  • thanks i can pick anything now

  • man u are very good

  • can i buy lockpicks from a locksmith store ??????

  • I have a little problem, when I try to push all the pins to th shearline one by one, they won't stay they just keep falling down, why is that, I'm a beginer and I open it sometimes but not always only when I push the paper clip around randomly, I wanna know exactly what I need to do to open it, the lock itself is nothing special, plzzz help. Nice vid by th way I'm impressed:)

  • ok, first I don't want to offend you but the problem with the lock picking is this:

    When You buy a lock and You learn the characteristics of this specific lock then it's easy to pick it up, but the problem in the real world is that when You need to pick lock that You never picked before it's not that easy, and sometimes need much much more times, even hours, isn't???

  • I suppose your complaint is with lockpicking in general. There are different types of locks. This tutorial is for the common type, a pin-tumbler lock. It's on padlocks, doors, and other medium-low security places. With practice, most of them can be picked by someone with my low level of lockpicking in a few minutes.

  • Indeed, the characteristics of certain locks in general can be learned and so whether its the one you own, or a new one you've never seen (of the same brand) you still have a great knowledge of it's workings.

    and typically a lock should hopefully not require hours, as their is no scenario i can think of that would allow for that kind of time. with practice and knowledge of the TYPES of locks, a higher ability of picking each one faster should be gained.

  • that last comment was meant as a reply to neuroza's comment

  • do the pins stuck when they are on that sheer line?

  • Thank you. I learned how to lockpick.

  • great video. The diagrams were very helpful.

  • nice vid ;)

  • very helpful, but its hard for me to make the thing u put in a hole (not the lockpick)

  • Nice video,good explaining... keep uploading the good videos.

  • does it matter what number is it?

  • Most locks are pin-tumbler locks so they will be of a similar make but Number 532 just references this specific lock. It's like saying that's a Porsche 928, that's a specific type of Porsche.

  • it never works for me but i do exactly as everyone says

  • same here...

  • very good video, it was hard trying to find a good tutorial on how to pick a lock... good job man

  • thank you it took me 15 min to find a good video.

  • I had trouble finding a good video when I started, so I've always hoped that I provided a little better instruction than others with this video. I hope it helps everyone out :D

  • can i get a lemon square-making tutorial next?

  • Maybe, Al. That's a pretty good idea.

  • Ok! I just care about one other thing. Are there some locks that are totally impossible to pick from the front to the back or is it just that it's easier from the back to the front? It's a bit hard to nail the pins properly if you start from the back sometimes.

    I just love 4.38 - 5.00!

    "But this lock it happens to take just a light touch, to each pin, from the front to the back, and that light touch will open the lock. However, I don't always have that light touch

    .

    .

    .

    But sometimes I do" <3

  • Lol, yeah, I sounded like Mr. Rogers there. :D It's not that some locks are necessarily impossible to pick the pins front to back or back to front it just depends on what works best for what lock.

  • Yeah, thanks. I'll try  :D

  • What happens if you put to much tension to the lock? And how do you know when you have hitted the pins correctly so it reaches and locks itself in the shareline?

    <3

  • you need to ajust the tention with ur finger just keep trying till u get used to it and u can feel the little clicks in the locks wen the pin goes up thats how i opened my lock in school.

  • does the pins have to be picked altogether (you pick one and keep it up while continuing with the other ones), or can you pick one, release it and pick the next one and continue that way?

    Thanks for a great vid <3

  • You have to pick them all together. If you release the torsion/tension you are keeping on the lock with your wrench, all the pins will fall back into their original, locked positions.

  • Hey pal.

    I'm a beginner myself, but think i learned a lot from your video. Thanks very much!... And one question!: Where do you get your tools, and can i eventually make my own tools?

  • I get them from lockpicktools dot com. It's possible to eventually make your own, there are lots of videos about that on youtube.

  • well done. nice tutorial.

  • Thanks!

  • i love you really dude i'm trying like 3 motnhis and know i know that you neet put presuure on the lock thanks dude i love youu you rulllle

  • Because its not illegal in most states. The restrictions are mostly on sale/transfer of tools and not acually possession.

  • it's called civil disobedience. All the people in "these videos" own the locks they pick.

  • i want to test it!!

  • Nice vid. I will have to get one of those locks just to feel it out when i can cheat and look at the bitting. Msg me direct about picking sometime. A good "T" wrench for door locks can be made from winshield wiper spines. They are long and can be arced like a bow and 'ding' nicely when a pin is set. Any ABLOY tips about their boltwork? Do a vid about warded locks so every1 quits using them. All viewing this have fun and pick legally!!!

  • hey great video man.

    keep the videos up =]
