When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.
One could go with the age old trick of picking the cylinder and turning a few degrees and then filling the keyway tightly with thread or similar type string .

You know, I keep hearing about this "age old trick" but I honestly don't see this working...at all. I have trouble believing that you would be able to pack the string in a way that would allow you to do this. I would LOVE someone to prove me wrong with a video, though!

I pack the thread in there as tight as I can using a pick that will enter the keyway. I fill it completely full until I can not push anymore in.
