I have a deadbolt I can pick real easy but I'm not really picking it. I just put the pick in and jiggle it around a bunch and it opens. I rake it also a bit but I'm not really picking it. I tried picking it but I just couldn't feel the pins or anything and I just want to know what I can do to fix it so that I can pick it normally. I'm also having a problem with door knobs and would like some help what that too. Its the door knobs with the pins on top and bottom. Thank you for your time.


Can anyone here see the difference? Understand that I will overlook a lot of things, but where there are this many errors, with this many questions, with grammar as poor as this, I am just compelled to say something.

LEARN TO WRITE. Or at the very least, learn how to type.

Actually, you missed a line:

"N I don't like it. Any more than you may...."

Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before


Anyway, now that we've identified the song. I think that's enough of that. :wink:

Hmmm, Well im going to quickly aid this little fella.

Alright, the feeling in locks is one of the most difficult things to get accustomed to, as a lock has SOO much feel im a vice or in your hand and very little in an actual door. But remember the more you practice on locks out of doors, the easier it becomes with the REAL thing. Apart from that little bit of information... MIT guide... Search button... Mess with Phoenix and moke lets af spolen mist0k35 f0r R0m57ar.

Cheers,
Luke

P.S- ALL HAVE A GOOD ONE, IM IN A REALLY GOOD MOOD TONIGHT SO BEST WISHES TO ALL. With the usual exceptions N00bs, mods, frequent posters,lurkers....

I don't think anybody was helping him because he posted quite a few threads the other night, one of which was asking for help picking a car lock, so he could sneak into a locksmiths car and steal his tools.
