pick templates to print out

by **DeadlyHunter** » 19 Jul 2006 22:36

I am sure someone here has the full files of these pick templates, as I just have a portion of them ( they were powerpoint slides if I remember correctly). Regardless, here are some pick templates, they should print correctly if you print them as a full page on the windows picture printing wizard.

right click and save as..

directions (once saved to your computer):

right click on picture's icon

click 'print'

the 'Photo Printing Wizard' comes up

select the pictures

click 'next' until you get to the 'Layout Selection'

then select 'Full page fax print'

click 'next' until it prints then it should come out okay - it did for me anyway

feel free to message me if you have problems

cool dude. I know this will help alot of people. I needed the right size for my ball pick and I wanted to check the angles on my hook pick. I always make my half diamonds with a bigger diamond than that but that might just be me.

Unfortunately, the links are now dead so it might be tricky to get the missing parts of the templates.

Nice find though, a link saying where the templates originaly came from would be nice though.

Deadlyhunter,
i am new to this trade as well. I have been reading alot of the information that is posted on LP101 and all of you seem to be very helpful. I am retired military (FEB 2006) and I am midway through my lcoksmith course and have had some ecercises in lockpicking. I have a long way to go and much to learn but I wanted to thank you for the TEMPLATES you posted. Here is an elementray question. How does one know what each pick design used on which lock? The course that I am enrolled in is hitting the basics and the rest is up to me to learn. Hands on is the best. They have covered the 3 basic "pick methods" Feel and rake seems to be the best for most lock smiths. One more question: I follwoed your instructions on how to print the page of templates and it worked great. Are these picks to scale?

HA HA HA!! My ETS date was 28FEB06, cool

Picks come in three varieties, rake, hook, and rocker. Hooks are used for pin-by-pin picking. The depth of the hook decreses as the keyway becomes more restricted. Rakes (anything with a wave shape on the end) are used for raking. Profile picks are curved all the way to the handle and are used to simulate the shape of a key.

The picks are to scale.

Hope this helps, welcome to the site, thanks for your service, and good luck in your new trade.

SFGOON, Congradulations on your recent ETS. Are you a OIF VET? Have you started (or you might have already applied for VET. benefits through your local VET Regional office? I went out as SFC. You? I have helped different fellow VETS with getting a seond chance with the VET Benefits due to the CFR 38 "CUE" they were from the from the ODS/ODS time frame. Same goes to you. Good luck to you in the future and thanks for being a proud veteran.

Yes your inforanmtion is real helpful and greatly appricated. I am just getting started. I found out a long time ago, the stupid question is the one that is not asked. I have been on the other side of this too. I always encouraged people to ask me if they did not know no matter how elementray it was to me. Ifollowed my own advise you answered with professionalizm. I like this web site. You can tell that there are alot of [b]GOOD people and professional people that is standing by ready and willing to thelp. I will be on e of them some day. Thank You For Your Support!

@ollieb

Sorry I wasn't able to reply right away however, I think SFGOON did a good job of it (My thanks to SFGOON). I think that I, like many, have learned lockpicking just by starting with a simple set a maybe a couple of each type maybe 8-15 picks total and just picking simple locks (like cheap door locks with a few pins removed). Then you will hear from some people (in real life or the internet) that a particular pick is good for a certain style of lock so you make a few more and more complex locks open faster. I think this process keeps going untill you have almost all standard lock picks and start to make your own designs. At that point the wife normally wonders how crazy her husband is and tries to get him into other hobbies like decorating

Anyway, glad you found the templates useful and I will have to get around to posting all the other ones I have around here someplace :lol:

Would'nt it be alot easier after you printed the templates, to use a razor blade to cut them like a stetsile ( spelling ). And, then take the paper and but it over your hacksaw blade and spray paint it w/ high temp engine enamel. Use your dremel tool to cut it down to what looks like a pic and then sand it down

It would be easier for some people, but it is all about personal preference, and what comes easier to them.

Personally using a fine tipped Sharpy Marker is cheaper, efficient and less hazardless than buying a can of H/Temp engine enamel spray paint.

i always thought it would be cool if there was a sticky with just pics of templates. just cut from diffrent threads and piled in one. with two rules, one the pic has to be pasted to the post and two there has to be rulers in the pictures and no considerations for the original tutoral or instructions just the picture posts. i'd surf around and do it but i dont have a clue how.
