How do these work? Can they be picked or do you need special tools?

Does this site have a search feature so i dont have to repeat questions?


thanks

[VashTSPD]

Search.

[UWSDWF]

yeah they can using regular picks or a tubular one... what do you need a free pop or something

[Romstar]

They pick like normal locks, except on a vertical plane rather than a horizontal. The catch is that you have to pick them a few times if you are using standard picks, and that means both to open and to re-lock them.

The normal proceedure is to use a special tubular pick.

There is a search function on the site, its at the top right.

Huh,

Great

So your friends dad is sick of his kids friends coming over and drinking his pop or beer, so he put it in a pop machine, which you're now breaking into.

Wonder what happens to this thread.

Beat them with a stick till they stop dressing like rappers and acting like numbnuts?

The cops have the right technique... Attitude re-adjustment.

Start with the parents.

Our greatest problem isn't exactly the kids, its society at large.

Latch-key kids are a problem, not to mention parents who are so wrapped up in their own thing that they don't talk to their kids. Look at Columbine. I couldn't get a playboy into my room without my grandmother knowing about it, and those kids were breaking glass in the garage to make grenades. Do you think the parents were a litle outta touch there? I mean COME ON!

I talk to my kids, all the time about everything, and I DO mean everything.

I'm in the car the other day, waiting for the kid's bus and one of the boys asks, "Whats a hummer?"

Now, being that its early, and I'm not really awake I tell him its a big truck. This isn't the answer he's looking for. Bear in mind, he's only 11 years old. The daughter, she's 13 and she's got a weird look on her face.
So a little more discussion gets me to the point, apparently he heard someone say that they gave their boyfriend a hummer.

Yep, you heard that right. Kinda peeled the fog outta my head.

By this point, the girl's got a look on her face like she's either gonna crawl away and die, or laugh herself onto the floor mat. I'm not sure yet.

So I tell him it's something he will learn about when he's older.

Now, no word of a lie, (the boy's quick) he comes back with, "Oh, it's a sex thing".

"Yep, thats what it is", I said.

The girl at this point is a few shades redder than before, and I look her right in the eye and ask, "Is there anything you want to add?"

She gets that deer in the headlights look, and says, "Nope, that's Sally's department."

I started laughing my head off. The boys are confused, and I have to have a longer discussion with the girl it would seem.

Kids are running out of control because everybody is freaking scared to discipline them anymore.

I remember when I was young, if I got into trouble in school, I wasn't afraid of what they would do. I was afraid of what my grandfather would do when I got home.

If me and my buddy did something stupid, his dad was just as likely to wail on me as his son, and then he'd call my grandfather, and I'd get it all over again just in case the first time wasn't convincing enough.

I got spanked once, and only once. It wasn't because I threatened to take my grandfather to court, it was because it hurt like HEII and I knew he would do it again if I gave him cause.

I was as scared of my grandfather as much as I looked up to him. We've taken that away from parents.

Now, I don't agree with abuse, I didn't then, and I don't know but we've gone so far off the mark that it isn't funny.

My kids don't get graded in elementary school anymore. At least one high school that I know of is following the same example. "Its bad for their self esteme" or some other crap.

Well, the first thing I did after I stopped reeling from that little bombshell was consider the real world. The real world doesn't let you have as many tries as it takes to get it right. You can either do the job, or you can't. We held kid back when they couldn't do math. We expected it to be done in their heads, without calculators and they had to show their bloody work.

Not today it seems. Today its a crime to hold them back, it could ruin their social and emotional development.

I'll tell you whats going to ruin their social development. Getting into the real world and discovering you have a grade 5 reading level and you can't do anything but menial jobs.

"Would you like fries with that"? is not my idea of career advancement.

That will really screw up your social development. You can't get a decent job, you can't afford to move into your own place, or buy a car and most of all you can't support a family.

Yeah, we have a great society.

For the love of god, look after your kids and your kids will manage themselves. Let them run around like delinquents and you get what we have today. Kids that think they are in charge, acting like retards and generally messing up the place.

Responsibility begns at home, it always did. Its time we got some of it back.

Totally agree.

What do I do with what?

If you have taken any notice, in other posts I mention that I am brand new to lock picking. Society and Coke machines will be safe from me for many years to come.

What I think would be satisfying about lock picking is that its not supposed to be done. The prize is not theft, it is the sense of power and accomplishment.

[numeroquatro]

Yeah, adolescents can often be jackasses, but you have no character reference of me or any other member of this forum. My friend's dad is the sort of guy who cuts a little slit in your popcan when you are not looking so you repeatedly spill on yourself because you just think that your lips are not sealing. He loves screwing with us just as much as we screw with him.

If you have taken any notice, in other posts I mention that I am brand new to lock picking. Society and Coke machines will be safe from me for many years to come.

I hope that was meant in jest. We are not here to train people to be thiefs in the future. If thats what that comment ment,, then good luck getting any information out of us.

What I think would be satisfying about lock picking is that its not supposed to be done. The prize is not theft, it is the sense of power and accomplishment.

But it's not illegal(if you pick your own locks), so there is no feeling of "its not supposed to be done." You only get that feeling if you are commiting a crime. And again, we are not here to help people who wish to break the law.

The prize is not theft, it is the sense of power and accomplishment.

You are right here, you do get a sense of accomplishment when you open a lock, I get it to, but only with the locks that I own. This sense of power that you talk about, I would think comes from knnowing that you can open the lock to every house on the block. And again, thats not what we are here to teach. You should get that feeling of accomplishment when picking your own locks, and not just when your picking someone elses lock. Remember, if the goal is the lock, then you shouldn't be having any thoughts as to who's it is. If you do, then I'm thinking that maybe its not just the lock that you are thinking about, but more to as whats behind the lock, i.e. stealing. And those are the actions that we dont condone here.
Nick

If your intentions are true, than I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend(unless you truly are looking to steal). It just seems that your posts reflect towards the negative side of lock picking. And thats why were are cautious with what information we give out.

[numeroquatro]

Yes that comment was in jest.

I apologize for the ambiguity of my sentences.

When I say it is not supposed to be done, I mean the purpose of a lock is to be a special tool to keep the keyless out. No matter whom owns the lock, its purpose is never to be opened with something other than a key.
