Okay, well presuming you are talking about a cheap piece of crud masterlock , I would reccomend lockpicks - it simply savs the agro of making picks when you could better spend the time practicing at the beginning.

lol... Searching will answer most of them for you, but if you're unsure, and have searched, then by all means ask - it's what I'm payed for. :wink:

It is possible, but if you actually care about learning to pick locks, don't even bother with paperclips or other household junk. I did it once with two paperclips, using one as a pick and the other as a torque wrench, and surprisingly it worked, but I just did this for the hell of it to see if I could do it.

You won't gain much insight by doing this, if you care to learn how to pick locks, buy some picks. It's as simple as that. And while you are waiting for your picks to arrive, feel free to read up on picking manuals and what not, but don't waist your time "practicing" with safety pins. Your time would be just as well spent tasting the locks for practice.

ooooOOOOh! (<---I obnoxiously say) It is MacGyver time! 8)

Everyone else did a pretty good job at already answering the question, but, oh well...

You say that you are new at this
im new at this)


So, can I safely assume that you are attempting a #1 or three?
I do not think it matters that much, but I just want to visualize...

You have no tools at all? No tension wrench? Hmm...

Oh, This pen right in front of me would do rather nicely. S'cuse me while I find my digital camera...But before I go... It is a "Pilot Precise V5 Pen."

I'll be right back...

Illusion, I'm sorry. :lol: :oops: I just type as I think... And It shows...

Anyway, I have, in front of me, a red "Pilot Presice V5 Extra Fine Rolling Ball."

I then bent the metal thingy (What do you call that? :( The part that keeps the pen in your pocket?) I guess terminology doesn't matter if you can tell what I mean from my picture:

Then, you can just take the red cap thing (my, aren't I descriptive :roll: ) off the pen...

And, well...

Happy picking...

It feel sort of awkward... Gee, if you are a new bee, please do get a decent tension wrench...This one won't get you very far. But, at least you have temporary relief from the antsiness.

Sorry for the double pos, especially after the other one...

Until you get some picks, I would not use paperclips. Safety pins are stronger.

Hey, you beat me! I thought I was double posting, as I think I might be now, but who knows... It is a race to see who can hit "submit" first :lol:


I write things that I have to remember, or really want to remember. I was at the library today, and just because I felt like it, I looked up high security locks. The note on my hand says "Norman High Sec 1976."
To me, that means tht Norman Epstien patented his Norman High security lock in 1976.

Tip: the ink will last longer if you write it longitudinally between the two creases. It won't bend as much.

It is more logic than some of the notes I take :)

just an incite into the illegible rubbish I write to make notes... probably longer usualy lol.

Yes you did double-post, but hey... :P :)
