lock wont open!

Hi, i was just after some help and advice on what i might have done wrong. I tried picking a lock at my school. It was a deadbolt lock that also also has a master key for it. When i picked it i encountered a problem though, i turned the plug but it only went almost 180 degrees then would not move any further. At first i thought i was turning the wrong way, but when i tried turning it the other way it didn't even get 40 degrees so any help on what i did wrong would be much appreciated. Thanks

first off, those locks aren't yours to pick. that is illegal!!
your top pins have dropped into the keyway so you need to push them back into the body of the lock. if you look at the keyway where the bottom of the key would sit you will see the dropped pins. use the back of a pick, push them all up and turn the plug.

thanks for your help, i'll give it another try when i get some new picks. And no you have it all wrong, i had permission! A teacher overheard a conversation between me and some friends and wanted to see if i could actually pick locks or not. 5-10 years for a 15 year old...not likely. I would assume I'd get a warning at the most.

Haha yeah some how I think you're full of it

If people at your school know that you can pick locks and all, well guess who they will accuse of stealing if anything goes missing around the place.

ah but he proved he couldn't pick the lock, just stuffed it up.

marco, you don't need a pick to fix the lock, anything that will manage to push all the pins back into the body will do.

Mate your a straight idiot. First off if you in public school, thats a federal offence as tax money paid for those locks.

Second, a teacher has no permission. THe principal, or other figure of autority would grant that... to a professional. Probobly the lockie who has all the keys on file to open or replace the lock.

And if the teacher allowed this, you in trouble becuase now the entire faculty knows. Basically anything that happens you screwed.

Breaking and entering,

Possecions of a wepons and instruments of crime on school gronds (picks are sharp and pointed)

Terroristic acts (you may laugh, but they don't know what could come if you opened locks),

Theft with lockpicks.. no need to even say that trouble you will get into.

Possession wiht intent to use (as you clearly stated to us and you teacher)

Tampering with state/federal property-> (think of what happens when you screw with the mail)

And no mate, you watch to much TV, what ever the official words or terms for these charges are just the beginning. They will link you to anytheft since you began a that school.

And yes, your young.. the court does not care, you will be tried as an adult. And if you lucky enough, they will grant you a descion of Solitary confinment insted of solitary confinment.

And you can laugh, however, my best freinds father who is a sargent at Graterford state penitentry like most guards will laugh and turn away when you get your face smashed in amongst other things.

Just become emo and sit in your room, your common sence of locks, proboboly out ways your common sence and thinking abilty.. which clearly is nothing.

But hey it's your life and your arse (litterly kid)

I meant solitary instead of general population. that is if the judge is nice enough to grant that choice.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
he is right, as good as it is to show off, there is a place and a time and at school is not it, to you it is a stupid mistake, but in a couple of months when stuff gets stolen from someones locker, or even from the school, they will remember you and they wont care what you have to say in your defence
so next time maybe buy some locks from the shop and practice on them, and dont go showing everyone why your young, as good as your intensions may be they wont see it that way
