How to lock a lock?

[Sugar]

it feels like a stupid question...
I can pick open a deadbolt in a matter of seconds (with my new bogotas), I cannot lock it though...

There are two ways (that I know of so far! I'm still rather new to all of it) to accomplish this.

With a plug spinner, or trying to pick it again applying tension in the opposite direction.

It's normally a bit harder to pick a lock one way than it is another (it's odd, but true in most cases) so your best bet would be a plug spinner!

@Sugar: "Pick open a deadbolt" sounds like a lock that is in use, bad idea to practice on those.

Ugh.

Stop asking the same question in multiple posts okay? You have the same answer, over and over now..
