i am a novice lockpicker. ive been trying to pick the keyhole on the back of a combo lock with a cupla paper clips for a while now. i keep raking it, but as near as i can tell, ive made no progress. all the pins look like they're in the rite place still. any pointers?

do you mean one of these?


Here is a thread here on LP101 where it is discussed. ( hint use search http://www.lockpicking101.com/search.php)

in it Murph says:

I have found those Master Combos with the keyway a cinch to pick, just keep the tension very very light. That was the first lock I ever picked.

oh my god, soooo easy...

get one of those bobby pin things(bent with one side wavy), straighten it out as best you can, then bend the not wavy end sideways, not the easy way, bend it on the thin edge into a small hook, don't worry about it being square

use this and a normal tension wrench and the lock opens with like, 2 rakes... if it doesn't yield after 2, take a breath and try again...

otherwise look up my thread here, it details a good way to find that combo in about 10 minutes, at most... viewtopic.php?t=3854&highlight=

i found some on Locktek combo's hard because they are so small, but i'll go try again

[kuefler]

make smaller and smaller tools... i usually have 2 sets of tools, normal and like, super tiny for locks that size and smaller.

[skold]

yeah i was thinking about making slimlines for small locks

[Murph]

I have one of those combos, a Master. I use small hook that I made out of a junior hacksaw blade. I keep the tension ultra light. I've crack it, say, about 3 times out of 5. It's my "relaxation" lock when I'm having a bad picking day.

...at school i picked 30 off the lockers in 60 seconds, thats how shitty that cylinder is.

1. Not all locks have an easy pin config and so can be so easy and others same brand and all can be very difficult, also you could have had luck on your side.

2. You know that stealing locks of a locker is not a good idea and that all the pickers on this site should have told you that...sounds a litte sus

3. its not how "crappy" a cyliner is, its the pin config, although the quality of the lock will make a small difference
