Silent picking

[rock3t33r]

I was wondering what the most quiet method was to picking a tumbler, so anyone on the other side cant hear.

if there's someone on the other side of the door
and you don't want them to hear you picking
it makes me wonder who's lock it is

is this your lock ?
do you have permission from the owner of this lock ?

sounds like something a criminal would ask ?

not a good start, rock3t33r

I personally don't think this is an appropriate question on a lockpicking hobby forum. There is no situation in normal peacetime civilisation where breaking in on someone by picking quietly is required or legal.

This is (in my opinion) also not a suitable forum for military or police training, which I think would be more appropriate coming from the relevant authorities, under normal training condtions.

Answering such a question here risks giving this forum a bad name.

Maybe he's SWAT and wants to do this in hostage situations.

I agree completely. Thread locked. Consider this a message rock3t33r.

I feel it only fair to mention that in another thread rock3t33r made his intentions more clear. I'm still opting to leave this thread locked because I really don't think that any good info that could come of it would be appropriate for the public forums, but I thought I should mention that rock3t33r is probably not the criminal that his initial post implied he might be.
