warded padlock picks

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.

look at the lock

look at the lock, first make a flat piece of metal that is not too thick or wide to go into the key hole all the way to the bottom, then take it out, and look at the laminations on the side of the lock, make a T cross at the tip of the pickblade, that is as wide as one of the laminations, and make the shaft as wide as the widest part of the keyway that you can see when the curtain is turned 90 degrees. (curtain is the spinner with the wards on it at the keyway opening) make another T cross on the shaft with enough space to pass two laminations, if this key does not open the locks any trouble, you will want to make another that has space enough to pass 3 laminations. the rest of the shaft should be thinned to the width of the keyway at a 90 degree turn.

Okay, sorry for the delay... but here's some pictures of warded padlock
picks, AND automotive jiggler keys(the blue one sucks, but I included it
incase someone else can make it work)

here they are:

I think this may work better as apposed to the tracings, as these are the
real deal and are exact... although warded padlock picks don't need to be
exact... *shrug*

Enjoy, and use responsibly, I don't feel like having people get in trouble cause i'm too nice!

p.s. excuse the size, but I wanted to leave them to scale so you could
print them off and be good to go.
