My homemade lockpicks works fine!

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.

This is my first lockpicks, made them myself yesterday from Iron Saw blade.

The Locks:

The old one: 3Pin | easy to pick, picked it about 40times now I think.

The new Padlock: 4Pin (Mushrum) | kind hard to pick, done it like 10times-

The Cylinder: 5Pin with 3 spacers | Picked it "once" and removes the spacers. Hard lock I would say.

Those are very nice picks indeed. I'm not so sure about those huge handles, but the actual pick on the end brings tears to my eyes :)

Especially for the first ones you've made. Handles look a bit big to me, but other than that. nice work.

hehe, thnx for all the good comments ;) really makes a beginner like me happy :D I made the handels big just because so they can lean agains my hand so I dont have to "hold" the pick with 2-3 fingers.

but now after 2 days of lockpicking, I can pick our main door at the house :D that aint to bad, is it =)

btw. what would you say the level of difficulty was on the cylinder lock I got?

Now that I look at that safety pin wrench, I understand the 90 degree bend. I thought it looked like a hook tha for some reason had an extra bend... It looks almost like a bypass tool that I made for a brinks key in knob lock. :)
