Lock Picking with improvised tools

[Dooms_day]

i opened my desk lock (4 wafers) with a paperclip and the metal insert on a ruler as the tension...lol

Ice picks, heh, heh, thats right out of comic books.

The oval mark on the bow makes it look like an abus, there is also an american padlock key and a cut down master warded key. this is in addition to the warded lock picks, commercial type. ( I make my own when I need to open one of these warded locks.)

been awhile since i stopped in

locked myself out of my apartment recently

so i went down to the $ store
and bought some jumbo paperclips and cheapo superglue

i superglued a paperclip to the core to use for tension
and then i raked my lock open

and a final quick sanding to get the superglue off

( and why is my post centered ? )
