I was just wanting to know how to pic locks on cars, school lockers, and reg. house locks and deadbolts, like i kno this probobaly sounds really noobish but like pick the locks with like paperclips and stuff, the locks on our school lockers are like the round ones where u spin past the first number 3 times then land on it, then spin the oppisite direction and spin past the second number one time then land on it, then spin in the oppisite direction again and land on the third number and pull down on the lock, ty guys

You had better take the time to read things around here.

We do not advocate picking any lock that does not belong to you, and we absolutely get a little crazy when one of the first things you ask about is picking automotive locks.

If you have real honest reasons for such questions, fine but anything that sounds at all remotely fishing is going to get you fired on.

If you are looking for the criminals how-to page, its a long way from here.

Well, here's the scoop.

Don't pick any lock you rely on, and never pick a lock you don't own unless you are given specific permission to do so.

To learn and practice, go buy new or find old locks that people can give you.

Vehicle locks are delicate things, and quite easy to screw up. Picking locks at school may seem cool until you get suspected of stealing everything in sight, and if you mess up your house lock, you are going to have a real pain in the rear explaining that one.

No locks you rely on, and nothing you don't own yourself.

I get what your saying, that im a noob and I probably just want to go steal some shit oouuta a car, but thats not the case i just wanna learn the trade of lockpicking, does someone know how to pick the school lock i mention'd abouve?

[Romstar]

If its a master combination lock, you can manipulate it, or if there is a small keyway in the rear, you can pick it. I understand the cheaper Dudley lock can't be manipulated, and also has a latching mechanism which can't be shimmed.

Look, I will save you a lot of grief.

Even if you OWN the lock on your locker, picking anything in school is the fastest way to get people thinking you are a thief and you will be the go-to guy any time something goes missing.

As for the rest, don't be picking it if you use it every day. This means your car locks, your house lock and even your locker.

This is a great hobby and can fill a lot of time and be very rewarding, but you aren't going to get a lot out of it if the people around you think your a thief.

If you are really interested, stop asking about picking these sorts of things, and read here for a while.

You will find instructions on making tools, the best locks to start with, where to buy tools if you don't want to make them, and even in some cases how to deal with family and friends who don't understand your fascination with lock picking.

Take the time to really think about what you are doing, and if looking cool for a few minutes is worth planting the seeds of doubt in people so that they automatically think of you when something disappears.

Good luck,

OK dude, i am still a *noob* but thing around here are quite strict.

If you want to *pick* or actually bypass a lock on your locker there are ways. a few from what im told. but asking about car locks is just dumb. u may as well ask if anyone can get you a gun cheap as well

Lock picking is a great hobby but half the fun is the research and learning about the locks. if you just dive in and ask how to steal a car (Not saying you want to) people get the wrong impression.

My advice is spend a good 12 hours over a few nights reading through old posts. read a few guides. the MIT guide is pretty much considered the beginners bible.

NEVER pick a lock you use everyday. ive mashed up 3 locks so far picking and re pinning them.

Get a Yale 5pin lock on ebay. 2 is better. strip it/them down and look at how it all works. then start on that. re pin it with 3 non security pins.

As i say things are strick on here and for good reason. if you need any help feel free to message me and ill try and help but i will NOT be telling you how to get in to or bypass lock on lockers. i have a half deent collection of PDF files ill pass on from TOOOL and a few other places.

IF all you are interested in is bypassing locks and not learning a skill then i suggest you look else ware.

I say all of this as a new commer (3 months ish) to this forum and hope you get in to the hobby

Don't pick any of the locks you mentioned. You can screw them up or get into legal trouble.

In you really want to learn, first read all the stuff on this link:

viewtopic.php?t=10715


If your still interested, get your parents to take you to Home Depot, Loews, or an large hardware store and get the following locks:

kwikset Deadbolt
Schlage Deadbolt
Master Lock # 3
master Lock #5

Then take those home and use them for practice. Follow the advice of these guys, they know what they are talking about.

No, it's not cool. End of discussion.
