Open cylinders with unusual means (toilet paper tube)

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

I read some where that a locksmith broke into an "unbreakable" dimple lock by pushing a condom into the lock and blowing it up. Those small balloons that they make those ballon animals out of would work great.

Nope. It is legit. Seriously.

I have already tried with small balloons made with plastic bags but unsuccessfully.

Note - this is the bio-degradable toilet paper you get from camping supply stores.

man, that's pretty cool! I never really understood or cared about impressioning, but now I'm curious and interested. Looks like another forum search binge for me!
If it works, it ain't wrong! :wink: -GWiens2001

Thanks Gordon. I happen to have some of that on hand for the camper. Guess we'll be using the camper toilet for a while until we empty a roll :)

Self printing is easy with wax for example, but it degrades the cylinders.

This method is useful because everyone can use it. A locksmith might have keys prepared in advance for the most currents cylinders.
