First off, it is definetly worth your while to search and find second opinions on everything. Everything you could possibly want to know is out there.
To pick a lock, you simply have to replicate the key. To do this, you need to find a material that will form to the shape of a key. I find that cheese (american, the type you would put on a cheese burger) works well. Don't worry about it sticking in the lock, all locks have a special lubricant in it that helps the key go in and out smoothely, which will allow the cheese to do the same. First cut a piece of it so it will fit in the lock (you want it to be about 1/2 the height of the keyway, sitting on the bottom of the keyway)- it should be as close to perfectly rectangular as possible. After getting it in the lock (be carefull and try not to squash it), you need to take a paper clip (don't unfold it, you'll need a smaller one to fit in better) and push the cheese in as far as you can (it's alright if the paper clip goes in so far that you can't reach it, keep pushing with something else if you have to). Don't worry if you think it's going ot be stuck, once it's picked, it will be forced back out from the other direction. Now that the paper clip is in, take a small hammer or something and *gently* knock the door right above the keyhole while at the same time using a flat head screw driver to apply a small circular motion to the keyhole. Evenentually all of hte pins will line up and the cylinder will turn, after which the cheese and paper clip will be forced out by a spring loaded mechanism in the back (this mechanism is there so when pranksters stick a toothpick or something in to keep the key from working it pushes it back out) Good luck![/quote]thanks the reason I wanna learn how to lock pick is because my mom threw away my key to my guitar case and my guitar was locked in there. and plus there is a safe only with a lock and we lost the key(you no thats the kind of bad luck i get
) and it had some of my personal belonging in it and some really old things. THANK YOU!
