Picked a Lock For The First Time + Homemade Picks

[108CAM]

Made myself a lock pick by taping a bent bobby pin onto a broken file and managed to pick 3 locks with it! I call my pick the BobbyFile.
This was also my first time picking a lock successfully. The locks I picked were some small 40mm brass Master Locks which turned out to be a perfect lock to test my pick on.

Here's a photo of my homemade pick, tension wrench & one of the locks I picked.

Congrats! It's not easy to get a first open, especially with improvised tools I love how you've been updating your signature as you pick!

Thanks! I'm hoping to improve my skills so I can pick some padlock cores and rekey them so I can use the locks. I'll continue to use the Master locks for practice and slowly move to larger locks as I get better. Hopefully I remember to update my signature whenever I pick a lock.
