one handed lockpicking

[jasontimmer]

anyone seen this yet? i can't take credit for it, as it wasn't me. i feel all my previously conquered locks have a new challenge to offer me. Kudos to the individual who did this, and shame on me if this is nothing new!

I've seen a video or two on youtube.com where te person would do it one handed, but that was mostly on wafer locks. This is the first time i've seen it on a five pin door ock. Great job on his part. I like thae handels that he made for his picks. It seems he's been doing this a while. I'll have to go and try this later today.

I have respect for anyone who can do this. I've tried it, and i have to say I can't.

it was one handed lockpicking that first inspired me to make the ergonomic handles that have a loop so your finger goes through the hole, this is an anti drop protection, you cant drop the pick and I use a rubberband to connect the tensor to my little finger, this guy is just doing it the hard way.

Yah i saw it that is CVScam one of our members look up his profile and that link is in it... Hes a nice guy he helped me learn how to get in my best friends car for him in a pm... however he had already driven to get his spare keys with my van

but man thats cool i tried it and i can do it with simple kwiksets and defiants... I cant find my cam or id tape it too... anyone else who can do this you should definitely make a video im sure db is pro at it... mr banana picker / bumper...

I thought I'd give it a try, here is a video of me picking a Master lock #575 one-handed.

Very nice Lucky!

I just had to reply when I saw a link to my video. The picks in that video are about 2-3 years old I made the handles out of epoxy and I made them a bit big because I have big hands. The 1/2 diamond is made from a copping saw blade and the tension wrench is a coat hanger with a few loops to let it give some. I raked the last pin because I just couldn't feel it setting with the same hand I was picking with.

I picked an old kwickset 5 pin and a cheap 4 pin china padlock. I held the camera in my left hand and only used one tool as the pick and tension wrench. I can do almost 3 out of 5 on kwicksets and 3 out of 4 on cheap china padlocks with the one tool. I only get about 1 out of 3 on master padlocks and very few schlage locks with the one tool.

It's new members doing it. Happens all the time. For us they are old threads but for them it's all brand new.

Oh, well. I'd rather read necro bumps than new posts with the same old questions.

Me too. That and the catalyst of a self inflicted injury to my picking hand. I blame Johnny Walker and Tom Beringer.
