I was thinking about making some of these picks, but I was too lazy to look for material to use to make them. This is a very good idea. thank you.

Wow that looks like a relatively new lock.They still make thise things?

[helloman]

ya they do believe it or not these things suck i would use these at all

[novicelockpicker]

nice idea...thanks! ...i thought of making warded picks out of some sheet metal I found once...but never got around to it since i hardly ever come across those things...nevertheless good job , i wouldn't have thought of grinding down a kwikset key!

[Shrub]

[JackNco]

Yep, AMAZINGLY all the cisco stuff in my Unis computer labs is secured with the. i may have to have a word. but i wont want to announce that i pick locks and the techs are about as lazy as they come. maybe ill take in a pick and demo it to one of the lecturers that i get on with.

Probly better to make a warded lock pick from a warded lock key.

[JackNco]

I think the point was if u don't have one...

[novicelockpicker]

thanks for the inspiration...ya i found an old key in my school and i got a hand file and got it down to about the same shape as in the pic you showed....also im not breaking the rules cause my parents havent used it in 20 or so years...they dont even sew its just a decoration...at the end of it is a shot of my S&G 831B military lock.

enjoy http://s175.photobucket.com/albums/w137/novicelockpicker/?action=view&current=DSCN1387.flv

Yes Wolfe, sadly, they still make them.
and sadly, people still buy them because they are sooooo cheap.
and sadly, they trust them, because humans are...... nevermind.

A certain govt...err...ummm ORGANIZATION used these
on arms lockers for a while. I noticed it and pointed it out
to....insert name of 'person' in charge......
He didn't seem to be very concerned.

I drew him a picture on a napkin and explained how easy it was.
I saw him again 3 days later.... he had not believed how easy it was,
so he went to wal-mart and bought a lock, cut the key himself and
used it.... he immidiately called his supervisor to come see.

after his supervisor saw he called a few other people and the locks
were changed within 6 hours...... at at least 3 locations I know of.
(unknown how many hundred locks that intailed)
but they told me it took almost a week to get everyone who
was supposed to have a key a new copy. opps......

(and yeah, they kept my napkin)

can you do that with a normal key rather than a key for a warded padlock?

[mcm757207]

You can do it with any piece of rigid material that will fit into the lock.

[samfishers]

oh yeah

warded padlocks here i ( am gonna try) come

[jestersrobe]

I just got back from Lowe's, and they sell warded padlocks from a company called Task Force, distributed by Milwaukee Lock Company, a division of Master Lock. I picked one up to play with. It is, by far, the cheapest keyed padlock there, coming in just under $5.
