Well im very very new to lock picking although I have been interested in it for a long time.. I like the technical side and the fact that it tests your skills etc.. (I also like when you have to pick locks on splinter cell lol)..

Recently I was in school and some kid decided that it would be funny to attach a small padlock to my bag.. I am now faced with a problem, I cant get the lock off and therefore get into my bag!! Which has items inside that I need.

could any one please tell me how i can pick the lock but with out using professional equipment?(as I don’t own any and i don’t have any money to buy some). i have lots of house hold items at my disposal! i have many different tools and things. Please please please help me.. its only a small padlock and hopefully wont be hard to pick.. Thanks!

Well, if you actually want to LEARN how to pick locks, then you should start here: viewtopic.php?t=10528

If you just want to get into the bag, I would either cut the lock, or cut the zipper that it's locked to. If the shackle of the lock is too big to cut, just cut the zipper tabs right next to the shackle and you'll be able to open your bag. Then you can keep the lock, learn how to pick it open, and lock it to his. ;-)

Thats only a like Kryptonite http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/v58 ... k_keys.jpg

Try getting a Wiper blade insert And filing it down into a hook ( smooth not sharp :D ) and then a piece of Wiper blade insert about 1 foot long and put a 3cm 90 degree bend in it.

Right, either find the guy and beat the crap out of him till he gives you the key, or go to your teacher and get them to persuade him to give it to you.

It's all about the tension mate - everybody knows you can't pick locks unless you use a 1 foot long wrench :wink:

:P

Leave the lock alone, take a craft knife and cut your bag open (if the items are that important) because this post is sooo suspicious
