I don't really have the money for a 2-in-1... would one of these open it?

Second one down... the "classic lever pick"?

thnx

Try making your own 2-in-1 - it's pretty simple, cheap to make, very satisfying and every bit as good as the commercial ones. Snapcarp did an excellent guide ERE

You can pick them with two bent wires but it's a bit hit-and-miss, especially for a beginner. The 'Classic Lever Pick' is just a bent bit of wire afterall.

well... i can try to make it... thanks

I advise buying anything from that cowboy company,

2 bits of wire is far from hit and miss, its all about practice,

Make your own, i certainly wouldnt be buying one,

ok i think i will. also where do u put the tension tool on a dounble sided lock? or is there a special tool? thnx.

If you mean a double bitted lock as in one that has a bit coming off both sides of the key then thats discussion for the advanced section,

If thats the lock you are attempting to pick and not the type ive shown above than a lot of peoples time has been wasted :roll:

by **Vsca** » 9 Apr 2007 7:56

no its not double sided... its like the one shown above... just type in "squire 220" in google image to see the exact thing i am one about.

I know what a squire 220 is you just threw in there how to pick a double sided lock which is a totally differant type of lock,

Did you mean a lock that takes the key from both sides then?

Oh i see... i mean i lock with pins on the top and the bottom. Sorry i wasn't concentration. Just wondering. thnx

Pins? This is a lever padlock!

You put the tension on the bolt thrower, which is at the back.

I understand what to do now about the lever padlock.

the next question i had was what do u do when a lock has pins on the top and the bottom.
