You started out so well with your intro post, and then you do this.

Asking someone how to pick a lock normally requires some information.

Is it a door lock? A locker lock? A pad lock? Mortice cylinder, rim cylinder, night latch, dead latch? Pin tumbler, warded or lever?

Is it brass, or steel, or what?

So, to save anyone else the trouble, I looked the things up.

They seem to be a plain old brass padlock. That says four pin, pin tumbler design. Most likely with no spool pins.

Read the MIT guide, and go from there.

Let me assist im pretty sure that padlock is a small one with 4 or maybe 5 pins and it has spools. It isnt hard, but i can imagine it could possibly be. But as romstar said. Do the hookey pookey.
