easiest homemade lockpick?

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.

You can use things like paper clips, screw drivers, safety pins, nappy pins, pen tops, hait pins, old keys etc etc but your starting off on the wrong foot really, youll spend a long time getting no results and in the end give up on the whole idea due to frustration or go and get a commercial set or make your own from decent materials like you should have done in the first place,

There is a guide on making picks from paper clips but most of us dont think its worth while to do and especially if your new to the sport, its somthing you perhaps do when your actually good at picking with real tools and want some fun.


Shrub you kill me :lol: . I needed that after the way this work week has started out 8) .
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

I currently have a pick & wrench made from bobby pins. At the moment the pick is just a basic hook. But my ghetto DIY pick works. I have opened a couple padlocks from around my house and one from my neighbor’s front gate and letterbox.

I would love nothing more than a couple of Rays picks. But im dreaming at the moment. I wonder does he still make them.
I pick blindfolded ;)

wanted to edit my last post, but no edit button to be found

~ even if someone did try a pubic hair pick, would anyone really want to see the pics of the attempt?
