well i'm a total newbie to lock picking and i started of from lock picks made from paper clips cindof, what i foundout istat it is a good a idea to flaten the pick (first get it ito the shape you want and then just use somethung to flaten it - i used 2 dumbbells

) the idea is to make it whider and keep it from bending vertivaly. this workt prity fine for my i have picked a five pin lock which was teken out of my front dor when i lost the key ... (at that time i used a tention wrench made from a thic spring) now i am using apick made the same way from a key ring - works surprisingly well
