Thats how I opend my first lock too... Watched tv, had a lock and a bent screwdriver as a tention wrength, and a small watch screw driver as a lockpick... Click! =D Since that I`v only managed to open up like 6-7 more locks, but those I can open in under 10 sec =D And I only use this mini screwdrive! haha, it`s so fun! :) But I`m going to order a set now.. need some picks! ;)

It's one of those feelings you can never forget nor relive.

Did you say with a paper clip? It sounds as though you have tripped the lock mechanism [the small bars that lock into the shackle].

Goodluck with future picking.
