Is this lock pickable ?

[M47H3W]

Hello, I was wondering, do you guys think that this Schlage door is pickable, possibly with a bump key or something?

You'll have to excuse the vagueness of my answers, but it's your first post, and you link to close-ups of an apparently installed lock. The interest seems to be in getting it open rather than developing the sport picking skills this type if site focuses on, so I don't know how comfortable I am specifically addressing your questions. A couple things though, if your interest is sporting:

1) Search the forum for the lock manufacturer. There are numerous posts covering this lock; it's one of the more common out there.

2) Bump key use isn't exactly 'picking'. Bump keys may open a variety of locks, and it's generally considered a low-skill method, but there is a definite learning curve. A word of caution; even proper bump key use can damage a lock, let alone use by a novice.

That brings up the final point; as picking/bumping/etc. can damage a lock, don't attempt them on locks in use from a hobby standpoint. And definitely, definitely don't attempt them on locks that aren't owned by you or someone who has given you explicit permission to pick.

Master lock, Quickset and Schlage are the 3 most commonly picked locks that I know of. I have SPPed,raked, zipped and even gorilla picked Schlage locks (the latter was just to see if I could do it)

What do you mean by gorilla picking?
About the title, for all intents and purposes, virtually every lock you will come across is pickable.

Kwikset is spelled Kwikset not Quickset.

LOL, I watched the "locksmith" I know trying to open a 4 wafer lock on a truck bed tool box and it looked like a gorilla was picking it!!! He just jams the pick in and starts yanking up and down on the pick so hard I thought he was going to break it (it was my pick!!) He kept telling me that the 5th pin was really deap set... It was only a 4 wafer lock and when I looked where the pick was, he wasnt even on a wafer at the time... After about 8 to 10 minutes it finally opened (I think out of shear panic that he would keep going like that)

HE took out the wafer lock and asked if I could impression it for him because he doesnt have the time
I got it done in less time it took him to "pick the lock"


Squelchtone: I do keep doing that dont I? My hands have a hard time typing Kwickset with a K... I will try to catch it next time I do that..

Looks very much like a door in a school, or some similar institutional setting. Rule 1: Never pick a lock that isn't yours. Rule 2: Never pick a lock in use.

totally agree with 1mrchristopher about what that lock is most likely used on, locking this thread to prevent crime.
