First thing I do is put a knee pad down. Seriously, you younger guys think those knees will last forever on their own, think again. I've had 2 knee scopes and I'm 48. :wink:

Insert a bump-key into the lock, and then whack it repeatedly with a printout of any one of the lockpicking tutorials that are available on this site. :wink:

Jewmasterflex, please describe the problem your having, without a proper description of the brand and model or pictures of the lock, it is hard to help you with your problem.

Also, fill in the location in your profile, it will help others identify the locks and tools in your region.

Now that everyone has had there fun mabye i can help you. Do a Google search for the Losksport International guide to picking. Also, search for the MIT guide to lockpicking. These will help you understand what is going on inside a lock. It's good of you to adk the question you did, if you don't know what is going on inside a lock you will never be able to pick it. You can PM me any further questions if you wish to avoid the children and there unhelpful (but somewhat funny) replies.

actually a better way of doing this would be to use an appropriate and informative thread title, be explicit/specific in your question and if in doubt pictures. By doing these things not only do you make it easier for future users to gain help from your thread but also it makes it easier for the user base here to help you.

but hey what do I know, i'm just the big angry unfriendly guy who pisses people off

those look like HPC computer generated picks that the facilities employee has on the floor.

I personally dress as a ninja whenever doing a real life lockout.

I like the deer hunter vest dude with the cordless dremel and the "drill out jig" on the floor next to it. "Now this will just take a sec, these kinda locks cant be picked you know". (Now where do I gotta drill it?)
